Multiplayer mod or update in the future?

[Kieron31]

can anyone tell me if there is a multiplayer mod or will multiplayer be coming in the future?

I can 100% guarantee that there will never be a multi-player mod XD As for a multi-player update, I think Tynan has said no, but I am not 100% sure.

Depends on what you define multiplayer as.

Multiple people issuing commands / viewing the same map simultaneously, really not going to happen. It should possible but would be an insane amount of work so I really doubt we will see a mod or base game implementation any time soon, maybe leave this for Rimworld 2.

What would be more possible is asynchronous multiplayer. Being able to send personnel / equipment to another colony, where it would then be controlled by the new Player or AI.

I am working on a solution for moving things between your own colonies, the base of it is working, it just needs some GUI and logic work.

If you were to combine this with a web server to transfer the files you could get that working as basic multiplayer trading.

cant really talk about a mod-anything can happen there
but tynan has said(not sure exactly were-just bits and pieces in certain threads)
that if there is multiplayer,it will be co-op not pvp
but also that its really unlikely
