I've never used it, but it has been extended to allow up to eight players. 
It still only works with LAN connections.  While you can create games over 
the internet, they are extremely laggy unless the latency is well under 20ms.

Due to the architecture of TTDPatch, turning switches on at runtime is not 
possible, and turning them off would require an awful lot of work to make it 
work right.
