Custom Starter Package

Replace the 15 parsnip seeds you get at the beginning of the game with whatever seeds, items, weapons, tools, clothing, etc. you want.

This mod lets you replace the starter package contents in the farmhouse with a list you create using Content Patcher.

I have include an example pack in the Files tab. A basic content.json file looks like this:

{
<br />&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;"Format": "1.23.0",
<br />&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;"Changes": [
<br />&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;{
<br />&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;"Action": "EditData",
<br />&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;"Target": "aedenthorn.CustomStarterPackage/dictionary",
<br />&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;"Entries": {
<br />&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;"aedenthorn.CSPTestCP/ParsnipSeeds": {
<br />&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;"NameOrIndex": "Parsnip Seeds",
<br />&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;"Type": "Object",
<br />&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;"MinAmount": 15,
<br />&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;"MaxAmount": 20,
<br />&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;"ChancePercent": 100,
<br />&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;"MinQuality": 0,
<br />&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;"MaxQuality": 0
<br />&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;}
<br />&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;}
<br />&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;}
<br />&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;]
<br />}

Entry keys must be unique; you can install multiple content packs and each will add its own items to the package.

NameOrIndex can be either the key (index) or the first field (name) in the item's data file (e.g. Data/ObjectInformation)
Type can be one of the following:
Object - uses Data/ObjectInformation
Chest - uses Data/ObjectInformation
BigCraftable - uses Data/BigCraftablesInformationHat - uses Data/hats
Boots - uses Data/BootsClothing - uses Data/ClothingInformationRing - uses Data/ObjectInformationFurniture - uses Data/FurniturePickaxe - put the upgrade level in NameOrIndex (e.g. 3 for Gold)Axe - put the upgrade level in NameOrIndex (e.g. 3 for Gold)FishingRod - put the upgrade level in NameOrIndex
Hoe - put the upgrade level in NameOrIndex (e.g. 3 for Gold)WateringCan - put the upgrade level in NameOrIndex (e.g. 3 for Gold)MeleeWeapon - uses Data/weapons
Pan
Shears
use MinAmount and MaxAmount for items that can stack
ChancePercent means the chance that the item gets included
use MinQuality and MaxQuality for items that have quality (e.g. crop harvest)
