This Mod aims to rebalance Item Prices and Crafting Recipes to generally slow down progression and make Foraging and exploring the Mines more rewarding. Generally, all item prices have been lowered, reducing income. Some more than others (e.g. Blueberries). I modded my hours to last 1 minute (up from 42 seconds) and played over 70 hours in total. I don't recommend using this mod for your first playthrough. I only played about 10 hours with this mod in use so far and thus would really appreciate feedback and help in testing. This is my first Mod and I only changed values in the .xnb files. Therefore this does not require SMAPI or STORM to be installed. What has been done so far: Crops/Foraging/Fruit Minerals Fish Crafting Recipes TODO: Cooking - Cooked items have not been touched so far and might be really overpowered. Blueprints (Barn, Stables, House etc.) Backpack - I would like to lower the Backpack upgrade prices but could not find the entry yet. Seed Maker - Maybe change Farming level requirement and blueprint to make the player more independent.

Download and extract 2. Make a back-up of CraftingRecipes.xnb and ObjectInformation.xnb in [your installation path]\Stardew Valley\Content\Data 3. Copy the CraftingRecipes.xnb and ObjectInformation.xnb from the mod folder (step 1) into your Starbound Valley folder (step 3). Example: C:\Steam\SteamApps\common\Stardew Valley\Content\Data Update 1: Fixed some entries I missed the first time. Further adjusted crops and seed prices (no longer quite as profitable to turn crops into seeds and sell those instead). Made a spreadsheet with Crops Seasonal prices. You can compare values to the wiki here.
Yea, it works - at least for me. It also changes prices accordingly in your collection and also affects quest rewards - I really could use some feedback on that one.
This has to do with how the game is coded. The yaml you changed is only used when a new instance is created. So a stack of slimes made from a newly killed slime would have the new price, but your stacks in your inventory would have the old price, as they were created before the file was changed. Cant say how it interacts with dropped and split stacks though, as i haven't tried it yet.
HOLY SHIT, Were do i donate to you to keep this going! Dude this is what i have been begging modders for over a week. I have felt the following needed to be addresed. 1. item prices, (me personaly by end of year 1 had over 1 million and every item purchased in game). Far to easy to make gold. 2. ore from mines, Way to easy to get! Each day would gather stacks of ore and had tons of bars really fast from smelting. 3. monester dificulty. Way to easy to slay monsters. your mod solves my first issue with the game and i am at work so i cant try the mod but i would love to apply it later and let you know how it goes. So far on my new save game i have just been keeping 1/3 of harvestables (plants i grow). 1/4 of logs / stone / ore. This helped me feel like the game was rewarding and fun. I really hope the change in price makes the game more challanging If i knew how to edit the xnb price lists like you i would set them even lower to create what i would like known as nightmare mode. Here is my original thread requesting a mod just like the one you made. http://community.playstarbound.com/threads/mod-request-make-game-harder.113215/#post-2869737
Yessss please continue this I have full support cause I have a money sickness when it comes to games to have a ton of it after but then it has a side effect of boringness after year 1 and a half in stardew valley I don't have any thing to spend money and the I got bored of the game. This will alleviate that easy money in stardew valley especially starfruits oh don't tell me even about that and prolong game hours and strive to have more money and spend it wisely this time. I also really hate roleplaying I tried but I'm not good at it and it makes it boring for me.
Just an FYI, you can stop looking for the backpack price, its hardcoded into the game, it would require a API mod in order to override that behaviour.
Thanks, you two! Since there is now a 1.1 version I will come back and play this game again, but I have too much going on to support this mod any further. @fmydog I saw you created a hardcore mod of your own so I will definitely try it out. Initially I had hoped the developers would eventually add a hard mode to the vanilla game.
