Holy gently caress I just realized save games are cross compatible from mobile to PC :psypop::psypop::psypop:

This was like the one thing holding me back from getting back into this, I had about a 10 hour save on mobile that I played recently and a ~40 hour save on PC from years ago. I didn't want to completely start over but didn't want to play the super late game save either. This rules.

Any sort of mod out there that lets me pin recipes? Something that would allow me to for example mark the 100 stone needed to build a silo that I could check back at the farm because I'm too dumb to remember what I wanted to make by the time I get home.

I cannot thank enough the person in this thread who suggested Seasonal Villager Outfits.

It adds so much more variety to the game than I was expecting.

This is cool, thanks for the heads up. Some of the portraits are so-so but it does make the seasons feel more distinct.

I find fishing in this game extremely tedious and is always the last thing that ends up unfinished in the community center. I know there's mods to make it easier but it just feels like cheating at that point.

Does the mini game get easier as you level up in some way? I'm not sure if I ever got past level 3 or so but if the bar expands while leveling up that might convince me to spend more time doing it.

Depending on your fishing level and fishing rod, the green catchment area increases in size. I believe fish also stop behaving as erratically the higher your fishing level.

And the River Farm is...not great.

I went with the River Farm in my current game because the previous game I played always had me lagging behind with the fish community goals and yeah I am not having the greatest time with it with pretty much no benefit as far as catching fish is concerned anyway. I have space for crops and have a coop and barn now on the main patch of land but I'm not sure what I'll be doing with the other space. I think eventually I might just move my crops to the other smaller patches of land and leave the animals on the main one but I haven't gotten that far yet.

Oh that's good to know that the pan is poo poo, I got it and haven't really paid attention to it but I also haven't seen any sparklies in the water so meh.

I'm bummed because just before the end of year 1 I had ~30K and bought a shitton of wood/stone to do a farmhouse upgrade (for MY WIFE) and the first coop upgrade too, but I wish I would've bought more when the price was so cheap. I didn't know the cost went up at the start of the second year or I would've bought way more of the stuff :(

You can own rabbits with the level 3 coop, pretty sure you get it somehow that way. I just got one so I dunno if I have to kill one of those or if they just drop them like the duck feathers.

Is there any way to learn what gifts people like other than trial and error or just looking it up in the Wiki?

Eventually you get the ability to uncover secret notes in the world, some of those notes have gift lists for people that tell you what they love. Other than that it's trial-and-error and go by the response you get from them for that gift or look it up on the wiki.

I don't think this is accurate - I've only heard about PC/Mobile and that seems to be uncorroborated as far as I can tell

PC/Mobile cross save is absolutely possible, I took my save from mobile onto PC and have played there since. Worked without a problem by dropping the files in the right folder. I'm not sure if Switch/PC would work, EDIT: some googling tells me it does not work. Mobile to PC or PC to Mobile only from what I can tell.

Transferring from mobile with no mods to PC with mods worked perfectly fine. I'm not sure how it would be vice versa if you're going from a modded PC save and putting it on mobile. I feel like the modded stuff would just disappear but I haven't tried it.

This might be a stupid question but is there something like a dedicated server for this that I could run and friends could play on regardless of whether I'm on at the time? I found this Multiplayer Docker thing that sounds like maybe the closest I'll get to that where it auto-starts I guess an instance of the game when my friends connect to it. This probably doesn't exist because something like this wouldn't really work in SDV but figured I'd ask if it's been done before.

Started playing this co-op last night and really digging some of the mod suggestions that I went with. I like the fish one that shows the fish in the water, feels non-cheaty like the skip minigame mod might but helps a lot.

I didn't realize when starting a co-op map that selecting 2 as the number of houses would build 2 including the standard cabin. Am I able to delete one of those houses since it's just going to be two of us playing?

God this game is hard to peel away from once you get going. Loving the mods so far, haven't even really started with Automation yet but simple poo poo like the F1 to lookup anything mod is fantastic. Convenient Inventory with the deposit to nearby feature is great, NPC map locations is great, Visible Fish is great... just a bunch of little things that really improve the experience without feeling overly cheaty.

Got a co-op farm going with a friend but I might have to start a solo game to play on my own time :f5:

Been real fun playing co-op with my friend because we both realized that I always prioritized farming upgrades and leveling to make more money and left fishing/combat till I had everything else done and he always did the bare minimum in the farm to support his fishing and cave diving. So we both naturally started doing what the other guy wasn't doing, pretty funny.

Thank you, Ducks it is!

Also want to give a shout out to the pause time mod, it's useful when playing co-op and I need to go take care of something but don't want to inconvenience my friend. I did have to adjust the settings to make it not auto-pause all the time, by default it pauses time if anyone opens the menu or is in a cutscene but since it's just the two of us I set it so we both have to be in a menu for it to auto pause. Then I have the button to manually pause if I have to go do something irl so he can dick around without worrying about me not being back before it forces us to the next day.

God, Automate is great. Been getting more comfortable with how it works and it's nice for stuff like the mushroom cave where I can set up paths to count as "conveyors" and have it all auto collect to a chest on the side.

Yeah. That's why it's cheating.

You're not wrong and I'm not ignorant to the fact that it will break open the economy when I really get going but it feels less cheaty (and more fun) than just using cheats to give myself money, plus I've already played through this game a number of times only to sorta fizzle out halfway through so I'm enjoying being able to focus elsewhere like cave diving and exploring while my stuff is working away back at home. Some kind of tax per automation set up would not be a bad idea for at least some semblance of balance though.
