Content WarningArchipelago randomizer mod

Playing with others

The game supports solo and native co-op, with a generator multiplayer option for team-dependent checks. Archipelago participants can play at the same time or return later while the room is available; remain connected during play because offline check recovery is not guaranteed.

Known scope and limitations

• Use content_warning.apworld 1.0.1 for generation and ContentWarningArchipelago 1.0.6 from Thunderstore for the game. The separate world and client have different version numbers; the client's GitHub tag only provides source archives.
• The current Thunderstore guide recommends a mod manager with BepInExPack 5.4.2100 and MyceliumNetworking 1.0.14. Run modded, connect from the main-menu Archipelago panel with your exact slot name, then host a new game. This review covers Windows, not native Linux or macOS.
• Stay connected when earning checks. The client records checks locally before its asynchronous server send, skips already-recorded checks and does not replay that local list during login. A connection interruption can therefore leave a check recorded locally but missing from the room; a HUD notification is not server confirmation.
• Keep DeathLink off if you need predictable surface behaviour. Although the option text describes delayed surface deaths, the reviewed incoming handler immediately kills a living local player without that surface guard. This discrepancy is from source inspection, not an independent runtime test.
• The maintainer reports occasional multiplayer visual desynchronization of items and UI overlays. Shared lobby synchronization does not establish that every combination of co-op slots or late joins has been tested.
• Back up game and Archipelago save data before changing seeds or reinstalling. Local progress is stored separately by sanitized player name and seed. Corrupt local data can be replaced with a fresh ledger, and item delivery is not an atomic exactly-once transaction. Keep connection configuration private.
• Follow the current Thunderstore instructions rather than the older packaged setup document, which contains stale links and option descriptions. Panludia has inspected the published files and relevant source but has not independently completed a campaign with these builds.
