is there a way to determine what kind of default cabin you'll get?
so let's say i host a new multiplayer farm and i add 1 pre-built cabin. is there a way to determine whether it'll be the wood, stone or plank cabin?
i've done some testing, starting new farms a bunch of times, using the forest map, and almost every time i've gotten the green cabin, but twice i've gotten the wooden one.
is it simply random or maybe pre-determined by which map you choose?
i'm hoping for the stone cabin, for the record.

As far as I've been able to determine, the pre-generated ones seem like they'll NEVER generate duplicates. So, starting with all 3 cabins guarantee one of each. But pretty sure there's no way to specify which cabin.

Your best bet if you want one cabin in particular is to start your game out and run the first day on your own, build the cabin as soon as possible, and then have your friend join. (According to the wiki, cabins build instantly. 100 gold and either 10 stone, 10 wood, or 5 wood and 10 fiber.) Otherwise, if you feel comfortable editing Stardew save files - which is dangerous and can destroy your save - I'm willing to bet there's a way to change the style of building after it's built..... somehow.

EDIT: Correction, I don't think you can go co-op until you have cabins, so you probably have to start the game single-player, build the cabin on the first day, finish the day to save the game, go back to the main menu, and then load again as a co-op.

I think it might be random, because my friend joined on 2 separate farms and got the cute green cabin both times...
Pretty much what these 2 above have stated. However there is a mod that let's you edit the Cabins design by simply hovering your mouse over it and Pressing F12 (config default I believe. you can change it easily). This would however require you to download SMAPI to do this (mod name is Change Cabin Type).

Quick edit: Idk if it'll break that save file once you switch back over to Vanilla gameplay, so try it on a new save and find out! I'm currently too lazy to do that...

I can confirm you can NOT have other people join your game until you have at least 1 cabin built, so 1 cabin per extra player before they can actually enter your game.
