ForcedFriendship
A R.E.P.O. mod that punishes wandering off alone. If you aren't within a configurable distance of another player, you start taking damage over time — and the farther away you are, the faster the damage ticks. Stick together. Choose whether your lifeline is the nearest player or the nearest cart, and a colored tether beam shows you how safe you are at a glance.
Configuration
Config file: BepInEx/config/darkharasho.ForcedFriendship.cfg. All numeric settings are whole numbers.

The gameplay rule (Enabled, AnchorMode, SafeDistance, BandWidth, DamagePerBand,
TickInterval) is taken from the host and synced to everyone, so each client's beams match
the host-authoritative damage. Beam display prefs (Beams/*) are local to each client.
A tether is always drawn to your anchor — your nearest buddy in Buddy mode, your nearest cart
in Cart mode — and its color tells you how safe you are (green safe, yellow approaching the
edge, red taking damage). Standing in the extraction truck is a safe zone: no damage, and
the beam stays green. The mod is active during level gameplay only (not the shop or lobby), and
dead players are never damaged.
