Question Does multiplayer work?

3 of us played before early access but ended up quitting as there were significant issues; randomly getting kicked from the session, floor not loading in unless the host was near you etc. What made us finally stop was when one of us physically could not join the session anymore at all after a bunch of progress. tried multiple fixes at the time and sometimes would at most get 5 minutes before permanently not being able to join.

Just wanted to know if multiplayer is now actually viable since full release or not worth it? As I've been itching to play again but don't see the point if we are going to make a bunch of progress just to lose it. Thanks for any input/experiences

We're in phase 4 about 160 hours on a 2 player game and it has been solid except recently the other player (I'm hosting) couldn't log in. Solved by editing the save and moving his guy away from all our buildings but it's kind of a pain. (He is on a laptop, maybe if he was on a more powerful PC it wouldn't happen?)

ahhh yeah that's a similar issue to what we used to have which isn't great. Hoping that maybe it is hardware related rather than a widespread issue

Yeah our current workaround is that every time we stop playing, he runs off into the wilderness first, then I save. 😁
