⚠️ Common Mistakes

Installing multiple mods that modify the same files without checking compatibility

👍 Pros

Community favorite with 3,706 endorsements and over 114k downloads—clearly a mod people trust.
Does exactly what it says: more geodes, ores, and gems from the Quarry, no bloat.
Updated recently (June 2024), so it's likely compatible with current Stardew Valley versions.

👎 Cons

Only affects the Quarry—if you're looking for changes elsewhere, this won't help.
No detailed description of exact spawn rate changes, so you're flying blind on the numbers.
May make the Quarry feel overpowered for some, reducing the challenge of resource gathering.
