For those who are using PPJA mods...

[Amberbaum]

paradigmnomad just released their PPJA mods for Dynamic Game Assets - DGA. Dynamic Game Assets is a framework mod like Json Asset. It will be acting as a Json Assets replacement in the future and is trying to address the random ID scramble effect that JA mod items can suffer from.

I know that some of you in this community have suffered from ID scramble while using multiple mods that add new items such as crops. So I thought you might want to try out the PPJA mods made compatible with DGA:

I'm not sure which of my mods i will need to replace with this change. I have 65 mods installed and some of them are Json and PPJA. I've recently updated most of them to clean up my game,
And yes, every time i make a change, ID's of artisan items get changed into items that done even exist in the game. ...... Faberge wines??? Chicken broth wine??? They are weird.

[ChrillBill]

Thanks for sharing these fabulous news! I think I will try this on my next playthrough
which I am planning to load up with even more mods than I have now @.@

[Queen Droxxanna]

I'm a little confused how to proceed here. Do I need to uninstall json assets and all my mods that use it?? I recently just updated them. Then install the DGA and reinstall all the mods?
How is the best way to proceed here??
Could you please add some clarification instructions on to the Discription page.

You have to use the DGA compatible version. The JA version won't work with the DGA mod. The game will crash. As of right now, Json Assets is still widely used by a lot of other mods, so only remove it if you have no other mods requiring it. As far as I know only PPJA and a few other mods required DGA, as it is still pretty new, almost all other mods that adds in crops, items, etc. still required Json Assets.

If you want to use the PPJA redux version, then download DGA and the PPJA Redux version into your mods folder.

so does that mean I can have both Json assets and DGA at the same time.???

Yes. Don't uninstall the framework mods. Delete the old PPJA mods that use JSON Asset. Then install the PPJA Redux version that uses Dynamic Game Assets - DGA. If you are in winter right now. Maybe wait till new year to switch to PPJA Redux. Because I don't know if the PPJA Redux version recognizes your PPJA inventory items.

ok, so then i need to uninstall the PPJA Fresh Meats, Fruits & Veggies, and More Trees mods, then install all the new ones for DGA.
How will that effect all my fruits & veggies, trees crops and wines i have in my farm/house/shed and greenhouse??

[Amberbaum]

There is no guarantee that the DGA version will be recognized by your game as the old PPJA mod and will therefore carry over your PPJA crops or harvest. It would honestly surprise me if it did.

My advise: Make a backup of your newest save file. Copy it somewhere. If you don't know where to find it then the wiki has the save file locations:
https://www.stardewvalleywiki.com/Saves#Find_your_save_files

Once you finished making a backup of your save file, begin to clean out your mod folder of the old PPJA mods. You don't need to delete them, just copy them into a temporary folder you created somewhere else. Then install the DGA PPJA files and start your game to see if it still carries over your crops or not. If it doesn't then I recommend playing with the old PPJA version till the last day of the season you are in. Sell/gift all your PPJA items you own. Save the game on next season day 1. Exit the game. Proceed to install the DGA PPJA version.

Mind you DGA is the future when it comes to implementing new content, but it's still fresh. So expect some bugs. With that in mind you need to decide whether you keep playing with the Json Asset version and will therefore get constant ID shuffle problems or jump on the DGA train now or maybe later.

Lastely I don't know which of your PPJA mods require Mailframework mod and Producer Framework Mod. Both framework mods currently don't recognise DGA. So if these two mods are required by any of the PPJA mods you are using then it's best to stay with your old JSON Asset PPJA version until these two mods work with DGA.

ok, I just started in Fall, only on day 2 or 3. i have the big warehouse shed with over 100 sets of kegs, preserve jars, and casks working on all the different crops and fruits.
I've had to deal with spirit/name changes on items all the time. Like Dragon fruit wine suddenly becoming Elderberry wine when i add both to the same chest.
I've been testing out all kinds of mods on this farm, and when I know I have them all working, i intend to start a new farm using the Immersive farm 2 remastered. So I'm not worried about crop or inventory changes now. If DGA gets rid of all the constant changes in the future, I will be happy. I've had to reset to previous save file before when I tested out some new mods.
I will let you know if I run into a major glitch.

Great. I hope it works out for you. If DGA is acting up give SpaceChase0 a headsup on their DGA Nexus page. They have their comment section enabled, so most people use it to report bugs.

so I updated all the DGA files and tried to run my farm,
I ended up with a ton of confusing error messages, but the farm still loaded.

However, when i checked out the farm most of my lemonade products were gone from chests, 90% of meat and meat products were gone from chests and fridges,; half of my recipes were gone, even though I had installed the DGA more recipes;
And when I checked out side alot of my trees were GONE, even though I had installed the DGA MORE TREES.
SPIRITS of a lot of items in my inventory had disappeared, even though they were still in my inventory. but only showed up as tiny dots or were invisible.

So I uninstalled the DGA versions and put back the previous PPJA versions. My trees were back, lemonades were back, but all the meat products were still missing.

Really messed up my farm.
Don't know how I'm going to fix the mess, or weather I should just start a new farm.
I spend a long time organizing my warehouse and cellar , and now the items are all changed to strange items, Crops in my inventory now look like jewelry , and alot of my crops disappeared too from the garden.

guess i should have backed up my entire mod file, not just the mods i was changing

ALSO the latest version of SPACECORE 1,7 really messed up my file too, I had to go back to SPACECORE 1.62

once I went back and reinstalled the fresh meats mod from last month, It fixed every thing on my farm back to the way it was.
Guess i wont be able to update to DGA just yet.

I expected that to happen. The new mod doesn't necessarily understands that it replaces the old items. Guess you better run with the old PPJA files until DGA/etc. gets over it's rough edges or go nuke the old PPJA stuff from your farm like selling all the old items.

Did you save your game while running the DGA PPJA version? Have you tried to rollback the save from the previous day? SMAPI archives your previous saves in your save file location:

ya, I never saved with the DGA mods on, because the farm was such a mess, I was able to restart the day after I replaced the PPJA versions i had before, and I got all the missing items back, my meat fridges are full again. I will wait until I'm ready to start a new farm before re-trying the DGA mods. Still testing things out on this farm.
The DGA has a few mods included I haven't used yet as well. I have More Recipes, but not EVEN MORE Recipes.
I did figure out how to unfreeze my game when it froze up again today, so thats a relief.
