[ashen cedar]

If you're on PC, holding right click over planted crops shows how much more time it has

[opaque relic]

Oh cool, had no idea....that's nice!

[hearty mica]

Thank you!!! I'm having to relearn the most basic of things it seems.

[ashen cedar]

No worries at all! LOL And I only accidentally learned how to do this. I was noticing I was getting the info after visiting the dehydrator. And I was all "GOSH I wish this was a real and intended feature! It's handy~!" 😅 Then I had people say "It is!" and how to actually do it. It would be wildly handy though if they actually ever said in game that this is something you can do.

[late bronze]

Do you think for another update, make an underwater silo for auto feeder

[hearty mica]

I'd like the ocean to stay clean upon clearing the entire thing (so all light thingies activated).

[lean stone]

in this new patch they fixed the support to the modding community? because Nexus stopped modding 5 months ago after an update, out of 97 mods only about 8 continued to work and mod support was promised several patches ago, so any news in this way?

[shadow hill]

I really hope so. I would love to have the mods be able to be updated, that makes the game even more fun for people who want them. Especially for fishing

[grand niche]

I haven’t played in a while but I’m downloading the game now because of the new update but I was wondering idk if it’s bad to ask or not I was wondering about WeMod? With the new update how is that supposed to work idk if I can even ask about wemod in here I don’t want to get banned or anything. It’s just been a long time since I actually gamed so I just wanna know beforehand. I know there’s also nexusmods as well but I normally use wemod during single player but I was wondering if we could use the wemod during our play with our friends.

[fervent arch]

Are mods updated 4 the new update?

[viral citrus]

Is there a way to add Steam Remote Play Together?

[outer bronze]

Planning to make a clothing/hair mod add more clothes to the game ontop of thier amazing clothings and hairs it’s just I want more styles I’m a stylish person so any suggestions on type of clothes or hairs would be appreciated as I’m still learning some of the ropes haha

[tawny fable]

Sheriff of coral island ready for service

[stone shadow]

Please, I only need a Tyranosaurus leg, please it´s too hard , i´m exhausted, thank you

[potent cargo]

There is global pause for mp in game. Host can do it.

[loud rock]

im afraid you misunderstood, or maybe i misphrased it, freeze time while you can move around and do things. So it stays like 6 in the morning and you do the farmin, fishing, mining etc, till you manually start time again

[potent cargo]

I see

[hearty mica]

I know what you're talking about. Stardew has a mod that does exactly that. And it's one I'd love to have as well.

[crude raven]

I think somebody mentioned this ... but I would like to add custom pets. I would like to put my cat in the game :3

[rotund silo]

Game Save Editor / Character Removal
Due to the lack of that I managed to fork and update an existing github repo

Maybe add 5-8 players support? or 4 active sessions but more characters..

Anyways, the github repo is here to do that, read the Readme.MD

https://github.com/DEVXIX/coral-save-editor/

[prime patrol]

Holding A when holding a tool that targets the ground will tell you with a controller. Or X, probably, depending on what controller you’re using. I’ve only done this with an Xbox style controller.

[ocean crescent]

anyone willing to do some modwork for a shoddy easy mod i need made? dm

[crystal zinc]

may I ask how to use the editor? I am new to github and I dont see instructions in the readme

[rotund silo]

you will need to clone, and build it using yarn

[crystal zinc]

thanks! I will look up how to do this, can I dm you if I have more questions? No worries if not

[rotund silo]

sure np

[livid stirrup]

Do mods work in multiplayer?

[ocean crescent]

would pay, DM

[cloud plank]

like partially? like the mod faster movement speed you run at a normal pace but you dash the modded speed and distance?

[rotund silo]

Added more features, such as change steam_id to avoid players being corrupted / option to fix players positions on the save file to fix housing issues incase a player id changes and the houses breaks, just go back to the old order.

[vast plover]

Does anyone happen to know any specifics on how time is paused normally while in inventory, or talking to NPCs? I'm trying to figure out how to make a hopefully-simple mod (push a button to pause/unpause time).

All I could find was that some scripts/blueprints can detect when time is frozen, but not what actually controls or prompts the effect.

Well, perhaps a better example would be how time is paused during a festival, since the player can still move around and interact with things.

[quasi sail]

I would love a mod that would improve the range of the foraging ring, which increases your collection radius.

[merry copper]

Divorce mod or a break up mod would be nice

[unreal current]

please make something like divorce mod or something that were able to see all the cutscenes without being locked up first. i want to be able to see all the cutscenes and how the character reacts. before i do. i hate starting over and do all the guests-

[rancid stone]

Please let us have 2 or 3 pet and in multiplayer don't make 1 pet for 2 player

[feral valve]

But you can already adopt three pets

[sinful solar]

hmm, i tried to put mod in the folder, it goes in but it doesn't work?

[unique raven]

You can have 3 pets, you just need to upgrade your house and only the host can adopt them

[rancid stone]

Why only the host ?

[unique raven]

I don't know, that's how the devs put it into the game

[lost valley]

are there any mods that highlight things?

i love this game but i miss a lot of things, coconuts to be harvested from trees, random scavengables,e tc

i've looked through nexus and found nothing

[woeful hound]

I would love to have the feature of hangouts with my multiplayer partner/friend.

[narrow cloud]

Hi guys! Im making a series of character portrait sprites with different postures and gestures... I made some into .tga and .png

Does anyone know how I could inject those into the game? Any tips and guidance would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

[subtle plank]

I would like to have a mod that change the current sound effect, like stepping noise, cutting etc... I feel like it can be more comfortable

[lament oriole]

can someone make a mod to buy trash T.T

[narrow cloud]

Exactly and add horse galloping sounds on different terrains

[pallid trellis]

Is there a mod for adding extra shipping bins? I'd love to have one closer to my animals and another closer to my crops, or even within the sheds

[hushed current]

Is there a mod to change colors of house roofs? Id love to be able to have a little more customization

[graceful glen]

Can you expose Money Style and Margin as a config option or allow it to be overridden by a mod? I would be better if we were able to change those in already created saves

[fading glacier]

I have one that I use that allows this. I think it’s this one: https://www.nexusmods.com/coralisland/mods/48

and I buy trash from the lab

[fading glacier]

Has anyone seen a mod for giving more than 2 gifts a week? I didn’t see anything on nexus but just curious if I’m missing anything

[lament oriole]

this is exactly what i needed, thanks!

[marsh citrus]

can we use mods in multiplayer?

[hidden ledge]

depends on the mods, but general rule is: if all players use the same mods it should be good to go.
-# reminder that mods are not yet officially supported, so there is no support for issues that come from using mods.

[past herald]

Wish there was a mod that changes multiplayer house to the singleplayer house. Can’t believe we can’t share houses. I really hate the MP house.

[inland gulch]

more hairstyle mod, I also specifically request scene hair and Ichiban Kasuga's hairstyle

[barren finch]

I agree. So far I've worked very hard on my single player character and even finished part of the mermaid quest. I don't want to start a new multiplayer character.

I hope in the future this game can be more MMO or open conop to allow friends directly on each other's farm.

[hollow hemlock]

Replace horse with Roach from the Witcher

[rain gazelle]

Hihi, not sure if this is a proper channel so let me know if I should move somewhere else.

There's a mod I'd like to get done, basically the item spanwer/creative inventory type of mod. I'd like to comm someone to make it so feel free to reach out if anything...

[barren finch]

I would like, when I have a offering for the Altar that there is a red star over the alter that I have to donate to. The same with the museum. If there is a museum piece in my inventory then make a green or yellow star in the item.

[vernal patio]

Hi, i'm looking for the correct .uasset in fmodel to mod time speed. is it the correct place to ask?

[barren finch]

I would like to be able to zoom in a little when playing, not just for decorating and possibly also 360 turning so we can see our home and be more detailed with decorating.

[rotund mulch]

Do we have mods for the Mill??.. so it works like an auto chest?.. we just put stuff in it and it auto produce?

