Basically I gave some items to a couple people who played on my farm once and can’t get them to come back and drop them back off from their inventories. Is is possible to get my items back without them needing to join and drop them?
You can grab them at the mayor’s house. Same place where you can transfer money around.
Can confirm, this does work and includes their tools. Just in case you ever need tools while upgrading your own…
I believe that anything they had with them ends up in a chest in their house while they’re not logged on.
I’ll see if I can find some evidence.
“The host player can also demolish a cabin at any time. Demolishing a cabin removes its occupant from the game, and places their inventory in a chest located where the cabin was.”
So it seems you need to destroy their cabin, and then everything gets dumped into the chest.
