MIMESIS - TooManyPlayers

Raise the hard 4-player session cap so you can host and play Mimesis with larger groups - you pick the maximum, the mod enforces it everywhere.
Mimesis ships with a hard limit of 4 players per session. TooManyPlayers rewrites every player-count check in the game - the network socket, room entry, session tracking, and the Steam lobby - to honor a maximum you configure, so you can run bigger lobbies.
Features
- Raises the player cap from the default 4 to any value you configure (MaxPlayers, default 8).
- One central override raises the cap everywhere at once by rewriting the single data-driven field every in-game limit check reads (waiting/maintenance rooms, room entry, session tracking).
- Forces the network transport's client limit to your value (clamped to 32766) and re-applies it whenever a socket is created.
- Raises the Steam lobby member cap from 4 to your configured maximum. (Steam still enforces its own ~250 hard limit at runtime.)
- Logs the old and new cap values on startup and warns if a player fails to be added to a session.
- Your configured value is validated and clamped to the 4-32766 range on load.
Requirements
| Component | Version |
|---|---|
| MIMESIS | 0.3.2 |
| MelonLoader | 0.7.3+ |
Installation
- Recommended: install via a mod manager (r2modman / Gale) and let it resolve dependencies.
- Manual: download TooManyPlayers.dll from GitHub Releases, drop it into MIMESIS/Mods, then launch the game once to generate the config file at UserData/MelonPreferences.cfg.
Configuration
Stored in UserData/MelonPreferences.cfg under the [TooManyPlayers] category.
| Option | Description | Default | Values/Range |
|---|---|---|---|
| MaxPlayers | Maximum number of players allowed in a session (display name "Maximum Players"). Values below 4 or above 32766 are clamped on load. | 8 | 4 - 32766 (clamped) |
Usage
There are no keybinds and no in-game UI beyond the standard MelonPreferences config.
- Install the mod and launch the game once to generate UserData/MelonPreferences.cfg.
- Set MaxPlayers under the [TooManyPlayers] category to your desired cap.
- Relaunch the game.
Host-side requirement: the cap is enforced by the host/server, so the player hosting the lobby or session must have the mod installed and configured for the larger group to take effect.
Compatibility
Built for Mimesis 0.3.2 / MelonLoader 0.7.3.

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.
