Playing with friends
Most PEAK mods on Thunderstore carry one of three tags. Host Only mods run on the host’s machine alone, like PEAK Unlimited, which opens the lobby past four players. All Clients mods, like new hats, have to be on every player’s machine. Client Side mods are yours alone.
Give each crew its own profile with that crew’s mods, and switch before you join.
When PEAK updates
The Citadel and Gloom biomes were PEAK’s final major update. The developers still ship bug fixes, and any patch can break a mod until its author updates it. Steam keeps no older version of PEAK to roll back to.
After a patch, choose Update all to pick up the fixed versions. If a mod is still broken, choose Play without mods until it catches up.
