Back To The Vents

Back To The Vents makes Lethal Company feel fairer by preventing enemies from appearing directly beside living players and causing unavoidable deaths without warning.

When an enemy is scheduled to spawn from a facility vent, the spawn is delayed while any living player is within 10 meters of that vent. The normal spawn resumes after all living players move away, preserving the intended enemy spawn while giving players a fair chance to react.

The mod applies to the shared facility vent spawning system across moons and interiors. It affects living players only; dead players do not delay spawns.

Configuration

The safety radius is configurable in:

BepInEx/config/jakov.backtothevents.cfg

Default radius: 10 meters.

Requirements

  • Lethal Company
  • BepInExPack 5.4.2100 or newer

Installation

Install through a -compatible manager such as r2modman, or extract the package into the Lethal Company installation directory.

Install & use Install: BepInEx plugin

  1. The archive from playbuff is the mod itself — usually a BepInEx plugin (a .dll or a plugin folder once unzipped).
  2. 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.
  3. Manual route: install the BepInEx loader in the game folder, then drop the unzipped .dll or plugin folder into BepInEx/plugins/.
  4. 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:

BepInEx-BepInExPack
