Brotato Randomizer Setup Guide

Required Software

• Brotato, purchased either via Steam or Epic Games Store.

  • Note that the Xbox/Game Pass version of Brotato does NOT work, because it does not ship with ModLoader, which is necessary for the mod to work.

Steam (Workshop Install)

WARNING: The workshop mod automatically updates whenever a new version is available. If you need to use an older version of the mod to complete a multiworld, you will need to use the manual installation instructions below.

1. Open the Steam Workshop for Brotato.
2. Search for the "Archipelago" mod.
3. Subscribe to the mod to install it.

Steam (Manual Install)

As of the 1.1.0.0 update, Brotato does not accept mods added any way apart from via the Workshop. As a workaround, we can use the placeholder mod, and place the Archipelago mod in that folder.

1. Download RampagingHippy-Archipelago.zip from the latest release.
2. Open the Steam Workshop for Brotato.
3. Subscribe to the [Modders] mode to download it.
4. In a File Explorer, navigate to your Brotato Steam Workshop folder. On Windows, this defaults to C:\Program Files (x86)\steamapps\workshop\content\1942280 (1942280 is Brotato's Steam ID).
5. Open the folder titled 3369699033 in the above directory.
6. Copy the zip file we downloaded in step 1. into this folder.

• DO NOT UNZIP THE FILE.
• DO NOT REMOVE ANY OTHER FILES HERE.

Epic Games Store

1. Download RampagingHippy-Archipelago.zip from the latest release.
2. Copy the zip file to <brotato_installation>/mods.

• DO NOT UNZIP THE FILE.
• To confirm, there is be a file called add your zipped mods here in the folder.
• If you don't know where to look:
  1. Find Brotato in your EGS library
  2. Click on the three horizontal dots next to its name.
  3. In the window that opens, click the folder+magnifying glass next in the "Installation" row.

MultiworldGG Text Client

The Brotato mod acts as a client to MultiworldGG, so you do not need to launch a separate client. However, you may find it useful to keep the MultiworldGG Text Client (included in the MultiworldGG installation by default) open alongside Brotato to keep track of Multiworld progress.
