Replacing players?

[64 Wild Feral Dogs Sharing 1 PC]

TL;DR - A friend of mine had to remove a player from their farm due to connection issues. How would I go about replacing that person/opening up that slot for another person to join?

Destroy the cabin that was theirs by speaking to Robin, and replace it with a new Cabin.

However that feature has been temporarily disabled in the latest patch due to an issue. The workaround is to open your save file and an xml editor:

Step 1: Locate your multiplayer safe file and back it up

Step 2: Open up the safe file called yourname_bunchofnumbers in an XML Editor (i used sublime 3)

Step 3: Press Ctrl+F to open up the search menu

Step 4: Search for farmhand. You should find a tag called <farmhand> which is immediatly followed by a <name>farmhand's name</name> tag

Step 5: Locate whatever player you want to remove

Step 6: Delete everything including the <farmhand> tag of said player up to the </farmhand> tag (including it)

Step 7: Safe the file

Step 8: Boot up Stardew Valley, start Co-op as usual and invite the new friend

Sucks to hear it's temporarily down, I'll use the workaround I suppose. Thanks for the quick reply!

Well, make a backup. Copy the save to a different location.

After reading the above I would say, delete this

<farmhand>
<name>
Person you want to remove
</name>
</farmhand>

I only find <farmhand><name>Ezalor</name>
Then I don't see the </farmhand> afterwards

This thread is a year old; could be it's possible the intended way now ;~)
