Xtool is a specialized, command-line precompression tool developed by Razor12911 to facilitate the high-efficiency compression of large files, often utilized by game repackers. By pre-processing and decompressing internal data streams like Zlib or Png, the utility allows for improved compression ratios. Read more on the project's GitHub page at GitHub.

When a repacker tries to compress these games, the file size barely shrinks because the data is already "packed." 3mm birch plywood – clean cut
