This is true, however other things (Computer specs, network speed) might come in the way before you'll be able to reach such client amounts obviously.

All in all, with decent network speeds you should be able to play with all your friends. There is only limit of 65535 players.

I see that answer a lot.
However, the limit is 255 players at the same time, and 65.535 distinct players in the save as a whole.
I actually ran into this limit (it was 255 total players in the savegame then) and it was increased to 65.535 offline players with 0.12.28, but the online player limit is still 255.

What happens if you die in the MP game? I imagine with 65,535 players, the Meat Shield Contingency could be placed into effect to curb the actions of the natives. Even with 255 players, you could just lock and load and santize a continent or two.

you respawn at 0;0, your inventory will be eaten

Can't figure out how to word this for google, but I want to know how places that use '.' as the gap between thousands/hundreds/etc. deal with doing that, what do you use as a decimal point?

It's called the thousands separator. Typically they swap them. So comma would be the demical point. Other places use spaces for thousands separator and dot or even comma for decimal point.

Is it difficult to set up a server if I wanted to just play with one friend? I'm thinking about buying it.

porforward on your router, start your map as multiplayer-session, give your friend your ip, done, same for hamachi, tungle,evolve..., you do not need the standalone-server
