For host
First of all, you have to download Hamachi on its website, install it on your PC and launch it.

For host
1. Go to NETWORK tab and choose "Create a new network"
2. Name your network (required) and set a password (optional). Both can be anything.
3. Click "Create"

Then, you give the server name, password and IPv4 to your friends who also have Hamachi installed.
You can copy your IPv4 by right clicking on the top left of the program. There are 2 sets of IP numbers on top and IPv4 is the first one.

For example:

Network: Craftopia
Password (optional): 12345
IPv4 25.40.27.66

The program looks like this


For other players
For other players

1. Go to NETWORK tab and choose "join an existing network"

2. Fill all required details such as network name and password

3. Launch the game and go to MULTIPLAYER on the bottom right side



4. Choose "Join via IP"




5. Put put your friend's IPv4 in the box and click START button



---------------------------------------

And you're in!


Notes
  • Please note that when you're joining a server, all the players will have to wait for you to complete the connection. Personally, when I join my friend's server it only takes around 10 - 15 seconds, but if internet speed of the player joining the server is very slow, it can take up to 10 minutes.






    I'm usually the host and my friends can join without any issue (most of the time). This is my internet speed:



  • Free version of Hamachi can host up to 5 players including you, so only 4 of your friends can join your server at a time.

  • Last, but not least, this guide is dedicated to [SFW]LifeIsLikeABoxofChocolates, a friend who said "i read something about port forwarding. too advance for me and my lazy ass". So if he can do it, you can do it.

You don't need Hamachi or Parsec or any external software, the game has had Steamworks integration for at least 4 years.

parsec would work much better then hamachi

@Lakeey: I don't think so. Btw, the devs have implemented the in-game coop mode that doesn't require external program. I've tried it and it works well.

If you use this method can your friends join without having you being on for them to play?

@Zeromix: Thank you for your suggestion. Fortunately, the devs have already implemented and improved the COOP mode. Woohoo! Hope you guys enjoy the game.

Protip: Use Radmin VPN instead, this doesn´t have a user limit per network. :)

Just be advised programs like this are dangerous. If port forwarding IS too complicated and you would prefer a method like this, be aware you can be hacked much easier

I had to try hamachi cause everyone who joins my server cant rly see my movements but me as host can see how they move. its the same problem if any other guy hosts a server. I had to restart the game like 15x to be able to play multiplayer without moving like a stone

@DrGabbaGandalf88: I haven't played Craftopia for months, so I'm not sure if it still works. You can try other programs as suggested in the comments if Hamachi doesn't work.
