    is there a partner that actually helps out around the farm everyday? Because as sweet as he is Sebastian doesn't do shit.

    Also....His hearts are all full but he's been really rude to me the past two days. Don't know why?

    NPCs get really pissed off if you have something that blocks their pathing. so check inside your house makes sure nothings blocking his pathing.

    Just completed first day of summer, planted 12 peppers, 12 tomato, 12 hops, 12 corn, 12 blueberry, 12 radishes, and 4 sunflowers with sprinklers keeping them all watered.

    Also planted a 6x6 area of melons that I have to manually water, hoping to get one or two giant crops (never got those before)

    Cost about 10 grand in total, and used up almost all of my copper and iron making the 19 sprinklers.

    Shit man, every time i see people optimising like crazy, i feel a little bad. My newest run I'll count myself lucky if I have enough dough left over to upgrade 1 tool in spring, or maaaaybe even buy the decent backpack. There's just too much faffing about to do, and never enough stamina for a hard days work the first season

    I need this game on the Switch like yesterday.

    I picked it up on the cheap in the Steam sale, but what I really want is Switch+Mobile Stardew. Not even having a release date yet is painful.

    Omg thanks! That makes sense. I have a table in the living room right before the little kitchen area and he always has to go around it. No wonder he was so grumpy and telling me I need to clean the house x.X

    That's a great idea. I'm in the middle of winter of my 2nd year so I'll start working on a couple more sprinklers. I just got better gear and more recipes so I can tackle the skeleton caves. Just finished the community center too! I was gonna start saving up to upgrade my house again next. I have all the upgraded animal barns and stuff now so that's been really helpful. Finally mastered fishing too!

    Stardew coming out is a great thing for Switch owners. Also the multiplayer getting released on PC first is truly an awesome thing.

    Stardew was one my favorite games last year and when I finished the community center It was a rewarding experience. Joja mart can kiss my a**e.

    Any news on how many players can multiplayer on one farm?

    There is no news at all about multiplayer, other than "yeah, sometime it's coming"

    I finished off my second big push with this game a little while ago. Got the 10,000,000g trophy and some other end game ones, got a real crazy truffle farm and ancient wine factory going, caught all the fish etc. Pretty happy with how my farm ended up. If I put in another year I would finish changing over to iridium sprinklers and get some junimo huts but eh. 119 hours seems like a pretty good place to tap out for the moment.

    I've finally gotten to give this a shot thanks to @Zetx. Is there some sort of strafe button or option? It's way too complicated to just put down a line of fence, or water things in a line. Am I missing something? And is there a run button I'm missing? You move very slowly.

    I feel like I must be doing something wrong, because the game keeps telling me to buy items or upgrades that cost 2000-10000 and I've made around 1500 total all Spring.

    I use mouse+gamepad for placing lots of things in a line/planting massive fields. You can hold down the action button on the mouse while moving with the joystick

    Don't feel too stressed about that

    Money comes and while there are definitely ways to make Spring 1 more productive that's more for a subsequent playthrough imo

    1. If you haven't already, turn on the option that highlights the square you're targeting, that helps a lot with placement.
    2. Hold down left shift to run? You may already be doing that, running isn't very fast. Later on you may find some things to help mitigate this, but travel time is intended to be a bit of a drain on your time.
    3. 1500 is a little low for 1st Spring. I wouldn't worry about giving people gifts yet, if you're spending money on that. Early game you should be re-investing your profits into more crops and eventually better tools.

    One thing to keep in mind is that your first X dollars will always be the hardest X dollars to get. As long as you keep spending your money to reinvest in your farm, making money gets easier. Upgrading tools is important, and eventually you'll want to start looking into sprinklers (skip the basic ones). Remember that any crop that doesn't specifically say it lasts multiple seasons will die at the end of the season, whether it's produced yet or not. If you're good at fishing, it's a decent way to make money once you've watered all your crops and made a foraging run. I'll include a few slightly spoilery tips below, but keep in mind that there's no way to lose the game, so go at whatever pace feels best to you.
    Invest in a couple dozen blueberry seeds in summer, they have a really high return on investment. Also plant a few Hops plants and keep the fruits until you can put them in Kegs. Ducks and Goats make less money than Chickens and Cows, respectively, so I wouldn't invest too heavily in either. Pigs can make you some serious cash, but they're endgame. In the Community Center, prioritize the Boiler Room and Pantry upgrades, because the rewards there are the best.

    I'm just using my PS4 controller. I guess I can try moving a hand to the mouse next time I put down a fence.

    All I've been doing, really, is clearing everything off the farm that I can, trees and rocks, and fencing everything in. Since it said that would stop things from randomly growing or otherwise reappearing in there. I've got one area sectioned off with two spots of land that I'm planting stuff in. But it seems like I buy a few seeds and then I'm broke again. Every quest I've got or anything interesting I want to do requires me to spend huge amounts of money I don't have.

    I'm not sure how you give gifts to someone. One random flower I picked up said it could be a gift, but I don't see any options when I talk to people.

    Which also means be careful trying use certain items out of your inventory if there's a person around.

    They submitted a final version to Nintendo for testing. Now that Nintendo has approved, we're closer to release.

    Soooo I went back to this and....all my automation mods are broken? And I cant seem to get them working again. I had it set up where as long as a chest was connected to processers they would do the thing, for instance my shed was just 1 chest and a full grid of kegs, and a small section on the other side with a chest and jam makers. Same outside my barns with chests and a bunch of mayo machines/cheese machines. I really can't go back to the old way. And the newer mods I found don't work as well, I could use a chest nearly surrounded by machines, but another layer out wouldn't work. Am I missing something?

    Or maybe "Joja Mart Tries to Kill Small Town", the game.
