Farm Type Manager (FTM)

Despite the name, Farm Type Manager (FTM) is a framework that allows other mods to spawn objects and monsters anywhere in the game. It can also customize objects and monsters in unique ways. Modders can configure or randomize the number of objects spawned per day, where and when they spawn, and more.

Installation

1. Install the latest version of SMAPI.
2. Download FarmTypeManager from the Releases page on GitHub, Nexus Mods, or ModDrop.
3. Unzip FarmTypeManager into your Stardew Valley\Mods folder.

If you use other mods that require FTM, then you’re all set!

Translation

FTM supports translation of its Generic Mod Config Menu (GMCM) setting names and descriptions.

The mod will load a file from the FarmTypeManager/i18n folder that matches the current language code. If no matching translation exists, it will use default.json.

See the Stardew Valley Wiki's Modding:Translations page for more information. Please feel free to submit translation files through GitHub, Nexus Mods, ModDrop, or Discord.

Commands

This mod adds the following commands to SMAPI's console.

These commands require the Console Commands mod, which is installed automatically by SMAPI. They can also be disabled in FTM's config.json file if desired. See Mod Settings.

whereami

Enter whereami in SMAPI's console to display information about the current map, including:

• The map's name (e.g. "Farm" or "BusStop")
• Your current tile's X/Y coordinates
• The tile's terrain type (e.g. "Dirt" or "Stone")
• Whether the tile is "Diggable" with tools
• The tile's image index number (used to identify "Quarry" tiles or set up the "Custom" tile list)

list_monsters

Enter list_monsters in SMAPI's console to display a list of available monster names to use with the MonsterName spawn setting.

The command will list the primary name of each monster from Stardew Valley itself, and then scan other mods for custom monster classes.

The full provided name should be used in the MonsterName setting. Example: "MyModName.CustomMonster"

remove_items

Enter remove_items in SMAPI's console to delete items or objects from the game world. This may be useful for certain objects that players can't remove normally.

The command supports these formats:

Format | Description -------|------------ remove_items | Removes an item directly in front of the player. remove_items <x> <y> | Removes an item from the specified tile of the player's current location (a.k.a. map). Example: remove_items 10 20 remove_items permanent | Removes all items spawned by FTM with "CanBePickedUp" set to false, at the player's current location (a.k.a. map). Designed to clean up after FTM content pack bugs.

Mod Settings

These settings are in the config.json file, which is in the mod's main folder: Stardew Valley\Mods\FarmTypeManager. They change the behavior of the mod itself, rather than a specific farm or content pack.

Name | Valid settings | Description -----|----------------|------------ EnableConsoleCommands | true, false | Enables or disables this mod's commands in the SMAPI console. This may be helpful if other mods use similar command names. EnableContentPacks | true, false | Enables or disables any installed content packs for FTM. If disabled, only "personal" content files in the FarmTypeManager/data folder will be used. EnableTraceLogMessages | true, false | Enables or disables [TRACE]-level messages in the SMAPI error log. EnableEPUDebugMessages | true, false | Enables or disables debug messages when Expanded Preconditions Utility (EPU) is used to check preconditions. MonsterLimitPerLocation | An integer (minimum 0), or null | If a single map already contains this number of monsters, the mod will skip spawning any additional monsters there. Use this setting if your content packs are spawning too many monsters, causing Stardew to run slowly.

Spawn Settings

The settings below control how FTM spawns objects and monsters. The settings are found in each content pack's content.json file. Creating/loading a farm will also generate a "personal" content file for that farm in the FarmTypeManager\data folder. Personal content files are named after the farm's save data folder, such as FarmerName_12345.json.
