1. Start with the App
Open Crowd Control Desktop App
Select Find The Needle from the game list
Follow the Auto Setup checklist (left side of app)
2. Test Before You Stream
You can only test effects after pressing "Start Session" in the Crowd Control app
Always test a few effects before going live to confirm effects trigger as expected
Skipping this step can lead to broken streams and confusion!
Game Version
We support the Steam version of Find The Needle, Early Access build EA V12 (Windows). There is no mod loader: the game's own engine loads the mod through override.cfg.
In-Game Overlay
The Crowd Control card sits top-right in game, under the hay counter.
F8 cycles the card between normal, diagnostics and hidden
F9 reconnects if the connection drops
Timed effects pause with the game and resume where they left off
Common Issues
Leaderboards: with the mod installed the game keeps your runs off the leaderboards (the game's own rule for mods). Remove the mod to compete again.
Crash reports: automatic crash reports are switched off while the mod is installed.
Already have an override.cfg? The installer's copy replaces it. Add the line CrowdControl="*res://CrowdControl/crowd_control.gd" under [autoload] in your own file instead.
