Instant Buildings from Farm is a Stardew Valley v1.6 mod which lets you build any building normally sold by the carpenter directly from your farm without waiting for days for Robin to build them. Buildings are created/upgraded instantly, and the magician buildings are included too! You can also upgrade your house or cabin instantly to add the kitchen, nursery, and cellar directly from your farm without having to wait. The configuration file allows you to turn off the resource requirements needed to build/upgrade so you can play around in a sandbox mode if you want. The config file is created on first load.

If you are feeling generous and want to support my work, you can now Buy me a Coffee! 

***Version 4.0.0 adds support for SMAPI 4.0 and version 1.6 of Stardew Valley (March 21, 2024).

Note and warning about other mod support by this mod in v1.6 of Stardew Valley:
This new version of the game is heavily modified from the last version. This caused me to have to completely rewrite the way the Instant Build Menu works. The good news is that this new method that inherits directly from the existing Carpenter/Wizard Menu should allow you to instantly build any building added by other mods as well, although I am not officially supporting any other mods except the Tractor Mod. However, they should work just fine. The bad news is that I was not able to customize the code as much for convenience like in the past so you will now notice a flash between selecting a building and being able to place it. In addition, the focus gets reset to your farmhouse each time you build something, so you must scroll to the area where you are building each time.  These are known issues and cannot be fixed due to the new coding method I am using.
