Multiplayer and plugins without login in the game

[mcgiwer]

Hello. My proposal is that access to the plugins and multiplayer mode should not be dependant from if the user is logged in the game or not.

If a user would like to host local server to play with friends without accessing Factorio network, then login should not be required.

Similiar thing goes for accessing any plugins. I don't see any meaning in need to login in the game, while same thing is avaliable without the website without it.

Above would also solve the issue in with when the person is unable to login then some game functionality becomes disabled

This is possible, but you have to disable user verification on the server.

By plugins you mean mods? You have to log in to download mods, both ingame and on https://mods.factorio.com.

I think it's a fair license check. It's way fairer than any drm or other similar measurements couldve been.

Hello and thanks for the answer.

I had made this proposal due the recently reported issue making me unable to login into the game, even if I have a valid license and have given correct login and password (I had even tryed the hashed key displayed in my profile). Neither had worked

You don't need to log in to play multiplayer, you need to to play on servers with user verification.

Sorry for not answering earlier, but there was an blackout here, plus I was in the middle of changing the internet provider.

I'm currently on phone, so I rewrite a brief output of the given command.
After the header and SSL-Session, Start Time and Timeout: 300 sec, there was a message:

```
Verify Return Code: 20

read:errno=0
```

There was an additional response in that other thread, and you should respond in that thread to keep it all together.
