How it plays
Up to four engineers share one world, often with one person planning factories while others gather, build or lay conveyors.
Planning needs talk, but much of the building is calm.
Each player needs a copy.
On PC a dedicated server keeps the factory available when the host is offline; the PlayStation and Xbox versions have no dedicated servers and do not play with PC.
