I always thought a cool mod would be to revamp all the classic farms because I always feel like they’re not SPECIALIZED enough, like the forest farm is slightly worse at being a farm with the added benefit of regrowable stumps and some seasonal forage, what if instead it barely even had tillable land but had a massive forest of magogany trees, unique forage that sells for a lot, naturally occurring fruit trees, ect, what if the hilltop farm had a quarry that took up HALF THE FARM and had the potential to be filled to the brim with iridium and gold ore, what if the river land had river, lake, AND ocean spots and had the potential to collect rare fish that shouldn’t spawn on the farm like lava eels or fish that are entirely out of season, theres so much potential for hard core specialization and making the absolute most out of one specific skill

[@chaotic_Warlock]

i need this

[@hartleybowman4863]

If you look up mods for the map, you can find lots of variations on the farm layout!! Not exactly what you are describing but can be a great way to spice up your gameplay

[@slightlyoffensivedadjokes]

man, I love those ideas. forest farm has always been my favorite, but I've always been kind of annoyed that they give me so much tillable when I really want my farm to be almost entirely forest. I want the layouts to be extreme and give wildly different experiences

[@ramzikhalaf5860]

I was on nexus and found 100s of forest farm maps. Some very pretty ones I can’t wait to try

[@trequor]

Well then those wouldnt really be farms anymore

[@Diddlyy]

5:29 actually if you look closely one of the fibers and herrings DID double, so that profession does actually work with the cat cave!

[@salmence100]

Wow I watched that clip like 3 times to make sure I wasn't missing anything, and I still missed that lol

[@farmerash]

@Robyn Sparkle Up Cat cave. Literally the entire point of the mod is to offer a chance to replace the cave where bats screech and give fruits with a cave where cats meow and bring you different items.

[@stars_10]

​@@salmence100 bro you know mod that can make us marry more than one woman?

[@scruggaluggs]

@@salmence100 fiber doubled too lol

[@denjidenji9162]

@@stars_10 look up the free love mod

[@mid-game7460]

One mod that helped me a ton with combat was Combat Controls Redux. It does a few different things, but the biggest one for me was it turns your character in the direction of your mouse click, meaning you don't have to use wasd to look towards whatever you are attacking before clicking. Auto-swing is nice too if you are lazy and just want to hold attack

[@naireiben]

13:43 Willy was Cockle-blocking you.

[@jeffreyblack666]

If I recall correctly, giant crops have a 100% chance to drop a journal scrap or secret note (assuming you have one left to find and can get it) with scraps on the island and notes on the normal farm.

[@levipeterken4020]

I've always thought it would be cool if you did a video on every missable item/thing in the game for the absolutely insane people like me who want absolutely everything on one save, or as close to that as possible. Keep up the absolutely quality content!

[@I.No.]

I’m 99% sure there are no missing items, besides then3 different options for Pennys 14 heart event.

[@salmence100]

Actually, I believe the only genuinely missable items would be the Stardew Valley Cup, and the Joja vending machine. Even the Penny items can be gotten with multiple players

[@I.No.]

@@salmence100 Oh, didn’t think about that!

[@dhruvmitna8465]

​@@salmence100you can permanently lose the gold Lewis statue if you place it in someone's path and you don't even get the money from Lewis. The statue doesn't respawn after that and you can't get it with item IDs

[@castorian2649]

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@davidci]

The randomized crop pricing sounds awful when you have to plant a rare seed like Sweet Gem Berry, only for it to return less than half what it used to be 💀

[@Lemony123]

I agree. It just make RNG.

[@salmence100]

I see it more as a difficulty mod, not being able to just use the wiki for all the best crops

[@slwrabbits]

Does it constantly randomize everything every day, or just randomize once for the entire save?

[@PsychTricks]

@@slwrabbits I wondered the same thing. Everything every day seems awful, but once at the beginning of the save? Now you have to go in and learn just like your character (who worked in a cubicle their whole adult life) would have to.

[@MalekitGJ]

​@@slwrabbits i hope its daily. Gotta play the stock market baby!

[@KylerGreer]

"More Giant Crops" is awesome when paired with the "Tap Giant Crops" mod. I like to set up a little area to collect all of them, and with tree tappers it can be a display that's also functional.

[@mossymindful]

Fantastic idea, thanks for sharing!!

[@mercey2425]

The prismatic shard animation reminds me of the old resident evil and silent hill item pickup animations

[@mertensiam3384]

My favorite mod for professions is just the Modular Gameplay Overhaul I don't think i can play the game without it anymore, it's such a game changer!

[@aradiamegido0u0]

Margo is so good. And if you don't like something you can just turn it off. It's so great.

[@mertensiam3384]

@@aradiamegido0u0 i KNOW, it's so good and so customizable

[@Y_Llew_Tew]

The “Crop Transplant Mod” lets you move all crops around, not just trees, including those in your greenhouse.

