Navigating the game becomes smoother with the Better Map mod. When using proximity chat, knowing the exact location of your teammates and monster spawns can be crucial. This mod marks your teammates' paths and highlights danger zones, with each monster type represented by a unique shape. Remember, red always signals danger, helping you steer clear of trouble.
More Shop Items

The randomness of item spawns at the Service Station can be a source of frustration. The More Shop Items mod addresses this by increasing the variety and quantity of weapons, items, and upgrades available. This means you're more likely to find what you need without having to progress to the next level, enhancing your strategic options.
More Stamina

Stamina is a critical resource in R.E.P.O., especially when facing formidable foes like Trudges or Bangers. The More Stamina mod doesn't increase your stamina pool but reduces its consumption rate. This allows you to evade enemies for longer periods, giving you a tactical edge in survival situations.
Show Enemy Damage

With 19 different monsters, each with varying HP levels, keeping track of damage can be challenging. The Show Enemy Damage mod simplifies this by displaying a monster's remaining health after you attack. This visual feedback, shown as a red bar or numerical countdown, helps you decide whether to continue fighting or retreat.
Team Upgrades

Progressing in R.E.P.O. requires financial investment in upgrades to boost health, stamina, and strength. These upgrades become increasingly expensive as you advance. The Team Upgrades mod allows any purchased upgrades to be shared among all team members, significantly reducing costs and enhancing team synergy.
Valuable Shrinking

Transporting high-value items like pianos or large computer units can be risky without an Indestructible Drone. The Valuable Shrinking mod solves this by allowing these items to be shrunk to fit inside a cart, ensuring safe transport to the extraction point with minimal risk.
Character Customization

Personalizing your R.E.P.O. robot adds a fun layer to the game. The Character Customization mod lets you dress up your character from head to toe, with options inspired by other games like Pokémon and Mario, allowing for a unique and personalized gaming experience.
Improved Truck Healing

Returning to the truck after a successful run is a moment of relief, and the Improved Truck Healing mod enhances this by increasing the healing you receive upon arrival. With up to 50 HP restored, you might not need to purchase health kits at the Service Station as frequently.
More Of Everything
