of your mods, the one that I would blame first is AlwaysOnServer

I'm trying out Fishing Trawler and I'm terrible at it lol
I understand the net fixing and the engine fixing. The water bucket thing also. But how do you patch the holes where the water is coming from? I thought the guy said you could patch those, but right clicking didn't seem to help

gaunt gust
#

Should be able to right click on the holes

royal arrow
#

Maybe I was missing the hitboxes then

#

I was panicking a little >~>

gaunt gust

yeah, they're of different heights too

does anyone know any like aesthetic type mods?

late nebula
#

What kind of aesthetic?

quiet osprey
#

Hey! I’m wondering if anyone has experience recently with stardew valley expanded and multiplayer. I see things from like a yearish ago saying if a farmhand tried to marry a npc from sdve it wrecks the game. Does anyone here know if that has been fixed?

umbral mica
#

doesnt really matter, just anything that goes along with an aesthetic i guess.

late nebula
#

Aesthetic is a broad word.

umbral mica
#

it is isnt it.

#

i guess like a soft type, something to just make the game a little more clam.

late nebula
#

If you want something kinda cottagecore-esque though... Look up Medieval Buildings, Way Back Pelican Town, and all the mods made by cometkins, Dust Beauty, and DaisyNiko.

umbral mica
#

CALM LOL

late nebula
#

Clam game.

flower grass

umbral mica
#

oh yeah! i should get flower grass, thats a nice mod.

#

i might get flower valley as well.

late nebula
#

There are also naver mods. A lot of those are soft, but it can be hard to get into if you can't speak Korean, can't make a Naver account, and/or don't know how to convert xnb mods into Content Patcher mods.

#

Not impossible though.

umbral mica
#

yeah, naver mods are what make me confused. same goes for SDVE.

late nebula
#

Nearly every Naver mod I've been interested in has turned out to be either locked behind the site or an xnb mod and I just can't be bothered to convert them.

umbral mica
#

I hardly even know how to convert them.

The Producer Framework Mod (PFM) warnings, not errors, are because there are optional mods that you don't have installed, so it's not using those rules. Again these are optional mods, so you can safely ignore these warnings. Same with the Json Assets (JA) warning about lavender. You don't have an optional pack that adds lavender.
I don't know about the Content Patcher (CP) warnings about Stardew Valley Expanded (SVE) though, but you could try reinstalling SVE and see if that helps.

dire fractal
#

What is the red error in the log?\

#

it is from base game?

gaunt gust
#

Hard to tell, really.

#

Best way to find it is to remove mods and slowly add them back

#

Focusing mostly on mods that patch game code

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

Do I just send it?

robust bison
#

well it says that IF2M is trying to load a farm cave map

frozen pilot
#

So what do I do?

robust bison
#

the IF2M cave has custom mincrarts right

frozen pilot
#

minecarts?

#

Then yes

then you can't use hot springs cave

Jeez, that's insane

how many do you have

~200, many are quite small though

robust bison

yeah that's probably why

timber plinth

I'm used to somewhere around two minutes or so, but glad to know that it isn't super abnormal for longer times

at this moment i'm running 124 and had 4-5 minute load time

robust bison
#

yeah shame SDV is single cored

timber plinth
#

so understandable

gaunt gust
#

JA and CM are probably the most likely to cause long load times

#

Also PyTK on the beta

do you guys use a mod loader or do it all manual?

Once I've loaded a world can I add mods to it or do I need to make a new one?

You can add mods to an existing save! Some may have special instructions to make sure you don't have visual glitches, like custom farm maps, but even those can be installed on an existing save

Jesus do all of the characters on ridgeside have events? There’s sooo many

royal arrow

I think that's a good thing, since events are an interesting way to get to know characters and stories!
I can see that it would be overwhelming if a bunch are happening one right after the other lol

Yeah, of course! I love events, but I was just wondering because there’s so many characters that it blows my mind if all of them have events lol

they do yes! not sure about the new ones though, since they havent been fully developed i believe

Just a quick update from how everything went yesterday; all seems to have been working fine, there was a brief moment of panic when it couldn't find the game again after I got up today, but it seems to work fine so long as I launch it directly from SMAPI in my stardew folder rather than my desktop shortcut (no idea why that would be, not knowledgeable enough to figure it out, if it works it works)

coarse heath
#

really stupid but someone got like a folder for all the mods needed + ridgeside mods for it to work? tried twice and i think i keep missing shit it needs

have you got all the dependencies?

in any case, here’s the page from the github on how to install it

do you have any specific areas that are especially prone to lag?

ember birch

5-10 sec gaps for lag spikes in normal areas but it got to the point of freezing by water

gaunt gust
#

Can you grab a log that has lag in it?

