How do I install this thing?

  • Download Multiplayer.zip and unpack it into the Mods folder (in RimWorld installation folder)
  • In the ingame mod list, enable and order the mod right below Core (Core->Multiplayer->other mods)
  • The mod has no external dependencies

Here's a more detailed guide: https://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=6223.0

I've installed the mod, but don't have the Multiplayer button in the main menu. What to do?

  • Make sure you've downloaded the mod from here: https://github.com/Zetrith/Multiplayer/releases and not using the green "Clone or download" button.
  • Make sure the Multiplayer folder is not two levels deep (no Multiplayer in Multiplayer folder)

Is this mod released on Steam?
Not yet. A Workshop release will be available after the mod gets more stable.

Is it one faction only?
Currently everyone is cooperatively playing exactly the same game, with same maps, in the same faction.
Two player factions fighting will be more difficult to implement, because the game is hard coded in many places to only support one user-controlled faction. Nonetheless, PVP is still one of the main goals.

Are mods supported?
See mod support

Is dev mode supported in multiplayer?
Debug mode is available since version 0.4.

Is the storyteller enabled?
Yes.

Can I change my ingame username?
The username can be changed in the mod options.

Can I play singleplayer with the mod enabled?
Singleplayer games should be unaffected.

Which RimWorld version should I be using?
The same one as the host. The latest version is always recommended though.

What is the maximum amount of players online?
The mod is very lightweight and the number is probably quite big, but the default and recommended max is 8.

Where can I find X on my computer?
For Windows:

  • RimWorld installation: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\RimWorld\
  • Game's log file: [rimworld]\RimWorldWin64_Data\output_log.txt
  • Arbiter's log file: [rimworld]\arbiter_log.txt
  • Game's data (saves, replays and desync files): %USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\Ludeon Studios\RimWorld by Ludeon Studios\

Note that log files reset on game's startup.
