📋 About This Mod

Object Progress Bars

Shows progress bars on refining or artisan goods machines. Use keyboard key 'P' to toggle progress bars (configurable).

REQUIREMENTS:

• Stardew Valley 1. 3. 3 or later

• SMAPI 2. 10 or later

INSTALLATION:

• Unzip the mod folder into Stardew Valley/Mods

FEATURES:

• Shows accurate progress bars that can be toggled on/off with a shortcut key.

• Calculates  progress based on the time left until processing will be complete and total time a machine takes for completion, according to the wiki.

• Guesses progress for the few machines (Worm Bin, Oil Maker, Cask(?)) that don't have a determinable total time.

• Progress bars resemble original game UI.

CAVEATS:

• Worm Bin and Oil Maker progress might look inconsistent every time game is loaded since the total time is being guessed. However they do sort of provide a correct estimation of time left on processing.

• Cask wasn't tested since I don't have a cellar. It's behavior might be weird.

• Mod was only tested on Linux.

CREDITS:

♦ spacechase0's Object Time Left 1. 0. 1 was used as a starting point.
