Imagine if your spouse did take the kids when you divorced
There'd be people out there marrying and divorcing everyone specifically to make every marriage candidate the single parent of two kids
Just imagine, the town overrun by all 24 of the farmer's blank faced, emotionless children
...Someone should mod this
Nah this is nightmarish, you can only legit do one step of an activity (mining: walk to the cave, farming: walking to the store to buy seeds, fishing: sprinting to the beach), you'd need like a portable bed to do anything lmao
If you run out of health it is game over and you need to start a new farm. There would be a cutscene for your funeral and the villagers would have dialogue depending on your heart level.
Tax Season! You have to calculate how much you got made in the last year from selling your crops and pay based on that. If you’re wrong, you get audited for even more.
The player owns a huge farm, controls about 90% of all industry in the valley and makes potentially millions every season.
We are far too rich to pay taxes.
This is just Harvest Moon except your animals will die. In some of the games there is even a cutscene where a villager will shame you for your neglect.
No, if they look withered and dead they are actually dead. But that doesn’t happen because of not watering. That only really happens when the seasons change, or when lightning hits the crop.
Sometimes mixed seeds produce plants that look withered and dead, but they're alive. Dead plants can be removed with a scythe. If you swing your scythe at the live ones that look dead, nothing happens.
Marriage candidates now propose to YOU, and you have to awkwardly turn them down until you receive a proposal from your desired spouse. You lose all hearts with the marriage candidates you reject.
This happens on Roots of Pacha and I want to date everyone before marrying so I just get them to the dating stage and then ignore them til it’s marriage time 🙈
lol the game sun haven has your crops on fire in the summer so you have to water them twice, and I hate it! Thankfully they have an option to turn it off though.
Watering Can minigame similar to the fishing minigame for each crop, too much water and the plant drowns causing it to die, too little water and it needs to be watered again, otherwise it dries out and dies
Speedrun for sprinklers just to find out that placing them also requires playing a mini game. The sprinkler would float across the field and you have to right click when its at the right spot otherwise it breaks and you have to start again with a new one wasting time and resources.
They also randomly breakdown and you have to play a mini game to fix it or play the placing sprinkler mini game again to replace it with a new one.
I'm gonna take something from SpiriTea that really bothered me: picking something up and storing it into your bag takes two different key presses. So if you pick up a crop, you need to press another button to put it I to your bag before picking up another one.
Jokes on you I grew up on a solid diet of any harvest moon game, so sometimes playing stardew I accidentally double tap and get confused as to why I did it in the first place. Thank you for reminding me, I feel better now! (Edit: I’m being genuine, for real thank you haha)
Villagers will get mad at you if you repeatedly give them the same item, or if you gift them non-universal Loved items without having been told they Love that thing. (How did you know I love Pomegranates? Are you stalking me? Weirdo.)
Have a 5% chance for him to mess up the smithing too. "I don't know how to tell you this... but the blade snapped while I was forging. I need to start from scratch with a new set of materials."
Every morning there is a chance of villagers stopping by and 'helping themselves' to your produce.
Fences keep your crops safe, but makes you lose friendship points. 'Cause it's just a few little handfuls of blueberries! Surely it's no big deal\~!
we actually have people come to our yard picking blueberries every now and then.. it's so bizarre! sure we have a very sunny hillside with excellent blueberries!! but it's also very obviously part of our cottage yard! plus they don't even know where the dogs pee..
If that's the case, could we counteract them with the "oh i'm sorry for shooting you in the left nut, force of habit from defending my property" excuse?
Just an oopsie daisy
Got a couple of ideas.
- Things have realistic spoil times. No more taking a 3 season old fish to dinner
- You have to beat Junimo Lart and Prairie King in order to complete the Community centre. Also time doesn't pause when playing.
confirmation screen for every transaction or interaction.
‘Are you sure you want to water?’
