Thank you!

I know when I share games, the account that owns the game has to be either offline or not currently in use for the shared games to be available on the other account. I believe this game can be played in offline mode, so it should be possible to play it on multiple accounts at the same time, so long as it's installed on each PC and the accounts are in offline mode.

Both have the same saves. It is the same steam account.

Arianrhod replied to Family sharing doesn't work May 30, 2023 @ 11:21:56 pm PDTNot sure I understand what the problem is then - family sharing is for letting other accounts "borrow" games while the "owning" account isn't using them

You cannot share across steam accounts. As far as I know.
Unless you share the saved file, which I have read can be done.
Or unless you share a steam account on several computers.
I have the same saves accessible on 2 computers using 1 steam account.
There is supposed to be a mod that allows at least 2 players to exist on 1 planet. I have not installed it, or any mods yet, but the devs have linked to it somewhere. In a pinned thread, iirc.

OK, clearly we're talking about two different things. What I'm talking about is a Steam feature (not specific to individual games) that allows a second account to access the games library of the "sharer". From the title, that's what I thought you were talking about. As for just using the same account and the same save on 2 different computers, I'm not sure what that would be called, but maybe some of the players who have more experience with the multiplayer mod might be able to help (might involve having to copy the save manually?)
