"An intense earthquake struck overnight"

[LooneyLuny]

So, this just happened on Spring 14th, Year 5. No idea what it was supposed to mean. I looked around my farm and didn't notice anything out of place. I couldn't find any mention of this online either. Sounds like it might be from a mod? I thought maybe it was from Stardew Expanded, but I didn't find anything about new random events. I don't recall installing anything that affect random events either. Anyone know about this?

Hmm…I play expanded and never got that. There is the vanilla and expanded earthquake on the 3rd of summer one and intense wind storm whenever the raccoons show up but that’s all I know weather related. Do you have another mod such as Ridgeside or East Scarp? Not as much are known about those. I play them sometimes but have only seen a fraction of their events.

I don't have either of those, but maybe it's some other mod I have installed... No idea what it would be though. And I still haven't found anything caused by it. @.@ Oh well.

I just had this happen on my save, Winter 17 (+/- 1 day) Year 3. Do you have the mod Weather Wonders? I did a code dive into this mod's files; here's what I found.

• WW is dependent on MoreNightlyEvents (a framework mod).
• the WW Nexus page confirms the existence of a nightly earthquake event (under Features). How does the event behave?
• There is a nightly event ([FTM] Weather Wonders -> content) that seems to spawn ore nodes in the quarry (could also be the quarry on your farm, if you chose that farm type (I think)); in-game verification is inconclusive.
• This event also has EarthquakeSound.ogg ([CS] Weather Wonders -> assets) which matches what I heard during the overnight event.
• I can't find the text "intense earthquake" in WW's files, it's probably buried somewhere that I haven't looked.
• According to ([CS] Weather Wonders -> Data -> Nightly Events -> Earthquake) I also should have received a mail about this event, but I did not; I'm guessing that's a bug, but i'm not certain.

If you don't have Weather Wonders, let me know and we can compare mod lists.

Oh hey! Sorry for the late response, but it was indeed WW. I turned off the earthquake event in the config and that fixed it. No idea why that happens, but at least it's easy to fix.
