Not just for Hamlet; it has an entity rendering limiter in it and a filepath cacher.

Optionally does all of the following:
1) Trades off some GPU requirements to the CPU to limit rendering of all entities.
2) (HAM) Turns off jungle shadows from the canopy.
3) (HAM) Turns off jungle vine decor.
4) Cache filepath resolving to boost performance for crafting tabs, or anything else that continually does this.
Credit to Steam user 76561198354418168 for this fix, the creator of 'pastoral style' mod that has this in it.


Default values for:
1) Enabled, 20 prefabs per type, 150 max.
2) Disabled - they're turned off.
3) Disabled - they're turned off.
4) Enabled - Filepath caching is on.



For the Entity rendering limit here's an explanation of its behaviour:

While enabled, the game will probe all nearby entities 10 times a second.

For each entity they are filtered by prefab type, and in some cases by tag (trees, pickable, structures) to group them together, and then if '> Individual Prefab Limit' setting threshold is met stops rendering the rest of this type.
- Some structures are flagged as high priority: Crafting benches, lightning rods, fire suppressors, firepits, cold firepits. These are higher priority and will break out of the tag clumping filter.

There is a global limit on the total number of rendered entities regardless of filter, set by '> Total Maximum'.



Filepath caching is to store all old results of resolving filepaths. This is a strain on HD usage as it has to try to read all sorts of filepaths before it gets it right. So by caching it only has to do it once and then no more times after that for that playthrough.



Changelog:
0.1.0- Release.
0.1.1- Filepath caching added.
0.1.2- Checks for PORKLAND_DLC variable before trying to access it due to strict.lua.
0.1.3- Removes the check from 0.1.2. Fixes Shadow/Vine support to use Klei's added in code. Fixes cracked walls being able to hide and get players stuck.
