Mechanica multiplayer has now fully released! Thanks for much for the patience as multiplayer has been developed - networking a game like this has proven to be quite an interesting challenge.
Now that multiplayer has released, my focus will be introducing a lot more content over the next couple of months. I will be introducing more machines, base-building options, defenses, crafting components and more.
After I have introduced a sufficient amount of content I will start work on an entirely new map. I will likely release this map while it is quite small and expand it over time with incremental updates. This map will be much more densely packed and higher quality than the current one - I am really excited to get to work on it.
