Will be fun if the chocolatier is one of the people who's using some of the food produced by the Stardew Valley farm. For the first year you have access to all sorts of great veggies and fruit, and then for some reason your supplier sends nothing but Starfruit wine.

Complaining about asset reuse for a small dev team that continually provides fantastic work while the main selling point of the 52nd Call of Duty made with the exact same assets as last years $60 game is that it still has the same maps as the 43rd call of duty

You return to Stardew Valley but find it abandoned, all the residents long since gone. Ancient fruit plants sprout from the overgrown ruins, choking out all other flora. In the west, smoke rises from an eerie glow. You approach only to find the walls of a massive fortress, its iron door barred fast. Every ten minutes, a cart filled to the brim with ancient wine and truffle oil emerges.

My main wishlist for them to add to Stardew is to add nuclear bombs. It's supposed to be a cozy game but how can I feel safe if I'm left powerless against any other farm who gets a nuke?

I assume it's because St. Louis has a very reputable symphony orchestra dating back to the 1800s when it was briefly a world class city.

I live in "conceivable day trip" distance from NYC (Connecticut). There's even a train you can take right into the city so you don't have to deal with the crazy New York drivers. :abrathink: Heck if it ain't tempting!

3D has ruined many a farm sim, let us not pray for the ruin of CA's franchise as well

It's really weird how they all fall flat in the transition. You wouldn't think adding an extra dimension to a tile grid would be such a stumbling block.

My Time at Sand Rock is the best 3D take on the genre and it's not really farm focused at all, but mechanically and vibes wise the same spirit more or less. And that game started out in 3D and took a sequel to get great.

What I really want at this point is for someone to connect the dots between Stardew Valley and Animal Crossing and sell me a game I can play for a little while in real time once a week or two hop in for holidays with everyone else is buzzon about it.

I would have spent hundreds of dollars over the last decade if someone had made a good Stardew Crossing on steam and we're still making and selling poo poo for it.

Stardew is really the only farm sim I've ever played, but the comparison in mind was the experience going from Factorio to Satisfactory. I had put a lot of hours into Factorio and figured that Satisfactory would not interest me a lot but it turns out that figuring out 3d factories was just as interesting.

Khanstant
Apr 5, 2007
That's an interest way to look at it. Factoria to satisfactory actually uses the third dimension in a meaningful way. Most 3d harvest dews are just fuglier versions of 2D games and could just as well translate their maps and mechanics to a 2D plane and lose nothing.

Which makes sense, traditional farming basically takes place on a plat plane. I guess there's room for some futuristic hydro indoor arcology farm to play with verticality and logistics wrt to farming.

The 3D game feel both slower and tend towards being more fumbly. When the strict grid breaks down it makes movement feel less precise and leads to frustrating mistakes or time wasted readjusting yourself.

Try Palia. It's a freemium MMO and that's about the right amount of playtime for it. It's biggest downside, besides the monetization path, is that there's hardly anything to do after a bit.

I am not playing a single video right now. The situation is desperate.

EDIT: My favorite Stardew memories are from when I first picked it up and every day felt vital. Efficiency minded, doing enough every day, rushing home before I passed out. Last time I played half of the days I was getting back in bed by 10AM. Something has been lost.

I want to say there’s a mod that makes it where if you talk to a villager each day it slowly raises your friendship with them. Might give you a good reason to get out there each day.

Yeah, talking to villagers gives friendship points. There's even a tracker in the social menu telling you if you've talked to a given villager today, right next to the gifts tracker.

There's a mod called Part of the Community that gives a couple friendship points for everyone who saw you talking to a villager. It also gives some extra points to everyone when you attend festivals (since why wouldn't they be happy to see you?)

It's sort of a cheat mod but if effectively cuts down the drudgery of grinding up friendships by quite a bit, and makes it feel like more of organic, everyone becomes close to you over time sort of thing
