How the game changes
- Gate keys, karma-cap increases, passage tokens, the Mark and story abilities become received items.
- Passages, echoes, pearls brought to shelters, sandbox tokens and optional food objectives provide checks.
- Choose campaign-appropriate goals such as ascension, echoes, alternate endings or the food quest.
- Downpour and Watcher content are supported by the reviewed release pair, including progressive Weaver abilities and optional encounters.
- Optional DeathLink, supplies and traps affect survival. In-game tracking and Universal Tracker expose progress and requirements.
Before you start
- Pair mod 1.6.5 with APWorld 1.6.0 and Archipelago 0.6.7 or newer. Use either Steam Workshop or manual installation, not both.
- Start a fresh campaign for a new room and back up saves. Never load its campaign with the randomizer disabled or disconnected: the guide warns of irreversible save damage.
- Linux/Steam Deck instructions specify a DLL override and Proton 8.0-5 to avoid a suspected compatibility issue. This is maintainer guidance, not a Panludia runtime certification.
- Match installed DLC to the generated options. Custom regions, Expedition runs, Rain Meadow and mods that change world connections are not supported by AP mode.
- For a conservative first run, prefer a base-game campaign. Open reports cover a Saint food-logic error and Watcher crashes in rotted rooms; these are not claimed fixed by the latest release.
- DeathLink can repeatedly interrupt long trips between shelters in large rooms. Consider leaving it off; protection mechanisms are still requested.
- The compatibility document's old Watcher exclusion is superseded by the 1.6.0 release. Documentation and release notes must be read together.
