In v40 there was a really nice mod called SmallLobby by 'godlyteam' that made it possible to run lobbies of 2 players and still make decent headway into the later stages of the game.
Currently that mod is broken and I can't get it to work for v45. My knowledge for modding is extremely limited, and I can't find any discord user under the name 'godlyteam' to contact about the mod, so I'm looking for alternatives.
I'll post the list of changes the mod implements, but if someone would be willing to recreate, fix the current mod, or create their own take on a mod that made lobbies of 1-3 players more reasonable that would be incredible.
SmallLobby added these changes:
For every missing player:
- +1 slot
- +25% weight reduction
- +10% longer day
Less than 4 players: can hold multiple 2-handed items
Less than 3 players: ship loot isn't lost when all dead.

A new mod that does something similar would be awesome, but if anybody has any ideas or suggestions beyond creating a new mod (like how to potentially fix the v40 version or who might have developed the OG) I'd love to hear them!
