Blast Buddy

Blast Buddy is a lighthearted PEAK multiplayer mod built around the game's vanilla Fart mushroom blast.

What the mod does

• Adds a full mod on/off switch for quick troubleshooting or temporary disablement.
• Stays inactive in the lobby and only starts working after a configurable delay once gameplay begins. The default is 30 seconds.
• Uses hysteresis for distance checks: players enter at the configured entry radius and are only considered out after crossing the larger exit radius.
• Replicates the vanilla fart blast style while excluding the source player, so the player who farts does not launch themselves.
• Lets the host drive room-wide syncing so nearby unmodded clients can still be affected.
• Lets non-host players keep working through local fallback behavior in rooms without a matching synced path.
• Uses one shared trigger cooldown instead of separate host and client cooldown settings.
• Tunes the default values for busy multiplayer rooms so the effect still feels obvious without turning every encounter into constant chain blasts.
• Supports rescue protection and narrow-space protection to avoid low-quality triggers during sensitive moments.
• Exposes the main gameplay values through configuration and ModConfig-friendly metadata.
• Adapts labels and descriptions for both English and Simplified Chinese based on the in-game language.

Main configurable options

• Enable Mod: master switch for the entire feature.
• Activation Delay (Seconds): how long to wait after gameplay begins before the system can trigger.
• Enter Radius (Meters): distance required to count as entering the trigger zone.
• Exit Radius (Meters): distance required to fully leave the zone after already entering it.
• Blast Radius (Meters): how far the vanilla-style fart blast can affect nearby teammates.
• Trigger Cooldown (Seconds): one shared cooldown for both synced host behavior and local fallback behavior.
• Proximity Scan Interval (Seconds): scan frequency for nearby-player checks.
• Safety Check Interval (Seconds): scan frequency for rescue and terrain safety checks.
• Fart Force: upward launch strength applied to nearby teammates.
• Trigger Chance: one shared trigger probability from 0 to 1 for both synced host behavior and local fallback behavior.
• Narrow Space Check Radius (Meters): radius used to detect cramped spaces.
• Narrow Space Collider Threshold: collider count required to classify an area as cramped.
• Rescue Safety Protection: pauses the effect near downed teammates or while reviving.
