Whip out that rod and get shiny hunting, this mod adds shiny fish variations of every fish to the game with configurable shiny rates, pond respawn rates, price and difficulty multipliers.
Whenever you catch a fish, there is a small chance for that fish to be a "Shiny" variation. Shiny Variations are worth more, are slightly more difficult to catch, and can make for pretty cool collectables!
For the committed shiny hunters, you can now boost your odds through fishing in a fish frenzy, bubble spots, increasing your luck level and earning the elusive Shiny Charm (gotten from Willy after catching every fish).
Shiny fish are visually distinct and will have a star/"Shiny" next to their name to indicate shininess.
Along with all the base game fish, all fish in Visit Mount Vapius (VMV), East Scarp (ES) and Stardew Valley Expanded (SVE) have shiny variations!
Shiny fish are not included in the fishing collection.
Configuration
Shiny rate is a base 1%, and is configurable to be between 0.1% (1/1000) and 100% (1/1).
This shiny rate will also increase for fish in a Frenzy, increase when fishing in a bubble spot, increase slightly with luck level (5% per level), and increase after you get the shiny charm! The amount by which these increases impact the game is also configurable (1-10x).
The price multiplier for shiny fish is a base 5x, but can be configured between 0.1x and 20x.
The difficulty multiplier for shiny fish is a base 120% but can be configured between 10% and 1000%.
If you perfer the use of "Shiny " instead of a star in the shiny fish names, enable the "ReplaceStar" config.
When placed in a fish pond, shiny fish will spawn every 20 days by default, but this can be configured to be between 1 day and 500.
||WHEN SET TO 1, SHINY VARIATIONS WILL HAVE THE SAME SPAWN RATE AS THEIR NON_SHINY VARIANTS||
Translations / Compatibility
This mod contains an i18n file for translation support. You are open to post your own translations or send them to me.
This mod should be fully compatible with other mods which change, add, or remove fish, though new fish will not always have shiny variants. I require permission from mod authors if I want to create shiny variants.