[@mariairina6143]

Along the lines of the cat cave, there's a mod, Cat Gifts, where the cat brings you a gift to your doorstep depending on the friendship level. It's not perfectly optimised, but I think with some tweaking it could actually be really nice

[@ClassyChassiss]

Getting back into SDV has been a treat because the game still has an active and informative youtube presence! I really like some of the mods, thank you for making such wonderful and helpful videos!

[@g42_16]

“fish up an artichoke” 💀 11:22

[@sharksona]

I love everyone casually ignoring 11:20 where you mention the possibility of “fishing up an artichoke” XD

[@AceKimiChan]

I like Teh's Fishing Overhaul, it lets you chain perfect catches to increase the quality of the fish and the possibility of treasure.

[@ateana_lenn]

THANK YOU! Mods videos are so often repetitive stuff (for ex Automate, like searching Nexus by most download wouldn't pop that one out in five seconds). It's so nice to discover new fun mods, even if they aren't game breaking. I loved this video, got a few of the mods for myself, I can't wait to try them out tomorrow

[@2shy2guy52]

The animated mining pack is my second favorite that I have installed, first is the ui one that tells you when the traveling cart is there and what your luck is and when you level up etc. strongly recommend those two at least, and also animated fish

[@evansgardens]

I love when you make mod showcase videos bc I have a hard time finding mods that I enjoy!

[@Amal.nabelsi]

stardew, more like i cant dew it anymore....

[@anderrated4626]

You mean game, or in general, cant do live🥲🔫

[@dazattack669]

same. hopefully it gets better

[@Camothor10]

Its seriously getting harder and harder might just quit

[@renoftheshadows]

These are some really dope mods! Definitely gonna be adding some to my game!

[@visionsofjanuary798]

Oooh, I love the animated mining one! Definitely going to install it! Thank you for sharing these mods!

[@fishpie5431]

Very cool video as usual.Thanks for your content!

[@Iosis4818]

Recently I started my first modded playthrough and already got 8 or 9 there. And there are so much more,I ´ m gonna use next time. Thanks for inspiration ✌️

[@Blue6Phoenix]

Great video I think I'll install the water bomb mod after this keep up the great content 👍

[@larcek.giglamesh]

as for farming or foraging, i really like the Harvest Anything With Scythe Mod, saving just a little more time when harvesting anything.

[@Masteredge3]

Love to see you cover MARGO a very modular overhaul to skills and levels

[@starshapedwings3582]

OH LETS GO! I always love your mod showcase videos Edit: something I noticed on my steam deck with the tree transplant mod is that I can't only use the tough screen to move the trees and even then it's really janky to the point that I couldn't use the mod.

[@turtle10141]

Perfectly timed upload for waiting in the dining hall lunch lines ❤❤

[@wisteria_mov74]

I got into this game about a month ago and have 150 hours, your channel has been a LIFESAVER for me

[@Jman37X]

Just discovered you recently and absolutely LOVE your Stardew content, started playing this game with my fiancé and learning about all the new stuff that's been added since I last played and your videos have been a huge help in rediscovering my love for this game :) keep up the amazing work!!

[@SlenderWolf109]

Thanks to you, I was already at 107 mods. Guess it's time to add more to the pile...

[@xxselenaxx2142]

Yay, epic video. I have some buy not all of these. I plan on adding a few of these.

[@Luigicat11]

The Cropbeasts mod is a fun one if you want to mix the Farming and Combat skills. It's even customizable, if you want to add crops to the bestiary.

[@banana_jag8325]

Blade creating anxiety for us all 🤣

[@salmence100]

If anyone could find a way to make farming stressful, it's him lol

[@boltcore._.]

Genuenly Love your channel! New here and kinda new to stardew as well. Love the game so much

[@ImmaSpam__________________Can]

13:32 you should be able to configure the fishing net as a custom tool for Fish UI in the mod configuration menu

[@Takapon218]

The tree transplant and Crystal fruit tree specifically... I'm frothing at the mouth

[@danielthompson392]

Honestly all of the foragable trees got me like that. I'm tripping over Blackberries and Common Mushrooms, but Hazelnuts just seem nonexistent before Fall 7 or 14

[@taekonaut]

TRANSPLANT TREEEEE ! so glad you brought this to my attention

[@klmark3301]

Definitely adding some of these to my game!

[@YourPalRal]

If I ever get into Stardew I'll definitely have to give some of these mods a try!

[@outsanely]

Oh, some of these look great! I'm going to have to try out some of them! Also- do you have any recommendations for a single mod with more crops? That's one thing I always want to try out, but the only ones I've found are part of much larger mod packs.

