Question Can we play KSA in multiplayer?

Мultiplayer???

Not yet. Maybe some day!

Multi-player in these kind of games is more of a hack then a feature. Any game that involves some kind of time warp makes multiplayer a vastly more complex undertaking. That's why games like Farming Simulator & Valheim make everyone sleep at the same time. With people on different times the game needs to maintain an instance of that time. Then you add the major problem of, what if I warp ahead and start putting a station on a planet. You, in the past, don't see it. You start building a station in the same spot. Me being in the future should see anything done in the past. It wasn't there when I warped but as I start building my base things just start popping in. That breaks my immersion and probably crashes my game. Don't look to see multi-player anytime soon. As much as we want it, I know from playing KSP mods and being a coder, that it's probably not going to happen.

Rocket has said that there will be multiplayer. Time warp will be synced between all players. Might take some time, though.

We should get Darklight (DMP mod for KSP) on board...if we can pry him away from his ham radio that is.
