Multiplayer Universe


Recommended Posts

After looking at the party phone it got me thinking, what if I could play with my friends in the same universe. If you were to make two people able to play but maybe  not on the same world, for example the use of party phone and the new teleporters to send things to help each other this could be amazing. Maybe you could send rockets to your friends planet and though you could not control their duplicants you could have settings that you can change like when one person pauses they both pause or separate pausing and speeds. I love your game and hope it continues to get better like it has been doing.(I hope I submitted this to the right place)

There's currently an active thread about multiplayer in general discussion, and although it's in the wrong place, you might like some of the ideas presented in that post.  I think most people want some interaction with others.  Who wants to isolate themselves even more than necessary within the current state of things?

Universe - no way

Multiverse with limited access points (like trading resources via temporal tear) would be possible. If you are interested with something like that, I made "Multiplayer Storage" mod to share resources with your friends. But this is as far as ONI multiplayer can go, and any attempts to run the same shared game would be a disaster, both from coding, performance and final experience points of view

I think this might work but would require much bigger game changes to make sense. The game could get adapted to resource trading between game worlds but it would need either a special teleporter building that is on a non-starting asteroid or a space destination allowing to transport stuff in and out of connected games. For it to be balanced you`d have to have each player open the portal on their side and the resources would only arrive around the same in game cycle in game for both players so it would be semi synced.