#

(a log of when you've encountered lag)

#

but honestly a lot of it is just that you have a bunch of big expansion mods and they can be taxing

ember birch
#

yeah i figured 😦

gaunt gust
#

I find that custom companions can cause a bit of lag if there's a number of them,

#

but, otherwise, there's just a lot of NPCs for the game to keep track of

#

a lot of areas for the game to deal with

#

etc.

hm i might take out the extra npcs then but is it better to play expansions individually?

There might also be settings in your computer you can adjust

robust bison

Ridgeside Village (https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/7286) is a mod which adds a lot of new content to the game (NPCs, a new location, shops, and more). Make sure to read and follow the installation instructions listed on the mod page.

or rather, why there are watnings using the beta

fathom trench

yea it's a little annoying that people never read the mod pages. Even when i was making mods for Risk of Rain 2, I had someone ping me in that modding server to tell me my mod didn't work and needed to be fixed, but they never set it up like the mod page says to for it to work

vocal sequoia

So to run riverside I need to install all of these?

IMG_3772.png

#

Yes

robust bison
#

yes

vocal sequoia

Ok thanks

gaunt gust
#

Any time a dependency is labeled "required", you do need it to run the mod

fathom trench
#

to make it easy, download anything in the Requirements tab

don't actually do this

gaunt gust
#

I wonder if there's something SMAPI for "which version of game?"

#

so you can, say, put in the entry a BIG WARNING about 1.5.5

fathom trench

probably

i imagine there's something stored for the game version somewhere. If not in SMAPI then in Stardew itself

almost certainly

thanks for the tip. It's the first time I use the beta and then this problem came up.

My next guess is that your internet might be terrible

but if the problem persists, any solution besides reinstalling or restarting the pc?

well, this problem only occurred in beta.

'll try these 2 tips, if it doesn't work I'll come back here

try not running it through steam tempoarily

so go to Program Files (x86)/Steam/steamapps/common/Stardew Valley and click directly on the StardewModdingAPI.exe

while STEAM is not running

#

okay

#

without the steam it really worked normal.

gaunt gust

Yeah, I googled around for the error message and really can't find anything other than a few FPS complaining about single-digit ms delays.

I guess you can just play without STEAM for like the next day and see if the networking resolves itself

is there a way to get deleted .xnb files back without reinstalling? i can't do steam repair because i'm using gog, and the body retexture mod i got does not look good

are you launching from SMAPI

vocal sequoia
#

I'm just trying to move them into the mod folder

#

you're putting them in Stardew Valley/Mods right?

vocal sequoia
#

How do I know if SMAPI installed or not

vocal sequoia
naive drum
#

!gettingstarted

native dragonBOT
naive drum
#

run the SMAPI installer again

#

(it should have made the Mods folder, and put 3 smapi component mods in there)

vocal sequoia
naive drum
#

yep that's correct!

#

you'll want to launch with SMAPI

#

which will cause a console window to pop up alongside the game

fathom trench
#

iirc, SMAPI will search through any directory there, so as long as your extracted mod folder goes into the Mods folder somehow, it should work

naive drum
#

(launch stardewmoddingapi.exe directly, or set your launch options in Steam; the smapi installer gives you launch options at the end of the process and can safely be run with SMAPI already installed)

#

also, TMXLoader is a framework mod.

vocal sequoia
#

is it only one mod?

naive drum
#

it doesnt do anything player-facing on its own, it just adds some code that other mods can use.

vocal sequoia
#

because I think there was supposed to be 9 or something in there

clear eagle
#

tmxl is a mod but it's mostly a framework

fathom trench
#

while it's not recommended, I haven't had issue with using Vortex for my modding, so that's a way you can go

naive drum
#

yeah you've only got TMXL + the smapi components in there

clear eagle
#

You need main mod that require them

naive drum
#

once you have the mods placed into that Mods folder, just launch through SMAPI and watch the console (if possible, its easy for me since I have two monitors)

oh. hmm. no idea

if your game isn't modded, try in game-support?

smapi doesnt need to be extracted i believe. but like i said, i use vortex, so i don't really know

from the sounds of it you're not actually running smapi

#

are you launching via Steam?

vocal sequoia

....

