When I first saw the game it looked like it might have been out in a couple months, at the time. Feels like forever.
Unfortunately it's not out yet, the ETA is currently 'Summer 2013' at the earliest with no guarantee, but '2013' is for certain.

drunken officeparty posted:The #1 thing I'm worried about (apart from multiplayer) is how fast you can mash through textboxes. I may just be a big ADD baby but I find it physically impossible to go back and play games like HM/Animal Crossing because of how you have to mash through slow text. If I wanted book readin' I woulda bought a book So if you want farm work why don't you buy a farm?

LibbyM posted:Does that 1000g rare seed that takes "all fall to grow" turn into something cool? You deliver it to a statue in an area north west of the wizard tower in exchange for a purple star fruit thingy (which boosts your max energy). You need either the steel or gold axe (can't remember which) to enter the area though because a hollow tree trunk is blocking the way. When you talk to the statue it says something about "still searching for the sweetest taste", just give it the fruit like a gift. Incidentally, this area has multiple tree stumps that can be farmed for hardwood, as well as foraging stuff sometimes. There's also a bunch of slimes there, so bring a weapon. Oh, and there's water there, but I'm not sure if you can fish something special out of it because I forgot to try. I'll have to give it a shot once I get off work.

This will probably get fixed at some point, but here's a bug you can exploit: If you have a kitchen, you can make anything you like even without the recipe so long as you have the ingredients on hand or in the fridge. Just click on the greyed out silhouette and your character will make the dish. Doing so won't reveal the recipe or anything though, and short of using a guide you probably won't know what most of the dishes are except for the ones that are easy to tell from the silhouette (like Ice Cream). If you're struggling with fishing you can use this to make the +3 fishing food (Dish O'The Sea), which needs Hashbrowns (potato and oil) and 2 Sardines.

ChogsEnhour posted:PLEASE tell me there's a better way to deal with the flies/bats in the caves. It;'s such a pain having to try and turn to face them instead of your character just swinging their weapon in whatever direction you click. The worst part of this is that sometimes my character DOES turn around and swing in the direction I click instead of the direction I'm facing, but usually only when I click in the opposite direction of the enemy, which tends to get me hurt.

Skaw posted:What it is, is if you click close to your character, your attack direction is based on which adjacent square you were clicking in. If the cursor is beyond a tile or two, your character will just keep swinging in whatever direction it's facing regardless of the cursors relative location. It should definitely be relative to cursor position all the time. This and the Slingshot aiming mechanic not being too mouse friendly are really my only gripes. Yeah, that's what I thought it was since it behaves that way with tools as well. Supremely annoying and I hope it gets patched at some point. Either that or at least an option where you can select whether to mouse aim or character facing aim.

Are you even doing any work?" I had this with Haley too once, but I attributed it to being the first day of Fall so everything except the corn was rotten, and sprinklers do all my watering anyway. The odd part was that this was after I had restarted the day due to some muckery, and the first time I played that day she just said the normal "I got up early to water some crops for you". I have no idea why she would react differently to the same day. Khorne posted:Wool and supposedly the Rabbit's Foot but I haven't received a foot yet. Not sure how to breed them either.

LibbyM posted:If I want to let my chickens out to eat grass, it actually needs to be in a careful fenced off area right? I kind of build my coop without taking that into consideration. Nah, I let mine out without any fences whatsoever, both barn and coop animals. The worst that can happen is that they get in your way when you try to work on your crops. I guess there might be a chance that they eat one of them or something, but if that's the case the odds are so low that it is more or less negligible. *Edit* If you have pigs I guess the downside is that if they find truffles it might end up being anywhere in the entire farm area, though to me it seems like they are usually in fairly close proximity to the barn.

Yeah, sometimes cows will go to the far end of my farm for grass (even though there is grass closer by near the back of the barn), never had any issues yet. It might take them longer to get back into the barn when evening comes though if you're present at your farm, whereas they'll just warp back if you're not (I assume).

