Hello,
Before removing my suggestion please take in consideration that I've already took note of what have been said about multiplayer in the discord server already.

I simply make this suggestion that way you can (re ?)consider taking a look at making a multiplayer system.

For some players, a solo mode is already fun enough in a factory game, plus modulus which is a ZEN factory game, solo is good ENOUGH

The thing is that on some multiplayer games, factory games, such as Factorio, Satisfactory, Mindustry, etc... all these games have a multiplayer mode : why ? Because multiplayer is a fun way to play a factory managing game, with your friends !
Indeed these games have enemies, but still playing and managing a factory of endless possibilities such as Modulus would be great, that way you can think as a team, develop as a team, play as a team.

The multiplayer shouldn't be MASSIVE such as Factorio (where you can make servers going up to 100+ players), but maybe a satisfactory-like server management ? With 2/3/4 players MAX would make the game so lively and creative.

I'm a multiplayer guy, who loves multiplayer games and EVEN MORE multiplayer FACTORY games. Modulus is revolutionary in terms of factory-type gameplay and visual style, got very interested into its style since it came out on youtube previews.

I would love to play modulus with my friends in the same server managing the same factory. To me, I think that would be a plus.

Doesnt need to be in the very first version !!! Can be planned for later.

But again, for players like me that loves multiplayer > singleplayer, that would bring alot of juice to such a cool-looking game.

@dull gulch Simply putting multiplayer into anything will make it better, no doubt. The problem is that multiplayer is not simply put.
It is not about 2 or 4 or 100 players. It is the fact that putting 1 player into a multiplayer system is already 90% of the work and adding more players about 10%. The differences between developing a single-player game vs. a multiplayer one are ENORMOUS. And it is 99% of the time not a devision of "do we want that?". No, everybody wants that! It is 99% time, finance, architecture, resources, systems, knowledge and simply so much more work that it quickly exceeds the scope.
Im sure that once the game is released and considered a success, they will be thinking about maybe adding multiplayer in modulus 2 lol

I of course know how much time it would take a dev / team of devs to make a multiplayer system in their game, it was a suggestion for the game in general, not the very first version of modulus once it comes out

just like BeamNG development direction = solo based at first, then after a few years they added multiplayer
