Not planned, I'm afraid.
As you've noted there are some complexities in the design - how exactly would it work?
That's solvable, but the technical challenge would be gigantic. I'd have to learn a whole new skillset.
I think there's a ton of value to add to SP before considering something like that.

Why not tho? Some kind of interaction between colonies would be a cool addiction. Am I wrong?

it would be very complicated to add multiplayer to this game, only multiplayer I see is a 5vs5 arena/pvp match on the same map.

I know, I've read all posts, but still, why not focus on trying to add multiplayer after main game goals are done?

**** yes i want a co-op mode so i can introduce my friends to this game and convince them to buy it.

I don't see much value in co-op unless you're using friends to help you manage multiple colonies. PvP would be a lot cooler. Though it's not something that I'm dying for. I'd rather they focus on singleplayer for now.

This game is not set up for multiplayer, theres really nothing in it that would make it any better.. if you opened it up to multiplayer you let in the trolls. Even if you could pick friends only there't not much value in my opinion. The main draw of this game is having complete control over your colony. You lose that and then it't not always your choice.

i was just thinking co-op but oh well the game is plenty addictive the way it is

honestly (and i know nothing about code) put it on a persistent server no slowing down or pausing let each server have one fully generated planet but uninhabited by npc factions only traders come from space and players of course can trade with each other create alliances conduct wars and so on. im not saying it wouldnt be difficult im saying the game would change so much and change into something more positive. multiplayer should be implemented and sooner rather then later so as to flesh out all the issues the game as is. its amazing hands down days and days worth of fun but a faction war between 6-8 players on a planet with 20 - 40 players all with their own factions. beautiful

There is a mod called Phi in the workshop that allows you to interact with other people (send gifts, trade, chat, etc). That mod is the closest you'll get to mutliplayer in Rimworld from what I know.

so u want a rimworld on a persistent server with all the fun of offline raiding. not to mention a rimworld without the ability to control speed or pause the game. these things u want are not positive and i hope u never get what u want if u want this game multiplayer
