I think he meant why people minmax and try unlock ginger island year 1

Does Anubia have any extra content after joining her fanclub besides the event where you kill yourself with her machine? She has that one dialogue option where you can keep telling her hi and then ask her out, and she gives her tasks, but she doesn't seem to do anything besides that. I thought if I raised her hearts/club rank she'd have some extra dialogue but I guess not?

Summer begins
Quite silly that even with the economy mod that alters sell price for everything, starfruit is still pretty consistently one of the top earning crops. Guess it's natural since it's got a 400g price tag attached to every sneed
Other high earners this season are
>blue agave
>aloe
So basically sandy is responsible for this season of growth
Watermelon and melons are good but not great, as their prices are already in the middle and decreasing every day. The highest value crops go into kegs, juicers, and preserve jars, of which I have 115, 30, and 30, respectively. Going to use that cabin on the left to set up eveything flower and honey related
>flower drying, essential oils, beeswax and candles, as well as mead. I get 30 honey every few days, so ive been stockpiling as I've just kept forgetting to keg them for mead. Mead is intresting because it's not the same value applied as other artisian goods from crops. Those just get multiplied directly. Mead has its own separate value in the economy, probably because in vanilla there is only one type of mead even if the honey is different. So, there are cases where you convert a high value honey, like rose honey for over 1200g per jar, into a bottle of mead thats 300g. This means it's only worth meading if the base honey is cheap, due to the flower being cheap that season. Similarly, you can convert the cheapest honey to beeswax and combine that with an expensive flower to get a candle that is worth multiple thousnds. If you were to optimize this, it could rival winemaking as it's much faster to go through the process for the candles than for wine, and thus, could be more better... theoretically

But all of that is like 3 different mods working together, which is why it's a bit "off" like with mead behaving strangely
Another mod I really have been loving is weather wonders. It adds more types of weather to the game, some of which give negatives you have to work around. The very next day after I planted my summer crops, I was hit with a heatwave that dried up all the sprinkler water. Thus, I had to water 752 crops by hand.
I unironically think this is fun, btw. It's a good weather event

>>555835975
Not a whole lot.
It's incomplete just like the other stuff.
There's a lvl 2 fanclub event (check level in her room when she's not there), an easter egg event which requires being in the club. obtain the night market pearl The rest is discounts. The bug with breaking your club card has been fixed, which was unrelated to that event itself, but it was only noticeable when you got the club card.

how do we improve ginger island? i feel like walnut hunting is awful for the island unlocks and qi room. i'm thinking you "rebuild" the island with materials from the homeland and maybe cleaning up the farm would require iridium tools like the axe or hoe. i think the joja parrot should have separate purchases for each unlock rather than the steep all or nothing price tag.

Sometimes I wonder about how Ape is gonna handle the gender pronouns issue for Chocolatier, he's stuck in a damned if you do, damned if you don't situation where he's gonna piss someone off whether he adds mental illnesses or not

>>555920991
>he's stuck in a damned if you do, damned if you don't situation where he's gonna piss someone off whether he adds mental illnesses or not
Thats why the best course of action is to just ignore any and all comments regarding pronouns and do whatever. They are not worth spending time and energy on, they're like energy vampires.

>>555920991
If he hasn't added them into SDV after all these years of the troons kvetching over it, I sincerely feel like he wouldn't in hauntochoco. He still actively visits these threads and this site.

>he's stuck in a damned if you do, damned if you don't
First, he didn't do it in this game despite all the last 5 years of woke propaganda and bullying and people still love SDV. Now things changed, Twitter no longer ban those who oppose it, and videogames creators know the whole woke pronoun shit will only make people hate the game more. What will Ape do? The same he did with SDV, Male and Female. And if you want something else, use a mod. I'm sure Chocolatier will be highly moddable in 2030, same as SDV is right now.

>>555924747

Well, for Stardew he's had a feasible enough excuse to keep all but the most severely deranged people off his back, that Stardew is built on ancient spaghetti code where the player's gender is built into like a hundred hard-coded checks that would basically necessitate a rewrite of everything to change
Choco won't have that excuse so they WILL get on his case if he doesn't add it, someone else will get on his case if he does add it, and there WILL be vultures circling around looking to blow up either situation into a culture war scandal

This game will be played in the whole world, no for just the american troon people. All this is because what Nintendo did recently, no? Nintendo of America ( No the Japan side ) is being controlled by troons and faggots, hence why some games are having this stupid changes and is possible the Japan side doesn't know it happen until very late. I also believe somehow this people get their dirty hands in the latest pokemon games, hence why got more censored and woke.

