v0.10.0

Stats Guide Feature 📊

This release introduces a comprehensive Stats Guide to help players understand all Stardew Valley stats, skills, and gameplay mechanics with accurate information and common misconception corrections.

✨ New Features

Stats Guide Page

• 17 Stats Documented: Complete database covering all player stats
  • 5 Levelable Skills (Farming, Fishing, Foraging, Mining, Combat)
  • 7 Combat Stats (Health, Attack, Defense, Crit Chance, Crit Power, Immunity, Weight)

Skill System Details

• Experience requirements and benefits per level
• All 30 profession choices documented (level 5 and 10 options)

Common Misconceptions Addressed ⚠️

The Stats Guide corrects 6+ widespread misconceptions:

• ✅ Luck Confusion: Clarifies that "Luck" and "Daily Luck" are the same stat
• ✅ Mining Misconception: Mining level does NOT affect ore quality (copper vs iron vs gold) - only quantity
• ✅ Fishing Treasure: Fishing level DOES increase treasure chest chance (contrary to popular belief)
• ✅ Critical Damage: Base crit damage is 3x, not 2x
• ✅ Immunity: Only reduces debuff duration, doesn't prevent them entirely
• ✅ Speed Buffs: Most food speed buffs don't stack
• ✅ Luck Impact: Luck has minimal effect on crop quality (Farming skill matters much more)

Buff & Bonus Database

• Complete list of food buffs per stat (duration, effect, stackability)
• Equipment bonuses (rings, boots, weapons)
• Profession bonuses and multipliers
• Formulas and calculations
