I've been playing a ton of Elden Ring, but I should get back into Stardew Valley to relax. My current save is on year 3. I have no plans of marrying (but I'm partial to Abigail or Elliot) and instead just want to get max hearts with the villagers and run my farm as a bachelorette.
I have a flock of chickens IRL, and a potted plant garden. One day I kinda want to have my own little cottage and farm in an idyllic little town surrounded by nature. One can only hope, though.

>>193682I married Maru my first playthrough. Though she seems like an unpopular choice in the fandom. It does kinda suck after you marry them they seem to not have as much personality or ambition anymore. I HC she likes to invent new farming equipment.
It's better to marry a neet like Shane or Leah because if you marry them or not they still do the same shit everyday kek.
>>193693Whenever I start a new farm I am always racing to get the greenhouse before winter so I can still make income. I kinda loose interest in growing crops at that point though, I much prefer to go in the mines. There still is a lot of cool shit to get on the island, you just have to collect the golden walnuts to unlock more stuff. I recommend looking up a guide for these, I would have never found some if I didn't
cheat I think unfortunately ConceredApe is pretty much done with Stardew, he wants to work on other games now
I'm currently trying to 100% my switch file, I think I'm like 89%?
The most tedious part of 100%ing the game is having ALL the recipes and ingredients to make them. Some cooking recipes only show up once every rotating year on the tv, if you end missing it you have to wait another 2 years to catch it.

>>193682It would have been better if the dev cared more about about the romance aspect of it… I tried a few spouses with different saves, but it's so sad how they only ever have like three lines and barely leave the house. When you're unmarried you can give them gifts and talk to them every day and hear something new, this feels so boring. Doesn't help that most spouses share certain lines as well, they really lose so much personality after marriage. Luckily there are some mods for that
>>193705God, I only managed to get those recipes because of a mod called Ui Info Suite that lets you know if there's a new one. Right now I'm mostly done with my farm, just missing a few artifacts that I can't seem to get my hands on no matter what, such a pain

Yeesss I wanted to make a Stardew thread but wasn’t sure if there’d be enough interest. Plus I’ve never made a thread before so I was also being a bit of a coward lol. When I first started playing, I was dead set on marrying Shane (I can save him…) but now I’m not sure. Part of me wants to experience all the heart events with everyone but another part of me thinks it’s sad how empty their lives seem to become once you marry them.

I think stuff like being able to play fetch with the dogs would be a more immersive way to build our relationship with them. I would also love to be able to craft furniture (like cat trees), train them to do certain commands and give them treats.
I was also the anon who asked about the mushrooms! I now know that you can make life elixirs and stirfry (>>193980) but I am kind of wishing that I chose the fruit cave since I'm at a point where I'm making money off of my fruit and veggie preserves. I just heard the mushroom cave was better so that's why I picked it.

He starts spregging that her art was a waste of wood, mocks her and storms out once you comment that her bed is actually beautiful.>"Stay away from my daughter because I don't want anyone to be in the way in her bright future">Completely ignores the existence of Sebastian to a point where Sebastian purposely leaves the house only when Demetrius leaves the lab >There is also some cutscene where it's shown how much of a passive-agressive dick he is towards Sebastian but I forgot which oneI am not even married to Sebastian in-game, I just enjoyed getting as many cutscenes with the characters as I can, but goddamn Demetrius…is something else.

>>198212Nonna are you playing on some console? idk how it feels on other platforms but try to do small fast taps of the button instead of holding and letting it go, and if you have a fish that wiggles up and down really fast try to keep the bar in the middle of it's path instead of trying to chase it, and when it gets slower then start following again. Also if you don't want the bar to bounce when you drop it to the bottom, you can tap the button just when it hits the ground so it doesn't hop. It requires some timing though
It also gets easier once you level up, so if you're really struggling you can always play the long game, and get a training rod (25g) which limits the fish you catch to few easy ones and grind the levels out.
Seems to me it's best to grind that way in mountain lake since it has 3 of the few fish with highest xp gains for training rod (18 base)You can do it! Don't let the fish bully you!

