Stardew Valley

cross-posted from: https://lemm.ee/post/43035752

Just played a few days, and I doubt it will supplant stardew in my life, but it is certainly enjoyable.

Would love to hear other people's thoughts!

(Potentially) SOLVED: I disabled both Steam Overlay and controller Steam Input, and now it somehow works. Strangely, I believe they were both disabled to begin with and I tried enabling one at a time, then both, and nothing worked. I wanted to test individual settings again so I turned both off and suddenly it recognizes my controller (DualShock 4)

I haven't played 1.6 but I'm sure I played 1.5 with this setup a while back and the controller was working. Now my Mac recognizes the controller (and I can use in Steam's big picture mode) but the game doesn't.

What I've tried:

• Started the game through Big Picture mode using my controller, and tried without Big Picture mode
• Uninstalled SMAPI and any mods
• Restarted my Mac
• Enabled/Disabled Steam Input in controller settings

Anyone have any experience getting it to work?

NOTE: Just tried with DualSense/PS5 controller and having the same issue. The game doesn't seem to recognize the controller

I googled how to prevent spawning weeds, wood or stones from wrecking scarecrows. I read re paths. But weeds can wreck any floor or path.

I thought of surrounding a scarecrow with hardwood fence. I asked a large language model (llm) if that works. The llm said yes. True?

A scarecrow doesn't need so many resources but I don't wanna remake a scarecrow each time a weed, wood or a stone wrecks it.

Last year we did a giant blue chicken, anyone have any fun ideas for this year?

This 1.6 compatible mod adds wild animals. I have been playing with it for close to a month and today I saw a large creature on the bridge to the quarry. "What is that?!?" was my only reaction as I watched it walk around.

Highly recommend it.

It came out of 3.0 beta.

Stardew Valley Hits New All-Time Player Peak On Steam After 1.6 Update

Just got the game on PS5 this week.

1.6 ended up being a little larger in scope than originally planned. I'm done adding major new content to it now, though, and it's in a bug-fixing and polishing phase until it's ready for release. Thx for your patience. It'll be fun to see everyone play it!

He also replied to a user saying it will absolutely be releasing this year!

"The Bustling Valley is a curated modlist designed for a bigger Stardew Valley experience. It includes new villages, new NPCs, and of course a farming expansion."

This is a huge modlist, installed near hands free using wabbajack. If you are fidgeting while waiting for the new update, this will give you a whole new world to play in the meantime.

It is an enormous extension of nearly every element. Enjoy!

I know the tweet is already a day old, but I thought I share it anyway since no one else posted it. Super excited for the new update. Concerned Ape is really spoiling us.

I'm on year two and winter is approaching (fall 25). I didn't really like last winter because it felt very long. What do you do during those times? Do you skip some days by going to bed right after waking up? Do you fish and mine like hell?

The giveaway has ended and the winner is: [email protected]. Congratulations! Have fun with the game!

Thank you all for all the funny jokes!

Hello fellow SV fans. Every year I give away 1 Steam key for Stardew Valley to a random person. Past years it was someone from the Steam SV forum or someone from the comments section on a random YouTube video about SV. This year, since i migrated from reddit to Lemmy, I decided to do the giveaway here on this community.

To enter the giveaway just leave a farming-related joke as a top-level-comment under this post. Your Lemmy account must be at least one week old at the time of the drawing (18.11.23).

Please don't post offensive, racist, trans- or homophobic jokes.

The key can be redeemed globally on Steam (PC).

Doesn't matter if you already own the game, maybe you know someone you could gift it to. Or maybe you own it on console but want to play on PC also.

The winning comment will be chosen randomly on Saturday, 18. November, 18:00 UTC.

Good Luck!

Hopefully Haunted Chocolatier content is also welcome here!

Why do you betray Pierre? Why do you hate supporting local economies? How do you sleep at night?

ConcernedApe is writing a Stardew cookbook! Release date says April 16 2024. I wonder if all the recipes will be vegetarian like in the game?
