📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

  • Turns a rare event into a jackpot: iridium ore and geodes are endgame gold.
  • Lightweight and focused—doesn't mess with other loot tables or game balance.

⚠️ Cons

  • Last updated in December 2021—might be outdated for the latest Stardew Valley patches.
  • Only affects meteorites, so if you're looking for broader loot overhauls, this won't cut it.

📦 Install:Easy· Under 1 minute

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Meteorites spawn randomly on your farm, so keep an eye out for the crash sound and check your farm each morning.
  • Use a pickaxe upgraded to at least gold to break meteorites efficiently—iron won't cut it.
  • If you're on the latest Stardew Valley version and the mod seems broken, check for community patches or updates on the mod page.
