You’re in luck. You can play Stonehearth on LAN. See: [Multiplayer without Steam?](https://discourse.stonehearth.net/t/multiplayer-without-steam/34944/13)

Verify that you are using the correct IP addresses on all the machines involved, and have the specified ports open in your router, firewall, etc.

I think this game has the option to start local game from the main menu after starting the game like Minecraft. Does anyone want to connect from steam or can not do user\_settings.json file or bug in game (it was so at alpha 24) we can not play in the current beta. I think it will be better if you have the option to start the game.
