Co op question

[cearalynch]

Hi there! I recently started streaming a co-op farm on twitch. I made 3 cabins for people to join (the maximum, as is my understanding) Since I stream wider audience, there are various people that want to join the co-op on different days. The problem is, it seems since the first 3 people joined, no one new has been able to connect to my farm since then. My question is: are my cabins free for anyone to join? Or are they “claimed” by certain players and then can’t be used by anyone else after that?

They are claimed. You can kick off one person by demolishing the cabin, and that frees up the space to build a new cabin for another one, but the first person loses all progress, so it's not a good option if they want to rejoin.

The only way around this, as they are claimed as Ereo said, is to play with the mod that allows unlimited farmhands. Sadly, on Switch, you don't have that option.

Is it claimed by player or by character? One of my farm hands told me he always sees the option to play as the other two characters as well.

I've never done MP with more than just 1 other person, but I believe it is by character.
