This is a continuation of Gem Isles by aedenthorn
Description
This mod adds procedurally-generated islands to the Gem Sea with random flora, fauna,
minerals, artifact spots, and even the odd treasure chest.
To access the islands you will need some way to traverse the water. The one that comes to mind is the Swim - Continued mod but there might be others. Travel south of the beach or forest to enter into the island areas.
Features
Each island screen has a random number of islands with a random assortment of features, taken from the following list:
Notes
Number of islands per map, feature chance per island, and feature amounts can
all be customized in the config.json file created when first running
with this mod.
The mod keeps track of where you are relative to the beach and continues to create new maps of islands wherever you go as
long as you stay south of the beach.
Once you travel north far enough to be parallel to the beach, it brings you back to the beach no
matter how far west or east you were.
It remembers areas you have been to for that day, so if you travel to an area you've already
visited, it will have the same islands as before.
Each new day, all islands are generated anew.
Technical
Requires SMAPI, doesn't use Harmony.
Code is at https://github.com/CyanFireUK/StardewValleyMods.