I just found out the most big brained way to make money in the first year without too much effort. I was watching a run of 100 days in Stardew valley, and this person made friends with the villagers that would send you the most useful stuff first. If you reach 2 hearts with Caroline and go to the room in her kitchen she will show you how to make tea bushes. Once you learn the recipe you can craft them out of wood,fiber & wild seeds, which aren't that hard to make in the early game if you've been picking up as many foragbles as possible.
Instead of planting them for the tea you can just sell the saplings as is for 500 gold each. It might take a bit of effort to make the wild seeds and get the two hearts with Caroline (she likes daffodils which grow in spring so spam her with any gold quality ones) but if you can do that you can make a lot of money in Spring Y1 easily. I am always struggling to make enough for the coop and chickens early game so if this could help you even afford that then you'll be set.

If I've already played Stardew Valley, is keeping up with Story of Seasons (formerly Harvest Moon) worth it? I was a fan of HM for years but SV felt like it had everything that HM should have had.

I've been thinking about starting a multiplayer farm for this occasion because I imagine it could be nice to discover new stuff with others but my actual experiences with it haven't been that great so far kek have any of you ever had a good time in multiplayer?

On the other hand, starting a new multiplayer farm to explore the new content sounds super fun. I've never done a multiplayer before though (no friends). Maybe we should set up a lc farm?

>>193921Sorry for responding to this old post but I agree. I have a love/hate (leaning towards hate tbh) towards Shane. I find him more realistic than the other characters - probably because I lived through that sort of scenario. You want to try and save them but ultimately learn you cannot. Only in a fantasy they can be fixed. They have to learn how to save themselves. I really wish that his marriage room wasn't some sloppy, mess moid cave. But it's realistic. Like you see a little improvement in his events where he stops drinking and he relies on soda or sparkling water (I think??). Even Marnie has a dig on his alcoholism when he tells her that he's been happier these days. I wish there was just a little more redemption with him. I don't think I'll marry him this round. I think he's a better friend than a partner.

Normally I tend to try and min/max everything, rushing the community centre etc, but now I'm taking my time just exploring it all.
It's a shame a lolcow multiplayer never took off. Seems to me the safest way to connect to other female gamers without risking getting stuck with troons. Who knows though, with the upcoming update allowing for more players in multiplayer, something might get set up anyway. Will be keeping my eye on this thread just in case

>>362504Never played multiplayer yet, I have friends who play Stardew valley too but because we're all at different time zones we never got around to play together.
I don't know how to feel about the new update, the last one with the tropical island was a bit of a mixed bag to me. Especially the golden walnut collection thing (there's always one goddamn collectible I can't find, it's the curse of my gaming life). Guess I'll have to see next time I play the game, I have such a backlog of games nowadays which with a full time job is just going to have to wait til I have time.

https://www.change.org/p/pronoun-options-for-trans-and-non-binary-players-in-stardew-valleyThis feels really rude and demanding especially considering he does most of the developing alone, a petition just feels so entitled. Surely if he wanted it in his game he would have done it? Someone has probably made a mad anyway. Wouldn't be surprised if he ended up adding multi genders at some point to appease these people.
No. 368712
>>368706God I hope he never gives in. He'd have to add a new body type, new pool room, new interactions with characters where gender matters (Alex, Leah..) and then they'll get mad at him for every single thing still.
>Why did Alex say he expected nonbinary people to have a certain skill level in sports? This is so transphobic!Also funny that no one cares that small town people have outdated ideas about women but they won't accept the reality that none of them would accept a tranny.

>>368721Speaking of stardew clones has anyone seen the guy claiming that he got screwed over by CA on twitter? Apparently he worked on stardew but he's now making his own game sun kissed city. He's been promoing his game for awhile but a lot of people would just dismiss it as a blatant stardew clone. Now it looks like he's trying to expose CA though I don't think anyone noticed yet. I don't really care but a lot of people have CA on such a high pedestal that I feel like he'll get a huge amount of backlash if it gains traction.

