    Current Version: 1.0.0.0.SMAPI for SMAPI 0.39.

    Saves your progress in the skull cave every X floors (X is configurable). When you return, it will warp you to your last saved level.

    By cantorsdust.


    INSTALLATION

    The zip contains one folder, SkullCaveSaver, with two files SkullCaveSaver.dll and manifest.json. The folder must be placed in %appdata%\StardewValley\Mods.

    Thus, the total path for both of the files required for this mod to function are:
    %appdata%\StardewValley\Mods\SkullCaveSaver\SkullCaveSaver.dll

    AND

    %appdata%\StardewValley\Mods\SkullCaveSaver\manifest.json

    Upon running the mod for the first time and loading a game, the folder psconfigs will be created. Inside that will be your config file for each save game.


    REQUIRES SMAPI 0.39+ to be installed!
    https://github.com/ClxS/SMAPI/releases


    USAGE

    Run StardewModdingAPI.exe in your main Stardew Valley folder. This will load the mods and then start the game.

    As you progress in the Skull Cave, your level will be saved every X floors, where X is defined by SaveLevelEveryXFloors in the config. By default, this is 5, so your level will be saved once you pass floor 5, 10, 15, etc. It saves if you've made it to that level or past it, so you can fall down holes and not worry about skipping a save level. For example, falling from level 6 to level 11 without specifically hitting level 10 will still save your last level as 10.

    Please note that this game uses SMAPI 0.39+'s new per-save config system. Your config file is specific to your save. This allows me to save your mine progress individually for each save file you're using.

    To find your config file, look in the psconfigs folder within your mod folder (full path %appdata%\StardewValley\SkullCaveSaver\psconfigs. There you will find a file that looks like [YOUR SAVE NAME]_[LOTS OF NUMBERS].json Inside are the following options:

    "LastMineLevel": 0,
    "SaveLevelEveryXFloors": 5

    LastMineLevel, which defaults to 0. This is the deepest level of the mine that the mod has saved. Edit this only if you want to skip ahead a number of levels. The skull cave starts on level 121.
    SaveLevelEveryXFloors, which defaults to 5. This is how often the mod will save your cave level. It defaults to 5, like in the mine, where the elevator appears every five levels. You can set this as low as 1 to save your progress every level.

                  Is there any chance you could modify this mod to let you select the floor to enter from the entrance?
                  I woukd also love it if you could have the same 5 floor skip that the mine has, and if its possible, the 'forget the last 10 floors' effect the mine has.

                      Actually it works well in 1.11. I am having no difficulty with it. Although, like Entoarox I wish it has the elevator function like the regular mine.

                          I installed this mod on my test computer in order to see if I want to use the new update of the game. It did not save my level once I went to bed in game. I went back to the cave, went for 5 levels and it saved when I went to bed. It would not save my level if I went to bed and logged out.

                            According to my ex, every time we start a playing session her progress in the Skull Cave has reset. Wasn't sure if anyone had reported this or not. I'm the host and haven't actually been to the Skull Cavern yet, so I don't know if it'd save mine or if it's only happening to Farmhands, though.

                              We are having the same issue in our 1.3-beta multiplayer game using the 1.3 mod + 2.6 SMAPI.

                              It seems when a farm hand descends into the cave as long as the server is active the progress is saved during that session. Once the game closes and is restarted later, the farmhands progress in the cave is lost and they start at level 1 again.

                              However, when the host enters the cave their progress is saved between games and is not transferred to the farmhand(s). As the host delves deeper and deeper, the farmhands start at level 1 so you can have the host at 100+ and the farmhands at level 1. What also seems strange is that as the farmhands progress there are only ladders down...no holes to drop you 'X' levels. The spawnrate for the holes for the farmhands seems off once the host has already dropped into the mine to a decent level.

                                Experiencing the same issues, losing all my progress and starting back at floor 1 upon server reset. (I'm a farmhand)
                                Also noticed the ladders vs holes issue happening but idk if that has anything to do with this mod or not.

                                  I'm having the same issue. I'm running the 1.3 mod + SMPAPI 2.6 beta 14, and a farmhand only saves the levels during the session. We have tried to change the values on the config file but it doesn't work at all for the farmhand session
