Multiplayer games should have toggles to allow more than 4 people. Why do we need to install mods or change a 4 to a 6 in some config file?

This obviously doesn’t work for games like It Takes Two where more than 2 players would be senseless, but your survivalcraft game shouldn’t be limited in the same way.


If nobody is paying attention, then nobody will care about not getting paid. It may sound disappointing, but I’m sure a German who wants something specific can find ways to get to it.


Fantastic insight!! Makes perfect sense out of years of confusion. Thank you.


FU was the only mod I played with, and it worked as early as 2018 I think. It was a huge overhaul on massive features and build paths. I suggest a look if you enjoy the vanilla game.

Tons of new features too many to count


Funny that you say that. I opened the comments to mention how the final version never felt right to me. One aspect is that the final door is open from the beginning of the game. In my first (early access) playthroughs, the final door stayed closed until the story opened it.

I even played without frackin universe and it was still open on a new playthrough. I really hope it was my files and not a game change. Frackin universe build paths also got way worse and unnecessarily complicated over time, but that’s a different story.

I have much more good to say than bad about the game, but it felt better when I played back in 2016 for the first time and in 2018 with the mod.


I actually think that’s what they called Mario deluxe for the WII U. Definitely look into it before buying a 2nd copy of the same game like I did. I mean, I’ve 100%ed it a few times now but still I wish I knew it was the same.

In fact, it’s better on the Wii u. Player 2 can either play as a Luigi or play as god on the Wii pad. Putting down tiles and making the game dead easy.


Overcooked is only fun if everyone is terrible or everyone is great. It’s a great concept but definitely not going to work out for most groups.

For Mario kart, did you put on some bots? Without the NPCs, 2 player is lame, even if you are both quite good.

Have you played It Takes Two? This sounds like it hits your requirements.

For couch coop, I’d actually suggest Mario Deluxe over the very recent Mario Wonder if you wanted to try a side scroller. Wonder is great, but it’s couch coop is poorly implemented unless you are both good or both terrible as with overcooked. Deluxe doesn’t have that issue, in my opinion, due to the way the scrolling works in game. It might feel odd spending $60 on a 10 year old game from the WII U, but Nintendo originals always hold up well.


Then again a minute later, still very terrifying, and I just lost a shitload of zerglings to it.


A wise man once told me that technology isn’t about making simple things complicated. It’s about making complicated things simple.

The code for the prompt would probably be twice the size of the rest, and would take quite a bit more time than it would save. Sounds like you had the right idea in leaving it out. I can never keep myself to those obvious limits and it’s always such a waste automating for hours to save seconds lol


Not familiar with RDR2, but I’m into ahk, and you said that you change the keys every round. Would it be helpful to have a prompt ask you what your 5 keys have to be? That way you wouldn’t have to edit and rerun the program. Just control a again and it would open a new window asking what your keys will be.