[halcyon drift]

A baby wrap so you can take your babies with you when you go places. Alternatively, a wrap made of seaweed so you can take your babies places in the ocean

[paper belfry]

You should put this in the feedback chat if you haven’t already. This would be so amazing as just a general game feature! I would love to carry my baby around while I do things.

[barren finch]

Sitting on furniture and eating meals at a dining table with boyfriend/girlfriend and or spouse

Have NPCs change outfits for festivals not just the seasons like they do for the spooky festival

[barren finch]

I would like to be able to mix and match the indoor flooring.

[soft eagle]

Can u guys add emotes like make gestures that be cute like hugging ,kissing , dance, laugh etc

[abstract crane]

Can you make it so that we choose or at least be told which color animal we're getting when buying them from the ranch? I don't think this is priority rn 💔

[ivory dew]

are there any mods out there that allow quicksaving or save anytime. Even if it was just save when leaving the game. Anything to make it playable for a busy working adult

[soft eagle]

I would love to take a walk with my dog in a leash that be cute and the dog can find trash ♡

Also can we trade stuff to our friends like drop things or trade plis!

And do emotes and gestures ♡

[timber path]

how to use?

[fringe axle]

is there a guide that shows how to get started with modding or creating your own mod for Coral Island?

[ashen cedar]

One, this is the #💡modding-suggestions channel and not one of the two #💬general #💭general2 channels or #🐔coral-general and two. That is a WILD comment you've made.

[ionic spear]

Hi, I deleted the message because it's in the wrong section, but when you say WILD, what do you mean ? (Rude, "you hit the point", Bold ?)

[shrewd igloo]

I'm not Lledra but I'd consider using vomiting emojis to describe a character extremely rude. To both the artist and the person who created her concept.

If you dislike a character's look there are others you can romance instead. The romance line-up has been finalized by this point so there will be no more new romance options.

[ashen cedar]

Jinzee absolutely got it right.

[west girder]

Hello! Does anyone know how to use the save editor😭

More specifically how to do this yarn install thing?

[silk herald]

It would be helpful if more than 4 players could play honestly. My friends and I are currently a group of 6.

[cinder swan]

I would like a mod that lets us make sunflower oil, coconut oil, and cocoa butter. And another mod that lets us make soap with fat and flower. (Maybe charcoal in place of lye?)

[cinder swan]

I also would like to be able to make salt blends, such as garlic salt.

[cinder swan]

Some way to display my favorite artifacts and stones would be amazing. Mayhaps a mannequin to display my favorite outfit?

[coral cairn]

Would love a no-stamina mod for tools. Ik there is one but it's outdated and doesnt work (v1.2b-1244). would love to have a working one haha

[sturdy arrow]

I don't know if this is the right place, but I would really like the game to have a Switch version.

[cinder swan]

A way for the foraging computer program to tell me what the Savannah cave loot is, so I can decide if I want to go that day and not waste my time.

[hearty mica]

I'd like a mod that revamps the computer where I can search for a specific item. -- Super helpful when you're Rank B-S and have near everything unlocked.

I don't know how feasible it is. And it may be nigh impossible. But I'd thought I'd at least say something about it.

[twilit heart]

guys, is there mod that change our family's outfit?

[trim plaza]

You can make coconuts oil,

[cyan wyvern]

I'd love to see a mod that adds in a way to access all of your storage containers both on land and underwater, from anywhere.

Failing that, maybe a version where a special container can be crafted that allows items placed in it to be accessed both from on land and underwater.

[hearty mica]

And coconut milk (found this out by accident via Cheese Press which was hooked up to my Mason Jars by my auto chest).

[sullen garden]

A mod to adopt ALL the pets because im greedy and I want all the pets for myself 😌

Also I was going to suggest a foraging mod like stardew valley has where you swipe your scythe and it collects every foragable item plus trash can items, but I just found out theres a forager ring (havent used it yet)

So maybe adding in some upgrades to it?

[hearty mica]

A mod that let's us either enchant rings or combine rings to mix and match since there's only 2 slots.

[cerulean solar]

divorce mod

[glass obsidian]

Are you still there, Maybe you can update you speed mod 😄

[sly path]

Does anyone know of a poly mod? I checked nexus and nothing yet. Makes me wish I knew how to mod so I could make it lol

[pallid spindle]

I would like to see a mod for likes/dislikes, just something to make it a little easier with gift giving.

[deep crag]

That would be handy, for sure! In the meantime, you can check https://coralisland.wiki/
for a complete list of what each NPC loves, likes, or dislikes.

Also, after you give an NPC a gift, you can view it in the Relationship details. There’s a tab that shows what they like or hate, which updates as you discover their preferences 💙

example from my lovely Wakuu

[pallid spindle]

Yeah I have a couple gifts filled out, I don't know if it's a bug but when I get suggestions on what people like it doesn't get filled in, like other games that have that feature.

[deep crag]

I see what you mean. The likes and dislikes are only recorded after you give a gift and see the NPC’s reaction. Hints or suggestions won’t automatically fill the list.

[silent olive]

Does anyone happen to know how mods are handled with multiplayer? I've got one that disables trash respawns from areas you've cleared while diving and am wondering if I should take it out before playing with my friend tonight.

[south imp]

I’ve never modded this game but, in other multiplayer games with mods especially a mod like the one you’re describing either it needs to be removed or the other player needs to mod their game as well. Usually in multiplayer games with mods all players need to have the same mods installed. The only exception would be purely cosmetic mods like a shader or recolor.

[silent olive]

Alright, thank you 🙂

[still comet]

This aged well in-game 😇🧜🏼‍♂️

[tardy bear]

Just wanted to say I played with someone on ps5 and my mods still worked but only for me so it made it quite buggy so I'd suggest making sure the other person has same mods like stardust said but some may kinda work without them having it too

[silent olive]

Makes sense. I just removed the launch settings that called the mod while playing with them so I didn't have to fuss with moving files.

[devout sage]

Is this mod still working? ; - ;

~~Also... has anyone made a mod that allows us to reset the save while keeping all the income? like what happened a few years back? lol ~~ nevermind, theres no point with the mods that give us money lol

[silent olive]

Yes, it's still working.

[devout sage]

Oh, it is not working for me :c
the trash is re-spawning

[silent olive]

• is your mod up to date
• is it in the right folder
• did you change your launch options on steam so it would use mods?

[devout sage]

Yes, installed it today, cleaned all the ocean, and seems to me that trash is still spawning. Will do a clean again and confirm.

[silent olive]

If it's still not working at that point would probably be worth reaching out to the mod author on nexus

[devout sage]

Yep, thank you.

[serene sentinel]

Hi all, Im new to modding and im trying to make a super whimsical farm, which includes recolouring mushroom trees and bricks and such. But I am having a few issues, help would be great! I'll explain more in a bit :)))

[grave raven]

Hi ! I just dl the mod today, and I need an advice about the last point : Where to find the launch option?

[silent olive]

Right click on coral island in your steam library and go to...I think it's properties? Should be a text box labeled launch options in the first window.

Sorry no screenshot, at work atm. Lemme know if you find it and if not, I'll take pics when home.

[grave raven]

Aaaah I think I found it right then ! Thx ! ❤️

[hollow dagger]

Hi I am trying to edit a mod called Enhanced Tools at Coral Island Nexus. The mod author refuses to change the front and side area of the scythe's range to a ridiculously high number like 20. I need to learn how to edit this in UnrealEngine or some other utility. I need this, because cleaning up the underwater coral tree is taking FOR-EV-ER. Can anyone teach me?

[naive lion]

Hello! I have a good idea for a mod. It’d be really cool if the grass tiles you can buy to decorate your farm change with the season. It’s a little jarring having bright green grass in the fall, when everything is changing colors - for example.

I have no ability to make a mod like this, though. I’d love if someone who enjoys creating mods picks this up and lets me know

[cyan crag]

Hi, does anyone have a mod to stop the game from crashing? I play on Steam and my computer is very good, the hardware is more than enough to run the game well, but it keeps crashing without warning, no error message on the screen — it just closes. Can anyone help me?

