coop question - how much fun?

[Tiny&Purple]

so, I do enjoy lamb.
but I read the village part is slightly broken in coop. you can't perform actions with both the lamb and the goat.

from people who played lamb in coop, how much does it bother you?
do you take turns to control the village? or just one control it? and play the dungeon together?

[frick]

it's not that great because it's purely remote play, which makes it horribly latent and an outright ♥♥♥♥♥ to get working
you can both do things in the village but if one of you opens a menu the other loses control until the menu is closed

i don't know who told you you can't do actions with both the lamb and goat, because you can, or could last i played coop
imo in coop's current state it's a little Bad purely because it's steam remote play
if it were true online play it'd be baller

thanks for the reply!!!
I plan to play on PS5 in local coop. so remote isn't an issue.
I read here that actions from one player makes the other lose control. what exactly is a menu in the game?
talking to a follower is a menu opening?
can one be on poop duty while the other talks and do stuff?

I understand that if you go into a building or change locations both move. can one talk and the other fish?

menus like the build menu, ritual menu, cooking menu, and yes, talking to followers.
one cannot be on poop duty while the other is in a menu with a follower, BUT one CAN (for the most part) be on poop duty while the other manages the farms (though it might interrupt you for choosing seeds) or clears rocks and trees.

i'm quite sure if one of you fishes, you're both fishing
though it does mean you can by technicality fish faster lol
happy to help, be excellent

awesome thanks.
hope they fix the menu thing at some point. but not sure how they can.

maybe they could make it splitscreen during menus so the other player can carry on working, i could see that being a thing

[Tiny&Purple]

yeah, that's my hope. or splitscreen in the village period.
