About this mod

Removes roe from all shellfish pond loot tables, and replaces it with a chance to produce pearls.

Requirements
Permissions and credits
In real life, oysters and other shellfish are capable of producing pearls. It's a long process though, but they are of course very valuable and worth it. Even if not for a profit, they're great as gifts! This is a configurable mod that allows for that same functionality in Stardew.


Config:
(The config.json will be generated in the mod's folder upon first launch of the game with it installed)

{
"Clams": "False",
"Cockles": "False",
"Mussels": "True",
"Oysters": "True",
"MorePearls": "False",
"FewerPearls": "False"
}

"Clams": True or False; Sets whether or not Clams are included in the mod's changes. Defaults to False.
"Cockles": True or False; Sets whether or not Cockles are included in the mod's changes. Defaults to False.
"Mussels": True or False; Sets whether or not Mussels are included in the mod's changes. Defaults to True.
"Oysters": True or False; Sets whether or not Oysters are included in the mod's changes. Defaults to True.
"MorePearls": True or False; Adjusts the drop chances to be weighted more toward Pearls. Defaults to False.
"FewerPearls": True or False; Adjusts the drop chances to make Pearls rarer. Defaults to False

Use:

Each shellfish pond will only start producing Pearls once it reaches a population of at least 8. They have multiple population gates, so this will take a few days. In the interest of balance, at a population of 8 the chance of them producing any Pearls is still fairly low (5%-8%). Once they reach maximum capacity with a population of 10, these values increase (10%-25%). The configuration value "MorePearls" will significantly boost these odds (5%-10% at 8, 10%-50% at 10) when set to True. With "FewerPearls", you will be facing slim chances (1%-2% at 8, 2.5%-4% at 10).

Oysters will always be more likely to produce Pearls than the others, and they have a chance to produce up to 3 at a time at a population of 10. 

All screenshots show potential yields with one pond of each type set to True.

!! IF YOU USE SHELL COLLECTION, THE SCALLOPS AND ABALONES ADDED BY THAT MOD WILL ALSO HAVE A CHANCE TO PRODUCE PEARLS !!
