How to Install the Player Expansion Mod

R.E.P.O. supports up to six players by default, but you can expand this limit with a simple modification.

Begin by installing BepInEx from Thunderstore, the essential modding framework for managing game modifications. Follow these steps:

Install BepInEx from Thunderstore
Download the Player Expansion mod
Extract the downloaded .zip file
Copy the plugins folder to your BepInEx directory

Once installed, you'll need to configure the mod to meet your specific requirements.

Adjusting Maximum Lobby Capacity

Expanding your lobby requires editing configuration files:

Navigate to the BepInEx config folder
Open zelofi.MorePlayers.cfg in Notepad
Locate the Maximum Players setting
Enter your desired player count
Save changes and launch the game

While you can set higher limits (eight players shown here), be cautious as excessive values may cause instability.
