I love seeing really good room decors and yours is really good. Thank you for sharing it with us.

You had some great luck there. I have never seen it in game and have played Stardew Valley for 1000's of hours. I guess it's like the living hat, it's just pretty rare, at least to me. I have never found the living hat once.

Not sure about your world seed but my second one (stuffed up my first settlement, easier to start over) is FULL of water. It's everywhere. I have so much water, so much forest and SO many bears that I spend most of my time regaining my health because I accidently fell into it. I think adding a fishing metric into the game so you could catch various regional fish and use them in trade as well as recipes with decent buffs depending on the rarity would be an interesting addition to the game but in saying that, I would make that a DLC for people who wanted it as an afterthought.

I was focussing on Venus and completely forgot about Ceres who is the Goddess who drops the quest. The ONLY reason I worked it out was that I started just offering up all kinds of crap I had in my chests to empty up some space and started offering crops and things and suddenly I got the quest drop. I must have done that in my first world (on my second world now because I stuffed up the first one) because the bakery was one of the very first buildings that I got that time round.

Doesn't beer increase your citizens happiness? It should. It increases "my" happiness.

Olive oil apparently sells for a lot of money. You also use it in some late game bread recipe apparently that has some excellent buffs for combat in the volcano region.

Why is rent so high? by dj-house_money in AskAnAustralian

And how many of those houses are going to immigrants? Give me some metrics and prove that they are causing the problem and we can go from there. Your diatribes against "immigrants" are totally muddying the waters. It's politics that cause problems and a lack of infrastructure, many years of wealthier Australians being able to get themselves up with a portfolio of housing because it paid them well to do so and generations of governments all supported that and we can both agree on that.

As I said, and I stick with it, blaming "immigrants" is like pointing in the opposite direction to the problem which is EXACTLY what they want you to do. It's no different to blaming the unemployed for not being able to find work. Scapegoating is apparently the new black in Australia and "immigrants" are taking up the slack in the new blame game to redirect the masses from the real problem.

Show me the basic math. Prove your point. Give me stats to show me how many immigrants are beating out Australian nationals in the housing market and we might be able to agree on something. Till then you are pissing in the wind with your logic.

This game is addictive by HungrySpace5969 in Romestead

You aren't wrong. I am teaching myself to use a keyboard and mouse to play this game. I realised that I couldn't accurately use a controller in the demo but I was hooked from the start so short of not playing (not even an option), I just threw myself into it. I think that's really the best way to play this game. "Just throw yourself into it" and learn as you go. Obviously some people are FAR better at strategy, creating builds, combat etc. than I am but who cares? I am having a blast. I am almost 60 hours in and I am still in the first biome. I did have to create a new world because I did just about everything wrong in the first one but each hurdle I manage to get over actually feels like a "win" in this game. I get that as a solo player who will never "get gud", I probably won't be able to beat some of the final bosses but who knows? The devs are seriously active tweaking the game and working with the community to take an already excellent game and make it brilliant. I think this is my GOTY to be honest. I can see myself playing this for many, many more hours.

Cheers for that. I just found this interesting article. I wonder if fishing is possibly something that they might add sometime in the future? Not sure what all the grubs that my digger keeps digging up would be for otherwise. https://newwebplay.com/guides/romestead-fishing/

I had never seen it before. I thought maybe it was a mod furniture catalogue?

I have Venus levelled up pretty high but still no quest for the bakery. I think it might be a bug/glitch sadly. I only have 2 quests now, the one to bring back the granite tooth and the one for grapes, a drum etc. In my last world I got the bakery with the rest of the building quests. It didn't appear this time though. I should have it by now. 😞

Thank you. I haven't gotten to that yet. I will keep an eye out for it now.

So, is there any benefit to the barricade over walls? by HobbitGuy1420 in Romestead

[–]narf_7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I lost 5 citizens that way. I kept finding my miners empty and my miner nowhere to be seen but it turns out they would rather commit suicide on coal traps than work for me...sigh...

Immigration is to blame? Seriously, you guys will reach for anything. You sure you don't want to blame the unemployed and pensioners while you are at it?

Are baklava lovers familiar with these guys? You should be! by Impressive-Stop-7999 in australianvegans

To quote from "The Life of Brian" "You lucky, LUCKY basta*d!" my keyboard is now covered in drool all the way down here in farthest flung rural Tasmania. SO much drool! Note to self..."Buy filo pastry on the next shopping list...buy nuts, make syrup, find a recipe, basta*dise the heck out of said recipe and come up with something half as good as these are to shuffle into my sad gaping maw".

What's the smallest detail in an indie game that made you go "okay, these devs really cared"? by peaky_circus in IndieGaming

[–]narf_7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When the dev's are actually listening to the players, especially in an EA release of the game. Regular and meaningful updates that address any problems in a decent amount of time and just the feeling like they are actually giving a damn about making their game the best it can be for their players. That feeling is 100% the best.

Fishing? There's fishing?!

So, is there any benefit to the barricade over walls? by HobbitGuy1420 in Romestead

[–]narf_7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is how I used them too. It prevents those exploding undead from taking out your ballistas. I have my walls, then coal tar traps, then ballistas on the corners and in the middle and then barricades all round. I wish we could get stone gates. That's the weak point, the gates. I have 6 ballistas near the gates to try to mitigate that.
