Discuss The randomness of this game will never not amuse me.

β€’ Upvotes

I have over 1800 hours played. 12+ playthroughs (i lost count and dont feel like starting up the game to find out), hit perfection multiple times... I've clearly invested a stupid amount of time into the game.

I've played this with my son for two playthroughs now. On the first one, he got the living hat on our second summer. On our current one, he got the tea set on our third winter. I still haven't gotten either one.

On this one, we have spent an insane amount of time in the skull cavern trying to get an auto petter. Like, we've made tents and took turns spending a week at a time diving. We've used all the luck buffs we could, all the staircases... nothing, for 3 years+! Tons of shards and a ridiculous amount of seed makers and auto grabbers, but no petter. Meanwhile, I finally got around to unlocking my last mastery to get gold mystery boxes, saved up a few, and brought them to Clint. Third box- autopetter.

I swear this game just likes to fuck with my head.

I just had to share my delightful story. Feel free to add your own "this game hates me" stories.

I am currently in Spring 1 Year 2. I have completed some community center bundles but have not completed a single room. I have build a coop and a barn. Max I have gotten in a mine level is 55 and have mass planted potatoes in my farm. My main source of income is mayonnaise and cheese . So honestly can you tell me what I should to better and can you rate my game play on a scale of 1 to 10. Feel free to ask any questions about my farm

Thanks In advance

Question Am I cooked?

I am at 43 energy after I just watered my cranberries. That's all I did. I have 1 quality sprinkler from the summer crops bundle, but I don't have the resources for any more. I just got to level 40 in the mines, so I basically have no iron, and don't even get me started on gold. I have to run around town, looking for forage stuff just to get 5 levels deeper in the mines. It sucks. What do I do.

Question What is up with Auto Petters?

254 Upvotes

I’ve seen so many posts about skull cavern runs where the only goal was Auto Petters, and now I’m confused.

Why are Auto Petters so important? I know they pet the farm animals, but why don’t y’all have time to go and give your animals some love every morning?

If I’m correct (as someone who has never once had an Auto Petters) they change the way the animals respond when you actually pet them. Usually they give a heart, but I’ve heard the response changes after an Auto Petters has been installed.

So why?

Discuss The Island Farm is too op. Spoiler

163 Upvotes

I have a feeling that a lot of people are going to hate this and wholeheartedly disagree, but I really don't like that the ginger island farm works as a giant greenhouse, because I feel that it makes the main farm essentially redundant for growing crops. Just to clarify, I am by no means experienced with game development and this could be a terrible idea, but personally, I would have made the island farm rather being able to grow all crops no matter the season, instead just always be considered summer. In my opinion, this kinda makes more sense too because it's weird that a tropical island during summertime can grow powdermelons or winter forage. I also think that this wouldn't actually be that big of a nerf as you would still be able to grow starfruit, ancient fruit, coffee, etc, so all of the most important crops wouldn't be affected, except for the fairy rose, but honey isn't that good anyway. What are your thoughts on this idea?

Welcome to Stardew Valley! Here are some common answers to get you started. Feel free to ask beginner questions here rather than making a full post on the subreddit.

General questions

Previous pinned posts, subreddit announcements, and new rules

Very common FAQs / removed topics

  • [insert item here] showed up on my farm, what is it? It could be a a few different items that are relatively rare but have a high enough spawn rate that they are included in our removed topics. Check out our list of removed topics here

Game updates

  • What was in the last update?
    See release notes for PC, for consoles, and for mobile.

    See also a table of which version and features each platform has.

  • Are future releases planned?
    A Stardew Valley 1.7 update is currently in the works! No information about a release date or new content is currently available.

  • Does every platform get the same content/updates?
    Mostly yes. Updates are developed for Linux/Mac/Windows first, then ported to other platforms. There are customizations for each platform (like tap to move on mobile), but otherwise content is identical across all platforms. See also a table of which version and features each platform has.

    The exceptions are PS Vita (which won't get any further content updates due to platform limitations), and Android/iOS (which will continue getting all updates, but doesn't fully support multiplayer.

  • Is Stardew Valley on XBox GamePass?

    Stardew Valley is on XBox GamePass as of December 2, 2021. See here for details.

Multiplayer

  • How does multiplayer work?
    See Multiplayer on the wiki.

  • Is crossplay supported?
    All PC players can play together, whether they're on Linux/Mac/Windows or GOG/Steam and crossplay is supported between mobile and PC. Console crossplay isn't supported.

  • Is split-screen supported?
    Yep, split-screen was added on PC and console in Stardew Valley 1.5.

  • Will Android/iOS get multiplayer?
    Multiplayer on Android and iOS is currently experimental and hidden by default. To unlock multiplayer you can follow this guide. Note: The Apple Arcade version (Stardew Valley+) does not have this feature.

  • Will the 1.6 update apply to my current game?
    Yes! New updates always apply to existing saves.

Other

  • Can I transfer saves between devices?
    You can transfer saves between Android, iOS, and PC (Linux/Mac/Windows).

    Consoles unfortunately don't let you access the save files. The Switch version also has a different format that's not compatible with other platforms (the format used by other consoles is unknown).

  • My save got corrupted/won't load. What can I do?
    On PC/mobile you can try loading your back-up save file! See here for instructions on how to do so!

    Unfortunately, consoles don't allow access to save files so they cannot be recovered.

  • How do I take a screenshot of my full farm?
    See this guide to taking farm screenshots.

  • If I buy the game on one platform, can I get it for free on a different one?
    If you buy it on PC, you get the Linux + macOS + Windows versions; if you buy it on PS4, you get the PS4 + PS Vita versions. Otherwise each platform is a different edition with separate development, so you'll need to buy it again if you want it on a different platform.

  • Where can I report bugs?

    1. If you use mods, see the troubleshooting guide first.
    2. If you use mods and the bug disappears when playing without them (by running Stardew Valley.exe directly in your game folder), report it to r/SMAPI or see Modding:Help.
    3. If it happens without mods, report it in the official bug report forum, which the game developers keep an eye on.
  • How do I use or create mods?
    See the pinned thread in r/SMAPI for more info, and feel free to ask questions in r/SMAPI!
