FarmhouseStack	Cabins hidden off-map. All players warp to shared farmhouse interior.	Co-op focused
None	Vanilla behavior. Cabins placed at real farm positions.	Traditional multiplayer

Existing Cabin Behavior

Controls what happens to visible cabins already on the farm when using a stacked strategy.

Behavior	Description
KeepExisting	Leave existing cabins at their positions. Only new cabins follow the strategy.
MoveToStack	Relocate all visible cabins to the hidden stack on startup.

Wallet Modes

Setting	Description
false	Shared wallet — all players share one money pool
true	Separate wallets — each player has their own money

You can toggle this in-game using the !changewallet admin command.

Direct IP Connections

WARNING

Direct IP connections don't provide user IDs, so the server can't track farmhand ownership. Players may lose access to their farmhands if they reconnect from a different IP.

Only enable if you need it for specific network configurations.

Password Protection Settings

For lobby mode and layout settings, see Password Protection.

Setting	Description
LobbyMode	"Shared" (all in one lobby) or "Individual" (separate lobbies)
ActiveLobbyLayout	Name of the lobby layout for new players
