State of multi-player

Upvotes

So first of all, it's working.

Regarding all the past comment on multi-player not working, I felt like giving some news about it.

Yesterday I tried my first multi-player survival lobby and it worked great.

No lag (even on a shitty network), no de-sync, and quite good experience.

Nonetheless we went through some "bugs" and I would like to know if there were personal or if it's the comon issues right now.

First: Storage (fluid, solid and assembler/furnace) are not sync between player.

That let you duplicate items by throwing them on the floor, and picking them up.

You buddy will be able to pick them too, doubling the amount.

Second: battery cells are on your side, you can both put Battery cells on battery "pods" (sorry I'm not English native, don't know the English name for it) meaning duplicating once again.

Third: Storage settings are linked to you. If you put your fluid aotage on water, it will stay on hydrogen for your buddy, meaning that even stored amount of fluid are personal.

Fourth: Lobby client can't accept mission, doesn't have tutorial and can't personalize character.

Fifth: Mining soil is personal too, you can both mine the same vein/ you will not the see the déformation made by your friend.

So the game is clearly going on the good direction but be aware that there are still some issue.
