      And that would be a separate save.

      You might be wondering what happens in multiplayer with these settings.

      And so for multiplayer games, the host or the admin, the admin on dedicated servers, can enable AGS in the exact same way as single player

      You can start a new game with AGS enabled, or you can convert an existing save into an AGS enabled save.

      However, clients will not have access to any AGS enabling settings at all on a save that does not have AGS enabled.

      But if a save file is in AGS mode, clients will have access to all of the AGS settings.

      So there is an obvious potentially problematic situation here where perhaps the admins might want control over AGS settings,

      but they don't want the clients to have control over AGS settings.

      Currently, as the implementation is today, there is no solution for this.

      Everyone who's in the game has access to all the AGS settings, so this is something that you will need to keep in mind if you are a host and you play with friends or if you run a dedicated server.

      If you're gonna run AGS settings, you need to bear in mind that, you know, your friends or the people in your server can change these settings.

      And we also have a little icon on each of the settings, which sort of show which ones, which settings affect everyone on the server, and which settings only affect the individual player.

      Because some settings only affect your game, but some settings affect everyone else's as well.

      And so, like, the obvious, like, you know, solution for this is some sort of, like, permissions or roles system or something like that.

      And that's something that we've, you know, been eyeing for some time.

      And...

      I don't know what the solution for this will end up being, but right now we just don't have it.

      And it is something that we want to implement a solution for in the future.

      But right now there's just no no concrete plans on that.

      OK, so that is just how it is right now.
