Multiplayer Mod (Alpha)

Oxygen Not Included: Conquer the Void Together with the Multiplayer Mod

Prepare to experience Oxygen Not Included like never before! The Multiplayer Mod introduces a revolutionary cooperative element, allowing you and your friends to manage a single, shared colony. Gone are the days of solo struggles; now, you can combine your strategic minds and collective efforts to overcome the challenges of asteroid survival.

Shared Colony, Shared Destiny

This innovative mod enables all players to have shared control over every aspect of your burgeoning colony. From assigning critical tasks to your duplicants to making crucial base-building decisions, every action is a team effort. What sets this experience apart is the freedom of perspective. Each player can independently explore and manage different sections of the base, with all actions seamlessly synchronized across the network. This means you can be optimizing your geothermal power grid while your friend is designing an efficient plumbing system, all within the same thriving (or struggling!) colony.

Key Features and Current Development

The Multiplayer Mod is currently in its Alpha stage, with ongoing development focused on enhancing the cooperative gameplay experience. Here’s what’s currently implemented:

• Core multiplayer functionality tested and functional with the base game of Oxygen Not Included.
• Synchronized UI elements, ensuring all players see consistent game settings, building menus, and tool interfaces.
• Integrated in-game overlays that display player information and provide diagnostics for any synchronization errors.
• Robust synchronization mechanisms, including periodic hard syncs and automatic saves to maintain colony integrity.

Future Horizons

While the current iteration focuses on the base game, the developers have ambitious plans for the future. Upcoming updates are slated to include synchronization for individual duplicants, allowing for even more granular control and coordination. Furthermore, support for DLC content is actively being worked on, promising to expand the multiplayer possibilities significantly.
