The difference in playstyles was such a surprise to me when I set up a coop game for my wife and I.
I had been doing a modded playthrough with slightly extended days. I'd upkeep my crops, then clear a bit of land, forage until my energy was low, and then go run around town, chat with townies, use forage as gifts, etc.
My wife had been playing for a while when it was on gamepass, but I hadn't really watched how she played. She'd do everything on the farm, then refill her energy with food or the hot springs, and keep grinding on the farm or in the mines. Townies who?
