🎯 Main functions

  • **Stone** (Rock)

  • **Fish pond output** (random item multiplier or forced to produce only fish roe and daily generation)

✅ **Compatible with General Module Configuration Menu (GMCM)** for easy in-game customization

✅ **Works seamlessly with mining and logging mechanics**

🎮 How to use

📝 **Recommended configuration method:**

  • Install **General Module Configuration Menu (GMCM)** for the best configuration experience
  • Open the GMCM menu in the game to adjust the drop rate
  • Set the desired multiplier for each resource type
  • Save settings and enjoy a customized resource gathering experience!

💻 **Alternative method:**

You can also manually edit the **config.json** file in the mod folder

⚠️ **Note:** When first installed, the module defaults to the base 1.0 multiplier

🔧 Installation Guide

  • Install SMAPI (required)
  • Download the module and extract it to the **Mods** folder
  • Launch the game and customize settings in GMCM!

⚠️ Compatibility Notes

❌ May conflict with mods that completely redo the drop mechanism

❌ May not be compatible with mods that add new resource nodes

🐛 Known issues

  • **Cannot reduce drop rate with settings lower than 1.0** (due to the game's own drop logic limitations)

💡 Feature Request

If there's a resource type you think would be suitable to add to this mod, please make a request in the comments section and I might consider it for inclusion in the mod!

❤️ Original intention of creation

As a veteran who's played Stardew Valley on and off for years, I love the game, but resource gathering - especially **wood and stone**—can feel tedious at times.

When I want to make my farm look prettier with **paths, fences, and decorations**, I often find myself lacking basic materials. Initially I was looking for a mod that could adjust the drop rate, but couldn't find one that fully met my needs, so I decided to make my own!

As I learned more about the development of the Stardew Valley mod, I discovered that I could also adjust the **ore drop rate**! While I personally don't need this option, I feel it would be better to provide this option to other players.

To make the mod user-friendly, I integrated the **General Mod Configuration Menu (GMCM)** so players can fine-tune resource drop rates as they wish.

I hope this mod is as useful to you all as it is to me!

Install & use Install: SMAPI mod (Stardew Valley standard)

  1. Install SMAPI first (Stardew Valley's mod loader): download it from smapi.io, run 'install on Windows.bat' and pick your game folder.
  2. Unzip the archive from playbuff and find the folder that contains manifest.json — that folder is the mod.
  3. Copy that whole folder into Stardew Valley/Mods/.
  4. 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.
