• Launch the game for the first time if you have launched it yet to generate the config files.
• In Thunderstore Mod Manager, click on “Edit config” in the left toolbar.
• In the next window, click on “BepInEx/config/zelofi.MorePlayers.cfg” and then click “Edit Config.”

Run the modded version of the game and then host a lobby. You will now be able to invite as many friends as you want in a single session.
