multiplayer scenario

[Trokia003]

So I know that when it comes to multiplayer tynan has said "Probably never", but on the small chance he does end up doing it, what ideas do people have for implementing it?

My idea for a particular scenario would be 2 player co-op, where each player gets a single colonist, and spawns in the same location/world tile. All the buildings, research, and resources would be shared. work tasks (building, growing, plant cuting, etc.), animals, and colonists, however, would be separately managed. It would be interesting to see how people fair, maybe one person tries to get a colonist that is good at construction and research, while the other person gets someone who can grow and tame animals maybe.

Of course my specific scenario would need tweaks to events like a random person coming to the settlement (in this case give one person to each player, and double the number of enemies chasing after these random people)

Any thoughts or suggestions? like or dislike?
