Immersive Farm 2

Before installing, please read the ENTIRE description page as this mod is more involved to install than others

IMMERSIVE FARM 2

FEATURES
- Dedicated Farming Fields
- Dedicated Animal Fields (The entrances have invisible walls that prevent animals from escaping)
- Relocated and expanded Greenhouse. Now has space for 360+ Crops (Optimized for vanilla Iridium Sprinkler) and 12 Fruit Trees
- Relocated and expanded Cave. The Cave has 3 minecart shortcuts that provide quick access to remote areas of the farm
- Minecart network access on the Farm and Cave. However the Cave version can not be traveled to from other areas
- A few other shortcuts around the farm
- Second Entrance to the Bus Stop
- A new area on the west side of the farm which connects to the Secret Woods
- Permanent 'Shed' to place your kegs and whatnot
- Spa/pool to recover Energy (Locked behind Steel Axe and Pickaxe to prevent cheating in early game)
- A Tunnel to the Pool
- A matching World Map
- Quarry (Requires optional mod)
- Forageables (Requires optional mod)
- Many custom tiles / sprites made by me, and others
- 2 Versions available: 1 with less debris, and 1 with more debris

Use the computer at the Minecart near the Quarry to go back to the FarmCave. This is a temporary solution for using the Minecart System to travel to the Cave until Entoarox updates his mod to support the Cave (maybe? never?)



REQUIRED MODSFirst of all, none of the required mods are actually required. It doesnt even require SMAPI. They just make it easier to manage your mods, and custom farm types adds the features from other default farm types so you can have all of them on 1 map. 

This mod does not contain any of the required mods files. You must still download those seperately!
Some of these mods require a registered account on a different website to download

SMAPI 2.5+
Xnb Loader
Entoarox Framework
Custom Farm TypesSpaceCoreContent Patcher

And I recommend to install 7zip for easy drag and drop installation of the downloaded files
Download 7zip

OPTIONAL MODS
These mods are not required for the map to work, however they are required for the intended experience
Extended Minecart
Forage at the Farm
Mining at the Farm


INCOMPATIBLE MODS: READ THIS!!!
This mod changes a few files that are frequently used by popular mods.
BusStop.xnb
FarmCave.xnb
Forest.xnb
Greenhouse.xnb
Woods.xnb

houses.xnb is now fully compatible with house replacer mods thanks to content patcher
Seasonal Immersion can be made compatible with instructions further below (if you know how to make content patcher and seasonal immersion compatible please pm me)

Mods that change the interface colour, will have their text in the original colour because this mod adds a downwards pointing arrow to the font file. It's a very easy fix so let me know about any mods that change the interface colour. (fix available in optional file for Starry Sky Interface and Vintage Interface)


INSTALLATION: READ THIS!!!
While this mod is installed, you can not play on a different farm map. For the least amount of issues, I recommend first making a complete backup of your entire Stardew Valley folder, and installing this mod in there so that you can continue playing on different save files in your main folder.


1. Download all required and optional mods listed above and install them first
2. Download this mod and read the included txt files
3. Extract Content & Mods folders in my mod to where you installed Stardew Valley. (\Steam\steamapps\common\Stardew Valley). If you are asked to overwrite a file, then that file was added by a mod. This mod does not affect any vanilla files
4. If you want Foraging and Mining on the farm, you must read the readme inside Optional folder and follow the instructions
5. In character creation screen, scroll down on the farm types and choose either default immersive farm 2 or more debris version
6. When in game you might need to advance to the second day before quitting (dont quit on day 1 before sleeping) it might cause glitched debris to spawn


ALTERNATIVE INSTALLATIONONLY use this version if there are any issues with Custom Farm Types and/or XnbLoader. It has less features than the main version.
You do not need ANY of the mods listed in the requirements to install this version

Download the "overwrite version" file and follow the instructions in the readmes

OPTIONAL COMPATIBILITY MODS
If you have any of the following mods, also download optional compatibility file:
Eemies map recolour
Karmyllas Immersive Map Edits
Starry Sky Interface
Vintage Interface Mod


UNINSTALLATION
If you did decide to install this mod in your main Stardew Valley folder and now regret it, here are the steps required to uninstall it

1. Navigate to StardewValley/Mods and delete ImmersiveFarm_2 folder

2. Navigate to StardewValley/Mods/XnbLoader/ModContent/

3. In the following folders: LooseSprites, Maps, Strings, Delete the following files:

4. LooseSprites
Font_bold.xnb
Map.xnb

5. Maps
BusStop.xnb
FarmCave.xnb
Forest.xnb
Greenhouse.xnb
Woods.xnb

6. Strings
StringsFromMaps.xnb

7. This mod adds a few other files in the Content folder, however it is completely optional to remove these as they only affect this farm map. Search in the StardewValley/Content folder for the following things (without quotes) "_extras", "_inverted" Remove any files it finds (should be 2 of each)

8. This mod uses "Extended Minecart" mod for travel with the minecart to a custom location. If you want to play on a different map you should remove its config.json file


HOW TO MAKE YOUR OWN COMPATIBLE HOUSES FOR SEASONAL IMMERSION
To correctly edit the images, you must use an advanced image editing software like Paint.net, GIMP, Photoshop
MICROSOFT PAINT DOES NOT WORK !!!
Paint.net download
GIMP download

This guide uses paint.net as example. I dont use GIMP so I cant help you there but it should be roughly the same.

1. Navigate to StardewValley/Mods/SeasonalImmersion/ContentPack
2. Inside each of the Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter folders, open the houses.png file with Paint.net
3. In the topleft corner click on "Tool". Next click on "Rectangle Select"
4. Drag this rectangle over both broken and fixed Greenhouses until it covers all of them (be sure not to remove part of the house), and press DEL on your keyboard
5. Press CTRL+S on your keyboard to save the picture and press OK when prompted.
6. Repeat for all 4 seasons


KNOWN ISSUES / BUGS
- Default Debris spawning everywhere
Caused by quitting the game on the first day. Advance to atleast day 2 before quitting the game. (might have other cause as well)

- Game loads intro even if the option to skip it is selected, and then crashes after Lewis and Robin scene
Caused by incorrectly edited map files / more unknown reasons. please let me know if this is caused by my mod

- Corrupted Textures
Restart the game and Reinstall the mod (Try installing it several times in a row, the files can get damaged while copying them the first time)

- Character / furniture / buildings clipping
Tell me where (Shadows clipping, and Grass clipping can not be fixed)

- Wrong teleport location in other maps and greenhouse invisible in other maps
While this mod is installed, it is not possible to play on any other farm maps

- Greenhouse on top of water
You have not installed all required mods or installed it incorrectly, or if you have seasonalimmersion, you must follow the instructions above

- Greenhouse unlocked from the start
Side effect of changing its location and making it bigger

- Character facing wrong way after using minecart
I can't fix that without completely redesigning the cave
