| This article contains content on features that will be included in Alpha 0.11.0. |
|---|
| These features are confirmed, but not yet added to the game. |
The multiplayer feature will be introduced with v0.11.0 and will be thought only for Lan-parties or Low-latency internet, because there is no much synchronisation introduced.
There is no server needed. Anybody can join an existing game, if he knows the IP of the game. He connects to the game, the game stops and the second players game downloads the current map. If the first hoster stops, the second player can continue to play and the first player can rejoin at any time. If the game desynchronizes, the game stops.
