How Does Separate Money Work in Multiplayer?

See title. Do players have to rush out and harvest crops to make more sales than others? Is it competitive? Etc. It sounds cool but it could also be weird.

it could be played that way. Or each person could have their own farming area. Or you could just try to harvest the same amount. There is always the option to send money to another player if things get out of balance.

How do the bundles work if money is separate?

These issues need to be discussed and worked out before you start a game with someone, If you have different ideas of what is supposed to happen, who controls what, how/when you help each other or leave each others stuff alone, then you will definitely have conflicts and hurt feelings. Setting up voice chat is a really good idea for this. Another idea is to do a quick game pause before the start of each new day to clarify anything new that comes up.

If you play with separate money you want to use the 4 corners map. Then it's clear that you have your own farm plots. It gets fuzzy once you unlock the greenhouse, barns and coops. Is hay everyone's responsibility to grow equally, do you divide greenhouse into 4 squares and fruit trees too. Oh wait everyone may not get same amount of tree planting space.

There's a mod that gives each player his own greenhouse but it's still experimental it seems, there could be bugs, and only that 1 player can go inside it.

And be sure you know where you place buildings if you're a farmhand, only the game host can move buildings as it is.

But in the end it's also clear that if you go for max profit with 4 players, the standard map has way more buildable space. The 4-corner map should be bigger imo.
