New Content Ideas - Own and Operate a Store - Bug Catching, Collecting

[West Coast Cruiser]

Wanted to know what some of your ideas where that you want to see implemented the most. Mine have always been being able to own and operate a store that you can sell your product and items scavenged. Another would be adding a bug net to catch bugs and being able to keep them in a cage. What are yours?

I would love to see bug catching in Stardew. It's my favorite part of the Doraemon: Story of Seasons games. Listening to all the different kinds of cicadas, catching all the gorgeous moths and butterflies. I could see it fitting in with the game well. Like a sentient frog in the Secret Woods that collects bugs, and gives you rewards similar to how Gunther does.

An idea I've always thought would be neat is like a bounty system, for monsters in the mines and caverns. Marlon would have a list of what they were and where to find them, and then you'd just go to that floor and fight them. They'd be somewhat difficult, but have chances to drop unique loot.

Build outside farm? More main story content, even if only miniscule and for immersion purposes? Some new dungeon? More romance options? Crossover with Terraria? More uses for Lewis' pants? Making NPCs divorce, so you can marry their spouse (something like a reverse friendship system with negative points, for the ones affected)? Sell your empire to buy a luxurious mansion in Zuzu City option? Become a Joja shareholder and receive income without breaking a sweat? Become the new president in Lewis' position and micromanage the entire community, or even the Governor of the region himself? Play in a movie that the movie theater is going to feature (like Shane's commercial on Joja cola with Clint, Emily and us)? C.A. appear in game briefly and have some screen time with the player?

What I would really love is a expansion use for the Community Center. While it's fun completing it, I think it could be more. In the game, Stardew Valley's economy is weak pre-CC and people be mentioning that the town is pretty isolated, so maybe after completing it could become a tourist attraction where people from Zuzu City could actually visit us, the Stardew Valley could be like a rawmats hub. It wouldn't be just the farmer buying resources from Robin or Clint, others from Zuzu City as well. The farmer's crops would be sold too and we'd be able to adjust the prices for the big city. The small businesses in the town would be booming. It would feel like we actually helped the small town. Then maybe add some new job opportunities for the townfolk too.

There could be new quests too, like orders from Zuzu City and introduce new NPCs and mechanics.

It doesn't have to effect the farmer's normal progression of the game, maybe just show some new sprites walking around the town or buying at Pierre's or something, or being able to visit Zuzu City.

And Zuzu City will be unlocked, our Spouse could have jobs too. Like Sam working at TV network or Shane becoming a Joja manager in the city, and they wouldn't just be walking around farmhouse and we can visit them at work.

It would need a Joja route alt tho. It would be something like that except Joja would make the town like a factory or something with same new things except joja themed.

This is just how I imagine the town would be after completing CC lol

You should be able to build on Ginger Island (with higher costs).
You should also be able to build a 2nd greenhouse / upgrade greenhouse (lvl 0 - 12x10, lvl 1 - 20x16, lvl 2 - double decked - lower deck like lvl 2, upper deck with 12x10)

Also you should add a bounty system similar to that in GTA, which increases (1 star = 100 bounty level) if:
Your or your animal's name is set to contain item codes (permanent 0.5 star)
You throw rocks from slingshot at others (+5 bounty)
You try to chop down trees in town (+25 bounty)
You hit the door tiles of closed shops with tools (+0.5 stars)
The more bounty, the slower the increase of love of gifting, less luck, more negative comments, and later there should be a police by Mr. Qi that hunts you and if you get caught, you pass out like if you glitch yourself to the summit despite unfinished perfection tracker.