How to avoid our nemesis, if one player is in the mine all non-host will freeze up once anyone uses auto tool select too much. 1x offering them something unfreezes them but if it happens again you have to quit and log in again losing 1/4 day.

It runs perfect otherwise though. Like 60 hours played, 0 issues beyond that. And it's a bug since mobile was a thing that is making mining puer suffering for non hosts.

>Speaking of ideas, are there any updates on 1.7?

>Barone: Yeah. I'm trying to not reveal too much because I like for it to be a surprise. What I will say without maybe being too specific is that with this update, one of the things we're trying to do is... Well, there is a popular fan request, which has to do with the children, trying to make the children a little more interesting. So I'm trying to do something with that, but there's a lot of other things in the update as well that no one's really asked for, but I think people will appreciate it.

>adding two more marriage candidates
One of them better be Sandy.

One idea that we were toying with for 1.7, I don't know if this will happen or not, but was adding a farm map editor for the public. So you could basically make your own. Because with every update, it's traditional to add a new farm type. When the game first came out, there was just standard farm, that was it. And then 1.1, I added four different farms or something. And then with every update, there's been one added. What if we opened this up to the community and it was like now you could press an extra button, go into a browser and look at everyone's farm creation? That now adds almost infinite replayability to Stardew Valley. So I'm interested in ways to make the game more just infinitely replayable without the use of AI. That's never going to happen.

realistically it's gonna be sandy and clint(lol). ape has said he has some ideas on how to wrap up the clint storyline so this might be that

alternatively it would be breaking up robyn and demetrius which he also said he would love to do it if it was realistically feasible but I really dont see it. the logistics would be a nightmare

I don't give a fuck. As we all know, and I'm sure Ape is here reading this, he's free to do whatever he want. if he want more white woman, it shall be. Plenty of mods to change that already if someone don't like it. This people, that people, no one own the character but Ape himself only. He shouldn't let this loud minority to control him to do what they want same as how happened with Hero Academia and many other japanese artists.

>2 new marriage candidates
Robin and Caroline

The 2 new marriage candidates will be Muds Vincent and Dwarf

>>556152696
anon... ignoring the fact that they are both married, he wouldnt add a female option and no male one

Wasn't Sandy the runner-up in the poll that led to Emily and Shane becoming marriageable? It's likely going to be her. I don't remember who the second place guy was, but whoever it was is probably the other.

>>556157364
>the poll that led to Emily and Shane becoming marriageable?
it's mind boggling how people actually thought that poll was ever serious. he already had his mind made up that it was gonna be shane and emily, the others were very much joke options.

Maybe it's Marnie. Though that would make some of those secrets and Lewis events cucky. Unless they get disabled if you romance her, like that Clint date event.

>>556157364
shane 1st, wizard 2nd, linus 3rd, clint 4th

zero chance he will make the wizard dateable. like the other anon said, he was not serious. fucking Pam was an option

what I wanted: gus and marnie
what we will get: sandy and clint

come on he's not making any old geezers date young people. sandy and clint are the only ones with an age gap that's less of a stretch

>>556150371
>think to myself how the fuck am I going to have to choose between top left and 2nd from the bottom right and 2nd from the bottom left
>remember there will be a free love mod and I don't have to
Life is good bros

The milfs sure are undesirable considering the men they've been dicked by, except for Jodi but she's off limits because Kent deserves her.

Robin has been defiled by Demetrius
Caroline has been defiled by Pierre (even if Abigail isn't his daughter he still probably fucked Caroline a few times especially for her to trick Pierre into thinking Abigail is his daughter)
Marnie has been defiled by Lewis' old man dick

I believe it's going to be new characters. The mod community know and made too many mods related to the vanilla characters. Ape won't mess with that. Then again the chances it be Sandy and Clint are high too. Both are two of the characters with less mods ( Vincent is first place ) , specially related to marriage.

>>556152031
>if he want more white woman, it shall be.
And if he decides to fill the rest of the cast with the blackest of blacks? That's fine too?

Its been a year since Ridgeside Village had an update, are they finally done with the mod so that someone can try to make a complete overhaul to remove the woke shit and to whitewash all the brown people?

