1) Comment on this post if you intend to join the game!
(if you already did, don't need to do it again)
If possible, with estimated UTC join time and how long you think you can play (half hour? few hours? all day?) So far, only 1 person has made clear the intention to join the game. If it looks like I'll be playing mostly alone, I'll probably open up the game to all viewers.
2) Update to Factorio version 0.18.12
Make sure you have the this version installed, or you won't be able to join the game. I'll use the EvoGUI mod which displays play time and evolution (as seen in my videos). Mods will be automatically synced, but to speed up the process, you could already install EvoGUI and disable any other mods.
3) Does your multiplayer work?
Try joining a public, non-password protected game and see if you can join. Some firewall/defender/port forwarding settings can block your ability to connect to multiplayer games (I'm not very technical (got help myself), so I can't help you set it up correctly!)
4) Have fun!
Hope to see you on Saturday!
