Co-op

100% if it was that I would be it, everyone plays Multiplay and Coop.

You can disagree all you like, your not the one making the game.

The developer posted on Reddit when it first entered Early Access, I commented that I would be keen to play it if it had co op.
The reply I got from the dev was co op was planned to be added later down the line.

I have been watching it on my wishlist since then, waiting for the co op update.

Hmm, not sure it was us.
The game is built around a time-skipping feature that won't work with co-op in its current state. And then there is the story, also made for the single-player mode. Adding coop would mean changing the game to its core, and it's definitely not in our plans.

and here they are ladies and gents - the coop/multiplayer trolls

So true. Prefer the MMO. Co-Op is very minimal, unless the price is around 10 bananas.

Then the game just needs other/better balance. Such games have to be coop.

Easy skip and I am sure...this game won't have a long future.

I would like if this was co op for sure. But the terrible mechanic of gathering and doing any action taking time and being a slider bar loading screen simply wouldn't work in co op. One guy advances time, the other watches the sun go by and his stats drop for no reason? If they just had animations and actually using the tools by swinging them instead of the stupid slider bar thing, then it would be easy to do co op.

Look, some people prefer a more realistic approach to survival and some people want to be able to build a house in a few seconds.

If you want totally unrealistic survival games there are plenty to choose from. Personally I love that the game takes time into account in a survival setting.

100% would try this if there was co-op. Single player only, as it currently is? I've got other things to do.

Then you better get to it because this game is single player only, by design. Adios.

Terrible mechanic--that works great for a single player game? lol Dev said no, you're not getting multiplayer. Hope you can accept that, not that you have a choice. The time mechanic is fine, I'd rather have that then sit mindlessly swinging away for X amount of time to emulate the task. Just fast forward and move on to the next thing instead of stalling out the game. Fun game, doesn't need to be multiplayer, that doesn't fit the story or anything else. The demand to make it multiplayer is so tone deaf given the style of the game. No. Can you take that for an answer? No.

Balance got tossed out the window and if it wasn't for the fact that I had already gone past the point of being able to refund I would of once they broke it with co-op

you seriously can just not do coop? who cares if it makes it easy for other people what a weird gatekeep

Because developing coop isn't just flipping a damn switch FFS! It pulls major amounts of time and resources away from real dev work like bug fixes, balances, and new content. Meanwhile the majority of you coop/ multiplayer trolls just up and forget about the game so when the game DOES finally release aid mode, the majority of the "possible buyers" are gone and all that time, energy and money basically gets flushed down the drain

This is the thing that most of them don't understand, or if they do understand it they don't care that it takes more time and more money to make a mp game, and many of the smaller indie studios are not capable of pulling it off.

One example is My Time at Sandrock, Pathea has about 30 devs but none of them had experience with mp, so they brought in some people to make a mp mode for that game, but it still didn't satisfy many of the mp whiners because it's a separate sandbox mode with no story campaign, they wanted the whole game to be mp, they just couldn't understand that the vision for that series has always been for a solo experience, and they didn't want mp play to turn it into a grind fest for the solo players. And by spending the resources to make that mp mode it has taken away from the solo play being as well fleshed out as it was in their first game, MTaP.

I mean I don't know what the mp whiners don't get about the fact that you can either have a mediocre mp game, or a stellar solo game.

I only like this game because it's hard enough, I love challenge. Else it does not keep me thrilled.

Wish we had some friendly NPC in addition to shaman.

But we get hostile NPCDevs make it fair
