I'd definitely be interested in being able to expand your farm somehow late in the game :)
If 1.5 only added one new feature, what would you want it to be?

I wouldn't mind getting more background on some of the characters, finding out more about who they are and where they came from. Like in my head, I've decided that Shane is Jas's biological father. That he donated his Shane Juice so that his best friends, her parents, could have a child. They made him Godfather in appreciation. But then they were killed and he now has Jas and isn't sure how to tell her that he's her father or sure that she deserves that kind of burden. Yeah, I get way too into this game at times. I've also decided that Linus is actually the "Joja" of "Joja Cola" and no one knows he started the whole thing and then fled when it became soulless.

I'd agree with the dagger being trash and the slingshot being difficult to learn how to use (Min/maxers of the game got it nerfed in 1.4.1 for it being stupidly OP with explosive ammo) and I do think a weapons rebalance should be a thing but hammers are by far the best weapon type. most people are unaware but they have a quirk with it's special ability that allows for multiple hits during the animation by spamming the primary attack. with a fast enough trigger finger most enemies can be 1 combo. Did I also mention it's an AOE attack. Not a bug/glitch CA addressed it in the 1.4.1 patch notes referred to as "club slam repeat quirk " which fixed bugs surrounding it.
Also an example of it:

Something to tickle your brain with: In game development and design, more of X does not exactly equate to "more content". If a crop is added, and its just a different sprite with a different growth cycle, it's not exactly memorable.
Now consider the new rice crop. You can grow this as an irrigated crop, or a non-irrigated crop. The growth cycle is lessened by the irrigation. In addition, you don't have to maintain it. And on top of that, you harvest it and then can throw it into the Mill. This reinforces the use of a Mill as it generates an existing item that's used for cooking: Rice.
Don't get me wrong though, if more of X adds variations to your decision making and how you play the game, then it truly is adding more. Otherwise, less can be more

What I would love to see in 1.5, in no particular order.
Cooking Skill and Minigame
It would be cool if Cooking was an actual skill and I'd enjoy it a great deal more if there was a minigame involved. The miningame could determined the quality of the dish (basic, silver star, gold star, iridiuim star).
Bug Collecting
Give us a net and let us collect bugs (which could be displayed in the museum). Fireflies could be out during summer nights, grasshoppers could be in tall grass, dragon flies near water, bees near flowers, beetles could be in trees, etc.
New Area to Explore
I'd love to explore a bayou with new plants, forageables, and freshwater fish. But really, I'd be happy with any new map to explore.
Tropical Farm
A beach farm would be amazing. It could have a significantly reduced farming area, but could offer beach forageables, saltwater fishing, and allow us to grow palm trees.
Stardew Valley Tribune subscriptions
I hate having to run to Pierre's every day to check for quests. I'd happily pay to subscribe to the Stardew Valley Tribune if it listed daily quests in a Help Wanted section. It could also review festivals, report on things like meteor strikes or UFO sightings, and feature interviews with Pelican Town citizens in which they flesh out a bit of their backstory and give hints about their liked/loved gifts.

I want more customization/decoration stuff. I want to decorate the greenhouse with tea tables and such, and also to be able to have doors instead of fences.

The tribune idea is great. I hope concernedape will consider it.

To be able to move buildings from your farm I guess, that you don't have to go to Robin everytime.

I think the thing I would love the most would be some sort of progress on the town and villagers as the years roll by. Something like rival marriages and children, breakups and divorces, new people coming into town and other leaving, new buildings, etc. This way everything would seem more alive.

Thank you for your reply but I would like to politely disagree. Linus has complained a few times about his tent getting destroyed or things thrown at it by kids etc. The trailer wouldn't change his free way of life at all but would be more secure and warmer.
It could give him a character arc of humility in accepting it even though he usually doesn't like being seen as charity as it is for him a life choice. Also it would be a nice way of the community accepting and showing affection for Linus when he has always felt cast out by them.

I'm a PS4 player and have noticed that PC players do get some perks over console players. An example I think is a bit unfair is that they can access the community centre boards in their menu screen and also the achievements too when PS4 players can't. These screens are useful to gameplay, can they please be included to PS4 and other consoles too?

That's cool, i understand you, i just love to see news sprites in the game they are beautiful, just excited for the next update!Something to tickle your brain with: In game development and design, more of X does not exactly equate to "more content".
