Some quick notes about MTaS Multiplayer

Don't have any pics yet, but here's what I've noticed:

Mi-an's area is mostly empty of equipment. Mason is still there (unable to be befriended still) but we have his workshop area and I have not found where he's supposedly building things.

Missing places: Eufala Salvage (fixed in an early co-op mission), the barn on the Wandering Y Ranch, the entire train station and about half the tracks, the bridge over to the Gecko Ruins area (for some reason our character is able to get to Sandrock from there, have no clue why), the apartments where a bunch of characters live, part of the outside of the Blue Moon Saloon (also another early mission), Construction Junction, the barber shop, By The Stairs, Amirah's pottery shop, the museum, the Golden Goose, Fang's place, the bridge between town and the tracks, the water tower, and the shooting range outside the Civil Corps.

The stage outside the Blue Moon exists but currently Matilda is holding her Tuesday-Thursday sermons at the steps of City Hall for some reason.

Missing characters so far: All of Rocky's staff (Pebbles exist so I presume Krystal does too - I just haven't seen her), Amirah, Arvio, Grace, Jensen, Pablo, Pen (admittedly I could have just missed him), and Ernest. On the other hand, Trudy is there from the beginning, as is Banjo and Meerkat. From one of the missions, it looks like we get Nia permanently in Multiplayer (as opposed to single/solo player where she only shows up for 3 days currently).

Main missions take a backseat to co-op missions (I've seen 2, not counting the beginner missions - one where Elsie straight out gives you a fish trap, and one where Trudy hires you on as essentially assistant mayor). You can't take a solo commission until you're level 15. You gain knowledge points the same time at level 5.

I was a bit off on that last one. The missions with the orange label that the singleplayer game uses are solo missions in multiplayer. You get a few solo missions but everything else is co-op until you're player level 15 where you can take solo commissions.

The tutorial is, interestingly, the same stuff more or less as the Portia tutorial - a pickhammer, an axe, and a furnace, interrupted with a tutorial on how to use the commissions board.

The abandoned ruins for Multiplayer is The Breach (just like it was in the previous open multiplayer). You do have to dig it out before you use it. It's possible to enter the Breach with multiple characters or solo, but apparently if you enter the multiplayer version you get tin two levels higher up in the mines than solo, where you get tin at the same level (3) as the solo game. The Breach uses a lot of the same structure as the Eufala Salvage Abandoned Ruins, but mixed up a bit so don't depend on your knowledge of that place for this version.

You can build things buildings without having Construction Junction up and going. (See note below about controllers.)

You gain rep points for talking to people as well as building things. This makes sense. You're also very far behind in the rankings so you'll want to balance talking out with building.

Your ranking for what you can do is based on your workshop level, not your personal level.

You gain access to some things by leveling up your workshop, but for others you'll still need to visit Qi's machine.

I was a bit vague on the above - as you gain workshop levels, you gain the ability to research certain things - so for example, you don't immediately have access to the dew collector blueprint. You still have to use data discs to have Qi research the devices.

Buying blueprints costs workshop points, not gols, at the Commerce Guild. And those blueprints include bronze bars, for some reason. (Interestingly enough, not the feather duster, which is either available from the beginning or just shows up at some point at your workstation.)

Hugo sells the bronze axe and pickaxe, simple weapons, blueprints for weapons (I think they cost gols rather than the workshop points), and for all of us who hate that stupid bronze blade, yes, he sells those.

You can get these neat things that allow you to get NPCs to cooperate on... something. Trudy gives you one free, and the rest can be bought with reputation points at City Hall. ETA: You use these coupons to get these NPCs to give you something related to your specialty for a certain period of time.

Knowledge points are like single player, but you're not restricted to whatever skill you were using. So no matter if you've been fighting monsters, carving out ruins, or doing co-op missions, you can apply the point to anything - you can gain combat skill, for example, for just being good at digging things out. ETA: In the multiplayer version, you gain knowledge points like you did in Portia - 1 per level.

Note to Steam Deck users/controller users: While most of the game works just fine on controller (I've been running it with no problem on Steam Deck), the building placement gives you an error message if you try to use a controller. So instead of trying to place a building on Steam Deck extremely clumsily, you cannot place it at all.

Pathea is aware of the popularity of Sandrock on Steam Deck and is working on controller support for the multiplayer. (Hopefully it'll get fixed on singleplayer too, I have custom controls for this kind of thing but it's still annoying.)

Some Backstory for my MTaS builder:

Alyssa us actually more or less a survivor of the Age of Corruption. Her father was a scientist working for the government who was tasked with developing cryo-pods for the rich elite to sleep in until the war they caused was over. Well by the time the bombs dropped, only two of the pods were done and her father said "screw it", shoved Alyssa (14 years old at the time) into one pod and laid down in the other and put the two of them to sleep.

Unfortunately, when the building collapsed, his pod was crushed, but hers miraculously remained undamaged and active, until centuries later, Logan's father, Howlett, found her and brought her to Sandrock, where they at first assumed that she was dead. Howlett and Logan wanted to help bury her, out of respect, but Sandrock's head scientist at the time was like "that's a lovely sentiment, but ultimately unnecessary, because she kind of… woke up just now." And the first time she stepped outside, she had to shield her eyes because she hadn't seen natural light in such a long time. So Logan took off his hat and out it on her head, to help her get her eyes used to the brightness. Later, during the events of the game, that becomes their "thing". Whenever he notices her get upset, he gives her his hat, as a reminder that while her blood relations are all long gone, she still has people who care about her.

After a few weeks or so she was shipped off to Highwind to be studied and questioned, and was taken in by her adoptive parents. Only to move back to Sandrock to help with rebuilding (and reconnect with the sweet boy who lent her his hat) ten years later.

So say Hi to Alyssa. She is 24 years old (if you ignore the time she was in cryo-sleep)

Her pets are Coco the owl and Pipsqueak the meerkat

She was briefly dating Pen (but that was all a ruse to maybe get some information from him for Grace and Logan, which sadly didn't work)

She has a huge crush on Logan, ever since her teens

And her best friends are Unsuur and Burgess
