Why doesn't Barotrauma use steam servers. I don't understand what you mean by that. And creating a server is pretty straightforward. Games like factorio, ark survival, space engineers, stellaris, terraria, and games with multiplayers like these all give you the ability to create a small co-op serve...

This game was advertised with co-op but you have to jump through hoops to create a server. Why doesn't Barotrauma use steam servers. Being able to easily create private servers for you and a friend or two would be a major benefit to this already great game.
