</>What does Full Payroll (Bigger Crew) do?
R.E.P.O. lets six of you on a job. If your group is seven, someone is watching. If your group is ten, most of you are watching. Full Payroll lifts that limit and puts the whole crew on the same contract. You pick the number on a slider and the next lobby you open holds that many. The mod never asks for more than the game can actually give — it reads the real limit and stops there — so you cannot accidentally set a number that gets your lobby refused. Only the host needs it. Whoever opens the lobby decides how big the crew is, so your friends just join the way they always have, with nothing to install and nothing to configure. Set your crew size before you open the lobby, since a job already in progress keeps the size it started with. A bigger crew changes the job completely. Six people can move a heavy valuable with some shouting and a plan. Twelve people means the hallway is a traffic jam, someone is always dropping something expensive, and the extraction point looks like a riot. The chaos is the point — this is a game about fragile objects and too many hands, and Full Payroll simply gives you more hands. Switch it off at any time and the crew limit goes straight back to normal.
</>What is Full Payroll (Bigger Crew)?
Full Payroll lifts the six-player crew cap in R.E.P.O. so a bigger group can work the same contract. You choose the crew size on a slider and the next lobby you open holds that many. What makes it safe is that it never asks the game for more than it can actually deliver: it reads the real limit the game is working to and clamps every request to it, so you can't set a number that gets your lobby refused and drops everyone back to the menu. Only the host needs it installed. The person who opens the lobby decides its size, which means friends join exactly as they normally would with nothing to download and nothing to configure - a genuine advantage in a group where only one person mods their games. The timing matters: set your crew size before you open the lobby, because a job already running keeps the size it began with. Turning the mod off restores the crew limit the game shipped with immediately, so you can go back to standard six-player runs whenever you want. A bigger crew doesn't make R.E.P.O. easier so much as louder - more hands on the same fragile valuables, more traffic in the same corridors, and a far messier extraction.
</>Common questions about Full Payroll (Bigger Crew)
How many extra players can actually join?
You set the crew size yourself on a slider, and the next lobby you open holds that many. The mod reads the largest crew the game is actually able to run and stops there rather than letting you pick a number that would fail - so whatever you can select is a number that genuinely works. Most groups find somewhere around eight to twelve is the sweet spot: big enough that the corridors get properly chaotic, small enough that you can still tell who just dropped the expensive thing. Use the built-in check any time to see both your current crew size and the maximum available to you.
Does everyone need to install it, or just the host?
Only the person hosting. Whoever opens the lobby is the one who sets its size, so once you have the mod on and your crew size chosen, everybody else joins exactly the way they always have - no download, no setup, no version matching. This is the most useful thing about it in practice, because in most friend groups only one person is willing to mod their games. Just make sure the person hosting is the one with it enabled. If somebody else opens the lobby instead, you'll be back to the standard six-player crew.
When do I need to set the crew size?
Before you open the lobby. The size is fixed at the moment the lobby is created, so a job already in progress keeps the number it started with - moving the slider halfway through a run won't pull extra people into a shift that's already going. The habit is simple: turn the mod on, set your number, then host. If you're ever unsure whether it took, press the check built into the mod and it will tell you the crew size the game is currently set to, so you can confirm before your friends start trying to join.
Can it break my lobby or get me disconnected?
No, and that's deliberate. There is a real limit to how large a crew the game can run, and asking for more than that is exactly the kind of thing that gets a lobby refused and sends everyone back to the menu. Rather than letting that happen, the mod reads the actual limit and clamps whatever you pick to it, so a request that would fail is never sent in the first place. It also never tries to push that limit higher than the game intends. The result is that you get a bigger crew without any of the risk that usually comes with it.
Does a bigger crew make the game easier?
Not really - it makes it louder. More hands means heavy valuables move faster and there are more people to revive you, so some things genuinely get easier. But R.E.P.O. is a game about fragile objects in tight corridors, and doubling the number of people carrying them roughly doubles the number of ways a run falls apart. Extraction turns into a traffic jam, somebody is always reversing into something expensive, and the quiet co-ordination of a six-person crew disappears entirely. Most groups consider that an upgrade, because the chaos is the reason to play with friends in the first place.
