Local coop on 1 pc?

[MrBrain]

Is it here or planning?

hmm.. In theory, you can download the game on steam and then also the website version. If you launch them both, then maybe you can play on the same local server?

No, i mean multiplayer on 1 running game. Store page just labels the game as local coop, it usually means on 1 pc.

local means LAN network. shared/split screen is not supported for this game.

I don't understand how you would even be able to do split screen work, there is too much information between the craft/inventory menu and the side bar that it's already less than ideal when you go bellow 1080p full screen, I can't even imagine how you would put all of that twice on a single screen without it only being good for multi-monitor or ultra-wide setups.

Local Area Network network?

The only way I'd figure this can work is if you stream your gameplay to a network which lets other players to 'logs in' or connect to this network to get a viewable screen and controls to use, to 'remote control' additional entities in your game's instance.

1) It's very resource intensive, meaning you are likely duplicating parts of your game's rendering into data across the internet for someone to see it as a video feed.
2) Can be laggy and the timing of the video sync is never correct, that person would see massive delays in controls and such, making real time action gameplay not possible, only plausable in a turn based game.

Nintendo Gameboy Advance and DS games had this function a long time ago, where the owner of one game cartridge, can connect via wires or wireless, to other game systems to 'share' the game data to them.

But in essence that's simply 'downloading' and uploading a exact copy of your game to them lol!

Also these games are extremely limited and simple due to the data constraint.

OP, there is no splitscreen planned.

Thx for answers! Actually i haven't play long and just hoped that maybe this feature is in or planned to play at home with my brother)
Btw, is gamepad support planning? Or mouse only controls (as in some RPGs)? Or it is not possible? I just cant play long with keyboard+mouse because of my health condition.

Playing this game with a controller is probably not a good idea.

That said, the Steam controller might be worth a try, since it's basically two touchpads placed together. Not as precise as a mouse, but miles better than analag control. You'd still need to input the values with the keyboard though, for circuits etc...

noone found solution for this ?

A solution to what? Lack of splitscreen? You can run as many instances as you want, just use one of those softwares that basically make a "second PC" on the same machine, get a second screen, kb/m and you should be good.

Steam controller is very expensive in Russia and it looks not convenient for me, i used to standart PS gamepads.
Maybe it is notb a good idea, i just installed it, but can mouse only with click to walk and bunch of icons work?

I believe someone made a mod for playing with a controller. Check the mod portal.

No, "local multiplayer" means same machine which is why when you use "localhost" as an IP with direct connect it connects to the server if it's hosted on a dedicated server on the same machine. LAN play means LAN play, although i don't think Steam has a category for that.

That's pretty deceptive then, granted the game is amazing but i personally reccomend removing it from that category if it doesn't support local multiplayer.
