Hello, I heard on reddit that co-op is not a planned feature for this game, but I think it should be and I have an idea that could be a great addition for the game to boost popularity. I think co-op would be extremely fun if it allowed multiple players to colonize the same map and interact in 3 ways #1 trading, either via sending a caravan party (also a suggestion if co-op is a viable idea) or via comm console. #2 assisting via sending your pawns to aid other players if they have say a raid or just need more pawns for rebuilding or whatever. and #3 of course, a chat so you can actually ask for help and communicate.

The main problem with this idea in my opinion would be the way time works on co-op, 1 person pausing for everyone would be extremely annoying, but 1 person pausing while others can continue playing may lead to exploits. I would prefer the time management to be personal not co-op but like I said, could lead to exploits such as 1 person pausing raid while the other(s) play until they reach a point where they're available to send backup.

Someone on reddit also mentioned that it would be hard to do this since it's already released on steam, however to make it easier I'd suggest making this DLC similar to "Don't Starve Together" because I personally would love to pay say $5-10 for this mode.

Last notes: Poll above is to see how popular of an idea this would be for the community to either motivate or de-motivate the addition of it. If you have any additions you'd like to add or just comments then don't forget to post!