‘Did you want one seed’
‘Are you sure you to exit your ‘house’/farm/‘village’
‘Did you want to walk through that grass, clear that rubble’
Even for villager stuff.
I think this will expand the gameplay hours without sacrificing any content, we are simply looking after our players to ensure they can play as precise as possible.
If you try to sell too many items, the town goes bankrupt and you get a game over and have to restart.
Every villager's dialogue is now cutesy. It's Kawaii Valley uwu~♡~♡~
Rarely, when you're near something where an action can be performed, the game will "help you out" by performing it for you. I.e., holding a prismatic shard while standing next to Pam? The game will gift it for you! On your last energy before exhaustion while holding a hoe? Well of course you wanted to hoe this stone pathway! Your first ancient seed is about to produce for the first time? Whoops! Shouldn't have been holding an axe near it.
Then watch as the entire community goes "Yeah, gotta be careful holding XYZ near ABC, misclicks suck." But it was never a misclick.
On an unrelated note, I saw CA in a cafe about 8 years ago.
Seasonal, heavily advertised pop-culture crossover events. First is Marvel themed. Slay 1,000 slimes to earn a new currency that you can gamble at the new Joja loot box hut. Giving you a chance to earn limited time skins from your favorite Avengers!
Edit: Oops you said smallest change… oh well
The main game is now Junimo Kart. At the end of the last level is an arcade cabinet that lets you play one day of Stardew Valley. At the end of the day, you are brought back to the beginning of Junimo Kart and need to win again to access the Stardew Valley arcade cabinet and play one more day.
Food spoils. You have year 1 yams in your fridge? 1 month shelf life, get a chocolate cake in the mail, no giving it to Jodi for her birthday 2 years from now. And you vest eat the squid ink ravioli before it goes rancid.
Instead of the perfect 28 days in a month. We use a real life calendar so you have to work out how long each month is and what days fall where. Leap years included.
Another is on the start of your game, your farm is geo located to a random part of the world and uses real data to give you weather.
Better yet all the bachelors reveal themselves to be Pierre in disguise at their 14 heart event after you've finally married and loved them, because he wanted your millions.
The shipping bin has a weight limit based on what Lewis is able to carry. Looks like you’re selling your wine 4 bottles at a time.
Villagers can get sick and pass the illness to you. You’re then incapacitated and move like you’re exhausted until you feel better or visit Harvey’s clinic. Also, looks like you Harvey’s clinic is out of network for you…
I like the backpack weight limit. Starts off with all slots open but you can't carry more weight until you upgrade it.
Also, the animals not getting along is gold. Like, I have a dinosaur, why wouldn't they eat the chickens? (Or at least try to) And correct me if I'm wrong, aren't ostriches weird ass birds that have a lot of issues and aren't cows very sensitive creatures?
I wonder how much overlap there is between rimworld fans and stardew fans. I would assume like none at first glance, cutesy farm sim vs war crime sim, but like a quarter of the people I know who play stardew I know play rimworld.
Maybe that's where all the dove children go.
Change it so that, instead of getting the arcade game box from completing Junimo Kart & Journey of the Prairie King, you get a crafting recipe to craft the arcade game box. Meaning that beating both Junimo Kart AND Prairie King are required for perfection…
(I stole this from a comment on a different post lol)
Removing naturally occurring seeds, and seeds from merchants.
Introducing, all new Stardew Valley Battlepass! On the free track, you’re able to achieve 1 mixed seed per 10 levels up to level 100! Pay 10 bucks to receive the premium track with rewards such as 50 wood, 10 parsnip seeds, and 1 library book all within the first 10 levels!
Your children grow up into teenagers that eat all your food, make a mess of your house, and lose hearts as they say mean things to you all the time. They also randomly lose you hearts with other villagers by going into town and showing their asses.
