Add Berry Seasons to Calendar - Name says it all, it's nice to be able to see what times of the month to go forsging

Automate - A new one for me, This is Freaking Awesome. Machines/processing equipment/furnace/etc. will pull the needed resources from an adjacent chest, and puts the final product back in before starting the next. What a godsend

Better Ranching - adds icons above animals heads if they need to be pet or their resource harvested, very nice mod!

Content Patcher - needed for any swaps of in game artwork, only needed if a mod is dependent on it

Convenient Inventory - adds a button to your inventory to automatically deposit and sort our items to nearby chests, *very* handy

DCBurger's High Res Portrait Mod(seems to be broken? ) I like the style but it doesn't seem to be working eo can be loaded via portraiture mod but lacks winter outfits

Dynamic Reflections - very pretty, adds reflection of the farmer in water, adds puddles during rain and the days after that also reflect water, and reflects the starry sky on clear days late at night. A bit wonky in split screen co-op though

Farmer Helper - adds a warning before sleep if you've still got plants to water/pick, or animals to pet/feed/milk.. also seems broken definitely broken

Generic Mod Config Menu - let's you adjust compatible mod settings without digging into config files with text editors out of game.

Hueless Haven - Desaturated Map Recolour - just chose it until EarthyRecolour is updated, it massively tones down the yellow hue in everything, in particular the dirt. Way easier on the eyes

Lookup Anything - press F1 in game while looking at something/holding it/etc, will give you all the details on it in a little pop up window. Beats alt tabbing out of the game to look stuff up

NPC Map Locations - makes the villager icons in the map actually accurately track the character, makes it much easier to track them down

Visible Fish - I used to use Teh's Fishing Overhaul to add a UI element that told you the types of fish and their catch percentage that are in the area you're currently in, but it's not been updated so I switched to Visible Fish, you can see the different available types of fish in the water when you walk by.

Zebrafinches - adds another cute animal for your coop. My wife demanded it when we were scrolling the lists of mods on Nexusmods

Zoom Level - adds hotkeys to controllers to zoom in the play area and the UI elements, and expands the minimum and maximum zoom level. Very helpful for split screen co-op and play at high resolutions

One I don't use but you might want: CJB Cheat menu, let's you adjust your walking speed, amongst a couple dozen other cheats and if that's appealing to you then go for it!

Mod chat related: The SMAPI site tracks 1.6 compatibility for a lot of the mods out there https://smapi.io/mods, so you don't have to trawl through Nexus comments and guess if a mod is actually broken or commenters are just confused

I'm probably just installing some quality of life mods and SVE so I can chill with Claire and Andy. It was fun installing a bunch of town mods last time around but honestly it was too many people/festivals/areas to keep track of and now there's a bunch of new stuff in the core game to discover!!

Oh SVE is updated for 1.6? I hadn't thought to check yet.

We've been slowly adding in mods as we go along, starting with Automate, Look Up anything, and comfort mods such as that. What's everyone's favorite mod to make fishing not suck? The visible fish one looked good. Anything that makes it less miserable would be great.

Hit farming 10 and I forgot how much of a non choice it is for your skill there. Especially with all the extra artisanal goods that's been added.

Visible Fish is just a cosmetic mod; it doesn't affect the actual fishing at all, it just shows sprites of all the fish that can currently be caught in each body of water. If you've memorised the various fish appearances then I guess it makes it slightly easier to see if a particular fish can be caught at the current time in a particular location without having to look it up on the wiki, but it has no effect on actually catching fish or on the fishing minigame. It's still a cool mod, but if you're looking for something that changes the fishing experience itself, you'd need to look elsewhere (and I'm afraid I haven't tried any myself, as I actually like the fishing minigame... ).

E: it's not been updated in two years though, so I doubt we'll see it reworked for 1.6

Okay, it’s been way too long since I last played.

Does grass normally survive into Winter? Or is that just a Meadow Farm bonus?

Fishing and combat are the two worst skills to level up unless you have automate in which case fishing becomes the easiest since you can level it up passively

Interacting with your baby tosses it up in the air and makes it happier. I assume it can make it EXTRA happy on a crit?

TurnipFritter posted:

Luckily they added two new festivals that amount to "sit around for two days straight to level up fishing"
And I guess also The Books, if you've got the cash.



I like the new reactive text where the characters comment on things you've done. Also because there's an actual reason to check the Help Wanted board, I've been seeing a lot of messages I've never seen before, like Sebastian wanted a vegetable so he can throw it as hard as he can against the mountainside or Elliot wanting to rub something on his gums.

How do I get Lookup Anything to use the context sensitive mode without a mouse cursor? I’m playing on a Steam Deck and bound a button to F1 but it just pops up a cursor on screen

The skull cavern seems to drop a lot more iridium at the lower levels. Granted, my first real run in there was on a good luck day, but the iridium nodes started showing up every 2-4 levels starting on floor 2. Purple slimes were dropping iridium every 2-3 enemies. Other thing I noticed is I was getting dinosaur spawns every 3-5 floors too. It’s very nice. I got like 25 iridium and I only made it to fooor 25.
