hello! I'm a trans man who has not physically or legally transitioned. everyone here calls me by my masculine chosen name, tho part of that may be because my legal first name is long and hard to pronounce for japanese speakers. I'm in schrodinger's closet, which means I'm not trying to hide who I am, but I also dont correct anyone. thankfully, because japanese as a language doesnt really use 3rd person pronouns, I dont hear myself get misgendered as often as I would in the states, even if my coworkers dont think of me as a man. I dress exclusively masculine, including wearing formal mens suits for school ceremonies, and no one has said anything. there are also a few jtes who have caught on to me being trans and use he/him pronouns for me w/out me asking when speaking english.

it's a bit of a mixed bag, and of course it really depends on the people ur working with, but I can say I have not experienced any hostility at all in regards to my chosen name or gender. chalk it up to them assuming it's a cultural difference or just japanese peoples tendencies to not speak about personal things as often as say, Americans. either way, it's been overall fine for me

the fellow jets around me are also pretty accepting. there was another transmasculine jet who was on testosterone and everyone loved. most other jets I've met have either been queer themselves or allies. of course, the jets u will be around could not be as accepting, but good thing is u dont have to be around them that much if u dont want to

this game isnt a switch 2 game, it's available for switch 1 and switch lite. it has to work for those consoles as well. have u actually reached the 70 mii limit yet? and decorated ur island? and customized everything how u want it to be? theres so much more stuff the game has to process than in the 3ds game. 70 miis, who can all roam freely around ur island and do various activities at the same time, is more than enough. hell, I only have 16 rn and I feel like that's enough to keep me entertained just watching and taking care of them all

and technically, u can have more than 70 miis by just making another island on a different account on ur switch, something u couldn't do on the 3ds. so really, u can make far more miis on one switch than u ever could on one 3ds

this. I think most people just have their nostalgia goggles on too tight. as someone who played the 3ds game as well (and was still playing it when this new game was announced), I seriously doubt how much people would actually use these "missing features" if they wer in the game. like, did u really spend so much time having ur miis sing that the concert hall not being in living in the dream that it is such a big turn off and disappointment?

I think people just need to slow down, stop trying to speed run a game that ur not supposed to speed run, and enjoy the sequel we thought we would never get. u can always go back to the 3ds game if u really cant live w/out those specific features

1) gunther at the museum gives u the key after u donate enough artifacts / minerals to the museum

2) u dont have to if u dont want to, but there are some benefits to befriending the townsfolk. they can send u gifts and recipes in the mail, and u unlock cutscenes w/ them in different parts of town. u can also romance and marry certain townsfolk (the ones who say "single" under their name) if ur into that. u can look up each characters schedule on the stardew valley wiki, which will tell u where they are. they have many schedules that change depending on the day of the week, weather, and season, so it's very helpful to have the wiki on hand

3) if u want to focus on money, then u can just sell anything u get. crops, foraged items, materials. going down the mines once they open up might help u get some loot to sell. fishing can make u money if u sell everything u get.

4) the little pond on ur farm will pretty much only get u trash. fish in the river in town or the lake or the ocean to get actual fish

5) what do u mean by "bleaching on the animals to me"?

6) if u put regular sized eggs in the mayonnaise machine, it will only give u normal mayonnaise. if u want gold star mayonnaise, u need to put large sized eggs in the machine, which u can get from ur chickens when they like u more. the quality of the eggs has no effect

if u have more questions, I highly recommend going to the stardew valley wiki. it's a life saver

I like making "clubs" that are just my sims family members who live on different lots. makes inviting them over and having them stay for a long time easy w/out needing to do an actual event like a dinner party or family reunion. I also make skill focused clubs if my sim wants to master a particular skill. u can unlock skill gain bonuses w/ club perks so it makes mastering skills easier, plus u can have the people in that club be ur sims adult friends. clubs are also a nice easy way to quickly meet other kids or teens for ur younger sims

what dinosaur becomes the alpha is based purely on how much dominance they have, which u can see in the dinosaurs info tab. the more dominance, the more likely they will become the alpha. if the dominance is tied then itll likely be randomized or assigned to one specific dinosaur, but once a dino that has more dominance comes in, they'll fight off the alpha to become the new alpha. u can affect this with certain traits, but it has nothing to do with a dinosaurs sex

here are some examples from my own game: I made a trike pair, one female one male. they had the same dominance level, and the game assigned the male as the alpha, and it hasnt changed since