[woeful gulch]

Hello there!
Some crashes can be caused by many things in the game, do you mind reporting it here: https://discord.com/channels/623097219628662784/1105385747290280036 with the details such as when/where did the crash happens, what were you doing before the crashes happens, and your PC/GPU spec? You can also follow the reporting template in the guideline!

Our team will help you there!

[storm fern]

how easy is it to mod Coral Island to have more than 4 players?

[steel silo]

Where I can report a data lost? I can not see my save anymore :/

[deep crag]

Sorry to hear about the issue. Just to check first, were you using any mods when this happened? If not, you can make a report here https://discord.com/channels/623097219628662784/1222876094190059542 yaa~

[hexed sapphire]

heyhey. less a suggestion and more a question. I wanna try using mods for my second save now to make a few of the more tedious bits less tedious.
How often do mods generally tend to break?
as in: should I avoid installing any mod made before the current patch or may it just be fine?

[loud pumice]

They tend to break when a new game patch is in place. I'd say you're better off trying now, when the version is compatible, because afterwards, who knows how they'll behave

[hexed sapphire]

right right. okay. thanks!

[midnight pasture]

Does the publisher intend to add other languages to the game? I really like this game, but I'm not very good at English and I don't understand many parts of what I read. I hope that the game will be updated with Vietnamese in the future.

[gray hemlock]

Is there a tutorial on how to create mod for coral island?

[thorn kayak]

Hi everyone! I made a video on how to mod textures for this game. Check it out if you're interested: https://youtu.be/p83N_Vu7Pfs

[dawn jolt]

hi everyone i am new to this whhol thing, but the pool at the house from one house layouts ...is there ever going to be water in it bercause its just am empty pool with no watter n and it looks solly

[frail vale]

Does a similar mod exist or is anyone able to create one?

[last sandal]

Were there any clothing mods out there? I haven’t been able to find any out there! I wish I could make them but I have no idea how to mod.

[wispy crane]

I've been trying to mod my game for three days now ive followed three tutorials but its still not working and I'm officially lost now (Im on Steam to specify)

[plush narwhal]

i’m playing on steam deck and i finally got it to work. once you download the mods, open the coral island folder, then go to project coral, content, then paks. you can move all of the mods there and it should work!

[maiden lotus]

does mods turn off achievements?

[mellow reef]

first

[modest veldt]

-farming changes (say if someone doesn’t like a certain mechanic or simply wants to add onto it, they could change it)
-several pets (more than just the two pets and several can be equipped at a time)
-more romancables (those who want to try their hand at making a character have a romancable story and the ability for marriage)

[soft pond]

A few mods suggestions to think about:

• Custom crops
• Custom designed furniture
• Custom designed house models
• Custom designed outfits
• Custom cooking recipes (which can also be used with the custom crops)
• Being able to have a romantic relationship with ANY of the NPCs in the game

[analog hamlet]

recycling mechanics

[fair willow]

Cant wait to see some nsfw mods!

[modest veldt]

I know these mods tend to take time but I miss seeing large overhaul mods from my Minecraft days (there are a lot of those)
-general overhaul mods that change the game up
-extra storyline mods where someone adds in a new aspect of the game and a story to boot (perhaps the ability to become a mermaid 👀)

[wheat citrus]

I want to be able to complete quests or requests from NPCs and townspeople

[fervent thistle]

nice suggestion fishy-fish oil

[fair willow]

[tardy gulch]

Animal reskins!

[distant burrow]

A couple I’d like to see are:
-Texture Replacements (so you can mod your pet/horse/farm animals to new colors)
-Ability to either change models or add new ones ( for example modify the horse to a unicorn 🦄 or better yet let us add new model to the game with same mechanics)
-kinda combining the 2 above, let us add new colors of the current farm animals as their own model (not replacements but additions)
-give ourselves Mermaid tails (if it’s not part of main game) so we can live underwater

[regal silo]

ways to create new areas, like more dungeons, more coral reefs or perhaps even new islands. perhaps a way to expand the museum with more aquariums and such

[foggy falcon]

The current dialogue sounds like it’s very complicated but hopefully the ability to add in new dialogue to the existing characters without overriding things. So you could add in more NPCs and interact with existing NPCs.

[primal rose]

Mods that add furniture or change designs. Patterns of dogs. Maybe some for extra cut scenes between people.

[solar birch]

• the ability to have multiple textures present for animals. So you could make them look a bit more dynamic and not all the same

[foggy falcon]

Being able to create unique dirt tiles that only work for certain crops

[long flame]

this isn’t a mod per say but a suggestion to allow modding on something like the steam workshop or moddrop / nexus mods. it’s really convenient for downloading them n stuff. don’t starve together has a wonderful modding system via steam workshop & stardew valley’s modding through moddrop / nexus is also much more convenient than having to edit files or manually do that stuff, especially for younger / newer players

[mellow reef]

@long flame I think that's what they're hoping for! 🙏

[long flame]

mod wise

• overlay or texture replacements would probably be popular due to not rly changing the base game
• house expansions / differences in layout and appearance
• expanded farms that changes the size or maybe adds different kinds of farms that have pros & cons

[long flame]

POG wonderful thank you!

[soft pond]

According to the Kickstarter page, this is already an option within the game

[hexed warren]

In Stardew i use 2 mods for more info without change many things: lookup anything and UI Info Suite. This two already helps!

[woeful sapphire]

I think a polyamory mod would be cool

[abstract ocean]

Idea's for support could be even things like

• mods that allow you to "cheat" in a sense, those do tend to be popular, even if I don't use them myself. usually they involve giving yourself money, tracking where npc's are, telling you what npc's like, ect
• mods that allow you to change the looks of buildings other then your own house. in stardew I use a mod that changes how the bath looks.
• the ability to edit the mape, for those adding new area's/buildings. or who maybe want to change how the map looks.
• being able to change the UI, making bigger, smaller, changing where bits are located, ect.
• Changing character portraits, not nessisarily the model, but portrats when talking.
• more editing options for characters like hairstyles, clothing, ect.
• Adding more crafting stations, or adding/changing what a crafting station does. Like say they add more fruit, if you have brewing, they could add that to the list of things brewable and add it to the outcome.

[merry tulip]

• Mods that allow more hair styles
• Mods that allow more outfits
  -Mods that allow you to add in different kinds of pets

[distant burrow]

-Mod to change camera angles in the game, since its 3D i think it could be really fun

[clear pumice]

Coming in with literally one mod request: strawberry cow plz 🍓

[drowsy sierra]

Mod to add all sorts of animals.

[rocky olive]

mod so we can become a mermaid!

[cerulean sky]

Body type mods in the creation menu would be nice, if the Devs aren't doing that.

[dusk kelp]

They want to make as many body types as possible but they aren't sure just yet if they can have them available by the time early access releases. So we'll for sure have 2 types available at EA and more to come in the future

[worldly shell]

Generally I'd love to see mods that add content: more crops, fruit, animals, bugs, fish, minerals, house furniture and decorations etc. And more areas to explore

[tired terrace]

Echoing the idea for support for mods to add additional content, such as crops, trees, animals (both coop/barn and pets), bugs, fish, minerals, and house decorating items. The ability to do terrain recolors would also be nice if possible (I have a collection of several mods in Stardew that make the colors a bit more muted and toned down)

[worldly shell]

They also seems to only have plans for 12 languages, so it would be nice to add the missing ones via mods

[bronze bane]

I think once we see what we can do in game will be best to then get idea
But one thing could be skin 'imperfections' like scars etc

[astral delta]

If it’s not already integrated into the game, something like UI Info suite that stardew has available for a mod would amazing as well as the “auto open and close” gate feature if there are gates that we can build in the game.

[robust basalt]

Copying in the right channel, different camera angles or free roaming camera, like over the shoulder so you can see more of the world! I know some other top down games like divinity original sin 2 have "improved camera" which I use, so that would be awesome!

[rocky olive]

furniture, house look, clothing, hair, and appearance mods would be neat

pathway mods too :p

[rocky olive]

Cooking mods!
Extra crop mods!
Furniture customization mods

[wicked cipher]

One I think would be funny would be a mod where you can grow and make your own alcohol and if you drink too much in game it messes with the perspective and makes it harder to do things

[distant burrow]

definitely a mod for having multiple/unlimited pets ;D

[hollow gyro]

I would love to see a tractor mod, I love the relaxing aspect of farming sims, but I would kill for a faster way to plant, water, and harvest crops!

