CA keeping with tradition, 1.7 will get a new farm!

[goboking]

I have two ideas.

Swamp Farm - There is little ground firm enough to support farm buildings, but crops retain water an extra day when watered and all soil counts as irrigated for the purposes of rice, taro root, etc.

Desert Farm - Any crop (including cactus fruit) can be grown in any season, and coconuts can be planted to grow palm trees. There's a dig site similar to the one on Ginger Island where bone and clay nodes spawn. Artifact spots appear more frequently and the artifact pool is expanded to include those obtained in Calico Desert.

But wouldn't the desert farm make the Green house and Ginger Island completely useless?

Do I smell a communist pig? What poor soul won't choose Joja over the wrinkly and smelly community center? In all seriousness tho I'm a Joja guy and there not as bad as there portrayed. CA really wants us to hate em but I personally think there not that bad. At least Morris isn't that bad. The guy takes money but he gets stuff done.

they charge more money

It would, that's why there should be some balance mechanics that would restrict access to some crops or make farming/watering more difficult. The same way the sprinklers in beach farm do not work in the sand, which happens to cover most of the tillable area.

Swamp or desert maps are already among mods. Challenge farms can have permanent winter for example. For base game farm map making very specific map like desert or swamp would not fit - unless the game also added additional features revolving around sun/heat and water/swamp.

Desert farms tend can have permanent summer, but with no sprinklers ;)

Well, if the tradition continues, there may be a new item or mechanic and the new farm would incorporate it in some way.

Existing farms have no real limitations outside Beach farm, and even that is good for non-crop activities. The more specific the new farm is, the more customization features should be added overall to make farm types have more impact (not just the new one).

Yeah, sorry for the incomplete pitch. I originally thought stamina consumption could be increased when performing tasks on the farm during summer. Then I realized how much players would hate this, so I'd instead go with limited area for sprinklers, similar to the beach farm.

Console players will find it difficult to mod the game.

Or Dessert!

Haunted Chocolatier map.

Haunted Chocolatier map.

Though I would love that, I think it would require extra thinking to make it blend smoothly into Stardew Valley. There are many "cross games extra features" that are most of the time blatant advertising, rather than a true feature mixing two great games.

Bringing the most popular feature/mini-content mods into the game is overall a good idea, while in this case, I would just want it to be a full experience package (not just a map but some features around it / crossing with other farm maps, and gameplay in general).

a warehouse farm. your entire farm is replaced by a 180000sqft Joja Corp Warehouse. You do 0 farming and you spend your days Sending and Receiving Packages

The halfway point between that and Stardew is My Time at Portia.

Ooh that sounds so pretty! I imagine it would be very green, somewhat secret-woods-esque.
