Community Wishlist for 1.7 Update

[Basu]

1. Starting a new game
I’d like to have better options for blond hair for the player character. It often looks slightly green, and it’s not possible to get the same blond color that Haley has.
I’d also like the option to directly type in the number you want instead of having to scroll between 1 and 99.
Additionally, I’d prefer the “Back” button to be smaller or the “OK” button to be bigger. I often finally feel comfortable with my character, only to accidentally click “Back” instead of “OK,” which forces me to start all over again.

2. Advanced options for later playthroughs
I think it would be great to have more advanced game options for later playthroughs. Remixed Bundles are fun, so maybe there could be other interesting variations as well.
Personally, I’d love a hard bundle mode. In this mode, you would have to complete all bundles, including the remixed ones.
To make it even more challenging, all possible items for a bundle could be required, not just a reduced selection (for example, the Exotic Foraging Bundle would require all 9 items).
Joja’s alternative could involve higher costs per community development project which now can be implemented with the lower profit margin.

3. Additional Junimo content
I’d also like the Junimos to move to the Secret Woods after you finish the secret bundle. There, they could ask you to complete additional bundles for them if you want to.
I imagine this as seasonal bundles, giving you something specific to work toward each season. These could be a bit more challenging, such as growing a giant cauliflower or completing other special tasks.

they should let us carry our babies/kids around! It would be so adorable

Here's an idea, what about adding some small boardgames that are public domain to share with people while playing online, tic tac toe, maybe chess, i dont know if thats too much work but only with chess you add up almost inifinite hours to the game and i really love chess.

More kids. The vanilla game has all these adults and so few kids. There should be more kids.

I would add, on a functional level, a better way to buy items in bulk on console. I recently lost a whole day in a co-op save buying wood for kegs!

I would also like true perfection noted somehow on the save file load screen. Maybe a stardrop icon?

And it would be great to have a record of what in-game day / season / year the farmer reached true perfection on each save.

I would love to see new fish and minerals to find in 1.7 but I also think a Bank of Stardew would be cool and great addition. You can save up for large items and tuck away money into an a count so you don't spend, maybe even get a little interest (but not so much you can just retire but reward financially prudent players), and conversely a system for taking loans that you can pay back with interest. For instance I found myself on spring 24 without the money to get the first rarecrow so I take a loan for $2,500 and end up having to pay back 4 or 5 grand for my lack of financial planning. You could have do dates on payments and penalties maybe even including repo animals and structures for failure to pay bills. Maybe your money could even go negative.

I feel like this could open up so much for the game adding money management having different accounts and ways to separate monies and gain interest or repay loans. I think it would have so many new and cool dynamics to the game. That being said, I have played the game 1700+ hours, reached 100% five times all and haven't tired of it yet.

This is just a small one to use up Mixed Flower Seeds which are great for planting in early game to save buying all the flower seeds but not so useful in mid to late game. Fiber Seeds recipe could be expanded to use either Mixed Seeds or Mixed Flower Seeds.

Yeah, none of those are even close to on my wishlist for the update, except the farm upgrade. Mostly ascetic crap that does nothing.


Why would people wish for asetics that simply change how they look, instead of functionality, or gameplay????

Maybe players could play against an NPC in the Community Center. Even just some simple games could be fun and you can win a fun prize like for the egg hunt.