[urban kernel]

In Stardew i really like the automate mod and other QoL mods.
It's hard to say what I want without knowing the game tho. 😄

[merry marlin]

As long I haven't played the game myself I can not really say what I want as a mod.

[near topaz]

I'd love to see a mod that can expand the ingame 'game cartridge' collection. Maybe some sort of minigame creator to create minigames within the game UI itself

[bold hearth]

-expand bag storage
-teleport to different locations
-ability to use items from any bag/storage box while crafting

-mod to have other NPCs to be the ones pursuing you/proposing etc

[bold hearth]

-Eliza Thornberry mod. Let me go on adventure with animals and talk to them 🤣😍

[rocky olive]

a botany mod? lots of flowers and trees and plants you could grow in a greenhouse or something?

or a zooology mod that hads a ton of animals into the game?

[neat jackal]

suggestion, more island and more npc to interact with

[late citrus]

I hope to make a mod that allows me to add more variety to the caves and combat. This usually feels like the most lacking part (understandably)

Oh and slime ranching.

Every farming sim needs slime ranching, to be honest...

[urban kernel]

I think i just copy that from an rival marriage discussion on feedback/suggestions. Would be fun but really messy. Who doesn't like Mods that mess up everything?

[idle kelp]

I think definitely the ability to mod/add townies like people have done in Stardew Valley with mods like Stardew Valley Expanded and such

[last hearth]

yes yes yes! also we need a veteriarian in CI

[worldly shell]

Editable text (for language mods) and editable portraits

[rocky pike]

I definitely love the idea of adding townies!

And mod more love interests. Also saw a suggestion on the KS comments to continue with the PC’s child and I thought that was a really neat idea

[jovial loom]

I second a text editor! Dialogue mods are my bread and butter in stardew. Also some of the work that gets put in by modders to expand characters in general can really add longevity/replayability

[rocky olive]

@last hearth a veterinarian would be awesome!

[boreal edge]

oh that would be the most amazing modding project to start modding for me. I'd love to design clothing packs, esp Lao folkwear

[upper vault]

Question. Has it been mentioned if say on the consoles something as simple as stardews npc anywhere. Via the map will be built into the game?

[rocky olive]

question,if u pay the 85 pack,u and your friend will get the pet?or only one?

[random gorge]

Hmm u might get a more accurate response from the questions channel but I think only one

[random gorge]

But I might be wrong lol

[rocky olive]

oops,i was thinking was this channel sry XD

[inner hound]

Hey! That's okay!

There should be an updated chart, gimme a sec!

Or yet, go to #coral-questions-and-help and check the pinned messages!

At any rate, here's more of what I'm thinking:

• If multiple pets aren't allowed at once, then maybe the potential for a sort of reskin would be good!
• Mods that edit the farm you start with, unless multiple options are implemented.
• Mods that can add more complex or new interactions with other characters.

[restive fiber]

I think polyamorous relationships would be cool later on. All consenting, no cheating. The only game I can think that did that was Hades and I was honestly so grateful I felt teary for days. 😅

[rocky olive]

i want poly relationships too

[cinder moss]

^^ 3rding the idea of polyam

[rocky olive]

why would someone react with the nauseated face emoji to that idea?

[cinder moss]

i dont know but it makes me sad,,,

[rocky olive]

yeah same here, like i havent seen that same treatment to other ideas

[cinder moss]

but yeah i think stardew has a polyam mod and I would love to be able to romance multiple ppl

[rocky olive]

its the ultimate choice for those who cant make up their minds who they want to romance in games like this

i want like 5 husbands XD

[coarse skiff]

i dont know if id like to get a hubby or a wife. but with a poly mod i could have both and also all of them and you dont have to choose. that would be nice!

[rocky olive]

yeah! it makes thins easier

i totally want to wake up to find my 5 husbands walking around my house in the morning XD

also idk if your marriage to other players lasts when theyre not playing with you, but if i marry another player i dont want to be locked out of marrying npcs

on that file anyway

[safe elbow]

I think mods to create new npc’s and edit the current ones would be great. Also maybe one to add in different pets and animals?

Most of the mods I have for Stardew are like quality of life mods though(I guess that’s what they’d be called? They make certain aspects of the game a little easier and less frustrating bc I like a more casual gameplay for farming sims), but I’d have to play the game first to see what I might want in that case

[delicate solstice]

I think id like Rival-mancing options even if it is only in a mod, just because i sort of liked the expansions of characters developing different sort of relationships w each other and not just being "the player characters" suitor in the romance aspect of the game. That! And when your player character has a child you get rival kids! More npcs with different personalities! Which is why i understand this to be a lot to add in haha.

Ill chat this elsewhere since it sort of derails, and since I am not a modder and wouldnt know how this works, itd be really interesting to see an rng play into rival romances? Like x and y characters have a potential of getting together but so does x and z, depending on if a specific event happens in game that is also randomized or whatever. Adds a little spuce of life to rival romances id say haha

[heavy aspen]

I don't know much about modding and I think similar things have been mentioned above, but I think it'd be good to allow for mods that let you modify or create new cutscenes. This would allow for things like creating rival romances, allowing people to romance characters that aren't currently available to romance, or even being able to expand upon friendships and relationships that are left ambiguous or aren't explored at all (like the theory about the Wizard being Abigail's father in SDV)

I also definitely think re-texturing mods should be supported! Like changing the visuals of your farm or your pets or whatever you want without actually changing the functionality of it

[heavy aspen]

And as long as I'm at it - informational mods! Mods that let you hover the cursor over a plant and see how long it will take for it to grow/how much money the crop will make, or hover over a townie and see how many hearts they're at and their likes and dislikes. I've also seen a version that allows you to view the wiki in-game, and a version that allows you to toggle how much or how little information you see based on what you want to see at a glance

[ivory iris]

i'm just dreaming here but.... mod to create your own sword, customize its stats and appearance

[inner hound]

Probably beating a dead horse here, but you can always remove reactions from your messages, I believe.

[rocky olive]

you can remove reactions

[inner hound]

Also, throwing it out there on this topic - this is for modding suggestions. Everyone is able to suggest what they'd like without having to fear judgment. If you don't like an idea, and it becomes a thing - then who says you need to get it? Mods are totally optional, so reactions of disgust is...somewhat pointless.

[rocky olive]

not to mention very rude

[inner hound]

Like this! I know SDV implemented a forge in update 1.5, but you are not able to choose the enchantment you receive. So being able to have something similar to Minecraft where you technically could customize the stats and even appearance would be amazing.

[rocky olive]

that sounds like fun

[inner hound]

I like this idea a lot! I feel like, for the animals, most of it might fall under the category of a "reskin" instead of an actual mod.

[mellow reef]

I removed the reactions. If you don't personally agree with something on here, please avoid being hateful about it. This is a place of acceptance, just keep scrolling if you don't like something you see.

[inner hound]

Thank you, Tani. Tani great mod.

[rocky olive]

thanks tani!

[inner hound]

This is gonna be an essential mod for any player.

[rocky olive]

id love a mod or addiction to the game where i can have a kirin, as a pet or a farm animal i dont care, i want a kirin

and bunnies, i want farm animal bunnies, i want a nice rabbit hutch and be able to have like 12 holland lop eared bunnies

[safe elbow]

i'm not going to lie to you i don't know what the difference is

[inner hound]

Like...

Think of it this way. Do you play Minecraft at all?

[safe elbow]

i do not. I'd guess a reskin mostly just changes appearance while a mod does more than that but beyond that i don't really know much about it tbh

[inner hound]

Yeah, basically, you've got the concept!

Think of it like playing with a texture pack - you're not changing anything about the game itself except how it looks!

