How Is It For Two Player Local COOP?

[BigB0iii J0nes]

So I want to buy this game for me and my fiance so we could play side by side on a new survival crafting game but my question is would it be good for two player local COOP? How is the content for the game? Is there quite a bit to keep us occupied until more updates come out? Is there enough PvE and replay here for just us two? We aren't into PvP and don't plan on joining servers we just want to do COOP local play with each other and I'm just debating if it would be worth it right now.

You can't walk away further than 100m from each other, or the client will get teleported to the host.

So if you die as a host, your friend will get teleported to your spawnpoint with you.

Content is quite limited so far, but I've still had fun for around 40 hours. The game is quite hard in solo/coop unless you make it easier by tweaking the server setting sliders.

The leashing mechanic is terrible. Your friends have to literally do everything with you. They can't go explore or get resources too far away.

so you cant run a dedicated server and both of you connect to it?

You can solve the above mentioned issue if one of you host a dedicated server. The "leash"-mechanic (aka tethering) won't appear then, even if only you two play.

No one knows how often they plan to add new content and when they're planning to begin doing it. All patches so far have been about solving technical issues like laggy servers/crashes. But if they start adding new content soon, you can buy the game now and at least enjoy around 40~ hours of gameplay.

yeah you can the first sticky on this forum tells you how to set up and run a dedicated server also in the steam library theres a manual link that has the info as well. i advise if you want to do a private coop do that because the regular coop tether sucks cant move very far from the host and if the host walks somewhere it drags and teleports you along beside him/her.

You can but that isn't hte co-op mode it has that is how you get around the tether co-op if your rig is good, and you turn your settings to all low you cna host a 2-4 man pasworded one...
