You think Spaced Out might pave the way for Multiplayer?

Maybe should make a tooltip when entering the forum "Please do not ask about multiplayer"? I have been on this forum for over two years now, and I see a new post asking about multiplayer every month. Is this some a challenge to annoy developers?

Yup, factorio has multiplayer mode, and, although I didn't play it in multiplayer, a lot of guys had fun playing it. So why not for ONI.

ONI MMO? :D

Factorio multiplayer made the single player game worse....

Originally the engine was not deterministic. It was basically completely re-written for the purpose of multiplayer, and has limited a lot of potential improvements and features.

Do not want.

People just like to enjoy things they like with people they like. I've played the hell out of Don't Starve Together with my girlfriend, and I would kill for an ONI multiplayer since we are both obsessed by it too. The "huh, that's cool" moments are always much more enjoyable when there's a second pair of eyes seeing it with you.

Well , nothing prevents you from enjoying it together the same way. I have played games like prison architect and stardew valley, before it had multiplayer, with my girlfriend and we had a blast. All we needed was to take turns and support the other one while it wasn't our turn.

Not every game needs to have a multiplayer mode, and a lot of times trying to slap it in a game that wasn't designed with multiplayer in mind brings a lot of unneeded issues.

IF we were to have a multiplayer ONI, i would only have it if it was a separate game like DST, and way after the current game is stabilized, and all the much needed performance issues adressed.

But, to be honest, it had to be a very different game to even consider mp. Even in this ONI we end up with little to do in a few hundred cycles. Now divide that with another player and the colonies would die much faster.

Of course, I would have it no other way. Some core aspects would have to undergo massive changes to make it possible, and destroying what a game was in order to make it multiplayer is no thing I'd want either. I still play the classic Don't Starve even with DST.
