Hey Astro Colonists!
The build with more improvements is here! It is adding GAME MODES to the multiplayer and polishing the game even further with more QOL, fixes, and new graphics.
MULTIPLAYER GAME MODES
Player HOST
It is finally possible to select the desired gameplay mode when hosting the game.
Every player that joins the lobby can see "mode" on the right side!
Dedicated Server
It is possible to configure a server to start any gameplay mode by enabling two flags in the ServerSettings.ini:
- FreeConstruction=True
- Sandbox=True
