Installation
Place this mod folder in your plugins directory:
Risk of Rain Returns/ReturnOfModding/plugins/Doga-Tachyon/
Multiplayer
The mod uses the game's native artifact synchronization. All players will use the same Tachyon artifact when selected by the host. Difficulty scaling and player scaling settings are not synced, nor is custom rate - fiddle at your own risk.
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. If the mod depends on a loader such as ReturnOfModding, install it first as the readme describes.
