MultiPlayer?!?!?

[CamoDuck]

So does anyone know if there is works on a multiplayer from the creators or a mod maker?

[chaney]

The creators have made it quite clear this game will never have multiplayer.

They know that some of you will not buy the game because of the decision.

I don't represent the company, I'm just a long-time community member hoping to derail yet another thread on the topic before a dozen people feel the need to say "it sucks." Sorry, just being practical.

[CamoDuck]

Well you answered one of my questions then, now does anyone know if there is a mod maker making a multiplayer mod?

[chaney]

Again, not official or the final word, but I don't think it will be possible within a mod to set up multiplayer. I hope someone can prove me wrong :)

Check out the upcoming Railroad Corporation.
It will have multiplayer.

Railroad Empire will NOT as modders don't have access to the parts of the program they need for multiplayer. (There would be a LOT of rewriting going on if MP were "added").

Have had it wish listed for a long time, hoping MP would come because it would really be just to play with a train fanatic friend.

As already been commented above and can also be found by using the search-function in this hub, multiplayer is not planned for Railway Empire and Railway Empire was, from the ground developed as pure singleplayer experience.

a shame ...
the gameplay loop realy would have allowed for realtime MP
(with a option to slow down gameplay speed)
but hey netcode is hard, i understand that the dev. isnt able to make it peer 2 peer

Love SP games only. Best use of Devs resources.

Too pitty!

[genemead]

Nothing like digging up an old thread on a old subject.

[Rudolf Fischer]

#old matters! Seen many old games, which got an update or had been remade with nice changes.

[genemead]

There's 5,264 multiplayer games, and that's just on Steam...
You and your buddies can play any of those.

Why does this game have to have MP?

[Rudolf Fischer]

We love games like this. Not all multiplayer games, like a shooters f.e. fit in this category. Some fit more, some less. But most of the 5264 don´t fit at all. We love manegement, tycoon games playing together(coop and versus). But played all of them we found. Transport Tycoon, openttd, industry giant II, tropicos, factorio, Unknown Horizons, satisfactory, prison architect with mp-mod, rimworld with mp-mod, locomotion, Interstellar Transport Company, Trans Ocean 2, the settlers-games, annos, cities in motion, city skylines-mp-mod, railroad tycoons, simutrans. And some smaller ones. We are looking for the next one. They are very rare. And this one is perfectly fitting for us 4 friends.

Did you know some games like this (multiplayer coop or vs)? Settler 6 you can´t save in mp. So that´s bad. Saving-option is a must-have. We play this games over weeks and months.

[genemead]

You're SOL. This one will never have MP. Deal with it.
This is not "the next one". The "next one" may never come.

All those games and you couldn't find ONE that will work for you guys?

You might try Railroad Corporation (but it's only for 2 players, and only vs.)

[Rudolf Fischer]

Yes, i don´t think that a mp will be added or a mod. Maybe on Railroad Empire 2. We have played all mentioned games a lot already, we are searching for a new game.

Versus would be o.k.. We play versus and coop. But minium 3 players, better 4.
