Public multiplayer games? (infosec.pub)

After MANY hours of single-player playthroughs, I decided to join one of the public multiplayer games. It was a bit crowded and overwhelming (but very cool – so much creative engineering in there 🙂), and I had no idea how to jump in and contribute.

I almost never play any multiplayer games, so this might be a dumb question, but... How does this usually go?

I've played a few public games before. Realistically if you don't join in the first two hours of a run the base will already be so large with so many different expansion operations going on that it's hard to keep up or have fun. Especially because so many people have megabase blueprints they just keep rubber stamping down.

Its more fun to have a close group you play with regularly and can schedule online times with.

Ah, that makes a lot of sense. This base was huge on every planet.
