Peak Stranding

Once, there was an expedition

Online update!!! Now with actual "Social Strand System"!

This PEAK mod adds Death Stranding-style asynchronous multiplayer - random items from other players appear in your world and display the names of the scouts who placed them. You can also save and load your items locally to keep them between the runs on the same map (Disabled by default).

This is a server-side mod; only the lobby host has to install it. The host saves every item deployed by any player during a run and loads random online (or latest local) structures at the start of the run. The mod does nothing on the client side, having it installed there shouldn't hurt either.

Known issues

Overloading the scene

It’s easy to flood a map with items, especially when they're clustered together - or worse, a pile of ropes, which are heavy to synchronize. If players connecting to you get kicked with Proton errors - reduce the amount of online structures, turn off loading locally saved structures or disable the mod before the map rolls to a new seed. Reconnects during gameplay and mods that raise the player limit or speed up restarts only make the problem worse.

Player's names on online structures not displaying for clients

Currently, names of players who build a structure only shown for the lobby host. Clients won't see the usernames even if they install the mod.

Inaccuracies in item replication

Some items can’t be reproduced exactly. Ropes may be arranged differently than when you left them, and the rope-shooter's anchor angle is slightly off.

Config

The config file is located at BepInEx/config/com.github.wafflecomposite.PeakStranding.cfg. You can also change the settings in-game by installing ModConfig. Most settings require restarting the run to take effect.
