How to play in multiplayer mode?

The game's menu has a tab with a co-op mode, but these buttons are currently unavailable.

Until the developers enable searching for servers, there is only one way to play Astroneer in a multiplayer mode - you need to invite people from your friends list. This applies to both platforms. On PC, you need to invite a player on Steam, and on Xbox One through the Xbox Live service. It is also worth knowing that the game doesn't offer cross-platform function - users of different platforms can't play with each other. Also, note that the game does not create a separate save file for multiplayer - your co-op progress will be saved on the device of the person who invited other players to the game.
