Thanks. I'll probably do some more fishing in Winter aside from changing the layout of my farm and readying it for the new crops.
You have a soft ending, but after that you can go indefinitely.

Yes, but I believe they deliberately aren't talking about it until they've got confirmed news to share.

Fishing is the best mini-game
I also loved fishing! Once I got how it worked I did spend a lot fishing.

Is fishing also affected by your luck on the day? I tried fishing maybe 15 times last night on the beach and the lake south of Marnie's ranch, and in probably 10 of those all I got was trash or newspapers.
I've upgraded to gold pickaxe and my watering can is next. Just in the beginning of Winter now. I don't want to spend too much of my money though as I have ~35k for a few tool upgrades, a farm upgrade and I want a good chunk of that left over to spend on crops when Spring rolls around.

Rule of thumb: If you want to do anything outside of farming, do it on a lucky day. (Mining, Fishing,...)
Does it also affect Journey of the Prairie King? If so, how?
I'm going for the Platinum and beating the minigame without losing a life was relatively easy on PC, but if I can somehow cut the grind a bit more with a good luck day, that'd be great!
Conflicting reports on that one. Some would say yes.
Gutted we didn't hear anything!

is there a better crop to plant? I´m in my first summer going with corn and other ones that give more that dont die out after first crop

Relatively easy!?
I can't even beat the game, let alone without dying.
That trophy sucks, because you could grind for hundreds of hours for the rest of the trophies and still not have the plat because you're crap at an arcade shooter that has no bearing on the rest of the game, annoying.

Blueberry is the best common crop for summer. There are better ones but they're harder and/or much more expensive to acquire. The below crops will also keep producing fruit every few days after their first harvest and do very good returns overall.
Strawberry in Spring
Blueberry in Summer
Cranberry in Fall
Although I would recommend growing a little of everything for the Community Centre.

I forgot to say, thanks for this. I will bear it in mind! Hadn't really paid attention to luck until I had a particularly bad day in the mines, and I've been checking since then.

Making good progress with the Community Centre. I've fully finished one room and I'm nearly there with 2 others. I want to repair the bridge as I assume that will allow me access to the desert and the Skull Cavern. Is there anything you can do with old weapons? I can put them in the vegetable bin outside my house to sell, but I can't seem to do anything else with them either. Not going to be going back to use weaker weapons.
I've got a fence spaced out in front of my house with a scarecrow in the centre, growing a few winter crops but mostly gearing up for Spring. I'm also clearing out trees in the top left corner of my farm as I want to plant an orchard and maybe a pig barn as well when I get a bit more money. Also, had a meteor crash down on my farm the other day, which was a neat little random event.

Regarding the bridge,
you assume wrong; the bridge is for something else. There's another community center room you should be paying attention to if you want to get to the desert. I think that Penny will occasionally drop hints about it.
Old weapons and armor can be sold at the adventurer's guild to the right of the mines. Not much to do with them outside of that. The adventurer's guild will also buy monster parts, though you generally probably want to hold on to those (they're pretty much all useful crafting components).
I broke down waiting for the Switch version and jumped back into the PC version. Found my first Ancient Seed in Spring, and my second in Summer before the first one even had time to grow. Now I'm just stockpiling the fruit until I can get a seed maker.

Thanks for the tips - I probably have a good 6 or 8 weapons to sell by now, so I'll sell them at the adventure guild. Yeah, to begin with I sold everything, but recently I've just been hanging on to pretty much all the stuff I've gathered. Between the Community Centre and crafting I've come to realise that even useless-looking stuff probably will come in necessary for something later on.

I'm really itching to play some Stardew Valley in my Switch. I just started Steamworld Dig 2 on it and it has me wanting SV even more.

about to hit the first winter and loving the game, even fishing, now that I upgraded the pole, is really fun.

Got Leah, Emily, Abigail and Penny to 8 hearts... either going to pursue Abigail or Leah I think.
They've been at 8 hearts for ages though, is there anything special you have to do to reach 9/10?

I got the ancient(?) Seed from Gunter, when should I plant it? Also, are there more worms in winter or are they just easier to spot? .
Preferably in your greenhouse, since they'll produce fruit every 7 days forever without having to be replanted. If that's not an option, the first of spring will ensure maximum yield.
Worms are just easier to spot in the winter.

Uh, so now Leah, Abigail, Penny and Emily are all my girlfriend. Is this gonna get me in trouble?! 😕

Plz switch release soon.
Nah, in fact that's one way to unlock 10 hearts with all of the marriage candidates. You can only marry one though, Stardew Valley isn't in Utah.

Great, now you can all stop pleading for the Switch version and we can focus on what's really important, the Vita version.

Ok, finally think I'm ready to jump in to Stardew and I have a few questions...
1) I was going to buy this on PS4 back in the day, but there was some nasty PS4 Pro compatibility issue, is this still a thing to be worried about?
2) Are there any differences between the PS4 or Switch versions of the game? I know its not a graphical powerhouse, but does the PS4 version "run" better? Portability doesn't mean much to me to me, but might want to buy this on Switch if the versions are identical.
3) I've never played a Harvest Moon or similar type of game, is this a game I should go in blind? Or do you recommend looking up some beginners guides or some other resources so I'm not just sucking/wasting my time doing pointless stuff.
Thanks!

this made me lol
Maybe next playthrough I will do the same.
Anyone playing hillside farm? or monster farm?
1. I haven't played it on PS4 myself, but from what I've heard it's an OS-related problem on Sony's end that Stardew Valley just happens to trigger. If you don't put the game into sleep mode supposedly it's fine, but that's just what I've read in the thread here so your millage may vary.
2. I haven't played it on Switch either yet, but I can't imagine a game like this has any performance issues other than a few launch bugs that are in the process of getting patched out. People seem really pleased with the Switch version.
3. Go in blind, take your time; games like Stardew Valley and Harvest Moon are about enjoying the simple life at a slightly frantic pace (don't let the short days and huge number of things to do scare you off, you have time to do everything). A good game of Stardew Valley is both relaxing in a zen-like way (all of your tasks are clear, immediate and easily accomplished) and hopelessly addictive (don't be surprised if you're playing "just one more day" all night). There's no way to lose and nothing you can miss that can't be repeated again later without penalties.
If you decide you want to use the Wiki, however, that's fine too; this is a game where the goal is to just relax and have fun, some people like just running around making a little farm, some people enjoy making a super profitable farm. Some people farm just enough to get through the game and spend all of their time fishing or socializing with the NPCs or what-have-you. Everything is connected though, so if you decide to do everything, you can't really go wrong either.
Does anyone know of any mods to make more items stack? I understand it isn't really workable for most produce and stuff with quality differences, but things like tappers, casks, chests, etc.? For whatever reason the game allows crab pots to stack but barely anything else (even though tons of items are identical and should be fine to stack).

Just picked this up as a side game to putt around in when im tired of shooting and or killing things.
I've gone in kind of blind. Don't have much experience with harvest moon and I've only seen/read a handful of things with regards to this game.
Enjoying it so far. About a week in. Felt myself getting more and more overwhelmed, especially after reading a few things online. I had no idea there are so many things to do!
Nice to see there's no rush and many ways to approach how you play.

So after 100 hours played on this game and I can't get enough. This is my go to game for relaxing while gaming. Nothing better than waking up and having morning coffee while cranking out a few days in this game. I have recommended this game to so many people best $15 you can spend.
Still blown away one person made this game.

Same! Just coming up to 100 hours, I also play while I have my coffee in the morning, even though it means I leave the house a little later than planned some days.
This is also my relaxation game, it's helped me through some stressful times recently.
