How do you increase server size in Lethal Company?

Unfortunately, there's currently no way to get more than four players in a lobby in Lethal Company's current version. However, using the BiggerLobby mod developed by bizzlemip, you'll be able to increase the lobby size up to 20 players.

To install the mod, you'll have to do the following things:

  • Download the BiggerLobby mod, LC API, and BepInEx, all from the Thunderstore.io webpage. The latter two are necessary for BiggerLobby to work.
  • Unzip your downloads, and move these files to the folder where you installed Lethal Company on your PC. (...>Steam>steamapps>common>Lethal Company)
  • Once you've moved the extracted folders to the Lethal Company Game folder, move the "Plugins" and "Bundles" sub-folders from the BiggerLobby folder to the BepInEx folder.
  • Then, navigate to "LC API>BepInEx>Plugins" within your Lethal Company folder, and move the "LC API.dll" file into the main BepInEx folder.
  • Launch Lethal Company and host a lobby as usual. You'll now be able to exceed the previous cap of four players in a lobby.

If you're having trouble getting the BiggerLobby mod to work, the best place to head is the Lethal Company Modding discord. Here, you'll be able to troubleshoot any issues you encounter within the "#installation-help" channel. You'll also be notified of any updates to the BiggerLobby mod, to make sure you always have the latest version of the mod.
