Navigating the game with proximity chat can be tricky, especially when trying to keep tabs on both your teammates and the lurking monsters. This mod enhances your map by showing the exact locations of your teammates and indicating monster spawn areas. Each monster is represented by a distinct shape, and as in many games, red means danger—steer clear to avoid trouble.
More Shop Items

The randomness of item spawns at the Service Station can be a source of frustration, especially when you're hunting for that specific weapon or upgrade. This mod increases the variety and quantity of items available, boosting your chances of finding what you need and offering a broader range of options and prices.
More Stamina

Stamina can be a lifesaver in R.E.P.O., particularly when facing down a Trudge or a group of Bangers. This mod doesn't increase your stamina pool but slows its consumption rate, allowing you to outrun your foes for a bit longer, which can be crucial in tight situations.
Show Enemy Damage

With 19 unique monsters in R.E.P.O., remembering their individual HP levels can be a challenge. This mod displays the remaining health of a monster during combat, making it easier to decide whether to stand and fight or retreat. The damage is shown through a red bar that depletes or a numerical countdown, providing clear feedback on your attacks.
Team Upgrades

Progressing through R.E.P.O. requires money for weapons and upgrades, which become increasingly costly. This mod allows any upgrades purchased by one player to be shared across the entire team, regardless of who activates them. This feature can save you a significant amount of money, making it easier to advance through the game.
Valuable Shrinking

Transporting high-value items like pianos or large computer units can be risky, especially without an Indestructible Drone. This mod enables you to shrink these items to fit inside a cart, ensuring safe transport across the map. Just place one part of the item in the cart, and let the mod handle the rest.
Character Customization

While choosing a color at the start of the game is fun, customizing your R.E.P.O. robot from head to toe can be even more exciting. This mod offers extensive options for dressing up your character, including themes inspired by other games like Pokémon and Mario, allowing you to express your personal style.
Improved Truck Healing
