UpgradeQueue
Queues level-up upgrade popups so they don't interrupt play. Open them later with a hotkey.
About this mod Author’s original text
UpgradeQueue
Level-up upgrade popups no longer interrupt play. Each level-up goes into a queue, and you pick your upgrades whenever it suits you.
Choices, odds and results are the game's own: the three options are rolled with the normal draft when you open a queued upgrade.
How to use
- A counter in the corner of the HUD shows how many upgrades are waiting, e.g. Upgrades: 3 [U]. It gives a gentle sonar ping when a new level-up is queued, and keeps a steady, fainter pulse going while upgrades are waiting.
- Press U to open your queued upgrades and pick as usual. After each pick the next one opens, until the queue is empty. Queued picks have no timer.
- Press U again before picking to close the screen. That upgrade and the rest stay queued.
- With the inventory open, the counter becomes an Open upgrade button you can click.
- Queued upgrades last for the current run. They are cleared when the run ends. If you crash or disconnect in multiplayer, they come back when you rejoin the same run.
Multiplayer
Queued picks never hold up other players: your level-up counts as handled right away, and the game keeps running while you pick later. In single player the game pauses while the upgrade screen is open (configurable).
Every player who wants queueing needs the mod. Players without it get the normal popups.

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.
Install these first, or the mod will not work:
