I would be really upset if the my time series goes into dark/depressing themes this game is a really nice escape from the outside world. Like someone said above I think they could pull it off but like it's the last thing I want in terms of themes. A wild frontier though or like that train idea, oh yes.

the entire peach stuff would be ok, changing things from really lovely to good seems like it would fit?

Rian always has easy wood commissions available but he's always asleep when I seek him out to deliver them. I'm having to barge into him bedroom behind his wife's back to wake him up by giving him my wood, every time.

Alright. Vasectomy yesterday complete. Today I have 4 bags of frozen peas and this game and that’s all I’ve got to do.

In case I'm not the only one too stupid to understand it right away: If you buy an items that unlocks a Tab feature (planting kit, camera, horse whistle, construction kit, etc) then you can sell it right away after unlocking the feature. You don't need to keep it. To protect yourself in a sandstorm you only need the headgear in your apparel slot, you don't need to actually equip it. You can move farm plots via the house editor.

I keep reading about ‘delaying’ the main quest so you can stock up etc. I haven’t made a lift yet, so is it possible for me to just stock up on basics before moving forward? I remember the first definitely always feeling some pressure to get things done quickly or someone would snipe it out from under you.

Do not stock up. There is zero need. There is plenty of downtime in the story.

Saxophone posted:I keep reading about ‘delaying’ the main quest so you can stock up etc. You could but main story progress gives you access to new tools/materials that in turn make you more efficient, so personally I don't see the point. I'm "only" 40 hours in, but so far I've been spending my money/resources liberally and it feels like that was the right way to go. When I don't have the resources to finish a mission/commission I just buy it somewhere and then continue re-investing the rewards, and always come out positive out of the exchange in one way or another. If I had to give any other piece of advise is to always have your machines running. If you don't need to build anything in particular then build whatever you have the least of. You'll need that stuff eventually so you might as well prepare it in advance.

Don't be shy building multiple machines. I ramped up to 5 recyclers within the first week because they are cheap and you can get tons of scrap. Also don't be shy with water - buying it is cheap once a week and still not bad past that.

You can buy 5-10 units of water every day for basically nothing.

The only time I "paused" the main story was to delay one of the later missions by almost a month so I got the ending in spring instead of water (it looks nicer).

The only time I put a "pause" on the main story was so I could get married before the point of no return (that happens about 60% through the game) so that I could get married before the point of no return. Did I need to? No. But I did it for my own story headcanon. There is so much downtime in the story that you don't need to over prepare or pre-craft things. I was thinking that once I finish this game, I'll probably play it again in a year or two once they add more stuff via patches. If I do, I'll probably do so with the following restrictions: - No more than 1 of any machine. - No changing the time from 1.0 speed. - Must be to bed by midnight every night (holidays excepted). - No taking "bonus" commissions.

It's sometimes worth delaying em at least a few days just so you don't end up with awkward days with important story stuff going on same as a festival or town event. Nothing breaks but it's just giving neither side the full day attention I'd like. Does feel cool to save the town from disaster then still win 3 dance competitions though.

I just finished the game without ever buying water. Was a bit rough in the first week but honestly after that you're fine. Build some dew collectors, refine your machines for water efficiency, unlock the water efficiency skills, get pets out collecting water.

Megazver posted:At the very least plant a couple of each tree, yes. Yeah, some people mention only making one, but I have one of each and it's not quite sufficient to keep up with commissions (at least the coffee part, anyways - it's actually been okay so far for the other tree). Right now I have a coffee commission that I won't be able to fill for two more game-days (when my next harvest comes in). 2 seems like it will be overkill, but that's better than running short and doesn't cost me much.

A good fifth of my workshop space is dedicated to dew collectors and what they produce is just a drop in the bucket compared to how much water I use.

Two of each works really well, yeah. Wouldn't go any higher than that - there's no real reason to sell produce unless you're doing a commission, and even then the commissions are more just backups for when you don't want to do yet another three loving petrified wood commissions.

Rolled credits around 70 hours, very satisfying. On the pre-construction scale I was pretty low, before I had a factory I would run scrappers all the time and generally smelt all the ore I had all the time, probably averaged around 20-100 of each ingot and not much else. I did some farming but mostly for its own sake and for animals, I never really did the alternate commissions unless there was just absolutely nothing, and I would sometimes fail them because like it needed meat stuffed mushrooms but uh those don't grow in winter or whatever. We stan unsuur

I can't really stand minigames so I didn't do most of them and I think I didn't do that much social interaction (though I did all the sidequests that popped up). Popped a lot of heatstroke meds etc, maxed out commissions. I really like these games and play the hell out of them but playing the hell out of them can sometimes lead to just blitzing through. Is your playtime more about taking days slowly or taking more days? I finished in winter year 2

I'm currently in Summer Year 2. I have my speed set to 0.6 though, which gives me a lot of time in the day. At my current point, I'm pretty much out of all side content though and I have enough resources that I could probably blitz the remainder of the game. I bet I have about sub-10 hours left if I just focus on main story. Story-wise, I have all four ruins open and am back to building the Portia tunnel. My one main complaint is that side quests are horribly paced and front-loaded. I wish they were better paced out across the main story. I feel like the Summer/Autumn year 1 are filled with side quests popping up 2-4 per day. Now it's just a drought.

It can also snatch away your items. It says that if you follow the direction of the wind, you can find the things that blew away, but I've never found anything that I've lost that way, so I always put on my goofy mask so I don't lose all my poo poo.

For reference in a "built every project the same day it was available" in portia i think i had it completed in late winter. so a bit longer game, altho as i mentioned before most of the projects felt... smaller also most of the minigames in this are at least tolerable, except the sandsledding, which sucks since it is quite easy to get literally stuck in it

Just like with Portia, the back half of the game tends to go a lot faster than the front half. Since majority of the sidequests are frontloaded. In the back half of the game there are relatively few side quests and I often end up going to bed by 2pm in game because there's not much to do.

I don't usually like using mods that heavily change the intended game mechanics the first time I play through a game but I'm this close to installing the polyamory mod... It's just so hard to choose.
