For fans of online multiplayer horror games like Content Warning and Lethal Company, R.E.P.O. offers a familiar yet enhanced experience. One significant improvement? The potential for larger squads. This guide shows you how to expand your R.E.P.O. lobby using a handy mod.

Installing the More Players Mod in R.E.P.O.

R.E.P.O.'s default lobby size is six players, a generous amount. But if you crave even more chaotic fun, a mod can help. This requires BepInEx, a modding framework. Here's how to get started:

1. Download and install BepInEx: Grab it from Thunderstore. This is the essential tool for managing mods in R.E.P.O.
2. Download the More Players mod: Also available on Thunderstore.
3. Installation: Extract the downloaded .zip file. Locate the "plugins" folder within and move it into the BepInEx directory within your game's installation folder. That's it! The mod is installed. Now, let's adjust the settings.

How to Increase Lobby Size

To change the player limit, you'll need to edit a configuration file:

1. Locate the config folder: Open the BepInEx config folder.
2. Edit the config file: Use Notepad (or a similar text editor) to open zelofi.MorePlayers.cfg.
3. Adjust the player count: Find the line that says "Maximum Players" and change the number to your desired lobby size. For example, set it to "8" for eight players.
4. Save and launch: Save the changes to the file and launch R.E.P.O.

Important Note: Setting the player count too high might cause the game to crash. Start with a moderate increase and adjust as needed.
