    @Leepicthebaconeepic Just add Multiplayer MOD no need of limits. Guys with less RAM better go with normal settings, if they experience problems let them fix it themselves. Multiplayer has to be there!

    @Playerculun4567 I feel offended because a pc in my stup(Id) country almost costs 39,000+, go to Philippines, put the president to sleep and disguise as him, declare that prices should be lowered as pc's would have cheaper prices like USA, after the declaration tell the government agents that we will not talk about this later, escape and let the president wake up, I might have triggered NBI and CIA agents after this comment is posted and Government hackers are probably gonna hack into my acc and track my location.

    Multiplayer should be implemented into the game, it should have an account system and report system for players who show off innaprop builds, as for mobile, mobile devices with over 4 Gigabytes of ram or higher should have multiplayer that has an part limit of 0 - 500 parts, as for the devices below 4 GB ram, multiplayer should not show up onto the title immediately, players with Mobile Devices below 4 GB Ram must turn on Dev Console and activate a Multiplayer code that will make the Multiplayer Button show up on the title, also players without an account will not have access to multiplayer.

    Welp, they wont because if they add it they can crash like, people would use huge creation and it would crash mobile device also if there is the nuke guy who nuke server or carpet bomber, it would crash or may burn mobile device. Now stop asking about multiplayer for mobile. And much mod no longer support for mobile device.

    @DaModder01 true
    But for this specific type of game, it is not as popular as others, such as FPS and RPG. Not many players would be interested in this game, they probably won't want to pay a significant amount just for the sake of multiplayer, they might as well find other games with multiplayer that are their own interest and or without paying. Unless those players are rich and won't mind using their own money.
    So even the devs add multiplayer, the total player base would just increase a little. Maybe enough to cover the cost of some cheap servers.
    I may be underestimating :)

    And most gamers like multiplayer. So if the dev's run multiplayer on select mobile devices, more mobile players would be willing to play the game.

    @DaModder01 ah yeah if you can run it, what about others?
    Not everyone can run that number of parts as well as some AI on the game.

    By the way, if you suggested having a server of a small group of players in a multiplayer, how are you going to host a server? You cannot get a PC user to do it because the simpleplanes version on PC is actually a "completely different game" from the version in mobile, so I don't think a mobile user can join a PC user in game. The devs can do it but they gotta make sure that it is a worthful investment. You see, having a server is not really cheap, so if they have multiplayer in the base game, it must be able to attract more players and gain more revenue, and if it can attract more players, then it sure is worth to have extra server for players to host multiplayer servers.
    Correct me if I'm wrong :)

    @destroyerP But did you read the part I wrote that said with plenty of AI. Meaning more parts and more physics.
    Meaning my phone could run it.

    @DaModder01 I was thinking about that too. That could probably work, but I'm not sure if the mechanics behind the multiplayer would add on the burden to the CPU. 600 parts on a single plane in single player vs 200 parts plane from 3 players in multiplayer, the one in multiplayer would probably need more processing speed.
    And you would also have to consider the calculations of the physics on 3 separate planes.

    @destroyerP The devs could add a small part count, like up to 200 parts, and also maybe only 3 players on a server, meaning there could only be up to 600 parts at a time, and my phone is perfectly fine with 600 parts and plenty of AI, which add more parts, with the exception of slight lag when AI is created.

    @DaModder01 you can't just compare like that, in terms of FPS you get in the game. On other games that has multiplayer, some or most mobile phones will have enough CPU to run the game smoothly. Because for those mobile games, like asphalt 8 in multiplayer or mobile legends, each player that is inside the game will add on "a fixed amount of power" require for your CPU to render in your game. And yeah you still won't see a drop in FPS is probably because each player would only add on just a small computing power to your phone which is almost nothing. But in simpleplanes, that would be a different case. If the devs add multiplayer in simpleplanes, the player will have their freedom to choose how many parts he or she wants to play in the multiplayer. That means, if a player joins in your server, the amount of the computing power your phone need to render his or her plane will depend on how many parts (as well as how many moving parts) the player has. If the player decides to become a jerk and spawn a thousand parts plane, it may completely crash your game (unless you are using a phone with a powerful CPU). You have to keep in mind those players with low end phones, they could get a low FPS with just a few hundred parts.

    @destroyerP There are already multiplayer games out there for mobile. Simpleplanes should be no exception.
