Overview

Machine Input Return is a Stardew Valley mod that allows you to retrieve ingredients from processing machines before they finish. Have you ever put something valuable in a machine and immediately regretted it? Now you can get those items back! Simply right-click or break a processing machine to cancel the operation and retrieve your input materials.

Features

Retrieve Machine Inputs: Right-click or break any processing machine (furnace, keg, preserves jar, etc.) to cancel the process and get your items back.
Time Restrictions: Configure when inputs can be retrieved based on processing completion percentage.
Quality Preservation: All retrieved items maintain their original quality level.
Input Recovery on Breakage: If a machine is broken while processing, your input items will automatically drop to the ground.
