Description
Survival Engine + Farming Engine + Multiplayer
Important: Multiplayer and networking is a lot more advanced! Adding your own features will require a good knowledge of C# and Unity. If you are a beginner, I strongly suggest to start with the offline version of the asset:
Survival Engine
Farming Engine
Upgrade Discount
If you already own Survival Engine or Farming Engine (offline version), you get a $49 discount when buying this asset. This discount does not stack with other Unity Store sales. The discount will be added automatically to your cart if you buy the asset with the same account.
Networking Options
-Peer to peer (including LAN)
-Dedicated Server (can be hosted anywhere)
-Relay Server (using Unity Relay Services)
Lobby Server
The lobby helps players to find each other and connect to a game, instead of connecting directly with IP address. There are 2 available lobby options:
-Unity Services Lobby
-Dedicated Lobby Server
Networking Framework
Survival Engine Online is built on top of Netcode for GameObjects, the official Unity networking framework. Some features have been reworked, like the object system and spawning system, in order to add features and make it easier to work with.
