# Junimatic
This is the source code for the Stardew Valley mod, Junimatic. It's a replacement for Pathoschild's Automate mod that aims to be a more balanced and fun way to reduce the grindiness of the stock game. For more details on how to install and use it, see the Nexus Page.
If you'd like to help with the mod, please file an 'issue' here on github first so that we can share ideas and ensure that it's something that we can agree fits the mission of the mod. From there, create a pull request as normal.
The mod can be translated like other Stardew Valley mods. Look in the game's installation folder,
then look for Mods\Junimatic\i18n\default.json. Copy that to a file with your language code
(e.g. es.json for Spanish) and replace the English string values with the translated strings.
Please don't be a slave to accuracy. If a line doesn't make sense or sound funny to you, it's likely that it won't make sense to anybody who would want to use your translations. For example, Linus has some dialog that includes: "...except for Jeremy Clarkson, my pet Schnauzer." Schnauzer is a breed of dog whose name just sounds funny in English and Jeremy Clarkson is an infamous BBC TV personality. It's very likely that people who don't speak English will have no idea who that is and won't think a Schnauzer is a particularly funny-sounding name. Pick something that will be funny in the language that you're translating to.
Installing stable releases from Nexus Mods is recommended for most users. If you really want to compile the mod yourself, read on.
These mods use the crossplatform build config so they can be built on Linux, Mac, and Windows without changes. See the build config documentation for troubleshooting.
Build the project in Visual Studio or MonoDevelop to build it and deploy it to your 'mod' directory in your Stardew Valley installation.
Launching it under the debugger will start Stardew Valley and your mod will be picked up as in the game.
To package a mod for release:
Release build configuration.bin/Release/<mod name>-<version>.zip file from the project folder.
