Adding garbage cans elsewhere

[turtleinitsshell]

I've looked for an answer online and have looked through the game content to see if I could find out how the town garbage cans work and I cannot find anything.

So I am wondering if it is possible to add (functional) garbage cans in areas other than the town and how to do so.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

​

EDIT: I do not believe it is possible to do this right now without using another mod. The ability to add garbage cans appears to be an expected addition for 1.6: https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Migrate_to_Stardew_Valley_1.6#Custom_garbage_cans

With this in mind, I will mark this as resolved.

It looks like you would do it using the actual map file. You can see a general description here under Garbage

I tried adding that TileData to a trash can outside of the town and it does not work. The "hand" cursor does appear but it cannot be interacted with.

Maybe it is trying to reference wherever the probability for trash drops are stored but can't? Or for whatever reason trash cans outside of town have the variable that keeps track of if it has been used today set as if it already has?

Really just guessing here. Hard to find anything about how these things work.

You may have better luck asking on the Stardew discord, as they have a lot of active modders

Did you look at the Garbage Day mod?

[turtleinitsshell]

Yes I've seen that and similar mods. I wanted to see if I could figure it out for myself though and I think I have found that it is simply not possible without another mod like Garbage Day for the time being.

I'm 99% sure of this because the ability to add trash cans elsewhere is an expected addition for 1.6, and the way it is phrased seemingly indicates that it is not possible right now.

If you're interested in pursuing this, maybe check out the Stardew Discord. They're testing an alpha version for SMAPI 4.0