[safe elbow]

Thanks for explaining it

[charred minnow]

Modding suggestion: dialogues, whether to add more or edit existing dialogues. bonus if we can set specific conditions for dialogues to fire like relationship level and/or season/date

[inland sedge]

Dearest modgods: please make rivalry marriages, TIA

[surreal acorn]

just customizable outfit(bored about that harvest moon clothes)

[knotty olive]

Suggestion for mod: The Empty Modhouse. A single empty house permitting mod folk to create one dateable character that lives there.

Creators make their own character
Mod creators can modify appearance and text of one character through premade template folder. Workshop could use this asset to marry and implement into the game's natural events. Think one-character placeholder data that can be filled by Steam Workshop designers.

Actions, triggers, and walking pathway can be built by the game designers, the mod community fills in the rest.

If this house is built into the code, it could allow unlimited variations of community-created marriage candidates so no one wants more candidates (the Stardew Valley dilemna). One character at a time in one house. Unlimited creations, customizable text for all preset actions, something never done before in a simulation game like this. Imagine hundreds of user-created characters that can be selected in the Workshop. (One at a time)

This could also be a great cash generator add-on to buy additional characters that the devs design for this house in later years

[winged adder]

Here’s an idea...the player collects CDs of different seasonal soundtracks that they can choose to play on their farm, that way you can play summer stuff in winter or vice versa. I think harvest moon AWL implemented this with records and a record player

[glad garnet]

If Poly relationships aren't added to the live game it would be super cool for a Mod that allows you to Marry/Date more than one person(and no one getting upset over it) and have dialogue of your spouses/bf/gf/other like acknowledging each other and the relationship!~

[regal vault]

I posted this on the suggestions channel, but since the developers already have enough on their plate I figure maybe someone might like to make a mod out of one of these ideas:
"Pretty sure somewhere on here it has been mentioned, but I also have lots of suggestions: could animal breeding, genetics/mutations, in coop/barn design, manatee pastures, and rescuing be involved in the game? For the animal breeding/genetics they could increase milk production, have softer wool, different fur colors, fur length, etc. If not then maybe just add more breeds of animal like I know some cows are more known for their milk and others are more known for their meat. For chickens there could be some that lay eggs more frequently, lay different colored eggs (like blue, white, brown, and I believe green is an egg color too!). For the coop/barn design maybe you could just decorate more inside and then have upgradeable things you can add that can increase animal happiness passively? On another note, since we reached the merfolk kingdom, could they have manatee pastures or something? They're essentially like sea cows so that'd be awesome! Also being able to rescue animals found on the beaches or in the forests or mine as a random event would be great too! I love the fact that Macy (right?) rescued a lobster and is now her pet, but as an option you could also release your rescues too or maybe that marine biologist lady Ling (I think thats her name) might want to nurse it back to health before setting it free and it could be a cut scene on setting it free."

[median geode]

Reposting from feedback/suggestions channel-

A feature I’d love to have is the ability to adjust the volume of the music. I love the environment sounds (wind/rain/water/animals/walking). Most times the music is only omitted during a storm, but I’d love to simply chill to natural sounds too when I’m playing/winding down after work ☺️

[inner hound]

Kinda like SDV did with their jukebox, I like that idea! But making it more like a collectible thing, love it.

Fun idea - we were teasing the concept of a Coral Island cookbook up in #🐔coral-general. Why not add a mod that can allow us to create our own recipes in game?!

[somber tangle]

That sounds awesome!

[inner hound]

Or maybe adding various pieces of cooking equipment to create different recipes?

[quaint ore]

Covering my bases here. I'd love it if we had the option of the rainbow flag shown here being changed into other pride flag variants, so folks can fly whatever flag suits them!

[alpine wraith]

perhaps a more realistic looking crops and farm animals instead of the more cute cartoon look

[vagrant quiver]

Hope, we get more variants flag like national flag, emoji flag and more 😄

[dreamy bluff]

I'm not sure if this has been mentioned before but also having a mod to completely retexture the bug catching? I think it's a really cool feature and don't want to remove it but I've got a bad bug phobia so having a mod to make the bugs less bug looking would be super helpful, I know I have to download them for lots of games. Something to maybe make them way less realistic (Idk if that one picture on the kickstarter page is how they'll look in game)

[novel cipher]

Rival marriage and kids!!!

[sharp terrace]

Or maybe we could have a flag on our own house or farm somewhere which can be customised too

[old trout]

Yeah I would definitely love to see different horse breeds lol

[jade trellis]

That is magical, and I love it

[rigid smelt]

Hi there! Please leave this channel only for suggestions for mods for the game, and not suggestions for copyright infringement through mods, or advertisement of another game. 🙂

[fossil agate]

I would love to see a mod that allows you to have more than the 2 maximum pets. Give me all the furry, scaled and feathered pets possible please. 🥺

[rocky olive]

After island hopping becomes a thing, maybe modding in new areas would be really neat.

[weak raptor]

Sounds like a solid idea to me. I’d personally really like an arachnophobia filter to remove the spooders 😦

[mystic summit]

it has been mentioned that there will be a spider likeness bar to make the spiders less/more realistic! it wont remove them completely i presume, but it should make them better

[dreamy bluff]

thats awesome news thank you!

[crimson jackal]

Think we can get a nod to turn chickens into raptors?

[viscid shore]

@crimson jackal 💜💜

[neat jackal]

[spare plover]

Maybe we could get a mod that can turn our character into a mermaid/merman when underwater. I think that would be fun. (Though I might be biased because I really like the design of the mermaids/mermen 😂)

[autumn thistle]

i want a historial kingdom mod.that's will be good

[wispy topaz]

Suggestion: I noticed it mentioned in a couple other channels, and I thought it might be easier to implement as a mod... the ability to adopt children without needing to co-parent.

[rocky olive]

suggestion: an exotic animals mod where you can have exotic animals on your farm (its more for pets) like lions and tigers and stuff

it was a huge letdown for me with harvest moon animal parade that the lions and other exotics who were on the cover werent animals you could actually own but you could only see them for the "animal taxi" i felt very cheated, i want to have lions on my farm plz XD

[neat jackal]

add unlimited animals capacity/caps.
animals can gets wilds/rampage.

[wispy topaz]

Suggestion: Mod that prevents animal death

[neat phoenix]

I think this is already confirmed to be a standard feature of the game!

[coral plank]

Dont know if this has already been mentioned but the ability to mod in more kind of: crops, clothes, furniture, hair, animals, fruit trees, fish, pets aaand i think thats it :P

More kinds of/types of*

[fallow stump]

Yay I hate it when animals die

[wispy topaz]

Suggestion: Mod that allows for different body types.

I'm a plus size lady and I'd love to play with a chubby player character >.<

[vale forge]

There will actually be different body types in this game! 😊 2 to start and then later expanding

[wispy topaz]

❤️ yaaaaaay ❤️ I love you guys ^o^

thank you

[brazen prism]

Will it be possible to hack in more than 4 players? I know multiplayer dev is hard because i've done it myself, and making sure the game works/is balanced for anything more than 4 players might be difficult but I would like to be able to play with my full friend group at once if possible

I remember in stardew valley it was possible to edit the save file to hack in more houses for more player slots on a multiplayer game

i totally understand why the multiplayer is "officially" capped at 4 but increasing the player limit is definitely a mod I could get behind (or work out myself)

[knotty olive]

Adding to Modhouse / Workshop Create-a-Character 🧑🏼‍🦱 Suggestion

First, wow, thanks for making that idea the 2nd highest upvote ❤️ of every suggestion thus far. (Posted 2/19 if you missed it) 🙂

Building off the idea of allowing a premade template "empty home" to be filled by one build-a-character via Workshop or DLC, and having Stairway Games to create the pathways/placeholders/actions/triggers of an player build-a-character placeholder for events/movement/etc, what would be left is allowing Workshop users to fill in a 3-D Model & dialogue.

App to Create-A-Character

If this idea is used, I'm curious if the designers would build an official simple .exe application for it? Quick UI, "upload model here", "Text at beach" "Text in town", "Text in Romance 1", and prefill a default example. This could regulate all the content, ensure no swear words, etc. etc. to keep the devs happy, ensure nobody broke the gaming code, and help us creative folk fill the workshop with brand new characters that people can download. Export to workshop in the ways want it uploaded, and everything's compatible.

