📋 About This Mod
Inspired by awesome maps like DaisyNiko's Capitalistic Dream II or Grapeponta's Secret Garden, I really wanted to try my hands at mapmaking. After some painful weeks of learning, I finally released Waterfall Forest! I hope you'll enjoy it!
I'm more than happy with any comments, critics or advice. Please report any issue you have no matter how small, as well as design flaws you noticed.
Starting from the 3. 0. 0 update you can choose between playing on Waterfall Forest (WaFF) or Waterfall Forest Large Edition (WaFFLE)! The maps now appear as new farm types (when selecting your farm, there will be an arrow showing additional farms).
IF YOU WANT TO USE STARDEW PLANNER
You can now upload custom layouts on the planner (hover over the gear icon, the option is at the bottom of the list).
Please download and use the following pictures if you want to do so with Waterfall Forest:

GLOBAL FEATURES
- Two new selectable bigger maps, adding their own farm type.
- A new additional large cave (Optional - Farm outdoor appearance will change accordingly).
- An optional new zone between the farm and the backwoods & its associated upgradable building
- Multiple features can be disabled (Animal pen, fountain area, dense forest, fences...)
- Multiplayer for up to 8 users!
- Waterfalls!
OUTDOOR FEATURES
- All grass is tillable.
- The animal pen, stairs and bridges will prevent animals from going through them. (Optional)
- North and South, cliffs entrances and a cart act as fast travel on the farm.
- Forest forage and renewable tree stumps!
- A Quarry is located South East of each farm.
- An isolated outdoor healing pond (Optional).
- Choose between a Lake Beach (by default) with grass for some sprinkler usage, or a sandy Sea Beach with sea forage and Palm Trees.
- Large Waterfalls!
CAVE FEATURES
- A second cave is added to the farm, between the farmhouse and the bus exit, leaving the original cave untouched and compatible with other cave mods!
- The boat, shrine's cliff and large mine (on WaFFLE) are alternate cave entrances.
- Dirt patches in the cave are tillable, offering a poor man's alternative to the greenhouse early game. Their shape make sprinklers impractical as they're not intended to replace the greenhouse.
- This cave will allow you to use casks once the cellar is built (controllable by a settings option).
