Raises ASKA's player party NPC limit above the vanilla limit of 3.
Default party capacity: 6 NPC villagers.
Install the mod from the manager and launch the game from that same managed profile.
BepInEx/plugins/AskaExpandedParty/AskaExpandedParty.dll
The config file is generated after the first launch:
BepInEx/config/com.community.askaexpandedparty.cfg
Default config:
[General]
Enabled = true
PartyCapacity = 6
[Diagnostics]
DebugLogging = false
[UI]
ScalePartyWidget = true
TwoColumnLeftShift = 230
PartyCapacity accepts values from 3 to 20. The recommended starting value is 6.ScalePartyWidget (default true) — Scales and repositions the party HUD when more than 3 members are in the party. At 11 or more members the HUD switches to a two-column layout.TwoColumnLeftShift (default 230) — Pixels to shift the party HUD container left when two-column mode activates (party > 10). Range: 0 to 600. Default 230 pulls the right-edge widget toward screen center so the second column (left of the first) is fully visible. Reduce toward 0 if the widget sits too far from the right edge; increase up to 600 if the second column still clips.The mod raises two party-size gates:
SSSGame.PlayerParty.GetAgentsCapacity() reports the configured capacity instead of vanilla 3.PlayerParty.SetTaskAgent is patched so recruitment can succeed above 3.The mod does not directly edit saved party member lists, villager ownership fields, player party IDs, or network party state. Vanilla game code still performs recruitment and dismissal.
This mod does not add custom save data.
However, a save with more than 3 active party members is outside vanilla's expected party size. If you load that save without the mod, vanilla behavior is undefined. Possible outcomes include the extra member being removed, the party remaining over capacity until someone leaves, or UI/AI oddities.
Before uninstalling, disabling the mod, or setting Enabled = false:
For multiplayer sessions, all participating clients should use the same mod version and the same PartyCapacity setting. Avoid changing capacity mid-session.
BepInEx/plugins/.Enabled = true and PartyCapacity is greater than 3.ScalePartyWidget = true or reduce PartyCapacity.BepInEx/LogOutput.log.
