📋 About This Mod

Description

Prevents trees from automatically dropping their seeds and spreading on your farm. To compensate, trees will have a higher chance of having a seed.

Furthermore trees on your farm will retain their seed during the night.

Config

Note: run Stardew Valley once with this mod enabled to generate the config.json file.
  • [] SeedChance: Chance that a tree will have a seed. Normally this is 0. 05 (=5%). Default = 0. 15 (=15%).

[] OnlyPreventTapped: Whether only tapped trees are prevented from dropping seeds. Default = false.

[] RetainSeed: Whether the tree should keep its seed during the night, to compensate for trees not spreading. Vanilla SDV removes seeds during the night. Default = true.
