Notes and Safety Measures
Late-join is only enabled when on the surface, to avoid other players getting put directly in the underworld mid-game. If you want to fill the lobby back up, return to the surface first.
When using the late-join feature (pressing FILL LOBBY while the game has started), BetterLobby will wait for the lobby to reach its maximum capacity, and then disable the late-join.
I implemented this because I suspect that leaving the lobby open would disrupt matchmaking even more, as players would attempt to connect to our full game. (this happens with Virality)
Simply put, if the game has started, you opened the lobby, all players joined and then someone left, just press FILL LOBBY again and it will fill back.
Furthermore, if the lobby you are trying to make public is already full, the operation will be ignored.
