I have a question concerning minecarts.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

How do you repair them? I did all the quests for the junimos in the boiler room but the minecarts still won't work. Is there another step to the process?

I had to plug in my controller to actually be able to catch anything other than sardines. For some reason using the mouse makes it a lot more difficult for me.

Does the controller give you analog control over the bar?

The controller works exactly the same as the mouse, I just find it easier.

Hmm nope. You complete the 3 Boiler Room bundles, then a cutscene happens (which I may or may have not skipped - do they just say "We are the Junimos", or there's more to it?). After that, when you go to sleep, you get to see them actually fixing them, and they are ready to use.

[frostshotgg]

@Wiles: You may just need to sleep. You get a cutscene the night after you finish it.

On another note: Save the trash you get, at least the glasses and cds. You can apparently recycle them into refined quartz, which I'm told you need to make upgraded sprinklers.

The newest update seems to have made a new bug that gives you duplicate tools. It checks if you have tools and then gives you one if you don't have it, even if it is being upgraded at Clint's shop.

[Ozyton]

It's not so much a bug as it is an oversight. If you're upgrading a tool you have to quit the game after saving then load the save, then the duplicate tool won't be there. THis would be useful for watering cans, but getting it back out of your inventory could be a pain...

I want to upgrade my watering can but I also want to water my crops...

Duplicate tools sound silly. I'm also curious about "Exploding armchairs" and "Leah's doppelganger" that were fixed.

I got married, my waifu helps me around the farm these days:

Yeah, it was along journey to those 10 hearts, lots of fun cutscenes.. a short public marriage ceremony.. but now we share a nice sized house, and she baked me some pancakes, so its pretty cool.

Some of the fish are absolutely brutal. I've spent over an hour save scumming trying to catch a pufferfish. Tuna are pretty hard, but pufferfish are just ridiculous. I'm close to giving up and saying you need a level 3 rod with tackle to make them even possible.

You pretty much do. I like that you can't catch all kinds of fish with a crappy rod. You can if you're super skilled or lucky (I got the pufferfish with lvl2 rod) but to guarantee an ability to catch lots of them you need the appropriate skill level and equip.

Not sure about the doppelganger, but if you placed a blue armchair in your house it would turn into a bomb.

Spoiler: Just found (click to show/hide)

Grandpa's grave. There was a note on it: "Await my return on the dawn of your 3rd year."

Sounds like a time limit for the game.

That sounds !!FUN!!.

The duplicate tools are really silly, but all you have to do is dump them on a chest so it won't happen again.

And I didn't see anyone mention this, but isn't it funny how no one can enter in the hippie* hipster's (Elliot) beach house, and how he keeps saying he has to water his plants, on how there are mushroom ornaments on his door during fall? Town's so advanced it got itself a drug producer/dealer.

[Sappho]

Hmm... Maybe it's worth making friends with Elliot after all...

[Ozyton]

I just realized something about the forager skill mentioned earlier. Do you think by wood being worth 50% more it actually means you gather 50% more wood?
E: Actually, probably not, that would actually be useful.

So for someone who enjoyed the older handheld harvest moon games is this game worth it?

Definitely. The game is heavily inspired by Back to Nature from the SNES which the GBA Friends of Mineral Town was a remake of, and also draws from many of the other early HM games. It also draws in elements of the Rune Factory games like combat. It feels like an improved version of Friends of Mineral Town with better writing and gameplay.

EDIT: In other news, just under 25000 people are playing Stardew right now on Steam. Taking into account GoG as well, I think ConcernedApe did pretty well for his first game. Good for him.
