Any mods people like for co-op games?

Dunno if it's just downtime between play sessions that's getting my brain going "I should seek out more mods" but I just got a few basics to start - Automate, Look Up Anything and UI Info Suite and don't know if I -need- more, but tempted to seek out more QoL stuff.

A friend wanted a fishing overhaul (Teh's) but it seems not to be updated for 1.6 yet. Most other fishing mods mostly "make it easier" which my friend is less interested in. (Though there are some things I'm tempted to grab them for cause I remember some of the completionism thingys with fishing getting a bit annoying)

Sort of tempted to get something for time management, but it feels like such a fickle thing for "balance." Though, there's definitely some jank with co-op like time running during cutscenes so half the day was gone by the time I finished visiting the wizard, and, some way to force a pause if someone needs to step away might be nice.

Fucks sake I think ny pigs are glitching or I hosed up. I have three max heart pigs on the meadowfarm. I am getting days of 0 truffles found. And most days I get, if lucky, between 2-3.

I think I may have run into a glitch - I turned in an ancient seed at the Museum but didn't get the ancient seed recipe.

Did this happen to anyone else? Am I just forgetting where it's located?

Check Collect Rewards if you haven't. I forget if it's there or pushed into your inventory (which has more scope for weird reactions.)

Check if you have the recipe for Ancient Fruit Seeds, if you do then at least you aren't mega-screwed.

Truffles seem to be highly variable. You can pen your barn in tightly to ensure you're not missing any but even then there would be days I'd get 0-2 truffles from my duo of pigs. I ended up selling them off to fit a couple more goats, slightly less max profit but way less hassle. And with golden animal crackers making them give double milk it's even less of a deficit.

I should make a little write-up of my mods but to get you started, here's WAIT, which helps with the flow of time in co-op.

https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/20661

Settings:



When it comes to balance, just don't actively try to use it to cheat. Otherwise, who cares if it's 2:30 for a little bit of extra time while someone is fiddling with a menu. Though, ideally, better with two people. With a lot of people, I'd only have it pause during cutscenes.

Here's my wife and I's list fwiw. Apparently there's a fan made fix for 1.6 for the Teh's mod in it's Nexusmods comments, might be worth checking out?

Not that I’m aware of: the experience required to go from level 9 to 10 is 200 points more than what you need to get to seven so there’s some good retry dramatic jumps in what’s needed though

I wish you could move the cave location. Today I suddenly remembered I got it unlocked prob over an in-game week ago and deadass forgot because of where it's located on the meadow farm, down in an area I haven't even touched in summer year 1 yet :mad:

Looks great! I'm just surprised you have any green grass left, I've eradicated it on my farm and now I have as much grass as you, but all blue. Which not only gives more hearts when animals eat them, it also has a higher chance to yield hay.

I'm playing co-op with my wife and she's playing for the first time. She picked the beach farm, which is fine, but man oh man, I wanted meadowlands. I have that in my new single player restart, but I wanted it there, too. Ah well.

Is there a way to upgrade the refrigerators that you can craft like you can go from chest to large chest? I like to have them sorted by season, plus a forage and livestock one and especially as I am starting to get iridium quality crops, different size and quality eggs, they are just filling up. I guess I could just use large chests for them instead of refrigerators but ~*~MY IMMERSION~*~

There are blue grass starting packs, but according to the wiki they're hidden behind some Qi shenanigans, which is a shame.

I’ve never been able to do the community center in year 1. Money is the bottleneck for me (aside from, you know, red cabbage). All those barn and coop upgrades!

So I’m gonna follow a guide! A no mods, no bugs one, because I’m on switch. A day by day one, to get all the monies as fast as possible! … But I had a rainy day which I’m supposed to spend fishing for catfish, so I got behind. And now I’m on spring 15 and uh sorry guide, I am not on track to unlock mine carts at the end of the day today (lol) and I don’t have the golden pickaxe yet. Whelp!

Honestly, it only takes two largemouth bass to equal the price of a catfish, and largemouth bass are easier to catch, and therefore easier to get higher quality on…

I was looking up some info about the smokers and dehydrators you get early for starting on the river farm or picking mushrooms for your cave. I saw someone go on about how caskets were their early game thing because if you know what you're doing you can unlock them in the first week of spring.

I think those guides require you to restart days until you get everything just right and restart games entirely if you get unlucky days on the first few days the mine is open.

Which, sure I understand that there are people willing to do this, but it's so far off how I play video games I just shake my head and go back to finding the perfect flower for Haley.

It bothers me more than it should that the dehydrator requires just over one day to complete its thing, so I can’t check at the same time each day. But checking every other day dramatically slashes how frequently I get dried fruit out of it. Darn it, ConcernedApe, make the duration 1590 minutes, not 1750!

Seriously! It was kind of funny to read and realize that, because the days are literally step by step, and then suddenly you need to have foraged enough and saved enough minerals for this bundle, that bundle.

It rained on day 5, which is a crucial day because you're supposed to mine enough to smelt 5 copper bars and make it to clint's before he closes to upgrade the pickaxe. It says it's okay if you don't make it, and it even challenges you to not reset days and go with the flow, but the more you have to push back stuff the further 'off' you get from their itinerary. I mean, my whole point is the community center, so I was only ever going to follow it to a certain degree, but it was still a bit of a shock, like, "wait, I'm supposed to have the farm cave by now?"

I will analyze your nervous system for beer money
I did a min/max game that was fun in terms of the results (selling iridium bars for profit before end of Spring 1, to start an insane Starfruit crop on start of Summer 1), but required so much fishing that I got tired of fishing. If I were to min/max start again, I’d just use the CJB cheat to instacatch fish.

Been real fun playing co-op with my friend because we both realized that I always prioritized farming upgrades and leveling to make more money and left fishing/combat till I had everything else done and he always did the bare minimum in the farm to support his fishing and cave diving. So we both naturally started doing what the other guy wasn't doing, pretty funny.
