We've reached the Extended Multiplayer goal, which means that full Steam integration is going to be part of the game when it is released in 2022! This means that the game will integrate invites, messages, finding server and ranks!
Yes, there is going to be a multiplayer! It will be a part of Early Access release next year! Our next goal is to provide complex mechanics of constructing modular vehicles. It will work similar to TerraTech where you attach components and this just works. We've created already few prototypes testing how vehicles with 3, 4, 5, 8 wheels are behaving. The same principle applies to the smaller thrusters as well! I just cannot wait to see what type of vehicles people will create! Hope we will reach our next goal!
