Build 42 Multiplayer

[MonkeyElite69]

Do you know if multiplayer will be enabled? It still doesn't appear on the menu

The laptop that had the only copy of the new multiplayer code got stolen in Detroit, so the only build 42 servers are currently hosted from the multiplaya haters ball.

What I do not get is...why not? Is it because multiplayer would mean work for them? What is the harm in letting players just play on servers together while they work out the kinks? I really love this game, but playing alone is downright boring. I watch these videos I forget by who on youtube where this guy puts 100 players together and they like vote in a leader and there is all this strife and drama between factions. Some factions are like cops some are farmers. Power goes to peoples heads people get murdered there are like political overthrows and power stuggles. It is honestly one of the greatest things I have ever seen it is like watching a movie and looks beyond fun to be a part of.

@GiNZO they dont work on it rn because they dont have the ressource to allocate to it, they better off debugging the WHOLE SP BEFORE adding mp, FOR THE SIGLE PURPOSE OF RESSOURCE ALLOCATION, you cant work on 10 things at the same time and they are a small team

First, necromancy is so passe.

Online multiplayer is currently disabled in the Unstable branch because this public-testing build contains bugs that are already ruining long-duration saves; doubly true for extensively modded saves.

If your entire existence revolves around a multiplayer experience you can:

• A. Play B41 Stable, which has online multiplayer.
  
• B. Wait until enough bugs have been fixed for The Indie Stone to feel comfortable enough to flip the switch for the B42 Unstable.

OTOH, if you enjoy testing:

• C. You can play solo and help with the discovery and reporting of bugs.
