About this mod Author’s original text
Ascent8
Adds a real Ascent 8 tier to PEAK.
Ascent8 extends the normal boarding pass with one more ascent level instead of using a custom-run preset. The new tier is always selectable, syncs as a normal ascent, and applies a fixed brutal survival ruleset.
Features
- Adds Ascent 8 to the normal boarding-pass ascent selector.
- Applies a fixed survival bundle:
- 3.0x fall damage
- 2.5x other damage
- 2.0x hunger
- +2 item weight
- 1.8x climb stamina cost
- no flares
- night cold enabled
- no reviving dead players
- Keeps vanilla ascents and custom runs unchanged.
- Blocks Ascent 8 run start when any lobby player does not have the mod.
Important
- All players in the lobby need this mod to play Ascent 8.
- The mod intentionally blocks mixed-support lobbies instead of falling back to unsafe behavior.
Install
Place Ascent8.dll in BepInEx/plugins/Ascent8.
Version
- 1.0.0: initial public release
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:
