LOL! And just how is multiplayer going to work here? You are controlling a single group of survivors, what is a second person going to do?

Exactly, the second person will do absolutely nothing.

It never fails, anytime a new game comes out someone comes along and asks for multiplayer but never gives any ideas on how to actually make it work or any real reason for it beyond "because it's cool".

So, you want to know waht I mean ok here.: I don´t mean that you build someting in pairs, but two do something separately and help each other and exchange things and practically play together. You could also build sotmhing like a multplayer game I don´t mean. With about 4,6.8,... players were cool. I hope I was able to clarify your question.

No, that still makes no sense. You're directing survivors, you can't even take direct control of them, just giving orders that they more or less follow. More than one player would be dumb.

look up the Rimworld Multiplayer Mod.
Thats how it would look. Just in 3D.

And no, you don't understand what I'm saying, given the programming in this game what you are suggesting is like trying to turn a voltswagon beetle into a tractor trailer. You can't do that.

What he means here is you are not a physical character in the game, you are basically the brain controlling a system. You can make the brain more powerful, you can make it faster. But adding a second brain to control the system would be counter productive, because it would get confusing with problems of workload allocation. Plus there is no benefit to having second or third players in an obviously single player game. Like sim city with two people trying to build their version. Having two games and two players link up would also not help matters, firstly because how would you contact each other? you have to build an array to talk to passing ships, how you gonna talk to someone on another map? And that doesn't even touch upon the travel and trade aspects. It takes them a day to walk a little distance from the base to get resources, they need a year to go to another map to collect or drop off stuff. They'd be dead before they got there. You could say do it by balloon, but it still leaves you short a worker, time in which that worker could have gotten the amount you could trade and carry by just getting it from your own map.

The second player will be an alien who crashed on the same rock as you. Unite or fight!

Good idea in theory, but time skip and pause would have to be disabled. And in these games sometimes you need the pause.

Multiplayer would be dope. It's awesome in Rimworld (via mods) and would probably be so in this too. I can understand if it's not a priority at the moment however.

Ich kann man das gut vorstelllen, wenn 4 menschliche Leute je 1 KI bedienen.; es wird erstmal Chaos herrschen ,,jeder möchte was machen, da ist gute Planung das A und O ,damit das richtige getan wird.

8 - 10 Mann Server, somit kann jeder mit jeden spielen;
wenn es auch eine kleine warteliste geben würde wo sich erstmal 4 Leute versammeln=Spielanfang : und eine Warteliste für die Leute die keine lust haben in der ersten 4er Gruppe mitzumachen = wo werde ich heute auf einem fremden Server/Welt landen

Buy a multiplayer game sigh, these never work worth a ♥♥♥♥, the maps would need to be 2, 4, 6, 8 times bigger. Meanwhile you can just join discord, share screen and get the exact same experince almost, and not require a dev team to drop the entire game for 6 months to 2 years to get MP support, making every one else review bomb the game bankrupting the company lol.
