So I've patched the game to remove the dumb slow diagonal movement, and it feels A LOT less sluggish. Here's a link for anyone interested: http://urcraft.com/download/SV-DiagPatch.zip

~~I'll probably do an increased speed one too, but not by a huge amount.~~

Here's one with a little speed increase: http://urcraft.com/download/SV-DiagSpeedPatch.zip

I suggest trying out the diagonal-only one first though, as the speed one could be a little overkill.

If you play the prairie arcade game make sure to not use the zombie powerup on the zombie boss in the graveyard section. It insta-killed him yes but it also caused the game to glitch out and play both the battle and victory music at the same time with no victory screen or anything. Just my guy standing there looking like a dummy. :negative:

I feel really dumb asking this but how do I plant something? I've got the ground tilled and wet, ready to receive my seed, but I can't figure out how to do it.

Figured it out but now it seems running diagonally is faster than running in any other direction, and this is using the version without the speed increase. Is it possible to tone down the diagonal running speed a bit, or is this more some funky math related issue? Doesn't, or didn't Half Life have the same issue?

Exploit: If you open the menus you can have the haze+monster swarm thing pass in the mines with nothing spawning and time not moving forward.

edit: vvv It will go back to dirt in time.

If I gently caress up and till the wrong square, does it ever "go away" back to normal dirt?

Yes. You can also hit it with the pick axe. Careful because you can remove plants with the pick axe.

Yeah, you just throw it in the folder and run it instead of the normal exe. Alternatively you can rename it to Stardew Valley.exe and start it normally.

In a grid based game you move 1.4x (sqrt2 actually) faster going diagonally unless it forces you to move up/down or decreases run speed. This is why diagonal run speed is decreased in this game. It's not actually slower than going left/right.

I feel bad for saying this but does anyone think it's a bit too faithful to the old harvest moon games? Feeling a grind and I've not even finished a year or upgraded all my tools yet. Think I'm going to put it down until there is a faster progression mod.

If the basic sprinkler just needed copper that'd help. Watering plants is a chore.

I'll do one with a toned down diagonal speed decrease instead of just outright removing it.

To anyone wondering if it's possible to get a higher max energy: yes.

You start out at 270, I'm now at 304.

If you want to know how:
What increases it: You can find Stardrop fruits, you'll immediately eat them and think of your favorite thing, and get a higher max energy.

How I got it: There's one at level 100 of the mines.

Uh, here's an update on that whole arcade game glitch. Apparently it breaks the game for good. I tried playing a new game on a new day and my guy stands there all alone, waiting for enemies that never show up. So be warned. NEVER EVER USE THE ZOMBIE POWERUP ON THE ZOMBIE BOSS! Worst case scenario I'm going to have to start a new game. Gonna try quitting and restarting to see if that works.

Mm, this game doesn't save when you level up bug is a tad bit annoying. Three days now of constant levelups and no prompt that I'm saving, and I don't really want to just waste a day by sleeping.

There's also a nightly special at the tavern that can boost max energy. I think it was the bean hotpot

I've got my better fishing pole around day 12 if not earlier. I just can't afford it quite yet, but I'm bringing in a thousand gold a day farming, before costs so I'll have it tomorrow, no doubt. There's a couple things I think it could be, but I will note I have Fishing Level 2.

Nah, I'm pretty sure it still did. Blowing 75-95 bucks on video games in a week is still going to stymie people... if they even noticed Stardew came out, it doesn't seem like Steam gave it a lot of fan fair, weirdly.

None of the .exes from this are working for me. Could you package the files straight into the zip rather than use the .exe to install it?

It's not an install, replace your current exe with the exe in the zip or launch it from the directory the current exe is in (steamapps/common etc)

Restarting the game seems to have fixed it, I'm back to blasting zombies, thank goodness. I think I heard it mentioned earlier that you can't apply bait to the starting bamboo rod, right? Or can you? If so, how?

Also fishing protip; if you get a chance at a chest, make sure you reel in both the fish AND the chest; if the fish escapes then you won't get the chest even if you filled the meter up, which is kind of dumb. Is the chest attached to the fish or something? :v:

A good strategy, if the fish icon won't get near the chest is to fill the fish bar to near full so you'll have plenty of time to get the chest and get back to the fish before the bar runs out.

you really, really shouldn't overextend yourself in the mines. it's not worth going down another level if you're basically on the brink and/or it's nearly midnight. as it is you basically need to dedicate most of a day to spelunking anyways, so come back the next day as early as you can once you've done your chores and you should be able to knock out like 10 levels easily.

I've gotten super lucky and on my last point of energy found the ladder to a elevator level then bounced.

At what farming level does the Quality Sprinkler unlock? I don't want to build up these crappy basic ones when I'm probably close to the next level.
