All Things Multiplayer - Post here

[CodeHorizon_Mod_Tyler]

OK, after discussing with the devs we have decided that we will allow this thread to be the only one on the discussion board for where this conversation can take place.

MP will not be added to the game but feel free to discuss it.

Please be constructive and polite when posting, we know that MP is a much requested feature but it has been explained many times why it wont come.

Feel free to post ideas, or thoughts etc.

The Devs from The day before could do multiplayer for you
Don´t seem like a big problem.
Or is you game even more asset flipped then theirs?

I'm sorry. I just do not understand how the PC version of this is not MP yet. Just ALLOW modding. You don't even really have to pay for it at all. There are many modders out there who would happily do the work for free, for a game like this. All the devs would have to do, is implement some kind of check when a player wishes to play Leaderboard mode. Not allow them to start a game in that mode, if any mods are installed. Other than that, let the community do the work you either cannot afford to do, or simply refuse to do. It's been done for so many games already. Even a simple 2-4 man co-op would make this game shine on so many levels, especially if done similar to Stardew Valley, or FS. Keep all the money/gold/Mag pooled into the map owner's account. Your friends will be there to help you, not get rich off of you. Not to mention the added sales for the base game alone you'd get from all the people who see the potential of a MP Gold mining game. Just saying, guys. There really is no reason to keep the modders from taking an already old game, and breathing some much needed new life into it.

Partly true, in early development there was a vote where the community could decide between multiplayer and console version.
Community decided for console version, not multiplayer!

And those who yell around here have never made any (constructive) plans how the rules should be (dividing money, protection against abusive behavior like destroying everything and quit) and the host (central or p2p). Making good(!) multiplayer is more difficult than most of the crybabies here can ever imagine, but they all think they're the best game devs.

MP isn't that hard to do. A lot of games have done it and I've even looked into what would need to be done to convert an existing game to MP. It isn't as hard as a lot of people make it out to be. It is a choice of whether they want to do something. And considering that this game has been out for several years with little to no bug fixes or even new content, I'd call laziness. I have been here since day one of this game and have been disappointed with it every step of the way. And as someone else has stated, all of us backers have pretty much left. At this point, I'm just watching to see what happens. And so far, I am not seeing much good in this new team

"MP will not be added to the game but feel free to discuss it."
In other words, We aren't going to add Multiplayer but you can talk about it all you want, we have your money and really don't care what you think of it. Talk till you're blue in the face, we really don't care.

It puts the Multiplayer in the game, Or Else it gets the Hose again!!!

Best thing would be a Goldrush 2 with planned and implemented multiplayer from the start.

yea would be fun with upgraded graphics and multiplayer

[bradford.g]

Do the nee development team have any place to change the no multi-player thing? I think having a crew would be amazing and maybe server to have more then one crew on a server to have our own compilations and or rp server type thing

dont think there settings on NO to multiplayer have changed, i know i would play alot more if it was multiplayer some how, and ill know a few more that would get the game but they dont want atm as there is only SINGLE PLAYER and its sad 2024 that they cant even get a team to make a mod or make it

Messaggio originale di Mr.Smith -Qc-:

all the cash theyre missing for a couple months of work ...

A couple of months of work? are you joking.. you do realise to add multiplayer to this game they would have to rebuild the whole game from scratch as the coding is all kind of messed up of years of hotfixes and patches from the old devs.... ooo yeah and that the team that are now working on the game are an entirely new dev team.

Same as I posted on the discord:

You can ask for MP in all different ways it's your right as a player but people also forget kickstarter they gave the option and console port won so the game was built with that in mind as people wanted it more. Yes would be great to have mp/p2p or what ever types of co-op play that could be done but the game isn't big enough. Average players in a group of 2 could clean all maps easily in no time so it would cost more then we can all estimate to redesign the game in 2024 for mp when it was built in 2017. Ask for a new game with mp pitch ideas towards things like that instead of wishing this game will get something that will never happen.

Let's just get to the main point. You abandoned the game. Leader board and retarded skins don't count towards anything. You gave up on the community that financed your production. That simple. Sell the rights to someone who cares and or allows a modding community to pick up the slack. Nobody wants to pitch ideas for a new game to you, it's been made clear and somehow still the point is being missed. Good luck on future endeavors, you can at least count on the kids who don't understand to back your product.

If you would use your time more intelligent than flaming around then you would know that there's meanwhile an other dev team who is working at the game (and yes, they're working really at the game, for example the performance optimisations and several old bugs are fixed, except the bad vehicle physics).

As someone who ACTUALLY plays this game and enjoys it, multiplayer would be very cool for a future mining sim despite the fact that you could clear the parcels quickly with 2+ people. The enjoyment in this game for me comes from mining, setting up the operation and keeping it moving around efficiently, and buying very useful equipment and upgrades. It feels like my own operation even though its the same equipment and accessories every time. I would definitely still pay to reset a parcel and mine it again in multiplayer.

By far the strong-points of this game are the digging/dirt physics and the hose physics. They work and look just fine imo. I love having my hoses organized and out of the way just how I want them. I don't like the stripes on the hoses but that's just me. If the new game has those 2 things at least then I'll be happy. If it's a mining sim in Alaska I know everything else is a given. Just please stick with the sim aspect we've all seen the wave of new arcade-y games flop don't be like them.

Also because its worth mentioning, I greatly prefer having 2 excavators (one big, one small) over the front loader. They just move a lot faster in a tighter space and I really enjoy operating the cranes. However, the sound design is pretty awful. Some good sounds for the machines would be very, very much appreciated in the new game.

My question to people who really want multiplayer is if the game is boring to you in single player is it going to be much different in multiplayer? I know that in the new game, multiplayer or not, if I don't find it enjoyable I will not keep playing it.
