📋 About This Mod
Say goodbye to your pet's idle days and hello to its newfound purpose as your ultimate crow-fighting companion! Witness your once forgettable friend transform from a simple nightly blockade on your way to bed into a fierce defender of your farm, aiding you in the battle against those pesky crows.
Compatible with Stardew Valley 1. 6 and multiplayer, this mod alters the crow spawning mechanics. By default, in vanilla Stardew Valley, a maximum of 4 crows can appear per day. However, with this mod, the likelihood of crow spawns decreases as your pet's friendship increases.
-
[]From 0 to 249 friendship points, a maximum of 4 crows can spawn.
[
]From 250 to 499 friendship points, a maximum of 3 crows can spawn.[]From 500 to 749 friendship points, a maximum of 2 crows can spawn.
[]From 750 to 999 friendship points, only 1 crow can spawn.
- At 1000 friendship points, the maximum possible value, no crows will spawn.
Scarecrows still hold their value in the early and mid-game stages, providing essential protection against crows. However, once your pet's friendship maxes out, you can bid farewell to cluttering your farm with scarecrows. Of course, feel free to keep a few around for decoration purposes and to maintain that classic farm aesthetic!
Important: The mod takes effect after the first night.
