Multiplayer 99% Vanilla Desync Issues

[Feyda]

My friend and I downloaded Zetrith's MP mod and had a great time playing the first day. Had a desync issue maybe once or twice playing 6-10 hours. Today we just keep getting desynced multiple times per hour. Then I have to sit through the "Simulating" for several minutes for it to catch back up (maybe).

The ONLY mod we have is Zetrith's, we both have the same version of the mod and Rimworld. Anyone else having similar issues or know how to fix this?

You should go to the Ludeon forum's mod page and discuss it there, I'm sure you'll find a better response there. Most people here just discuss the game in general and may not have familiarity with certain specific mods.

Thanks, might have one or 2 leads to test there. I think the problems started when our colony got too big (my friend likes to tame EVERY animal on the map and store 20,000 wood) and last night we were trying two separate colonies with 4 colonists each.

On the first colony it wasnt until we had 10-12 colonists and a lot of animals / resources that desyncs became regular.

The 2 separate colonies were desycing right from the getgo.

Also I don't think he had any issues with his side desyncing, but I would desync even as the host.

Hey,

im am currently playing with a friend, we only had issues if mods were loaded.
But the colony is still small, but thanks for sharing your infos maybe it will get worse if the colony reach a certain size.

I'm thinking colony size or multiple colonies running at the same time is at the heart of the issue.

Yeah the bigger your colony gets the more stuff needs to be processed and you get more desync. Keep in mind this mod is still being worked on and the author is trying to make this desync issue less of a nuisance.
Sell that 18k wood. Keep only 2k. You'll literally never need more than 2k wood unless you have a spam of generators.

Also, you said your friend likes taming every single animal. Does he/she tame useless animals like hare, rats, squirrels and turtles aswell? If yes then you should do something about them as they are useless besides being cannon fodders and are just eating resources. Best if they get butchered for food.

Lol keeping him in line is like babysitting a squirrel with adhd that drank a pot of coffee. I turn around for 3 minutes to run a caravan and come back to a clear cut forest and 9 new boomalopes 6 muffalos and 8 alpacas
