But what happens if you only have one or two friends to play with, and you still want to build massive ships?<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 25px;\">Instead of spending your weekend hitting rocks with a pickaxe, the host of the world can use <strong style=\"color: #60a5fa;\">XMODhub<\/strong>. Because Windrose doesn&#8217;t use invasive anti-cheat software for private, password-protected local sessions, the host can safely inject quality-of-life mods to bypass the brutal economy.
