Windrose offers a lot of potential for those who enjoy setting sail with their friends. But how does it work and what is possible? We will show you!
What can you do in multiplayer in Windrose? Windrose can be played completely in co-op, and you can explore the world together and build your bases and ships. One player hosts the corresponding world and then invites the others with an invite code.
How many players can play Windrose? You can play with up to 8 players on the official servers, although the game itself recommends a maximum of 4 for a smoother experience. If you manage a dedicated server, you can increase the number of players as well.
Can you invite players to the solo world at any time? In principle, you can. For that, you just need to go to “Host Game” in the main menu and select your existing world instead of a new one. However, you should note that not every progress is transferred for all players, and some things are not synchronized.
How does progress work in co-op? Individual progress depends on when players enter an existing world. If the host has already been playing for a while, the progress of the other players will not be automatically adjusted. However, you have a few options to customize your gaming experience:
- Shared quest progress
- You can choose in the options whether you want to share your quest progress. This works for all quests marked as co-op quests. If one player completes the objectives, the quest is also completed for all other present players.
- You can also disable the option so that everyone has to complete their quests by themselves.
- Note: If you take breaks in between and your host continues to play without you, you will have to catch up on missed quest objectives next time before you can continue synchronously.
- You can also adjust how and whether the enemies scale with you and the number of players. You can make them either stronger or weaker.
Do new players take on the host’s progress? No, if you join a world later, you have to catch up on completed quests before you can continue together.
Do all resources respawn in multiplayer? Yes, you don’t have to worry about emptying the world together. As long as the resources are not too close to a campfire, they respawn regularly.
Can multiplayer worlds be continued without a host? Yes, theoretically that is possible. It’s not very simple, but if you want to continue playing without your host friend, catch up on progress, or just farm, you can do that as well. However, it’s a bit more complicated and comes with some limitations. Everything you need to know is here in the guide: Windrose: How you can dive into your friends’ world even without a host
