So probably max luck from CJB, or maybe specific luck values make it puke and that happens to be the luck value.

[white wing]

Does anyone play with Longevity? Does it make the game more engaging by putting in restrictions, or is it more making things pointlessly hard? Will I need a budget spreadsheet in order to make it work?

[torn mason]

Longevity

[fair vessel]

It does increase immersion I would say, but be warned that Longevity is a very outdated mod and will be incompatible with many other mods

[royal arrow]

But Jonqora, Safe Lightning is supposed to make it safe :c

[torn mason]

every time someone mentioned longevity everyone who does troubleshooting loses a year off their life

[fair vessel]

I don't know how Safe Lightning makes its changes...

[dire fractal]

@fair vessel yeah, I was just trying to figure out why it seemed like safe lightning wasn't safe. Guessing if I don't forget I turned on cheat settings and play for days the issue will go away.

[white wing]

Oh! I didn't realize it was out of date!

[dire fractal]

IT MAKES MELONS STRONK

[white wing]

I was just one of those mods I always thought about getting but never did.

[dire fractal]

🍈 💪

[fair vessel]

It's been recently updated, don't get us wrong...
It just used outdated methods to do the modding itself

[torn mason]

Longevity is...technically updated, and I think it's finally stopped replacing game files

but there's a long history with it breaking everything in a way that's virtually undetectable

[fair vessel]

There are a number of other mods that accomplish different parts of what Longevity offers; alternatives are available for most (though not all) of its features so far

[dire fractal]

So unlike the havok engine, which does exactly what the name says, longevity does the opposite?

[white wing]

Got it! Thank you for the warning! I don't need any more help breaking my game.

[torn mason]

pretty much the only feature in longevity that isn't done by another mod better is the taxes system, which there is a WIP for

[fair vessel]

e.g. for NPC clothing variety:

• Seasonal Villager Outfits
• Diverse Stardew Valley with Seasonal Villager Outfits
• Seasonal Characters - Slightly Cuter Aesthetic
  (choose whichever one you like the looks of best)

for NPC dialogue:

• Canon-Friendly Dialogue Expansion

for more crops:

• anything PPJA or similar (tons to choose from)

[white wing]

Honestly, I already do play with PPJA and Seasonal Outfits

[torn mason]

to its credit, Longevity was absolutely revolutionary for its time. it is a pretty amazing mod

its just very old

[white wing]

So, I'm not missing much. Thank you again!

[torn mason]

also its closed sourced, which makes it much more difficult for the community as a whole to update or work around it

[fair vessel]

For adding difficulty elsewhere:

• Hardew Valley
• Better Balanced Crafting Recipes
• Minerva's Harder CC Bundles
• Climates of Ferngill (turn on HazardousWeather and/or CropDeath)
• Weather Illnesses/Working Fireplace
• Harder Gift Tastes or RandomTastes
• Hardcore Mines 2 and/or Boss creatures
• Angry Grandpa (on Hard or Expert setting)

[royal arrow]

Jonqora! maybe you can put that sweet list somewhere o: (I can also copy-paste it somewhere lol) so people trying to use Longevity can see. Is it still on nexus for download? o:

[fair vessel]

(a bunch of these are stuff that Longevity doesn't even touch, but are just more areas to add a challenge)

[dire fractal]

Lenne, you may mlem, but havok is crazy. It has side effects like "something puts its foot down while walking down the road and gets blasted into the sun by the rebound force" that get fixed by making sure your render fps is locked to your monitor refresh rate and can't go above it.

[fair vessel]

Yeah feel free to paste the list wherever!

[restive zodiac]

The closed source part of Longevity is frustrating to me, given that so many people have donated time to keeping old mods up to date or submitting pull requests for best practices. So many people come in wanting to use that mod only to find that the part they want to use it for doesn't work with things like custom crops. Maybe someone could have helped 😔

I'm glad they removed the new content XNB files though, and I guess maybe sometimes you just want to develop your own way at your own pace.

[fair vessel]

(with warning that they may not all be inter-compatible with default settings, please tell people to read about what they download lol)

[dire fractal]

whoa, the feature list for longevity is crazy o_o

[royal arrow]

The mlem was at your wit o: ! Because of the pun o.o my reactions are not landing today lol 😆

[dire fractal]

oh no, I got it as humorous

I'm just mad at havok 'cause that issue took about 2 days of testing mods to figure out it wasn't a mod at all. :p

[royal arrow]

... It was Bethesda wasn't it 😐

[dire fractal]

yep, havok is the physics engine for skyrim and a handful (pile?) of their other stuff. dunno if they made it or licensed it.

[stable anchor]

i got skyrim on ps4 cuz my pc is a potato

im sad that they removed several of the mod compatibility for ps4

[dire fractal]

but it's why you step on a spoon and take 20 damage, and that's why I say it's the most appropriately named engine ever made

[royal arrow]

They removed it? I thought it wasn't there at all

OMG I'D FORGOTTEN ABOUT THAT! For me it was skeletons in the dungeons I:

[dire fractal]

I think you can do some mods from the creation club and some other sources but they have a size limit or something, right?

[royal arrow]

You also can't use SKSE (or whatever the acronym is for special edition) so it really narrows the scope

[sharp belfry]

Special edition and SKSE are different things

[royal arrow]

There's an SKSE for special edition, is what I meant

[sharp belfry]

Ah, okay

[dire fractal]

also probably no unofficial patch mods since they're huge

Arknir is braver than I am. I'm too scared of not having a command console to fix things to play bethesda games off-pc.

[stable anchor]

[shy orbit]

pretty much the only feature in longevity that isn't done by another mod better is the taxes system, which there is a WIP for
@torn mason what's that work in progress?

[torn mason]

its not released yet

im in contact with the dev but they're keeping it on the down low until its done

especially since life has been, uh, -gestures generally to the world- so things are slow

[shy orbit]

okay. is it only the taxes system or does it plan to also do the dynamic sell price thing longevity has?

[torn mason]

my understanding is that it's the whole thing, but open source and made with compatibility with other mods in mind

[supple echo]

I seem to have installed a mod in with the Artisan Valley general lump that adds iridium ore plants and presumably other ores too. I would actually prefer to get my ore more traditionally, anyone know the likely culprit offhand? I'll go dig through my mods folder later :p

[royal arrow]

Fantasy Crops

[torn mason]

fantasy crops

jinx hehe

[supple echo]

Lol thanks

[shy orbit]

okay

[supple echo]

For whatever reason "iridium plant" throws me way more than "chicken vine" 😄

Anyway, I'm working real hard to make Grandpa love me so I'll eventually have more iridium than I know what to do with ;)

[outer turret]

Okay I think I will rewrite the Mr G/Willy scene so choosing to tell Willy the truth is best option. I'll leave the moral choice in because that sort of thing is not uncommon in video games (and theres many times when I was giving 2 options but neither felt right, like with Shane's 14 heart a simple "I trust you" option wouldve been preferable )

[royal arrow]

But disappointing him is so funny, especially on the nuclear setting o: (with Angry Grandpa lol)

[supple echo]

Haha, maybe I should try that

[outer turret]

I always feel the iridium statue devalues iridium and Skull Cavern massively.

[supple echo]

I'm coming up on my first evaluation for the SVE save

[royal arrow]

Making him happy on the nuclear setting is also great though 😆

[outer turret]

Like running Skull Cavern is such a fun challenge when u need the resources.

[supple echo]

Vanilla grandpa is pretty nice to you really, so it's funny that he'll apologize for being harsh on a do-over

I die a lot in Skull Cavern :)

[royal arrow]

I hardly make it to the skull cavern >_>

And when I do, I don't spend that much time in there 😅

[shy orbit]

yeah, skull cavern always feels pretty much useless to me. maybe i should put some rule on the use of the statue, like only starting using it in year 4 or something

[supple echo]

Stardew Valley Nuzlocke challenge? :o

Actually, I'm doing pretty well on iridium this run. SC elevator and the better quarry redux mod help a lot

[royal arrow]

@fair vessel .quote 4960 will pull a consolidated message of all your suggestions for Longevity alternatives (the nexus comment page for it is locked).

[fair vessel]

Vanilla grandpa is pretty nice to you really, so it's funny that he'll apologize for being harsh on a do-over
I think this is mostly for the benefit of people who did their first evaluation on SDV v1.04-, and then updated to a newer version of the game that allows re-evaluations.

[heavy willow]

Question about Portraiture-- I've created a few new portraits and they do display, but despite being hi res they are pixel art and so they seem to get a bit warped-- The original art doesn't fully match what shows up in the game. Is there a way to adjust the scaling in portraiture so it will display the art better or a certain size I should use to avoid weird warping?

[fair vessel]

High-res Portraiture sheets should be 512 pixels wide, does that help?

So each portrait image is 256x256

And if you're making a high-res replacement for a character that only has one portrait on their sheet, you need to duplicate it and put 2 copies side-by-side so it will be 512 pixels

[heavy willow]

Right-- I did read that, it just seems that the scaling is meant more for non-pixelized artwork, I might be a few pixels off so maybe I'll try editing it a bit

[fair vessel]

(the game will only use the first portrait, the second one is just there so portrait understands how to load the scaling)

Hm. Feel free to share your portrait image here on discord, someone can take a look

oooh i just learned this apparently any size works, but 512x512 (for a single portrait? 🤔) is considered the upper limit for optimal loading times

[plush moat]

Out of curiosity, does anyone know of a mod that removes the nerf to machines that was introduced with 1.4 that causes machines to only tick down 100 minutes, no matter what time you go to bed, as opposed to 240min + when you went to bed?

