About this mod
Configurable rewards for the Aquatic Overpopulation special order, so the reward is not a duplicate of the Biome Balance reward.

With this mod you can choose your own reward for the Aquatic Overpopulation special order. In some cases, you can choose to receive the crafting recipe instead of the item itself (this will remove the normal method of obtaining the crafting recipe from the game). If an item is chosen, the letter from Demetrius will be slightly reworded to refer to a machine instead of a recipe. The monetary reward for the quest has not been changed, nor has the Biome Balance reward (you will still receive the Farm Computer crafting recipe).
Available rewards (chosen via the config):
Bait Maker (Item or recipe)
Crystalarium (item or recipe)
Deconstructor (item)
Deluxe Worm Bin (item or recipe)
Fish Smoker (item or recipe)
Heavy Tapper (item)
Hopper (item)
Telephone (item)
Wood Chipper (item)
Workbench (item)
Some of these objects are not craftable (Deconstructor, Telephone, Wood Chipper, Workbench), so a crafting recipe cannot be rewarded. Others have crafting recipes located in Mr. Qi's Walnut Room (Heavy Tapper. Hopper), and I consider it unbalanced for them to be a reward during this mid-game quest, and you are unlikely to have radioactive bars at that stage anyway.
Config options (Generic Mod Config Menu highly recommened):
Reward: Choose from Bait Maker, Crystalarium, Deconstructor, Deluxe Worm Bin, Fish Smoker, Heavy Tapper, Hopper, Telephone, Wood Chipper or Workbench. (Default: Hopper)
Recipe (true/false): Choose true to be rewarded with the crafting recipe for your chosen item. This only applies to the Bait Maker, Crystalarium, Deluxe Worm Bin and Fish Smoker. It does nothing if another reward is chosen, and will just reward you the item instead. (Default: false)
INSTALLATION/COMPATIBILITY/ADDING MID-SAVE ETC.
-Created and tested on Stardew Valley 1.6.8 with SMAPI 4.0.8 and Content Patcher 2.0.6, and I recommend having the latest versions of all of these.
-Unzip the file into your Stardew Valley Mods folder
-Should be compatible with any mods that don't edit the Aquatic Overpopulation quest rewards, or the crafting recipe unlock conditions for your chosen item (if you have chosen a recipe).
-Recommended to add to a new save, but I think it should be compatible to add mid-save as long as a) you've not activated the Aquatic Overpopulation quest yet, and b) you haven't already unlocked your chosen crafting recipe (if you have chosen a recipe in the config).
This is my first mod and I'm an amateur, but I think it is pretty stable. If you encounter any issues please let me know.
