Well, personally I'm lurking until goon views are posted on Friday. I'm sure there's a couple of others doing that too.

Does anybody know how to plant or place things when using a controller? KB+M controls are great, but I like laying back while I play. Everything works just fine with the controller, except when I tried to put down a chest or plant my bean poles, I had to grab my mouse to do it. I feel like I'm missing something.

It's A to plant, not Y.

Did you talk to the Mayor? In the other festivals, talking to him activates the events and ends the festival.

Okay, two issues.

2.) It's summer already where is my kitty???

I paid to upgrade my watering can, but I forgot that I wouldn't have it for the next days.

The 8x8 sprinklers unlock at Farming level 6. Personally I haven't had to use them. With an upgraded watering can, I can take care of 7 9x9 fields fine by hand and have plenty of time for fishing and mining.

Anyone playing this with a steam controller who's got a good config? I've been playing with M+KB so far and would love to chill out with a controller. Game's so good though. Just sat at work planning what crops I'm gonna grow when autumn comes and which animals to buy. :3:

With the exception of rearranging stuff in my house, which I use the mouse for because moving the cursor with the right analog stick is annoying, the default set up is fine.

Does grass die in the winter? I've been assuming it does but haven't seen anyone mention it yet. Got a pretty sizable self-sustaining field growing, want to know if I should stuff it all in the silo before the end of fall.

Yes. Anything growing other than trees in winter immediately becomes covered with snow and disappears.

I feel like watering crops is pretty obvious in a farming RPG that hands you a watering can on the first day.

Yo is this like the good HM games (like BTN) where tie stops when you're in a building, or like the bad ones where it runs constantly?
I really liked old HM games but when I'm playing a game like this I just wanna chill sometimes and not always be on the clock, so going down the mines was a cool way to relax.

It's always running, which sucks.

Where do you actually build a silo anyway? A lot of people advising to build one before a chicken coop, but the carpenter only has upgrade house or chicken coop, and it's not in my crating menu far as I can tell.

There's arrows in the Farm upgrades section at the carpenter that you use to get to other buildings.

Yes, you have to empty them and then hit with a pickax to move them.

I'm mostly curious about restarting my grass once Spring hits again. I'm guessing I'm going to have to keep my animals in for another season if I want to maintain grass inside their pens.

One thing Harvest Moon has over this is quickly regrowing grass. I believe that in the GBA days it only took two days for a grass tile to go from short to fully grown again, and animals did not completely consume grass tiles.

hopeandjoy
Nov 28, 2014



I threw in a suggestion to make grass growth faster or at least make animals not completely destroy grass when they eat it, like in Harvest Moon. I always enjoy keeping a ton of animals in these games, which is why I'm sad it's not really viable.

as someone who lives in the south it's a very fitting noise during the summer. i also like the pseudo-deserty music going on during that season! so far the majority of the soundwork has been great.

What do I have to do in order to start that Bundle thing? I've already seen the Community Center in all its glory disrepair. Also, is there any reason to carry a scythe around when I can go Zelda on the grass and bushes with a sword that doesn't cost energy to swing?

When you build a silo, only the scythe turns grass to hay.

You want every piece of hay you can get.

I play with a 360 controller too and have the occasional problem of the A button simply not working sometimes. I've been able to solve it without exiting the game by hitting start to pull up the menu then just exiting the menu. Give that a try, it might help

Using the right click to do the action also fixes it. (i.e. The click does the action and then my A button starts working again.)
