how do i join my friends server when he's offline?
so a friend got me to try this game for the first time today and we started a new world together.
spent a couple hours in it, but he had to go for personal reasons. i'd like to continue in that world and finish the house i was building so i'm ready to do other things when he gets back.
but i'm not seeing where i can join that world anywhere in the game. is it just not possible if he's not online?
edit: i don't know the ip and can't ask him until tomorrow

If he's hosting, the game ends when he quits.
Do a dedicated server (which ends when his PC shuts down) or do one of those cloud rental servers.
Or host from a second box that stays on.

if your friend set up a dedicated server, then as long as the server is up and running you should be able to join. this rn takes a bit of effort, and needs the computer up running to function. if your friend just opened a local game to friends without setting up the dedicated server (which is the most likely scenario), then when he logs out the game stops. and you won't be able to log on/see it until he opens it up again.

If the server is on his PC, then he will have to leave it up and running while he is away. Other wise I would start a sole game.

Or you can rent-a-server so you both can play independently of each other. They're not that expensive.
