c-op or co-op mod?
I have been looking but i cannot seem to find the answer, are their any plans on making this a 2 player co-op or is their a co-op mod being made?

just wondering I think would be pretty fun if you could have one of your friends jump your game and take control of just one character, and you both could explore the world together.

list of reasons.

Dev created the game as single player only
With the custom built engine, he chose modulus that allowed the freedom of single player over multiplayer. though in the core there is a tiny bit of MP functionality. the main core of the engine does not have it.

What does this mean?
It means that in the base engine there is basically zero options to add this feature. The modules the Dev used to create the games engine does not have the core coding needed.

Can MP be added as a Mod?
It is not possible due to the core engine.

But other game companies eventually had their games have MP due to modding
This is a result of their game engines already have the capability inside them. the parent company chose not to add the functionally. This is not a option with Kenshi.

But the Dev can add this after the game is finished?
In a way he could. but it would require scraping the entire game and starting over from scratch. Those are the words the Dev used. But he also said he could make Kenshi MP compatible, even so. The overhaul would require years. far longer then just starting over from scratch.

Maybe he will add it in Kenshi 2?
Kenshi 2 has been confirmed, it is using the same engine with Ogre 2.1, this means Kenshi will still not support MP.

So what are the chances of MP ever being added?
Basically, Zero.

Is there hope for Online, Multiplayer, Co-Op, Lan mod?