[unreal urchin]

Wait a sec...

If stardew valley has sold 10 million copies and sve has 1 million downloads does that mean that 1 out of 10 stardew players plays with sve?

[plush moat]

I mean Stardew has sold probably way more than 10 million by now

that is to say, likely it's a chunk

[sharp belfry]

Is that unique downloads tho

[unreal urchin]

It was like 10 million earlier this year

[royal arrow]

Are those unique downloads? Remember all them updates lol yea

[unreal urchin]

well lots of people buy multiple copies of stardew

oh and yeah you download a new one for updates

forgot about that

still a huge chunk

[royal arrow]

Also, they can download it but not have used it (me)

[unreal urchin]

Also apparently all the npcs have dialogue during the egg hunt?

How am I supposed to talk to all of them that quickly?

[royal arrow]

R e p l a y a b i l i t y

[sharp belfry]

Nah, it repeats what they say before the event starts

[unreal urchin]

oh

sad

[sharp belfry]

Yeah

[unreal urchin]

Still want an option to say "start the egg hunt but I'm not participating

[sharp belfry]

Mood

I also want some NPCs to beat abigail sometimes

[supple echo]

I'd like the hunt to randomize who wins if it's not you. Abigail just walks away with it every year and it's a little unfair!

Jas for egg hunt winner! Jas and Vincent team up to win together! Sam wins and gives Vincent the prize… idk 😄

maybe I should put that in the mod suggestions

[daring wagon]

https://smapi.io/log/e28b2814357a478e8ca41b74ca07bc60 I blame all of you in this channel for my 508 mods

[sharp belfry]

It could be like it's 50% abigail 50% someone else to preserve all the "she's crazy good" dialogue relevance

@daring wagon nice

[daring wagon]

And I think during my download orgy earlier today I saw a mod that did that

It looked cute 🙂

[plush moat]

Not to repeat but anyone got any ideas on my mod question? I don't plan on bumping more than this just hoping the community here might have an idea.

[daring wagon]

Ian what mod question?

scrolls up

Oh machine nerf, no idea sorry

Jonqora just posted a list of mods that make stardew harder, but I've never wanted to do that... lemme see if I can find his post...

[plush moat]

I mean I found out about it last night

I was wondering why my machines seemed to take longer, why Jams and Pickles seamed to take way longer

[daring wagon]

For adding difficulty elsewhere:

• Hardew Valley
• Better Balanced Crafting Recipes
• Minerva's Harder CC Bundles
• Climates of Ferngill (turn on HazardousWeather and/or CropDeath)
• Weather Illnesses/Working Fireplace
• Harder Gift Tastes or RandomTastes
• Hardcore Mines 2 and/or Boss creatures
• Angry Grandpa (on Hard or Expert setting)

From Jonqora

Maybe the better balanced crafting recipes does something similar?

[plush moat]

I'm more looking to remove the introduced nerf, but that being said it might allow me to change it towards what it was before

I dunno if there's a list o: ! I text them to myself LOL

[daring wagon]

lol that sounds just about right

[royal arrow]

"Quote 4906 is for fixing spouse area outside
Quote 4471 is for software to use for modding"

[daring wagon]

Ah I found the mod-it randomizes the flower queen. Bet someone could figure out from that how to randomize the egg hunt!!

Oooh it's a CP mod. Maybe I could figure that out instead of messing with adding new flower crops to the game...

[royal arrow]

Porque no los dos? cue the music
You can have 2 projects, is what I'm saying lol

[daring wagon]

I like your style

I just hate spriting flowers

lol I should stop complaining and just write this thing!

[royal arrow]

It's ok, it seems people have that one thing they don't like. Making walking sprites is a common thing lol
Also, beware having too many projects though o: lot of the cheetos have so many mod ideas they get overwhelmed and it's tough to finish them :c so pace yourself

[night obsidian]

I saw some mod on YouTube with a bed in your house that is for 7 people.

Does anyone know what mod that is?

Hi there! Images with little context like that are better suited for #images-and-memes :) cute cat though!

[limpid herald]

has anyone else had problems with accessing the Deep Cave in SVE in MP?

[sinful sigil]

Noticed a string of errors happening last night. Nothing crashed, but I'm still a bit concerned, can someone tell me if this is something serious or if I can just...continue on?

[royal arrow]

Longevity

[sinful sigil]

How do I fix it? Or did it fix itself? Because that's the ONLY time it acted fussy and then it was fine for the rest of the night. (I kept an eye on SMAPI's log the whole session)

[royal arrow]

I know nothing about Longevity except it's an older mod and we're all usually like around it
But! It's possible it was a fluke?

This mod failed in the Player.Warped event. Technical details: 
System.IO.IOException: The process cannot access the file 'C:\Users\Documents\Steam\steamapps\common\Stardew Valley\Mods\Longevity-649-v1-7-0-1593478970\Data.txt' because it is being used by another process.```
This sounds weird, even for errors. It's the only time it's happened though? ![SDVpufferthink](https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/280082838773301258.webp?size=128 "SDVpufferthink")

[sinful sigil]

So far? I literally just played it for the first time last night.

[royal arrow]

Ah, ok

[sinful sigil]

I'll do some testing and I'll let you know if it happens again. 😔

Is SVE a more stable mod?

omg I have achieved animal perfection

(Chonkins, Elle's New Barn Animals, Elle's Old Horses, Bunnies That Actually Hop, Paritee's Ducks though you can't actually see a duck here)

they're so cute

Is the lil purple to the left a void chonkin O: ?

[past lynx]

Does anyone know if the PPJA mods that have crafting stations is compatible with Automate mod? Or maybe there's a compatibility mod/patch I have overlooked?

[royal arrow]

Yea you need Producer Framework Mod and PFMAutomate

With both of those, they should work

[past lynx]

Ooo! Thanke very much

[static birch]

mods in stardew valley?

since when XD

[royal arrow]

Now I want to convert the bunny mod I use to Bunnies That Actually Hop :c but not only am I not a pixelsmith, I know nothing about pixel art beyond copying and pasting

[safe veldt]

what can I type into the automate folder so that it can automate garden pots?

[supple echo]

yessss that is a void chonkin

[royal arrow]

From the mod description, it doesn't look like it can be done o:

I was using Elle's lop-eared bunnies before, also adorable, but I switched out the other two coop animals so I figured it would be less trouble to just take out Elle's coop mod and swap in that one 🙂

[sinful sigil]

Are there any mods that add taxes like Longevity? I'm still looking @ the list but I'm not seeing any of them adding taxes and that was probably my favorite feature of Longevity I saw on the list; the idea that I need to consider what I'm purchasing and how it'll affect my finances.

[supple echo]

I'm still using Elle's barn mod though so I have alpaca sheep 😊

[fair vessel]

has anyone else had problems with accessing the Deep Cave in SVE in MP?
@limpid herald Do you mean the one in the farm cave or the one in the Crimson Badlands?

Farm cave -> probably a fixable issue, share a link to the host log and farmhand log maybe we can find the problem.

Crimson Badlands cave -> much less likely to be fixable, may be an broader issue of location maps not synching all the time unless host and farmhand are there together. I've experienced similar issues with the DeepWoods mod in multiplayer.

[shy orbit]

@sinful sigil there is the shipping taxes mod but it only affects goods sold through the shipping bin, and also you would have to manually adjust the tax percentage to whatever values you want... and it's just that, a tax on goods shipped, so quite limited. but still better than nothing imo

[royal arrow]

I thought it has difficulties with JA items? I could be misremembering though o:

[fair vessel]

I think I've seen a cool mod that lets you take out loans... gives interesting money management challenges from another angle

Here is loan mod!
https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/3882
No experience with it personally, but it seems to be popular. Read comments etc etc.

[sinful sigil]

oo

I might check out the shipping tax thing, or just deactivate parts of Longevity I don't like and replace them with other mods and just keep it's tax system.

[fair vessel]

That could work, depending on the inner workings of its config!

[sinful sigil]

I'll report in when I've figured it out!

thanks again for the help ❤️

You're welcome!

[stable anchor]

@outer turret if you give me a picture reference i can make baby sprites for you eventually

[outer turret]

do you jsut want to see the dad? And go with imagination?

[stable anchor]

hmmm ok

[outer turret]

or do you need costumes?

[stable anchor]

it would help

idk what appeals to you

so just being descriptive as much as you want i can try to fulfill

[outer turret]

then I have to think if it! Let me google

like sample pics and stuff then ya

i just need to finish lucikiel first, and then ill offer you toddler sprites

okay, i' shallponder it Thank you!

[trail lotus]

hello D: im so sorry to ask, but how do I delete mods @__@

[stable anchor]

usually you can just remove from your mods folder

but some mods have instructions

[outer turret]

what's the mod?

some you need to be more careful with

[stable anchor]

just note if you delete custom NPC mods, things can get a bit hectic

[trail lotus]

I downloaded a bunch load a few months back and have no clue how to locate them/delete them @__@

I haven't touched stardew in about 6 months ><

[stable anchor]

the mods you remove will only affect the saved files you had them originally

so if you remove huge mods like SVE, your save file will end up very chaotic

chaotic as in weird looking

[trail lotus]

D:

[serene rivet]

@onyx sapphire Good quality of life mods are "UI Info Suite"; "LookUpAnything", "FastAnimations", "NPC Map Locations" and maybe "Automate" (depends on your playstyle)
Turn of the npc locating in Ui info suite options, so you dont have double npcs on the map, because of Npc map locations.

