Increase player count a MUST

[Feldsparian]

I so want to enjoy this game! My biggest complaint so far (granted, not a lot of time in yet) is that only 3 of my friends can join me. My current gaming group is 7. My last four coop survival/crafting games (Ensrhouded, Moria, Conan: Exiles, and Valheim) all supported this issue. PLEASE increase the player count.

yes more is good!

Also, get the server hosting up and running! We need persistent world instances that don't require the host to be present.

That will probably come when they add dedicated servers. Right now though with it being local host reliant it would create too much load for the host to have more than four players connected at once. Plus if you have too many players that can really trivialize the difficulty of the game. I'm managing just fine solo so if I had one additional person to play with, everything in the game so far would be super easy.

I certainly hope so. My group is itching to play as all together. Will be the determining factor as to if we stick to this game or not.

Dedicated servers will likely have higher cap. the 3 or 4 person cap is to ensure that the majority of machines as well as the game engine can handle that. Most other games survival games with local hosted servers have similar limits.

Understood, but there is no word on dedicated servers. We will not be moving foward with this game as a group until it is certain we can all play. After all, popular titles in recent years have all launched with server support already in place.
