Installation
Install with r2modman; it also installs BepInExPack_GTFO. Everyone in the lobby needs the same version and the same tuning changes.
Tuning
Every number is listed in BepInEx/config/ForgeEnergyLab/tuning-defaults.json. To change one, copy only that value into tuning-overrides.json in the same folder, for example:
{
"weapons": {
"forge.energylab.blast": { "damage": 40, "blastRadius": 3 }
}
}
Restart the game after editing. Values you did not copy follow each update's defaults. If the file has a mistake, the mod stays off and the log names the field.
Known issues
- Multiplayer has not been tested.
- In stats mods, hit rate that counts every hit can go over 100% with Chain Arc, Flamethrower and Blast Gun.

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions
- Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
- Most mods rely on the game's mod loader — the usual route is a community mod manager (such as r2modman): pick this game, install, and it handles the loader and dependencies.
- For a manual install, put the mod files into the matching Mod / plugins folder inside the game directory.
- Launch the game to confirm it loaded; mods with listed dependencies need those installed as well.
Install locations vary a lot between mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
