OrbGather

OrbGather

Kill the teleporter boss, and every drop still lying around the stage comes to you.

They arrive in a ring around the teleporter — 15 metres out by default — so nobody has to

run a lap of the map checking which chest they forgot before the lobby can leave.

Needs PickupShareApi, which is a library. ItemShare is optional — this works

without it, and works better with it.

What it does

• Sweeps the stage once the teleporter boss dies and relocates every uncollected drop to a

ring around the teleporter.

• A drop keeps its identity. Same item, same temp-item decay, same everything. It is the

drop you left behind, standing somewhere else.

• Drops land where you can actually walk. Placement uses the game's own navigation

graph rather than dropping things wherever a ray happens to hit, so nothing ends up on a

roof, on the far side of a wall or off the edge of the map. The ring bends around

unusable ground instead of ignoring it.

• With a loot-sharing mod installed, its progress comes with it. A drop that two of

your four players had already collected still knows that when it lands at the

teleporter. Nobody gets a second copy, and nobody loses a turn. This travels through

PickupShareApi, so any mod that registers with it is supported — ItemShare is just the

one that does today.

• Artifact of Command cubes are gathered too, keeping the exact option list they were

offering. A cube somebody currently has open is left where it is rather than yanked out

from under them.

• The Scrapper, 3D printers, Meal Prep, the Hoard, the Solus vendor and Lemurian eggs are

never touched.

Install

Host only. The logic all runs server-side and reaches other players through the game's

normal object spawning, so nobody else in the lobby needs it.

Config

com.majai.orbgather.cfg

| Setting | Default | |

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

| General.Trigger | Either | BossDefeated, TeleporterCharged or Either — whichever fires first, normally the boss dying |

| General.Delay | 3 | Seconds to wait before sweeping. Boss rewards fly out as droplets and only become real pickups when they land |

| General.GatherCommandCubes | true | Bring Artifact of Command cubes along |

| General.Announce | true | Chat line saying how many drops were moved |

| General.MaxDrops | 60 | Safety cap per sweep |

| Placement.Distance | 15 | Metres from the teleporter to the ring |

| Placement.Spacing | 3 | Minimum gap between two drops |

| Placement.RingSpacing | 4 | Extra radius per additional ring once the first fills up |

| Placement.HeightOffset | 1 | How far above the ground drops sit |

| Placement.MaxSnapDistance | 6 | How far a slot may be pulled to reach walkable ground. Raise it if drops are being skipped on open stages, lower it to keep the ring tighter |

One sweep per stage. Chests opened after it are left where they are.

Known limitations

• Nothing in Risk of Rain 2 synchronises a pickup's position after it spawns. A drop's

position reaches other players exactly once, in its spawn message, so moving one means

destroying it and spawning a replacement. That is what this mod does, and it is why the

drops visibly blink from one place to the other rather than flying across the map.

• A drop that was spawned with a non-standard visual comes back with the standard one.

There is no way to ask an existing object which prefab it came from.

• Stages with no teleporter — the Bazaar, the Moon, Void Fields, the Simulacrum arenas —

are skipped, since there is nowhere to gather to.

• A stage with no ground navigation graph is skipped as well. Without it there is no way

to tell walkable floor from scenery, and a drop somewhere unreachable is worse than one

left across the map — that one can at least still be collected.

• If the ground around the teleporter is broken up, the ring will not be a clean circle.

Slots that cannot reach walkable ground within MaxSnapDistance are given up and the

next angle is tried, so drops cluster wherever there is actually floor.

• If a mod that trac
