One more time, nothing is clearly explained about coop by devs on game Steam store page...
That's why i will avoid this game.

You can find answers on coop games description on Cooptimus.com.
Good luck.

Hey venkavenificis.

You can find how to start co-op within fade to silence here - https://steamcommunity.com/games/706020/announcements/detail/1697180487041685388 -

Where we announced the co-op system, not really sure what Apharmd is on about when he says there is nothing explained about the co-op at all since the announcement had everything.

To quote that post -

To start Co-op, you need to have at least 1 follower already recruited in your refuge as your friend will join and pick one of your followers to possess during his or her visit to your world. We will incrementally implement features that will make sure the guest player is also properly incentivized to join your adventure, using mechanics like persistent shard pick ups, and others like each follower having different stats. Right now, if you as the host player craft a non-consumable item, such as the Scrap Sword, you will automatically craft two, one for you and one for your friend. If, as the host, one of your followers crafts a non-consumable item via a crafting station, your follower will put two of that item in your refuge stash.

Unlike your followers, your co-op partner is able to revive you on the spot you died for a cost on his or her deprivation, allowing you to progress further as a team in your world.

The two players are leashed to one another as well. If one player strays far from the other, they will be teleported next to each other following a warning.

You can start a Co-op session using the Expedition menu

How long does it take, to be able to reach that point, that you can play in coop?

Roughly 30 minutes, but it can also be quicker. You can find your first Follower in a little church/cemetary ruin just outside to the right of your camp!

Pls make it more simple to start a multiplayer-game. 30 minutes singplayer-gaming and not knowing if you find this follower and whtat to do after that mit him is a huge barrier.

3 Player coop would be very nice by the way.

It says above that the MP guest does not bring their own player character but takes control of a follower of the MP host, so obviously there needs to be one to take control of.