#

nope

naive drum
#

OK how are you launching the game?

vocal sequoia
#

I tried lunching from .exe

naive drum

the StardewModdingAPI exe?

the one with the pufferchicken icon?

vocal sequoia

I can double check

robust bison

are you running the exe from SDVchickenb or SDVpufferchick

No i play on android
" in the logs it can show you what device you play" just making sure you know
No offense okay

SDVchickenb is the vanilla game, SDVpufferchick is modded, nameless we're talking to gamer

run the installer again

manual is recommended

vocal sequoia
#

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Stardew Valley\StardewModdingAPI.exe

#

that part?

naive drum
#

the whole thing

#

but also you need to go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Stardew Valley\ and look for the StardewModdingAPI exe in there

vocal sequoia
#

with the %command% ?

naive drum
#

yes

vocal sequoia
#

alright one sec

naive drum
#

that's your steam launch option string, so if you want to launch modded stardew via steam in the future you'll need to put it in your steam launch options

vocal sequoia

this usually is caused by vortex

anyone know where the pinky lemon box that is usually in the stardrop saloon is in stardew valley expanded?

fathom trench
#

im about to have my first greenhouse full of ancient fruit. two more days. really wish i had a mod that had casks that worked like the other things from the Industrialization mod

unborn verge
#

oh nvm haha

fathom trench
#

i found a mod that would work for what i want for the caks

muted pagoda
#

there is advanced casks

#

not sure how much better they are than normal

fathom trench
#

it isn't amazingly broken, but it adds 2 new types of casks that take half and a quarter the vanilla time respectively, but are quite expensive to get to that point

#

that's the one i was looking at aha

muted pagoda
#

heh

#

I got my first industrialization machine last night, finally made it past spring

#

always end up restarting or getting bogged on in issues with memory/etc

#

actually was able to do 10 days in a sitting before being concerned with memory, was rather refreshing.

fathom trench
#

damn i usually play for like a season at a time, but i also only have around 110 mods

#

and no big expansion mods

#

my only "expansion" would be my farm map, EverFarm

#

i just finished upgrading my wine production shed into the industrial version. 203 Industrial Distillers in there.

#

the industrial kegs are about 10x as fast as the vanilla ones, since they take half the time but do 5 products at once, and they retain quality so you can skip a lot of processing for wine

muted pagoda
#

I have just about all of the big expansions, and raffadax.. and I also 10% profit margin..so, yeah, Summer 16 and I just got the 5000 coins to update my first tool from copper->steel, just broke 15k gross earnings. Its always..weird seeing videos of people play with regular settings.

fathom trench
#

im also working on trying to improve friendship with everyone to get all the recipes for true perfection

#

i should do a challenge at some point of a low profit margin... is there a mod that lets you make your profit margin anything? It would be harsh doing one at like 1% margin

muted pagoda
#

not sure if it likes less than whole percentages, but that's a vanilla setting you can change in your save file, also a mod that basically does/forces that

queen nimbus
#

you can put a custom profit margin by editing your save file

#

could be like .10 or 1.10

fathom trench
#

well ive never tried editing a save file, didn't know how hard it would be

muted pagoda
#

doing that does make you care a whole lot more about your energy economy than anything else.

#

its like the 10th <> in the save file, you could also just add profitmargins the mod, which basically just sets it at runtime for you via a config setting

queen nimbus
#

you can still just use the find command so you wont get confused

fathom trench
#

i figured from what Kyrinia was saying

muted pagoda
#

it does create some akwardness here and there where custom shop prices arent effected so buying some things is absurdly expensive

fathom trench
#

oh that would be fun

muted pagoda
#

savefile is a giant text file that looks similar to html, <blah> 3</blah>

fathom trench
#

i would like to play like with all my current mods at that low of profits

queen nimbus
#

you could also install hardewvalley

#

it changes the crafting recipes and more too

fathom trench
#

see ive never done a hard mode game, and i think it would be a lot of fun

muted pagoda
#

its definately different

queen nimbus
#

yeahh

muted pagoda
#

starting out you can buy literally all the parsnip seeds you could ever want, at 2c each

#

but like, have fun finding the energy

queen nimbus
#

you could also install the no seeds from shop so you have to rely on wild seeds

fathom trench
#

if i have the time next semester i want to get back into streaming, and i feel like something like that could be a fun thing to do

#

maybe do some more programming stuff at some point

muted pagoda
#

seedshortage is..interesting, I ended up stopping doing that because dealing with seedmaker got to be too annoying.

