Had the same problem and just ended up selling the cows and goats, my barns have just pigs and sheeps now (easier to maintain imo). I'm thinking about selling the ducks now too and stick to chickens.

Not sure. I've seen a few on the ground recently and I'm in summer. Maybe it is a season thing.

Thanks guys. It really is too much. I had every variety of animal. I was making mayo and cheese throughout the day, milking cows and goats, petting everything. Just sold em and buying pigs now. Keeping some chickens and ducks.
I just got a cutscene with Shane
where he wants to kill himself by jumping off the cliff, and you end up taking him to the hospital.

I might do this too. Especially now that I have a shed that is currently pumping out pale ale by the truck load.
I'm going to miss those animals though. Those cows/goats/and chickens got me through that first winter big time. It was the first season where I had consistent cash flow.
Going full pig means zero profit in winter so I don't recommend that. Like you said, sheep are good because you can tell at a glance they are ready and cloth is worth almost double cheese
No other way than to start chopping those pine/oak/maple trees.
An upgraded axe goes a long way here. If you have cash you can also buy it from Robin

Did you clean up all your grass before knowing ? 😂
I wish he would have gone the Harvest Moon Back to Nature way here, where grass was cut down but still remained on the same spot and could grow again.

Yeah that would have worked out much better.
I finally got the ability to make better sprinklers (yay) it was brutal hand watering everything my whole day was gone before I knew it xD

Honestly that dream pushed me away from Emily towards Abigail for good. Emily loses her cute factor when she has her not smiling responses.
I've got a whole bunch planted around, but waiting a day for it to MAYBE spread, and then cutting it to MAYBE get a hay? Yeah, that's annoying.
Yeah, that would've been fine too if the growth rate and harvest rate of the grass is consistent. I don't know why they couldn't just let us turn wheat or something into hay for the animals.
It really is annoying, Its the only part of the game that feels like a challenge when you get 50+ hours and 15+ animals. Some tips:
Build more then one silo; better to stockpile over the years if possible. I have 4 I believe with a max in the ~900s
Fence off (so your animals cant eat it) a large section thats completely clear except for grass. Hold off until its really full and cut a path through it every other day. The more that you leave, the faster it will come back, at least it seems that way.

I just tried to plant a rare seed and some parsnip seeds and they disappeared. I could plant stuff over them and I have no idea where they went.
Known glitch?

Also you can take a bunch of hay early on when you only have 1 silo and store it in a chest.

It can happen before that, none of my animals are at 2 hears and I get a few big x a day.

After 45 or more hours, and well into year 2, I finally came across the crash screen when you go to save your game at the end of a long day.
I read the dev notes, and did everything I could to make sure to organize the materials in my fridge. I guess after getting married, does your partner remove things from your fridge when they make you a meal? That might've created a gap in my inventory, which is the cause of the crash.

This game needs plantable bushes for the farm, like you see around town. The small 1x1 ones and the bigger fat boys.

Happened to me too. Tried to plant parsnip seeds and they never appeared on the ground but the packet emptied out. I was bummed for sure. My watermelon seeds worked fine though.
It's not a glitch. It happens if you use seeds that aren't designed to be planted during that season. Parsnips are a Spring crop, Melons are a Summer crop.

Ah thanks. How do I tell what season it is?
There's an icon in the top right corner under the date that will tell you. Also the world just looks different. Lots of lighter colors for spring, tons of green for summer, brown/orange for fall, and snow everywhere for winter.
Spring / Summer
Fall / Winter
I think the calendar will also tell you. Each season lasts 28 days.
EDIT: Also, Pierre will ONLY sell you seeds (he will sell all saplings, though) that can be planted during the current season. So if it's Summer, he won't sell you Parsnips, but he will sell you Melons. That can help tell you which crops to plant.

Really lame you can't break up relationships. I was feeding Robin hardwood for a few seasons until I realized it. All the bachelorettes seem young and I was lookin for a woman.
Had this happen to me, too, with the cutscene where he mentions he feels great.It was centered on the room above, when the actual event was happening down below.

Yeah I'll just avoid the fuck out of the fridge until further notice seems like the safest strategy.

Can you link some of these videos? I'm curious what their advice is.
Valid point. The game is fun because there is no wrong or right way to play. I could farm 100% of the time and neglect all relationships, or I could befriend everybody. I just feel like I could've managed my time better year one.
While there's no right way to play, some folks like general direction in order to not feel like they've wasted their time or could've done something a bit more efficiently.
This is my second playthrough of SV. I'm making way more money and having a lot more fun this go around. Somehow had 10k gold by the end of Y1 Spring. You couldn't have told me I could do that my first time through.

Robin was in my sights but then realized she's married, so I stopped playing.
The problem with that video is that you probably won't have the golden parnisp for the community center.
It will happen in the next one too.
Yeah, no, thanks. Min/Maxing right from the start will ruin the game for you. That much cash year 1? You'll lose interest pretty fast...

You can always get with her daughter, and you know, pretend? However the apple falls far from the tree on that one.
I full hearted Maru and Abby, and both were labeled as my "girlfriend" for about 15 game days before deciding on who I wanted as my wife. Once I got married I expected a full shitstorm from the one I left behind, but
that didn't happen. She, Maru,
was like "I'm optimistic." I was expecting a full "WTF?"

Really? I've been avoiding all info and even this thread and have been completely loving the game.
That's what you get for watching those videos more like it.
