Dirt Town co-op
Dirt Town supports online co-op for up to four players in the full Early Access release, whereas the standalone free demo is strictly single-player. Crews in the full game share the same persistent terrain sandbox to run multi-machine earthmoving chains, recover stuck trucks with tow chains, and race dirt bikes.

Lines about playing together
Attachable tow chains let one operator pull a teammate's loaded hauler or loader up steep, muddy grades during co-op sessions.
An Early Access side mission invites crews to sculpt a custom dirt bike track with earthmovers and race it together with friends.
In the full multiplayer sandbox, completed jobs and harvested site resources fund additional machines such as compactors and conveyors for the crew.
Four-player crew coordination
With up to four operators in the same world, one player can pioneer and auto-level the haul road in a dozer while a second operates the excavator or wheel loader at the pit and two others cycle articulated haulers to the drop-off pad. Splitting excavation, loading, and transport eliminates cab-swapping delays on long hauls.
Rain, puddles, and soft clay can bog down a heavily loaded truck on a climb. Stepping out on foot to hook tow chains between a dozer and a stalled hauler turns steep grades into a coordinated two-driver recovery without resetting the load.
Every trench dug, swamp drained, or dirt bike berm shaped during a session alters the shared terrain save. The full release also enables Steam Cloud and Family Sharing alongside Online Co-op, neither of which is active on the standalone demo app.
System notes for the Early Access build specify that an active internet connection is required for online multiplayer sessions, while solo sandbox play remains available through the Single-player mode on both Windows and macOS.
Once the main haul road is compacted and conveyors are running, four-player crews can use dozers and loaders to sculpt jumps, tabletops, and banked corners for the Early Access dirt bike side mission, then line up together to race the finished course across the modified terrain.
App 5471710 is scoped as a compact single-player testbed for the core dozer, wheel loader, and hauler physics on a small map. Multi-player, Co-op, and Online Co-op categories apply exclusively to the full Dirt Town app (5275590), where up to four operators can join the same mining and road-building sandbox.
Co-op crews in Early Access also benefit from on-foot tools that speed up route preparation: while one operator grades with the dozer, another player can step out on foot to drill anchor holes into boulders, hook attachments, or crush brush along the next quarry bench.
