About this mod
Proj. Toaster is a twofold restoration of Proj. Potato & Removed Texture Filters FPS Boost. It includes Proj. Spud which heavily cuts back on graphical effects to improve performance, aiming at low end systems, & Proj. Toaster itself, which more lightly cuts back on graphical effects to improve performance, aiming at more middling systems.

Notice: I will be seeking to update this mod for compatibility with Next once we've arrived at a stable version of the game. Until then, the versions currently available are for Atlas Rises only.
Thank you so much for downloading this mod, sharing and enjoying it with others. For those interested in my other mods, I'll be looking to update those that remain relevant once we've arrived at a more stable build of Next that won't necessitate repeated updates to my work and repeated downloads on your end. See you then!
-----------------------------------------------------------
With the permission of Ahad, original creator of Project Potato, and Yendorion, original creator of Removed Texture Filters FPS Boost Park I have dug through their work and compared it against the Atlas Rises versions of the respective files, restoring both mods to the best of my ability. Some elements of their previous work appear no longer to be as possible with the current version of the game, unfortunately, so they may not match completely, but in my testing, each restoration has generally improved performance from slight to moderate degrees.
The improvements range from extremely slight in the range of 4-6 FPS to rather moderate, in the range of 16-17 FPS. This was all in testing on a mid-range desktop PC, however, so with better hardware or lower performance overall, one may see these improve performance far better than my PC. In the past, I found Project Potato was literally what enabled me to run NMS on my laptop at all, so I'm hoping my restoration, Project Spud, may do likewise for others.
It's worth noting, though, that No Man's Sky has come a long way since release, so I highly recommend trying it again in vanilla on laptops, as I was surprised to find that the updates had enabled me to run it without any need for mods on my laptop. Nevertheless, my work with this will undoubtedly improve its performance on there, as it's still No Man's Sky, and my laptop is still just a laptop.
If you liked this, be sure to give my other work a look!
Cockpit Cloak. Conceal the cockpit so you can record slick videos!
Fireworks! Build a variety of firework launchers to light up the sky!
Atlas Language Assistant. Come to better understand a guest of the infinite.
Reforested Lush Planets. Restore the forests on lush planets incidentally lost with Atlas' Rise!