Coolguye posted:Worth noting that hay yield from cutting grass also seems to have increased drastically. I built a silo on spring 14 after having never cut any grass, and filled the drat thing to the brim in a single day, before I'd managed to reap half of the grass that existed in my farm naturally. I haven't tried this is a while so it might have been fixed/changed, but when I was farming for Snow Yams a few patches ago I discovered that the plot you find a yam on will ALWAYS yield a yam. So if you just find a spot with a Snow Yam, cover it up with your pickaxe and then hoe it again, a new Snow Yam pops up. Repeat until you pass out from energy loss or 2AM rolling around. If it hasn't been fixed since then I guess clay might act the same way?

Someone Awful! posted:everyone gets fuckin rejected at the flower dance This might be a given seeing as it's been standard Harvest Moon stuff, but you DO get heart points for each day you talk to someone, not just giving them gifts twice a week. You can spot this if you pay attention to the order people appear in on the social tab. If you have two people with roughly similar affection, if you talk to the bottom one they'll often climb on the list, and occasionally it might be just the extra push you need to get an extra heart, even if you already gave them both two gifts earlier in the week. I wouldn't bother trying to talk to everyone every single day just for the minor boost in affection, that would be a waste of valuable time, but if you're trying to get along with a specific person talking to them every day will speed up the process a little. I'm not sure you can get anyone but Haley for the first flower dance even with that though, seeing as the boost from giving her a birthday present is more or less mandatory.

Ah, I forgot about Harvey loving coffee. But yeah, 600g a week in early spring is... As for Abigail, you'd probably have to save-scum to get the amethysts required, but it's doable. Biggest challenge of getting Leah is finding her without the zoom patch

Eschers Basement posted:::runs into thread, grabs a cow by the face, screams "my farmer, have you tried Pepper Poppers???":: The best part is that +speed food stacks with Coffee, which for some reason isn't considered a food buff. So you can have +2 speed all the time if you're willing to spend all your money on Coffee. It's not very good for planting work though because +2 speed is just a hair too fast and when you're planting seeds by running, you'll sometimes skip a square, unlike when you're only on +1. Also found out that you don't need the bouquet to date someone. I gave Elliot a gift he loved, and apparently the +3 hearts from getting something they love for their birthday bypasses the limit on 8 hearts and sends them straight to 10 hearts. That was an... interesting boat ride.... I'm so sorry, Abigail.

Keshik posted:Can someone help explain how the Galaxy Sword's effect procs? I was in my slime hutch the other day getting beaten up by my slimes, and then started running around at 4 speed, and obviously thought this was the best thing that had ever happened. I think what you experienced is the speed bug that sometimes happen after you get poisoned, which gives you an insane speed boost once the debuff fades. I've had it happen a few times. Some say it happens if you get poisoned while having the coffee buff, but if that's the case it definitely doesn't happen 100% of the time. Sadly it happens very rarely for me at least, but it's awesome when it does.

You occasionally get Iridium from Omni Geodes, but you'd probably need a huge quantity in order to get any measurable amount of Iridium. And Omni Geodes aren't that plentyful to begin with. I guess maybe if you have the miner 10 trait that increases Geode drops, but leveling mining is a pain in the rear end and even halfway through year 2 I'm only on 8.

Indecisive posted:Man, 300 omni geodes and only got one prismatic shard, does using it at that one place in the desert consume it? I haven't actually looked up what happens, just remember someone mentioning in the thread. Yes, it uses it up. In fact, something I painfully discovered, if you have multiple in a stack and carry the stack it will consume all of them. That was the clearest Alt+F4 moment in the game so far for me. Splitting the stack and carrying only one doesn't consume all of them though.

On a related note I've been revisiting Rune Factory 3 lately (don't have a 3DS to play 4th; too bad it's not on the Vita), and while I appreciate the combat aspect of RF3 more than in Stardew Valley, the farming feels terrible compared to SV's quality of life improvements. I'm half tempted to fire up Harvest Moon: Back to Nature again which I still feel is the best HM game to date, but I'm pretty sure I'd sorely miss the improvements SV has over it. What I'm saying is that we need SV2. RatHat posted:When I run out of trees in my farm I'll chop down the trees in the forest and leave the stumps so they regrow.
