That's a great idea, would make the game so much more interesting

reading this makes me sooo excited for all the new mods in about 2/3 years, especially with the upcoming update dedicated to bette rmod support + the rising popularity of the game itself

I know Stardew is very unrealistic but having a real economy like if you sell a ton of wine one day then the prices drop the next it would be more fun maybe as an option while starting a new save

And seed/livestock prices should fluctuate. It might take a bit of work to balance crops for their respective growth cycles, but yes this would make the game come alive, every season every playthrough would feel different.

I think that a simple version of supply and demand could work. Let’s say that you sell a couple hundred star fruit jelly on season. Then maybe for the next two months or so the price could go down so it would not be profitable to sell star fruit jelly anymore. But as a result maybe the price for the star fruit seeds would also go Down because it’s not in as high demand anymore. If a system like that was applied to all crops and processed products then it would give you a insensitive to switch up what you do and maybe even save products so you can sell them later when the price is higher. Combined with a stock like price fluctuation on a weekly basis and I think that this system could actually be really good for replay-ability. Add random events that as you said could be a new Chanel on the TV that might at a somewhat random interval make specific products/produce ether skyrocket in value or plummet in value for a random time between 1 to 3 weeks or something like that. And I think this system could actually make the game really interesting for repeat play throughs.

lies, slander, and overall just untrue

You just got called out

Sean saying “Wait No! Women! Tuesday!

I don’t what does he mean?

@@applepies4259 most of the women get together and exercise on Pierre’s shop every Tuesday

The fact that Seanie's gf is named Tuesday makes this funnier

I’m going with b

Same, cuz 110 is PATHETIC for something that harvests once a week. If the rarity wasn't changed, it should be something like 225g.

@@captaindemozan2700 Agreed, but I do think Seanie really hit the nail on the head when he guessed the mod maker did it so that people wouldn't fall back to the old ancient fruit strat

Because everyone has already played Stardew with ancient fruit as their endgame strat. This forces you to do something different. (But also their rarity is irrelevant once you have a seedmaker)

Yeah, I think I feel the same way. Like I absolutely avoid the mines at all cost so maybe it would make me more likely to go there? But it also buffed fishing which is something I already do, so why would I go to the mines? I think it's interesting to mess around with when you're bored with the normal game, but calling it "balancing" isn't really true.

@@myownbravado you straight up can't call it balanced when an ancient fruit that's hard to find and takes 28 days to even mature produces fruit that sells for the same amount as melons do. And esp when starfruit loses you money. If anything this made stardew even more grindy which isn't a good thing. All the best farming options were nerfed into the ground and I don't wanna hear any "well farming was op so it needed to be nerfed" it's a FARMING SIMULATOR. Imagine the shock when I boot up a farming simulator and wanna farm and not fight for my life in caves

@@justmob9917 Me when farming is required in a farming simulator 😨

@@justmob9917 What do you mean that there's farming in my farming game? This will not do!

I always think balanced thing should just make people be more subjective about which crops they picks because it doesn't really matter if they end up all the same price. As for example, some people prefer to have more money each day than more money each week. Although We need to some thing to make people do variety of thing also known as "diversify" like some people talk in the comments section. I personally think ancient sed is nerfed way too hard, You could just make it like 250g and end it like that. Also I think we need to account for growth. Lot of thing will end up unnecessary because we are at the end game. As an example, Clay farming basically became worthless at the end of the game. I think of adding a substitute for Ancient Seed. (Let's just buff sweet gem berry to be similar to Ancient Seeds)

this joke is 10x more funny when you consider... sean's gf... is named tuesday...

I love that I immediately knew what he meant by those 4 words

I don’t get it

@@applepies4259 a lot of the stardew valley moms/women go to workout together so robin wouldn’t be at her shop :)

@@murrVNC ohh okay

If it's any star quality it would be more than the seed tho right?

@@mossymindful Except that just makes it way to endgame.

Thats just a dumb nerf ngl

i used to do this before i got good enough at fishing to catch the catfish on my own at level 1-2! i've recommended this method to a lot of my friends who play as well.

On my first save file I didn't get my fishing rod until mid spring and I didn't start fishing for a while. The first time I fished was in the river and I got a catfish as well. I didn't think it was anything too remarkable. Since then I have done the same thing in another save file. I'm sure plenty of people don't know this, but to me it's just an everyday fact.

Possibly because the the game is balanced around first time players, not people who know the way the game works inside-out. Ofc the game is broken if you always know exactly how you're going to spend the next two days to maximize gains, and the same could be said for the entire season, except for some small rng elements like rain.
