🔄 Compatibility

Metalcore turns pastoral style and is fully compatible with expansion modules such as Stardew Valley Expansion Edition, Ridgeside Village, etc.

🚀 Future updates

Compatibility is an ongoing project. Currently Cambria provides dialogue for some custom events and specific expansion packs.

Short-term updates will add more conversation topics and more conversations that have a chance to trigger if certain mods are installed.

In addition to more compatibility content, there are plans to add more crops and NPCs to expand not only Cambria's story, but Orchid's story as well.
