Official note about the 1.6 update from the creator of MARGO, DaLion: "Since a lot of people have been asking about MARGO update this will be my official announcement about it: Obviously a lot has changed in 1.6. Not just in terms of base game code changes, but also new content. Both of these things have huge impact to MARGO. MARGO was originally coded to make surgical changes to the vanilla code (i.e. mostly transpilers) in order to be as lightweight as possible, and that has gloriously backfired since now most of it needs to be rewritten. And there's no way to know in advance what needs to be rewritten, which means effectively I need to redo everything. MARGO is a huge mod with almost 200 of these surgical changes and hundreds of thousands of lines of code. Imagine my enthusiasm to get started. With the new content changes, several MARGO features are obsolete, yet others will need to be rebalanced. That is to say, it's not just a matter of updating the code, but conceptually the whole mod needs to be revised. So the TL;DR: - Yes, I do intend to update it. - No, I have not even started. - When I do, it will take time. May not even come out this year. - Whenever the update comes out, it will probably be a very different mod. I suggest everyone try out Kedi's talent mod when that comes, which will be much sooner than the MARGO update. Please help to spread the message if you see people asking about MARGO." I have no clue why the github page is down, here's the link if it ever goes back up: github.com/daleao/modular-overhaul

my computer, already struggling with 10 mods: *sweats nervously*

I'm a huge fan of MARGO, love to see it getting highlighted. For people coming from Skyrim modding, the creators intention here (from posts) are to make "Enairim" for Stardew, and they knocked it out of the park.

I have this mod and i gotta say, the offensive sword special is amazing for just shooting around town

I remember this mod as the walk of life mod which I thought stopped updating. Good to know it expanded since it really creates a fresh gameplay experience.

The professions module is my favourite thing to keep long modded playthroughs interesting. Prestiging skills is such a satisfying system and keeps me actually fishing and gathering late game when I might otherwise just rely on farm artisan goods.

tbh I like the taxes module. It makes things so much more challenging. I kind of really disliked how once I became good at the game... it was super easy to basically get infinite money by summer.

I think I will turn the tax one off. If the Republic wanted my taxes, I wouldn't have to make all of the public works happen by myself while they ignore the broken bus, bridge, etc.

there was obviously so much love put into this, the stardew moddi g community is truly amazing

I've been considering this mod for a while now! Especially for the gemstone music theory stuff you get with the rings. When 1.6 releases, I'm def starting a new playthrough 😊 Great stuff as always!

so weird that I have never heard of this before even though I've been using mods for quite some time now and watched dozens of videos. Seems very very interesting, definitely gonna give that a look for the next playthrough. Thanks so much!

Yup, I'm starting a new playthrough now 😁 Thanks so much for sharing this!!!

Honestly its pretty weird we dont get taxes in the normal game.

I actually have never been SO convinced to get a SDV mod before to try out. I typically play vanilla and watch these mod videos for fun, but this overhaul is INSANE! The prestige part has me incredibly curious. It makes me want to create a copy of my most played save file and mess around with it to see how quickly I could get to level 10 from 1 with my current setup.

Love the Wabbajack reference to Skyrim and even how it has random effects

I've been playing with MARGO for a bit. I like that upgrading weapons is a bit more of a challenge now, but also much more satisfying in the end. My main weapon is an infinity dagger with four garnets for cooldown reduction. I have an infinity ring with a bunch of different gems that form a "chord" and cause the gems in the dagger to "resonate" as well, bringing the overall cooldown reduction to 100%. My other ring is a combined napalm/slime charmer ring, which still works like vanilla. I have a buff from the "demolitionist" profession that gives a small speed boost after being in an explosion. All this together means that, while I don't have a large area for attacks, I can one hit most enemies with the dagger's special, get a speed boost from the napalm-ring explosion, quickly dash to the next enemy, and repeat.

This is my first time hearing of this mod, and I'm so glad you shed light on it! ✨ I'm very impressed about how much work was put into this mod and I'm super excited to try it out! Thank you so much for making a video on it! :)

Thanks for this! I’ve been overwhelmed by this mod but your video helped a lot.

Honestly, I dig this, very nice. I'll have to check this out, like especially the professions.

