Is everyone just holding it in?

[Marcell]

So,

I just had a realization. I've played until the Egg Festival of Year Two thus far. I have noticed, no characters house I have been in, or my own house, has a washroom in it, or at least the majority.

So given this, how is waste management handled? Is everyone just holding it in and constantly constipated?

I mean, there's gotta be some way.

Kitchen has a sink. As for bath-house, you get access to one, eventually.

Our farmer likes staying dirty, doing manual labor all day long, only to collapse at bed late at night; with clothes on!

 

[Slimeglasses]

Well... There ARE a lot of bushes, so...

Linus clearly uses Nature's freely provided privacy services and washing up areas, so maybe everyone else also does but they're prudish enough to do so when you're not looking.

But maybe it's all a matter of perspective. No not seeing things from someone else's point of view (though that's a good thing!). I mean all the bathrooms are on the South side of the buildings so we can never see the doors from our perspective, and the rooms don't end up being rendered in for privacy reasons. That would explain why I can never find Emily in the house and then at 10pm she appears out of nowhere to run to bed, avoiding any and all evening conversation or even a hug.

This is plausible. I mean, there's a sewer system that is plumbed to the houses. Krobus tells us this.

on the topic of holding it in, is anyone else gonna do no poop November? its usually no poop July, but November works better for me. and it rolls off the tongue better

I'd argue it's probably something like this, there is a sewer system after all, though it's radioactivity and monsters living within it doesn't exactly speak wonders for its maintenance, we do have Lewis setting world record low bars for competence at the same time however, can't exactly expect much.

It's a little bit "censored", but do you really want to know what all that trash you fish up is? And why some of turns into coal after you recycle it?

 

[pinga]

my 7 y.o been wondering and asking why there r no bathroom as well lmao.

I used to play Virtual Families by Last Day Of Work, which had bathrooms. Managing everyone's toileting, bathing, hand washing, toothbrushing, turns into a large portion of the game. Stardew Valley isn't the same kind of game. If your farmer was always having to potty imagine how that would mess things up! Trying to catch that pufferfish for Demetrius before 4pm but gotta run to Willy's and beg to use his bog? Level 98 in skull cavern at 1:30 am and have to run to Sandy's? Want to give Haley a sunflower in time for the flower dance but she's always in the toilet? I don't see how it would even work!

Yeah I'm completely fine not having to manage going to the bathroom and actually washing my stardew character? They're digging in the dirt half the time they're fiiiineee....

But seriously, stardew is an escape for most people, helps not to have to manage all the little things that slowly wear away at you in real life like going to work, all the little hiccups throughout the day, coming home to the breakfast dishes, etc.

Girls don't poop

 

[Slimeglasses]

Girls don't poop

Um. What?

 

[MogBeoulve]

If I want to deal with bathrooms, I load up a sims game. Then I wind up giving them rewards so they have to poop less often. Look, the bathroom is mostly decorative in my game, okay? I gotta spend my time wisely to pet all those bunnies.

This is why you carry a hoe. Go in the diggable spots. Just make sure you clear out any duggies first.

I feel pretty confident that in the Village, Robin has installed backflow preventers in the houses, and that the Farmer has a septic tank at first, but your first house upgrade includes a connection to the municipal sewers. In either case, there is no passable connection between the bug lair and a toilet.

It could just all fall from the roof which is just grossing me out thinking about it, poor gross radioactive carp

Exactly and my sims don’t even make it to the bathroom half of the time.

Are you making them an outhouse or something? Geez

It's usually that they'll pick exactly one toilet to use, and then have routing issues actually getting there.
