📋 About This Mod

A Stardew Valley mod - spiritual successor of Deluxe Grabber.

This mod beefs up your Auto Grabber so it can do more things than just collect animal produce:

  • []Harvest slime balls from the slime hutch.

    []Harvest mushrooms from your farm cave.

    []Harvest crops in your farm (as well as from indoor pots), with a configurable range for game balance.

    []Forage items throughout town.

    []Dig up artifact spots throughout town.

    []Collect ores from ore pan sites through town.

    []Search through garbage cans in town.

    []Chop down hardwood stumps in the Secret Woods.

    []Harvest berries from bushes.

    []Harvest fruits from fruit trees.

    []Shake down seeds from seed trees.

    All of these options are configurable. To use this mod, just place an Auto-Grabber on a specific map, and the Auto-Grabber will do all of the above applicable things in that map. If you place one in the Secret Woods, it will forage all items that spawn at the beginning of the day, and chop down the stumps for you. If you place one outdoors in your farm, it will harvest your crops, harvest fruits from fruit trees, etc.

    Currently unsupported features:

    • []Global harvesting (beta support). The previous mod allowed a single auto grabber to perform harvesting for every map in the game. In my version, an auto grabber only covers the map that it was placed in (not including building interiors) for game balance purposes. If there is enough demand I can work on adding this in a future update.

      []Harvesting Golden Walnuts in Ginger Island. These add very specific collection stats to the game that has more complex logic. Will add in a future update.

      []Harvesting artifact spots in Ginger Island. There are additional items that you can get from digging up artifact spots in Ginger Island. Currently this will not work as intended (it will still dig up artifact spots, but will not roll for those additional items).

      []Harvesting giant crops. This can be added in a future update if there is enough demand.

      []Adding to game stats. Some manual actions that your player does (like chopping wood or digging up artifact spots) adds to a specific hidden counter in the game for achievement tracking purposes. Using this mod to have the auto grabbers perform those actions for you will currently not update the game stats.

      This mod is compatible with the Generic Mod Config Menu to customize settings. Otherwise you can change your config.json on your own.

      Available settings (edit inside config.json):

      []slimeHutch: boolean (default: true) - Enable/disable harvesting slime balls from slime hutches.

      []farmCaveMushrooms: boolean (default: true) - Enable/disable harvesting from mushroom boxes inside the farm cave.

      [*]harvestCrops: boolean (default: false) -