Thanks for such a helpful video I will definitely use this

I’d love to see a playthrough of this mod! 🥰

Man this looks like such a cool mod! I love the offensive sword special and the little improvements

Im glad Ive only put a couple hours into my new save, since this looks like a great thing to add to my modded playthrough

This is really interesting. I will have to try it out. I love finding mods for stardew that keep the game interesting. I have found that stardew captivates me in way no other similar game does.

I'm absolutely using this mod. Thanks so much for making this video.🔥

One of my favorit mods, I tend to use this in every new playthrough! So glad you bring more attention to it! (And also nice to see how many people already know of this mod!)

Oh wow, that change to Artisan was exactly what I was thinking about a few weeks ago. The prestige mechanic also gives a way to use all the XP you get after level 10.

Been running the Tax part of the mod on my modded series. I like it. Adds more challenge to the game.

Finally someone is doing something about this fantastic mod. Now I will wait until someone does a play through with it and Raffadax or the full Wildflour mods.

This mod looks pretty cool, I might have to give it a try.

i am so tired and just down in general but your videos always make me so happy!

this has been my fav mod for a while now:D

Perfect timing. I just found this mod the other day.

i just started a new playthrough using this mod a couple weeks ago! the scavenger hunt mini game is very cute

I first found this mod when it was just a few individual mods. Mostly wanted it for the professions prestiging, but everything else is great too!

Been waiting for this!!!

I had like 300 mods and it took like 40 minutes to load my world like everytime but after I added this mod it only took me like 10-15 minutes to load up a world which is pretty nice

That's a very interesting mod indeed! My head is kind of spinning from everything in it.

Hello Sal thanks for the recommendation, I just started another playthrough with MARGO on :D I'd be awesome if you made a video showcasing/explaining how this mod changes professions and what the changes do (if you feel so inclined if not thank you anyway, your vids are awesome)

the combat changes are wild holy shit im gonna have to get this just for that

As long as the mods are integrated as progression and challenges in the game I am all for it!

Aw yeah, I have good tining today

wow soo much info, thank you!

this mod is really cool. i love playing modded stardew and i’m suprised i’ve never came across this mod

that mod seems really nice

Video on an overview of the extra skill mods? Like over magic, cooking, love of magic, traveling, binning, socializing, and Archaeology? With what one being your favorite or most well put together at the end?

Now THIS is a mod worth installing for 1.6

I sometimes wish these modders who have come out with content like this and other top mods for SDV would all just get together and casually create their own farming game

Taxes help balance out the more op parts of the mod. I've been having trouble getting it to work though.

Weird comment maybe, but I like your outro transition, outro, and outro music :3

this mod is so cool!!! i like the taxes tbh it’s kinda cool and makes it so much easier tbh ,,,

I sure wanna try this mod out for my next playthrough. Hope i will get used to the tons of changes it does to the game!

Finally some recognition for MARGO, I accidentally installed it once and haven't been able to play without it since

I love this mod, it rebalances the game so well, I'm glad to see you highlighting it ☺️

Finally… someone make a video about it

I love these mod videos you do. Every time I think I’ve found all the interesting mods you come out with something I haven’t found yet! 😊

thanks for the video! its so funny to me how you basically have a whole different game if you install enough mods.

that's really cool!

I dunno why I thought it was hilarious seeing the character melee-attacking with a slingshot, because I'm picturing the character going "shitshitshitshit--" while frantically hitting the enemy

This came out earlier then i expected

The combat stuff overwhelms me unreasonably - literally just listening to you talk about it for five minutes was stressing me out. My combat style is "hit it until it dies, while tanking damage and eating in between fights." However, since all that is configurable, the ability to get quality artisan goods and several of the other features...very tempting...

This plus expanded would be great for a second play through.

thanks for sharing this I hope I can enjoy it on mobile

Holy carp! I followed this mod before it was called Margo! It was called Walks of Life, and was super fun with Da Leo's other mods like the fishing pond overhaul!!

I really love slingshots with this mod

I saw that there were a few posts from about 4 months ago that talked about a memory leak issue, with conflicting reports about it being caused by having SDE installed simultaneously. Is there any definite word on if the two mods are compatible? Or if they'd need extra tweaking to work together?

