Cart FM 📻🛒
Every cart in R.E.P.O. gets its own little radio station.
- 🎶 Nine original songs: chill lofi, 80s synthwave, happy chiptune and even synth disco, most of them over two minutes long.
- 🤖 A voiced robot DJ between songs, with 60+ jokes, fake ads and comedy routines in a squeaky, slightly robotic voice.
- 🎙️ W-A-S-T-E FM, a four-episode comedy show: DJ R3-P0 vs. the Mega-Scrap repo bots, the Horse Snatcher and the Shopkeeper. With a repo-bot voice and lots of sound effects.
- 🔀 Shuffled every time: songs and DJ bits come in a new random order each game.
- 🔊 The music comes from the cart: louder when you're close, fading out at a distance.
- 👾 Monsters can't hear it. It's played straight to your speakers and never goes through the game's noise system.
- 🌐 Host-synced. When the host has Cart FM, everyone else with the mod hears the same song or joke at the same moment. Late joiners tune in mid-song. If the host doesn't have it, your radio just runs on its own.
Players without the mod don't hear anything, and nothing breaks for them.

Add your own songs
Put .mp3, .ogg or .wav files in the mod's music folder. They join the shuffle. For synced play, everyone needs the same song files: if a player is missing the host's song, their radio stays quiet until the next one.
Write your own jokes and episodes
Open jokes.txt in the mod's folder. Instructions are at the top:
- Each joke or bit is a group of lines, with a blank line between bits.
(pause)or(pause 3)on its own line adds a pause, great before a punchline.(sfx airhorn)plays a sound effect from thesfxfolder.- Start a line with
BOT:for the repo-bot voice,PANIC:for a squeaky panicked voice, orDJ:for the normal DJ. (episode 1),(episode 2)... mark story episodes (they play in order only if EpisodesInOrder is on).(songs 3)means 3 songs play before the DJ talks again.
The built-in lines come with recorded voices (in the voice folder). Lines you add yourself are read by the game's own robot voice, which reads words, not digits, so write numbers out ("ninety percent").
Only the host's jokes matter in multiplayer: the host's DJ lines are sent to everyone.
