Build a Base & Steal Plants Co-Op Guide: Playing With Friends and the 6-Player Server Cap

Yes — Build a Base & Steal Plants is made for playing with friends. The developer's own description says "Play with your friends, CO-OP is available!", and every server holds up to 6 players in total, so a group can share a server only while slots remain open.

What the game confirms about co-op

Co-op is part of the game's front door, not a hidden extra: the listing is titled "Build a Base & Steal Plants 🌱 [CO-OP]", and the invitation to play with friends sits right in the main description. The same description sums up the core loop — roll for rare plants, build your base, break into other bases to steal plants and protect yours, collect pets, and earn money while you're away. What it doesn't do is spell out how a co-op session is set up, so the concrete number to plan a group around is the server cap below.

How many players fit in one server

Six is the limit. The game's server stats list Max Players: 6 and Server size: 6 players. A few practical points about that number:

• The cap counts everyone in the server — your friends and anyone else who joins. It's a server-wide limit, not a reserved block of slots for your group, so your group can share a server only while slots remain open.
• If a server is already full, an extra friend can't squeeze in, so pick a server that still has room.
• Brand-new players land in the game's "🌱 [New Players]" place, which is listed as part of the same [CO-OP] game and is also capped at 6 players, so a fresh group works under the same limit from the first session.

Where to go from there

How to get plants covers rolling and stealing plants, how to build a base gets your first walls up, and base layouts helps you keep the loot you have stolen. Still deciding whether to team up? The solo vs co-op comparison lays out both ways to play.
