(also to clarify what i meant here, it’s mostly meant to encourage you to ping me once we’ve started talking but no harm, no foul at all. don’t worry about it at all)

Got it, thank you!

# solemn cargo

Awesome. That looks good. You can move the smapi installer somewhere else though like your downloads. But next up, could you confirm your steam launch options are empty please? And if they are, please try to grab a screenshot of the error you’re getting

solemn cargo
#

I don't know how to check if my launch options are empty. I'm new to Steam

night bough
#

No worries. So go to Stardew in your steam library. Where it says launch, look all the way to the right. There should be a cog/gear icon. Click that, then Properties.

solemn cargo
#

Nothing in Launch Options

night bough
#

I have a few ideas but it’ll be quickest to narrow them down this way

#

If it wasn’t one particular guide, don’t go searching too hard. Have you ever launched Stardew before installing SMAPI?

#

@solemn cargo

solemn cargo
#

There were so many...I think it was when I manually downloaded on NexusMods that it told me other files were needed. Might have been a youtube video though

night bough
# solemn cargo \

And second question, does this error pop up when launching stardew through steam?

solemn cargo
#

I played Stardew earlier today without SMAPI and was horribly frustrated. It was working though. I've been playing on an iPad and can't make it through skull caverns and thought some mods would help but can't mod an iPad

#

Yes, it happens when I launch through Steam

#

Sorry. I was frustrated because of the caverns, not Steam. It was working fine

#

I even went to the privacy and security settings and allowed Terminal full disk access because that's what some other guide suggested

#

Your mac, is it an M1 mac?

solemn cargo
#

I guess it's a hidden folder because I can't find it. Hang on while I tell it to show hidden folders...

night bough
#

easiest way is through error message trust me

#

either way once you get there

Right-click (two-fingered click on trackpad) on open-smapi-terminal.sh and navigate to Get Info.

solemn cargo
#

What do you want from the tmp folder?

#

Do you want what's in the preview window in the info dialog?

#

The terminal window opened and showed me a bunch of stuff

night bough
#

Kinda. Find “Open With” and click the drop down arrow. Then select whatever your default is and scroll to the bottom of the list and select "Other...". This will open the Applications folder.

#

Inside utilities you’ll find terminal

#

Click it and hit “Add”

solemn cargo
#

I did that, but it was already opening in Terminal

night bough
#

Okay then can you show me what happens when you double click open-smapi-terminal.sh in tmp folder?

night bough
#

So opening this .sh should launch the game.

solemn cargo
#

It opened Terminal and then launched the game in Steam. I moved the SMAPI outside of the mod folder earlier like you asked. I don't know if that's what made it load or not. But the game that comes up is the regular game with no mod

More than happy to help, this kind of thing is truly so frustrating. I was actually just going to ask some volunteers more knowledgeable than I and ping you in here whenever they got back to me. Shouldn’t take longer than a day at max but it could be done in 30m haha SDVpufferthumbsup

In the meantime at least you can play by going through tmp. And a big tip for getting started in stardew modding: the official wiki has a modding section with guides and troubleshooting sections. if you’re ever having an issue it is the most comprehensive and up to date resource. don’t read the whole thing like i did SBVLmaoDog and always feel free to ask questions in here, but it’s almost always has an answer somewhere https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Player_Guide/Getting_Started

So, I am having an issue with my Starry Blue UI where it keeps making big text windows have this random red tinted bar over it. SMAPI produces no errors, and I have tried it with JUST the UI mod and it still remains there. I even tried just a vanilla game to see if it was a game issue and no red tint over the vanilla UI. I am hoping there is a solution, because it really bothers me, and it never used to do this before. Sobs

wait this is normal as in its in vanilla too?

#

its really weird when 10 cows are doing push ups at the same time lol

hasty flume
#

yeah, animals have been doing weird shit like that since day 1, no mods needed. one time i went to build something and all my animals were in a line staring at me. not my farmer, me, through the screen. sometimes they clip into each other and attempt to meld into one being. its all normal

#

i just chalk it up to "theyre scheduleless automatons with not very good pathfinding or ai and since theyre such a small part of the overall game its not worth it to fix it"

#

as long as theyre still producing and not vanishing into the ether you're good

agile thorn
#

ic, i actually dont remember vanilla animals could even sit, i thought they just walk?

