The REPO study is clear: they want you to add mods to their game

The development team of the video game REPO has issued a call to mod creators to optimize the amount of traffic they generate on the game’s servers. In a recent Q&A video, the semiwork developers expressed their appreciation for the creativity of the modding community but emphasized the importance of avoiding excessive operational cost increases. “We encourage mods. It’s very fun to see how players add their own personality to our game,” they commented, insisting on the need to control the traffic that these generate.

This notice arises especially in the context of mods that increase the player limit beyond the maximum of six, which has caused problems in other games. In the past, similar initiatives led to the shutdown of certain mods, as they increased the demand on the servers. Developers are aware that adding more players can be overwhelming, complicating communication and game dynamics, which can affect the overall experience.

Mods yes, but with responsibility

Despite these warnings, the semiwork team supports the creation of mods that do not compromise server performance. There are examples of mods that enrich the gaming experience without overloading resources, such as the MoreHeadPlus mod, which introduces a wide range of cosmetics for robots, allowing players to experiment with fun and creative looks.

With this approach, developers hope to balance the creativity of the modding community and the stability of REPO servers. Although the game has been a resounding success, the semiwork team remains a small indie studio with limited resources. The hope is that modders take this request seriously to maintain a fun and sustainable gaming experience in the future.
