Special Power Utilities (SPU)

Special Power Utilities provides a way for modded players and mod authors to separate their Special Items & Powers tab into different mod categories so that you can see which mod adds what powers and view them separately from the powers present in the base game. As well, for mod authors, Special Power Utilities provides some new GameStateQueries, Tokens, and/or TriggerActions that may prove useful to you if you'd like to do more with powers than you otherwise could.

It is very important to note that Special Power Utilities is not intended to be a framework for adding more complex and advanced powers. While I would love this to be the case, due to the nature of how powers work and how they must be integrated into the game's code, you will still likely need to delve into C# yourself in order to create more advanced powers. If in the future I can figure out a way to make this easier to achieve for mod authors who only use Content Patcher, I will work to include it, but this is not guaranteed. The aim of this mod is to provide a (hopefully) nicer Special Items & Powers tab for modded players and make working with simpler powers a little bit easier for mod authors.

Installation

• []Install the latest version of SMAPI.

  []Extract the mod into Stardew Valley/Mods.

  []Run the game using SMAPI.

  Usage For Players

  Installing this mod will replace your current Special Items & Powers tab with one that supports categories. If you have another mod installed that adds a new special item or power, it will be placed in a new category on the left side, separate from the base game powers. Each mod that adds a special item or power will get its own category on the side, with no limit to the number of categories. If a mod does not provide support specifically for Special Power Utilities, it will be assigned an icon to use. Nothing about how you unlock your powers will change, regardless of whether or not your other mods support Special Power Utilities; the only thing that will change is how you view them.

  Potentially. See the configuration section below.

  []EnableCategories: Rather self explanatory. If this is disabled, you will not see any mod categories on the left side of your Special Items & Powers tab, nor will your modded special items and powers be moved anywhere. All special it
