Multiplayer.

Yes i have seen it being "planned", and Devs replying to people saying soon. But when is soon?
Seen many devs say soon and "they are working on it" but they turn into over a year or two of waiting, by that time the game is either dead or the hype and want for it is over.

Was planning on getting this with a few mates a couple weeks ago, but saw the single player and aborted buying it. We have played many broken, unreleased or early access games that implemented them and were still more fun with friends, bugs and all.

Main Question is:
Is there any planned dates or windows when the multi/co-op option will be available? Like is it actually soon or is it over a month or 2 waiting?

How long is a piece of string? No ETA given means no ETA.

The devs gave a general answer to this, did you not read the pinned posts?

Yes, it will likely be in the works once we do a few QOL features, some more mechanics, and some much needed optimization for lower end machines and late game play. We have answered this question on a FAQ that is in the discord

With a means to measure using a a universally accepted standard, give me the string and I will tell you... If that's not an option I can guess quite accurately, better yet, make up my own measurement standard. Bottom line, it's very doable to at least give a ballpark estimate... If it is indeed going to be 2 years, they can just be honest, however, they may want to consider what the paying customer base really finds important.
