Automate is a fan-favorite quality-of-life mod designed to automatically pull raw items from the chest and push processed items into it. Simply connect machines to nearby chests for the process to occur. For example, furnaces, kegs, and preserves jars can pull materials directly from your storage chest. As your farm grows, this mod becomes a massive time saver and reduces repetitive micromanagement. You won’t spend time manually pulling raw items from your chest to the required machines as the process becomes automated. If you have multiple farms or a large farm, I highly recommend getting this mod. Why you’ll love it:
Follow these steps to install Automate on your Stardew Valley game:
Download and install SMAPI (Stardew Modding API) if you haven't already — it's required for most Stardew Valley mods.
Download the mod file from the link above. It will typically be a .zip file.
Extract the .zip file into your Stardew Valley "Mods" folder, usually located at: Steam/steamapps/common/Stardew Valley/Mods
Launch Stardew Valley through SMAPI instead of the normal launcher to activate mods.
Check the SMAPI console window when the game loads — it will confirm if the mod loaded successfully.
Important: Always back up your save files before installing new mods. Keep SMAPI updated to the latest version for the best mod compatibility.
Platform
Stardew Valley (PC/Mac/Linux)
Pro tip: Some visual mods may conflict with each other. If you notice graphical issues, try disabling recently added mods one at a time.