>Barone: I actually don't really play with mods, to be honest. I try not to look at mods too much because I actually don't want to be influenced by mods.

>Yeah. That makes sense.

>Barone: I know people think that I take ideas from mods, but it's probably just that there are natural ideas that make sense that would be added to the game. I end up adding those things, just because it naturally makes sense. Or maybe someone suggested it to me and it came from a mod, but I wasn't even aware that it came from a mod. I just thought, "Hey, that's a good idea."

Since nobody linked the full interview:

Yes, again, it's Ape's game, Ape's characters. He can do whatever he want. We won't be like the troons and faggots in twitter, demanding to the artists like if the characters belong to them.

Yes, but he respect the modding community ( We exist ) , he know Pathos and the dude who made SVE. Even if he don't play with mods, he know exist popular mods what do everything, even make non dateable npc, marriageable candidates. I'll give a read to this, but I believe he know what he's doing. He won't go woke, he won't touch the married npc and he'll surprise us with something new and fresh.

>>556132182
>I'm going to be adding two more marriage candidates, but I'll reveal who it is on the anniversary day.
Jas marriage is now going to be canon

>>556171565
my main point was that he's not gonna sidestep things he wants in the game because "mods already did it", to put it in the actual game makes it canonical and he can do it exactly the way he wants

about new characters he even says on the interview
>I could go deeper on all the characters. That's one of the things ... It's like why I'm not really too into adding new characters to the world because I feel like all the existing characters could use so much more depth and I could keep going deeper and deeper adding the third year of dialogue to everyone and adding more character cutscenes and all these things that open up as you keep playing the game.

>No TV show
Based Ape, with how women and troons are like a plague in holywood, I wouldn't be surporised if they make Haley or Emily lesbian, or Sebastian a trans. Disgusting freaks.

>>556169631
I sincerely hope Ape doesn't have an attitude of not "stepping on modder's toes" when it comes to making his game. It's his game and if he wants to put something in he absolutely should never take modfags into account. His vision is chief and his decision are canon. Imagine if an author takes a look at fanfiction and decided to write his sequels based off of that. Fuck modders. The vast, vast majority are abject trash. Turn the theater girl into an npc. Make sandy romanceable. Fill in the town with new houses and new npcs in spots where retarded modders have already put their donut steel OCs
Fuck them

Barone: Yeah, I mostly try to just do what I think is cool because I think that that will keep Stardew Valley, Stardew Valley. I don't want it to be developed by the public necessarily. It's like I do consider what people request and if it lines up with things that I agree with, then I might lean in that direction a little bit because I do want to make the players happy. But I think sometimes what will make the players happy is for Stardew Valley to still be my creative ideas ultimately, whether they realize it or not.

I was thinking now we really need a toggle for this next mod from Muds, because most of us here use the Jas Mod and no sure how imcompatible it might be.

so i planted strawberries, its spring 25 now. no speed gro. i don't have to water them any more, correct?

>>556258042
Yep, they're done.

>>556245912
It's usually pretty easy to just disable content specific to a character in the jsons, Content Patcher's easy enough to read in most cases. Ideally someone would whip up a proper compatibility patch but that's probably really tricky to do for Jas Mod.

>>556259040

>aged wine requires a cellar and 2 weeks of time

Void fish and the ancient fruit are the easy ones. Unless you happen to get real bad rng and don't have an ancient sneed. But with only 4/5 required, it's not that difficult to get the theater either, just takes a bit of foresight, especially if you don't have the egg or sneed

Complete but could use more decor too. Perhaps a sitting area in between the trellises. Might have room for a few giant crops?? Dunno. I'm not going to use giant crops as decoration this time around because I don't have room on my farm anywhere unless I sacrifice planting space and the glades are all full
Am just now considering the implications of a fourth junimo glade specifically for growing giant crops, of which there are many in this mod... I really don't know... could be a nice side project. I think I also have mods installed that let you tap them for juice or wine, so there could actually be some minor use

Vegtable and misc glade
Misc being shrooms, spices, herbs, cocoa beans from a chocolatiering mod which I have yet to even touch. There's too much stuff to do and not anywhere near enough time to do it. I really dislike the idea of modding time to be slower, but I think it would be an intresting idea to have the golden clock give that effect. Since it's basically endgame and proof that you've "won" stardew to have the golden clock, it would make sense being what it is that it gives you the ability to control time. So as it for not to be too cheaty, Id say it should basically just double the legnth of the day. I feel like this could fuck with the schedules of the machinery and stuff, but maybe it's not too bad

