Aquarism - Fish pond overhaul
🎣 **A mechanical remake module that makes fish ponds truly a viable source of income and significantly improves the game experience! **
Main functions
- **✨ Lasting quality**
- Fish ponds will retain the quality of the fish they put in
- New fry will randomly inherit the qualities of their parents
- When fishing from fish ponds always remove the lowest quality fish first
- **📦 Expanded item production**
- The fish pond will try to produce all possible items in the fish drop table
- Possibility to produce many different items every day
- Items are stored in the 10-slot inventory of the bait bucket, sorted by value
- **🐟 Expandable fish roe production**
- Caviar production is inversely proportional to fish value: the higher the value, the lower the chance of producing roe.
- Check the probability of seed production for each fish every day, and the production will increase as the size of the fish group increases.
- Sturgeons have special conditions to obtain extra roe, squids produce ink, and corals produce algae.
- **🌿 Naturally growing algae**
- After being left vacant for 3 days, the fish pond will randomly start to grow algae or seaweed.
- New algae is generated every 2 days and added to the bait bucket according to the number of fish schools every day
- Seagrass, green algae and white algae can grow at the same time in the same fish pond
- **☢️ Radioactive Enrichment**
- Fish ponds containing radioactive or mutated fish can enrich ores
- Converts normal ore into radioactive ore after a few days
- Enrichment time varies with ore value and fish population
- **👨👩👧👦 Family Sharing**
- Compatible with the Fish Farming Expert profession from the "Path of Life" module
- Legendary fish can be raised in the same fish pond with extended family members
- After installing the "More New Fish" module, Tui and La can be paired as a family
Compatibility Notes
- ✅ Compatible with content patch modules that visually modify fish ponds or edit fish pond data
- ❌ Not compatible with the "Legendary Fish Pond" module
🌟 **Usage Suggestions**: This module is especially suitable for players who like farming gameplay, turning fish ponds from simple decorations into real economic sources and interesting game mechanics!
Install & use Install: SMAPI mod (Stardew Valley standard)
- Install SMAPI first (Stardew Valley's mod loader): download it from smapi.io, run 'install on Windows.bat' and pick your game folder.
- Unzip the archive from playbuff and find the folder that contains manifest.json — that folder is the mod.
- Copy that whole folder into Stardew Valley/Mods/.
- Launch the game through SMAPI (run StardewModdingAPI.exe or set it as the launch option). The console before the title screen lists each mod's load result.
Cheat-style tools may not need SMAPI — unzip and run them as the readme describes. Back up your save before editing it; SMAPI lists failed mods in its console.