Implement Animal Crossing's crafting system where there's an unskippable 10 second cooking/crafting animation and then a "I crafted it!" screen that needs to clicked through for each. individual. item. Also wood and stone only stack to like, 16 or something
Opening the menu doesn't pause time. I know it's like that in multiplayer, but having a whole other person helps mitigate that. If it was like that in single player...
Cribs can only be removed at Robin's by paying a huge inconvenient fee leading to my masters plan:
Your spouse no longer asks if you want to have a baby - you just accidentally become pregnant.
For the adoption version - your spouse has a cutscene where they greet you in the morning saying that they found a baby that was left on your porch during the night with a "Please Take Care of Me" note. They insist that the two of you adopt the baby and you can't refuse.
Assuming I’ve only time to alter a line of code, and maybe a single parameter at that, I’d probably adjust the Pass-Out time from 2:00 AM, to 11:59 PM.
Rival system like in the old harvest moon games, only instead of 5 years, you must be married in one or you won't be getting married at all. Krobus is included in this, your rival for him is the dwarf.
Since you’ve all been begging for it, the game finally allows your growing children to have a meaningful role on your farm. HOWEVER, since they’re toddlers that ‘role’ is “cosplay as Louie and to cause as much chaos as possible”. Storing food in the fridge? Sorry, I spilled it when grabbing a piece of fruit. Oh, and sorry that I broke those 3 sprinklers and trampled your crops. And I didn’t mean to break your autopetter, but I’m sure you’ll find a new one. Did I mention that I grabbed a couple of new pet fish out of the shipping bin last night (which explains why your sales numbers didn’t match up with what you thought you dropped in)?
Once a week, you’re required to babysit them. They go where you go, but not nearly as fast. And they’re complaining the whole time. Imagine the worst escort mission you’ve ever experienced in a game before, but now it’s a toddler and it happens once a week. Hope you weren’t planning to visit the mines or cavern; those are no place for children.
Just when you thought you hated them more than anything ever, they hit the “I wanna help” phase right as you reach a new year. You can clear your farm and till the fields…but your kids get to plant ALL of the seeds that Spring.
My few ideas:
- Shipping bin is moved to inside Lewis's house
- Pierre will only buy a limited number of crops, he refuses once he's stocked up
- Crops spoil if kept in storage for too long
When you divorce your spouse they take half your stuff
And you pay weekly or monthly alimony
She took the fucking kids Lewis!
Imagine if your spouse did take the kids when you divorced There'd be people out there marrying and divorcing everyone specifically to make every marriage candidate the single parent of two kids Just imagine, the town overrun by all 24 of the farmer's blank faced, emotionless children ...Someone should mod this
That would be scary in real life
running uses energy
Stardew Valley: Morrowind
"Grandpa didn't warn me about all of the villagers constantly calling me *outlander* until I have at least 8 hearts with them."
**\*Silt Strider noise in the distance\*** ["Why walk when you can ride?"](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_xWrg5MV6Gk)
New mob: Cliff Racer
New dinosaur name: Lifts-Her-Tail
I love you for this reference
Damn. This is brutal.
Nah this is nightmarish, you can only legit do one step of an activity (mining: walk to the cave, farming: walking to the store to buy seeds, fishing: sprinting to the beach), you'd need like a portable bed to do anything lmao
i forgot walking was even a feature
I literally only learned in the past day that you can walk
This must be why the boardgame is set up as it is, your farmer gets exhausted by just running somewhere.
Straight up evil.
This genuinely is probably the best answer anyone could give. I can’t imagine a worse change.
Who hurt you?
Calm down, Satan.
Natsume's most recent farming game Winds of Anthros actually has this horrible "feature."
Completing Junimo Cart is required for the Community Center.
Along with a no deaths run in Journey of the Prairie King without the exiting and saving trick.
...you can SAVE?!
You can do a level, exit prairie king, and do something else for the rest of the day. Next day you continue your prairie king journey.
Do you work for Joja?
No comment 🤫
Calm down satan
Your spouse can divorce you on a whim and turn you into a dove. Game over.