#

my mistake was I was also running way too many crop adding mods so it just became a giant jumbled mess.

fathom trench
#

i finally got my first magic chest from expanded storage...

#

thank the gods

muted pagoda
#

..heh

fathom trench
#

it's a chest that i believe has "inifnite" capacity

muted pagoda
#

nod, there's also a bag among other things

fathom trench
#

yea, i had been using a few iron chests from that mod for awhile

#

it was nice to move everything into one chest

muted pagoda
#

yeah, my chests keep growing children as I continue to find more crap I want to store until I figure out what to do with it

fathom trench
#

yea, i kept filling up on stone and wood

#

mostly stone, since i was doing a few deep runs for iridium in skull cavern

#

and was doing a ton of runs through the volcano trying to get the dragon teeth needed for the obelisk

muted pagoda
#

still havent figured out how you're intended to do skull cavern without dying in 3 hits.

fathom trench
#

the shoes from the volcano help

#

and bringing a ton of cooked dishes

#

the mermaid boots are the shoes i was referring to

fair frigate
fathom trench
#

i havent seen those yet, what are those?

lament prairie
#

Tbh I basically don’t bother before getting the galaxy sword

fathom trench
#

same

lament prairie
#

If you time it right you can deflect single serpents no problem, but multiple is an issue

fathom trench
#

dinosaur mayonnaise is the most valuable right?

#

the galaxy hammer is also good for the quick slam thing

lament prairie
#

Pepper rex can be combatted with sufficient good food

#

But early on it’s a waste of resources to do that

#

The bats are annoying, and slimes also a struggle until slime ring

#

But between galaxy sword, slime ring, nice boots, and practice with timing skull cavern isn’t as bad

fathom trench
#

how does one stop an egg from incubating

lament prairie
#

Still not my fave

#

I’m not sure you can

muted pagoda
#

all things I've never seen in my play, yay.

fathom trench
#

i wanted to set up automation to hatch dino eggs using automate, set a chest down and the incubator linked with the auto grabber (it hadn't previously), and started incubating a duck

lament prairie
#

You can practice with the normal mines

#

In order to build up to the slime ring and have a decent chance of getting a shard

fathom trench
#

the burglar ring is also useful

lament prairie
#

Also, the quarry has a solid chance at having a mystic stone when unlocked, in my experience

#

Which itself has a decent chance of yielding a shard

fathom trench
#

is it worth it to have a coop full of only dinosaurs? Or should i have a couple rabbits for the wool and rabbit feet

bright sun
#

I have made a horrible mistake of not keeping my mods up to date

lament prairie
#

Technically speaking iirc most profitable is normal chickens

#

Dinos are slightly less profitable but a lot less work

fathom trench
#

im guessing the normal chickens just from the sheer volume of eggs you get?

lament prairie
#

Since you only process once a week and don’t need to keep them happy

#

Yup, basically

#

Normal chickens are less profitable until they have higher hearts though

#

Since small eggs give normal quality Mayo

fathom trench
#

all my current animals are at max hearts

lament prairie
#

I personally enjoy a variety

#

Coops don’t have a high ceiling in profitability

#

And it’s nice to have access to all items

fathom trench
#

right now i have each a brown and white chicken, a void chicken, a rabbit, a duck, and a dino

#

soon to be 2 ducks

lament prairie
#

I like pairs for symmetry

#

And so they have a friend

fathom trench
#

i wish my pig would duplicate itself

#

my cow did twice

lament prairie
#

It’s random and depends on number of barns iirc

fathom trench
#

had two kids within a week

lament prairie
#

Of course this means it happens only when you’re not wishing for it 😛

fathom trench
#

ah i only have one barn and one coop. didn't want to have only animals to take care of, but now it may be good to do

#

my first batch of melon wine is almost done to iridium quality

#

nearly 2000 more of that to process

muted pagoda
#

I have.. a keg.

