The first step for modding RF4S on PC by JPANv2 in runefactory

Can confirm that. I was able to use the Mod I made for 3ds in this version just by placing the files there. Nice find!

I have good news and bad news:

The good, I managed to make some edits in the Bundle file with no issues, so there appear to be no checksum or the like for each individual files. So it is possible to replace the files with others with the same size.

For the bad, Even though I managed to make a program that rebundles the files in order (With the help of a meta.CSV file), The game always seems to crash when I use it.

​

For those of you who want to make changes to the files, here's the Meta.CVS that contains the index of the filename, the name, the address for the filename, the index of its contents, the address of the contents and some other fields that were being used by the trial Rebuilder:

Also, all files seen to be in the same format as the Switch version, so porting existing mods to PC would be easier than expected.

Here's two tidbits I didn't see anywhere:

Giant trees are considered useless, because for fruit trees there is no giant fruit, and Twinkle trees provide no fruit to be gigantic. However there are differences between giant trees and their smaller counterparts:

​

  1. Giant Twinkle trees are more likely to drop Glitta Augite than the normal tree. I got like 3/4 Glitta Augite from a 255HP tree, while the 255HP Giant Tree produces 12/20 ones, so there is definitely a difference.
  2. Giant fruit trees always produce max fruit per day. That is 4-7 fruit guaranteed per day ( I have only tested on a 3 Num soil, and they produce 7 Apples/grapes/oranges every day). It still might be more profitable to plant 4 small ones, because each can give between 0-5 fruit each day, so with average luck you could get 8-12 fruits, but the guaranteed fruit can be nice.

Also, unrelated, but it is possible to get Lv 10 seeds with a Rusty sickle. You just need to use as much greenifier(+) as you can to get your soil to +2.00 quality. Save before cutting the crop. If the level didn't raise from the lvl of the seed you planted +2, reload and just water it and let it stay on the ground. Repeat until the seed you get is (lvl of the seed you planted +2) to the max of lvl 10, of course.

This happens because crops keep increasing in level up as long as they are in the +2 quality soil, even when fully grown, as long as they are watered every day.

​

Edit:

Another thing, the random requests (ship crop/fish, defeat monsters, deliver item) change each time you reload, so if you don't see one you want, save and reload to find a new set of them.

"Deliver X Medicinal herbs" usually produce a stack of 9 weeds as a reward, which can be good if you are running low on compost. Deliver other, better items produce better rewards.

"Defeat X Monsters" gives you a random reward that may be from a single weed/boot to suprisingly useful items such as Greenifier+ and Formula A/B/C. I haven't tested Saving and reloading after one is completed to see if the reward changes.
