CouchCrew - local couch co-op
Crashout Crew on one PC, one couch. Player 2 grabs a second controller, presses Start, and hops into your warehouse with their own forklift and their own half of the screen. Drive, grab, boost, drift, run tools and stations, all fully independent from player 1.

Setup (read this first)
- Connect BOTH controllers before launching the game. A controller plugged in after the game is already running can take 1-2 minutes to get picked up (that's Windows, not the mod), so save yourself the wait.
- Controller order matters: the first controller is player 1, the second is player 2.
How player 2 joins
- Start a run like normal (solo is fine).
- Player 2 can join any time during a run: in the break room, during the hazard pick, or in the middle of a shift. The only places joining doesn't work are the main menu and the lobby.
- Press Start on the second controller. That's it. Player 2's forklift spawns and the screen splits: player 1 on the left, player 2 on the right.
The player 2 menu
After joining, pressing Start on controller 2 opens player 2's own menu (it won't pause the game or bother player 1). Move with the d-pad or left stick, A to select, Start to close.
- Resume: close the menu.
- Change Color: cycle player 2's forklift color. Keep pressing A until you find one you like. Player 1's color is never touched.
- Brake/Reverse, Drift, Boost, Grab/Throw, Lift/Lower, Use Tool, Beep, Place Station: pick one and press any button on controller 2 to rebind it (Start cancels). Bindings are saved.
- Leave Game: player 2 despawns and the screen goes back to fullscreen. Press Start to rejoin any time.
Player 2 default controls
- Left stick: drive
- A: boost
- B: brake / reverse
- Left trigger: drift
- Grab/Throw and Lift/Lower: same buttons as the game's normal controller bindings
- RB: use held tool (blower, extinguisher, vacuum, scrubber)
- Y: beep
- D-pad down: place / pick up stations, d-pad left/right: rotate a held station
Config
Settings live in BepInEx/config/com.hunter.couchcrew.cfg after the first launch:
SplitStacked: false = side by side (default), true = player 1 on top, player 2 on bottom.- The
P2...Button entries are the rebinds (easier to change from the in-game menu).
[Credit] ShowTwitchCredit: the small CouchCrew logo in the corner (menu and break room only, hidden during shifts). Set to false to hide it.
Notes
- Everything runs on the one PC, so only this machine needs the mod.
- Two players supported. Player 2's color choice lasts for the session and never overwrites player 1's saved color.
- Player 2 doesn't get the little context hints on some UI, it's cosmetic and everything still works.
- Built for game version 1.1.9-6087, BepInEx 5.4.x.
Changelog
- 1.0.0: First release. Press Start to join from anywhere in a run, full splitscreen, fully independent player 2 controls with in-game rebinding, player 2 menu (color, rebinds, leave), per-player UI and crashout meters, and a pile of polish.