#

:p

fathom trench
#

i had a shed full of them

#

had 195 of them, and decided to fill the other available spaces (and replace all the normal ones) with the industrial ones

muted pagoda
#

also testing that autogc mod now that it has a version for net5, see if it curbs atleast a little bit the rather large leak per day

#

not sure if it's actually collectable garbage or not

#

at the end of that 10 day session sdv was using 9.4gb :p

fathom trench
#

damn... mine currently is using about 1.2GB

bright sun
#

I'm so out of date SMAPI doesn't even register

#

I have a long day ahead of me tomorrow

plush oriole
#

hey @tired brook would just like to point out that the beta version of SMAPI (for SDV 1.5.5) doesn't install correctly with Vortex. c:

#

i do have the 64-bit support extension for vortex

fathom trench
muted pagoda
#

you dont need any user extension for 1.5.5, though installing smapi itself with vortex is generally a bad plan

fathom trench
#

people keep saying this, i must be a very rare case. I have never had an issue using vortex with stardew.

muted pagoda
#

heh, save finished loading, sdv is at 3.5gb

#

it works just fine for mods, most of the issues people have with it are user created ones.

plush oriole
lament prairie
#

The biggest problem is that it’s very difficult to debug if anything does go wrong

plush oriole
lament prairie
#

So when users who prefer not to dig into the details use it avoid dealing with them, they’re in for a really bad time when it fails

muted pagoda
#

funny, its working just fine for me :p

plush oriole
lament prairie
#

And we can’t really figure how to debug vortex BC it doesn’t exactly give us clues to go iff

#

It’s like “my mods don’t work, I don’t know why, and I can’t force it to tell me why it’s just randomly deleted some stuff”

plush oriole
#

i mean, this is all i have in my vortex right now. 3.12.8 installed just fine but 3.13.0 just put the installer into my mods folder. 😂

unknown.png
#

also just realized the 64-bit support extension isn't even made by pathoschild

#

it just says it was made by pathoschild 😂

muted pagoda
#

yes, and like I said, you dont need that anymore.

#

there was a user extension for the unofficial 64 bit client because it used a different exe name

#

without it, it would not detect it as a game folder

plush oriole
#

nope. still just extracting the installer. :/

tired brook
plush oriole
#

damn and kyrinia tried to convince me that i was crazy and i was the only one having this issue 😂

muted pagoda
#

I did? I said rather pointedly that installing smapi itself thru vortex was a bad idea. Which, because it's not a mod requires special handling and can break in unexpected ways.

plush oriole

Vortex in general is just a bad idea. People come here having issues with it messing up their mods every single day.

late nebula
#

Sounds spoilery.

fathom trench

it's my first time in a save that has access

#

oop

#

i hid it in spoilers. to be fair, 1.5 has been out for awhile now

late nebula
#

Yeah, I still haven't played through the new stuff though. Been too busy agonizing over which mods I want.

fathom trench
#

well, i won't tell you how to get the thing, but its a thing.

late nebula
#

More things!

#

(I generally know what all was added, just trying to avoid knowing what little I can.)

plush oriole
#

Just making the assumption based on my knowledge of Vortex.

late nebula
#

Actually missing manifests

#

Vortex likes to snack on them.

plush oriole
#

🤔

late nebula
#

Then it will sometimes update mods to the beta versions when a person isn't using the beta.

fathom trench
#

in my experience, if you know how to use vortex you shouldn't have many issues. By "use" i mean understand how to fix simple issues or at the very least understand how to google an issue.

the only issue i have ever had is mods not deleting fully, but i figured out how to do that reliably so it isn't an issue

plush oriole
fathom trench
plush oriole
late nebula
#

Well, no one reads mod descriptions so... nyaSleepstudying

fathom trench
#

that isn't Vortex's fault

late nebula
#

Nope

fathom trench
#

people are just idiots

late nebula
#

Kinda a separate issue just compounded when people blindly install with mod managers.

#

Then there are the upcoming Collections, which I am not excited about.

fathom trench
#

im a firm believer that if you can't take the 5 seconds it takes to look over a mod page when you have to go to the mod page to initiate the download, you probably don't need to download it

#

are collections basically modpacks?

plush oriole
#

also whenever it can vortex should have a button to view changelogs in the app.

fathom trench
#

or are they like a modified "Content Pack" type thing

late nebula
#

Yeah modpacks

#

Collections are what initiated the limitation on mod deletion for creators and made a bunch of people upset.

plush oriole
#

i mean, i'm fine with the idea of collections since mod packs are pretty big (especially in Skyrim); just not with being unable to delete mod files.

fathom trench
#

so because people want to be able to make modpacks, nexus said "you can't delete your mod"?

late nebula
#

Yep

plush oriole
#

but also old versions of mods can't be deleted.

late nebula
#

I don't know if Nexus has an opt-out like mod drop does though.

muted pagoda
#

'but if a mod author deletes mod 1 version 22 of 7342587345 in modpack b, modpack b won't work anymore, oh noes'

#

is what spured that, stupid as it is and sounds

plush oriole
fathom trench
#

i have found an odd combination that will basically farm friendship points with anyone in your house

plush oriole
#

from my understanding, you can still delete mods and mod versions from the website, but they'll still be downloadable for collections.