And I'd love if this gave the Switch/etc. players a place to download some DLC and continue supporting you for years to come.

Workshop-wise, my brother is a graphic designer, and I'm a writer, but neither of us can do what the other one does. Maybe an official application would ensure quality work from what people are best at doing and combine the two.

Thanks again, this team/game is awesome and looking forward to everything you have planned!!

[surreal acorn]

Suggestion : Mod that featuring craft the outfit, clothes, to trade with other players gonna be great

[old cosmos]

Mod question and request I guess: skeleton chickens and really just.. a spooky or Halloween style themed mod? I like cartoony spooky things and the thought of having a skeleton chicken won't leave my brain after I miss read the dev diaries a bit back. Also love the idea of skeleton horses or even just goth themed stuff (black lamas anyone? Fiery horses? Spectral cows? I'm not into zombies generally but if their cute zombie sheep maybe? 8D black and gold peafowl??? ... I'm to excited for this hypothetical mod... xD )

[fervent mirage]

hey, anyone knows what the coding language is for modding?

[rocky olive]

marriage is great but i would love to have a bestfriend option of sorts, i dont know how to explain but more then jus "bestfriend" title , like actual benefits or something (i will edit if i remember a way to explain it better)

[quartz hollow]

I assume this is already going to be implemented in some way due to this message. https://discordapp.com/channels/623097219628662784/712238790303023104/816209556031799296

[rocky olive]

omg thank you so much for the info

[ember pivot]

💜 Aw, that would be a great option for people wanting to play as ace or aro/ace! I remember that being an option in the Japanese version of one of the Harvest Moon games, but that was (allegedly) more to skirt around any taboos with lesbianism. It's nice to see it being treated as a valid choice!

[old trout]

How do you guys feel about a mod that can change love candidates' and/or townies' gender? I think that would be super interesting and could help imagination a lot. You want a town of nonbinaries or all women/men, feel like a certain character feels more male/female to you or something like that, just a few clicks away. I know it's probably super difficult to implement, but wanted to throw that idea out there anyway in case it triggers someone else's inspiration for something more doable.

[halcyon plover]

I'd be concerned if there was any physical/art changes in this mod, genderbending tends to reinforce gender stereotypes and alienate trans and nonbinary people
If it's just a switch that means 'oh character x, who was female, is now male' I think that's interesting, I suppose but I'm not sure what it accomplishes

[old trout]

I don't see why it would need physical/art changes, that's against the concept of gender to begin with. I just think many nonbinaries for example would feel a lot more at home if they could decide a particular character whose personality they like a lot is a nonbinary, just like them.

[halcyon plover]

I guess
I suppose it would be cool if maybe instead of a gender mod it was a pronoun mod? Like you can change what pronouns x character is referred to with?

[old trout]

That's what I meant, sorry, English is not my first language so I wasn't sure how to word it

[halcyon plover]

Oh! Yeah I'm not sure how you would go about doing that outside of hardcoding changing the dialogue any time a pronoun is used to describe that character though, especially if you want to include they/them which changes the grammar of the sentence it's being used in

[vital spoke]

I personally don’t like “genderbent” visual mods because most of the time they rely on the idea people have to present/be passable and it can veer into messy territory. Gender neutral language in mods is a lot better IMO.

[elder tusk]

Suggestion- it would be cool if Dippa can be romanceable. I know it’s a lot of work but would be cool to add. Also she’s married but maybe sometimes she is not. Thank you!

[brittle storm]

Dippas pronouns are they/them as far as we know :)

[narrow quarry]

Addition of aro/ace characters and the ability to form a committed queerplatonic relationship with a villager (e.g. marriage-level commitment with option to adopt kids). I'm not either myself, but I have a few friends who love the farming sim genre but always feel left out because there are no fluffy close friendship options or commitment without romantic expectations.

[elder knot]

just as an idea and I dont know if it has been offered before but for trans folks who realise they are trans or come to terms with it going through a bit of a transition? like transwomen could turn it on and their character would have their hair grow out, if they want it to, over two or three seasons? They could visit one of the docs and make an appointment for official transition? and after that would have the body type switched ? like if you first had the boobless body model it will switch to the withboob body model. I am not trans myself so I am not quite sure if this would be something people would actually want but it could also add a story telling perspective to other peoples playthrough even if they arent trans themselves.
I hope I am not being inconsiderate with this it was just something I thought would help people to identify more with their character and to avoid dysphoria if they started playing it and now feel like they have the wrong body model but would like to continue on the save

[icy glade]

I heard that they are experimenting(?) with polygamous relationships

[sly heron]

The game will allow access to the character creator at any time, allowing players to adjust their appearance even partway through the game!

[elder knot]

oh I see! thats great! thank you!

[neat jackal]

I have an idea. please add mods, where you can teleport from current location to another.

[fleet bison]

Mod where I can pause time. In every farming game I've played, I hated the feeling of being rushed. Rune Factory 4 is probably one of the few games where time didn't feel so incredibly short to me. So, yeah, ability to pause time.

[rigid smelt]

I know it's not pausing time, but there will be a time slider like in My Time at Portia where you'll be able to make the day a little longer to suit your play style. 🙂

[hexed minnow]

@rigid smelt Wait ✋there's a time slider in Portia? I've had that game since Beta and I didn't even realize that 😅

[quartz hollow]

Ive had it for a really long time and didn't know until I joined this server either lol

[tame egret]

oh I'm another person who just learned that right now LOL

[quartz girder]

Ihope someone can make a moss farm or algae farm for like different potions or like food buffs

[glad matrix]

hmm i think many people will disagree in my suggestion, but i hope there is anime potrait style mod

[inland jasper]

I think that would be cool

[unreal valve]

i mean the nice thing about mods is that no one has to use any specific one, so even if someone hates seeing anime-style stuff, they just dont have to download it

[rigid smelt]

Just remember to leave this channel for suggestions only, and if you'd like to chat more in depth to switch to #💬general or #💭general2 !

[gaunt thunder]

since people keep asking for npc-npc romances and/or matchmaking, despite devs giving that a hard no, I assume there's gonna be at least one mod for that

[knotty olive]

I wanted to post my 3 favorite mods in SDV so that they may inspire ideas on a healthy CI modding direction, especially multiplayer files.

• CJB Cheats (Money/Time/Teleporting/Weather/Relationships/Skills
• CJB Item Spawner (Allows every item of the game to generate in a window by pressing I, selects all quality)
• Buy Cooking Recipes (Allows all recipes to be purchased)

[wanton zinc]

If there is a polyamory mod like there is in SDV that would be so neat ❤️
It has filled my big ole heart with so much joy to be able to date and marry multiple peoples in SDV with the mod and also feel seen as someone who is non-monog irl. ❤️
Also, pastel/cute aesthetic mods are always super duper ❤️

[maiden badge]

I am seconding this!!

[carmine nacelle]

I'd love that!

[tender nova]

I got my backer survey today and when it asked about modding suggestions, it made me wonder if there were already plans in place to give some animals a rare chance of having albinism, leucism, or other rare coloration mutations seen in nature. It would be pretty sweet to hatch a little leucistic quail 🤍

[lone adder]

Ability to make a custom Pets or even more House part would be cool to see #💡modding-suggestions

[clear elm]

I actually really love melanistic animal variants

[tardy fable]

reading this, my brain immediately jumps to "ooh like shiny pokemon"

[tender nova]

Yesss!

[tender nova]

Same!

[halcyon plover]

Also, it would be really cool to have vitilligo as a body option

[maiden badge]

yeah that sounds dope

[calm creek]

in-game timer mod, counts the amount of time you spend in game, outside of loading screens

for speedruns

[dreamy ingot]

thirding polyamory! it'd be SO wonderful to be able to marry pablo AND macy, and while i understand the amount of work that would create for the main team (as a designer myself), i say give me the tools to do it myself! and i will do it!

[tiny dome]

I would love to see a 'rival' farmer npc added into the game as a mod on another island.

