We have Don't Starve Together, Ultimate Chicken Horse on our list. Amogus is not an option, neither is Valheim (too time consuming for me)

    Valheim's the new hotness when it comes to this. Though the netcode is a bit rough rn from what I hear, especially for 6+ players. It's already a very solid title in the crafting/building/survival genre tho, especially for 20 bucks.

      Yeah having issues with the netcode right now, gets laggy with 5 or more people, specifically when you all go to the same area and load new stuff or have lots of items on the ground.

      But it sounds like they might be able to fix it pretty quickly. There's already some simple edits to a file that people are making that makes the game run smoothly. Unfortunately the simple dedicated server systems are instantly overwriting those files from backup, so you can't fix it on a dedicated server.

      Someone said the developers are talking about this issue, and since other people were able to fix it, it probably won't take the devs long to do something similar.

        Yeah from what I heard the bandwidth configuration has a pretty low cap by default in this build, so you can mitigate a lot of the rubberbanding and shit by just upping that in some configuration file

        If you tend to get sucked into crafting survival type games like I do, then it's probably a safe bet. But according to our other comrade it's piratable already, so that's always a good way to demo (especially since the whole thing's only about 1GB size).

          Yeah the way the graphics are done makes for some absolutely gorgeous wide shots. The devs were very crafty with how they designed it so that even relatively low-poly models and low-res textures can look good.

      Yeah one of my friends wanted to get me to play it but it requires daily involvement to be enjoyable and i don't like it enough to spend that much time in front of my pc.

        Fair. If you haven't gotten sucked into it pretty quickly (or can't afford the time to get sucked into it) then yeah you shouldn't force yourself along. Progression's pretty slow, at least with the current build.

        I actually got my friends into it, but by the second day IRL they blew past me. I don't like playing videogames every day of the week, so I get a lot of FOMO when I do play it. Monkey's paw situation.
