Farm Factory

Ever looked at your farm and thought it needed more conveyor belts? Farm Factory brings Factorio-style automation to Stardew Valley: conveyor belts with the items visibly riding on them, swinging inserters, splitters, burner drills, crop harvesters and assemblers. Everything is crafted, placed and rotated like normal machines, and the art is drawn in the game's own wood-copper-iron style so it fits right in.

Available in English and Russian.

What you can build

How it works

• Conveyor belts carry one stack per tile in the direction of the arrow. Side-loading works, and at the end of a line items drop into a chest or the shipping bin. You can even ride them.
• Inserters grab from behind and drop in front. They take from belts, chests and finished machines, and put into belts, chests, the shipping bin, drill fuel, assembler ingredients and any vanilla 1.6 machine (furnace, keg, preserves jar, crystalarium and so on). They are smart about it: from a chest they only pick what the target accepts, and they bring the full batch a machine needs (5 ore for a furnace). Coal goes into the furnace's fuel store. Hold an item and click an inserter to set a filter.
• Splitters alternate items between their front and their side.
• Burner drills run on coal (1 coal = 5 digs) and dig stone, ores, coal and quartz every 30 minutes, pushing the result forward.
• Crop harvesters pick ripe crops in the 5x5 area around them (quality follows your Farming level and fertilizer) and push them forward.
• Assemblers craft any crafting recipe you know from ingredients that inserters bring in. Click one to choose the recipe.
• The simulation runs everywhere on the host, even when you're somewhere else, and stops at night.

Controls

• R rotates the object under the cursor (Shift+R the other way). While holding a belt or inserter, R changes the placement direction, shown by an arrow under the cursor.
• Right-click a belt to take its item, or to put the held stack onto it.
• Right-click an inserter with an item to set a filter, or with an empty hand to clear it.
• Right-click a drill with coal to refuel it, and an assembler to pick a recipe.
• Hover over anything for its status: what it carries, fuel, ingredients, harvest area.
• Break objects with a pickaxe or axe, and their contents drop.

Config

Everything can be changed in Generic Mod Config Menu (optional) or in config.json: the rotate key, belt and inserter speeds, inserter stack size, drill speed and coal efficiency, harvester radius and speed, assembler craft time, whether belts feed chests, whether belts move the player, tooltips, and an option to unlock all recipes right away.

Requirements

• Stardew Valley 1.6.14+
• SMAPI 4.0+
• Generic Mod Config Menu (optional)

Installation

1. Install SMAPI.
2. Unzip the mod into your Mods folder.
3. Run the game through SMAPI.

Compatibility

• Works with vanilla machines through the game's own machine rules, so machines added by other mods that use the 1.6 machine data should work too.
• Multiplayer: every player needs the mod. The host runs the factory.
• Removing the mod: pick up your Farm Factory objects first.
