Uploading your existing local farm will allow you to continue your farm's progress on a Shockbyte server with friends. To do this you will need to upload your existing farms save folder to your server.
Warning: You will not be able to play as the host farmer on existing farms uploaded to a server.
Locating your Existing Farm
Before uploading your existing farm you will first need to locate its save folder. This is normally located within Stardew Valley's Appdata folder.
- Using Explorer, navigate to
C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\StardewValley\Saves. - Locate your farms save folder.
- Make a copy of this folder and move it to your desktop.
Uploading a Farm to your Server
Once you've located your farm save folder you will need to upload it to your server. It is recommended that you do this using Filezilla.
- Access your control panel and Stop your server.
- Connect to your server using FTP.
- Navigate to
/StardewValley/Saves.
- Upload your existing farm's save folder to your server.
Setting your Server's Active Farm
Once you've uploaded your existing farm you will need to change your server's active farm.
- Access your control panel and Stop your server.
- Navigate to Files > Config Files.
- Open Stardew Valley Server Settings.
- Locate the config Farm Name.
- Set this to the same name as the Farm you just uploaded.
- Click Save and Start your server.