[trail lotus]

Should I just wipe out all the mods and start new?

[fair vessel]

SVE is not too bad to remove actually. Just trash any items it added first, use RTF to fix your bushes afterward, and NoClip mod to tidy up your mess of a farm (if you used IF2R)

[outer turret]

custom NPCs are generally fine to remove, thanks to Smapi

[trail lotus]

Most of my mods were like... changes to the appearance?

[outer turret]

the issue I think is json assets.

[trail lotus]

Cabins/Farms/Animals

[outer turret]

apperance changing things should be able to be rmoved safely.

if unsure, try putting a .. in front of the folder name and opening the game.

[royal arrow]

L-log? Before we scare them further?

!log

[native dragon]

Can you upload your SMAPI log to https://smapi.io/log (see instructions on that page) and share the link here?

i removed SVE on my mod and now grass grows on the front steps of my house 🤣

[outer turret]

If it crashes, remove the .. but it it loads safely, you're all good.

[onyx sapphire]

@serene rivet Thanks for the ideas! I'll write them down and check them out in a bit!

[stable anchor]

Its a test file i use for testing, so it doesnt bother me much

Lol so... it was my friend's birthday today, I gifted her Stardew:

[serene rivet]

Np. They all improve Quality of life in the game by a huge margin.

[stable anchor]

my friends keep asking me to mod them too

but i tell them theyre perfect the way they are

[outer turret]

I would love to co-op but my games are so mod heavy it's too daunting to set them up!

[stable anchor]

[outer turret]

i'd still recommend playing vanilla before you mod the heck out of a game

[stable anchor]

doesnt everyone need some of the same mods as the host player for them to work?

@trail lotus this will help us give you more info

Can you upload your SMAPI log to https://smapi.io/log (see instructions on that page) and share the link here?

i'd still recommend playing vanilla before you mod the heck out of a game
@outer turret yeah. I'm going to be somewhat conservative for that reason. But still will add tons of aesthetic mods, QOL mods, etc

[stable anchor]

i learned that in multiplayer mode, you regains stamina quickly if you lay in bed

[outer turret]

I started modding specifically because of Rotate Toolbar

[stable anchor]

i added that affect in custom maps i made

[fair vessel]

I can already tell my friend will be disappointed with me for holding back 😅

[royal arrow]

Yea I did the same for my bro and my SO, 1 map edit (Less Yellow Stardew, which is close to vanilla), some dialog expansions, and light QoL mods

[rose python]

Question. I found a fairies mod and had to install the custom critter. Thing is, the installation instructions stated that I needed to open the "critters" folder under the custom critter mod folder, which isn't there. So I figured, maybe I just need to make one and copy and paste the "all fairies" folder into it. I haven't open the game to see if it even worked, because right now I am stuck on wanting to edit the json critter file to make the fairies spawn not just in the woods, but my home as well (around my home area) but I am not sure what to type under locations.

Sorry for the big wall of text.

[stable anchor]

can you send the link of the mod page?

[rose python]

Absolutely. https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/3604?tab=description

https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/1255

There is the fairies mod and the custom critters that is needed for it.

Also was able to figure out the whole horse/dog skin replacement but the cat folder is non-existent lmao.

[outer turret]

If you want them to appear all over the place (not just in the woods), add in your desired locations in the content file under "Locations."

[trail lotus]

@royal arrow https://smapi.io/log/5685f795b7a54e9d87eb3bc6d629154e

so "Farm"? might work?

[rose python]

Yes, I get that but what do I type?

[trail lotus]

I'm not quite sure if that's how it works but D:

[rose python]

Farm? oki.

[outer turret]

it might also be farm-type specific though

[rose python]

blooody hell.

yes, "Farm" works

[rose python]

I am scared that'll just one little booboo it'll just mess up everything 😛

https://gyazo.com/4700fe6a9d3b7d376026f37a67813df3

[royal arrow]

@trail lotus ah, your load order is not as scary as we thought! These are the ones you need to be careful about:

+ Coii Girls Skirt for JsonAssets 1.0.0
+ Coii's Girls Sets Pack For JsonAssets 1.0.0
+ Pleated Skirt with Socks for JSON assets 1.0.0```
You want to make sure you delete/sell **every single one of these items** in your inventory, chests, dressers, etc. Leave no trace
Once you delete them all, then you can uninstall

[rose python]

so i typed it in like that?

[outer turret]

I think it will be ["Woods, Farm"],

[shy orbit]

[ "Woods", "Farm" ]

[trail lotus]

uhm. is there a way for me to just restart everything? I'm completely fine with creating a new game

[slow notch]

Hi can someone help me I tried to download mods and launch it thru the modding api thing and it won’t load I’m confused help

[royal arrow]

LOL if you'd rather just start a new game, you definitely can 😄

[stable anchor]

starting a new game is like a fresh new clean slate

[outer turret]

just delete the mods first. And be aware that your old save may no longer open.

[rose python]

https://gyazo.com/47f150359a4eb569f785547e74a794fb

[royal arrow]

(that's what I do instead of uninstalling any PPJA mod )

[rose python]

are spaces needed at all?

[trail lotus]

omg okay, thank you so much @_@ So can I just delete every mod and start a new game?

[royal arrow]

Yup!

[outer turret]

or shove the mods into a folder labelled ..Unistalled

so you know what they are for if you decide to reopen your old save

[royal arrow]

Heck you might want to delete the Mods folder and uninstall SMAPI, if you just want them gone forever 😄

[rose python]

ok so let's pray it worked. i'll go start the game

[stable anchor]

Lemur how do you do that dark box thing?

[royal arrow]

You add ` at the beginning and end of your message, but in 3s that messed up lol

[stable anchor]

oh

ok i see

[trail lotus]

LOL I do want to use a mod. The one that makes your character run a little faster

[stable anchor]

thanks

[trail lotus]

I would just have to redownload it, correct?

[royal arrow]

You can also do them in singles like so

[stable anchor]

waw

[royal arrow]

@trail lotus in that case, don't delete the whole Mods folder or uninstall SMAPI, but yes 😄

[stable anchor]

that makes it easier for when i try to share certain parts of my content.json

[trail lotus]

@royal arrow thank you, I know I'm a handful @_@ Should I just moved the mods or let them be when creating a new game?

tysm

[distant depot]

Hey yall! Noticed someone went to town square to ask for help and told us their question got buried

[stable anchor]

[distant depot]

Hi can someone help me I tried to download mods and launch it thru the modding api thing and it won’t load I’m confused help
@slow notch

[stable anchor]

[rose python]

damn

apparently the custom critter mod is no longer compatible

[royal arrow]

@trail lotus You're fine, no worries! If you don't want specific mods, delete them, and keep only the one you want

[rose python]

smapi skipped it :c

[stable anchor]

sad

[rose python]

i just want fairies

[royal arrow]

@slow notch hi, have you seen this guide? https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Player_Guide

[stable anchor]

for jelly, are they using the most recent version of SMAPI?

[distant depot]

I have no clue

im just a random person

[slow notch]

Yes

I followed a tutorial on YouTube perfectly

Still doesn’t work

I really don’t think that guide will help me since I’ve already done everything I was supposed to do

[stable anchor]

can you send me the youtube link?

im curious

[slow notch]

Yes

[royal arrow]

If you're new to SDV modding, you may not know that tutorial videos can get outdated quickly because things change quickly. We know the wiki guide is updated, so it's got the most current info. Please try it and let us know if you get stuck on certain steps

[trail lotus]

@royal arrow it is me once again, so so sorry. When creating a new game, how do I add mods to it?

[royal arrow]

All good! When you launched your game, did you load it through SMAPI, like was there the console (black window)?

[trail lotus]

Oh, I haven't tried it yet actually. ah let me do it rn

Yes, there's a black window

[royal arrow]

As a side note this is my main channel so I check it pretty frequently, so you don't have to ping

Then I got good news for you: as long as you have the mod you wanted in the Mods folder, it's already loaded!
So you can just start a new game

[trail lotus]

Sorry !!!

[royal arrow]

It's ok

[trail lotus]

Is there a way for me to exclude some mods? I think it loaded every mod from the last time I played

[slow notch]

Anyone know what this means?

[royal arrow]

@trail lotus Depends on how fancy you want to get. You can remove mods you don't want, or create mod groups! More info below

!modgroups

[native dragon]

See this link for how to load different mod groups: https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Player_Guide/Getting_Started#Can_I_have_different_mod_groups.3F.

[royal arrow]

!log jelly#1319 can you upload your log? It'll give us more info on your error

[native dragon]

@slow notch Can you upload your SMAPI log to https://smapi.io/log (see instructions on that page) and share the link here?

[trail lotus]

I'd love to remove some mods overall

[royal arrow]

You can just delete them if you don't want them o:

[trail lotus]

Oh! Okay, do I just chuck them out the mods folder?

[royal arrow]

Yup!

