 | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | ### What is a YAML and why do I need one?
 | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | You can see the [basic multiworld setup guide](/tutorial/Archipelago/setup/en) here on the Archipelago website to learn  | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | about why Archipelago uses YAML files and what they're for. | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 
 | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | ### Where do I get a YAML?
 | 
					
						
							| 
									
										
										
										
											2022-08-21 17:30:30 +02:00
										 |  |  | You can use the [game settings page](/games/Risk%20of%20Rain%202/player-settings) here on the Archipelago  | 
					
						
							| 
									
										
										
										
											2022-06-27 20:05:55 -05:00

 | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | The Risk of Rain 2 players send checks by causing items to spawn in-game. That means opening chests or killing bosses, | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | generally. An item check is only sent out after a certain number of items are picked up. This count is configurable in | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | the player's YAML. |

 | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | While playing the multiworld you can type `say` then your message to type in the multiworld chat. All other multiworld | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | remote commands list in the [commands guide](/tutorial/Archipelago/commands/en) work as well in the RoR2 chat. You can  | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | also optionally connect to the multiworld using the text client, which can be found in the  | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | [main Archipelago installation](https://github.com/ArchipelagoMW/Archipelago/releases). |
