How does the multiplayer of this game works?

[Rex Lupus]

I bought this game on early access to support it because I liked my time at Portia a lot, but never actually played this because I was holding to get the full game once it was fully released. Now that it's fully released, I also saw that it has multiplayer. How does multiplayer work for this game? Is it good? Is it worth it?
I was thinking of getting it for my friends so we can play together, but with the new high price, it might not be worth it as my friends might not like the game enough to justify the new price. Can someone help with this?

I came here for the same question. Is it the full experience? How does it work? What are the restrictions?

I had the same question so I started my own town today. It has milestones to give you more exp and gols. From the few minutes I played, looks like I could play alone on it. One thing I did notice and I could be wrong; There isn't really a story line. I was going to use this to reply it but I may do single player so I have the story line part. That's all I can answer.

would like to know this too, only interested in playing with friend.

It's works terribly. if You don't have active friend playing, You're on Your own. otherwise, You'll met stranger. that can just spend your money and overtake and disturb everything. The boundaries and sense of personal space doesn't exist. Who need it in multiplayer. lets just toss everything out of the window and lets chaos ensue. what could go wrong? LOT

If I play multiplayer, I will be playing with friends, so your complain doesn't affect me. I'm more interested in know more about the multiplayer gameplay.

hard pass.

Separate mode as the developers promised from the start. Single player is the story mode and multiplayer is a sandbox.

They never promised that it would be a separate mode from the start, as they wanted it to be story co-op from the start as that was the main reason to move to Sandrock and not extra content DLC for Portia. So they had also to expand the story quite a lot to be on par with Portia so it could stand on its own.

But when they were working on it they noticed they couldn't get it to work to their satisfaction and split both modes, Which you can read in the news linked earlier in this topic.

From kickstarter page:

Multiplayer – We’ve heard you, and we are aiming to have a specific game mode for multiplayer, without interfering with our development of single-player. Much is still on the drawing board or in the design phase, but the aim is to support at least 4 players in an open world map, separate from the single-player map. Players will be able to work, fight, and dungeon dive together. We’re also looking to create multiplayer specific missions and storylines. Much of this is dependent on your support!

All the way from the drawing board the multiplayer was going to be separate mode from single player with it's own map and quests. They initially planned 20-30 hour storyline for MP but it was canned due to negative feedback from the players and lack of time and resources to implement another story.

So the coop mode is a sandbox... really bad news. We have plenty of survival / sandbox games in this genre. Main reason to buy this game was to enjoy the full game story & mechanics with my wife :(

Yep, a shame. I was waiting for the multiplayer release, but I was hoping Stardew Valley-like CoOp, so the full game. Now I will wait for a really cheap sale, so a couple of years.