[trail lotus]

Oh gosh, tysm for the help

[restive zodiac]

@slow notch Did you copy SMAPI onto your desktop or something? Make sure you are either running it from your game folder like normal, or make a shortcut to it (not a copy of the whole exe) if that's applicable.

[royal arrow]

You're welcome, mina!

Also I realize now I probably confused you by pinging you a ton, my bad I just didn't want my reply to get lost, sorry about that 😅

[stable anchor]

[slow notch]

This is giving me a headache

I tried to do exactly what it said

And it won’t work so I can’t share my log

Mouse omg ur a life saver

Nvm it didn’t work

[stable anchor]

🏆

[restive zodiac]

SMAPI won't make a log if it doesn't even launch. Are you getting the same problem now or a new one?

[slow notch]

Same problem

Idk if I moved the right thing into the right folder

I’m really bad with this stuff

[restive zodiac]

You shouldn't have needed to move anything into a folder if SMAPI was installed - you ran the installer, right? Green text at the end and everything?

[slow notch]

Green text?

[restive zodiac]

Just saying 'SMAPI is installed successfully, if you're using Steam copy paste this into your launch options' If it did, you should be able to open your game folder (https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Game_folder) and start StardewModdingAPI.exe from there directly. Is that what you were doing?

[stable anchor]

heres an example of what mouse is talking about

[slow notch]

That’s what I did I think

The API is in the stardew valley folder

OMG

Mouse

[restive zodiac]

pauses hopefully

[slow notch]

I started it from the folder and now something else came up

THE GAME LOADED

I love you

You are now going to be the godfather(or mother) of my future children

[stable anchor]

A "Mods" folder will also appear shortly after installing SMAPI in your stardew valley folder

[royal arrow]

is beloved, as they should be

[slow notch]

I understand why

Mouse just saved my life

[trail lotus]

oop. Is CJBItemSpawner the same as the CJBcheat mod? the one that makes you zoom fast?

[hardy steeple]

Anyone here played SVE with the Sophia marriage path? Thinkin' of choosing them cuz they gave me some cool sprinklers and that was very helpful earlygame but I was wondering what happens to the big house she lives in if she moves in with the player?

[royal arrow]

No they're 2 different mods, mina o:

Spawner lets you spawn items, Cheats Menu lets you run fast and adjust all kinds of other settings
I use it for the movement speed, infinite water can, no friendship decay, and no fence decay

[trail lotus]

monkaS now I need to download that

[stable anchor]

[trail lotus]

Could any lovely soul let me know the mod that lets more people join and lets the game run on its own?

[stable anchor]

i remember that mod

but i never used it myself

[trail lotus]

LOL me needs it

[rare quest]

@hardy steeple Sophia works at the vineyard a couple days out of the week when married to the player. She's getting a revamped marriage schedule in 1.11, filled with more work schedules and unique schedule dialogue.

[hardy steeple]

Oh, cool! Thank you very much, mr dev.

It's nice that they have their own sort of lives, that's something that felt off about the vanilla candidates tbh.

[supple echo]

Immersive Spouses is nice for vanilla married folk having lives 🙂

[fair vessel]

Could any lovely soul let me know the mod that lets more people join and lets the game run on its own?
@trail lotus Always On Server for Multiplayer

You may also be thinking of Unlimited Players mod

[hardy steeple]

yo that's a thing??

[supple echo]

I just got this amazing cutscene where Marnie hires Shane as a ranch hand and I don't know which mod it came from

[hardy steeple]

Always On would be amazing, but does it cause other players to face penalties like Lost Friendshop?

[fair vessel]

I don't remember if farmhands lose friendship points while offline 🤔

Always On Server runs the host account with a very basic AI. You could set it up on a virtual machine if you wanted, keep it running 24/7, and everyone in a group could connect to it as farmhands and be on equal footing.

[hardy steeple]

So can farmhands pass time, then?

[fair vessel]

If no farmhands are logged in, the AI pauses the game. If at least one farmhand is logged in, time will progress

[hardy steeple]

Is the AI just the main farmer just hopping out of bed and back into the bed each morning if players are online?

[fair vessel]

Mostly, but also doing some other things (like walking around to CC to trigger cutscenes that only the host can activate)

[hardy steeple]

Hmmm... I wonder if there's ever gonna be a mod for a more "dedicated" like server, where it can run 24/7 and everyone has the ability to do cutscenes and essentially act like lead farmers

[fair vessel]

That would require a major overhaul of a lot of game code :/

[hardy steeple]

Ye true, probs not gonna happen anytime soon if at all

[royal arrow]

@supple echo
2 things:

1. how are you liking Immersive Spouses? I've debated back and forth with getting it because I love the concept, but idk if my 29 dialog expansion mods might be lost to the way the mod works :c
2. that's so sweet about Marnie and Shane! I wonder if that's Immersive Shane o:

[outer turret]

I just got this amazing cutscene where Marnie hires Shane as a ranch hand and I don't know which mod it came from
@supple echo oh I got that one too! Maybe Innersive Shane?

I loaded Immersive Spouses for reference reasons and found it has some neat stuff custom NPCs can use too

In terms of how it would affect ones you had it only changes MarriageDialogue.

[supple echo]

The biggest thing I've noticed is seeing Leah around town once in a while (offering to share bottles of wine at the saloon and stuff) and isn't home constantly. Sometimes I wonder where she went in the mornings because I always forget to go see what she has to say 🙂 but it's neat

I also have a bunch of dialogue mods

so far it seems okay

[outer turret]

And also adds random schedule dialogue when they are out and about.

So I think it will have minimal clashing.

[fair vessel]

Ooooh what
"lockPlayerChests": true
this is a feature I didn't know about in Always On Server

[royal arrow]

I just noted they mentioned marriage dialog may get a little more repetitive and I was like nuuu :c

[fair vessel]

Now I know I can recommend it as an option to people who want to protect from thieving farmhands lol

[supple echo]

you get the "I'm going out today" lines more often. Maybe it'd be possible to add more of those! But there are other lines everywhere else

[royal arrow]

Lol do et o.o I'm sure they would be grateful 😄

[supple echo]

and you get the "going out" lines more because… your spouse is going out more 🙂

[royal arrow]

Yea, makes sense. I'd probably end up modifying it for myself then, to maybe combine one of the other mod's lines and just add "going out" related content at the end 😆

As if I need another project >.>

[supple echo]

hehe

I started writing a short intro event for Krobus

although it's mostly some of his vanilla lines with a little embellishment 🙂

it's not in code or json or anything like that, just scripting for now 🙂

[royal arrow]

That's great, I'm so excited for you! Gotta start somewhere

[supple echo]

hehe thanks

[royal arrow]

And you know... 👉 👈 I was actually thinking if you wanted to team up we could, you write the lines and I put them into code learning opportunity for both of us! Although it'd probably be better for both our modding skills to learn how to do both

[supple echo]

I'm game! It'll take me aaaaaaages to learn enough code to do events by myself 🙂

[royal arrow]

Same, I was thinking we could start with dialog LOL

[supple echo]

that I can probably figure out 🙂 I unpacked some of the xnbs to look through

[royal arrow]

And then work our way to events~

[supple echo]

yeah! sounds good

[royal arrow]

OMG I LOVE THIS EVENT

[supple echo]

thank you!

[royal arrow]

I...I...I'm gonna finally get through that modding events page! lol

[supple echo]

it looks like other characters have "introduction" lines… I could edit that to give him until we figure out eventing 🙂

(I nabbed Leah's xnbs to reference for what characters who actually have schedules and lives look like, since I've probably spent the most time talking to her and married her twice)

(I have mental references for what this in the json probably looks like in the game this way!!)

[royal arrow]

you mean like locations and such o: ?

[outer turret]

Dont worry too much about Krobus introduction. Introductions only trigger within 7 days of starting the game.

[royal arrow]

you mean the dialog intro, right?

[outer turret]

Yep.

It's a ConversationTopic tag

Give him an Intro scene instead.

[stable anchor]

introduction scenes are always fun

[supple echo]

ohhhhhhh… yeah there's no danged way anyone's getting in the sewers in the first week. good to know, thanks

[stable anchor]

I made an intro scene too for a custom npc

[hardy steeple]

Krobus could be so cool, imagine if him as a roomate allowed you to adopt baby shadow people.

[outer turret]

Well unless they cheat. Yeh.

[supple echo]

BABY SHADOW PEOPLE!

[outer turret]

Oooh it could be part of the shadow folk restoration

[hardy steeple]

Mini krobus

[outer turret]

Take them as babies to stop them from the void corruption.

[stable anchor]

i saw a female shadow-monster sprite

that would be cute for a toddler

[supple echo]

I was thinking about trying to give him some more trenchcoat portraits in case he starts exploring town later

[outer turret]

Well shadow monster with a bow.

[restive zodiac]

I would rather that just be considered a shadow person with a bow regardless of gender

[outer turret]

Not necessarily a girl.

[restive zodiac]

I wish Krobus sometimes wore a bow... :P

[stable anchor]

yeah u rite

[outer turret]

Lol mouse and I are typing the same. Is called shadow girl though.

