So today was the first day or Stardew Valley multiplayer and I think i fell in love with it all over again! I first played the game for a bit when it first came out and they said multiplayer would of been out when it hit steam, finally though it has come out and it runs very nicely. Zynk and I played it for a good 5 hours on my stream . While playing we noticed a few things:
- Money is shared
- Upgrades are only per person (if you upgrade your pickaxe its only upgraded for the one person)
- All farm land is shared
- Different homes
- Community building is shared
- Cave floors were shared
- Quests had to be completed per person
- Stats are not shared
So what we kind of learned is we both got the backpack and then are going to be splitting up who gets what upgraded. (pickaxe, hatchet, watering can, ect) That way the money would not just go poof, but we also learned that we can plant and pick up twice the amount of crops. Still hard to do with very little money to start out. We also found out that mail is sent per person as well so when you get cookies or money from your mom you can get it per person. We also have a few odd things happen like loading some times in the cave took a really long time. A few times i had connection issues, we found out its a peer to peer deal and not like a server from steam. After playing a bit we got to our first event it makes the little events a bit harder and a bit of a competition between the players. We cant wait to dive farther into the game with multiplayer so I hope to add a better review later of the game.
