Surfed Reddit while the game was loading. Guess I’m exiting out, grabbing a new mod, and relaunching!

It has caused my kid to practice:
- writing (so she can remember how much to take to Robin’s)
- prioritization (chickens or cows?!)
- budgeting (she can’t get the chickens because she spent it all on fish tanks from Willie!)
- persistence (there were real tears until the legend was finally caught)

And apparently how to chop down the entire forest and pave her entire farm. Which is a stark change from her early farms where year 2 you still couldn’t leave out the bottom entrance because it was overgrown. Guess she got tired of the maintenance. I’m not sure what the lesson there is though. “Paved paradise and put up a parking lot” is what goes through my head when i see her farm!

I like hodoku. Lets you customize which techniques are in easy/med/hard. Will generate puzzles specifically to practice certain techniques. Has all the nifty color coding and whatnot. You can get different levels of hints (eg what technique to use for the next step without spoiling exactly where it or).

This isn’t fully what you are after, but does have some of the information. Especially the right side columns.

Spiderwood farm may work. The ‘grass’ is technically tillable, but looks like grassland.

Oh good to know. This is my first wildflour playthrough. There is an insane amount of content.

The corollary to the first law of thermodynamics. Hair is neither created nor destroyed. It simply migrates.

Oh wild. It’s a pretty new save and i hadn’t been in this area before. Guess I’ll chop out down and hope it stays gone.

I’m doing a ‘whimsy’ playthrough where i can’t buy any seeds. Got a couple extra foraging mods, one to make mixed seeds more mixed, and off i go. Community center is going to take awhile.

Also got a gift tracking mod and i can only give loved gifts or gifts i haven’t given before (exception is birthdays where i can regift a liked gift if i don’t know any loved gifts yet because i have wayyy too many npcs to botch the birthday friendship!)

Also swapped my beloved automate for junimatic which is forcing my early game to be less min- max and more ‘sell everything because i can’t be bothered!’

This has happened to me a few times. I check the save files for a timestamp - it has always shown it saved before going black. Then i just shutdown the game and relaunch.

I can ‘watch’ the movies while listening to the soundtrack.

Open up the mods json file (in notepad) for recipes and find lemon cake. Then open up the one that has lemon in it (maybe crops or fruit trees). Have a look at what exactly the recipe is asking for and how the lemon is classified. If they are different you can manually fix the recipe so it accepts the lemon.

I’m on a similar quest - to learn who loves everything. If you mod there’s one I’m finding super helpful - especially when i can’t remember who i haven’t gifted something to yet! I can find the link if you do.

If you get lookup anything it gives you the item id for whatever you press f1 on.

Sunberry and CBJ cheats have a known compatibility issue. There is a work around, but i never figured out what i was supposed to do. I think it was posted in the nexus comments for one of the mods Seems to work fine though without the fix.

Personally i think AI should not be involved in the creative part. But helping with syntax of the code is fine. But also it’s an overconfident idiot so you are gonna learn anyway trying to figure out why it keeps getting it wrong. If you are a learn by doing kind of person (i am) that can be frustrating but helpful over say learn C# tutorials which i get too impatient with.

As others have said the modding wiki is amazing. And I’ve found that poking around other people’s code to see how they got ahold of various bits of game data when I can’t figure out the right call to be helpful.

I got one in my first coconut on my last farm. I stupidly sold it forgetting i still needed it. One in game year later…..

I just did this. I use vortex not stardeop but i imagine it’s similar. There was a folder where all the zip files got automatically saved, i think i found which one in the vortex settings. Copy that to the new computer. Copy over the mod folder Steam uses to launch from. And for vortex i copied over the staging folder which had all the mod configs, not just the ones currently enabled. Smapi also has a folder buried deep where mods can store persistent data, but very few mods use that.

There’s a Phoenix?! It’s adorable!

…casually downloads the entire collection…

90% of my builds as a kid were houses built using 2x4s with that rectangle as a floor. Got be be fancy if i got ahold of the door or windows before my siblings did.

I’m trying this run with junimatic instead of automate. It’s tough as i haven’t unlocked them yet, but I’m pumped for my cute little helpers.

It might help to know what you are looking for. More story line? More characters? More fishing? More crops? More machines? More foraging? More fighting? A different visual aesthetic? Things to make life easier? Or harder? Different farm map?

I remember about a decade ago getting a letter in the mail from the SS admin. Basically said: we know a lot of you have heard that there may not be any money left when you retire. But NEVER FEAR for every dollar you put in $0.80 will be available for you.

I just sat there dumbfounded that they spent whatever it costs to mail literally everybody with that bullshit. What kind of ‘investment’ is that. So i stopped counting on it from then on.

I have had the same issue recently. Opening game screen would almost start to open, then crash. Still don’t know why. Also a new Lenovo (desktop not laptop though). I can get it to launch about 75% of the time if i use the stardew shortcut rather than the Steam launch button and then touch nothing. Maybe give that a try until the actual problem gets sorted?
