    Does anyone know the logic behind objects spawning overnight? I've lost 4 or 5 crop this summer due to being crushed beneath a newly spawned log.

    The only one I'm aware of is that stone walls will randomly have rocks fall off of them onto adjacent tiles, which will absolutely crush plants.

    Just like real life. We had a stone garden feature that collapsed in a storm and crushed 3 entire rose bushes.

    We are death to plants in real life though, which is why I need video games to satisfy my need to grow things.

    Something neat I discovered: You can get a recycling station to turn junk you catch from fishing into useful resources. Now I actually have to keep all those broken CDs I catch.

    I haven't had any logs show up, but I've chopped down all the trees anywhere near my plots.

    I'm bad at this. I can't find the last two people to talk to. I'm sure I just haven't explored some house somewhere.
    I probably know which two you haven't.
    One of them is probably sebastion. He almost never leaves his room. Go to the carpenter's place between 3 and 4. That's his feeding hours.

    The other might just be Pierre. I know I missed him, because I forgot to go around the counter and talk to him.

    The cooking menu now looks for items in your refrigerator as well as your inventory.
    Scarecrow range reduce to 8 tiles radius.

    Auto-run is now the default setting for new characters.

    Bug Fixes
    Diagonal movement speed now proper.
    Fixed duplicate item issue in the mines.

    Pro advice: Crops are locked to seasons for the most part. I massively overlooked this at the end of spring going into summer.

    Who spent most of their fortune planting expensive Spring crops 2 days before Summer?

    when you get a repeat artifact what are you supposed to do with it
    can you donate the same artifact to the museum repeatedly? or are you just supposed to sell it for a paltry sum

    o, also, does anyone know if you can trample crops when you walk over them and thus have to add walking room to your farming formations, or can you just densely pack non-trellis crops around a scarecrow

    I think someone mentioned the dev explicitly did not put in a marry or die timer like in the harvest moon games, but other than that, I'm not far enough to tell.

    I've just been selling duplicate artifacts, but there may be another use for them.

    You can't trample your crops as far as I know.

    I have never damaged crops by trampling on them. You also can't accidentally cut down crops with a scythe. I'm pretty sure they put that in so you could put wheat/kale next to other vegetables and be able to harvest them safely.

    You can however uproot a crop with a hoe or axe (maybe a pickaxe too, I haven't tried it) so make sure you don't have one of those equipped when you're messing around in your plots.

    Also, once you get a weapon, you can use that to cut down bushes instead of your scythe. It doesn't cost energy.

    Anyone having trouble with the in-game screen real estate (everything way too zoomed in compared to the screenshots) should give this solution a try. Even though I was able to use DSR through my video card that still only got about halfway to the actual look of the game. Using that tool to set it to 1440p was like night and day.

    Like, here's how it looked at my native resolution of 1600x900

    How is the combat in this game? Is there more than just swing sword / shoot bow type stuff?

    Just started messing with this yesterday. When does your favorite item come up? I was having trouble deciding on whether I should capitalize the word at character creation or have it plural. I just don't want it popping up in character dialogue and looking out of place. A randomly capitalized word or a plural word when it's only addressed as singular would drive me crazy.

    I know, it's dumb. Anyone know how that is treated?

    Pretty much just swing sword. Combat is a small part of the game and mostly just there to make mining a little hazardous. Though you did get some sort of rewards from the adventurer's guild for killing x number of things in different categories. Also you can get accessories, some of which are combat only, but I found a magnet ring that increases item pickup radius, which applies outside of combat.
    However, unlike other tools, weapons have a secondary action. Left click is swing. With a sword, you can right click to block, and with a club, it does a large vertical swing with increased knockback. That's all I know so far.

    it's really simple, you just mash attack pretty much with swords

    you do get a slingshot, but it's sort of hard to aim

    generally though it's not that challenging or deep

    The one usage of it that I've seen is essentially in the form of "This reminds you of (your favorite thing)".

    That's going to be hilarious when all sorts of things remind me of "food".

    Also, I got a cat from Marnie and it is such a goddamn cat.
    I was tilling out some new plots first day of summer and the damn cat just wandered up and flopped spreadeagled across 3 tiles and wouldn't move and I was like "Stupid cat! Quit helping! A dog would not do this to me!"
    Game is true to life.

    FYI if you wanna make the big bucks during fall, plant cranberries. Huge return on investment but they're like 260g per plant, so keep that in mind if you wanna buy them day 1 after summer.

    Word of warning: I was playing on my couchputer, and moved over to my desktop. The switch, for whatever reason, lost several hours worth of progress between accounts, and I couldn't find a way to roll back to the version with more progress.

    It's top down Terraria combat, hitting those flying buzzers is a nightmare.

    Also, is there a way to get the chickens follow you? I've had them escape their fencing a couple of times and I see no way of putting them back.

    I mean for $14 it has a pretty good value proposition, especially since you can re-play it at least two times and have it be fairly different.

    you can. I've seen no repercussions for not fulfilling the quest board. You'll note that there are expiration limits on the quests so its either, you have it stored in a bin, or you go and do it *right now* sorta thing

    I was hopelessly addicted to Rune Factory 1-3.

    I haven't gotten far into the game yet, but from what I understand the combat is only a very tiny part of the game.
    Damn.

    Still though, probably going to end up buying it soon. Been feeling pretty shit lately and I could use a nice relaxing game about country and corn.
