That's a pretty nice setup, maybe I'll actually start a new game for once. I've still only got my first, original save file on the default farm.

Originally my excuse was that my original greenhouse had fruit trees on the exterior, non-soil tiles and I didn't want to give that up but seems like that's a thing again since 1.1.

This is really cool! A lot of what's been added is stuff I was using mods for, so it's awesome to see the features become part of the base game. Echoing the sentiment that this could have been a paid expansion from other developers.

The Forester profession now causes 25% more wood to drop from trees/stumps/logs, instead of raising the value of wood by 50%.

I don't think that's enough to really make it worthwhile but I haven't played 1.3 or 1.4 yet and I know in those material costs go up at Robin's shop after the first year or whatever, but at least it's something that someone could conceivably use at some point

The best part of this update is that, while it's playing the title intro thing where the birds fly by and stuff, you can click and it'll take you directly to the menu instead of making you wait. That poo poo has been bothering me since the day the game was released

The other features might be cool, I don't know, I'll have to see

I know this is going to sound a bit dramatic but I think it's really cool to see a master class game designer just doing his thing and releasing major drops for free. I know this update will likely drive more sales overall (and it's a smart business plan), but it still feels charitable and wholesome.

It's kind of uplifting.

Wife and I started a new farm this afternoon after having not played for like a year or something. I'm really looking forward to this dumb farm game because we desperately need something for destressing us right now.

We picked 4 Corners even though it's just the two of us and decided to lay claim to half the map each so we can do whatever we want.

It's certainly a change I've argued for. Takes the perk from "utterly useless" to "competitive", if nothing else. I can always use more wood. Both level 10 perks on the Gatherer side are still very strong, though.

The early mines have certainly become harder, not the enemies but the mining itself. Starting from floor 15 most rocks suddenly take 5 swings instead of 1 with your starting pickaxe. When I somehow still made it to floor 20, the spiral layout, a large rock blocked my path and all I could do was go back. Guess you can't just barrel down with your starting pickaxe anymore. Makes me very interested in the deeper parts of the mine.

that's an issue we accidentally launched with, but it should've been fixed in a hotfix we put out sometime shortly after launch (along with a last minute fix-turn-crash related to sending messages that're just single emojis). if it's still happening though, lemme know and i can make sure it's taken care of

Ah, that explains a lot, it was such a sudden thing, but I was too busy playing that I didn't bother checking if it could've been a bug. At least I'll have my pickaxe upgraded nice and early. Now to get through a full day of work first before I can get to my crops.

This update is the best thing to happen to Stardew Valley. It's like they took a list of most of the annoying things and eliminated them all. Animals are so much better now that you can just walk through them.

Also great to see sheds getting an upgrade. I always hated the barn maze. If my math is right I think it now can hold one more keg than a upgraded barn?

I could go on but I'd be reposting like half of the patch notes. I feel like I owe the team money for this. Maybe I'll buy the soundtrack or something.

Now all the game needs is a way for it to display villager schedules in some fashion so I can find them easier, showing scarecrow area, Sandy moving in at my farm and way more social interactions with all people. Oh and this and this and also this... :v:

No matter what you believe, I don't believe in you.

The main two things I miss from modded 1.3 vs. vanilla 1.4 is a map to show where the hell villagers are and a radius display for scarecrows, yeah. Most of the other must-have QoL stuff is now built into the game. Seriously impressed ConcernedApe's still shoving content into this free and not making it paid DLC.

Some of those QOL changes are insanely good, it's so cool they're adding them in years after release.

Can you edit your dog/cat after starting a game? I've been slowly working through a playthrough and don't really want to restart...

Yeah I'm impressed he puts this much time in it still for free updates. If I was in his place I'd have probably hosed off to retire and do rich people stuff as soon as the multiplayer update was pushed out.

If I heard correctly, he sat down with his millions and pondered what he could do with it that would really make him happy. And came to the conclusion that what made him happy was working on Stardew Valley.
