Installation

To install with r2modman automatically, either click the "Install with Mod Manager" button at the top of the page on Thunderstore or search for ChunkyMode within r2modman or Gale.

To install manually, either click the "Manual Download" button at the top of the page on Thunderstore, or download the latest release from GitHub. Once downloaded, if you are using r2modman or Gale, launch r2modman or Gale and navigate to your preferred Risk of Rain 2 profile. For r2modman go to Settings > Profile > Import local mod, or for Gale on the top bar click Import > ...local mod, and then select HDeDeDe-ChunkyMode-{Version_Number}.zip (or just ChunkyMode.zip) when prompted. Confirm the settings and you should be good to go.

If you do not have r2modman or Gale, then make sure you have the required dependencies (they can be found at the top of the page on Thunderstore), navigate to your Risk of Rain 2 install folder > BepInEx > plugins and extract the following files from ChunkyMode.zip to the same subfolder: ChunkyMode.dll, chunkydifficon, ChunkyMode.language, ChunkyMode.pdb
