About this mod Author’s original text
🧙♂️ Useful Gnomes
This mod turns those pesky gnomes in R.E.P.O. into something a little more... chill.
Instead of charging at you with rage and questionable life goals, they now just... vibe. They still roam, they still move — but they won't attack. They're basically just little guys on a journey. Aren't we all?
❓ What It Does
- Disables gnome combat states — no more gnome aggro!
- Gnomes still wander around like normal, just without the murder.
- Logs when each gnome spawns, so you can track your tiny new friends.
- No visual changes yet... but maybe they’ll get a makeover soon.;)
⚙️ Installation
- Use Mod Manager
– or –
- Manually drop the.dll into your BepInEx plugins/ folder.
🔮 Future Plans
- v2: Reintroduce hostile gnomes alongside friendly ones (with color-coded models).
- v3: Friendly gnomes will lead you to nearby loot. Yes, seriously.

Inspired by a conversation that got wildly out of hand.
Keep your gnomes useful, not hostile.
Thanks for playing.
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:
