Want to play multiplayer but don't want

Hi! This reminds me Team Competition mod by MFerrari:
https://mods.factorio.com/mod/team_competition

Would be nice if you'd add a comparison with that mod to better understand which and when to choose

Hey, yeah that mod is specifically for competition between teams (mostly) and has a bunch of special scenarios and a lot of other team management features. I believe it requires all players ready to play when the game starts, but I'm not 100% sure on that. From what I can tell, it only allows a fixed number of teams (2/4/8) in fixed locations.

Mine is purely just focused on cooperative vanilla gameplay, letting players join and leave at anytime, locations are randomly placed with some player choice involved. I wanted to add minimal setup overhead and feature bloat.

So basically, mine is very much like playing the normal game in multiplayer, except you don't all start in the center of the map together and players can be on different forces if they choose so they can have their own research progress. But there is no PvP.

MFerrari actually credited me as the inspiration for their mod 🙂

Based on your question, I went ahead and updated my mod page to add more information. Hopefully this helps players understand what my mod does.

if only this was available all those years ago when I still had friends
