We all know the classics, Mine Craft, Rust, Stardew Valley, etc. What are some one's you see people less aware of are self hostable?

Im kinda confused there. On steam the devs recently posted an update, that MP is now available, but it seems that it has been for a while?

Was it in beta up until now or was it fan made?

    The devs typically take a long time between releases, and the latest version, build 42 came out this year (4 years after build 41), and initially this new version didn't have MP support. So the recent announcement is about adding MP for build 42, but MP was already available in previous versions.

    So, they had multiplayer, and it worked very well, but then they went through a whole bunch of major reworks to underlying systems that broke multiplayer, and they basically went "Yeah, that's gonna stay broken for a while until we get all this shit done, please be patient."

    They are between builds.

    B41 stable has been out for ages with multiplayer support. It's the current version and what you get if you don't opt in to experiential builds.

    On unstable builds, the devs remove multiplayer initially until they think it's good enough. B42 unstable is in active development and just recently added multiplayer support.

    B42 is still a bug-ridden crapshoot though, stick with 41 if you want to play online.
