Multiplayer rules?

I don't think the precise rules for MP games have been published.
I need information about the following:

1- Sharing money and experience points
- Whose money is spent when buying items, etc?
- Who gets money and experience points when a stage is completed?
- Do players get a share of profits or a salary?
- Does sharing depend on what the player has been doing, or is it equal sharing between all connected players?
- What happens to his share when a player disconnects?
- In a MP game, AI workers are disabled. Why does the host still have to pay their salaries in the monthly statement?

2- Modded missions
- Can the host start a modded mission? Before or after opening the server to players?
- What happens to players and host when a player tries to join a game if he does not have the modded mission?
- What happens if players are already connected and the host tries to load a modded mission?

3- Modded vehicles
- What happens if the host has a modded vehicle and some players do not have it?
- What happens if a player has a modded vehicle and other players do not have it?

The host pays everything.

- Who gets money and experience points when a stage is completed?

All players get payed and receive exp points but the host gets a much bigger share since it's his/her game and his/her money that is spent during the session.

- Do players get a share of profits or a salary?

Players (clients, not the host) get a 1/4 share of the profit

- Does sharing depend on what the player has been doing, or is it equal sharing between all connected players?

Equal sharing between all connected players.

- What happens to his share when a player disconnects?

Profit and experience points are credited immediately on receiving them. You don't lose anything when disconnecting.

- In a MP game, AI workers are disabled. Why does the host still have to pay their salaries in the monthly statement?

That's a fair point. We will change that.

Currently mods are not supported on multiplayer games. But we are working on this and will hopefully make it possibile with the next patch. I will answer the questions based on how it's planed:

2- Modded missions

Originally posted by Chacal:

The host can start modded missions before and after opening the server as long as every player has the mod mission

- What happens to players and host when a player tries to join a game if he does not have the modded mission?

If a player wants to join a game where a mod mission is active, he is asked whether he wants to subscribe to the mod, too. Players can only join games if they have the required mod missions.

- What happens if players are already connected and the host tries to load a modded mission?

The mod missions are synced so the master can only start missions that all players have subscribed to.

3- Modded vehicles

- What happens if the host has a modded vehicle and some players do not have it?

Like the missions the modded vehicles are synced so the master can only buy mod vehicles everybody has subscribed.

- What happens if a player has a modded vehicle and other players do not have it?

As the mods are synced, only mods can be used that everybody has subscribed to.

Thanks Herren for your quick answers.
I can't wait to try mods in MP games.

If I ever have some free time, I plan to make missions especially for MP, with a lot more work than the current missions.
For example:
- all materials, rebars and wall forms to be brought on site, not only a sample of each;
- all floors and walls to be poured;
- all sewer pipes and drain pipes to be installed, all trenches to be dug and filled back.
