It’s a mod, available on Nexus. Adds a ton of content, like practically doubles the length of the game
Good. I always thought the game lacked content and was a little on the short side.
There was also a ton of content added in relatively recent official updates
I think the previous poster might not have been being serious.
I think so too.
If you’re playing on pc, just look up the mod and try the additional mod “grandpas map” as well! After around 1,500h in SV it feels like a new game with those two mods installed. Cannot recommend it enough!
And if sdv expanded isn’t enough there are two other big ones, ridgeside village and east scarp
Absolutely ridiculous numbers of npcs and story. Just watch out as not all farm layout mods will be compatible with everything.

Stardew Valley is on switch though? It’s also on gog.com which is preferable anyway. No launcher required.

You can get a computer which can run Steam the low-spec library for less than $100 if you get a very common used office computer. I’ve seen as low as $50 for a functional machine only a few years old. Most likely it could run most puzzle games.

I’m not sure what you’re saying here … 1.6 is an upcoming full game update for Stardew that will add even more content, which he was simultaneously developing with Haunted Chocolatier. They are a very small independent operation, and game development takes more time the fewer employees you have. The fact that they have continued improving the game for 7 years adding free content at the original price point is actually quite remarkable.
The 1.6 update addresses the ability to create add-ons (mods) more easily, which will aid efforts in the modding community to create things like Expanded with less fussing about in third party programs and tools which currently allow them to work.
Fr. The only other game that comes close is Terraria. Both have only improved as the years have gone by.
Wish SV was my cup of tea.
Don’t Starve and Don’t Starve Together also. Been getting updates for years.
Right, forgot about that one. Never played it.
In Roguelikes and Roguelike-adjenct games there are also a few games that get close. (I’d even argue some totally eclipse SV/Terraria in that regard, but that depends on your definition.) Some, but not all, of them are even completely free and open source.
Off the top of my head, a few examples would include Dwarf Fortress, UnReal World and Nethack. Maybe some Space Station 13 servers if you count that too.
If you’re in to that, check out Clan Lord. It’s been running since ‘99 with monthly updates.

He still working on SV ? I thought he said he stopped to work full time on HC. Guess I’ve been out of the SV loop for too long. I should get back to it sometime soon. I’m getting tired of the same shooter and adventure games all the time and I need to return to the cozy life of SV.

This is not a nice way to talk to people. Please try to be more kind to others going forward.
Fuck you.
Enjoy your tiny bit of power.
this is a good way to get banned from the instance. take 2 weeks off
Color me surprised you found yourself on the lemmyverse but don’t feel confident to install a mod. Not a dig! Just unexpected.
HC is coming out eventually though, not sure why it “obviously” isn’t?
What makes you think Haunted Chocolatier will never come?
Some people seem to think that 3 years (from when AAA companies normally drop their first teaser until release) is the full game development lifecycle duration, and anything past that must be abandoned.
Shit, Katana Zero took 6 years to develop, and it’s “just” pixel art, but it came out fantastic. You just never know either way.
The impatience of Man
I want part 2 like, yesterday. It’s such a good game, I’d play it day 1 no question.

There is literally only one person developing SDV and Haunted Chocolatier. This is literally an impossible statement. There is only ConcernedApe, and he has not announced any cancelation.
One of the guys who was working on it
There’s only one person working on it: Eric Barone.

Do you have an article or something that says that? Everything I can find does not mention anyone else working on the game.

I wouldn’t put much stock in hearsay. ConcernedApe has always been relatively quiet about what he is up to, even with Stardew.
So you’re full of crap, got it
You were not getting excited over nothing; if you can figure out how to download steam, how to purchase a game with it, and how to open and play it, installing a mod isn’t that much harder. Download some files, put them in the right folder, open the game.
Also, to piggyback onto your comment. Stardew valley without mods is still a very enjoyable game. I had about 300 hours in the game before I installed my first mod. There’s a lot of great quality of life ones, but out of the box it’s still phenomenal.
To add to this;
The first time I played SDV was right after the death of a family member. It provided me with an insane amount of comfort.
Every time I find myself loading it up I look at my life and realize I need the peace. It’s an insanely positive influence in my life.

I promise you it’s dead simple to install if you wanna check it out. ModDrop is probably the easiest installation route, just follow the instructions in that link and you’ll be set up!
