If you want to buy me coffee, I now have a ko-fi.

This mod started out as a suggestion by Aulberon on discord for one of the features and while trying to find a way to add this to the game in an immersive way the mod got a bit bigger.

Secrets:

The old mariner at the beach now tells you 4 major, 11 minor and 1 repeatable secret. Some add or reveal existing content but some unlock completely new mechanics.

The first time you talk to the old mariner on a rainy day, he will reveal a secret. Afterwards he will continue to use his usual marriage dialogue. So visit him regularly, and maybe even use a few rain totems.

Speech Patterns:

There are two different speech patterns to choose from:

• []Sailor, which is how the mariner talks in the base game

  []Modern, just normal english without an accent

  There is also the option 'Dynamic' which changes the dialogue based on your installed mods. Currently, if you have installed a 'Mariner to Mermaid' mod, like Seasonal Mariner To Mermaid, the speech pattern automatically uses 'Modern', otherwise it uses 'Sailor'. Can be changed in the config or GMCM. The title of the old mariner in the dialogue about the secrets also changes based on dialogue replacements like Mermaid mods.

  Is that all you want to know? Or do you want to spoil yourself?

  Major secrets will be selected first. Also, you will keep getting the same secret the next time if you don't get the item it talks about.

  • []Green Ocean Calendar: The days in the summer, where the ocean turns green and additional beach forage spawns, are marked on your calendar.

    []Sleep-talking Mermaid: Earn Secret Note #15 for the Night Market in an immersive way, before you get the Magnifying Glass at the start of winter 1.

    []Lost Belongings: After year 1 summer 3, earn Secret Note #25 to find 2 items at the Spa in an immersive way, before you get the Magnifying Glass.

    []Worm Bin Knowledge: If you have unlocked the Worm Bin, using Driftwood on it will double its yield from 4-5 Bait to 8-10 Bait for the next harvest.

  ¹ if you have already gotten this item once before you installed this mod, you will sadly have to get it again, because the base game didn't keep track of that information.

  []Beach Farm Secret. If you are using the Beach Farm, get a hint for a secret base game item.

  []Town Secret: Get a hint depending on your Community Center route for a secret base game item¹.

  [*]Secret Woods Secret: If you have fishe
