Hi, I am Max!

I am the author of DeepWoods. This mod has come a long way since the first release in 2018, and I am so glad you are part of this journey!

What is DeepWoods?

In short: Something similar to the mines, but with wood instead of stones as the major regrowing resource. I call it DeepWoods, because it is big and has a lot of things to discover.

It's also a dangerous place, meant to enhance late game. If you are early in the game, do not try to explore the forest. You have been warned.

• []The forest is  completely generated on the fly while playing, there are no map files. This means that the forest is different for every game, with great replayability.[/]

  []It's fully compatible with multiplayer. You can explore the forest with your friends!

  [] Sadly, split-screen co-op is broken. Be assured that I am looking into a fix![/]

[]The forest makes heavy use of luck modifiers and player combat levels, to create the best experience for everyone.[/]

[]The forest is highly configurable, all values and settings it uses for level generation, resource placements, monster strengths etc. are in a config file in the mod folder. While not recommended for everyone, I still encourage you to play around with the config.json in the mod folder.[/]

⚡️ Compatibility with other mods

I am not actively testing compatibility myself, but I will add more mods as information from users piles up. Thanks to everyone who tests and reports these!

[] Stardew Valley Expanded ✔️ Fully compatible.[/]

[]Expanded Woods ✔️ Fully compatible.[/]

[]Extended Minecart ✔️ Fully compatible.[/]

[]Save Anywhere ❌ Broken, nothing I can fix. Save Anywhere doesn't report save events correctly, causing crashes when used with DeepWoods.[/]

[]MTN2 ✔️ Fully compatible.[/]

[]MTN1 ⚠️Only compatible in singleplayer. Not compatible in multiplayer as it breaks the SMAPI network API. (If you use an old version of DeepWoods, 1. 3-beta. 17 and earlier, you can use the DeepWoodsMTNCompatibilityMod. 1. 0. 0.zip for playing in multiplayer. Later versions rely on the SMAPI multiplayer API.)[/]
