			===Testing in multiplayer===
			You can test mods in multiplayer on the same computer, by launching two instances of the game:

			# Prepare player one:
			## Launch SMAPI like usual.
			## From the title screen: click ''co-op'', then ''host''.
			## Start a new save slot (unless you've already created one). Make sure to set 'starting cabins' to at least one (you'll need one cabin per extra player).
			# Prepare player two:
			## Launch SMAPI again. (This will automatically create a separate log file.)
			## From the title screen: click ''co-op'', then ''join LAN game''.
			## Leave the 'Enter IP...' box empty and click OK.
