Question! Would it be possible to disable the kitchen? I already use the PIF mod for buisness kitchen in my mega mansion, having two would be redundant. Just a simple suggestion.
Hi Kalmek! There are now "No Kitchen" versions included in the mod! So you should be able to fulfill all your decorating dreams. ^_^ Just look for the "No Kitchen" version of either the First Upgrade or Fully Renovated Farmhouses. The First Upgrade No Kitchen version was just added recently.
Requesting the author for an update, I mean the fully upgraded farm house with the cellar as well as all the rooms that are paid to unlock, begging for your update
Hi there! The latest update has two new options, a Fully Renovated Farmhouse and a Fully Renovated Farmhouse Without Kitchen. However, I can't include the cellar yet. The cellar is a separate room (it's not part of the regular farmhouse map), so it will have to be its own PIF room with a separate PIF door. I will try to add it in a future update. I hope the Renovated Farmhouse works well for you. Thank you!
I saw that you spoke about turning modded maps into PIF rooms and I wanted to know if you could explain how? I had been working on doing that for personal use, but not all maps are necessarily one tmx file and I have very low knowledge on the use of Tiled.
Oh gosh, I really need to look into the new updates for PIF myself, since I I haven't been playing or modding for the past few months. If you're on Discord, would you mind reaching out to me there? My username is the same there as here (and I'm on several different Stardew servers, so you'll know it's me, lol). We can set up a time to look at the maps and the updated framework and figure it out together. Tiled is definitely counterintuitive, so I'm happy to help. ^_^
Hey. To your question. I for one would love to be able to fully upgrade and mod the PIF house with a spouse room too. But I am an options fiend. If thIngs change so NPCs can go in it that would be amazing but I’m sure that is out of your control. It would be like you had an air B&B or something.
What you have done so far is so cool, I play with an alternate farmhouse but have wanted to able to mess with fully renovating the traditional one. I would even choose an option that required paying for upgrades if it could be done. I use the little red schoolhouse mod and do it the long way instead of the “Lazy” option.
Allowing NPCs would be inadvisable, since it would be very likely to break their pathing rules and cause them to get stuck. But if it's something you're really interested in, you might ask at the main framework page: (https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/20537).
If you want to pay for upgrades, you could pay Robin to build a cabin, then use the mod Upgrade Empty Cabins to upgrade it: https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/5253. Alternatively, you could check the documentation for PIF and create a door that costs the equivalent of upgrading a house, then link it specifically to one of the farmhouses in my mod.
I did consider making it so that the farmhouses in my mod upgraded along with the main farmhouse (ie when you upgrade from Farmhouse 0 to Farmhouse 1, the PIF room gets upgraded simultaneously). The main issue is that Stardew is hardcoded to move furniture items when upgrading the main farmhouse, but this coding wouldn't apply to PIF rooms. This could cause things like chests and beds to get stuck in walls in the PIF room when upgrading.
If you were to add a fully renovated PIF house with spouse room, would you want the open floor plans (for the living room, bedroom, etc) or the default enclosed floor plans?
I thought that would be the case with NPCs in the PIF areas. I have that cabins one you are talking about. In fact what I have had my eye out for was a way to allow a cabin to have a different layout than the main house so we could mess around and play with 5 - 8 different farm house concepts. The building stats mod has the potential to develop into something like that but there needs to be something that would change one layout and leave the rest alone.
If I had time to learn to mod I would. Unfortunately at this point I do not.
Hey I was wondering if you had time to play with upgrading the PIF House? I have this cool idea about building a shed and making that like an intro room where you could have a bed and then have the rest of the house behind the door, which would help make up for the fact that you’re not supposed to sleep in a PIF place..
Hey there! Your timing is amazing; I just opened this page to upload the updated version of the mod and I saw your comment! :) I've added a Fully Renovated and a Fully Renovated Without Kitchen option to the mod, so you'll have two more full farmhouses to choose from. I also added a secret escape warp to all the maps (see the mod description and images) in case you get trapped overnight in one of the Farmhouse rooms. Let me know if you have any problems with these! I've tested all of them but it seems like something always pops up. ^_^;
That's awesome. I was busy all afternoon and logged on and was like wow look at that. Very cool I'm looking forward to playing. Tell me. Can you actually use both types of houses in the same save?
You can! In fact, I think you can even have two of the same type as long as you use different PIF doors for them (though I haven't tested this). In theory you could have multiple Fully Renovated farmhouses, each behind its own unique PIF door. I even found that you can put a PIF door inside a PIF room (PIF-Inception!) which means I can add a separate cellar PIF room that people will be able to access with a PIF hatch door from inside their PIF Farmhouse. O_O;
When PIF first showed up I told the creator it was totally revolutionary. I honestly don't think he had any idea what direction it would go. Now someone came along and created a mod that provides like 300 or so doors/portals. So as creators churn out cool ideas there will be more and more opportunities to customize things. It's so fun being part of an interactive community.
You mean, can I make PIF rooms for custom modded farmhouse maps? I'd have to get permission from the creators of the other farmhouse maps to do so, but if they gave me permission, then yes, it would be possible. In theory, it could be done with just about any map.
I figured that would be the case. I started exploring the app. Are you going to put one out for those folks that enjoy the walls? I love how you can utilize each stage as its own place. Did you see the new mod that adds hallways I. Order to create more space for doors?
I tried this, and it works. You can make a multi-layer maze with PIF doors inside PIF rooms if you want, or use the same door to circle back to the original room.
I honestly would love to see someone do this. There are some great PIF doors (hatches, ladders, windows with fairy lights, etc) that would make for nifty dungeon exits. Plus if you use the exact same type of door, it will always lead to the same room. (So the "Chaos" door always leads to the same place - if you have multiple Chaos doors, they'll all link to the same room). You can have doors that loop back on themselves (for example, if you link the Chaos door to the beginner farmhouse PIF room, then place another Chaos door inside the beginner PIF farmhouse, going through won't take you anywhere. You'll end up inside the same room.)
Okay, I'm getting off on a tangent here. XD But if you decide to play around with this, go for it.
Hey, thank you for your request! Which level farmhouse did you want without the kitchen (1st upgrade or 2nd upgrade)? And I assume you still want the room itself, you just want the oven, counters, sink, etc taken out?
Hello! I made a version that has all the renovations and the spouse room, but no kitchen. Please download the latest version of the mod and look for the "Fully Renovated Farmhouse No Kitchen" version. Let me know if you have any questions or issues. ^_^
