What It Adds
- A way to influence pathfinding worker thread counts instead of treating them as untouchable startup behavior.
- A focused performance-tuning hook for servers that need more control over AI/pathfinding load.
- A small, practical mod aimed at operators rather than a player-facing gimmick.
How It Plays
Players may never click a button for ThreadMod, but they feel the results when server performance is steadier under load. For admins, the mod is about having another tuning lever when pathfinding pressure, hardware, and server population do not line up cleanly.
Why It Matters
Performance work is gameplay work on a live server. If AI load or pathfinding behavior causes instability, every other feature suffers. ThreadMod exists to make one part of that stack less opaque.
