This mod provides a dedicated (headless) server for Stardew Valley, powered by SMAPI. It turns the host farmer into an automated bot to facilitate multiplayer gameplay.
Upon running SMAPI with the mod installed for the first time, a config.json file will be generated in the mod's folder. This file specifies which farm will be loaded on startup, farm creation options, host automation details, and other mod configuration options. Default values will be provided, which can then be modified. Here is an overview of the available settings:
FarmName: The name of the farm. If a farm with this name exists, it will automatically be loaded and hosted for co-op. Otherwise, a new farm will be created using the specified farm creation options and then hosted for co-op.

Options are "nearby" or "separate".ProfitMargin: The farm's profit margin. Options are "normal", "75%", "50%", and "25%".MoneyStyle: Determines whether money is shared or separate among farmers. Options are "shared" or "separate".FarmType: The type of farm.

When enabled, seasonal crops planted by players and fully grown before the season's end are guaranteed to give at least one more harvest before dying.

Instead, it'll provide exactly one more harvest, even if it's a crop that ordinarily produces multiple harvests. Defaults totrue.
