Stardew Valley

[SanFranBear]

I've been playing this quite excessively on my Switch and just had to start a thread to say how much I love this.

I'm at the start if Autumn in year 2 and I'm going to get married soon! I'm also about to unlock ducks and I've got various tree tapping going on and it's just so much fun!

Anyone else love this game?

I didn't know that... my chickens and ducks have always been free range although I do try and keep my Barn animals contained.

Yeah, I lost a chicken in the early days. I make a huge enclosure and that way they can roam happy.

So just went back on after reading this thread, and I'm married to Sam who is deffo abusive "Did you get done on the farm today? I won't be mad if you didn't"

I'm in Winter Year 2.

Haha, Juney - Shane also had a choice remark about me cleaning up.. yeah, working an entire farm, doing chores for the entire population of the village, collecting random stuff for the Community Centre as well as attacking monsters in the mine to stock the local museum and trying to be friends with everyone.. I've soooo got time to clean what is already an immaculate house!!

Thank you! I’ve built a fence now, don’t want to lose Cluck and Clucky to any wild animals

Cluck & Clucky

I will admit, I have some themes going on with my animals:

Chickens - the champions from Zelda, Breath of the Wild
Ducks - my two favourite YouTubers
Cows - the Baudelaires from Lemony Snickett
Sheep - Harry Potter characters
Goats - the Famous Five
Pig - I only have one at the moment who is, of course, called Peppa

My son is also called Kylo as I went to see the new Star Wars the day he arrived..

I have 12 pigs now all randomly generated names apart from one who is also called Peppa.

I ended up with a cow with the same name as me! all randomly generated

I've not had a truffle off my pigs yet!

Ohh it's winter so they probably won't "find" them?

They won't leave the barn in winter. Have radiators for your barn and coop @juneybean

@SanFranBear
Haha, that’s me all the way. Themed names! Something satisfying about it

I'm finally back into Spring and forgot how hard work the farm is bloody weeds everywhere!

I always get very carried away in Spring (look at me in Year 3!) and go so damn hard in the first few days that I'm watering bloody crops until about 4pm

Upgrading your watering can is essential although I'm only just now finding the occasional bit of Iridium Ore so may take me a while!

What grade did you get grandfather? If you lit 4 candles you will get a statue which will be very helpful.

get from the grandfather I mean.

Ahh I've got loads of the iridum waterers

I've only got 3 candles lit at the moment.. not sure what I have to do to trigger the 4th but I'm sure I'll get there (presume it might be something to do with getting all animals or raising a certain amount of g's?)

Oooh I've got 3 candles too! On the link that @darkriver19886 shared, if you go to "grandpa's evaluation" it says it's linked to a points system and you need 11+ to reach 4 stars.

I haven't yet completed the community centre (some fish eluding me!)

Sorry! 12+ points!

@sanfranbear
Don't forget to check travelling cart. To retrigger grandfather you can put a diamond on the alter.

I have diamonds in my gem creator thing, so plenty of those bad boys!

I expect it's the Community Centre.. like you, juney, got a few fish to get but also a couple of items for the notice board one.

@SanFranBear
Lots of different saves but the longest one is year 33.

Year 33!!!! Holy bloody hell - I am deeply impressed! I am guessing you don't age... or do you? What about the villagers - I mean shit, are George & Evelyn still kicking about?

Oh my God. I love this game. In one game I was married to elliot but he spends far too much if his time staring out to sea.

In the game I am playing now, it's the 11th of winter, I've just got to the Calico desert (jojo mart, not community centre) I have a greenhouse full of cranberries apart from 10 ancient seed plants.
The long term goal, is to only grow ancient fruit and then put into kegs which I will keep in sheds and turn it into wine.
I have no animals apart from the dog, and I'm not currently pursuing anyone, why should I do all the chasing 🤔

year 33 amazing!

I've just added a cellar with boatloads of barrels to age my cheese and wine!
