STARDEW VALLEY CHECKPOINT FARM!

The most exciting news of all has come to CheckPoint: we have our very own farm! Come along to our invite-only server, where an unlimited number of GamerMates can play co-op with us. We ask you respect the creations of others and their items and the normal GamerMates language/behaviour rules apply. Have fun!

General Multiplayer Stuff

I’m the host and my name is Grammy
We live on CheckPoint Farm, with our cat, “Doggo”
You get your own cabin!
We share the same money and farmland
We each have our own energy bar, experience points, skills and our own relationships with NPCs
We can all get married but each NPC can only have one spouse
Players can marry each other and have children

Always On Mod

We have an “always on” mode installed so that I can go on with my life whilst you enjoy the farm. Here’s some features while it is autorunning because I’m AFK:

Grammy goes to sleep every day at 2am
Grammy will go about her day as if I am controlling her
The game pauses when no one is playing it
Full festival support, each festival will run for 6 minutes before the scripted event begins. You can choose whether you go to the festival or not, but all active users must go to the festival to trigger it starting
Festivals and events will notify you via chat
If the server is reset you’ll get a 2 minute warning before kick

Simply sign up and join us in the CheckPoint discord where we arrange sessions and share session details.

Time

(Wednesday) 1:00 pm - 3:00 pm
