Aaaand that's it ! You finally joined a server !

With Your Friends

If your friend host the world:
First, go to "Multiplayer", then on "Join via Steam".
Now, you have to right click on their profile picture and click on "Join game".
Then choose your character and here you go !

If you host the world:
First, go to "Multiplayer", then on "Host and play".
Now, you just have to choose your character, your world and now, you wait for your friends to connect !

Thanks for reading this guide ! I hope this guide helped you.

I did this and it works.

First, follow the same step above for "If you host the world".
*Important, other Steam friends MUST NOT start the game yet, but stay online on Steam.

Back to host player. Open in-game Settings and then invite friends.
Friends should accept the invitation, choose player, then enter the password. Have fun.

If you want to host your own you need to perform a crucial step, which is starting the server.
You need to manually go to the install location of the game in steam/steamapps/common and run the <start-server-steam-friends> batch file. It will open a command prompt window and you can follow the instructions on screen there and then you can both join the server it creates. You can go in and invite your friends.
I could not play until I did that so, I hope this helps someone in need.
