add section on how connecting to other players works
'''Multiplayer''' is an optional game mode in which 1–4 players can play in the same world over LAN or the Internet. Each player needs their own copy of the game (split-screen isn't supported), but GOG and Steam players can crossplay with each other. The player who created the world has the save file, can launch it in multiplayer mode, and can switch back to single-player anytime.

==Making connections==
===PC===
On Linux/Mac/Windows, you can connect to other players in three ways:
* When run through Steam, multiplayer farms hosted by your Steam friends will appear on the co-op join screen.
* When run through GOG Galaxy or Steam, an invite code appears in the in-game options. Other players can type that into the join screen to connect if they also have GOG Galaxy or Steam.
* You can connect by direct IP address. This may require an open firewall port or virtual LAN service like [https://www.vpn.net/ Hamachi].
===Switch===
On the Switch, you can connect to other players in two ways:
* Switch Online friends will appear on the co-op join screen if they're hosting.
* Via local communications play (no Switch Online account needed).