A minute into the video and i already need this mod :D

Taxes or even just crop prices varying season-to-season would keep things fresh for me personally. I'm not big on having a farm full of nothing but corn, so if the best choice crop changes slightly every time I play, I'd love that.

Are there any mods that would be bad with this? I have like pretty mods and stuff like Automate. But I was thinking of adding the "Wear More Rings" mod as well.

THATS what im expecting for the 1.6, immersion!! im tired of every category of item/profession having a best thing that, if you dont choose, you're stupid. The game needs balance, like, you can choose what suits you better! i have huge expectations for 1.6!! Concerned ape, take a look at this mod!!

Beautiful, thanks!

Love this mod

Wow, could you imagine having both this AND the expanded mod, it'd feel like an entirely new game.

Oh my...hello, next modded playthrough.

Since people are still commenting as of today... I went to get the mod but smapi skips it cause "its missing the .dll". I found one more person to report this, but they have no answer either... can anyone help?

I'm really enjoying MARGO right now - it's fun to switch things up a bit, and I love the prestige system for professions. Crab pots are EXTREMELY powerful, especially combined with Automate. I've actually had to place double chests by each set of pots, just so I don't have to check them so frequently. I don't get the detailed config menu shown at 4:01 though, I just get a checklist to toggle each module on/off. I have Professions, Combat, Tools, Ponds, Taxes, and Tweex, and a checkbox next to each. I can't figure out if I'm doing something wrong (not unlikely, I'm very new to all of this), if it's a Linux/Steam Deck compatibility issue, or if something is just straight up bugged. It's not the end of the world, just a bit annoying - I'd love to check out the detailed settings!

As a Switch player, this is getting me closer & closer to downloading on PC!

Do you plan on doing a playthrough with this mod?

7:24 Imagine that with the scythe harvest mod

do you think you'll be implementing this mod in your modded series?

Love seeing the Skyrim inspired wabbajack in my lil farming sim

Started playing again SV during the holidays as a coping mechanism, going as far as using almost 100 mods (thanks Poxial) to spice up my game, adding SVE and Ridgeside village to the mix, and now with a fully fledged and working powerstation of a farm I'm a little bit bored by everything going smooth and fine even before Year 2 winter KZfaq suggestions brought me here and I gotta say I'm quite tempted to start over with a bit more challenging playthrough

That's my husband job! So proud! ❤❤❤❤

Can you hotswap this mod into an existing save file well?

Im a beginner when it comes to mods. Does this mod compatible with the expanded mod? And all other mods?

Wow. That's certainly a lot of changes. particularly I don't like mods that make the game too easy, because what's the fun, right? But some of this mod's mechanics are very interesting. I might give it a try, although I'll be turning a lot of things off, for sure.

You had me at Wabbajack.

Can you still get vanilla enchantments on your weapons, like Crusader to kill mummies?

I hope this gets updated for 1.6

So I saw this video and downloaded the mod yesterday and I just went to update some other mods today to see that this mod is now deleted can anyone confirm if it's gone or if it's just on my end

I'm surprised you didn't talk about the complicated resonance thing he added with rings / infinity+ weapons. I still don't quite understand it.

For what I've seen the weapons module seems to interfere with SVE, is there any way to fix this or will I just not be able to do that? And I've seen that the mod has been updated 3 days ago so did it fix this issue

if you think about it. 10% crit damage is different than 10% attack bonus. if crit is 4x damage, then consider how often you crit. if your damage is 200 per hit, then a crit is 800 dmg. 10% is plus 80. while 10% attack is plus 20. so i guess if you crit every 1-4 attacks, then the 10% crit is good. but if it takes more than 4 attacks then i get what you mean. i havent played since 1.5 release so i forgot the max damage in the game. probably much lower than 200 lol.

Margo replaced a lot of my default mods

I'm expecting an update for the Expanded version mod

this looks really fun! but the taxes and tweeks aren't my vibe. i might try it and turn those off. i really like the combat stuff. The combat system is pretty barebones, so this will make it less "swing and kill things" and more actual strategy.

woah.. Might start a new save later and play with this! i’m playing with SVE and ridgeside currently and i don’t think my laptop can take another big mod😭

0:15 rip flower

the question is, do we get a tax return?

Does this mod play nice with SVE and Ringside?
