Guide written by me, refined by Google Gemini (sorry for the slop)

This mod allows you to save your exact position, inventory, and backpack contents for you and your friends. When used with MorePeak, you can resume your climb on the same map at any time.

Step 1: Install Required Dependencies

Before installing this Save mod, ensure you have the following mods installed:

BepInExPack for PEAK (The base loader for all mods). https://thunderstore.io/c/peak/p/BepInEx/BepInExPack_PEAK/

MorePeak (Required to keep the map from changing/resetting between sessions). https://thunderstore.io/c/peak/p/smckeen/MorePeak/

To set the same map for every game, edit the "com.smckeen.morepeak.cfg" with notepad. This config file should be in [YOURDRIVE]SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\PEAK\BepInEx\config.

The config file explains what to do, in this example the level is set to Level_4.

From the MorePeak config file:

"Set to 'Daily' for the daily map, 'Random' for random levels, specify exact level name (e.g., 'Level_0'), or specify multiple levels separated by commas for random selection from that list (e.g., 'Level_0, Level_1, Level_2')

Setting type: String

Default value: Random

SelectedLevel = Level_4"

Step 2: Install PEAK Save

• Download the DLL plugin.
• Locate your Plugins folder: Usually found at: \SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\PEAK\BepInEx\plugins
• Place the DLL: Move the downloaded file into that plugins folder.

How to Use

• Load into the Map: Load into the world from the Airport Lobby.
• Open the Menu: Press ESC (to unlock your mouse) and then press F10.
• Saving: Enter a name for your session and click Save State. The mod will automatically add the date and time to the filename.
• Loading: Open the menu (ESC and then F10) and click the Load button next to your desired save file.
• Deleting: Click the Red X next to a save file to remove it permanently.

Important Best Practices

• Host Only: Only the lobby host needs to have this mod installed for it to function for the whole group.
• Campfires: To load a save in a later biome, you must first activate the preceding campfires in your current session. The game resets all objects every time you start fresh, so you need to "bridge" the load by making a save at each campfire in order.
  • For example, to load into the Mesa, you must first activate the campfires at the top of the Beach and the Roots. If you try to jump directly to a later biome without triggering the previous fires, the terrain won't load and you will fall through the map.
• Backpack Safety: After loading a save, wait 2–3 seconds before taking off your backpack. Pulling it out too quickly can cause the synchronized items to disappear.
• Item Duplication: Be aware that loading a save multiple times within the same session can drop duplicate items into the world. To avoid "cheesing" your run, only load when necessary.
• Map Consistency: Ensure you are on the same map version as the save file, otherwise, you may load into empty space or inside a mountain. (use the MorePeak mod to keep the same map)
