[@Phirestar]

Not gonna lie, the limited seed stocks sounds pretty legit. I’m always up for making Stardew Valley have more stuff like that. Not necessarily making the game “harder”, per say, but rather making it to where you have to play more thoughtfully and make strategic decisions with your money. That leads to the game being much more engaging to play, at least in my eyes. It’s why I’m now using Longevity’s tax and price fluctuation features in my own playthroughs. To add to this idea, there could milestones for expanding the shop’s supply. Have the first shop expansion be a secondary unlock for completing the Vault bundle, and then another one when you complete the Community Center entirely and run Joja out of town (because who else will they be selling to besides Pierre, at that point?). Alternatively, if you side with Joja instead, then completing the warehouse could unlock an infinite stock at Joja Mart, or something like that.

[@AkemiStormBorn]

I also used to think it's weird that you live and practically run a farming business in Pelican town but don't pay taxes to the Mayor or the Governor. I asked my dad about it, and at least where I live, farming isn't considered 'business' and so farming income isn't taxed. To put it simply, farmers, even rich farmers, straight up don't pay taxes. So Mayor Lewis taking taxes from the farmer in this mod is basically him doing something illegal.

[@Jack-kx5rf]

I heard that CA intended Walleye to be caught between 12am-2am so you'd only have 2 in-game hours to catch them but coded it wrong so we got 12pm-2am. I think the reason he never fixed it is because they already have a low bite rate and only appear in rain so only having 2 hours is brutal for getting them. Not sure how true that is but in real life walleyes are very sensitive to light so it's rare to find one until a couple hours after sunset, you only really find them in the early hours of the morning. If you take a photo of a caght walleye with the flash on then their eyes shine up like light bulbs.

Alternatively, they have an annoying pattern but basic sprinklers may be for u just to limit the shear amount of watering😭😭
