| Realistic | Standard. Player can hold 400L. |
|---|---|

Online Mode
Determines whether or not people can connect to you for online multiplayer.
| Offline | The world is not visible on the "Join World" menu, and is not joinable in any way. Singleplayer mode is active, meaning you can pause the game. |
|---|---|
| Private | The world is not visible on the "Join World" menu. It is joinable, but only with an invite. |
| Friends | The world appears on the "Join World" menu to your Steam friends, and is joinable by them. People who are not friends with you on Steam will not see the game, but they can still join if they are invited into it. |
