Stardew Valley: Unlimited Players

Unlimited Players is an open source project for Stardew Valley which enables servers or hosts to get any set amount of players on their farm. Only the host / server requires the mod to be installed.

Please keep in mind that this not only a work in progress but also in a testing phase.
More is to come and of course everybody is welcome to join the project if they wish. The code is very easy to understand and even the game code of Stardew Valley itself can be understood with a bit of programming knowledge.

Installation Guide: Check the "Installation" Tab
Latest Test: 27.05.2018 with 9 players (#4)
Source Code: GitHub

Current features

Removed hardcoded cabin limit for host
Removed hardcoded player limit in multiplayer class
Removed hardcoded network limit

Planned features

Remove cabin requirement (optional via settings)

A final note:
This mod is being kept simple and doesn't change too much on the gamecode. It's thereby pretty safe from compatibility issues.
Yet the whole MP mode is pretty new so Chucklefish / Concerned Ape are active in changing the MP code - this can lead to unexpected behaviours and changing (planned) features which, if any appear, are fixed and / or adjusted as quick as possible.

Thanks for your understanding.

Remember: Only the host / server requires the mod.

On this page we list known issues and their solutions. Mind that not every listed issue is caused by this mod.
The whole multiplayer is still in Beta and many issues can only be fixed by the game devs themself.

Render issue on relationship tab

Issue(s):

Crash on relationship tab
The scissor rectangle cannot be larger than or outside of the current render target bounds

Reported Solution(s):

Install the Social Tab Patch for Unlimited Players by funnysnek (huge thanks!)
Play (host & players) in fullscreen and higher / different resolution.
Check for players using glitches such as the Item ID as Name glitch.

Disabled "ok" button on character creation screen

Issue(s):

On creating a new farmer, the "ok" button is greyed out.

Reported Solution(s):

To fix it you must do the following:

Open the save file of the farm

Find in the file the new user created, it must be after (already playing users are like Playername)

After that, find and replace it with the name of your farm
An thats it! That should do the trick.
