Hi!

I recently switched to Fedora 40 from Windows 10 and have finally started working on getting my games going. I have the KDE Plasma desktop version.

I have a lot of mods in Stardew, which I was able to get installed successfully using Vortex and Wine.

But, Stardew is not recognizing my save files, and Steam doesn't know that I'm playing.

Where should I start looking? It's definitely an issue with how I set up Vortex and Steam but I don't know how to fix it.

Vortex is set up through Wine and Steam is the Linux version (I think Proton is included on Steam under compatibility too). One of the instructions I found said to do symlinks from the .steam folder and place it into home/[user]/Games. A different one said to also make symlinks into home/[user]/Documents/Games. I never deleted the one under documents but Vortex is directed to the home/[user]/Games directory, which itself is linked to the apps folder under .steam

My save files are on my computer and not corrupted - they are in the .config folder. I tried linking the save files into the Vortex folder in .wine and that didn't work either. I also tried putting it in the relevant area under .steam folder but no dice. I never did symlinks before so I am not sure if that was a decent way to do it or not. I feel like I tried so many things I am not sure which folders I can remove now! Maybe in a different life I am more organized.

Stardew itself loads fine, if a little slow (my computer is a dinosaur) (still faster than when I had Windows!). I was able to select the mod settings from the home screen so it does recognize the mods, just not the save files.

I have hundreds of hours in Stardew so I would be grateful to be able to access my previous saves!

Thanks in advance!

1.6 introduced two amazing features to make mad money from fishing.

Pic related - it's the first Summer, I didn't ship all the fish (I couldn't smoke all of them in time), and I'm making 20kg/day, even being bad at fishing.

The bait maker is unlocked by Fishing Lv6. It requires 3 iron bars, 3 coral, 1 sea urchin. You put a fish there, and get 5~10 pieces of bait targetting that fish.

But why would you waste fish to get more fish, instead of using bug meat for the bait? Because you can target the most lucrative fish - like I did with sturgeon there, if I used normal bait I'd be getting carps instead.

Then there's the fish smoker. The recipe is from Willy's and it costs 10kg. You need 10 hardwood, 1 river jelly, 1 sea jelly, 1 cave jelly.

The river and sea jellies are not a big deal to get. The hardwood will likely require luck in the mines or an upgraded axe. Cave jelly is a pain, you need to fish in the mines for a while. (Ideally at Lv100, but Lv20 does the trick.)

But oh wow. It's worth. It doubles the price of the fish, but it keeps quality. Check the iridium quality sturgeon, it's 1200g! Lucrative fish tend to be unruly, but if you fish at good spots you can reliably get gold quality fish; 1.5 from gold quality * 1.5 from angler profession * 2.0 from smoking = 4.5 times the original price.

It does require coal but once you got the cash rolling you can buy it from Clint, that's what I'm doing.

I have a save that's about 2 years in. Do I restart or use it?

I'm unsure since all the changes came out
