Quick Restart 🔁 for PEAK (2025)
Author: tony4twenty
Version: 1.0.0
Requires: [BepInEx]
🧭 Overview
Quick Restart adds the ability to quickly begin a new ascent without waiting at the airport or manually using the kiosk
Less downtime or menu-clicking. This mod is useful players who just want to jump straight into the next run.
🔑 Features
- 🚪 Skip the Airport Kiosk: Start your next ascent immediately without walking to or interacting with the kiosk.
- 💀 Quick Restart After Wipe: Press a button after all players die to restart the island immediately — no need to press “Next” or return to the airport.
- 🔁 Restart Mid-Ascent: Use the restart key at any time during an active run to return to the start.
- 🧍 Multiplayer Safe: Automatically waits for Photon network sync and player readiness to prevent desyncs and duplicate interactables.
- 🔧 Fully Configurable: Change the keybind and restart delay via BepInEx config.
⚙️ How It Works
When you press the Quick Restart key (F10 by default):
- 🟢 In the Airport: The mod simulates using the kiosk and immediately starts a new game. No need to actually use the kiosk!
- ⚰️ In the Game Over screen: It forces all players to close their end screen, transitions to the airport, then automatically starts the next run after a configurable delay.
- 🏃 During a run: Pressing the key forces a fresh start even from the beginning of the ascent.
Behind the scenes, the mod:
- Tracks scene transitions and player sync status
- Waits for all Photon players and Characters to load
- Calls the internal
kiosk.StartGame() method just like the game would
