Weight-Based
Beam
Classification
Beam colour now communicates object weight class, making it clear how heavy objects are.
LIGHT OBJECT
MEDIUM OBJECT
HEAVY OBJECT
Impact-Speed Beam Feedback
Beam intensity scales with force, making it easy to tell if your moving your object quick enough to deal stun / damage.
Features
- Changes grab beam colors based on the mass of the object being held.
- Increases brightness, saturation, and transparency based on the impact force of the object.
- Special color effects when grabbing players or entering rotation mode.
- Works in multiplayer: beam colors update properly for both the local player and other players.
- Efficiently optimized for minimal CPU and GPU overhead (uses smart caching and batching).
Installation
- Install BepInEx for REPO if you haven't already.
- Download the latest release.zip from this repository.
- Extract the.dll file into your BepInEx/plugins/ folder.
- Launch REPO.
- Beam recoloring will be automatically enabled.
Configuration
The mod generates a config file at:
REPO\BepInEx\config
You can customize:
- Weight thresholds (light vs heavy objects)
- Beam base colors (for light, medium, heavy weights)
- Force scaling factors (how much impact strength affects beam appearance)
- Enable or disable debug logging
How It Works
- Mass Detection: Objects with a Rigidbody are categorized as light, medium, or heavy based on mass.
- Impact Force Detection: Objects with fragility and break force attributes modify beam brightness, saturation, and transparency dynamically.
- Player Handling: Grabbing a player uses a dedicated color.
- Rotation Handling: Rotating an object shifts beam colors temporarily.

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:
