Hey, I was playing Stardew Valley with two friends (so we are 3 players total), and after about 13 hours of progress in the game, we decided to host it on an online server while keeping our progress.
But we can’t find a solution. When we import our server to BisectHosting, we can only see two players, not the host’s character. What am I doing wrong?

Hi there!
You're not doing anything wrong, that's just how Stardew server hosting is set up! Because there's technically no way to host dedicated servers this way, the server bot acts as the host which overrides the hosts farmer profile if you upload a world.
There is a workaround that allows you to basically add a dummy character which you then load the original hosts save data onto! That's what you'll have to do for the hosts character to show up :)
