Banished Multiplayer

BANISHED MULTIPLAYER

Play Banished together with other players:
- Share one town: everybody runs the same town together.
- Separate towns: everybody builds their own town on the same map - trade goods, share storage buildings and lend each other workplaces.

Every player's game runs the whole simulation in sync; only the players' actions travel over the network. If the games ever drift apart, the host's game is reloaded on everyone's PC automatically. Players can join a game that's already running.

THIS FILE IS ONLY HALF OF THE MOD
This .pkm holds the mod's windows and buttons. The multiplayer itself is a program file (dinput8.dll) that you get from the project page:
https://github.com/BarryBareth/banished-multiplayer
Download the newest release zip there and run Install.bat (it installs both files). Without the DLL, the main menu shows a reminder.

Needs Banished 1.0.7 (64-bit) and Windows 10/11. Everybody in a game needs the same version of the mod.

CONNECTING
- Steam: invite players through Steam; nobody's IP address is shared.
- Relay server: one person runs BanishedRelay.exe (in the release zip) and everybody connects to it with a room code.
- Direct (IP): the host forwards TCP port 7777; the others type the host's address.

The multiplayer is a DLL that hooks into the game (Banished's mod kit can't add code). Antivirus programs sometimes warn about that; the full source code is on the project page.

Bugs: use the bug button in the game, or open an issue on GitHub.