Fall is not yet over but it was fairly productive. Summer, actually, was way more productive in terms of money because I had more crops that were high base value at the bottom of supply level. All I had to really work with this time was amaranth, yams, and diakon. My ancient crop greenhouse was going insane though. Ancient flower mass growth into candles and dried flowers was netting me something like 35k per day

Here was a years old playthrough from well before 1.6
Had one of every type of giant crop from that mod. It made the farm look really busy and full, but it takes up a huge amount of space
I think it always looks good, thoughever

>>556296067
There're more mods what add giant crops now. I remember one what make giant crops from the Cornucopia mods flowers and crops. Sure there're more.

>>556296650
Well the current cornucopia has innate giant crops becuase one of the modders who originally made giant crops for the original ppja version of cornucopia just decided to incorporate them directly. But I believe there are also other mods that add sprites for the ones that don't have it
There's alot of giant crops

>>556296650
Actually I just checked
Cornucopia itself only has about 5 crops that have giant versions built in
The rest have to be added on via other mods
Most of the other mods, however, come from "luminestria" who is the same modder that did the abomination that is mount vapis. It is as likely a real woman as it is a troon, so I will not be touching any of those silly mods

>luminestria
True, but she also made some tile mods necesary for some of the mods I use. Like East Scarp for example. As long as I don't add any disgusting troon creature, I'm fine with objects and crops.

>>556259040
>but that's probably really tricky to do for Jas Mod.
Not really tricky, but definitely a significant amount of work since the jas mod has like 20+ portraits and it uses most of them frequently. It's really nice for the mod, but really bad for portrait mod compatibility if someone wants to use something else. I'm lucky jas mod's portraits are my favorite one, but even then it's unfortunate for overall consistency with other characters if you're going with a significantly different style for the rest of the villagers. Frankenmeshing portraits is a problem anyone with a fair amount of mods will inevitably face unfortunately.

>>556288184
i didn't say it was impossible, just trouble some. 20 trips(more if you plan on building cheese presses or smokers) to the woods with a copper or higher axe is a lot to ask for energy and time wise from summer to winter. with the forest farm you have more than double the spawns and they are close by.

The multiple hour long trips to the Secret Woods not only for hardwood but also for the big foraging exp suck so incredibly hard on non-forest farm playthroughs that I'll forever be grateful for the minecart in Ashley's mansion. It's one of those occasions where the sheer convenience overpowers any and all shame of muh cheating.

>>556320674
You also had the wizard tower teleport totems from MMM that used to be fucking free and infinite, just by talking to the kind bunny.
At least now you have to gain wizards trust and then craft your totems.

>>556321346
>infinite
This was fixed. Prob you can only get it once per day. But I couldn't get more than one the other day.

>>556321861
Are you playing on some mildly old version? The one I was playing, that I assume was the latest, gave you a blueprint and I had to craft my own totems with my own materials.

The infinite totems was ages ago and I called Morganon out on it back then.

>>556322124
I need to check if I have that blueprint. I'm sure I'm playing with the last version. I only could get one totem from the bunny doll.

i fucked up. didn't get farming 6 by summer. now what do i do

>>556331714
expanding on this:

i did remixed bundles. the spring crops bundle required a carrot; i didn't plant and harvest a carrot till after the egg hunt. this means i only got 2 harvests on my 16 strawberry plants. you can get 3 if you use the speedgro from the bundle.

those 16 strawberries would have been enough to get me to farming 6 on the last harvest, along with my 32 cauliflower i have growing. i looked at the save file and checked.

the fastest i could get it is by harvesting 47 wheat. which if my math is right, would mean i'm still out one melon harvest. but as i've now cheated by looking at the save file, i can't continue. it was on the standard farm, which i wasn't entirely happy with. its so boring

>>556332794
>only 16 strawbs
Nigga wtf are you doing
I'm not a minmaxxer and dont think you should be doing a hundred of them or anything, but it's not really an issue to get around 30-40. I usually shoot for 48

