Coop multiplayer

[Gøran]

How does multiplayer work in this game? Is it possible to run a company together with a friend?

[Mr.Michael]

There are a max of 8 slots per each convoy room. If you want to run mods, you and your friend must have the same mods and in the same order. You pick and choose your loads and that's basically it.

So no company and working towards a common goal? Just drive together with different loads and missions?

I mean running a company together in the same way as the Farming Sim games :)

run as a (VTC)Virtual Trucking Company then you can

In the base game, you and your friends do not share anything permanent. Trucks, Owned Trailers, Garages, and Money are separate for each player.

However, if one player accepts a job on Convoy mode, the other players are able to take the same job. This way, you and any friends are able to drive the same route, with the same cargo, to and from the same place at the same time. Each player will still be responsible for their own truck, and each player will be payed at the end of the route.

There is no gameplay benefit to playing Convoy mode, it is purely for fun to be able to drive with a friend. Unlike FS, where multiple people can work to do the same task, you are still just working for yourself. There is also no downside to playing Convoy mode, as you are given the option to revert the save to before joining if something happens

Well your able to take the same loads. It's all about what you want to do.

The goal is to have fun with your friends. I would say SCS didn't really focus to much on completing common goals or such.

Yes and no. You can drive together doing the same job, you don't have to be different jobs. Although it's not uncommon to join a game late, and then find a run that goes the same route as the people already haulin.

Is there a mod that lets you give someone else a truck?
