Greetings wine lovers.
The purpose of this mod is to bring some variety to the Vineyard experience of Stardew Valley. It does so by adding 9 new grape varieties and editing the in-game grapes to match the new balance levels. It also adds 5 new artisan goods and 2 new artisan machines. These grapes are not based on real life grapes (I HIGHLY recommend the mod Stardew Vineyard for that) but have been made to fit into the world of Stardew Valley.
**STARDEW 1.6 UPDATE -- VERSION 4.0.0**
And its done. All updated. We now use Content Patcher rather than Json Assets, and Custom Bushes rather than Crop Growth Adjustment.
Bear in mind, the grape starters now act like Tea Bushes. You can plant them anywhere (Farm, Greenhouse, Ginger Island etc), they don't need Tilled Soil and they don't need Watering. They wont die out of season and they have unique Fall and Winter crop sprites. To offset this, Grape Starters are rather expensive.
I have built in the compatibility with Stardew Valley Expanded, which means no additional download needed. The SVE content will automatically unlock if you have SVE installed. We also have compatibility with Heaps at Ridgeside Village. Check there often as you may get lucky and get access to some of the new grape starters early.
***INTER-MOD-COMPATABILITY***
A number of changes and fixes here from previous versions. Importantly, I have split out the PFM file so each compatibility option has its own file. I now offer compatibility files for the following mods
-- Cornucopia: More Crops -- White Grapes now make the GOF products (Except Sparkling Wine, which still produces their Sparkling Wine, but using the GOF recipe.
-- Copper Still -- Brandy can be made from thew GOF wines, and a new product Grappa can be made using GOF grapes.
-- Atelier Wildflour Candy and Confections -- GOF grapes can be used to make Grape Candy
-- Atelier Wildflour Refreshing Beverages -- GOF Grapes can be used to make Grape Juice.
If you don't use any of these mods, feel free to either ignore the SMAPI warning that it couldn't load the module, or delete the relevant PFM folder. Once Wildflour releases their updates I'll review and update my Compatibility, and once Stardew Vineyard updates I'll update the compatibility with that too. If theres anything that you might feel needs some compatibility, let me know!
