BrotatoArchipelago randomizer mod

Playing with others

Solo or native co-op can participate in the multiworld. Co-op has no run-saving support, and wave skipping is limited to progress shared by all selected characters.

Known scope and limitations

• Use the matching v0.16.0 mod ZIP and APWorld. The mod declares Brotato 1.1.15.0 and ModLoader 6.0.0. Steam and Epic setup are documented; Xbox/Game Pass is unsupported. These are declared requirements, not independently tested environments.
• Avoid Number of Progressive Wave Caps = one in this release: its encoded value reaches a division by zero in the World. Keep common and legendary crate-check counts above zero, because the client assumes each has a first group. High cap counts also need enough checks to hold the required items.
• The release is v0.16.0 and the mod reports 0.16.0, but brotato.apworld still declares world_version 0.15.0 internally. This is a metadata discrepancy, not evidence that an older download was reviewed.
• Use manual ZIP installation to keep the selected version while finishing a multiworld; Workshop subscriptions may update it automatically. Follow the documented placement and leave the ZIP compressed.
• Pause play after a connection loss and reconnect deliberately. The main client state can remain connected after the socket closes; checks and final status have no durable retry queue. Confirm important progress on the server after an interruption.
• Received-item batches are not deduplicated by their protocol index. Interrupted delivery, replayed batches and asynchronous one-time gold/XP bookkeeping can produce inconsistent effects; no frequency of failure was measured.
• AP run saves depend on server storage and are not locally isolated by a checked seed/slot identity. Co-op runs are not saved through this path. Keep independent backups and avoid changing rooms while retaining an active run.
• The connection password is saved in mod configuration, and the client can fall back from secure to unencrypted WebSocket. Do not reuse a sensitive password; keep configuration files private.
• All 139 mod files and 35 of 36 World files match the tagged source; the remaining manifest has generated compatibility fields. The source MIT licence is absent from the release ZIPs, and complete notices/permissions for adapted game routines and artwork are not established by the reviewed package.
