Fostoria was once a bustling mining community to the west of Pelican Town. This new location can be accessed by walking west through the bus tunnel in the base game OR (new in v5.5+) by enabling a shortcut entrance using the config.json file.

Fostoria is home to three new NPCs, two shops, new areas to forage, and much more to discover. Fostoria is a stand-alone mod, but it can be combined with other LLT3 mods. We especially recommend using Fostoria with Stoffton because Fostoria allows you to walk to Stoffton without having to repair the bus. Also, using Stoffton will bring new features to the Fostoria map and allow you to walk to a new farm that you can purchase through the grocery store in Stoffton.

Fostoria can be found on Nexus Mods here.

Maps

Fostoria ships with three maps. All of the maps are the same width, but they are different heights. The Small Map is 2/3 the height of the Big map. The Tiny map is only 1/3 the height of the Big map. When you first download the mod, it is set to use the original or "Big" map. To use a different map, you need to change the config.json file included in the mod folder. See the directions in the Configurations section below.

Map Features

The table below includes a screen capture of all three maps. In addition, the maps have the following features:

  • All maps include all of the Fostoria NPCs, buildings, and quests.
  • All maps allow you to walk to the Desert by following the paved road along the bottom of the map and partway up the left side of the map. (To leave the Desert, you can walk back through Fostoria or take the bus home (even if the bus is not yet repaired).
  • On all of the maps, your character enters from the lower right side of the map.
