Multiplayer

Be the best forest you can be! Invite up to 250 glorious trees to join your forest. You can host a server and set the amount of trees that can join along with passwords and making the lobby private. Servers that are public will appear in a lobby list when trees click "Join". If a server is private you will only be able to join if that person is on your friends list or by invite.

For transparency, multiplayer is tested with 4 trees, but it should support up to 250.
