Multiplayer in Oxygen not Included

[yanir2582]

Hey, I would like to share with you something about Oxygen not Included.

In our opinion (me and my friends) if the game Oxygen not Included would be with a multiplayer option the game would be a lot more fun, challenging, etc.

For example: Don't Starve was not as fun as the multiplayer version (Don't Starve Together) because you couldn't experience the fun of playing the game with other people except yourself and you didn't have any help and support from other people.  

We (the community and us) would like the multiplayer option to be added into the game. (It's worth the try)

Here's an example of the community trying to show how much fun it would be if there would be a multiplayer option.

Thank you for spending your time on reading this topic.

have a wonderful day!

You may want to change "necessary" to "beneficial" or "useful" or "fun".   It is definitively not "necessary".

I'd like to see a coop multiplayer, e.g. all players manage one colony by assigning tasks together. This doesn't require any rebalancing, just some netcode to syncronize game state between all players.

The only thing I would like from multiplayer is if different players were on different asteroids etc and could "Ship" rarer resources gathered by high tech to another in some sort of trade thing(Even then at the current tech tier it takes about 15 cycles to complete tech), otherwise I dont see much of a way they can make this multiplayer that doesnt complicate the game.

DST was still the same game there were just more people etc.

I strongly disagree. I played the crap out of both DS and DST (330+ and 160+ hours, respectively), and I found DST frustrating and disappointing.

I think ONI would be an even worse candidate. It just seems like you would end up at cross purposes way too often, and unlike DS/DST, I can't see anything to be gained at all from multiplayer.

Also, I would really rather see development focus stay on single-player, particularly considering how unfinished the game is at this stage.

Who are you including in this? I think a majority of the community would disagree.

I don't know if you're making a joke here, but this thread is about 40% bickering, and 60% "no it will never work".
