Smushi Come HomeArchipelago randomizer mod

Compatibility notes

• Use client 1.0.8 with APWorld 1.0.9. Their version numbers intentionally differ; the current changelog pairs them, while the world's older ModVersion slot field still reads 1.0.7.
• The documented manual route uses BepInEx 5.4.23.4: install the loader into the game folder, launch once, close the game, then put the mod folder into BepInEx/plugins. The mod package itself declares no automatic loader dependency.
• Press Start at the main menu to open the connection screen, then enter the server, port, exact slot name and optional password. The mod connects directly; a separate Smushi client application is not required.
• The mod redirects saves into ArchipelagoSaves beside the game executable, with a file based on seed and slot. Back up that directory before updates or reinstalling the game; do not assume Steam Cloud includes it.
• A June 2026 player report describes a crash after the Home ending, although Archipelago recognizes the goal. The same report describes receiving the first rusty hook without its item. No maintainer resolution is visible; these remain reported limitations, not independently reproduced findings.
• The Sacred Orb staying local is documented behavior, not an omitted randomization fix. Ordinary crystals are not a separate crystalsanity check category in this release.
• Standard logic is the conservative starting point. Earlier releases corrected several quest checks, traversal rules and offline item-queue problems; this review does not certify every Advanced route or interrupted connection.
• Only the documented Windows integration route is listed. The Steam game's native macOS support does not establish that this loader and client work there, and no Linux or Proton integration test is claimed.
