A 1.6-compatible update of the classic "Iridium Tools Patch" by ToweringRedwood. Find the original mod here for reference.

Initially this mod was just an update to Harmony 2.0 found in SMAPI 4.0.8+ so that it could continue working with Stardew 1.6. It has since expanded to modify all levels of farming tool upgrades. Because Harmony works by replacing bits of the base game's code, the fewer pieces that are replaced, the fewer errors and mod conflicts can arise. To that end, I am investigating how tool enchantments are implemented in the game's code. If it can be gracefully done, I would like to adjust any relevant enchants to still be worth the effort to acquire.

i18n support has been added, but I'm not conversationally fluent in any other language. Someone who's willing to throw together an i18n json for another language would be very much appreciated.

The default configuration changes the upgraded farming tools to affect a different areas at their maximum charge, with the intent to match sprinkler coverage.
The mod's configuration by default:
  • Copper: 1x3 - (3 tiles total) (same as vanilla)
  • Steel: 3x3 - (9 tiles total)
  • Gold: 6x3 - (18 tiles total)
  • Iridium: 5x5 - (25 tiles total)
Generic Mod Config Menu (GMCM) integration allows you to edit the above values from the title screen, no json editing required. But if you prefer, there is a config.json file generated in the mod's folder. That file allows a user to change the area affected by the farming tools. You can open the config.json file in any text editor, like Notepad, Notepad++ (yay!), MS Word (why?), Nano, or even Vim (eww).

How To Use:
  • Follow the installation instructions below
  • Use your hoe/watering can as normal, and enjoy the modified AoE
  • (optional) Adjust the different tool levels as desired, either via hot keys or the GMCM

Hot Keys: (these keys assume a US keyboard, please adjust accordingly if using another layout)
  • Pipe/Backslash: Cycle through charge levels to adjust
  • Pipe (Hold): Hold to reset all tool values to mod's default
  • Open Bracket: Increase tool AoE length
  • Close Bracket: Increase tool AoE radius
  • Semicolon: Decrease tool AoE length
  • Quote: Decrease tool AoE radius
All of these keys can be re-bound in GMCM

Installation:

  • Install Stardew Valley
  • Install SMAPI (found here and/or found here)
  • Download this mod
  • Unzip the mod folder into your StardewValley/Mods folder (NOTE: Remove Iridium Tools Patch if present, it WILL conflict with this version)
  • Launch the game via SMAPI's executable
  • Enjoy

Compatibility:
  • Confirmed to work on Stardew Valley 1.6.8, on Windows 10 (Untested on Mac, Linux, or Android)
  • Untested with other mods that affect tool charged effects, will likely clash with them
Please reach out if you find any incompatibilities, I can do my best to address them.
