This game is very good and I'm enjoying it far more than Stardew Valley.

Vhak lord of hate posted:My praxis is cheat engineing myself a hundred thousand dollars because they nerfed fish and I deserve it. But money isn't hard to come by in this game? I mean, I'm only mid-way through Fall but I've yet to have any money troubles. Especially with the big boosts from the monthly rankings.

Kyrosiris posted:Some of the later land purchases are six-figure expenditures though. So? I'm in no rush to get them. I haven't even outgrown the 15k purchase. There are also a gently caress ton of main story quests that give 10k gold. If you're trying to speed rush everything in this game, then yeah, I can see running out of money. Taking it chill hasn't lead me into any problems yet.

Yinlock posted:it is perhaps too chill, as the basic furnace takes maybe 300 years to smelt something I made 4 basic furnaces to start. Every night, I would set them to crank out some material, be it copper, bronze, charcoal, glass. When I could make civil furnaces, I made 4 of those and sold the basic furnaces. Then I got the industrial furnaces. I made 4 of those and sold the civil furnaces. I've never seen a need (yet) to have more than one of the other crafting stations, so I've kept those to one each. But I always keep at least 4 furnaces. If you only built one furnace, you're the one who hosed up and isn't the game's fault.

The Bramble posted:Holy poo poo, when you're looking inside a storage chest in your yard theres a little banner at the top of the screen that lets you switch to any storage chest on your property without having to run around and interact with them or even leave the inventory screen!! While my wife and I both played Harvest Moon/Story of Seasons games in the distant past, our most recent frame of reference for games like this is Stardew Valley. While I enjoyed Stardew Valley, there were always some things that annoyed me (I felt like a lot of information wasn't easily surfaced in the game and I was constantly referring to a wiki for information). This game does not require that. Plus, this game is filled with a ton of quality of life features. Here is a (non-comprehensive) list of things I've discovered or been surprised by in this game:

Everyone post some character/workshop pictures! I'm currently mid-Fall. Just finished the land run. Repaired the lift, but haven't fixed the pipe yet.  The entrance to my workshop is flanked by an awesome monument and also a stone pillar  I have all my storage separated into about 15 metal storage bins. The ones in this picture are Ruins Generic (for items that can be found in any ruins), Ruins 1 Relics, Ruins 2 Relics, Farming Items, Gifts & Misc. To the right of the cooking station is Ingredients, Meals & Medicine, and Fish.  My crafting area is made up of 4 Industrial Furnaces and then one of each of the other crafting stations. The storages I have here are: Monster Drops, Raw Mats 1, Raw Mats 2, Crafted Mats (for bars and other intermediate items), Equipables, and Housing Items.  I have my planters right out in front of my house so I remember to fertilize daily.

Alice freaks me out because she acts and dresses just like my old roommate (whose name also begins with A). They wear the exact same long sweaters, have long brown hair, and constantly talk about plants and books.

Verviticus posted:are they still patching big issues post-release or is this game more or less complete and worth getting now The game is fully featured and pretty much bug free (at least so far as I've seen). They are still planning on adding more content to the game over time, but that's just a bonus. If you want to wait until they stop adding content all together, you may be waiting years.

Sydin posted:
If you talk to people (especially Nora/Lee) during some of those quests, especially the Dee-Dee Transport ones, the complain endlessly about the mayor adopting this technology. This comes up even more in the Ack questline too. I'm only half way through the story (just finished the bridge to the desert) so I don't know if it comes up more. So far it seems like there is definitely conflict there, but I'm glad I never have to pick a side (because then the church folk could get hosed).

The actual answer to social interactions in Portia is to carry around roses and other gifts and just give those out on holidays. If you bump into someone, chat, but otherwise there is no reason to try to grind out relationships by talking to everyone daily.

I've waited this long, I can wait until full release. At this point, we should only be a few months out from full release, unless the whole schedule got delayed.

drat. That looks good. I haven't been keeping tabs on Sandrock as I wanted to wait for the full release and goddamn does it look like they've improved as a developer. The stuff in here makes Portia look like a rough tech demo.

Portia's story was already super long though (again, not a bad thing). This game is going to take 2 years for me to get through the story.

Megazver posted:I think she might be just a smidge... Brooklyn, maybe? I thought it was fine. Amirah and Arvio are way too much for me, though. And Haru's lines sound there were recorded in a closet. Yeah, it's like very subtle so its hard for me to get a good read on it. At various times I've guessed everything from Brooklyn to Boston to generic midwest accent. If anything, I find myself annoyed that it is more on the subtle side as I am distracted trying to place it ever time she talks.

I'm surprised by how many people in this thread seem to be new "My Time" enjoyers. I was one of those people that played Portia shortly after launch (and then again a couple years later). I feel like Portia was and is, even for all its rough edges, one of the best games in the cozy/farm/factory sim genre. That being said, goddamn Sandrock gives a good first impression. I'm only about a week into the game and I'm having a blast. My wife and I are both playing on PC and every 10 minutes or so, one of us leans over to the other one to be like "Oh poo poo! Look at this cool feature!" Game is good. socialsecurity posted:I very much like how this game lets you adjust the speed of the days. Now that I'm nearing 600 stamina I set the time to go at 70% and it gives me much more room to talk to people/use all that up every day. The ability to adjust the speed of time passing is amazing. I cranked it to 60% because majority of the time when my wife and I are each playing, we're pretty zooted so this gives us the opportunity go get distracted, do dumb stuff, and not feel like we're loving ourselves over.

I just like Mi-an because she doesn't act like she's in competition with the player. She very much feels like she has a "We're in this together, so lets both work together and do our best." But I guess people want every other builder to be the Higgins type of "I'm going to be aggressively competitive but also suck." With Mi-an, she's the first character I've experienced across games like this (Portia, Sandrock, Stardew, and others) where I just really enjoy every time she's around. She's nice and friendly without being overbearing or having ulterior motives and it doesn't come across as omg hero worship either. She's just kind and shows the player respect as a colleague. It makes me want to be the overbearing obsessive friend.