The animal push-ups are new in 1.6

hasty flume

but yeah they do sit now

agile thorn
#

oo, i see. yeah first time me playing 1.6

#

i didnt realize sitting was new but my overall opinion still stands. animals be doing shit

agile thorn
#

lol they still dont run but now they do push ups? SDVkrobusgiggle

also im noticing if ur grass is too far, some animals cant path find to it...

theyre really not good at pathfinding. that isnt new

I just installed a clean copy of both Starry Blue UI and Theme Manager and didn't get the red lines.

#

(wanted to make sure it wasn't an asset issue, because there have been a few of those)

simple wadi
#

Yeah, I am not sure what is causing the issue at all, which is why I am hoping for some solution Sobs I thought maybe a mod collision but nope

modest grail
#

actually, I'm just noticing... Do you not have Theme Manager installed?

#

Starry Blue UI lists it as a requirement currently, so it's worth adding if you don't to see if it somehow fixes it.

simple wadi
#

I actually had theme manager and that is when the red tint started, so I removed it because it didn't need theme manager before and it had worked

modest grail
#

hmmmmm

simple wadi
#

However, removing it did not remove the red tint, just added it, from what it feels like

modest grail
#

Do another minimal mod test, this time only with Starry Blue UI and Theme Manager if you don't mind?

#

Just to rule it out

If it is identical, then the only thing left to try is resetting your base game files in case something went wonky there.

How do I reset base game files and does it hurt my saves?

modest grail

Your saves are stored elsewhere and should be fine

#

You're just going to verify the integrity of the game files in Steam

#

Please note on the off chance you've used any XNB mods that require dropping things directly into the game's Content folder, this will nuke them

I'm pretty sure I've never used those, so that should be fine

Please reset your game files. This will fix any broken game files, but won't affect your save files or mods.

!loadorder

native dragonBOT
#

When two mods edit the same dialogue or images, whichever edit is applied last "wins" and is the one you see in the game.

If the mods don't set edit priorities (which most don't), that order is mainly determined by the order the mods were loaded by SMAPI. You can change that mod load order to influence the edit order.

To use this command, type !loadorder.

Better to change the load order to prevent future issues.

Or I guess the one that Governer sent

modest grail
#

So you open the manifest file of the mod you want to "win" and set it to require the mod that you need to beat.

hot egret
modest grail
#

Only when you update the younger wizard mod, and it's honestly much quicker to update that one line than migrate all the image assets and hope they line up.

#

You don't have to follow my suggestion, but it's the difference between adding a line of code in one mod when one mod updates versus moving images when EITHER of the two updates.

#

Alright folks, good luck. I need to get to sleep, but I'm sure if y'all continue to have issues, someone else will be along to assist at some point ❤️

Hey guys I am trying to add upgraded kegs to artisan machines from Walk of Life: Rebirth, I tried adding

   "(BC){{ModId}}_Keg-Copper",
   "(BC){{ModId}}_Keg-Iron",
   "(BC){{ModId}}_Keg-Gold",
   "(BC){{ModId}}_Keg-Iridium",
   "(BC){{ModId}}_Keg-Prismatic" ```
I've replaced ModId with Upgraded Kegs ID in both manifest, CF.UpgradedKegs and CF.UpgradedKegsCP but neither work, I am not sure what I am doing wrong
lean star
#

did you replace ModId or {{ModId}}?

shy orbit

lean star
#

everything enclosed by double braces represents a token, the value of which is what you want to replace it with
if you replace only ModId, you set another token, which is not what you want, you want to set the value

quasi gorge
#

woah

#

it worked

#

thanks a lot

lean star
#

like in this case the value of {{ModId}} is CF.UpgradedKegsCP, meaning you have to replace the entire thing

thank you for going the extra step to explain what it represents with and without the braces

Hi there! Thank you for your patience. I have some ideas for you. I can't guarantee anything but I'm hopeful one of them might work. I'd like to try a simpler fix first before we get to some bigger ones.

  1. Download iTerm2 (https://iterm2.com/)
  2. In iTerm2, set it as your default terminal ("Make iTerm2 Default Term" instructions here: https://iterm2.com/documentation-menu-items.html To reverse changes, if this doesn't end up working, see "Make Terminal Default Term" at same link).
  3. Launch Stardew through Steam and see if the error persists. (If it does, try a fresh install of SMAPI: https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Installing_SMAPI_on_Mac)
    Please ping me with your results and if it still persists we can move on to the other fixes.

I downloaded iTerm2. My computer automatically downloaded "Install Command Line Developer Tools" as well. I made iTerm2 the default terminal. I ran Steam and opened SV that way. I got the same error. I uninstalled SMAPI and reinstalled it. Same problem. However, even though I made iTerm2 the default terminal, the errors still opened in Terminal. So I drug the SMAPI install over the iTerm2 app to force it to use iTerm2, but that still didn't work. Same error message.

