Custom hay drop

🎯 **Make hay drops truly randomized! **

Original question

The chance of hay being dropped in the original game was not truly random, causing some players to never seem to get hay. 😫

Solution

This mod makes the hay drop chance truly random for each mowing action! ✨

  • **DEFAULT**: Regular scythes have a real 50% chance of getting hay
  • **Golden Sickle**: Has a real 75% chance of getting hay

Custom configuration

You can customize these odds via a config file or in-game using the **Universal Mod Config Menu**! ⚙️

Technical requirements

  • Requires installation of **SMAPI**
  • Supports the **Universal Module Configuration Menu** interface, which allows you to change configuration settings in the game
  • Compatible with **Mod Updater**, supports automatic updates

Developer information

  • Source code is on GitHub
  • Get support and testing help on the Discord server
  • View a list of all Stardew Valley mods by the author

💫 **Enjoy a truly random hay drop experience! **

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.