#

they won't be removed from the server

fathom trench
#

the Part of the Community mod and some mod that basically sets everyone as talked to to not lose friendship makes it so when you go to sleep, your family all see you talking to people, raising friendship with them a slight bit

muted pagoda
#

which is the problem, mod author deletes x version because its broken, but 'creator Y makes mod pack with broken version modpack' mod author gets 8743587 bug posts forever

plush oriole
#

I feel like it should just warn the user and prompt them if they'd like to install the next more recent available version.

fathom trench
#

that can cause issues in itself

plush oriole
#

yeah, but it's better than removing the mod completely.

fathom trench
#

because if a mod in the pack depends on a specific version of another, updating that one it depends on makes the dependent no longer work

plush oriole
#

yeah, but would you rather it just not install Essential Library That Everyone Uses, use a newer version, or use an older version?

fathom trench
#

i'd rather it require Collection "authors" to create a manifest that requires version listings.

#

that;s how we handled it for Risk of Rain 2 on Thunderstore

plush oriole
#

like, a list of versions it supports?

fathom trench
#

the way we handled it with Thunderstore was file uploads required a manifest that listed all dependencies and the version of that dependency used. So if you made the collection with mods A,B,C with versions 1,1,2 then that was the versions that would be downloaded for the collection, no matter what the latest or default version of A,B,C are

#

makes it more annoying to upload collections and all, but makes it less of a nuisance on users

plush oriole
#

I'm pretty sure that's the whole point of collections?

fathom trench
#

then that would make this entire conversation moot

plush oriole
#

collections keep track of the versions of each mod. the problem is that nexus now keeps deleted versions of mods on the server in case the version needed is in a collection.

fathom trench
#

well that i don't necessarily see the issue in?

plush oriole
#

It removes the option for mod developers to completely remove their mod (or just versions of their mod) from Nexus.

fathom trench
#

ah yea fair

#

gods its 2 am...

plush oriole
#

yes.

#

not trying to delete anything important

fathom trench

it usually has some things SMAPI gives it

#

i think those can be generated by launching SMAPI if they get deleted

#

do tree seeds count as debris? like acorns, etc

muted pagoda
#

I wouldn't think so

fathom trench
#

im just asking for the purposes of the gold clock

#

acorns keep sprouting around my oak resin farm, and i don't want to just spam around path

ember birch

#

thinking of just moving my tree tappers to the desert

muted pagoda

and I'm still annoyed there's apparently no mod that gives harvest indicators, hehe

fathom trench
#

harvest indicators?

muted pagoda
#

ie crop with a marker/balloon that it can be harvested

fathom trench
#

oh, i have a mod that makes it show a green plus on the cursor when a plant is grown, but i couldn't tell you whicj

muted pagoda
#

I think that's vanilla, but like, that means mousing over 50+ crops to find waldo

#

some crops are.. not very obvious they're harvestable

fathom trench
#

most are not

#

uhm question

keen crow
#

Yes, if the farm mod has a cave remake, you'll have to do some editing

obtuse meteor
keen crow
#

Check if you need to do the editing beforehand. Doesn't look like you do. Otherwise renamed the Cave mod's folder to have a z at the beginning of the name

#

Should be enough

#

Doesn't look it would require a false dependency

obtuse meteor
#

[CP] Hot Spring Farmcave to zHot Spring Farmcave?

keen crow
#

Can do either z [CP] Hot Spring Farmcave or zHot Spring Farmcave its up to you how you prefer it SDVpuffersquee

obtuse meteor
#

according to


1. Download the respective custom farm's compatible file instead of the main file.
2. Extract the zip.
3. Drop everything including two image files into the /asset folder of the farm map that contains its "FarmCave.tbin" file,
    and replace it with my "FarmCave.tbin" file.
    (For example IFR2's cave file is located inside ".../Stardew Valley/Mods/.../[CP] Immersive Farm 2 Remastered/assets" folder.)```
keen crow
#

That's outdated

obtuse meteor
#

I will try it

obtuse meteor
keen crow
#

Doesn't matter. Just needs a z at the beginning to send it to the end of the mod list, thus meaning it'll overwrite the farm if it has a Cave remake in it

Hi. I'm interested in playing with East Scarp mod. I need someone to criticise it so that I know shortcoming it has, if there's any. I don't want to go far in play-through before finding out it's unpolished (if it's unpolished). Unfair criticism is fine, but not too much.

