Co-op Multiplayer: Player Limit and Shared Bases

How many people can play together?

The official FAQ confirms up to four people in online co-op, and the Steam listing includes both single-player and online co-op. Four is the total advertised player count, not a promise of four guests in addition to a host. The game can also be played alone, so you do not need a full group to start learning its systems.

What do players share during an expedition?

The developer describes cooperation on building and operating the collective Cloud Cruiser. Friends can ride on a Wasp or fly together in separate craft. Before moving your base, agree where it is going and whether anyone is still exploring. Dividing navigation, gathering and maintenance is a useful crew arrangement, rather than a set of mandatory in-game classes.

Does that mean cross-play or split-screen is supported?

No such conclusion follows from the co-op label alone. The verified launch information establishes PC online co-op, but does not establish console cross-play, local split-screen, a standalone dedicated-server package or Steam-to-Epic joining instructions. Check the actual invitation interface and current official announcements before buying a second copy for a particular connection arrangement.

What should you check when a group has trouble?

Confirm everyone is using compatible game builds before troubleshooting the route itself. The developer distributes a separate experimental branch, so compare branch selection as well as the version label. Keep a record of who hosted, what the crew was doing and the visible error. Use the in-game reporting tool for reproducible game bugs; do not share account credentials to work around joining issues.