[supple echo]

I'm not a very good pixel artist, but I could probably edit the hat and coat onto his emotive portraits

[royal arrow]

Krobus wouldn't know it was considered gendered, now that you mention it o: if it's shiny, he'd probably be game 😆

[restive zodiac]

I know, the file name has always irritated me and even though more monster diversity would be cool, I'm glad it didn't end up getting used that way or as like a Krobus girlfriend or something :P

[supple echo]

there's a Krobus Santa Hat mod that would be a cute Krobus winter outfit 🙂

I can dream big 😄 but first, dialogue

[outer turret]

Yeh. I'm with you Mouse. Why put a bow on something to denote gender

[restive zodiac]

instant smurf

[hardy steeple]

Plz. Shadow baybey. I require.

[outer turret]

Except to tell the two apart I guess.

[stable anchor]

what if shadow people wore different articles of clothing as a form of identity?

[royal arrow]

I almost starting getting lost looking at the modding events page and then I was like "no Lenne, what's rule # 1 of modding? 'Look at an existing mod, reverse-engineer it'"

[outer turret]

I still feel shadow folk should not be gendered at all

[stable anchor]

to tell themselves apart, if you had a bee-hive mentality

[outer turret]

Arknir you need to play Festival of the Mundane. It's great.

[hardy steeple]

Are shadowfolk even born? Or do they just pop up out of the void?

[stable anchor]

wuzzat

[outer turret]

All questions to answer in Immersice Krobus.

[royal arrow]

I just a few minutes ago thought it might be fun if they do the mitosis thing

[stable anchor]

ooooh festival of mundane looks like a cool mod

[hardy steeple]

You get one roomate krobus and then at 14 hearts they become two krobus

[restive zodiac]

(re: to tell the two apart - Yeah, but when you have no clear gender markers on a species, any one that you see could technically be either or none. When you add a new one with a human gender marker and say "this is the girl" it makes it the only girl because now you know the bow means that. It's just awkward now :P )

[outer turret]

And why are the ones in the caves hostile?

[stable anchor]

i do like hidden lore sprinkled with plot

[outer turret]

Maybe we should make a dozen with various human accessories.

Cat ears, hats, jewellery.

[shy orbit]

i just was thinking if i could make the new leah marriage dialogue mod compatible with immersive spouses... i guess you'd have to set multiple dialog possibilities for the few days she doesn't go out of the house with immersive spouses

[royal arrow]

could give them unassuming names, leave it vague~

[fair vessel]

Make a shadow person with a hat

[royal arrow]

oooh cool fedora~ or cowboy hat

[outer turret]

Well Krobus isnt exactly a gendered name

[sharp belfry]

Maybe we should make a dozen with various human accessories.
@outer turret randomize from the player hats 🤣

[fair vessel]

I'm imagining one of those tissue paper crowns you get in Christmas crackers

[supple echo]

Krobus in scarves would be really, really cute

[outer turret]

Everyone who is keen should design one of their own.

[supple echo]

hats would be good too

[stable anchor]

is it a collaboration?

cuz that would sound like a fun idea

of customizing our own shadow person

[sharp belfry]

It can be if you want it to be

[outer turret]

I was gonna do it with goblins.

[keen moss]

SVO gives Krobus scarves (to some extent)

[stable anchor]

I do like doing sprite art

[restive zodiac]

I was just getting the cute umbrella and came back for that, don't RUIN IT para

[outer turret]

But for the love of criminy if we end up creating mass npcs make them antisocial.

[restive zodiac]

that is all

[stable anchor]

but think of the benefits

[keen moss]

But the leaf one!

[stable anchor]

a shadow village

[restive zodiac]

crap that's the one I wanted

[royal arrow]

that can be phase 2 or 3 lol

[stable anchor]

each with their own custom dialogue, they each only say one thing unique to the creator

[supple echo]

haha yeah

[restive zodiac]

I need UP TO DATE LEAF

[keen moss]

Send his leaf umbrella portrait

That’s a hella old version mouse

[outer turret]

Okay guys... maybe we can join Krobus to help him liberate his kin from the void.

[stable anchor]

cuute

[sharp belfry]

Make Pelican Town actually deserving of the town title by absolutely flooding it with npcs

[supple echo]

I like all these ideas very much but just to be clear, this is at a veeeeeerrrrry early stage 😄

[keen moss]

sad mobile noises

[restive zodiac]

I know this is an old folder and why I was laughing when I saw you typing - I was like "oh no where did my SVO go WAIT I DELETED IT TO TEST A MOD it's going to take forever to download"

[keen moss]

xD

[restive zodiac]

"I will search for folder as I am certain I have several versions NO PARA IS TYPING" haha

[keen moss]

We posted our messages at the same time which makes it better

[supple echo]

I was actually thinking it would be neat if Krobus enlisted you somehow to help heal the void-corrupted shadow people 🙂

not sure if more a lore thing or if gameplay also

[stable anchor]

i think its a cute idea

[keen moss]

I should give him some more stuff like a raincoat.

[supple echo]

heck, are they corrupted or just so used to humans attacking that they attack regardless? or both?

[sharp belfry]

not sure if more a lore thing or if gameplay also
@supple echo both

[stable anchor]

if they are corrupted, they can just have different dialogue?

[supple echo]

if gameplay, might need to alter the ways the player can interact with Shadow People in the mines

[outer turret]

Could you utilise the pacifist valley type code to show them kindness?

[stable anchor]

like random hissing noises

[restive zodiac]

(I have so many versions of all these folders, I am getting desperate haha. You can tell by the fact that I deleted a mod instead of disabling it, I was drowning in all these . folders )

[supple echo]

ooooooh that's a thought

[sharp belfry]

Wait shit guys kick me to sleep please, it's 2 and I have to pack in the morning 0-0

[royal arrow]

also wondering if anyone here's familiar with Skyrim and the Clockwork Castle mod, but I get similar vibes re:corrupted people in a dungeon-y area

[stable anchor]

they dont need portraits too, we just need sprites

[supple echo]

I was debating whether the slingshot could somehow be used to fling tranquilizer darts 😆

[outer turret]

If anyone has seen Jas's 8 heart event from my mod.

[royal arrow]

BAI JANI GO TO BED O: (there's your kick)

[sharp belfry]

You assume I remember which mod is yours lemur

[supple echo]

@restive zodiac I have a folder of mods I've disabled or want to try but haven't gotten around to yet, sometimes I just move stuff in there

[outer turret]

Ranch expansion

[sharp belfry]

Ohhh

[outer turret]

There arent many Jas event mods

[supple echo]

and Krobus would get mad at you for killing shadow people

[outer turret]

The only other one is really old

[royal arrow]

it's old but it's cute o: there's 1 event in particular that's my fave

[sharp belfry]

Honestly I forget what mods I have installed and which ones actually exist

[supple echo]

maybe could alter the "extermination" goal eventually to "number of healed/befriended shadow people"

[outer turret]

I wasnt sure it would even work.

[supple echo]

also guys I love this but I've gotta eat dinner, I'll be back okay?

[restive zodiac]

SVE had an event like that at one point (re: Krobus being upset about killing friends in the mines) but I was kinda meh on it.

[outer turret]

Does it go alongside mine ok Lenne?

That scene made me uncomfortable Mouse.

[sharp belfry]

Okay I gotta mute this server, otherwise I'm never gonna leave, byeee 🤣

[outer turret]

No dont leave! Okay bye :)

[restive zodiac]

I think it's difficult to walk the line with dark content in the game, because it is already in the game, but a lot of times in hints or events that can be missed or forgotten about, or even just consumed without thinking of the implications... so then people try to build on those elements just like building on scant lore and it can be jarring but in this case it was also Krobus so I am biased :P

[hardy steeple]

Cure krobi in the mines via an item like the zombie villagers in mc

[royal arrow]

yea it does Lemurkat! one event in particular ||has her "sneaking" out, which is a little similar to her hanging out with Mr. Ginger after dark 🙂 ||

[restive zodiac]

I have located cute leaf (SVO)

[stable anchor]

ahhhh thats adorable

[royal arrow]

is he incognito in that last portrait o: ?

[stable anchor]

yes

||for one of the main story quests in stardew valley||

[royal arrow]

welp I'm revealing the fact I've only made it to year 3 and finished the CC but not even seen the CC event LOL

what happened was that was my vanilla save, and then I started modding. the rest is history

[stable anchor]

i know about it because I mod and dive into files

i mod more than i play now

im still procastinating btw

[royal arrow]

oh no, so you didn't even see it in-game?

[stable anchor]

i know where you see it

but triggering the quest is annoying

but no

[royal arrow]

who is sylvius btw o: ?

[stable anchor]

a friend

[restive zodiac]

(It's not so much during a main story event, it's what he wears when you invite him to the movies )

[royal arrow]

OHHHHHH that makes more sense then. He tryna blend in~

[stable anchor]

hes trying not be suspicious in his cute little way

[restive zodiac]

(so cute )

[outer turret]

Even Festival if the Mundane doesnt sit well with you massacring their kin.

[royal arrow]

see this is why he deserves more content he's so cuuuute~

[outer turret]

He could also invite you to the festival (or does he? I dunno cos I snuck in pre access)

[stable anchor]

if there was ever a war between shadow people and dwarves

i would go team krobus

like a modded war

without dark themes

[restive zodiac]

Krobus doesn't want war 😔

[outer turret]

Like sports?

[stable anchor]

thats a fun idea

👀

peaceful competitions

[outer turret]

There wont be in my mods. Dwarf is alone.

Believes they're the last.

[royal arrow]

egg hunt! ice fishing! aaand everyone's favorite the prairie king thing lol

[outer turret]

Might not be.

[stable anchor]

big sad

[outer turret]

Im all for immersive Dwarf too.

As long as the two can end up in a bromance

(BFFs)

[stable anchor]

that'd be cute to see

its just that their translation thing is a hassle for most players

but id love to see that

[outer turret]

Yeh. Marrying Jasper makes it easier.

Hell give you Dwarvish scrolls until you get the guide.

I needed u to understand dwarf for jaspers 14 heart

[rare quest]

(I cut that krobus event out of SVE a long long time ago)

[keen moss]

I’d love if there was a mod to make Krobus show up at festivals so I could give him festival outfits

Now I could do that but I’m also to lazy

[outer turret]

Man. Were already tight for space!

[keen moss]

MORE

[outer turret]

But I'd love to see it.

[keen moss]

I wonder.....

[outer turret]

For Spirits Eve he could be naked.

[keen moss]

scuttles off

[outer turret]

(Besides hes busy on spirits eve)

[royal arrow]

yea he's at the festival of the mundane~

but also he could just hang out in a corner like the wizard does o:

[stable anchor]

can you even reach the wizard in vanilla without mods?

i was able to talk to him with the jump anywhere mod

[outer turret]

In some events yes

But not spirits eve

[royal arrow]

yea I jumped behind the counter to talk to Pierre and he was like "how did you get back here?" it was the funniest most unexpected thing

[stable anchor]

spirits eve i jumped over that cliff to talk to him

[outer turret]

Or flower dance.

[stable anchor]

oh yeah i remember that lol

[royal arrow]

I did it at the flower dance though lol

[outer turret]

Mr ginger was up there too

[stable anchor]

i use jump everywhere too much

[outer turret]

But I move him in the update.

Right gonna update stuff... should I hide ES's undeveloped areas or let ppl explore them?

[stable anchor]

[restive zodiac]

I'm torn, I want Krobus everywhere and with cute outfits, but I kinda don't want him with all those people where he could be spotted I think I would rather he stayed safe and then poked around after the people were gone... maybe getting into the spirit alone with his own take post year 1 or something :P

[royal arrow]

I...have definitely gotten stuck before and had to use CJB Cheats Menu to warp lol
but I'll see if I still get stuck as often using the Another Jump Mod

[outer turret]

Maybe we could arrange a way for farmer to bring festival to Krobus?

[restive zodiac]

"ah, this is your beach holiday, I have worn this cloth of weeds to share in your celebration" :P

[royal arrow]

Krobus could also just be out and about at night o: that might be cool~

[outer turret]

I head canon all sorts of weird stuff happens between 2 and 6 am

[stable anchor]

too bad farmer blacks out during that time period

[outer turret]

Ikr.

It's when Marlon || and Mr Ginger|| do night patrol.

That a why Marlon doesnt open shop until 2pm

He's gotta sleep 6-12. That's my take anyway.

Would be kinda neat of there were monsters everywhere after midnight. Probably a mod for it somewhere!

[restive zodiac]

(I cut that krobus event out of SVE a long long time ago)
@rare quest Yeah, someone mentioned here that Krobus could be upset about killing shadow people, so it reminded me of it! Then I was thinking brooding about how hard it is to do this kind of thing in general :P

("you could... but... be careful...")

[rare quest]

heh. Back during SVE 1.0.... good times.

[restive zodiac]

NOT good times

haha

[outer turret]

Yeh I've been cautioning ppl against it. Obv it was pulled for a reason!

[restive zodiac]

town xnb flashbacks

[rare quest]

Ugh. I remember that...

[outer turret]

I think the conclusion from that event was they were corrupted but it still was a painful scene.

And when I had to restart the day I decided not to rewatch it.

[restive zodiac]

I would never see it anyway, because I don't like fighting with krobus family... entirely because I am virtuous and nothing to do with that I never really get that far down the mines by myself anyway

[rare quest]

(game kinda does force you to fight shadow people though)

Then again, you could try avoiding them

But that's difficult especially with the revamped AI in 1.4

[restive zodiac]

You must go to buy a mask from rodent of unusual cuteness, and they will not damage you...

[royal arrow]

I know Pacifist Valley exists, but I wonder if there's another way modding could come into play to help with that

[rare quest]

(they are so fast now lol)

[outer turret]

Festival of the mundane has masks.

That make them not hurt you.

[restive zodiac]

(Masks from https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/4630 work like slime rings for shadow people)

[royal arrow]

also like. I've never spent enough time killing monsters in the mines but I think some of the rings you get from killing them helps with that sort of thing? which is counter intuitive

yea the slime ring, nvm lol

[restive zodiac]

(I had been nagging different modders about wanting a hat that would make monsters not attack you, haha.)

[stable anchor]

[outer turret]

U still get hit by the shamans though.

[stable anchor]

that would be cool

[royal arrow]

be like "I COME IN PEACE, PLEZ LOOKIE THE HAT"

[rare quest]

Kinda like that mask in Legend of Zelda

I think it was majoras mask

[stable anchor]

"pls let me mine, thank you"

[restive zodiac]

(Cat was working on being able to put hats on NPCs and I thought "what if I could THROW the hats and then they would be my friend..." but the festival having masks you can wear to blend in with shadow people makes a lot more sense in its way 😄 )

[outer turret]

Playing pacifist mode really presents a new dimension to the game.

[stable anchor]

^

[rare quest]

There's already a base to work off of too (slime enchanter ring)

[restive zodiac]

The masks from Festival of the Mundane already work like slime charmer ring

[royal arrow]

although you'd still need a way to get the "monster loot" drops for practical things like recipes and CC bundles, unless those were changed as well

[outer turret]

I view the crabs as an invasive and destructive species that needs to be kept under control.

[restive zodiac]

:P

[outer turret]

Like rats.

[royal arrow]

Demetrius would agree lol

[outer turret]

Theres a lot of connotations about their effect on the natural fauna in vanilla and my vets mod.

The bats are corrupted.

[royal arrow]

you know, Deluxe Hats exists, but idr all the hat effects o: (adds buffs to hats)

[outer turret]

But shadowfolk as sentient beings really makes you question the morality of killing then.

[restive zodiac]

Speaking of your npcs, do you think Eloise will be updated at some point? I desperately need to revamp the MP list and have been brooding about new mods and NPCs to add, even if I need to edit a bit.

[outer turret]

What so you need her to have?

[restive zodiac]

Although thinking about it makes me think of astronomy mod again frowns

[outer turret]

She doesnt have heart events yet

But she and Jacob have full dialogue and schedules. Maybe not updated though on Nexus.

[restive zodiac]

I just wasn't sure where she was in your plans or if you were satisfied with where she's at for now in the playable sense!

[outer turret]

Shes basically more fully developed than some released NPCs but less than I consider complete.

Butbifbyou rather wait until ove got heart events... I need to finish my two men first.

Tristan kinda got pushed forward.

Even though hes prob the most restrictive to play.

Juliet likewise is completely playable and has all her heart events (up to heart level 10)

[stable anchor]

i want to see juliet

[supple echo]

I have returned with pizza

So, Krobus getting upset that the player kills shadow people doesn't go down so well, huh?

[royal arrow]

yea I think to do it, we'd need a SMAPI mod that makes it possible to not have to kill the shadow people in the mines

and that's definitely out of my skills 😅

although I think like mouse said, if it was done with care, the event could be ok, nuanced. It wouldn't be easy to pull off

[supple echo]

I'll mull it over. 🙂

[fair vessel]

Pacifist Valley's code is open-source - could request iLoveLucy to add per-monster type config coptions, or someone could snatch the code and implement a shadow-person-only version of their own!

[royal arrow]

hehe 😆 I suppose we could have it as a companion mod to Pacifist Valley overall o:

[supple echo]

I don't mind killing some things, like giant mutant insects

[royal arrow]

ya the buggies are the worst >_>

[supple echo]

the buzzing flying ones that swarm you 😒

I died to those so many times in my first run

[stable anchor]

is pacifist valley in development?

when i first played the game, the flying bugs in floor 10+ scared me

[royal arrow]

it's on nexus, I think beta

[stable anchor]

ohhh

[supple echo]

early game flying bugs are no joke! especially if you get green fog and a swarm

[stable anchor]

interesting

[civic rampart]

Is there a mod that makes the scarecrow range a square instead of a circle?

because it's messing up my farm plans something fierce

[royal arrow]

that's a good question, I'm not sure someone's done that yet o:

[stable anchor]

circles are weird to program

imo

[outer turret]

I'd say the ones that are clearly corrupted animals probably okay to kill. The ones that are sentient beings, less so.

[stable anchor]

but would be nice to see

[royal arrow]

you can always drop it in the mod ideas list! https://github.com/StardewModders/mod-ideas

[outer turret]

@stable anchor Juliet is on my github but I can send you an ul to date version I'd you like.

Issue is her landlord has changed names.

[stable anchor]

oooooh

id love to see

ill try her out later once i can finally rest

so like hopefully a week from now?

i just want to make fe3h sprites

[sinful sigil]

So, I added Sales Tax, Hardew Valley, Better Balanced Crafting Recipes, Minerva's Harder CC bundles, Climates of Ferngill, Weather Illnesses, and Angry Grandpa; are there any other mods I can add to make the game harder / progression more meaningful? (Preferably no combat mods)

[royal arrow]

I think the vanilla game has an option for decreased profit margins o: ?

