What is shared

Each player with this mod sends their exact health, stamina, Eitr, food and buffs to the others a few times a second, at any distance.

Sharing/ShareMyStats switches off your own; Sharing/AllowSharing is the server's (in multiplayer its value applies to everyone), for PvP

servers that want each player to see only what the game shows of players near them.

🔍 How it works

A party panel on the right of the screen showing every player in your world.

What it shows

  • Each player's Steam picture, name, health, stamina and distance, live, at any range.
  • Each picture has a ring that is green, amber or red by how healthy that player is, and an arrow next to their distance points the way they are, relative to where you are looking. F8 hides or shows the panel (handy for screenshots). It hides itself while menus are open.

Settings: how many players, size, opacity, position, left or right edge, a Compact mode, and whether to show yourself, portraits, distance and the arrow. While you steer a ship the panel moves out of the way of the ship display.

  • With the AICompanion mod: each player's companion shows under them (health, distance, what it is doing).

General

| Setting | Default | What it does |

|---|---|---|

| Enabled | true | Show the party panel. |

| ShowPortraits | true | Show each player's Steam profile picture. Off (or no picture available) = a coloured initial. |

| ShowDistance | true | Show how far away each player is. |

| HideInMenus | true | Hide the panel while the inventory, crafting window, build menu, trader or big map is open, so it doesn't overlap them. |

| ToggleKey | F8 | Press to hide or show the panel (handy for screenshots). |

| ShowDirectionArrow | true | Next to each player's distance, an arrow pointing the way they are, relative to where you are looking. |

| ShowFood | true | Show three food slots under each player's picture: what they are eating and how long it has left. Only for players who also have this mod. |

| Scale | 1 | Size of the panel (1 = normal, 1.25 = bigger). |

| AvoidShipHud | true | While you are steering a ship, move the panel down so it does not cover the wind indicator and the rest of the ship display. |

Sharing

| Setting | Default | What it does |

Install & use Install: BepInEx plugin

  1. The archive from playbuff is the mod itself — usually a BepInEx plugin (a .dll or a plugin folder once unzipped).
  2. 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.
  3. Manual route: install the BepInEx loader in the game folder, then drop the unzipped .dll or plugin folder into BepInEx/plugins/.
  4. 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. In multiplayer, the host and every client need the same mods installed.

Dependencies

Install these first, or the mod will not work:
