RELEASED Tractor Mod *

@Pathoschild, Out of curiosity, why is the tractor disabled for multiplayer?

 

@paxchristos The game crashes trying to sync the custom Tractor and TractorGarage classes to other players. Custom classes in multiplayer isn't something we've figured out yet, so the mod safely disables itself.

 

Dang it! Just when my wife and myself were to going to be lazy and have a farm full of coffee beans. Looks like we're going to have to do it the hard way.

 

@paxchristos One option is to play in multiplayer until harvest day, switch back to single-player and use the tractor, and resume multiplayer on the next day. Not as fun as doing it together, though.

 

Hmm... good thinking, but if we wanted to be really lazy, then we'd have to do single player for plowing days and watering days... there wouldn't really be much time left for playing together.

 

are you planning on trying to fix it for multiplayer in the future?

 

Yep.

 

is there any way to make it so the pickaxe and hoe will clear weeds on the tractor? I've tried adding '"ClearWeeds": true' to them in the config and it doesn't work.

 

@Allayna Sure, I'll look into that for the next update.

 

@Allayna Those are implemented in the upcoming Tractor Mod 4.5-beta.3.

 

Tractor Mod 4.5-beta.3 is now available! (For Stardew Valley 1.3 beta only.)

Release notes:

• Added support for hoe and pickaxe clearing weeds.
• Added Spanish translations. (Thanks to alca259!)

 

Can't wait for this to work in multiplayer! Me and my friends are so excited to drive around on tractors. xD

 

Something odd has been happening for a bit, I think the seccond to last time stardew updated... When on the tractor and holding a tool, I looks and sounds like I only get the 1st 2 frames of the the animation. It's odd...
I recorded this while using a reskin, but I did text it with the normal tractor image as well
Example

 

@Allayna That's fixed in the upcoming Tractor Mod 4.5-beta.4. Thanks for reporting it!

 

Tractor Mod 4.5-beta.4 is now available! (For Stardew Valley 1.3 beta only.)

Release notes:

• Fixed tractor defaulting to cowboy hat.
• Fixed farmer sprite flickering in Stardew Valley 1.3.13+.

 

Is there any chance for this mod to somehow incorporate weapons function? Because right now, I noticed the only way to damage enemies while on the tractor is with the hoe equipped.

 

I second this.... because you can reskin the tractor to be a horse and charge into battle.

 

@Allayna @forevergent777 Done! In the upcoming 4.5-beta.5...

• You can use any melee weapon (disabled by default). This is pretty overpowered.
  
  
  
• You can use any slingshot, which will fire one projectile/tile/second in the aimed direction (disabled by default). This is immensely overpowered, but will consume ammo at a voracious rate.
  
  
• You're now invincible by default while riding the tractor.

 

Thank you very much!
