Better RNG is a Stardew Valley mod which makes the game's randomness more random.

Contents

Install

  1. Install the latest version of SMAPI.
  2. Install this mod from the releases page.
  3. Run the game using SMAPI.

Use

You can edit the config.json file to change the mod's settings.

The mod will...

  • Completely redefine the game's random number generator (RNG) to use a Mersenne Twister Generator for random happenings. This can't be turned off. If you understood how the game handles RNG, you would understand why. Everything else in the mod can be configured as desired.

  • Randomise daily luck every morning using the new RNG.

  • Randomise tomorrow's weather every morning based on the configured chance values (including the probability of sun, clouds or light snow, rain, lightning storm, or blizzard).

    Note that some days of the game have hardcoded weather, so the weather on those days can't be changed. That means the weather channel may be wrong in rare cases.

Configure

A config.json will appear in the mod's folder after you run the game once. You can optionally open the file in a text editor to configure the mod. If you make a mistake, just delete the file and it'll be regenerated.

For the weather fields, you specify their weight relative to the other weathers. For example, two weathers set to 1 have an equal chance of being chosen. The actual values you choose only matter as a proportion to the sum; the defaults sum to 100, but that's not required.

Available fields:

field purpose
EnableDailyLuckOverride Whether to randomise your daily luck. Default false.
EnableWeatherOverride Whether to randomise tomorrow's weather. Default false.
SunnyChance The weight for sunny weather when randomising weather. Default 60.
CloudySnowyChance The weight for debris weather (e.g. blowing leaves, wind, etc) when randomising weather. Default 15.
RainyChance The weight for rain when randomising weather. Default 15.
StormyChance The weight for storms when randomising weather. Default 5.
HarshSnowyChance The weight for snow when randomising weather. Default 5.

Compatibility

  • Works with Stardew Valley 1.6.9+ on Linux/macOS/Windows.
  • Works in single-player, multiplayer, and split-screen. Some things may use the main player's RNG.
  • No known mod conflicts.
