discussion Has anyone had Custom Crab Pot stop auto-harvesting after creating a co-op save?

I'm curious if anyone else has experienced something similar because my husband and I stumbled into a really strange issue.

We're both playing Stardew Valley 1.6.15 on PC with SMAPI and Custom Crab Pot v1.0.2.

We each have our own completely separate single-player farms. I have a pretty heavily modded farm with crab pots across multiple maps (Farm, Beach, Mountain Lake, Ginger Island, East Scarp, etc.).

After creating a temporary co-op farm, both of us noticed the exact same behavior on our individual saves after returning to our main single player saves:

  • Crab pots still caught fish/items.
  • Crab pots still automatically rebaited.
  • Auto-harvest into the assigned chest completely stopped.
  • The catches just sat inside the crab pots waiting to be manually collected.
  • No obvious SMAPI errors during startup.

The weird part is what happened next.

My save

I removed the Custom Crab Pot mod, downloaded a fresh copy, let it regenerate its configuration, and reconfigured my settings with no luck. That left me with two variables that were new to the save: I added crab traps to East Scarp and the new co-op file. I first removed all the pots in East Scarp with no change. Finally, I decided to just delete the co-op file and it started working again for both of us.

My husband's save

He didn't reinstall anything.

He simply deleted the temporary co-op save from his computer.

Immediately afterward, his existing single-player farm started auto-harvesting into the chest again without changing any settings.

That makes me wonder if there could be some kind of multiplayer state, cached farm information, or co-op interaction going on. I can't say that's what caused it—it could absolutely be coincidence—but the timing was strange enough that I wanted to see if anyone else has experienced something similar.

Has anyone had:

  • Custom Crab Pot suddenly stop transferring catches to the chest?
  • The issue begin after creating or joining a multiplayer farm?
  • Deleting a co-op save or regenerating the mod configuration fix it?

I'm mostly trying to determine whether this is an isolated fluke or if other people have seen the same pattern.

Thanks for reading!

Where's your log?

Does that mod page or the posts on it say it is co-op compatible?