They dont have to have a farm but just the 'knowledge' about farming itself (in the scope of the game) and have the ability to send the player gifts at most once per season outside of event days. They dont have to have appearances on the main island or any events on the main island but anyway.

The meat and potatos of the mod is the 'rival' themself. I think it would be most fun to have a tsundere rival who helps you out with certain things (like maybe if we can lose tools like in sdv they may send us a replacement if our friendship is high enough) and is there to add to variety. I would like to see one tsundere where they are a bit sarcastic but actually wholesome 100, but since anyone who might want a rival wouldnt like that maybe have a few more personality types. Like the stand-offish but good natured type thats kinda quiet but helpful, or the boisterous and helpful (though forgetful) types or others. But if anyone does take on a rival farmer npc mod i would love to help in any way i could (which would probably just be dialogue) and if anyone took it up there could be a poll for personality types chosen to work on. Might be a bit much and may sound demanding though so i understand if it doesnt happen lol

[rose needle]

A mod where your bees attack you if you have a banana in your inventory when you get close to the hive XD

[gaunt thunder]

why banana?

[rose needle]

@gaunt thunder because the chemical components of a banana that give it it's smell closely resemble the distress pheromones produced by bees

[gaunt thunder]

wild

[rose needle]

Many an irl beekeeper has ended up learning this the hard way XD

[gaunt thunder]

that seems like something to put in a larger mod, like one that ups difficulty or edits behaviour of multiple animals

[plucky geode]

Please please please, when it comes to mods add a trans character?

[normal sleet]

I second this

[pseudo holly]

I never play Stardew Valley without these mods and I'd love Coral Island to have something like:
NPC Map Locations - As the name says, it displays all of the NPCs' locations on the map;
Lookup Anything - Press F1 to read in-depth information about any thing in the game. Examples:
F1 on an NPC = likes, dislikes, intimacy, etc
F1 on an item = recipe, price, who likes it, etc
F1 on crops and animals = days to grow/produce, price, season, happiness, breeding, watered, etc

As a player that loves to read games wikis, Lookup Anything is the best tool I've ever used

[brittle crag]

I'd Love an NPC map locations!

[light jungle]

I think a mod for VA would be an amazing add to the game. I'm thinking of putting together a group of content creators to help VA this game in Korean and possibly English. Please feel free to DM me if you'd like to join and help! 🙂

[hearty dune]

I would love to be able to have a mod for being poly. As I'm poly myself, it would be fun to be able to date/romance/marry multiple characters at the same time.

[jagged scarab]

Hello, I just wanted to throw myself out there that if the developers of the game decided to localize Thai as another language later, then I would love to be part of the game. I am fluent in English and Thai. Please don't hesitate to reach out and let me know, thanks ! slacking to be creative with the sentence...

[knotty olive]

Question for the Devs:
Originally there was going to be a hire that exclusively helps with mods. The release indicates:

2x Environmental Concept Artists
2x Animators
1x Programmers
1x Character Sculpt Artist
1x Community Manager
1x Multiplayer Programmer
2x Part Time Writers
1x Multiplayer Engineer Consultant
1x Part Time Lead Editor
1x Look Development Director
But a modding staff member is not listed.

Is this role still planned to join the team? Will they come at a later date?

[fading silo]

Ohhh yes I would be interested in doing a VA mod perhaps... I am only fluent in English however

But if you need more people lmk I love voice acting

[glad garnet]

PLEASE LET US PUT HATS ON SEA URCHINS

[knotty olive]

I would love to be able to mod the music files too with any fan-created music. You listen to some of the fan music that amplifies some of the songs and music in the game over the years and there's just beautiful compositions that come from the passion of the community. I can see the summer theme being reworked in a similar fashion as the Millennial Fair. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b1Ebt4q5ipU

[urban jackal]

Perhaps adding new crops ?
I would love to add Bourbon Pointu coffee into the game as a crop. It grows on little coffee trees/bushes and it's among the most expensive coffees worldwide behind the Luwak coffee

[maiden badge]

ooo that would be nice 😄

[cinder ingot]

Btw, I have never tried modding, but generally how does it work? From I know on Minecraft is when we want to create Datapacks I think we just need to mess around some json files

[boreal swallow]

Some people really liked the extra facial hair from Thursday’s post

[digital sun]

What if your children in coral island go to events with you like if there was a parade your child would go with you to it. Sorry it’s late in my time I know this may sound dum I haven’t slept a while

[knotty olive]

Server Hosting
One thing I really wanted to do was have a host machine for SDV.

Purpose: A perpetual online game that any group of friends can sign into, without need of a host character.

Can you please make it easy to host an online multiplayer server, where a placeholder host client (host, but non-primary-character) can be automated as a non-playable machine that simply runs the game when one of the players choose to login? A host machine would allow players to sign in any time they want and play the game, and no playable character would be the actual host. Friends can sign in when they have free time, and progress without needing a primary player to be online.

possible more divers bodytypes for the player. I just saw the update and the character models look great I just thought it might be cool to have a bit more variants like chubby characters for example. Since there is a very buff version of the male model a buff version of the female model etc.

[brittle storm]

Please have some patience. The body types they revealed are explicitly stated to be the character models for the alpha version of the game and they have said multiple times they will add more body types than this.

And with all this backlash now they also said they will look into adding more body types to the alpha.

[elder knot]

this wasnt meant as critic or anything, I really just didnt see it being talked about before since I dont really have the time to keep up with the game all the time so it was just something that came to mind while mindlessly scrolling over the first update I had looked at in a while. Im sorry if it came across as impatient or demanding, it was just a suggestion.

[queen bluff]

I don't know if this was suggested or not, know that event in almost every farming game where there is a dance. Well, how about making the dance more interactive and add a minigame where you have to press the arrow keys or something to complete a dance. Something similar to Friday Night Funkin'. Just wanted to put the idea out there. I mean if there is going to be an event with a dance.

[abstract sorrel]

How about a hard game mode, where if you don't feed your character, you don't wake up with full energy?

[verbal verge]

Ability to be a merfolk if it is not included in the game 👀

[rigid locust]

just flop around on your land duties - honesly sounds great 👀

[verbal verge]

Sometimes above ground it just too much, I wanna hang with the fish

[jade sandal]

or the mod could be that you farm underwater produce 😮

[placid tartan]

What about deep sea diving? Imagine being able to see bioluminescent fish or giant squids, that would be amazing!

[errant laurel]

Have people take off their shoes inside homes and wear slippers or socks? 👟➡️🩴🏘️
I feel uncomfortable seeing people wearing their shoes on the sofa or bed. 😬

[high blade]

I've been told by @rigid locust that I must make this suggestion. Wilhelm scream whenever a button is clicked in the character creator

[rigid locust]

what reaction do you wanna see as a yes today? or 👍 ?

[rigid locust]

for @jolly mirage if we dont have (chocolate covered) gherkins: let us make them

[neat jackal]

add mods where alien abducted you or other npc

[bold creek]

[Quiet whisper] siphonophores

[wet vigil]

[Quiet humming]Giant Tube Monsters Hell Yeah

[neat jackal]

IMPORTANT MODS
Please add max player capacity from 4 to 8 if you can. thx

[muted mural]

I was thinking maybe a jewelry mod? i can craft it with iron or gold as the base and a diamond, ruby, emerald etc, from the mines for the gem, I don't know if the mines will have gems but I am assuming they do. We could of course wear this Jewelry, give it as a gift, or even a engagement gift.

Co-op crafting, Like exclusive cosmetic items that can only be made by working together.

[neat jackal]

mods where's there will be an earthquake or maybe full moon 🌕, so all the villager will come outside to see the full moon.

[cobalt fjord]

A mod where is you love a chicken everyday for long enough it will become a Chimking

[faint edge]

Stephen mayor outfit, or just give all the pets/animals in the game outfits

[split rover]

Giving your partner outfits and then they wear them

[gray crest]

shark pet that flys/hovers

[neat jackal]

How about mods, where there's a DJ in this game.

[tight niche]

Will there be seasons??