[daring wagon]

@civic rampart the mod I'm using for sprinklers allows me to make the sprinklers any shape I like, and I think you can substitute them for scarecrows flails around trying to make sure

[stable anchor]

hardew valley scares me

[civic rampart]

What's it called?

[royal arrow]

Better Sprinklers I think o:

[supple echo]

Item for befriending shadow people: Void Teddy Bear 😆

(kidding, probably)

[daring wagon]

Doesn't look like they work as scarecrows. I coulda sworn I saw that functionality on one of the sprinkler mods I looked at though heads for the compatibility list where she found it

[royal arrow]

hmm, I know Prismatic Sprinklers function as scarecrows, light source, and sprinklers, but I don't think that's what you were looking at 😄

[daring wagon]

https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/3633 might have been it 😛

I think it was prismatic sprinklers I was thinking of, kudos to Lenne again!

[royal arrow]

idk if it lets you configure the size of the sprinklers

mouse has been typing for a while, I am so curious 👀

[fair vessel]

@sinful sigil Better Balanced Crafting Recipes changes something that Hardew Valley also changes. They'll overwrite each other. So you'll want to choose which mod you want to go with for crafting receipe changes
(and then disable it in Hardew config or remove the Better Balanced mod)

[restive zodiac]

My message too long :P

[royal arrow]

aww, oh no! 😄

[fair vessel]

Also make sure you edit the config settings for Angry Grandpa - by default it does not increase difficulty nor enable the fun dialogue options lol

Climates of Ferngill and Weather Illnesses each also have extensive config options that you may want to edit to your preference - check their documentation for details.

[restive zodiac]

lurks waiting for lull @supple echo Some thoughts on it, please note these are all my personal feelings/musing on this type of interaction as it has some overlap with things I think about a lot for a different game I worked on and occasionally still plot out, and I get rambly when I can't see all my text on screen at once (okay that's just an excuse):

I think one important element to me would be that it's not a confrontation about something the player (not the character) has little choice or previous understanding about. The shadow people in the mines are just "monsters" trying to kill the player, often before you've even met Krobus. Meeting a sentient, peaceful representative is itself a small confrontation with a lot of players, realizing that their raid of the mines might have unfortunate implications. Pushing this too hard on the character (which is often a self insert) will usually feel bad for the player, and like a punishment for vanilla game mechanics.

I would also ask if there is something positive that can come out of it - is it just being scolded, making people feel bad, or is there a chance to act differently? Is there even a way to make peace? Most players like to feel like they can "do" something or have some effect on the world, so having something change because of something they did is usually a better feeling than being judged by itself. If you change as a result of Krobus's words, can that be reflected, will there be growth events after that?

Or you might make it less about the player altogether to sidestep the confrontation - maybe Krobus is worried about the people at the guild and the monster slaying attitude, and you can have an opportunity to talk to him about your own contributions to that (making it something the player chooses to say vs something that happens to them), and focus on you both trying to change things if appropriate for mod. (It would also be good to have a way to acknowledge having tried to be peaceful, but that's difficult without SMAPI unless you just go by mine level.)

I know this is really rambly but hopefully the general themes for my own preferences come across basically some nuance to response, a dialogue and not a confrontation, not being punished by game mechanics the player might not have thought about before, etc.

[sinful sigil]

@fair vessel
Thank you for the reminder! I’ll make sure to fiddle with their configs.

[civic rampart]

I've decided that I shouldn't be hyperfocusing on this, and need to drop the Scarecrow issue as soon as possible and just make the Haxorcrow from the Just One Scarecrow mod

[royal arrow]

thank you for sharing so many detailed thoughts, mouse! Idk if you'd seen this, but I had posted about it in the mod ideas and there was a brief discussion that happened there as well, I think it touches on some of the points you made. Would you be ok with me copying what you have here to the mod ideas, since it's part of the discussion? https://github.com/StardewModders/mod-ideas/issues/517

[restive zodiac]

Sure

[civic rampart]

I don't need to worry myself so much about optimizing junk 😓

[daring wagon]

Tell us how it goes! I am curious about this one scarecrow thing lol

[civic rampart]

From what it looks like, it's just a single scarecrow that covers the radius of the entire farm :P

I'm just gonna plop it on over next to my silo and hope for the best.

[supple echo]

@restive zodiac that's very helpful! I don't have it very developed in my head yet, but I was considering a scenario where Krobus asks the player if they've been fighting his friends/kinfolk in the mines, maybe there's an option to lie/tell the truth/be a jerk about it or not, and/or a conversation about something Krobus would like the player to do instead of killing the shadow people? He obviously knows that most shadow people a human is likely to have met are aggressive towards humans

Making it more about the guild (of which the player is a member) is also a good idea

[fair vessel]

I think the vanilla game has an option for decreased profit margins o: ?
@royal arrow yes, it does. You need to start a new savegame on multiplayer mode to select it. (No need to stay in multiplayer mode afterwards)
It's also possible to change the profit margins on any existing save, solo or multiplayer, just with a quick save file edit of <difficultyModifier>.

[stable anchor]

certain prices get higher in vanilla game beyond year 2+

[royal arrow]

Oh, it's not an option for single player games? That's weird. Good that there's a workaround with save editing o:

[supple echo]

perhaps Krobus or Marlon could ask the player's opinion on whether the guild should continue trying to wipe out shadow people (given that most are aggressive/corrupted by dark magic/whatever) vs doing something else

not quite in that wording, I think, but something like that

[fair vessel]

@supple echo how about Krobus asks instead if the player has been attacked by any shadow people down in the mines?
(Therefore acknowledging the vanilla hostile-monsters mechanic, and framing it as Krobus recognizing self-defense rather than something the player is fully responsible for)

[supple echo]

Ah, that makes sense! There's even a vanilla line about that I think

"...Have you encountered others like me, in the mines? I'm sorry if they were hostile towards you. You see, we've learned to fear humans... there have been too many... unpleasant encounters.#$e#You haven't... slain any of my friends, have you?"

[fair vessel]

And then in the event they can discuss sadly together about the resulting violence, and maybe brainstorm ideas or something

[supple echo]

I like that

[fair vessel]

oh yeah there is!

[supple echo]

Don't want to punish the player for killing monsters that attacked them, but encouraging them to consider if there's another way…

[fair vessel]

lol
Have krobus say something about his people don't like to run... "if you scoot past them quickly maybe they won't even notice you. It's worth a shot."

[royal arrow]

I try that when possible lol

[fair vessel]

OOOOH
Festival of the Mundane adds a mask that makes shadow brutes and shadow shamans not attack you!! You could put an optional dependency on that mod and incorporate it somehow!

(it works like the slime charmer ring, but for shadows)

[tired apex]

Aaaand [ctrl-v]

Can you upload your SMAPI log to https://smapi.io/log (see instructions on that page) and share the link here?

[royal arrow]

AlexisBloodwood ⬆️

[tired apex]

Thank!

This'll be fun... mainly because I dont have an options or enter location option and only a "🔎 find" options that takes hours

See you guys hopefully in the morning

Yaaaay Kubuntu

[shy orbit]

the site above has the location for the logs (it's ~/.config/StardewValley/ErrorLogs)

[tired apex]

Yea uh-

[shy orbit]

it might be searching for a file named like that, which it wouldn't find obviously

i'm not familiar with that file manager

[tired apex]

It sucks

It takes two minutes to move one file into the mod folder

[shy orbit]

you might have better luck navigating to the folder via your home folder (show hidden files so you can see the .config folder)

[tired apex]

Found it!

Aaaand ended up pasting it to my browser

https://smapi.io/log/ae6d506fa84844f2b38f19a4f4e81588

Okay so it managed to tell me it was applying the bytecode patches to wearmorerings and then a bunch of code flew past and then it shut down

I will be updating what I can

hi, i need some help with my game. i booted it up and my save was gone, so i tried a backup and now still doesn't work. heres the log: https://smapi.io/log/e9aba6106e31438485a523dbd913ebfd

[royal arrow]

what gets me is the actually helpful error messages meanwhile so much other paid software has GIBBERISH that you need a degree and a title to understand (although...that's probably on purpose 😅)

[tired apex]

Smapi is a good lil program,

[fair vessel]

Exception occured trying to access file 'C:\Users\ruunya\AppData\Roaming\StardewValley\Saves\Hibi_254307780\SaveGameInfo
Seems like it's having trouble accessing your SaveGameInfo file. When you switched to a backup, were you sure to include the whole save folder from the backup (e.g. PlayerName_634276437 folder containing at least 2 files, one called PlayerName_634276437 and one called SaveGameInfo)

[restive zodiac]

Brave and helpful pufferchick

[sinful sigil]

Can I get some help on this? I don't undrestand why it's telling me it couldn't load PPJA Forage Pack....I didn't INSTALL PPJA Forage Pack?

https://smapi.io/log/25f6f81dd21c4f22b5299f086df8a8a3

Pls ignore the duplicate / outdated warnings I'm already fixing those

[candid pawn]

i added the whole folder

[shy orbit]

@sinful sigil it comes with minerva's harder cc bundles

[sinful sigil]

@shy orbit Am I able to safely delete it or do I really have to go get it's dependency in order to play w/ that mod, Harder CC bundles.

