How it plays
Friends can play the campaign together on one team: one player builds mining lines, another designs defences, another pushes outward.
Public servers also run large co-op survival maps and team PvP.
Games are long and factories grow complicated, so it suits groups who like planning and optimising together.
It runs on modest PCs, and phone players can join the same servers.
