at first I want to say thank you to all devs I Love this game.
I haven't seen something like this since Minecraft and its even better.
Now a thing I want to share with you.
I'm playing the game most time with a friend in Multiplayer and always at after a couple in game hours(85h atm) we have a problem when we want to play again. The loading screen.
The map getting big an we need to wait for like 20 min with loading and then we think WHY we are doing this
![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif)
our suggestion is
is it possible to implement a check into the Mp game that when a new player join the game, its start to look into all save files and look for a identical save /autosave (ingemetick, playtime, mods)
After this run a quick check like "if loading_time > lost_ingame_time then" a checkbox to the player "a identical save was found you will lose xxx min playtime if you load it. Do you want to load the save? Yes / No"
the same could be used for desyncs ore something like that.
The new background loading for the host do only save his time but not mine so this inst ideal
One last thing to the fast forward mechanic
do you think about to use it for like a "bead" that when all players are in it skips a couple min playtime with fast forward.
It will provide a opportunity to get rid of waiting for resources to get processed but with the risk to wake up and biters are waiting for you

I hope this isn't a double post if it is pls remove it
