A lot of these are super nit-picky but I thought it would be fun just to throw out some ideas! I love Stardew so much and these are just some suggestions I have come up with while playing. Some of them are very small details, some might be larger additions.
Here is the list of suggestions:
-Rain music/thunderstorm music/(snow music?)
-An infinite hay silo for endgame cost ~2-12,000,000 gold
-Different levels of silos that hold different amounts of hay
-Ability to access furniture obtained from the museum/elsewhere from the furniture catalogue
-More furniture, more wood types!
-More vanity items for outdoors
-firepit, fountain, etc.
-more (outdoor) floors
-a grassy/flowery floor
-A farmers market, maybe every Saturday, in the flower dance area during spring, summer, and fall! Maybe could have special vendors with new, obscure, exclusive or quality items or animals.
-Fleshed out characters, I know this is a VERY requested topic and is the only thing in the game that seems a little underdeveloped.
-maybe this would be difficult but more player/npc dialogue? It’s always seemed a little awkward when the npcs are just saying stuff and the player has no way to respond. Yes, I know there’s heart events but still
-some other way to gain significant friendship besides giving gifts (Ex. engaging in dialogue for a while). Friendships seem a little forced when you just give them gifts the whole time.
-Fix bugs in which npcs will reference things that are not still true (Ex. Penny saying she still lives in a trailer after upgrading it, Emily saying she isn’t in the desert while she is)
-Junimo land or something, perhaps as an Easter egg?
-An achievement or something else besides the home junimo kart thing for beating junimo kart
-Also fixes to glowshroom grotto, I cannot get past 6 small pink mushrooms in a row even with 7 lives - not sure it’s possible
-This might entail more frequent checkpoint lanterns in the level or preventing more than 3 small pink mushrooms spawning in a row
-Cutscenes with the players parent
-Not really my idea but a player birthday (that you can set on character creation), where you receive more/better gifts the more hearts you have with ppl
-Fixes to the awkward wording that appears frequently on the bulletin board
-also making dialogue specific for gifts
-Different dialogue for Gil after you complete all of the monster eradication goals, something like “Nice work, kid. The Valley is much safer thanks to you.”
-Changed cursor after rummaging through a trash can (similar to petting animals)
-Not sure if it was intentional for the player to dance the flower dance differently every year but it is quite frustrating, not sure how this could change but maybe like it could be a heart event with Haley and she teaches you the dance, and then every year subsequently that you choose to dance you will wear the same outfit as the rest of the people and dance normally
-A place (maybe in inventory menu?) to keep yourself organized and note down what tasks you have to do in-game. My reasoning for this is that I usually always use the notes app especially in spring year 1 to keep track of the things I have to do and I would love if there was a way to just keep some notes in game without having to use an outside app.
-This is just my opinion on other people’s ideas, which is adding a hard mode to the game. Personally I think there should not be a harder mode, and if you want to make it harder for yourself you can reduce the profits. I think adding a hard mode would make the game competitive, and having the game be mostly non-competitive is one of my favorite parts of the game.
-A way to add decorative nature items on your farm after you destroy them, like larger trees, stumps, rocks, logs, bushes etc.
-A way to speed up the aging time for fruit trees, it takes SO LONG to get iridium fruit trees. Maybe it could take 2 years instead of 3? I almost never end up getting entirely iridium trees because it takes too long.
-A cutscene with all the forest creatures! Maybe there is a special order by someone mysterious and then when you go to the secret forest there is a cutscene with the bear and hat mouse and junimos and other animals we encounter.
-Add at least one more loved item for Pierre. Fried calamari is too hard to come by. It makes me hate Pierre even more
-More variation in skull cavern floors! I would love to see bug floors, water floors (w/ special fishing), quicksand floors (quicksand can slow you down), etc.
-The ability to paint buildings lighter colors? Was there a purpose to not being able to have light colored houses? Is there a way and I’m missing it?
-A way to clean up Shane’s room in your house (heart event?)
-A way to play junimo kart/journey of the prairie king in a co-op farm without time passing so quickly. It’s basically impossible to complete junimo kart by 2 am in a co-op.
-Again this is not my idea, but I think Shane should run the animal shop on Mondays and Tuesdays once the community center is fixed
-A recipe to make banana bread (Banana, sugar, wheat flour, egg?)
Thanks for making it to the end of my list! I have been working on this list for a long time and I will definitely add to it as I continue to play this absolutely amazing game. Let me know what you think about these suggestions, I would love some feedback! :)
