How to meet people to play Stardew Valley

[Miranda]

I got Stardew Valley a while ago on here but none of my friends have it :( I've completed it on Xbox and Playstation but I want to start a save with a couple people and have fun :)

That sounds fun! Let me know when you're free :>

I've only ever played solo - I don't know anyone who plays SDV. But I'd be open to the idea of joining a co-op. Don't know much about them and obviously have tons of questions. Do all players need to be online at the same time? Mods or no mods?

I'm also onboard with playing co-op :) my biggest problem finding people to play with is timezone differences. My timezone is AEST, and most of my online friends are in America, so they only play when it's 3am for me! lol!

For co-op, all players must be online to play together. But you can play even if one of your players isn't there - their character will just join in next time (so in a multiplayer game you might go to bed in Spring, and then next time you play the game might be up to Winter already!).
Only the host needs to be online for the game to run, and if the host plays the multiplayer game by themselves (with no other players logged into their characters) it works just like single player.

The biggest difference between single player and multiplayer is that in single player time pauses when you talk to people or are in a cutscene - in multiplayer time still passes. So there are times when you might end a cutscene and immediately pass out because it's after 2am.

aside from the above response, there also exists a mod (archipelago or something like that) that essentially is still single player games but randomizes certain items tables between players so that you need to do some kind of trading. I haven't tried it but it sounded worth a try some day.