#

It's a great mod tho, there are additional NPC mods for it (Like Always Raining in the Valley, etc). It's not as heavy as RSV or SVE so you shouldn't expect a lot of features yet.

Does skill perstige work with magic mod?

#

Which prestige? Walk of Life or unofficial skill prestige?

Oh there's a different one than the unofficial?

How does walk of life compare to skill prestige?

clear eagle
#

Walk of Life is a skill overhaul mod.

#

Ah gotcha. I might check that out at some point

if you think RSV is still new then you definitely havent delved into it properly 😄

Where are most mods?

#

Are most on nexus?

#

Or are they on forge or something

chrome cosmos
#

mostly nexus and some are on Moddrop

Doesn't SVE also add items that contribute to perfection?

#

I'm thinking to suspend my current play-through and start something fresh without it.

chrome cosmos

and RSV is also perfection compatible now

Hey can someone please help me? I'm having a problem installing SMAPI in the new beta (64x).
I have a 64 bits computer , but SMAPI says my desktop is not 64 and just closes once i try to install... I'm sure it's 64 and double checked.

dull valve
#

64bit SV only available in steam beta, as far as I know.

astral jewel
#

yep , i instaled

#

but i don't think that is the problem

#

cause it updated ( so the beta is working)

silent ridge

vocal sequoia

OHHH

vocal sequoia

Okay, SO: i finally upgraded from android to pc for SDV. I want to add as many expanded world mods as possible. I have SVE and will add ridgeside today. What else is worthwhile and compatible? not aesthetic mods (i'll look into those some other time), but more storyline/areas/npcs/quests/etc

silent ridge
#

i recommend checking out ES (East scarpe), Downtown ZuZu and Garden Village up to you if u wish to explore them

dire fractal
#

If you enjoy Ridgeside you could also think about getting Lunna Astray. As for ES I'd recommend getting Always Raining in the Valley with it. Just makes the town a bit more lively with 3 additional NPCs (though 2 are antisocial right now).

vocal sequoia
#

What's SVE?

dire fractal
#

If you're more into fantasy like characters and settings I'd also recommend getting Lucikiel and Lavril and if you enjoy how the characters of East Scarp are written, you could check out Lemurkats other NPCs (who have immersive dialogue regarding the other ES NPCs)

ok ty 🙂

astral jewel
# vocal sequoia this is what it looks like

the first one is the expantion , the second and third are farm layouts. If you want to play by yourself and get some small cute farm, grandpa's farm is for u, the immersive is my favourite, but is pretty huge

#

you can also ignore and play the normal farm layout if you wish

fathom plinth
#

there is a mod that replace radioactive ore with something more magical?

lunar cipher
# night ledge Oh? what's your favorite and/or what do you dislike about sve?

I admittedly haven't played any expansions in a while because of the modder's curse (being too busy creating mods to actually play) 😅 But I'd probably say Ridgeside for the quality and quantity of its content, especially now that it's got its 2.0 update. East Scarp along with all its character add-ons is a very strong second though!

I dislike SVE for a number of reasons:

  1. From an artistic perspective, I think the writing is average at best, unsubtle and cringeworthy at worst. Many of the characters I find to be very bland.
  2. It edits a lot of things (many of which it doesn't really need to) in order to be an "all-in-one" mod, which makes it a pain in the ass for other modders to maintain compatibility. A lot of SVE fans also end up harassing other mod authors to make sure their work is compatible with SVE or tell them that their work isn't worth using if it's not compatible, which is not on SVE's author but it's very frustrating
  3. The mod's author has done a lot of very dubious and distasteful things over the years, including taking assets and ideas from other mods. He made a not-quite apology for some of it the first time it happened, but not for others that happened later, and he likes to rules-lawyer when called out for this rather than admit wrongdoings. He also doesn't try to reach out to other mod authors about making SVE compatible with their mods and puts the burden of compatibility on others

I can see the appeal of an all-in-one mod, but I personally prefer being able to mix and match how I want my game to be modded 😄 There's actually a list of mod recommendations for people that want an SVE-like experience but with the flexibility and better compatibility of it not being an all-in-one: https://stardewmodding.wiki/wiki/Recommendations:_Modular_SVE

The Stardew Modding Wiki
Recommendations: Modular SVE

This is a list of mods that seeks to create an Stardew Valley Expanded-like experience without using SVE, for people that can't or don't want to use that mod or who want some parts without using others.
This list isn't intended to be an "install all of these" list! It's a collection of mods that have similar effects to some of SVE's features so...

dire fractal
#

I think everyone should at least try SVE out for a couple months and decide based on that if they want to continue using it (and accept that not every mod should and will work with it) or to abandon it and try to create their own modded experience.
Just don't use SVE if it's your first time using mods. SDVpufferyoba

hey is lunna a good mod?

