What this mod does
Stardust Core is the base library for Omegasis’s mods: it contains shared code those mods need to work. On its own it does nothing in the game.
Which mods need it
- Happy Birthday, which gives the player a birthday with gifts and messages from the villagers.
- Stardew Symphony Remastered, which changes how the valley’s music sounds.
- Other mods by Omegasis: Nexus counts more than 20 that use it.
Requirements and compatibility
It only needs SMAPI. Version 3.1.1 (November 24, 2024, 133 KB) updates the minimum SMAPI version in the manifest; 3.1.0 was released for 1.6 with shared code for the author’s future mods. Nexus marks it as compatible with 1.6 and with Android.
The author clarifies that it accesses the game’s save serializer, but that this doesn’t change how your save is stored. Version 3.0.1 fixed a bug when triggering events from mods like Happy Birthday, which 2.8.0 already updated automatically.
As a player, only install it if an Omegasis mod asks for it, and keep it updated along with them. It has no text to translate.
