It makes me happy during a very rough time seeing you still going strong with this series, crazy consistency

If you want a different experience for this game that gives you more replayability, I suggest checking out archipelago: https://archipelago.gg/

Archipelago is a multi world randomizer that connects games and shuffles everything between them, for example someone can be playing zelda ocarina of time, open a chest, and find in it Mario's ability to jump in someone elses game of super mario world.

Stardew valley is randomizable in AP as well, which can give you different goals, like completing a randomized community center, marrying and having kids, perfect evaluation, among others you can choose. You can connect it with other games your friends are playing, but if they also want to play stardew, you are able to send each other gifts to help each others progression. Everyone can have different goals, you all choose what you want to randomize, like randomizing entrances, having to unlock seasons, randomizing recipes, and more.

I very much recommend it, AP is a lot of fun, and I bring stardew to it often, depending on the settings you make you can have it be a single gaming session thing or a multi day affair, and always more fun when you have friends also playing stardew and you help each other finish the goals.

It's been a while since I played this, but, did you know you can use areas outside your farm??? It's true.

You can set up literally hundreds of kegs in the quarry. Grow strawberries, and blueberries. Then put a keg right outside your house.

Now put all your berrys of the current season into the kegs at the quarry, and then come home. Now put 1 inside the 1 keg outside your house.

Now when the one at your house is done, it means it's time to grab your other spare berries, head to the quarry, and harvest your wine.

You can also do this inside the tunnel where the bus goes.

There are ways to make Stardew more competitive:

• Parody of The Bachelor and all players could compete to marry one NPC

• First to unlock each new area and plant a sign, like a conquistador planting a flag

• Biggest ho: first to get 10 hearts with all romancable NPCs

• First to get married and have 2 kids

• First to get to a million (if you chose split money)

• Most money earned in a day/season/year

• Most combined hearts from NPCs in a day/year/season

• First to complete ___ collection

Me and twin love playing multiplayer together, although these days with lots of mods.

Twin always manages to marry Krobus even though I want to, but one of the mods adds Apples so I have them move in!

Also, it is 50% off now both on Steam & GOG. I have this game on every single platform that it supports. But I mostly play on PC because of mods. Can't have that on Switch.

Single player it's fun too. I can't help but feel it doesn't have a lot of replay ability to me personally once i get out of the early game. By summer it just becomes the standard checklist for me.

This is crazy talk. There's always so much to add and improve!

I flippin love Stardew! Nice choice.

Also, have been follwing since your first post. What a journey.

I applaud your dedication!
