Voting on our support portal for the feedback and suggestions you find important is a great way to contribute to the future development of Space Engineers.

Q: Why can’t Space Engineers support as many players as other multiplayer games?
A: 16 players is our recommended setting for default multiplayer scenarios. 

There are very specific technical requirements for Space Engineers. Worlds may have many moving and interacting objects with real-time physics. Comparing system requirements of Space Engineers with other games is not possible because there is no other game that supports such complex networked volumetric physics.

Q: Why can’t we use mods in the default multiplayer (why do we need to switch to experimental mode)?
A: There is no way we can guarantee that the MOD will not degrade or halt the game. Responsibility for the stability of a MOD is completely on the MOD author, and that’s why it requires experimental mode.
