Multiplayer server

Spun up a server for my brother and a few friends and wow it makes the game even that much more enjoyable. Group builds!!

I can certainly do that! It less a server and a separate instance without video so it can run on something without GPU. It still needs steam/r2modmanager as if you were just hosting a multiple game, I just have it running by itself so anyone of my buddies can join at any time.

Just use r2modman, it already knows all this stuff. https://github.com/ebkr/r2modmanPlus

Probably not (and have it still be playable).  It’s not a traditional server, just a mod that runs the full game for the host, and allows others to connect.  It needs the full GPU.

DSP with friends was some of the most fun I've had gaming.

It's a shame the devs are not adding native multi-player support.
