Max Party Size.

[Caaros]

So I've seen people saying that the max player party size is 4, while others say it is the leader and four other people. Which one is it?

[Seraphita]

Neither. It's the host and infinite. (Don't do infinite, not joking. You'll crash the game). You can edit a value in the config or not sure where to increase party size. Not sure if there's a limit...

I mean in terms of the teams you can set up. I know I can edit the lmit, but I'm trying to figure out if I HAVE to.

Starbound.config file in your storage where save is. Use notepad or etc:
"maxPlayers" : 8, "maxTeamSize" : 4 (see values. Edit those while game is closed. Save.)

Or just use the data above to find what current cap is. The 4 includes the host. (being 1/4)

Ah, ok. Everybody involced has to edit that file, correct?

Nope, only party leader if I remember right. (or server host to be more certain). The change will apply to everyone. It's like client sided so anyone else's max party size (hosting) will be default.

It's not like a mod where everyone needs a thing. The party host changes the value and done. Extra info, the changes will also visually appear for everyone regardless. (I tested it myself)

Okay, thanks for the info. I'm gearing up to do a modded let's play with four other friends.

Doesn't work for me. Edited the conf file for me and 4 of my friends but still can only fit 4 players in the party.