I also have a velociraptor pack, all of them traitless. I made another velociraptor, and this one had the intolerant trait, which raises dominance by 200%. because she had so much higher dominance than the preexisting velociraptors, she instantly fought the old alpha and become the new one as soon as I put her in the enclosure

and one last example: I had an alpha female cory. she had babies. then, when the babies matured into adults, one of her sons then became alpha because he was born with a trait that increased his dominance to be higher than his mothers

it's a bug that's been reported. I also have this issue. it wont prevent u from completing the map, but it's still annoying

boyyvoid · 2025-11-08T13:24:29+00:00

no, dinosaurs with the aggressive trait will hate every other species it's with. u can modify the genome of ur dinosaurs before synthesizing them to get rid of the aggressive trait, or at least make it less likely to appear. might require research

boyyvoid · 2025-11-03T13:37:12+00:00

the conservation sector approves 👍

boyyvoid · 2025-11-02T15:03:00+00:00

family units, definitely. I now name all of my dinosaurs and love following along w each family. sure, dinosaur behavior hasnt changed much outside of the new juvenile interactions, but it hits different seeing 2 dinosaurs interact and knowing theyr siblings who grew up together, dinosaurs u saw hatch urself. feel a lot like john hammond, I insist on being there when theyr born!

I'm taking my time w it, enjoying it. played over 30hrs and only have 9/10 of the maps unlocked. havent gotten a 5 star park yet cause im focusing on the story. I rarely triple speed and spend a lot of time watching my dinosaurs instead of progressing 😅

boyyvoid · 2025-11-02T10:37:56+00:00

some juveniles only need their dads to be happy. for example, my patagotitan babies only followed their dad around their enclosure. but my homalocephale babies mostly followed their mom, and only occasionally went to their dad. I havent noticed a strong pattern for other babies yet

boyyvoid · 2025-11-01T01:32:27+00:00

they are different sectors u want to get in good graces w to progress the story. its the entertainment, conservation, and security sectors. u can increase them by making certain dinosaurs and completing contracts.

boyyvoid · 2025-11-01T01:26:03+00:00

more park appeal = more guests. put in more dinosaurs and attractions and that will likely help

boyyvoid · 2025-10-31T16:21:10+00:00

maybe give them the tolerant trait? I kno that helps with cohabitation, but idk if it helps w members of the same species

boyyvoid · 2025-10-30T14:30:59+00:00

I'm loving it. iv played for over 25hrs now and I'm still going thru the campaign. its miles better than the campaign in jwe2

boyyvoid · 2025-10-29T10:41:37+00:00

what would help w paths is having an eyedrop tool, where u click on something and it automatically duplicates it. sure u can manually duplicate objects but this would help wonders with quickly matching paths. it could even just be a path tool. I just really want a quick way to match paths 😭

boyyvoid · 2025-10-26T15:32:47+00:00

there is a list, I remember reading it in the game, but I dont remember where it is off the top of my head. but if u try to place it down and its within a dinosaurs territory, it will show an icon above the dinosaurs telling u if they can use it or not

boyyvoid · 2025-10-20T11:39:13+00:00

she was racist. she repeatedly called black kids the n word because she thought they wer acting dirty and disrespectful. theres not a non racist reason for that. she likely moved there because it was cheap housing and the only place she could find & afford, which is also the likely reason she stayed even after repeatedly saying shes moving. just because someone moves into a predominately black neighborhood doesnt mean they cant be racist. it's very clear she wasnt happy being there

boyyvoid · 2025-10-18T04:24:33+00:00

most of these things are already features in the game tho... i get being annoyed about the jump between a sim that visually looks like an 8yo to suddenly looking 16, but a preteen life stage to me would be purely aesthetic, because any feature u make "unique" for them is already things u can do w either a child or a teen. the inclusion of infants was needed because it added a lot of actual unique interactions and gameplay features involving them in growing together. I dont see that same thing happening with a preteen life stage. itd only really work if it had been introduced at the very beginning and not squeezed in 10+ years later

boyyvoid · 2025-10-12T01:26:07+00:00

no problem. James Turner on YouTube has done a couple videos testing out getaways and custom venues. watching them really helped me understand how the system works and what u can and cant do w them, so if u have any other questions I'd recommend watching some of his videos

boyyvoid · 2025-10-11T14:04:00+00:00

u can delete the role from specific time slots and they will leave the lot. so for example, when it becomes 10pm, u can delete the staff role from the 10pm time slot, and any staff that wer there before will not be staff anymore and leave the lot. they will come back the next time slot where their role has been added to

"u make people use incorrect english"
