ProfileSwitcher

Swap Mycopunk save profiles from the main menu without restarting the game.

The problem

Vanilla Mycopunk lets you pick a profile on the title screen, but the selection only takes effect after you fully quit and relaunch. That is slow and annoying when you maintain multiple saves (alters, co-op characters, challenge runs, etc.).

What this mod does

• Intercepts main-menu profile selection
• Saves the active profile to disk before switching
• Loads the selected profile (primary save, then backups, or a fresh profile if none exists)
• Rebinds gear data and finalizes the loaded save
• Hides the “restart required” prompt and refreshes relevant main-menu UI
• Leaves you on the main menu ready to host/join with the new save

Safety

• Main menu only. Swapping is blocked while you are in the hub, a mission, or joining a lobby.
• Current profile is saved before the switch.
• On failure, the mod attempts to roll back to the previous profile and shows an error popup.
• Blocked swaps show an info popup and fall back to the vanilla restart prompt.
• Does not re-register upgrades/mods (avoids duplicate upgrade definitions).

Dependencies

• Mycopunk
• BepInEx (BepInExPack_Mycopunk 5.4.2403 or compatible)
• HarmonyLib (bundled via BepInEx)

Installing

Thunderstore / r2modman (recommended)
Install ProfileSwitcher from the Mycopunk community page.

Manual
Place ProfileSwitcher.dll in <Mycopunk>/BepInEx/plugins/.

Usage

1. Launch the game to the main menu.
2. Open the profile selector as usual.
3. Pick another profile.
4. Play — no restart needed.

Building

dotnet build --configuration Release

Output: bin/Release/netstandard2.1/ProfileSwitcher.dll

Known limitations

• Not supported mid-session (hub/mission). Return to the main menu first.
• Other mods that cache PlayerData.Instance at boot may need a menu refresh or relaunch to notice the new profile ( rare).
• Steam stats remain account-wide (same as vanilla).
