EscaMMC for the FTM framework and super quick responses to my million questions.
This mod is inspired by Better Quarry by Nishtra. Unfortunately the mod hasn't been updated in a while and seems to be abandoned.
Better Quarry Redux boosts the spawn rates of geodes, ores, and gems in the Quarry, making it a go-to for Stardew Valley farmers who want more valuable finds. With over 3,700 endorsements and 114k downloads, it's a proven, lightweight tweak that's still updated as of mid-2024.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 3,706 endorsements and over 114k downloads—clearly a mod people trust.
- Does exactly what it says: more geodes, ores, and gems from the Quarry, no bloat.
- Updated recently (June 2024), so it's likely compatible with current Stardew Valley versions.
⚠️ Cons
- Only affects the Quarry—if you're looking for changes elsewhere, this won't help.
- May make the Quarry feel overpowered for some, reducing the challenge of resource gathering.
For Stardew Valley players who want to maximize their Quarry yields without overhauling the game. If you're tired of getting mostly stone and want more geodes and gems for museum donations or selling, this is for you. Skip if you prefer a balanced economy or want more comprehensive mining changes.
💡 Beginner Tips
- If you use SMAPI, just drop the mod folder into your Mods directory and launch the game—no config needed.
- Check the mod's page for any optional config files if you want to tweak the spawn rates to your liking.
- Pair with a mod like 'Quarry Tweaks' if you want to adjust other Quarry aspects, but this one works standalone.
