the only time I find it valuable is Y1 spring because you get your money immediately instead of the next day, and sometimes that matters for me to turn around and buy yet more stuff

villagers sometimes comment on buying stuff from Pierre that you sold to him so it adds a little more flavor to the world, also.


Beyond those two? No point whatsoever, no.

That begs to question, where does the produce I sell go? Does the major sell it to joja? Out of town somewhere? :iiam:

You know, if Concernedape continues updating Stardew valley I hope we get to visit Zuzu City someday. It'd be neat if we eventually got the option to take the bus there or go to Grampleton or Castle Village or take a boat to the Fern islands.

I want to set Abigail up as the Wizard's apprentice. I don't even care if all the hints that she's his illegitimate child are real or not. Abigail is unsatisfied with her boring rear end normal life and wants to do some crazy mystical poo poo, and the Wizard keeps complaining to me every time I go over to shove void essence in his face that he needs an apprentice, let's loving go you two.

Kent: I spent the next three years in a POW camp, forced to subsist on a thin slices of fish. I came close to madness trying to find it here in the valley, but they just can't cut it properly!

I generally only sell gold-start produce to Pierre. Otherwise the townfolk will say my eggplant was all droopy and smelled bad.

I've always felt that the best thing Failbetter Games could do (Besides this one other thing that I will not say here) is to make a Stardew-esque game based on Sunless Seas, where your ancestor/Granddad was the one who colonised Aestival.

I mean, you're the only source of surface food that doesn't come in cans, you're in the Neath so wacky zaniness is expected, the Victorian sovereignty requirements mean that you're the only one who is allowed to take up the position, it all makes sense!

But this only happens if I have a child. This child comes of age before the funeral and you pick their appearance before the ceremony. They are the ones to choose the carry-over item.

The other villagers react according to their relationship with you. Your relationship with them is halved when you posses your child.

Ceremony and bildungsroman only happen if your child is at toddler stage.

Only weird thing is that kinda makes the villagers super immortal and they live through multiple generations of your family. And presumably you wouldn't want to remarry the same villager.

But I'm just realizing either Stardew human gestation is only two weeks or your wife only ever brings up kids 8.5 months into her pregnancy. So maybe everyone's life span is significantly reduced accordingly.

i maen if you want "stardew but weird" there's Gleaner Heights, not that anyone is interested in that game because of its little failures. It's not that the game is bad, it's just not as interesting and charming as Stardew on a day to day basis and it doesn't have co-op so you can't compensate for that lack of charm with another person around.

e. ^^^ My Time at Potria did a pretty good job at being Stardew but weird imo: you're more an engineer than a farmer but it has the same vibe and general gameplay loop, and the post-apocalyptic setting is neat. It's also really satisfying to actually see the projects you take go up around the map and improve life not only for you, but also the townsfolk.

My Y2 goal in pretty much every game once I've got my legs under me is to amass enough seed stock that I never have to buy another thing from Pierre for the rest of the game. Have fun stocking seeds to sell to nobody dickhead!

I have an entirely self sufficient ancient fruit farm and it's great. I haven't seen Pierre in years.

I still buy star fruit seeds from Sandy to grow in the greenhouse, though. I feel like she needs the business, living in the desert sucks.
