What problem does it solve?

This guidance provides a comprehensive, battle-tested set of performance-centric patterns and conventions to improve Deadlock Panorama UI modding by reducing latency, avoiding common anti-patterns, and increasing maintainability.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Adaptive polling: implements multi-rate update loops to balance responsiveness and CPU usage across different UI components.
• Safe, cached UI access: encourages boot-time caching of panel references and guarded access to prevent ghost panels and frame drops.
• Zero-allocation routines: promotes zero- or minimal-allocation parsing and data handling to minimize GC pauses during gameplay.
• End-to-end workflows: includes compile-after-change protocol, testing steps, and structured project layout to support stable mod development.

Quick Start

After making changes to mod files, run the official compile command and test the build in Deadlock to verify performance improvements.
