Snow yams as drops from mobs in mine...? Which mod added that?

[Magden]

I always "knew" this dropped in the mines, but am now learning it... doesn't?

I must have had a mod pre-1.6 that added snow yams as drops from mobs in the mines (and maybe from tilling snow in the mines). Anyone have any idea what mod might have done that? Only one that I can think of that I used to use but don't anymore is "Love of Cooking".

Thanks,

That was no mod. Pre 1.6 snow yams as drops or tillable were vanilla.

So 1.6 changed it and now you can't get snow yams in the mines? I don't see it in the patch notes. Everywhere I look all I see is people claiming it was never possible, but I was always able to find them in the mines in all my pre-1.6 runs...

I just got a holly from the merchant and got all excited about completing the bridge on Fall 1 of year 1... -.-

You are probably mistaking Snow Yam and Winter Root. Winter Root can drop from blue slimes. No idea on mods.

Edit: and normal Yams can drop for duggies.

I get what you mean, but I went back to a previous save file where I'm still in fall of year 1 and I have 4 snow yams. I used to complete the bridge in fall 1 in playthroughs when I got certain winter forageables from the merchant. I guess it was a mod.

It's possible to complete winter bundle even without mods - as long as you have access to the Desert and Greenhouse.
Desert trader trades seasonal forage seeds - you can trade one season for another (I don't remember which one you need to trade for Winter seeds - either Spring or Fall, you can check on the wiki). So - trade those, and plant Winter seeds in the Greenhouse. In a week (or faster if you use fertilizers) you will get your forage. Done!

couldn't the new raccoon thing also let you get winter seeds early?

The raccoon doesn't show up the first year.

[happybjorn]

The raccoon's wife runs the shop and sells the new seeds (Carrot, Squash, etc.), pretty sure she doesn't sell Winter Seeds. So you would have to complete the Community Center (or Joja) and finish the first raccoon request even if it were possible.

Completing the Greenhouse before Fall requires absurd luck, going the Joja route, or mods. The Community Center bundle requires the Travelling Cart to have a Pumpkin and Eggplant before the end of Summer year 1 (and this is assuming not using remixed bundles, which can make it impossible to complete the Community Center bundle before Fall)

That information is false. After you fix the greenhouse (maybe you did that in year 2), the raccoon gets out of the greenhouse in shambles and there is a tiny daily chance for the event of the giant tree falling, which starts the raccoon's quest

But then again, the raccoon's wife doesn't sell forage seeds. It's the desert trader that sells them, like the farmer above me said

Seed maker (winter root into winter seeds) and desert trader (trading winter seeds) are the only two ways to get snow yams before winter. And you need a greenhouse for that to happen, too.

Trust me, I'm always trying to complete the community center as fast as possible, I know most of the tips and tricks people use to achieve that

I trust you, and I also tried getting a snow yam to drop in the mines to test it out on this save. None dropped. Must have been the mod "Love of Cooking", or perhaps some other mod I forgot I used to use (I had over a hundred pre-1.6)... :D

In this playthrough, I will likely get the greenhouse by fall 12-13, so I should have the bridge repaired a whole week before the first of Winter! There's 2 mystic stones I can see in there that I've been eyeing since day 1... xD

previously you needed to get winter roots off frost slimes, and grind them in a seed maker and grow the winter forage seeds in a greenhouse.

Dust sprites drop crystal fruit.

Snow yams and crocus need to be grown from winter root seeds in the greenhouse, in vanilla. I don't think anything drops them.