After having finished watching one bideo on sunkissed valley mod for minecraft, which turns the game into stardew, I have decided it's probably not for me
The good
>you can apparently build your own village from the ground up as the rewards you get for progressions directly give you villager spawns. This means you can go build wherever you want and create your own complex with all your testificate slaves
The bad
>the game gives you a "blueprints" for buildings because it wants you to place those instead of building yourself. The "starter farmhouse" is something like 50x40x40 blocks. Absolutely fuckhuge for no reason and gaudy as fuck. Looks so out of place next to anything in the world. Obviously you can just not use them. But that's not intended gameplay
>villager noises are so goddamned annoying man holy shit why are they still like this after literal centuries of their nasally squidward ass HHHHHNNNNMMMMMMHHHH. fuck you.
>the actual crop growing is shit. The guy planted like 8 different types of spring crops and all of them are just regrowable crops. Not a single one you have to replant despite core minecraft being like that. This is absolutely braindead game design. You may as well not even play the game if the farming is going to be so fucking garbage. How do you take everything from stardew valley and refuse to take the core mechanic?
>there are ALOT of menus. Felt like half the video was the guy just fucking around in a menu. Your quests are in menus, the rewards are in menus, the tutorials are in menus, the skill trees are in menus. I understand you have some limits with how you can present progression to the player because it's in a different game but holy shit could you not have been atleast somewhat creative
All in all the longer I watched the video the less I wanted to play the mod
Perhaps stardew and minecraft should remain separate

>>556333561
To expand on my thoughts on the farming
>in stardew valley there are 3 types of crops
>single growth, regrowables, trellises
>single growth crops have to be replanted. Thus, it's a one time investment for large pay off. You can also use that spot to plant something else in its place afterwards. This means you can time your fields and rotate your crops so you make the most out of each season, or time their growths so they end up harvesting on the same days, thus making you more efficient.
>regrowables take longer to grow and give less initially, but can end up giving you more payoff in the long run, especially if it's a two season crop like corn, which will give you passive income every week for little effort. Yes, you could have probably made more by replanting a higher value single growth crop in its place, but that requires going to and buying the sneeds, planting them, applying fertilizer, etc. Thus, regrowables are less effort for virtually equal reward, as the time you are spending not replanting the seeds every harvest is used for other progression. Plus, with them giving more crops on average, it's entirely reasonable to stockpile and wait for a lucky day to propagate your own sneeds from them, virtually eliminating the cost of those seeds entirely beyond the first few you bought. You can spend money on a single sneed of each and have four dozen of each crop by the end of your playthrough in your greenhouse
>speaking of the greenhouse, regrowables are also extremely powerful when it comes to passive income because you can set up these crops in your greenhouses and have money coming in all year round since they will never die or need to be maintained
>trellises have all the benefits of regrowables, but with the drawback of not being able to walk through them. This adds depth to your layout design, especially on smaller more compact farms, because you need to think about how you're going to place them instead of just willy nilly clumping them

>an iridium sprinkler will not afford you 24 trellis crops. It will afford you 20. And even with that you would gave to walk around and go at them from both sides to reach every spot. Thus, it would behoove you to double the sprinklers and, to gave two 24 size plots side by side, and make a line down the edges of the plot. You could then fill in the middle with walkable regrowables
>this makes you have to think about your design
>furthermore, there are bushes. A tea bush, to be specific, which acts like a trellis, yet doesn't need to be watered. This gives even more depth to your farm as you can use them for various other purposes, like fencing in animals, or lining the edges of your feilds
>mods take all of this a step further and add more crops, more trellises, more bushes, etc. Thus, they make your planting, your layout, your design have a ton of depth. You have to put thought into your planning.
>on top of all that there are trees, which have unique game mechanics, too, but theyre almost always completely ass in terms of profit anyways, whatever.
>basically, there are four different types of crops and all of them add depth to the game mechanics. It's all intentionally designed. It's good. It's basic, but it's good.
>the minecraft mod essentially removes all of that. Every single crop is a regrowable that you can walk on. Atleast from what I've seen. Despite them having the mechanics within minecraft itself to make them the same as in stardew. Could have easily had trellises by making two block high crops. You could have remade the crops exactly. Instead they're all reduced to one type. There is no thought, then, for anything. Just take the most profitable crop and put it down and never think about it again. Why bother designing a farm layout when every crop is the same? There is no extrinsic value because there is no reason to plant anything but the most profitable, and there is no intrinsic value because there is no difference crop to crop