Generic Mod Config Menu (or GMCM https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/5098) adds the option to edit some, but not all, mod configs from either the title screen or the options page in a save. It also has a special screen to edit keybinds for all mods with GMCM integration.

The presence of the gear it adds to the title screen is not a method for checking whether mods are installed, only whether GMCM is installed.

To use this command, type !gmcm.

Feel free to reverse the changes in iterm by holding option in that drop down. Make Terminal Default Term should pop up and you can click it. Then revert to default login shell in Terminal>Preferences

Yesterday I set it up for that file to open with Terminal. When we did that, Steam did work and open SV. Today, the same thing happened. If I double-click on that "open-smapi-terminal.command" file, Steam will launch SV like it should.

Just right click the game folder

Opening terminal at a folder is just an easier way for most to set the directory is all. You could do it manually via cd ~/Library/Application Support/Steam/steamapps/common/Stardew Valley/Contents/MacOS (afaik) but the wiki prefers to keep people out of terminal wherever possible.

Now I'm confused. The game folder is Library/Application Support/Steam/steamapps/common/Stardew Valley. If I right click on that, it's just a folder and it doesn't let me open anything

I have a to run for a bit but I'll be back later. Grab the log ^, ping it at me, then try launching through steam again.

Beyond that, you can still launch through tmp and have steam be connected.

You can mod your multiplayer games, but to avoid any hiccups, all players' mod lists need to match. If players have too many mismatched mods, you will experience bugs in your game - even if the mods were working fine earlier, there is no guarantee that they will stay that way, and strange things may start occurring.

There are a few exceptions to this - cosmetic mods usually work fine with no glitches, and some C# mods work as well. The main mod page often includes information on whether or not they work in multiplayer. However, in general, your mod lists should match exactly.

See the wiki page for more details on how mods work in multiplayer!

Multiplayer Mod Checker is an easy way to determine if host/farmhand mods match.

!rollback When you do, launch and grab a new log. If the savegame error is still there, one day might not be far enough back. If so, see instructions for "Modded" below

native dragonBOT
#
Dealing with Corrupted Save Files

Vanilla: Reverting to a previous save file is the safest way to restore access to a corrupted save. However, this comes at the cost of one in-game day’s progress.

Modded: SMAPI creates backups of your save files as dated zips stored in the save-backups folder inside your Stardew Valley folder (as long as you didn’t delete the Save Backup mod). Named as the date they were generated, they can be used to roll back a save beyond just the previous day, which could help escape especially persistent save corruption at the cost of in-game progress. Download the zip and follow steps 3 and 4 in this guide.

To use this command, type !rollback.

I'm seeing a galaxy auth connection failure error in your log. I'm not sure its connected to your issue but we should rule it out first. Would you mind answering a few of these questions?

  • Was Steam open in the background on launch?
  • Is Steam updated? (try forcing update) If it is, then
  • Does the account you play on own the game? (i.e. not a shared library)
  • Are you using a vpn?
  • Are steams servers down or under maintenance in your region? (check at steamstat.us)

Hi! I was wondering if someone could answer a couple questions for me. 🙂 SMAPI on android currently uses the 1.5.6.39 build, however on Nexus it's a bit difficult to tell which game version older mod builds are built for. The SMAPI website says "Use the latest version", but a lot of the latest mod builds are for 1.6+. Will there be any conflicts if I just download the latest version despite them being built for a newer build of the game?

Many mods are not compatible for Android, but there is an incomplete list of android compatible mods.

If you find a working mod that isn't on there, submit it by following the instructions here.

For mods not listed, they may or may not be compatible with android, but the Modding Android Wiki page provides more info on how to find a compatible version of a mod not listed in the first link.

also I still got the connection issue

hasty flume
#

That's bc you're closing steam after loading in

night bough

Either that or steam server issue

rose owl
#

OHH...

night bough
#

But probably that you're closing steam

rose owl
#

I do it so my game runs smoothly without steam weighting it down 😭

#

do I have to always keep it on?

hasty flume
#

I don't think that's how it works

rose owl

☹️

#

my pc is old and so laggy

#

im trying to best to help it out 😭

hasty flume
#

It shouldn't cause any in-game issues afaik

sly elm
#

it mostly means you won't have cloud saves right away, I think, and multiplayer isn't possible

rose owl
#

But this file is multiplayer? I always invite my friend and it works

night bough
#

Huh. Were you in multiplayer when this issue happened?

