Common questions Where is the config.json file? Run the game once with the mod installed, and the config.json file will appear in the mod folder. (That applies for other SMAPI mods too, to avoid resetting your settings when you update.) I suggest using Generic Mod Config Menu instead of editing the file directly though.
Can I use the tractor in the greenhouse, mines, or island? Yep. Press Backspace by default to summon the tractor to your current position, no matter where you are.
I forgot my tractor in the mines, and now I can't summon it? Your tractor is sad you forgot it, and can't always escape on its own if you forget it in the mines (for technical reasons). It'll automatically reappear in its garage overnight if that happens though. You can also enable "summon without garage" in the mod settings to summon one before then.
Can I plant tree seeds with the tractor? Not really. You can add them as custom attachments in the mod settings, like this: "CustomAttachments": [ "Acorn", "Mahogany Seed", "Maple Seed", "Pine Cone" ], That will plant the seeds on every valid tile around the tractor though, which isn't usually what you want. Planting seeds in a spaced pattern isn't really in scope for how the tractor works, so something like Smart Building might be better for that.
Before asking for help or reporting a bug: When asking for help here, please upload your SMAPI log and add a link to your message. This has useful info like what versions you have, which mods are installed, what happened in the game, etc. Please do this even if you don't see an error in the log.
Hi! Did you change the tractor 'distance' option to a higher value? Due to how animations work in the game, sending many water-crop animations at once can overload the game's networking and cause a disconnect.
When using it, the tractor disappears as soon as you get off the vehicle. It needs to be summoned again. Is this normal? Besides, smapi didn't report any error. So I don't know the reason.
Hi! It sounds like you enabled "Can Summon Without Garage" in the options, and either didn't build a garage or there's no tractor available. Temporary tractors are dismissed automatically when you dismount.
Hello! Since two days ago I've been unable to launch my game. After checking the mods I realised Tractor Mod is the couse of this issue - when I remove it the game launches just fine. Here is the link to my SMPAPI log, I have removed all mods except Tractor Mod from my game. https://smapi.io/log/ded2730dec75440ca35c7938dc929436
Hi! That's a game bug which happens when any mod edits audio (not just Tractor Mod). It should hopefully be fixed in upcoming versions of the game, but for now you can avoid the error by either...
plugging in speakers or headphones (even if they're muted);
or disabling tractor sounds in the Tractor Mod options.
Hi! That error means the game couldn't connect to the Steam backend (unrelated to Tractor Mod). Can you make sure you're launching SMAPI through the Steam client to fix that?
HELLO~The SMAPI on my old computer is an old version of the tractor mod that can run old versions. But my new computer is a new SMAPI, the old tractor mod will remind me to update the version, and the new tractor mod will report an error; [game] Error loading sound: D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Stardew Valley\Mods\TractorMod\assets\audio\start.ogg Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Audio.NoAudioHardwareException (0x80004005): Audio has failed to initialize. Call SoundEffect.Initialize() before sound operation to get more specific errors.

A new bug has been found. There is no error log. The game is stuck. I have installed so many mods that I can't count them. The tractor is stuck in the mountain meadow farm in East Scap Village. At the beginning, I summoned the tractor to clear the grass and it was fine when I cleared the stones. When I got off the tractor, the game was stuck. I don't know if it's a problem with the tractor or the East Scap Village... My game version is 1.6.15
Love your Tractor Mod, I cannot play Stardew without it! I was just curious if it was possibly to work in a keybind for configuring the tool effect area? I know that the mod Questable Tractor has it but I've other mods in place that might conflict with that.
I'd definitely like that option. I use a stream deck and program various mod key bindings with it (show/hide minimap, show/hide automate overlay, etc.)
Yes, that would be VERY handy! I frequently change the size and not having to go in to the mod menu every time would be a game changer! Thank you very much!
Done in the upcoming Tractor Mod 4.24.0, which adds two new keybinds ('increase distance' and 'reduce distance'). The keybinds change the distance until you reload the save, and highlight the new range for a few seconds after you change it:
I tried to add tree seeds using the line in the stickied comment but instead got this error https://smapi.io/log/7e7670245dd643559a3a476d982f53e6 What did I do wrong?
Hi! You made a mistake while editing the file, so the format is no longer valid. I suggest deleting the config.json file, then using Generic Mod Config Menu to edit the settings instead.
Hi! I have an addition to this. Have you noticed a specific tool doing this? I find it happens specifically when I jump on the tractor holding the iridium scythe. Will update with further behavior testing shortly, but it seems to happen intermittently and the "crash" freezes the game until it is manually closed in my experience. I've looked at my own logs when this happens and have not seen any errors at the end, either.
Happens repeatedly for me as well Happens if I'm holding most tools There is no red texts in SMAPI so I can't figure out what is happening Wonder if it has something to do with the Sunberry mod

I dont know how to deal with...

here's the log: https://smapi.io/log/74a87734e63a42dab36bcdba8207c04a
If so, can you post your log after it happens? (Even if there's no error, there might be other hints in the log about what's happening.)
Happens if I'm holding most tools
There is no red texts in SMAPI so I can't figure out what is happening
Wonder if it has something to do with the Sunberry mod
It sadly isn't solved by having a audio source plugged in
I haven't had a crash since I did that