[@lordsnom5287]

I love the fishing overlay mod i use it to help go for perfection so i can see what fish i can catch and what fish i have on the hook

[@silverpumpkin1529]

These are all neat!

[@leventemucsi9547]

The fruit tree mod is lowkey crazy cause if you combine it with the Fruit Bat Cave, you can essentially craft Fall Foraging seeds the entire year for Tea Saplings.

[@TechnoLadz]

Actually the last fish (5:46) did double.

[@Bearlizard_03]

When is the farming fishing mining combat series coming back i loved it

[@christopher6547]

I wonder, does the tree transplant mod keep the age of the tree? 🤔 Great collection, thank you.

[@eliandervalderen5849]

Yeah I would definitely get the mod for growing coconuts and golden coconuts don't really need the golden coconuts too much but the Coconuts yeah and Transplant tree sounds as good as well. And that's only the first six mods that you were talking

[@MrDannyloco]

Love the runescape music in the fishing section

[@TimeLady8]

Moving trees is SOOOO useful!

[@lagnir5992]

Dynamic Crops is an interesting idea, but I think it would better is the crops price would have small fluxuations at random, but what crops you sell and how many would cause big changes to the crop's sell price. For instance, if you sold 50 strawberries their sell price would decrease. However if you hadn't sold parsnips in a good while their price would climb. This would encourage growing several kinds of crops. This effect would probably need to persist across a year or more to be really noticable. There would also need to be some indication of the sell price of a crop before you actually sell it. The only game I've played with this type of system is Slime Rancher, but I think it adds a lot to the gameplay loop as you can't just farm for the meta material(s).

[@Onlyalyssa01]

You should do a video on all the secret finds from fishing and stuff! Like the squirrel statue and the paintings and what not

[@Nick-qq3sv]

Ooo, the fishing net one is rather delightful, especially if it contribuites to fishing skill. I've yet to find a game with interesting fishing, but it's always a pity to either ignore fishing quests or cheat through them. Would be nice to have a mechanic for them instead - at least this is just 'go on the rounds'

[@NPP_1]

I am even hardcore enough to not just use the cooking skill mod, but also the luck skill mod! Maybe you should make a video about skill mods

[@signofthecrimes1534]

there's also a level up mod where you can get additional perks for each skill. I was hoping you could go over that?

[@shannonbwolford]

I don't even use mods, I just love watching mods videos ❤

[@jazzackroyd4808]

One farm I had I got super lucky and the quarry started with two mystic nodes both of which dropped prismatic shards and I don't think I've gotten a mystic node in the quarry on any farm since then

[@Great_Olaf5]

Will the transplant tree mod preserve the tree's age? As in, if it's a three year old tree producing gold (I thump) star crops, will that still be the case when you move it?

[@orngjce223]

The Water Bomb is actually based on a prank/meme from a couple years ago where a bunch of streamers were tricked into doing that and losing a bunch of their crops

[@slwrabbits]

I didn't know BlaDe actually made it into a downloadable mod so I thought Sal was going to blow up his farm

[@CptTristan]

I love mods for stardew valley, but why.. WHY is there no workshop on steam for stardew valley?

[@octosional]

When you tried foraging the fish, it actually did double the last herring you picked up

[@LM-cx4sj]

Ye-yeah… I’m definitely using the giant crop mods for getting more of each fruit/vegetable… not aesthetic purposes 😅

[@eschersskynet8974]

Did you ever do a vieo on the anthro characters mods for stardew valley?

[@nathan9931]

Are there any music mods you would recommend? I love the music for this game, but when I'm on literally hour 300 I get just a little tired hearing the same tunes over and over again.

[@lagnir5992]

Still hoping for a big combat expansion someday. Current Stardew Combat is a chore and I imagine even in the limited engine it could be far better.

[@victory8928]

The node mod is lovely

[@salmence100]

I thought so too! It adds a bit of variety in the mines!

[@victory8928]

@@salmence100 i just tried it and yeah it does it also makes the coal nodes be common so you cab gather coal from mining which I find to be useful

[@iRule37]

i always feel super lost when looking for mods relating to the farmer's kids. do you think that'd be a good vid idea?

[@snakeskinrug5352]

the randomised mod should have an element of predictability, make it take skill to plant the right crops as the market fluctuates

[@meghankellner21]

First I think :edit: the giant crop mod is great I use it on my modded farm

[@user-lt9kj1fz1d]

[@Lemony123]

10:02 Sound overpowered to me. But Prismatic Shard feel a lot common.

The giant crops mod being the first mod to be showcased here really hurt, just driving down the fact that I've tried to get giant crops grown in 3x3 areas for a year straight and failing

This has nothing to do with this video but I thought was weird. I was playing multiple player i was the guest and had never gone fishing before on that farm. It was the event festival of ice when I was fishing i only cought fish and could not lose them. Is that a glitch or supposed to happen.
