About this mod Author’s original text

Lethal Phones

As part of a new initiative, The Company has provided personal* phones to all employees.

Upon clocking in to your next shift, you will find that pressing 'y' will produce your 'very own'* mobile phone. You can use the state-of-the-art Rotation Dialing system to call your fellow employees for easier communication on the job.

*The provided Mobile Phones are property of The Company. Employee owns no stake in the phone they are provided.

NEW UPDATE - The Switchboard

  • NEW ship upgrade, The Switchboard!
  • Call your coworkers from the safety of the ship using The Company's patented new "Non-Rotary" dialing method!
  • Wear a headset!
  • Tired of a call? Transfer it to someone else!
  • Give your braincells a vacation from remembering multiple sets of 4 digits! The Switchboard has its own contacts list.
  • Not on the ship? Your braincells can take a break too as the switchboard always has the same number, which can be set in the config!

Features

  • Mobile Phones for all players!
  • Take out your phone with 'y' by default, all controls are customizable in the menu.
  • Hold 'z' and click and move your mouse to dial the phone. Drag a number to the stopper to dial it just like a Real Mobile Rotary Phone.
  • Customize your phone with skins, charms, and ringtones!
  • Phones do not take up an inventory slot, and do not require battery! In exchange, they are 'immersive' to use and may not be reliable under pressure.
  • Phone calls will transmit all noises around the player you are talking to! Hear the explosion a split second before the call cuts!
  • Switch your phone to vibrate if you don't want monsters to hear how popular you are! Or switch it to silent to ignore all your friends.
  • Dynamic call quality! Have fun saying lines like "Can you repeat that?" and "What???" while deep in The Facility during a storm!
  • Dynamic call quality Improvement! Use Radar Boosters from the Company Store to enhance your phone's reception!
  • Receive calls from local fauna (?!?)
  • Many config options to customize your experience

Customizations

New skins, charms, and ringtones can be added as separate plugins, which can be used locally or uploaded.

Customization Guide

PREVIOUS UPDATE - Phone Customization

  • NEW options for personalizing your phone! Pick a skin/charm/ringtone on the main menu!
  • New configuration to turn phones into a ship upgrade that needs to be purchased!
  • A single sheet of loose leaf paper on a clipboard, where you can see everyone's phone numbers if you squint!
  • Compatability with WeatherRegistry and LethalElements, to support worse phone quality in more weather!
  • Compatability with Mirage, to allow Masked to use phones and copy the customizations of the player they're mimicking.
  • Make your own customizations! There is a tutorial here!

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:
