Have you ever wondered why the Tunnel is blocked by a boom gate? And how the hell does Pam drive through it when there is no visible access panel nearby? Well wonder no more! Because this mod is basically just to spite the design of one boom gate in a dark Tunnel. (joke)

But there are a few reasons that everyone else would rather take the bus. The road just happens to be very long, and sometimes there are monsters roaming about. You'll either want to bring a sword with you, or just run, really fast.

This mod was originally created by Tarniyar, and was originally just called Walk to the Desert. I was granted permission to update and improve the mod and this is the outcome. Enjoy!

What's New in Version 1.3.3

  • Added multiple translation files for the following languages: Chinese, Spanish, Japanese, Portuguese and Turkish.
  • Fixed the Ghost Berry plant giving ridiculous quantities when collected with an Iridium Hoe, this was caused by the `"HarvestMaxIncreasePerFarmingLevel"` value being set to `25`, it is now set to `0`.
  • Added a map warp for the [Desert Festival](https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Desert_Festival), you will now be able to freely walk between the maps whilst the event is going on.
  • Added some road sign overlay tilesheets for better internationalisation (i18n) support, if you have the Spanish, Portuguese or Turkish language enabled you will see the sign pointing to Downtown Zuzu will have localised text.
  • Fixed support for [Ylgnik's update to Garden Village](https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/12474) until my continuation of the mod is released, some missing warps with misnamed map names were my fault.
  • Removed two bushes from the Backwoods map that were erroneously left in that could block off the area to lead your Tractor or Horse into to get to the Forest Road.
  • Updated mod dependencies details to require more precise versions of each mods and to require a specific version of the game (1.6.4).
  • Updated all road tilesheets as some of the road signs for the internationalisation (i18n) support needed changing for better consistency across languages.
  • Some of the recolour mods have not been officially updated as of yet, so I have added two unofficial mod updates for two recolor mods to each of their respective when conditions, this will be changed in the future when the mod authors hopefully update their recolor mods.

Important Stardew Valley Changes


The Bus is now functioning correctly, players no longer collide with world geometry or warps during the buses animation, this has been fixed after the bug was reported three times on Nexus Mods, thanks for reporting this issue.

Compatibility

Walk to the Desert is compatible with Stardew Valley Expanded, Ridgeside Village and the Boarding House and Bus Stop Extension. This mod is most likely compatible with other map expansion mods as well, if they aren't listed here then they haven't been tested yet. If the map mod makes direct changes to the Tunnel map, Backwoods map or the Calico Desert and has not been listed here then please let me know so I can add a compatibility fix for it to work directly with this mod.



Features of Walk to the Desert Redux

There are four new major maps, the Forest Road, Winding Road, Interchange and Ghost Town and a number of smaller locations -- some of them hidden. If you want to be surprised, don't open the spoilers!

Forest Road

This map connects to the left hand side of the tunnel -- I've removed that pesky barricade for you so you're free to pass all the way through. Forest Road features an abandoned farm, including a overgrown field that sometimes still produces vegetables, and a weird magic tree that sometimes produces fruits. And some wild monsters. They're not too strong, but you don't want to stand still and let them hit you.

To the left, the road continues on to the Winding Road map.

Hidden Features

The magic tree sometimes produces other strange objects -- check it around the holidays.
Behind a large, breakable boulder is flower meadow where you can find seasonal flowers.

Winding Road

This map connects to the Forest Road to the east, Garden Village to the West, and the Interchange map is located North. You can walk to Garden Village in about one hour in game time, easily getting there before Pam even gets out of bed!

Winding Road features normal random forage, a quarry area at the top of the map and a road going to the West where a planned Nuclear Power Plant mod will be located. (Monster Spawns will be re-added later)

Interchange

This map connects to the Winding Road at the bottom, the Ghost Town on the left, and a future location on the top right. (Downtown Zuzu will be added in the near future once the mod receives an update to add a Desert Location.)

The Interchange map also features another quarry area. (Monster Spawns will be re-added later)

Ghost Town

This map connects to the Interchange on the right, and the Calico Desert on the left. This mod is compatible with all the changes made to the desert by SVE as far as I've been able to see.

The Ghost Town is a battered looking place with nothing really of note, except for the warning signs. Maybe you should visit after dark? Or maybe you shouldn't...

Hidden Features

  • Ghosts start spawning within the Ghost Town after 8pm, they mean business so you better be careful!
  • A shopkeeper will arrive in the unlocked building after 8pm to sell you some new items.

GOG's indie sale continues on, bringing some solid independent hits at an insanely affordable price. Indie games are where some of the most innovation in the industry is occurring already, but for a while, they were also one of the frontrunners for modding. So, here's the deal - five indie games, five mods, one for each, with a big asterisk that each of those indie games has many mods besides the ones we're picking to choose from. Let's dig in!


Game: FTL: Faster Than Light: £2.09 GBP/$2.49 USD

Mod: FTL Multiverse

By The Multiverse Team

Orchid Cruiser 5


FTL's varied gameplay fed an addicting roguelike loop that had players coming back again and again. Roguelikes benefit a lot even from the smallest mods, but Multiverse for FTL believes in going hard or going home. Dozens of ships, hundreds of new events, many new weapons, and even alternate endings hide a great mystery behind a challenging, engaging, immersive universe.

Game: Stardew Valley: £7.69 GBP/$9.35 USD

Mod: Walk to the Desert Redux

Game: Darkest Dungeon: £2.89 GBP/$3.46 USD

Mod: Darkest Night, Brightest Dawn

By Lohengramm512

Scout Ahead Skill


The goal of Darkest Night, Brightest Dawn is primarily to enhance quality of life (general enjoyment of the game) without making it necessarily easier to win, but easier to build effective parties within. A lot of underperforming skills have received minor or major boosts, while some were made slightly worse in some ways to maintain balance. Positional requirements and self-moving skills were often targeted as ways to increase the number of viable party builds. This widens the strategies players can use in this iconically brutal game.

Game: No Man's Sky: £20.04 GBP/$24.32 USD

Mod: No Man's Sky: RaYRoD's Overhaul

By RaYRoD_TV


No Man's Sky: RaYRoD's Overhaul v10 (BETA)


A few of the countless things that you will experience with this mod are a complete visual overhaul, re-enabled and re-created pre-release features, over 1,000 different handcrafted procedural biomes, with rules and algorithms that have been tested one by one with research, inspiration, passion, and creativity to ensure that they all meet a quality standard fitting of the original premise for the game. No Man's Sky has certainly had a good turnaround since release, but modders can always push things further.

Game: Ion Fury: £7.79 GBP/$9.48 USD

Mod: Ion Fury X Turok

By Shtovladya

Raptor Hunt


Turok is a famous shooter of the past, putting you in a hostile naturalistic environment in classic early FPS action. The game is one that hasn't quite been mined for its potential just yet, but if you wanted to dig into it in another form, this mod working towards an Ion Fury total conversion transforming it into Turok has the first two levels of the game ripe for exploration and combat.


There's our picks for five games and mods from the GOG Spring Sale, which continues running until the 20th of April.
