📋 About This Mod
This is an update to the Farmer Helper mod by aedenthorn following their retirement from modding. This has been updated to work with Stardew Valley 1. 6 and SMAPI 4. 0. 0. This was updated primarily for personal use but I decided to publish it in case anyone else used this mod and wished to do so with 1. 6.
This is mostly a direct update but it looked like the old version was lacking support for crops on Ginger Island. So I have added that during the update so you will now be notified of crops ready to harvest there too.
Original Mod Description
This mod provides the following functionality (each may be turned of in the config):
-
[]Label seeds that are too late in the season to plant
[
]Prevent late planting[]Warn about plants that need watering before sleep
[]Warn about plants that need harvesting before sleep
[]Warn about animals outside before sleep
[]Warn about animals that need petting before sleep
- Warn about animals harvesting before sleep
You can use Generic Mod Menu Config to change these settings, or edit the config.json file.
There is also a config option to ignore certain crop types by the product id index.
