Locate the "plugins" folder within the .zip and drag it into the BepInEx directory located within your game's files.

That's it! The More Players mod is now installed. The next section details how to configure it.

How to Increase Lobby Size

To adjust the lobby size in R.E.P.O., you'll need to modify a configuration file:

Open the BepInEx config folder.
Use Notepad (or a similar text editor) to open the zelofi.MorePlayers.cfg file.
Find the line that reads "Maximum Players" and change the numerical value to your desired lobby size. For example, input "8" for an eight-player lobby.
Save the file and launch the game.

Remember, setting the number too high might cause the game to crash, so adjust cautiously.
