Project Overview
Fallout 4 Together is a prototype multiplayer framework experiment for Fallout 4.
The first target is not full co-op. The first target is a controlled test where two clients can connect to a local server and see each other as synced actors in a custom test cell.
Core Idea
Fallout 4 remains the client application. A native F4SE plugin reads local player state and communicates with an external server.
The server tracks connected players and broadcasts relevant state to other clients.
A Creation Kit plugin provides test cells, placeholder actors, scripts, and controlled test content.
