Just adding a quick comment for those wondering, there are indeed 2 secret entrances into the swimming pond area in the bottom right corner of the map and going through them allows you to stay in your regular clothes and use your tools like normal. You just have to use a pickaxe/axe to clear the debris to find them! Sorry for not including pictures for the exact locations of the entrances but there's one directly to the left of the main entrance and one on the way left side of the forest area surrounding the swimming hole. Thanks for using this mod! <3
I wanted to start a new game and was looking for a new farm layout for variety's sake, and eventually settled for yours. It had a suitable about of space for the kind of farm I want to design; plus it looks very nice! I just got one or maybe two problems. The first one: The hot spring in the south-eastern corner keeps spanning trees that almost block the entrance and because my farmer changes into their bathing suite whenever I enter the area, I can't use any of my tools to remove them or any other "debris" that's there. The second problem: I'm not so sure on whether it's this mod causing it. It's just that the train station hasn't unlocked even though I've already reached my first summer. And I wonder whether that hot spring might be preventing it from unlocking somehow, since the train station also has the bathhouse... Or maybe it's something else that's doing it. I dunno. I'm no programmer and know next to nothing about coding.
Edit: Whoops! I went to Stardew Valley wiki and found out that the railroad (not "train station" as I mistakenly called it) is unlocked on the third day of Summer. For whatever reason I misremembered this and thought for sure it unlocked in Spring. Sorry about this! I should've done my research before coming here to whine about non-existing problems.
Hello again. I'm still having trouble with trees spawning in the hot spring area, both on land and in the water. Or I should probably say on the water, since they spawn on top of the water's surface. But I managed to figure out a way to remove the trees, for now, by installing NoClipMode, so now I can noclip there with my tools and remove any tree and/or rock. But I also have come across another problem, or maybe a bug, that I haven't been able to solve. On the western side, below Grandpa's shrine, the tree stumps keep respawning daily no matter how many times I cut them down. Which's a good way to gather hardwood I guess, but I'd rather prefer to build something there instead.
Oh, and like some else already pointed out, the hot spring flickers during winter on my playthrough too.
I absolutely adore this map! It's perfect aesthetically and has the perfect amount of grass for landscaping & tillable land for farming for my playstyle. I also love that you kept the small pond near the farmhouse, and kept the farmhouse, grandpa's shrine, greenhouse, cave etc. pretty much near their original locations. It's like a perfect balance between the vanilla functionality & aesthetic and practical improvements. I started a brand new playthrough for this and I just can't wait for how pretty it will be.
That said, I don't know if you're still updating this mod but if you are, would it be possible to create a version where the swimming pond is a normal pond? I personally find the energy restoring pond too overpowered & prefer not to use it, but the area is so pretty that I hate that I find myself avoiding it.
Edit: Nevermind!! I took a look at the comments and also found the alternative entrances to the pond. It took me three in-game seasons, though, so maybe it would be good if they were more clearly marked...
I'm so in love with this farm, the design is gorgeous! The pond and pier, the cave entrance, the waterfall features, the hidden spring - everything! I was so intent on not messing with the vanilla maps but honestly, this is too brilliant too pass up. Oh and would you consider adding a config option to make this map replace the wilderness or riverlands farm instead? Just a thought, I obviously don't know if and how that would work
Hi, this is an awesome map, but could you please fix it so we can use tools in the swimming pond area? I can't clear debris and trees blocking the entrance. Thanks.

Great farm nonethless

Update: never mind I found the side entrance!
