🎯 Module Introduction

Stardew Valley Balance Overhaul is a massive balance remaster mod originally created by Theoddon that aims to make every aspect of the game feel equally rewarding while increasing game longevity by reducing the chances of making a lot of money in a short period of time.

🎮 Core Features

• **Economic Balance**: Crop and animal profits are closer, with more benefits in the early stages and less benefits in the later stages
• **Handmade products optimization**: There is a chance to increase the output quantity when using high-quality raw materials
• **Large animal products**: 2 products are produced after processing, and the quality can be expanded
• **Aging Time Adjustment**: The barrel aging time can be adjusted according to price changes
• **Fish Price Reform**: Pricing based on catching difficulty, flatter profit curve
• **Food Buffs**: Most foods add buffs with extended duration
• **Machine Crafting Difficulty**: Handmade machines are more difficult to craft to balance the mid to late game

⚔️ Combat system

Like a challenge? The mod offers a variety of options to make monsters even deadlier! Or you can turn off this feature and fight the way you're used to.

🔧 Highly configurable

All changes to the mod can be turned off in the configuration, and some features have multiple setting options to suit different play styles.
