About

How to Use the Mod

All of the functions of the mod can be found in BONEMENU under the tab "BONELAB Fusion". In order to make and join servers, use the Matchmaking tab. Starting or disconnecting from a server can be found in the "Server Info" tab.

Physical Interactions

Instead of players and synced props being kinematic, non-physics objects, all interactions are solved using physical forces.
This means you can pick up your friends, throw them, stand on them, push them, and more.

Campaign Support

The entire campaign has been ensured completable, with nearly every custom event synced, as well as optimizations made to make the experience run as smoothly as possible.

Supported Platforms

• SteamVR
• Oculus PCVR
• Oculus Quest

Crossplay Support

All platforms are able to crossplay together. In order to do so, you simply have to select the same "Networking Layer" in BONEMENU and restart the game. The option is under BONELAB Fusion -> Network Layer Manager -> Target Layer. Note that some layers may be unsupported on some platforms.

Additional Content

Modules, Gamemodes, and the Bitmart

Fusion has integrated support to allow other mods to implement Fusion compatibility using "Modules". There is an SDK for Unity, allowing you to implement features while in multiplayer, as well as a code SDK in order to create unique synced features. You can find both of these here.

Besides that, Fusion also has integrated gamemodes. The current gamemodes are:

• Deathmatch, Free-for-all fighting!
• Team Deathmatch, Kill as many players on the opposite team!
• Entangled, Be constrained to a randomized partner!

Custom maps can implement these gamemodes, and customize them specifically for their map.

Finally, Fusion has built in cosmetics. Winning gamemodes will earn you Bits to use at the Bitmart. Here, you are able to equip/unequip as well as purchase items such as cosmetics. Other players will be able to see these cosmetics, and you can mix and match as you choose.

Achievements

As an additional way to earn Bits, you can accomplish various tasks to complete Achievements. There are a large amount of Achievements, each with differing challenge, risk, and reward. Upon completing every achievement, you may even unlock some secret items!
