==Setup==
==Setup==
You can create a world specifically for multiplayer, or convert a single-player world to multiplayer anytime.
===Starting a new multiplayer world===
===Start a new multiplayer world===
To begin a world designed for multiplayer, the host must select "Co-op" instead of "New" from the main menu, then select the "Host" tab and create a new farm. This character and farm creation screen is largely similar to the singleplayer one, but with the additional options to add [[#Cabins|cabins]], set a [[#Profit margins|profit margin]], and decide whether all players [[#Money|share a wallet or have their own wallets]].
To start a new world specifically for multiplayer:
# From the title screen, choose ''Co-Op'' instead of ''New''.
# Click the ''Host'' tab.
# Click ''Host New Farm''.
# Make sure you add one [[#Cabins|cabin]] for each player who'll join. You can optionally set a [[#Profit margins|profit margin]] and decide whether players [[#Money|share a wallet or have their own wallets]]. Profit margins can't be changed after farm creation without save editing, but you can change wallet sharing and build/demolish cabins in-game.
===Start split-screen mode===
# Create or load your save normally.
# Build a [[#Cabins|cabin]] for each new player in single-player mode.
# Connect a controller to your computer/console for each extra player. (The keyboard on PC is always reserved for the first player, though the first player can use a controller too.)
# Open the in-game menu and choose the ''Options'' tab.
# Scroll down to the Multiplayer section and choose ''Start Local Co-op''.
# Have each extra player press start on the connected controller.
===Converting a singleplayer world into multiplayer===
If the host loaded the world via "Co-Op" on the title screen, you can have both remote and split-screen players in the same world (subject to the [[#restrictions|restrictions]]).
===Invite players to a single-player world===
# Build a [[#Cabins|cabin]] for each new player in single-player mode.
# Save and exit to the title screen.
# Open the save file via ''Co-op'' instead of ''Load'' to let other players join.