I divorced Sebby today. I've played sdv on and off for years but across all save files, the one consistency is that I marry him each time around.
In my most recent play through, I really thought about him and started to get irked. I always side-eyed his canon romance with Abigail and I get that he marries the farmer but I still want to run him over with my horse when I see his goofy 2 pixel skrillex looking ass walking to go hang out with Abi and Sam Friday nights. Like bitch your wife just came back from 12 hours of mining and you're going out late to go see the manic pixie dream girl you used to pine for.
I'm going to make Elliot my malewife this time around. Emo boy can rot in his basement for now.

Has anyone picked up the official cookbook yet? My friend got it for me and I haven't made anything from it yet, but the recipes look really good and I like that the writing stays true to the game. The art is cute, though the style makes some of the character portraits look a little wonky (Elliott in particular looks kinda goofy). I'm gonna try making either the clam chowder or the carp surprise for dinner today.
>>383775Based, Elliott will forever be my favourite male romance option. Plus he also gives you coffee!

i'm so sad the green rain happens only once a year. i wouldn't mind if the foraging got nerfed in exchange of having it happen more frequently.
i was thinking of marrying each bachelor/ette at least once, but now that i'm with Krobus it's hard to let him go. he is just perfect for my farmer. i don't care about children, but i would consider it if it was with Krobus.

I think it’s safe to say he’ll never give in. He posts very discreetly though because if word gets out that he’s a 4channer he’d get cancelled by his community quick.

He's a wholesome fella compared to most of the moids on 4chan, fwiw.
Pic also related: it's a photo he posted back in 2015 in one of the agdg threads, with him and his gf on /vg/. This pic was posted before Stardew officially released on 2016, it's not on any social media either so it's clear to say it's not some impersonator. He really is a /v/irgin.
>How do you know he is not a LARPer pretending to be CAApe is a legitimate regular on /agdg/ and has posted many updates on SDV while he was working on the game. This was all before the official release in 2016. If anyone else is interested I can try to find those updates on the agdg archives but it's going to take me awhile lol. There's also a dev screenshot of Haunted Chocolatier (his upcoming game) on the /agdg/ archives somwehere, I'm still trying to find it.

I think if a normie were to piece all these information together like this they would feel disgusted, maybe even betrayed to find out that their favorite wholesome indie developer who made their favorite game turned out to be a casual racist from 4chud all this while. And that’s not even bringing up the fact that a large portion of SV’s community is also super left-wing in the first place.

i can believe the allegations from his former coworker, but without concrete proof and just gamedev threads on 4chan, the fans won't believe him.
Besides having a loyal fanbase, CA is smart about being silent on socmedia about things outside of his games, or about sjw complaints about his games (eg, pronoun bullshit, not enough
POC, he doesn't even adress them, just ignores). as long as his fuck ups can't be archived he is safe for being cancelled.

i think this alone is much more controversial than a couple of 4chan posts or baseless accusations from a disgruntled former employee, especially towards the game’s majority left-wing fanbase. in fact if anything it probably reinforces all the accusations.
at this point, if it looks like a toad, smells like a toad, and croaks like a toad, then it’s most probably a toad; CA is almost definitely your average racist 4chan chud kek.
if this becomes more commonly known it’s reaaallyy gonna ruin the industry sweetheart image CA has cultivated for himself.

20% of the general consists of footages of games in development as they ask for feedback, and honestly they all look like shit lmao. Other anons think so too, in fact they literally tell each other “give up” and “it’s over for you”.
30% consists of suicidal anons who want to kill themselves because of how shit their games look or how badly their games (deservedly) flopped on steam because a lot of them quit their jobs (or are already unemployed NEETs) to make their games full-time.
10% consists of anons either worshipping Eric (who I assume is ConcernedApe), or coping that their game will do as well as his, or Undertale, or Minecraft (apparently all these games came from agdg or /v/ according to them), so they can retire a multimillionaire/billionaire and live like a wealthy NEET in japan for the rest of their lives with their imaginary japanese waifu who’ll marry them because they’re rich.
The rest consists of anons who aren’t making any games whatsoever and are just there for shitposting and schadenfreude as they laugh at everyone else’s failing games and mock their suicidal tendencies.
I really have to hand it to ConcernedApe, I can’t imagine being subjected to that kind of environment every day and still coming up with a modern day classic like Stardew
