# Playing Rimworld Multiplayer ## Installation The easiest way is from the [steam workshop](https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1752864297). You can also install it manually by just grabbing the latest release from [here](https://github.com/rwmt/Multiplayer/releases) and unzipping it into your Rimworld mods folder. ## Hosting and Joining ### Steam The easiest way to connect is through Steam. Just host a world with the Steam option checked, and your friends should be able to shift-tab join on you. ### Direct Connect or LAN For direct, portforward UDP 30502 on your local address and give out your public ip to your friends to connect. When hosting the server, just type 0.0.0.0 in the host address box. LAN connections will show up in the LAN tab or the Multiplayer window.

Rimworld Multiplayer FAQ

Common Questions Is the mod dead? No. There will be a formal announcement if the mod ever dies. No-progress does not mean the death of the mod. The mod is developed by the community, who all have lives outside of the mod. If you want something in the mod so badly, code it yourself! We accept any constructive PRs. What happened to Zetrith? He's around doing his own thing, who knows, he might make an appearance every now and then if we're lucky. How can players connect? Players can connect through Steam, LAN, or Direct. To use direct connect, portforward 30502 through UDP or use a VPN like Hamachi.
