Great mod, though it appears to have stopped working for me. For the first five weeks of in-game time, it would spawn artifact spots. Now for about two weeks of in-game time I've gotten zero artifact spots. Nothing at all appearing in the SMAPI log (I think it is supposed to show how many spots were generated where?). Any ideas?
I wonder if there is a conflict with the Farm Anywhere mod.
I successfully mapped a few locations around Robin's house in the Mountains for everyone until the mod is updated.
NOTE: You must have unlocked the Train Station/Bath House area in order for this to work. (I'm not sure why since those are listed as separate locations by the game. /shrug)
Instructions:
Copy the mod to the SV mods folder then run the game once to generate the config.json file.
Open the config.json file in Notepad or some other text reader/editor.
Click or move your cursor to the front of the line that says "Farm": [
Special Note: If you want to isolate a specific area:
{*] Backup your config.json file
Delete all areas except the one(s) you want. To delete the area, highlight from the double quotation mark at the beginning of the area's name all the way to the ], at the bottom of its section and delete it.
The final 5 lines of the config file should be the last set of coordinates followed by one line with a bracket then three lines with a curly bracket on each line. Example: "49, 71" ] } } }
i had to download the config.json file separately since it didnt download with the other stuff, and i don't see any of this in there when i use notepad to open it. any idea why?
Hmm. For whatever reason this is not working for me. It simply is not recognizing "Mountain" as a valid location: I tried deleting every location BUT that and it spawned 0 spots. Before, when it was simply appended on to the ones that are included, the other locations worked, but none appeared on the mountain. Any advice?
I just tested it an I think it must have something to do with how far you are into the game or something. Like which locations you've visited. On a new farm I created for testing purposes, I tried using my instructions above and it didn't work - 0 spawned. I hadn't really taken my character off of the farm so I tried walking to Robin's house and trying again - 0 spawned.
When I loaded my game where I have a ton of progress, these instructions work fine. I don't know what triggers the ability to use this and I'm confused as heck. How far are you into the game? Have you already met Gunther? I wonder if that's it, but I haven't tested.
Meadow farm seems to react bad with the mod. And often times I somehow have spawn spots off the view of the map. With Auto Forger and it based on my magnet limit and many magnet rings, I have artifacts flying at me when I check the top left of the beach map.
Does anyone know if previous versions work still? This mod basically breaks the museum/makes it a bit harder because it either doesnt work in or removes the spawning in the desert, mountains, and ginger island.
Edit: Version 1.1.0 works with the current version of Stardew valley.
Which version was it that you tested and is working? I thought this mod just added additional spots on certain maps... it doesn't disable the normally artifact spot spawns in the other areas, does it?
As far as I know, 1.1.0 simply increases artifact spawn rates. it alters the code permanently so the increased spawn rates stay the same even if you remove the mod, but you can just adjust the amount in the config first to make it more like vanilla.
1.4.1 however was released with the mountains having zero artifacts spawning, and with wonky distribution to other locations such as the desert and town.
So use version 1.1.0. It works with the recent release. the only drawback is they might spawn where you can't reach them.
Edit: Also the artifacts spawning in areas you can't reach is less likely to happen if you keep the numbers a bit lower. I have SVE, Walk to the Desert, Ridgeside Valley, and East Scarp installed and 100 dig spots so far has not caused any bad spawning locations. Edit 2: You can also use no clip to get to them too if it really bothers you.
I downloaded the dirt-only one first, when you say it permanently alters the save file -- do you know if I need to do anything special to get this mod working on Ginger Island too, or can I simply delete the dirt version and install 1.0.0?
I do believe the recent versions have a command that removes modded in spawns, so i would enact it first, remove the file, and then put in 1.1.0. I simply removed 1.4.0 and it all worked perfectly, so you might be able to do that as well, but def do the command just to be sure.
My guess is not at this time. If you look at the config file, it only says artifact, and the new spots are seed dig spots. I know nothing about coding but that is my guess. It would be nice to have that added to this mod.
edit: also further down in the comments, the mod author says that it is planned for a future update. Very excited to find more seeds!!
Does anybody know if there is a way to make this work in Grampelton Fields? I so need to fill that with artifact spots and just mow it down with the tractor. 😁

I hope this helps someone!
When I loaded my game where I have a ton of progress, these instructions work fine. I don't know what triggers the ability to use this and I'm confused as heck. How far are you into the game? Have you already met Gunther? I wonder if that's it, but I haven't tested.
I added the lines to the config and mountains is working but not railroad.
Is it possilble to change the "distribution" of spots in different areas?
Like: Spawning less spots in Town and more in the Desert and the Backwoods?
Is there some console command which I missed?
Thanks for this Mod btw. :)
