What's your favorite way of playing multiplayer? - Lemmy.World

I started a server with some friends and I pretty quickly realized I’d prefer to have my own spaghetti than work on someone else’s, so I ran off. Do you prefer working closely with people or do you have more fun making factories in far-off lands? It almost sounds like I’m defeating the purpose of multiplayer, but there’s a whole map we can build on! And I’m sure my friends appreciate when I send them truckloads of plastic and rubber from the coast while they were working on space elevator stuff in the fields.

I’ve done several now with friends. I keep having one friend we play with regularly, but there have been a few that have spun off. Satisfactory is a… really weird game to multiplayer with.

For the most part my buddy and I split and do separate factories, with a big todo pile that we can pull from, but sometimes we’ll pair up and do something together. We do have a set of unspoken rules that I wrote down here somewhere in this community…

I know you would drive me bonkers lol, one of them is “Organized, no spaghetti, and no clipping”

I like those rules, I might ask my friends to adopt them cuz I do prefer everything to be nice and organized.

Found it, my full rules:

What are your multiplayer rules/strategies? - Lemmy.World

Every time a new update drops, my friends and I set up a server and play together. We have some basic rules, like don’t touch each others factories. And we have strategies like building a shared rail system where we set up stations at our personal factories to trade manufactured items with each other. Does anyone else do this kind of thing? If so, what rules do you play by, and what other things do you do in general, to make it fun in a multiplayer setting?

Nice, thank you!! I forgot about this post hehe.
