Stardew Parser

Below are the supported copy flows.

Through UI Tool

Player to Farmhand

Stardew Parser can copy a player from another world and add it as a farmhand to the destination save. To do so a processing file written as the example below is required:

{
  "fromFile": "sample/source_save",
  "toFile": "sample/destination_save",
  "clearFarmers": false,
  "characterType": {
    "characterType": "PLAYER",
    "uid": 12345,
    "copyAs": {
      "characterType": "FARMER",
      "replace": {
        "characterType": "FARMER",
        "uid": 45678
      }
    }
  }
}

• Identify the source player UniqueMultiplayerID. This uid identifies the player across games and links the player to the users' computer.
• Create a copyAs definition of characterType FARMER. This tells the parser that we are taking the player of uid 12345 and copying it over as a FARMER.
• Stardew Valley requires each Farmhand to have a house. Prior to copying over the player a house must be built. This creates a default empty house with an empty Farmer record.
• Create a replace definition of characterType FARMER.
• Define the uid to be replaced. When an empty house is built in Stardew it's assigned a placeholder farmhand with a defined UniqueMultiplayerID. In this case that id is 45678.
• Finally, this will replace the placeholder farmhand of uid 45678 with the player of uid 12345 converted to a farmhand and assigned to the empty house.

Player to Player

Stardew Parser can copy a single player from another world and add it as the player in a new save. To do so a processing file written as the example below is required:

{
  "fromFile": "sample/source_save",
  "toFile": "sample/destination_save",
  "clearFarmers": false,
  "character": {
    "characterType": "PLAYER",
    "uid": 12345,
    "copyAs": {
      "characterType": "PLAYER"
    }
  }
}

• Identify the source player UniqueMultiplayerID. This uid identifies the player across games and links the player to the users' computer.
• Create a copyAs definition of characterType PLAYER. This tells the parser that we are taking the player of uid 12345 and copying it over as a PLAYER.
• Finally, this will replace the player in the destination save with the player of uid 12345. Stardew can only have a single player record per save. Any additional players are considered farmhands.

Farmhand to Farmhand

Stardew Parser can copy a farmhand from one save to another. To do so a processing file written as the example below is required.

{
  "fromFile": "sample/source_save",
  "toFile": "sample/destination_save",
  "clearFarmers": false,
  "character": {
    "characterType": "FARMER",
    "uid": 12345,
    "copyAs": {
      "characterType": "FARMER",
      "replace": {
        "characterType": "FARMER",
        "uid": 45678
      }
    }
  }
}

• Identify the source Farmer UniqueMultiplayerID. This uid identifies the player across games and links the player to the users' computer.
• Create a copyAs definition of characterType FARMER. This tells the parser that we are taking the farmhand of uid 12345 and copying it over as a FARMER.
• Stardew Valley requires each Farmhand to have a house. Prior to copying over the farmhand a house must be built. This creates a default empty house with an empty Farmer record.
• Create a replace definition of characterType FARMER.
• Define the uid to be replaced. When an empty house is built in Stardew it's assigned a placeholder farmhand with a defined UniqueMultiplayerID. In this case that id is 45678.
• Finally, this will replace the placeholder farmhand of uid 45678 with the Farmer of uid 12345 and assign it to the empty house.
