The devs are looking into this to find out what is happening and get it fixed. You can kick people in the mean time or if they steal stuff, you can close out immediately without saving and restart the day. Hopefully they will be able to track down the issue soon to get it fixed. But if you can please also put a bug report through the game the next time it happens so it might hopefully give more details for the devs on the back end. Thanks and sorry that keeps happening. It's really weird

God thanls, we didnt experienced that. This would kill every joy of gaming.

Maybe it would help, when you limit the players to 2, when open a game, just enough space for your and your honey. No third (or fourth) player could join then (hopefully).

Additionally, you could try another region (EU/US/etc.). Maybe this a**holes will not join then. But for sure, use a password too.

it's happened to me too, sadly password doesn't matter. the last time it happened was with someone joining in the game that didn't even have a username. there's some kind of hack/exploit going around or something

I am going to bump this topic, since this is an ongoing issue. As Spoopy Owl said, changing your password doesn't matter. You will have someone without a username join your password protected server and start going through everything on your farm. This generally takes them less than 5 minutes from server startup. There is clearly some type of hack/exploit that has not been resolved and has been in place for at least the past seven months. Until I get word from the Devs that this has been fixed, this means that one of my child's favorite games is unsafe to play and will be uninstalled.

I only play offline so I dont have that problem, but I would like to be able to play with a friend. This may explain why my crops disappeared the few times I was playing online.

Can you not limit the number of players to prevent others from joining?

Limiting the size of your server is a bandage to the much larger security issue. This also assumes that the person creating the server is an adult who is aware of the issue and remembers to lower the size limit on the server, which seems to default to 4 each time the game is started.

I also limited the number and it does not matter to the hacker...So sad, we downloaded it with gf 4 days ago, had a lot of fun and we got "raided" 3 times already. He took the stuff that took the longest to get and logged off. What a human garbage

the chests all have a lock symbol on them, you should be able to stop others from opening chests, give that a try.
As for all the items you lost, there is a mod that lets you give yourself items if you know the item ID, and there is a guide listing most of the item ID's . I use it all the time to make my play faster and easier, even though its a little like cheating. but you could use it to refill all the items you lost.

Having someone come uninvited into my game would leave me feeling violated.

What are the devs saying about this in discord? It has been a known issue for quite some time.

Its a huge problem we had in Creativerse too, In that game I had soooo many thieves come in, I set up a spawn point where uninvited players ended up in a death trap--- got rid of so may problems. Maybe this game needs town sheriff and a jail, lol.
The other option for playing with friends could be to have a LAN option, but there needs to be an improvement in the password system and an option to instantly ban someone.

My understanding is that Bolt (the server client) found a huge flaw in their system over a year ago. Not sure how long it goes back but all of the info is on their website. They have fixed things on Bolts end but they make it clear that it's on individual devs to rework their game and such with the rewritten Bolt code

Now the question is can the game be fixed at all- we have no idea bc the devs have never addressed this subject publicly

I love this game and was getting towards 2k hours in it but had to decide to step away

A large part of this game for me is the multiplayer and having mine and my friends souls crushed when someone/s destroys a build , steal things or just cause havoc has made the game for a lot of us unplayable

My advice is do your own looking into the subject and decide if this security issue is something you are personally willing to deal with- bc imo I don't think it's going away but I do hope I'm proven incorrect eventually
