How it plays
Friends join the same world through a hosted game or a dedicated server, then split jobs like scavenging, farming, fixing vehicles and building defences.
Servers can switch PvP on or off, so a group chooses between a shared co-op base and a rougher open world.
It is in early access with frequent updates and some multiplayer bugs.
Each player needs a copy.
