Unlock Conditions*:
*Conditions will vary depending on level of grindiness set
Compatibility
Effort has been made to make this mod as overwrite-able (where possible!). If you prefer the tweaks from one of the other difficulty mods out there you can change it!
It is mod-aware of the following mods:
-Stardew Valley Expanded
-Ridgeside Village
-Cornucopia: More Crops
-Cornucopia: More Flowers
-Cornucopia: Artisan Machines
-Wildflour: Atelier Goods
-Sunberry Village
For any other content added: obviously I cannot guarantee it will have a difficulty level that is compatible with this gameplay style.
