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

R.E.P.O.'s default lobby size is six players, but you can increase this limit using a mod. Here's how:

3. Installation: Extract the downloaded .zip file. Locate the plugins folder within and move it into the BepInEx directory found in your game's installation folder.

That's it! The More Players mod is installed. Now, let's learn how to adjust the lobby size.

How to Increase Lobby Size

To change the maximum number of players, you'll need to edit a configuration file:

1. Locate the config folder: Open the BepInEx directory in your game's files. Inside, you'll find a config folder.
2. Edit the config file: Open zelofi.MorePlayers.cfg using Notepad (or a similar text editor).
3. Adjust the player count: Find the line that reads "Maximum Players=". Change the number following the equals sign to your desired lobby size. For example, to allow eight players, set it to 8.
4. Save and launch: Save the changes to the file and launch the game.

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