Installing the More Players Mod in R.E.P.O.
By default, *R.E.P.O.* allows up to six players in a lobby, which is quite generous. However, if you're looking to expand your squad even further, you can do so with the More Players mod.

Once these steps are completed, the More Players mod is successfully installed in your game. Now, you're ready to adjust the lobby size to suit your needs.
How to Increase Lobby Size
To increase the lobby size in *R.E.P.O.*, you need to modify the config files on your computer. Here’s how to do it:
- Open the BepInEx config folder.
- Use Notepad to open the file named
zelofi.MorePlayers.cfg. - Locate the line that reads "Maximum Players" and adjust the number to your desired lobby size.
- Save the file and then launch the game.
For example, if you want to accommodate eight players in your lobby, change the number to 8. However, be cautious when setting the number too high, as this may cause the game to crash. Adjust the size accordingly to ensure smooth gameplay.
