I just bought this game based on all the hype and a strange craving for this sort of game yesterday. I also freaked out when the game loaded up and said Chucklefish and immediately regretted my decision until I learned they were just the publisher and it's actually a complete, really fun game despite that.

Does that game actually remember which silos have hay in them? Like, if I have one silo, and I fill it up, then mid winter I build a second silo, then tear the first one down, will I still have hay or no?

The complete exclusion of meat as a product also produces some interesting results. Like what a pig would be doing on a farm if not for meat.

But it's probably better for the tone of the game to keep it that way.

Truffles, obviously, just like in real life.

And I will hear no more on the subject.

Not watering crops won't kill them, just delay growth. I think it's lightning that randomly kills the occasional crop.

I wouldn't mind like a challenge mode or something, where the crop prices are more randomized and can change, either through random events or by you flooding the marketing.

I hated fishing at first because it was hard, but really just stick with it for a few minutes and it gets easier. Also any kind of +fishing food really helps early on. The legendary fish will still take your pole away and gently caress you with it, but they are legendary so, you know.

The fishing minigame is interesting because unlike most minigames there really is a learning curve. It's hard as balls at first, but if you stick with it a bit, it really does get a lot easier.

Can you just leave barns/coops open all the time? I thought the animals didn't like that, and I've always closed the doors. In the morning I'll go into the barn/coop for my daily petting and feeding and whatever, and let them out afterwards to frolic fence free.

Also what does the heater actually do? I've gone through two winters without one and everyone stays happy and productive.

I guess my actual advice to someone just starting out is to do your best to stay away from wikis and guides for as long as you can, because it's much more rewarding to figure poo poo out on your own, despite the guides being really tempting. And you can't really gently caress anything up so don't worry about doing it wrong.

Except being friends with Clint. gently caress that guy.

Can someone clarify, since I don't have the materials to try it and the greyed out buttons aren't clear. If you want a big barn do you have the option of building a big barn from scratch or upgrading a normal barn into a big barn, or are you required to have a barn already and upgrade that into a big barn? It seems like the former but that doesn't make a lot of sense which makes me think its the latter.

I really think that something like that would be reflected in the wiki by now.

Are you sure that letting rocks build up results in better quality stuff spawning, or are you just seeing 50 new rocks at once instead of 3 or 4 so you are more likely to have a few good ones in there?

Man, quality levels are a lot more trouble than they are worth, it seems like most of the time it just makes several of an item take up 3x the inventory space, or its preventing me from turning in stacks. And then they end up not mattering most of the time because its all processed into artisanal poo poo. I wish there was a way to drop quality levels of stuff in your inventory. Just bruise that silver tomato up a bit or something so it stacks with the rest.

You can't catch upgraded quality fish, but for spamming to level its great.

By upgraded quality fish do you mean that all the fish I catch with that think will all stack correctly instead of having normal/silver/gold/iridium stacks for every type of fish? Because that alone would make it worth it for catching trash fish.

I think Emily actually wound up sending me Cloth in the mail before I was able to get a rabbit going.

Question: The Wiki implies that the stuff dropped by the Train will still be there if the player isn't present, but gets there before the turn of the day.

I've only started playing the game in the last couple weeks, but I've never found anything a train dropped if I didn't get there while the train was still passing through. Is the wiki describing the way Trains worked in an earlier version, or is it wrong, or am I?

I've checked the train 3 or 4 times in 1.4, usually while it was still running, and I have seen the train drop exactly zero items.

I'm more bothered by the bathhouse than the train really. The train can just be a thing that exists for no real reason other than to exist, but the bathhouse is teasingly close to being a really helpful mechanic but isn't.
