Particle Overdrive
A mod for Hollow Knight: Silksong that allows increasing the amount of particles to ridiculous levels
Installation
The Simple Way
Use r2modman or Gale.
Manual
- Download BepInExPack Silksong and extract it to the game folder, next to the game executable
- Download BepinExConfigurationManager
- Download from github, or and extract it inside of /BepInEx/plugins
3.
- (Windows) Run the game normally
- (Linux/MacOS) Run run_bepinex.sh
Configuration
Use BepinExConfigurationManager (open with F1 by default) to adjust the parameter in realtime, or edit the io.github.alexkiri.particleoverdrive.cfg file inside /BepInEx/config
- ParticlesMultiplier:
- increases the amount of particles
- decreases performance
- default value: VanillaHigh
- acceptable values: up to 16x
- ExtremeMultiplier:
- ridiculously high values are allowed
- recommended to disable the UpgradeAllParticleSystems option when using this multiplier, otherwise the game would be unplayable
- can _greatly_ decrease performance
- only available in "Advanced settings"
- UpgradeAllParticleSystems:
- upgrades all the particle systems to be affected by the multiplier
- requires quit & reload in order to be applied
The "Particle Effects" setting from the main menu does not have any effect with this mod enabled.
Install & use Install: BepInEx plugin
- The archive from playbuff is the mod itself — usually a BepInEx plugin (a .dll or a plugin folder once unzipped).
- Recommended: use a community mod manager (such as r2modman) — pick this game, import the mod, and the manager sets up BepInEx and its dependencies for you.
- Manual route: install the BepInEx loader in the game folder, then drop the unzipped .dll or plugin folder into BepInEx/plugins/.
- Launch the game — the BepInEx console logs every plugin it loads; seeing this mod in the log means it is installed.
Mods with listed dependencies need those installed too, or they will not load. Options are usually changed in-game or in the plugin's config file.
Dependencies
Install these first, or the mod will not work:
