Room Hub
Rebuilt for PEAK 3.x: a first-party-styled panel with room history, player search, Steam invites, and a live friends rail that shows which biome a friend is in. Gamepad ready. EN/ZH.
Room Hub for PEAK
Every room you have been in, every player you have met, and which of your Steam friends are climbing right now, in one panel that looks like PEAK built it.
Rebuilt from scratch for PEAK 3.0.1. Crash-safe, zero-config, EN / 简体中文 / 繁體中文, gamepad-ready.

What is new in 3.0.0
- A real panel. The old wall of text rows is gone. Room Hub now uses PEAK's own UI palette, button anatomy and typography, laid out as a full-screen menu: header, tabs, list, footer hints, and a permanently visible Steam friends rail on the right.
- Friends by biome. PEAK publishes 13 rich-presence states; the friends rail reads them, so a friend shows "In game · Alpine" instead of a vague "In game".
- Gamepad support. Open the panel and something is already selected. D-pad moves between rows and footer actions, A activates, B backs out.
- Built for PEAK 3.x. Rebuilt against the 3.0.1 assembly, including its refactored networking layer.
- Your history is now hard to lose. A locked or unreadable history file can no longer be overwritten with an empty one, and every shrinking write keeps a
.bakcopy first.
Features
Room history
- Every lobby you join is saved locally, so a crash or a disconnect never costs you the room.
- Rooms you host are saved too, always: invite a stranger, then add them as a friend from the room's player list afterwards.
- Up to 10 recent rooms (configurable), pruned by age (default 7 days).
- The room host is frozen to the creator; Steam ownership transfers never move the badge.
- Join, inspect who was there, or delete a room from the panel.
Player search
- Search everyone you have ever met by display name.
- Each hit shows when you met them and which room it was.
- Invite them into your lobby or send a Steam friend request from the row.
Steam invites
- PEAK has no invite button of its own, and Steam's lobby invite works for people who are not your friends and do not have this mod.
- The button flips to a grey Invited state and stays that way for the session.
Friends rail
| State | Meaning | Action |
|---|---|---|
| In game · biome | joinable lobby exposed | Join |
| In main menu | in PEAK, not in a room | Invite into your lobby |
| At the airport | waiting between runs | none |
| Invite only | private room, Steam hides the lobby | none |
| Single player | offline-mode session | none |
| Status unknown | their game published nothing we can read | none |
Join feedback
PEAK fails joins silently. Room Hub tells you when a room is full, gone, or not joinable, and stops offering the Join button for a room that just failed.

FAQ
A friend shows "Invite only"; why can I not join? Their room is private. Steam does not expose private lobbies to non-members, so a direct join is impossible; they have to invite you. Room Hub shows the same state Steam's own Join Game button would.
A friend shows "Status unknown". Steam only pushes a friend's rich presence when it changes. If they set it before you launched the game and never re-published, there is nothing to read yet. The row updates the moment they change state.
Where is my history stored?
BepInEx/config/RoomHub/history.tsv. Plain text; back it up or edit it while the game is closed.
Language switching does not apply instantly? It does. Room Hub listens to PEAK's own language-change event and refreshes the panel without a restart.
