    So, although my options on the road are limited (and timing gets weird), this is one that my laptop can handle easily enough and... presumably... permit online play over sometimes limited bandwidth connections.

    To the point: anyone interested in trying out the Rimworld multiplayer mod and/or know much about it?

    I haven't played Rimworld and didn't know they had multiplayer, but it sure sounds like something our group could enjoy. Can you post more details on what we can expect from Rimworld MP? Specifically, how many people does it allow on one server. Is a dedicated server recommended? Any other important details like this would be nice.

    Unfortunately my knowledge of the technical details are sketchy, but it looks like the various players can run their own colonies on the wider map, and interact with each other in some fashion. Last article I pulled up made mention that everyone could do anything on each others colonies, so some self discipline is neccessary.

    I'll share more on it when I know more, but my immediate goal is to see if it's also on anyone else's radar.