[mellow reef]

Yes there will be, based on seasonal outfits there should be the usual 4 - spring, summer, fall, winter. This channel is for making suggestions for mods in the game, just a heads up 🙂

[tight niche]

ohhh ok cool cool

mods, you say?😏😏

[lucid plinth]

Will there be a chance for the player character to participate in hobbies? Example: playing music, crafting furniture, painting, crafting farm equipment, etc. IDK if someone has already asked this but I think it would be fun

[sly heron]

This is probably better for #coral-questions-and-help, so I can answer you over there if you like!

[fringe girder]

Frog bucket hat

[neat jackal]

Player can have twins babies

[neat junco]

ooooh mods for the game, definitely speeding up pregnancy?

[willow moon]

will there be mounts? 🙂

[queen trout]

No confirmation of it yet, but there will be Pets (Normal & Mythical) on full release! ^^

[willow moon]

Thank you for the fast response! :3

[zealous sable]

A pink/cute mod, that makes your farm pink/white and cute and allows the coops and other buildings to be similar! ♥

[fallow flame]

Would like the option for 3rd person view as well

[sinful osprey]

coughpolyamorousmodcough

[fiery loom]

👀

[plain basin]

SDV has a mod that if you’re standing still or resting, that energy will slowly be recovered. This would be great for coral island too!

[wide linden]

Gentle reminder that while mod suggestions are still fine to post here, please do not post any information regarding the current alpha gameplay, as this is an NDA violation!

[sinful tusk]

I tried to scroll back and see if the idea I had was suggested but I don't think it was yet, so...
Since the Devs are embracing PoC so well, I think adding a DLC (or mod) with traditional hair styles and clothing would be lovely. It would be nice to see a character in an Ao Dai or Hanbok.

[sly heron]

Hey Mall-O, we'd appreciate if you edited the last portion regarding gameplay elements out, and maybe put it in #✍alpha-feedback-suggestion instead, if you're playing the alpha! You can access it by redeeming your role code via the instructions in #❓coral-faq

[sinful tusk]

Will do!

[sly heron]

Thank you!

[mellow reef]

Please leave this in #✍alpha-feedback-suggestion, try not to talk about the game outside of our alpha channels 🙏 Thank you!

[low venture]

I didn’t know modding would be here lol, I look forward to seeing modded player outfits and hairstyles from the community!

[tawny steppe]

yeah so.... polyamory 😛 hahaha I know the queer community would love it

oh i see it's been requested a couple of times... unregards!

[distant burrow]

I’d love to see a mod where after we get married to our chosen NPC we can cause the other datable NPCs to marry each other so they get their own romance ^^
Something like a dialogue option that goes “hey ____ was asking about you” and we can pair them up lol

[willow frigate]

A transparent map overlay would be great. Like, just a toggle on and off, so you can see a vague top down view of your farm to help arrange it/decide what you want where. Or help find your way in town since I keep getting lost XD

[loud rock]

to add to that idea, several styles of maps possibly? (i believe with some games you can toggle between which style of the map you would like, including the options to turn off the map)

[rocky olive]

Every other animal in the game looks somewhat realistic except for cows. They have a huge head, I know it's for the cute factor but I really don't like it. Would it be possible to have a more realistic cow model by modding I wonder?

[pseudo wind]

Mythical Underwater creature

[young wharf]

I don't know if anyone has mentioned this, if so, apologies

Automate.
It would be nice to be able to place things in chests/makers that would go in or out of chests into things that turn them into products.

[placid tartan]

A mod that allows for more camera movement might be nice for screenshots!

[sage crest]

Npc/player idle animation squatting if theyre just standing around

[prisma belfry]

A mod for making custom designed outfits, something like in animal crossing

[unique oxide]

This game is pretty fun so far, although i do miss facial hair for my character..

[sinful osprey]

Mod for dangerous animals as pets, like lion, croc, snake, wolf, etc. While at it, maybe a mod so we can have lots of pets

[glad matrix]

custom portrait, custom furniture, custom NPC added by modder itself, maybe custom hairstyle, clothes,etc, pets mod ( added by modder itself )

my modding suggestion, sorry if its annoy you haha -_-

[solemn apex]

I like mermaids, so it would be great if there was an option to possibly explore the mermaids' world a bit more!

Basically, if you're not so interested in the mermaids then you can skip it, but if you were, then you could pursue it further!

[alpine wraith]

Mod for making animals and produce less cute and more realistic, example harvest moon a wonderful life

[wide linden]

Mod to replace the Giants with creepy Furbies, with all the sounds and the blinking one eye at a time at erratic rates.

[placid tartan]

Hh cursed, lemme one up this with this: replace the giants with the crewmates from among us-

[prisma belfry]

They open their mouths like an impostor to collect the harvest

[errant laurel]

I know this is too early to suggest a story mod but...
what if we could have a **secret bad ending **that revolves around

• over harvesting resources
• not befriending any of the townies
• not progressing the storyline for years.
  Then, hear me out here...the twist end would then be that Ben would be revealed as an otherworldly guardian of the island (maybe appointed by the Flower Goddess) who then ends your farmer's life---er game with a poisonous mushroom/tea 🍵 🍄 🔚

(This suggestion is based off @prisma belfry's idea 🙏 )

[prisma belfry]

death by tea party but an idea to expand on the mushroom tea thing is.... maybe he'd invite you over for tea as an unavoidable "heart" event, where he confronts you about your actions and the consequences of said actions. He'd talk about how much potential your arrival had for the future of the island, and how much you've let him down. Then, the tea takes its effect and your farmer starts to sway. He'll shake his head and say, "Maybe you shouldn't have come here." and walks away as your farmer falls over. The game ends there.

Maybe I'm getting too invested in this, hahaha

[errant laurel]

How the game ends would be intentionally vague. The farmer could just be falling over in disappointment and in deep reflection. Keeping it PG. 🙏

[last cave]

Sooo, since the game seems to be quite focused on romance and friendships and stuff, could we have a mod that would allow us to inject art pieces into the game? Kinda like romance visual novels/otome games, where instead of just being shown the character sprites then there would a custom art piece enacting the scene ☺️

[shell flicker]

idk if it's been suggested already, but I'd really like to see a mod that expands the game beyond Coral Island. since island hopping is a feature coming after the full release of the game, maybe adding a whole new island to explore with it's own resources, story line, npcs, etc. I really like when farm sims get huge expansion mods that add those things (like SVE or RSV for stardew!). Maybe also give the player opportunities to take romanceable npcs on dates/vacations to this island/other islands besides the main island.

[stuck kettle]

Make the skill tree an actual in game tree that grows or has fruits. Or make a shrine where you ask for new skills.
Having the skill tree in the menu is a little bit plane

[glad matrix]

i'd like to suggest some weird mod.. 3rd person camera when walking, chilling ,talking and killing people/monster ETC. But change to top down camera when farming.

[devout geode]

as for custom portrait, mod to make the white characters not white a la stardew’s diversity mod 🤠

[soft garnet]

I feel like coral island is already very diverse compared to stardew 🤔

[devout geode]

oh for sure i just really liked how the sdv diversity mod had practically no white ppl 😩

[fossil gazelle]

Custom pet designer (for drawing fur patterns)

everyone could have their own little bebi in the game

[tepid ember]

Suggesion- Sliders for character creator. I wanna be able to fully customize every aspect of my character's body

[knotty olive]

Unicorn Mod --
That horse needs a horn and a rainbow mane.

[errant oasis]

Don’t click on this

[rotund cliff]

Thanks for reporting

And please don't click any sus links 🙏

[lament panther]

Suggestion: a modding tools with openness like skyrim creation kit so community can mod the heck out of the game 😁

[rocky olive]

Building on the suggestions of different trades, an entire branch of the skill tree for "Professions", where you can increase your skill in blacksmithing, jewellery making, woodworking, etc., which then affect the quality of crafted goods.

Higher quality items would give a bigger bonus when gifted or submitted for quests (if quests are something in this game, if not I love a good side quest line haha)

I don't have Alpha, so I dunno what's included, so my apologies if I ever suggest something that's already implemented.

[crisp topaz]

If not sliders, at least various body type options to help build a custom player character
