FAQ

Is the mod dead? No. There will be a formal announcement if the mod ever dies. No-progress does not mean the death of the mod. The mod is developed by the community, who all have lives outside of the mod. If you want something in the mod so badly, code it yourself! We accept any constructive PRs.

Is there PVP? Can I make a seperate faction? Currently everyone is cooperatively playing exactly the same game, with same maps, in the same faction. You can create multiple colonies.

Can mods be used in Multiplayer? Yes, but not all mods will work in multiplayer. Check out the spreadsheet in #welcome or use the #mod-check channel to find compatible mods. When playing a "modpack", all players need to use the same load order and also the host has to share their Mod_ configs with the other players. (See bottom of this for tutorial)

What is the maximum amount of players that can be online? We recommend 8 players max, but there is no limit.

Why does simulating take so long? Simulations takes place from the last autosave made, so if you do /autosave in chat before saving a replay or someone connects to your game it will speed up the simulation time. The same applies to resyncing, so if the host forces an autosave before someone resyncs it will also speed up their simulation time.

Can I donate to the project? Not the project itself, but you can donate to one of our head devs here.
