💡 Recommended Settings for Better Performance:
- Disable Motion Blur: It is highly recommended to turn off motion blur in the game settings. Disabling this feature significantly reduces GPU load, stabilizes FPS, and eliminates visual stuttering during sharp camera turns.
- Be sure to install the game on an SSD or M.2 SSD to ensure proper game synchronization and minimize host-client desync.
⚠️ NEW PLAYERS (READ THIS FIRST):
DO NOT use Discord or any other third-party voice programs. Use exclusively the in-game proximity voice chat, as a huge number of key gameplay mechanics rely on spatial audio.
⚠️ DO NOT UPDATE MODS MANUALLY! Only update them when the modpack itself receives an official update, otherwise you will have to reinstall everything from scratch.
🖥️ HOST REQUIREMENTS:
The lobby host should have the most powerful PC and stable internet connection for smooth gameplay.
⚡ CRITICAL WARNING:
Adding manual mods on top of this balanced pack may break compatibility. Do so at your own risk.
⚠️ UNFIXABLE NUANCES:
Unfortunately, within the current version of the game and engine limitations, not everything can be fixed. Here is a list of minor nuances you will have to accept:
- Lag on Crypt moon: When exiting the ship, especially for the host, the game may lag severely. Unfortunately, this minor issue cannot be fixed in any way.
- Camera glitches (shaking): The camera mod sometimes malfunctions and bugs out camera swaying after the ship lands on a planet, especially a custom modded one, causing your screen to constantly shake just a tiny bit. This is barely noticeable and happens quite rarely. It can be fixed either by jumping or by entering the terminal.
- Issues with a 5th player: The modpack is strictly optimized for a 4-player crew. If a 5th player joins you, certain mods and mechanics will break. For example: the apparatus (reactor) completely refuses to be picked up into hands when there are 5 of you, but this is only on the client side—everything is perfectly fine for the host. It is unknown what other problems might pop up when a 5th player joins. Play with 5 players at your own risk.
- Loud sound upon loading: When loading into old save files, especially after long expeditions, there might be a very loud and unpleasant noise during entry. Do not panic—your ears might suffer, but your save files will be completely fine.
🚨 ATTENTION:
- The very first launch might take a long time. The BepInEx console may appear frozen while loading mods or throw path errors—this is completely normal. If the console actually freezes, feel free to restart the game.
- You might encounter issues when using the in-game button to invite friends. I highly recommend inviting teammates directly through Steam.
- Clicking the Quit Game button often causes a crash. Do not panic—these crashes are completely harmless. Alternatively, you can just close the black BepInEx console window to instantly shut down the game.
- Various errors might scroll through the console during startup or lobby creation. They are harmless—you can safely ignore them.

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.
Install these first, or the mod will not work:
