How to Use the R.E.P.O. Lobby Size Mod

For fans of online multiplayer horror games like Content Warning and Lethal Company, R.E.P.O. offers a familiar yet enhanced experience. If you've played those titles and longed for larger squads, R.E.P.O. delivers. This guide explains how to utilize the lobby size mod to expand your gameplay.

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

R.E.P.O.'s default lobby size is six players—already quite generous. However, if you crave a larger group, a mod can achieve this.

First, you'll need BepInEx, a mod framework. Download and install it from Thunderstore. Then:

1. Download the More Players mod from Thunderstore.
2. Open the downloaded .zip file.
3. Locate the "plugins" folder within the .zip.
4. Drag and drop this "plugins" folder into the BepInEx directory located within your R.E.P.O. game files.

That's it! The More Players mod is installed. Now, let's configure it.

How to Increase Lobby Size

To adjust the lobby size, you need to modify a configuration file:

1. Open the BepInEx config folder (located within your R.E.P.O. game directory).
2. Use Notepad (or a similar text editor) to open the zelofi.MorePlayers.cfg file.
3. Find the line that says "Maximum Players=".
4. Change the number following "Maximum Players=" to your desired lobby size. For example, enter "8" for an eight-player lobby.
5. Save the file and launch the game.

Caution: Setting the number too high might cause the game to crash. Start with a moderate increase and adjust as needed.
