A Stardew Valley mod where grass is "cut" instead of destroyed when reaped or eaten.

See This link for the NexusMods mod page, which has a description, screenshots, and a download of the built mod.

How it works

This mod uses Harmony to:

• Replace Grass.dayUpdate to incorporate Quick Grass and configurable growth rates.
• Postfix Grass.reduceBy to prevent grass getting destroyed when it reaches 0 tufts.
• Replace Grass.doCollisionAction to prevent grass with 0 tufts from slowing the farmer.
• Prefix and Postfix Grass.performToolAction so grass is not destroyed by scythes and instead only destroyed by Axe/Pickaxe/Hoe if already fully cut.
• Replace Grass.draw to draw the cut grass.
• Replace FarmAnimal.grassEndPointFunction so animals ignore grass with 0 tufts.
• Replace FarmAnimal.Eat to support animals eating their correct number of tufts even if their first patch doesn't have enough.
• Replace GameLocation.growWeedGrass to support Quick Grass and configurable growth/spread rates.
• Prefix Object.placementAction to support Quick Grass Starter.
• Postfix Object.isPlaceable to support Quick Grass Starter.
• Postfix Object.isPassable to support Quick Grass Starter.

Hardy Grass is unlikely to be compatible with any mod that Harmony patches one or more of these methods.
