Last year, Content Warning faced similar issues, to the point that the devs <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/content-warning\/news\/virality-other-content-warning-multiplayer-mods-shut-down-by-devs-at-least-for-now\">had to shut down mods<\/a> that increased the lobby size.<\/p>\n<p>Hopefully, modders take semiwork&#8217;s request to heart so they aren&#8217;t forced to disable certain mods on REPO. It&#8217;s a small indie dev team, so even though REPO <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/horror\/after-repo-kinda-blew-up-its-developer-asks-the-community-for-advice-on-how-to-make-matchmaking-lobbies\/\">has been a breakout success<\/a>, semiwork&#8217;s budget and resources are still limited.<\/p>\n<p>Having played REPO with an increased lobby size mod, I have to admit it was a bit overwhelming. When you bring more people into your extraction team, it gets harder to keep tabs on where everyone is, who&#8217;s dead, and who&#8217;s missing. Voice chat gets pretty crowded, too, especially on the truck or in the shop.<\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t get me wrong, though, I love REPO mods. There are <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/horror\/best-repo-mods\/\" target=\"_blank\">plenty of great mods<\/a> you can play around with that won&#8217;t put as much pressure on semiwork&#8217;s servers as increased lobby size mods.<\/p>\n<p>For example, one of the goofiest I&#8217;ve found is <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/thunderstore.io\/c\/repo\/p\/RESET\/MoreHeadPlus\/\">MoreHeadPlus<\/a>, which includes a truly absurd number of cosmetics to add to your robot.<\/p>\n<p>If you add enough costume pieces, you end up looking more terrifying than most of the monsters in REPO, but at least you can live out your dreams of making your robot look like Princess Peach crossed with one of the Ninja Turtles.<\/p>\n<div class=\"product\"><a data-dimension112=\"9be3a3d2-bfd7-4f12-8ea1-5bd1aa86cce8\" data-action=\"Deal Block\" data-label=\"2025 games\" data-dimension48=\"2025 games\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure \" >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:400px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:100.00%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"Vji3V6i3HDWUHeQ22PrjFL\" name=\"New Project (8).jpg\" caption=\"\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/repo-devs-gently-ask-modders-to-optimize-the-amount-of-server-traffic-they-send-to-avoid-skyrocketing-server-costs.jpg\" mos=\"\" align=\"middle\" fullscreen=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" credit=\"\" class=\"\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/new-games-2025-upcoming-pc-release-schedule\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-dimension112=\"9be3a3d2-bfd7-4f12-8ea1-5bd1aa86cce8\" data-action=\"Deal Block\" data-label=\"2025 games\" data-dimension48=\"2025 games\" data-dimension25=\"\"><strong>2025 games<\/strong><\/a>: This year&#8217;s upcoming releases<strong><br \/><\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/the-best-pc-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best PC games<\/strong><\/a>: Our all-time favorites<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/the-50-best-free-pc-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Free PC games<\/strong><\/a>: Freebie fest<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/best-fps-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best FPS games<\/strong><\/a>: Finest gunplay<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/best-rpgs-of-all-time\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best RPGs<\/strong><\/a>: Grand adventures<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/the-best-co-op-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best co-op games<\/strong><\/a>: Better together <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/survival-crafting\/we-encourage-mods-repo-devs-love-mods-but-theyre-begging-creators-to-please-optimize-to-keep-server-costs-under-control\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>REPO&#8217;s dev team loves its players and modders, but it&#8217;s kindly asking everyone to optimize their mods so they don&#8217;t fry the servers.
