I don't have too much of a problem with the run speed especially with auto-run on (literally unplayable without it) but I would like a quicktravel to farm or sleep.

The game almost certainly assumes you have played any number of the previous Harvest Moon games, all of which laboriously string you through tutorials for the first in-game week or so.

Week, ha. The 3DS games extend it for an entire month. :shepface:

So glad this game came out and is a thing that people are playing. I thought it might never be real. Really happy for the devdude too that it's apparently selling well.

So I'm on day 21, but the wiki says you get the pet at day 12?
do I need to do something specific to start that process or what's up?

Looks like a patch just dropped:

Fixes a few bugs, crashes, and unintended behaviors in Stardew Valley:

Fixed random crash when going to sleep after getting your pet
Sound effect volume now properly applied on load
'Error item' should no longer appear for sale in the Saloon
'Z' key is now bind-able
No longer possible to exit the Community Center menus while holding an item.
Finding your first artifact from a geode no longer destroys remaining held geodes.
Mature wild crops no longer disappear on day of load.
Crab pots can now be placed and removed without issue.
Fixed crash when inspecting chests in the mines.
You can no longer place chests in the mines
Tree seeds no longer incorrectly show a "Wrong Season" message
Fixed some map issues

I am aware of some more issues & will fix them as soon as possible!

Sometimes you reach a stalemate. Sometimes you get magic horses.
A farmer knee deep in piled monster corpses, starving, hungry, and frantic, sweeping through the depths of the bottomless mines. The driving force that brings him to such desperate measures is that he seeks iron so that he may make a sprinkler for his tulip garden.

i hope i can build linus a house. first thing the dude said to me was "please don't destroy my tent." he must've seen real rough times.

There's a cutscene where he eats out of the trash, and is terrified when he's about to get caught. He gets caught by you, asks if you think what he's doing is wrong, leaves, checks another can. Then the bartender catches him and offers to feed him leftovers if he's hungry. That hit me hard.

I got my cat on the 11th day. I got her the morning after the explosion while I was sleeping.

Arcland posted:

I'm enjoying the game but I think I might wait a couple days or a week in the hopes of the movement speed being increased a bit. It's really a turnoff.

Don't hold your breath. I can't find it, but I think I remember reading something about how ConcernedApe put a lot of time into balancing how fast time flows in the game, and how it corresponds to run speed. I forget how it all came together, but I just have this idea that this isn't something that he's going to really evolve on.

I don't think it's that bad. I'd like it to be a little faster, but I'd fear that if he bends on this, he'd take it too far.

On certain levels of the mines you can find abandoned minecarts that have 5 or 6 coal each in them. Other than that, I had better results from breaking rocks around my farm than in the mines when it came to coal. You can also buy it from the blacksmith if you really want.

Modding update:

Crossposting from my post in the Chucklefish forums. http://community.playstarbound.com/threads/modding-progress-so-far.106868/

In short:
1. The game's data is stored in PNG and XML files within the XNB files.
2. The XNB files containing the game's data can be nearly completely unpacked with a few exceptions.
3. PNG files can be edited and repacked into XNB files which successfully change the appearance of the game.
4. XML files containing values for the game like crop types, weapon strength, fish locations, etc exist, but I have not been able to successfully repack them into XNB files. The developer may be needed to help with this.

so I got a quest to catch an eel, where should i be fishing for those? the ocean?

this game is pretty fun, i've been spending most of my time in the mine. i'm down to like 35f now at almost the end of spring but it's getting kind of scary in there... i feel like there's a lot of cutscenes i haven't gotten by now that other people would have though, not sure what's going on there.

e: vvv Thanks, and dang. It's not going to rain for the next couple days. :( Dammit, Sebastian and your goony, goony heart.

Sounds like maybe where the water is smooth from 4pm (1600 hours) to 2am (2600 hours) during the spring and fall while rainy?

Possible fishing pro tip: The little bubbles that appear on the surface of the water every now and then seems to drastically increase the rate in which you get bites. I found one off the docks on the ocean and got bite after bite until the thing disappeared.

Also, Iron ore starts appearing after floor 40 of the mines.

This is way ahead of where most of y'all are, but here's a tip for the Luau festival in summer: try bringing a Gold Star food item for the communal potluck. A regular hot pepper caused the soup to be "nothing special."

I also can't wait for mods to pop up that modify the amount of time crafted items process for. Some of these secondary items take way too long to process.

Cat is default so if you did not actually click the dog you get the pet you deserve.

I feel like the run speed is fine, it's a bit slow but that's fine for a chill game like this..

..except the game isn't very chill when time moves so fast I barely get across town before having to head back and sleep :( I know I'm a slowpoke but in games like this I like to stop and inspect everything, talk to everyone, etc. and time moves way too fast for that. I'd like it if it was at least 0.5x as fast. Maybe I should try modding it too.

Once you get the event where you see the mayor sighing over the community center and he shows you inside and you see the little green spirits, you'll get a letter from the wizard the next day inviting you over.

That event might be triggered by completing the 'meet everyone in town' quest (you don't need to meet the wizard or anyone behind a blocked off area for that.. except for the emo in the basement, you have to wait until he comes out of his room)

I think you need to look at the letter in the West part of the building with the unintelligible writing to trigger it.
