Sebastian won't stop calling it an incubator. Alex tries and fails to follow his hoop dreams and goes deeper in debt to the house. Shane's lack of hygiene and sobriety is a constant issue. Maru lives in the uninsulated garage next to her telescope and the lemon they all share. Abigail starts streaming journey of the prarie king and "IRL" content, makes a fortune, moves into a studio that she never leaves, and no one sees her irl ever again.

Our co-op game slowed the game timer down to 20-seconds-per-10-minutes (the original rate is 7s). A little too slow and 15 is probably more appropriate.

I'm glad people enjoy the more time-pressured multiplayer, but as someone who had not played the game before this I'm quite glad there's a mod that allows you to freeze the timer so you have more time to explore and do things.

I'm at Spring of year 4 on my original game (haven't been playing for nearly as long as a lot of people here), and I'm starting to feel like I'm spinning my wheels. Like, I'm sitting on $1 million, and nothing all that interesting to do with it. I've reached the end of the mine ages ago, finished the community center, and gone as far as I want to in the desert mine. Yeah, there's some fish I haven't caught yet, a couple of things I haven't crafted and all, but I don't have a crazy strong desire to really push for any of that. I have a couple of dinosaurs, so that's done.

If I don't feel like doing the no Pierre or JojaMart runs, is there a way to keep the game feeling fresh? Start a new game with one of the other maps? Or do most people just take a break when this happens?

Also, I feel like Crystal Path looks way worse than Cobblestone Path when it's just a single line like I tend to have in between my crops, so I regret changing that out, and will probably change it back.

Might I suggest the Cafe Challenge?

A local coffee shop wants to source their entire inventory from your farm. You've got to supply sufficient coffee, pastries, and Strange Buns.

See, it's stuff like this, and the "gently caress Pierre he is the worst" challenge, that I wish they'd incorporate in game

Maybe something like Recettear's survival mode where you have to pay increasingly large amounts of money at the end of every week.

By inheriting Grandpa's farm you also took on his massive gambling debts and must pay off Mr. Qi every week or have your kneecaps broken.

she perpetually talks down every aspect of Abigail that has to do with the wizard ("I wish she'd stop being interested in the occult, dyeing her hair, hanging out near his tower") but then admits ("don't tell pierre") that she went over to the wizard's tower when they first moved to Stardew Valley

she needs a therapist, I don't know if Robin can build one of those?

though now that I consider it Robin and Maru could, considering one built a self-aware AI and gave it SSTO jet boosters just for fun and the other person can build literally anything in three days ... hmm, this is a possibility.

for 500,000g and 950 wood.

Sure sounds like there's some connection between Abigail and the wizard that Caroline feels guilty about. :thunk:

was there a time when speedwagon didn't get trolled
Multiplayer made me actually appreciate this game. I couldn't really get into it singleplayer so it kind of languished in my library for ages basically unplayed, but playing MP with a couple of friends who had some idea of what the hell they were doing made it click. The only things I really don't enjoy is the seemingly arbitrary nature of what is or isn't shared(everyone gets to pick up their own museum rewards but only one person gets mine checkpoint items???) and the lack of pausing on cutscene means that I don't get to watch any of them because if I watch a cutscene I'll either waste half a day of time or I'll pass out.

It's fun to have people specialize. I'm in two games right now, and in one I decided to be The Fish Man so after a month I've got absolutely no skills but Fishing 10 and I pretty much paid for a lot of our initial layout while everyone else gathered less profitable materials. In the other one I'm much more rounded because there's one less person in the game so I have to do a lot more jobs.

I did the same, except I waited until we had 25k gold and then rushed to the adventurer's guild to buy a lava katana.
I then remained silent and blamed someone else for spending the money :911:

:yeah:

It was a bit tricky to adjust to the idea of having to share the money since we started on a fresh save, but once we got some planning going it got fun. We let the person who just wanted to fish grab a backpack upgrade first since that'd help us the most, while I mostly focused on farming so I'd get more skill ups, while the other player was mostly doing odd tasks and mining. When we had more crops we'd all pitch in on watering so it wouldn't take all day / all energy to do it.

Although one thing I noticed was a bit odd was energy recovery seemed a bit weird. Not sure if it was just because we were going to bed too late, but I'm pretty sure we made it in before 12 a few nights and didn't see full recovery, even without hitting exhaustion the day prior.
