Regarding Save File
The mod currently saves information about the last used seed in a separate file. This allows for offline play once the save file has been initialized. In order to initialize a new save file, simply start a new game while connected to a different seed. If you load up a save file while the seed from the server does not match the local save file, you will not be able to receive items nor send checks.