rose owl
#

yes 😭 but she left before I did because I fell asleep..

hasty flume
#

I don't know enough about multiplayer to say anything on this subject

sly elm
#

what do you mean when you say you close steam? do you click the x of the window?

rose owl
#

yes

sly elm
#

then steam is probably still running, it doesn't shut down completely from just closing the window

rose owl
hasty flume
#

Yeah steam is always running in the background

#

Always watching....

sly elm

AH well honestly I'd not worry about the connection issues too much as long as everything works

okay then tyy

I have a reoccurring issue where smapi wont load the game, after a while it'll magically fix itself, and then the problem will happen again. Smapi loads fine, behaving how it normally does but the game window is a black screen and if I click it, it goes white and gives the "stardew modding API is not responding. Close or wait for it to respond" message. I've tried reinstalling smapi, restarting my PC, and trying to launch the game through smapi with no mods.

Android SMAPI does not currently work for versions of SDV past 1.5.6.39. We do not know if or when it will be made compatible. It is not possible to downgrade to .39 through legal means so do not ask how to do this.

Mod support for 1.5 on Android is still experimental, so many mods are broken or buggy. That's often something SMAPI needs to fix, and we may not be able to provide a solution.

(PC) Having an issue with automate specifically. In year 5 and all of a sudden, every automate tick makes my game stutter. i figured out it was automate specifically cause changing the automate interval, changed the stutter point to the exact same as the automate interval. unsure on why its doing this all of a sudden cause i haven't changed the files or anything since starting the farm

zinc dock
ruby leaf
#

not since before this started. we've always had a good chunk

stark horizon
#

How many machines and how many groups are you automating?

#

And what did you change the interval to?

ruby leaf
#

idk exact counts. but i went from 60 to 120, and the stutter changed to double the amount of time before a stutter. Then i changed it to the highest number, and it only stuttered once in a fair bit. then back down to 60, and it was once every second. so it seems to be stuttering on every check

stark horizon
#

I'd recommend keeping the interval above 120 - I keep mine at 150. Otherwise it will stutter at each tick.

If you are super curious, you can input automate summary into the SMAPI console to get more info.

#

Do you also happen to have Deluxe Grabber Redux?

ruby leaf
#

yeah i have it to 240 so that it's at least somewhat less noticable. but was wondering why it went from year 5 perfectly fine to all of a sudden change.

#

i dont know what that is

stark horizon
#

year 5 is a lot of data in a save file.

The longer you play, the more things the game has to check. Flags for mail received, achievements, friendship levels, etc.

Actually, iirc, there might have been issues with Fishing Info Overlays.

But also, Custom Music and SAAT are resource intensive, so they contribute to lag in game.

I had an issue in multiplayer with long intervals of lag. I assumed it was my connection till I checked my task manager and saw that a windows sound operation was taking up massive amounts of cpu only while playing SDV.
After googling it a solution was to delete my speaker drivers and let them reinstall themselves. That seems to have fixed the issue.
Just gonna leave this here incase someone has a similar problem in the future.

Looks like you've been through the ringer on this one. Ignore me if you've already been asked but could you answer these questions:

  • Was Steam open in the background on launch?
  • Is Steam updated? (try forcing update) If it is, then
  • Does the account you play on own the game? (i.e. not a shared library)
  • Are you using a vpn?
  • Are steams servers down or under maintenance in your region? (check at steamstat.us)

(Android) Sorry for chimeing in again. I'm just kind of confused and maybe I'm doing something wrong. I checked DSV's website, and their Nexus page, and it claims v4 is compatible with Mobile, but it errors out with a Threaded Failed and that system.io.ioexception: permission denied error again. Every other mod I have installed works except for this one.

  1. I updated to Sonoma
  2. I redownloaded Stardrop
  3. I open it, and I get the error message "Unable to locate StardewModdingAPI.exe"
  4. There isn't an exe because I'm on a Mac
  5. Stardrop wants me to locate the SMAPI path. I went to the MacOS folder and copied it from the path bar and pasted it in
  6. Then I get the error "The given file isn't StardewModdingAPI.dll
  7. So I went to that exact file and copied the path from the path bar
  8. I get the error "The given Stardrop installed mods folder path doesn't exist"

I've Gone through and removed the the mods that throw warnings/errors due to personal modding and updated everything as best I can. mostly this error slows down my save load up time to over ten minutes.
