Better Truffles

Pigs can dig for truffles in tall grass!

Truffles also display bubbles to indicate where they are!

No more blindly running around until you bump into a truffle!

I cultivated meadows full of blue grass on my farm only to find out that pigs can't find truffles in grass.

I was distraught.

But that doesn't make sense, pigs can't dig in tall grass, but the truffles they find can appear in tall grass?

Then I became the change I wanted to see.

Pigs can now dig for truffles in tall grass and truffles also show a bubble to indicate where they are.

Apparently this is also Android compatible too! Not sure how it works, but I'm sure glad it does!

Note: This mod might increase the numbers of truffles found by pigs (maybe)

This mod does not directly cause pigs to find additional truffles. Refer to this page on the Stardew Wiki. Each frame (which occurs 60 times a second, assuming 60fps), a pig has a 0. 02% to find a truffle. Since tall grass now counts as a valid tile, this check will occur MUCH more often, which may result in more truffles than usual.

For example, if your pig pen has 5 empty tiles and 35 tiles of tall grass, the game probably won't perform the truffle check very often because there are only 5 valid tiles. With this mod your entire pen (assuming its only empty tiles and tall grass) will be valid for constantly performing the truffle check, so you'll find waaaaay more truffles.

On the other hand, if your pig pen has 30 empty tiles and only 10 tiles of grass, you won't notice too much of a difference because the truffle check will already occur quite often.

Requirements:

- Generic Mod Config Menu (optional)

Mod Compatibility:

May be incompatible with mods that change animal behavior.

If the mod in question is only a Content Patcher mod, then it is compatible. If the mod is a C# mod (contains a .dll file), then there is a possibility of conflict. This would only occur between mods that change the same behaviours, e.g. another mod that changes how pigs/truffles behave.

If you're not sure whether or not a mod is compatible, feel free to drop a comment with a link to that mod.

Mods confirmed to be compatible include:

Like a Duck to Water Continued

Better Ranching

Better Pigs

For Content Patcher mods that add new pig-like animals, those animals will also be able to dig for their products in tall grass too.

To enable the bubble indicator for their products, the mod author will have to add "temisthem_bettertruffles" as a context tag to their custom item in content.json. Adding this context tag for other objects will also cause the bubble to display too.
