Lobby types

Before creating a lobby, you need to know what type of lobby you are creating. At the time of this publication (1.1.*) there are only 2 lobby types, via STEAM (available only for the Steam version) and LAN (available for the Steam and Android versions)

How to change or lobby type

Changing the lobby type is simple, just go to the settings in the main menu.

Then click on the Multiplayer tab and you will be able to change which configuration you want.

Pros & Cons of STEAM

The STEAM version is very stable and does not need any external application to connect with people outside your network, but this only works for players who have the STEAM version.

Pros & Cons of LAN

The LAN type usually has connection issues, and you need an external application to play with people outside your network. The only advantage of LAN is that it works on all current platforms.

Creating a lobby

To create the lobby just click on the following button in the main menu

For someone to enter your room they will need to discover your ID/IP

How to know your ID (STEAM Type)

To know your ID in STEAM is simple, just press this button and the room ID will be copied to your COPY AND PASTE

How to know your IP (LAN Type)

Knowing your IP is much more complex and will require many more steps.

How to know your IP on PC

To find out your IP on your PC we recommend the Radmin VPN application but it can be any application of your choice.

Once in the app you will know your IP here. Of course, you will need to create a room within the app to play with people outside of your network, but if the person is already in your network then it will not be necessary.

How to know your IP on ANDROID

Knowing your IP on Android requires even more steps. We won't recommend any Android apps, but we will show you how to know your IP so you can play with people on the same network.

  • Enter network settings

  • Click this button on the network you are connected to.

  • You will be able to see your IP here, it should be a sequence of numbers like 123.456.789.123

How to connect

Now you just need to send your ID (if you are using the STEAM type) or IP (if you are using the LAN type) to whoever will play with you (the person needs to make sure that they are using the same type of server as you). After that, the person who will join just needs to copy the number you sent and press the following button
