location tuner

Allows customization of various environmental settings for outdoor gaming locations.

Location Tuner

🎮 **Adjust every corner of Stardew Valley to your liking! **

This mod was originally created to provide an environment settings GUI for the farming extension in another mod of mine, Stardew Realty. After testing, it was found that this GUI can adjust the settings of any outdoor gaming location! Each location can set independent parameter values.
