Source catalog Release 2.1.0World 2.1.0

The 2.1.0 APWorld defines 288 addressable checks across the base game and Basto. Its source defaults activate 151: 65 quests, 54 compendium entries and 32 equipment locations. Basto adds 81 possible checks; base-game cassette checks (19) and achievements (37) are optional. Cassette locations are available in this code even though their option description retains an obsolete beta note. This is a static source count, not a generated seed or runtime test. The APWorld package itself contains the Python files reviewed; the linked, commit-pinned source archive is for the companion C# client.

Playing with others

A single-player photographic adventure per Archipelago slot. Players exchange items across the room and can resume at different times; this is not a shared-world co-op mod.

Known scope and limitations

  • Use the matching 2.1.x client and APWorld. Version 2.1.0 requires Archipelago 0.6.7 for generation; the client rejects a world from a different major/minor version even if its patch number differs.
  • The documented mod installation targets Windows x64 with BepInEx 6 IL2CPP, specifically tested against bleeding-edge build 738. BepInEx 5 or a Mono build is not a substitute. The base game's native Linux/macOS availability does not establish mod compatibility there.
  • Install BepInEx beside TOEM.exe and launch once to initialize it, then place the mod's plugins payload under BepInEx/plugins. Install toem.apworld in Archipelago separately before generating a room.
  • Connect through the title-screen panel before starting. For a new slot, follow the New Adventure prompt and reset in-game achievements if their checks are enabled. Back up your ordinary save first; the documented process replaces the existing adventure.
  • Keep the game connected while playing and resume the same campaign. The client has check synchronization, but the reviewed code does not establish a library of isolated per-slot saves or guaranteed offline campaign support. Do not switch a running adventure to another slot.
  • Connection details, including a supplied room password, are remembered in the local BepInEx configuration. Treat that file as private and remove credentials before sharing diagnostics or backups.
  • The old cassette option description still mentions a disabled entrance-randomizer beta. The current world includes cassette locations and the 2.0 release notes explicitly restore them; use current packages rather than those obsolete instructions.
  • Earlier releases fixed impossible Basto entrance layouts, deferred transitions, stamp requirements shared between slots and connection failures. Default unshuffled entrances are the simpler first-run choice. No DeathLink or native co-op is provided by the reviewed options, and Panludia has not independently completed a campaign.
