Simple Voice Chat

We use Simple Voice Chat to allow players to communicate via voice, over proximity or global groups. This mod is recommended and encouraged for all players. While we understand not all players are able to talk in voice chat every session, we ask that all players install the mod regardless, as it allows you to hear others.

Moreover, installing Simple Voice Chat allows you to hear custom music discs created by players in-game!
