FoM Archipelago Randomizer

An Archipelago implementation for farming simulator Fields of Mistria (currently in Early Access).

Gameplay

Your goal is to complete 50% of the museum by donating items that are part of the collections. Due to the nature of randomizers, there are some noticeable differences from a vanilla playthrough, including:

• Starting with different tools from the beginning
• Being able to talk to Caldarus and collect essence from the beginning
• Certain story progression is now shuffled into randomization (e.g. access to the mines, unlocking the Horse Statue
• The cost of perks have been rebalanced
• Items have been removed from certain vendors (see Notes)
• You can optionally enable deathlink, allowing you to send other players who have deathlink enabled a death upon reaching 0 HP and vice versa. Receiving a death will immediately send you to Valen's clinic as if you hit 0 HP and fast forward to the next day.

Items

The following items are considered progression as necessary to get you through the main storyline and locations:

• Ability to skip to different seasons, with the PGUP button (please see Notes for several caveats)
• Access to the mines
• Spells
• Progressive tools
• Progressive inventory upgrades
• Progressive armor
• The Hero's Ring (from Adeline's 8 heart event)
• Buildings
• Horse statue
• Essence stones

Remaining filler items include:

• Farm sprites
• Big Bell
• Perks
• Potions and syrups
• Tesserae
• Maximum stats gain items (i.e. Heart Crystal and Stamina Up)
• Wheedle's consumables
• Coffee
• Resource bundles
• Town renown
• All seeds

Locations

Locations that contain items by default include:

• Donating individual items to the museum's collection
• Completing the mines questline
• Unlocking skill perks through the dragon statues or horse statue

Optional locations include:

• Story Quests: Completing quests from the mailbox or request board marked as story quests.
• Elevatorsanity: Progressing through each elevator lift in the mines.
• Renownsanity: Reaching each town renown level (and rank). (See Notes)

Notes

Due to the nature of this mod, it is incompatible with mods that add items or alter gameplay in any fashion.

This mod is still in development (not to mention that the game is still in Early Access), so you will almost certainly encounter unexpected situations. Known issues include:

• Switching to another season has several issues at the moment, including not despawning/withering crops and foraging spots from previous seasons.
• The Former Farmers and Mine Time perks do not work properly when received and not obtained by statues. To mitigate this, they currently cost 0 essence to purchase at their respective statues. This will not grant you the perk automatically, but upon receiving the perks through the randomizer will work as intended.
• While you now start with the Worn Net, you can still receive it from the Something's Bugging Me quest as a duplicate.
• The Do a Bro a Favor quest still grants the Worn Pickaxe, though this will be removed in the future as the item is shuffled into the pool.
• There are currently placeholder items where removed vendor items are.
• Receiving renown points currently triggers if you have renownsanity enabled and open your inventory or check the renown rewards chest in town, rather than being added to the end of day as intended.
