I have been wanting this in BeamNG ever since i had the game for 1 month. I am bored and local multiplayer seems like a great idea! Like gmod, it could auto-download the game modifications that another player has and disable other mods.
Local Multiplayer is already available through multiseat, although its a bit primitive. Just enable multiseat under the gameplay menu.
like capkirk said there is multiseating witch is a kind of work around for it. but beamng will almost never get multiplayer. way down the line they have said they might try to. but no multiplayer right now.
its not possible to do online multiplayer atm. Also just so you know people have been waiting since 2013 for multiplayer
Wait and see, wait and see... By the way... if you have a question about something, especially if it is highly requested (e.g. multiplayer support) please search for it before you start a new thread about it. Just saying.
I know. But "Never" is a much more concrete answer for people that keep asking than "unlikely but not impossible".

Since you are new here, I will say this: the devs have said no to multiplayer since the creation of the game. It is a cool idea, but I doubt it will ever come, at least until computer hardware is good enough for it (even the best processors bottleneck in this game at the moment, and adding multiplayer won’t improve this)