#

anyone has tried?

dire fractal
#

Yeah. But it takes a while to unlock the other town - so it's not as overwhelming if you wanna take your time.

keen crow
#

Lunna? It's by the same creator as Ridgeside, so if you like one you might like the other. I've got it installed but attemptedly haven't done much with it

fair frigate
astral jewel
#

i'm curious aboult this one and Lavril

fair frigate
#

But I got mine in a barrel

keen crow
#

Lavril is great UNASmushCheeks

astral jewel
#

i just dunno if i'm going to install Lavril cause it changes the storyline, it gets better? also should i download Juliet to implement Lavril?

keen crow
#

You don't have to, but their stories add to each other squeee

chrome cosmos
#

i would highly recommend both lavril and juliet!

astral jewel
#

i should start getting worried by now

unknown.png
#

but i think aboult 30 of those are the same mod

chrome cosmos
#

Jay here has 1000+ SDVpuffersquee

astral jewel
#

HOW

#

god

#

you got a Nasa computer , mine is going to burn if i pass 200 mods

lunar cipher
#

Keep in mind too that SMAPI artificially increases the mod count because bigger mods with multiple parts (for example, a crop mod that also has new machines) will count as multiple mods. Ridgeside counts as about ten mods by itself or something

astral jewel
#

ah also , do you know any mod that improves wine farms?

lunar cipher
#

So in reality, the number of mods in your Mods folder will be much smaller than the number SMAPI reports

astral jewel
#

like new types of wine etc

#

i got a thing for wine making

late nebula
#

Does East Scarp have any issues if you add it to an existing game like RSV does?

lunar cipher
# astral jewel i got a thing for wine making

Grapes of Ferngill adds new grape varieties and I believe new wines as well, Fallen London Mushroom Wines adds new mushroom-based wines from the Fallen London/Sunless Seas games, Raffadax Teas & Trees adds divine wines along with many different types of port, sherry, brandy, etc, and Champagne Wishes adds new varieties of champagne grapes

late nebula
#

(I mostly want to avoid having 500 people to visit for that first quest... RSV lets you turn it off.. I suppose I could bypass it with CJB Cheats.)

@late nebula You leveled up to Shepherd. Wow, you've been talking a lot! Have a prettier, slightly more brag worthy, shade of blue.

Hmmm.

chrome cosmos
#

i installed ES midsave the first time i got it, no issues besides a JA shuffle if im not wrong

late nebula
#

That wouldn't be horrible for me since I don't use any JA except what's in RSV for now.

#

I think I may go ahead and add it though.

#

Then I will be ready to play.

(After I finish making a UI mod.)

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

vocal sequoia
#

Everytime I try copying the text into the copy part the website crashes

late nebula
#

Just drag the file over?

vocal sequoia
#

that's what I tried to do

#

and it just crashes

late nebula
#

You might have a looping error.

#

Open your log in a simple text editor like Notepad

#

Then scroll down to see if you can find an error that starts repeating itself.

#

You can delete everything after the first occurence, save the log, and it should work when you put it on the website.

vocal sequoia
#

I think I have double files

late nebula
#

Double files?

CustomMusic (from Mods-Stardew Valley Expanded--3753-1-13-11-1629243294\CustomMusic\CustomMusic.dll)...
[10:37:02 TRACE SMAPI] Failed: you have multiple copies of this mod installed. To fix this, delete these folders and reinstall the mod: Mods\Custom Music-3043-1-8-1-162747

#

it says that but for muitple files

late nebula
#

Ah yeah the ol' SVE duplicate error.

#

Just delete a copy of themods you have two copies of.

vocal sequoia
#

Alright I try that thank you 🙂

#

in the "mods" folder it isn't showing the double files

late nebula
#

They might be in the SVE folder

vocal sequoia
#

Yep they were there

#

I think I have double "Loved_Label"'s though and I can't find it

late nebula
#

SVE comes with a lot of its dependencies pre-packaged which causes this issue a lot as soon as you want to start installing stuff that isn't SVE because you don't know that you already have the dependencies installed.

#

What does the error say?

#

It gives you the folder path.
