Yes, I wrote another Stardew Valley mod.

I still really have to get these up to my github!

The newest one is Raven's Ore Swapper, which joins my other Stardew Valley mods. It is yet another machine (and the pixel art is basically a colorswapped clone of my giftbox exchanger), but it is set up to take an ore or coal as input. This being me, the ore swapper is rather randomized and only really upgrades your ore if you're trying with copper, iron, or gold; the rest will mostly give the same item back, but have a chance of returning a different ore - some better, some worse - or even occasionally coal. You even have a small chance of getting 2 of the item you put in.

Yes, this is kind of the seedmaker (which has a chance to give you different, better/worse seeds than your input veggie/fruit), except with ores. I thought that was a fun concept so I wrote it. As usual, it is built on Content Patcher and needs that mod to function.

To prevent abuse, I set the processing time to 2 hours; I played around and that seemed to work pretty well - it doesn't take forever to process but it still takes some time, so you won't be mass-loading iron ore to get gold. This is the first one I've written just for fun instead of a problem I thought needed solving in my playthroughs.

(My seed exchanger now also uses colorswapped pixel art for its appearance, so progress!)
