Farm Cave Framework

This is a framework mod that lets you use Content Patcher to add more options to the farm cave setup event with Demetrius.

There is also a config option to reset the cave and have Demetrius ask you again which setup you would like.

Warning: Resetting the cave layout after previously choosing one with this mod removes all objects previously placed in the cave in order to setup for a new cave type.

Mods that use this framework:

• Bats and Mushrooms Farm Cave
  
• Lumisteria FCF Artifact Field
• Meat Vat Farm Cave
• Mineral Duggy Farm Cave
• Pagan Bunny Farm Cave

Let me know if you create a mod that uses this framework!


Creating Custom Setups

There are currently two types of setup, following the vanilla types:

• Fixed stations that produce items daily like the mushroom bins
• Random appearing items like bat fruit

Note that this mod doesn't actually cause stations to produce items like the mushroom bins - I recommend using the Custom Object Production mod to add station production.

Content Patcher format is as follows:

<br />}

objects is a list of stations, resources is a list of random items that might drop. A setup can use both at once if desired. resourceChance is out of 100 - the game will keep trying to add random resources to an empty tile until this chance fails.


Note: Animations (bat eyes, flying bats, etc.) and sounds (bat flap, screechs, etc.) are still a WIP