[shy orbit]

you can delete it

[sinful sigil]

thank you :>

[shy orbit]

it's only meant to make the ppja option easier

np

[fair vessel]

I think it might depend on your config settings for Minerva's Harder CC Bundles, but yeah

[tired apex]

I'm still worried on why my smapi crashed instead of loading normally :<

[candid pawn]

i added my guy Hibi_254307780 with has 5 files and 2 folders

[tight tusk]

speaking of minerva's harder cc, anyone else here used the ppja mode? i'm at y4 of my save and done with almost every bundle except the quarry because it needs two very rare starfish items. i'm curious if anyone managed to complete it by y4 without having to cheat those two super rare starfish with cjb item spawner

[fair vessel]

There shouldn't be more than one folder per save game at a time. Are you using a folder from save-backups?

[shy orbit]

i never could get those items legitly. i think the problem might be related to the way that the ppja forage pack modifies beach forage

or maybe i remember wrong and i am confusing it with something else entirely

do you remember the items' exact names?

[tired apex]

I'm gonna try loading it again...

[candid pawn]

heres the save

[tight tusk]

@shy orbit oh that's reassuring lol i thought my current save file's rng was just really that crappy i could only get like 1 - 2 of those things per season. i only found 3 crown of thorns starfish in the 4 in-game years i've been playing so far and 2 holy grenade starfish.

[shy orbit]

ah okay. maybe try disabling the ppja forage pack and see if it improves? or just cheat of course

[tight tusk]

ok i'll try that first, if that doesn't work lmao i'll just cheat them in

[shy orbit]

could be of course that the bundle requirements are just too high

[tired apex]

hA! Nope! :')

[fair vessel]

Oh! @candid pawn I see. I forgot about the possibility of extra folders from mods like JA.

That should be fine then. It's still not loading, huh?

[tired apex]

Nope

[candid pawn]

nope, when i boot up, that person isn't on the list of saves and that was the log i got from it

[tight tusk]

@shy orbit i just checked more new fish's post, yeah those two starfishes have spawn rates at 10 - 20% only. the bundle requires 15 of them, which is pretty high imo for items with that kind of spawn percentage. i'll also try messing around their spawn rates before i resort to cjb

[shy orbit]

okay, so it's probably not related to the ppja forage pack then. do you still get forest forage on the beach with it btw?

[fair vessel]

@candid pawn can you try following the directions on the wiki to "undo the previous save"? https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Saves

[tired apex]

I'll restart my pc and try again in the morning :') night guys

And pray this dang mosquito doesnt bite me, dont get any ideas

[candid pawn]

i'll give it a try. sadly i got to go to work so i'll try it in the morning and post back if i had any luck. thanks for taking you time to help

[tight tusk]

@shy orbit yep i still get forest forage on the beach with the ppja ftm pack

[supple echo]

uh oh. One of my mods is making my dinosaur eggs infertile and I'm not sure which one

!log you know the drill 😉

[native dragon]

Can you upload your SMAPI log to https://smapi.io/log (see instructions on that page) and share the link here?

[supple echo]

working on it now 🙂

[royal arrow]

but also, do you use a BFAV Easter Bunnies mod by any chance? That shouldn't actually affect dino eggs, but it does copy what they do

[supple echo]

https://smapi.io/log/351f80d4875e4a729ee61225e2719a68

Nope. No BFAV. I know I've seen a mod on Nexus that says it does this to dinosaur eggs, but I'm positive I didn't purposely install something to have that effect

[royal arrow]

I haven't heard of something like that o.o' that's a specific mod lol

[dire fractal]

Mayonnaise++?

[supple echo]

hmm… lemme check it

[royal arrow]

oh mah word glowbug no

you got it

[supple echo]

aha!

I wanted to allow the player to have high quality mayo and for the quality of the egg to matter, but I also wanted to have a little bit of randomness, so it's not a given. In that same spirit, by default Dinosaurs will lay "Dino Eggs", which are infertile. You will only be able to get more Dinosaurs by finding Dinosaur Eggs the hard way. This can be turned off in the config.json, where you can also modify "QualityThreshold", which is the chance of creating a higher quality mayo from your eggs.

Okay I'll just go turn that off

I'd forgotten it was a mayo mod and not a dino mod that did that 😒

[dire fractal]

lol

I was actually more curious what it did

[royal arrow]

it's good it can be toggled off! lol

[supple echo]

welp, problem solved 😄

[royal arrow]

good guess, mana! lol

But that's a completely different thing!

[shell perch]

Has anyone used the PPJA Cannabis Kit mod? I can’t seem to get farther along in it other than the first few things you can get lol

[supple echo]

I'm not sure I actually need that one… I'm pretty sure I have a higher-quality artisan goods mod for my main save, if not for this one too…

[royal arrow]

have you checked the mouseypounds database, AquaPhoenix17? That may have info, let me get you the link

https://mouseypounds.github.io/ppja-ref/index.html

[shell perch]

I tried to but it didn’t get me anywhere, I might’ve just not looked in the right place. Thank you!

[royal arrow]

Glowbug, do you mean Quality Artisan Products o: ~ ? That mod is so the move

[supple echo]

yeah, I think that's it

[worn topaz]

I thought of a mod I would love to see in game but I don’t know if it’s possible, so I play the piano/accordion in real life and I thought it’d be neat if instead of me pulling out a tiny harp for Abigail’s rain event if instead I pulled out a tiny accordion. I found a lovely cover of the song on YouTube that uses a tiny accordion and guitar and I thought of putting that song to play and have me play the accordion.

[royal arrow]

if you want, you can leave it in the mod ideas list! https://github.com/StardewModders/mod-ideas
If you're looking to make it yourself, hop on over to #making-mods-general and we can try to help you get started

[fair vessel]

Hmm! That idea would need some sprite changes for the farmer, plus a CustomMusic edit probably for the new music. Definitely doable!

Wouldn't need C# either, so it would be a good first project for a new modder who was willing to do some minor sprite editing

@vital spade has done an edit before to change the farmer's harp to a guitar, I'm sure he could give pointers for the specifics of the spriting changes

[vital spade]

@worn topaz https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/5139

Hello everyone.

If I have a question about a mod, I suppose here is the best place, yeah?

[stable anchor]

yup

[remote cedar]

So, I'm making a small modlist for Stardew Valley, using SVE and a litany of other mods

In case anyone was curious

However, according to the creator of Eemie's Crops, SVE steals assets. Is there any truth to this?

[stable anchor]

[fair vessel]

I think most discussion of that conflict has been kept out of public channels for civility's sake. If you wanted more information about the disagreement, you would need to ask those involved.

[remote cedar]

I'd prefer to ask the mod makers directly

But uh

I dunno who they are. lol

[fair vessel]

You can find their profiles on the mods pages and message them

@remote cedar I haven’t stolen anything. 🙂

@vital spade can you add as much time as you like with that?

[vital spade]

it's been a while since I used it. But you can slow it down a lot 😛

you can freeze it too

[remote cedar]

So, the way that works, Chel

Is you can change the amount of time before the 10 minute ticks

For example, in my game, it's set to 14 seconds, instead of 7

And you can also freeze it.

[jaunty prawn]

sick

[junior osprey]

sorry if it's hard to understand my question

[remote cedar]

The times can be set in the mod's config.json file

i don't know if i like the idea of freezing i guess apart from when i'm reading lots of stuff or w.e but thank you! i just think the days go by so quickly

[remote cedar]

I agree.

can you set Discord to ping you when ppl type in things? Like enter S V E wihtout spaces seems to summon Flash (I don't want to alert him if there is some mechanism), and if you type animate Gervig mysteriously appears

or do these ppl just sit and watch the chat until someone mentions their field?

(cos i'd like to know when people mention my mods for example, esp when it comes to helping with bug fixes)

It's more likely that they either happen across it, or someone informs them

I don't know of any keyword pings

[vital spade]

Did someone call?

[outer turret]

see what I mean?

Gervig, do you have some sort of pyschic sixth sense to when we type "animate"

[remote cedar]

What mod did you make, Lemur

[vital spade]

I have like a spider sense

East Scarpe, NPC Jasper, Ranch Expansion and Mr Ginger.

(I can only list three on the wiki page... which three to choose!)

JAsper's currently huidden while I finish testing his 14 heart scene

Heck. I'd love to try them, but my modlist is built around SVE.

[outer turret]

most will more-or-less work with it. ES's a bit weird because it's east like Town east.

but if you ignore geography....

[remote cedar]

I can't. ;w;

[outer turret]

Mr G and Ranch expansion work with it

without suspension of disbelief

[remote cedar]

They work seamlessly? :o

[outer turret]

well they don't crash

[remote cedar]

lmfao

[outer turret]

or at least they didn't when I created them 6 months ago

[remote cedar]

My only real concern is character inconsistency.

[outer turret]

who knows what Flash has changed since then (not too much, as I think he's working out of town mostly now)

ah. Well I can't say for sure because I don't play SVE but I don't think he changes Marnie or Jas in his dialogue

but you know, if you'd rather limit yourself to SVE, that's your decision! I'm not saying you need to play mine.

[remote cedar]

lol, I want to

I've been looking at Ranch
