Starfield Pastoral Friendship

A lightweight friendship tweak for Starfield Pastoral that stops NPC friendship from decaying, removes the weekly gift limit, and lets you set any NPC's friendship level directly — all from an in-game config screen.

[WARNING] Please remember that this mod is still under development. It may cause issues, lag the game, or not work as intended. Please report any bugs so I can improve it!

What it does

• No Friendship Decay – NPC friendship points never drop below the highest value they've ever reached, even if you don't talk to or gift an NPC for a while.
• Infinite Gifts – removes the weekly 2-gift limit for every NPC, so you can give as many gifts as you want.
• Set Friendship – pick any NPC and set their friendship directly in hearts, without needing to talk to them or give gifts at all.

Supported NPCs

Abigail, Alex, Bouncer, Caroline, Clint, Club Seller, Demetrius, Dwarf, Elliott, Emily, Evelyn, George, Governor, Gunther, Gus, Haley, Harvey, Henchman, Jas, Jodi, Joja Cashier, Krobus, Leah, Lewis, Linus, Marlon, Marnie, Maru, Mister Qi, Morris, Pam, Penny, Pierre, Robin, Sam, Sandy, Sebastian, Shane, Vincent, Willy, Wizard

Configuration

Open Mods → Starfield Pastoral Friendship → Config in-game (or edit starfieldpastoralfriendship-common.toml in your config folder directly):

• No Friendship Decay – toggles the decay prevention on/off.
• Infinite Gifts – toggles the weekly gift limit removal on/off.
• Set Friendship – opens a sub-category with one field per NPC. Enter the number of hearts you want (0–8 for marriage candidates, 0–10 for everyone else) and it's applied automatically within a second — the field then resets itself back to -1 (do nothing), ready for the next time you want to change that NPC's friendship.

Known issues

• Setting a value is checked once per second, so it can take up to a second to apply, and only affects players who are online at that moment.
• The hearts shown in the friendship tooltip during a conversation use a universal 0–14 scale, while the Social menu and this mod's config use each NPC's real limit (8 or 10) — so the numbers won't always match, that's expected.
• Lowering an NPC's friendship below its current value works, but if you're also using No Friendship Decay, the new lower value becomes the new "floor" — it won't decay further, but it also won't be pushed back up on its own.