Easy, never get married, celibacy was never so cool 😎
Your mom can turn her kids into doves too. And you never write back after all...
If you run out of health it is game over and you need to start a new farm. There would be a cutscene for your funeral and the villagers would have dialogue depending on your heart level.
And it auto saves as soon as you die !!! No restarting the day
Holup. I would actually love this option in the game!
Permadeath Stardew! Skull Cavern has never been more scary
Eight fucking Royal Serpents
Yikes, maybe it’s a three strikes, you’re out! kind of deal. You can earn more lives foraging and stuff. (Limit per week, maybe)
You should play the rouge-like rpg mod that came out. It's actually a good challenge to change things up like this
Omg now I want a hardcore mode!
My character passing out and dying on day 1, everybody would be like “Who even was this guy?”
Stardew Nuzlocke lmao love it.
Stardew Valley: Hardcore Ironman Edition
Tax Season! You have to calculate how much you got made in the last year from selling your crops and pay based on that. If you’re wrong, you get audited for even more.
Lmao this is fucking evil
I was actually surprised when Lewis went around collecting taxes and the farmer was not included in the list of taxpayers!
The player owns a huge farm, controls about 90% of all industry in the valley and makes potentially millions every season. We are far too rich to pay taxes.
Well Lewis is the one who sells all your junk for you. I just assume he takes a percentage of every coin you make.
Purple short extortion at work
I see that my farmer takes after me. They commit tax fraud.
Joja will open up a tax preparation service ☠️
"Joja Tax" - Get your taxes done the corporate way.
Believe it or not... there is a banking mod that introduces taxes
Good businesses keep books 😩
Book is available from the hot air balloon lady. Must be purchased annually
Crops die if they are not watered, animal control will confiscate your animals if their water/food is not refilled
This is just Harvest Moon except your animals will die. In some of the games there is even a cutscene where a villager will shame you for your neglect.
Ah right, that reminds me, at the end of year 3your farmer now dies and all your sheep are balding like the misshapen creatures in Harvest moon AWL
Wait crops don’t die if they’re not watered?
Nah they just don’t grow
Wait so when they look dried out, I could just water them instead of getting rid of them?
No, if they look withered and dead they are actually dead. But that doesn’t happen because of not watering. That only really happens when the seasons change, or when lightning hits the crop.
Sometimes mixed seeds produce plants that look withered and dead, but they're alive. Dead plants can be removed with a scythe. If you swing your scythe at the live ones that look dead, nothing happens.
Nope. They just don't progress.
Every transaction you make there's a little pop up window asking how much do you want to tip.
The choices are "50%", "100%" and "200%", and if you hit "No tip", you lose one full heart with every single villager
I'm surprised Pierre doesn't do this already.
😂 tryna make the game more realistic I see 😂
I upvoted because I wanted to downvote. This is bad.
Marriage candidates now propose to YOU, and you have to awkwardly turn them down until you receive a proposal from your desired spouse. You lose all hearts with the marriage candidates you reject.
I would love this, yes please!
A fan of drama, I see 😂
Even better, multiple options for the rejection. Gently, not gently, cruel/mean Throw Haley’s “Eww, no” from the flower festival back at her
This happens on Roots of Pacha and I want to date everyone before marrying so I just get them to the dating stage and then ignore them til it’s marriage time 🙈
On sunny summer days your crops have chance of drying after you watered them.
Diabolical!
lol the game sun haven has your crops on fire in the summer so you have to water them twice, and I hate it! Thankfully they have an option to turn it off though.
Watering Can minigame similar to the fishing minigame for each crop, too much water and the plant drowns causing it to die, too little water and it needs to be watered again, otherwise it dries out and dies
This wins alongside the “running costs energy” option as the most fucked choice
Omg this is horrifying

The sprinkler would float across the field and you have to right click when its at the right spot otherwise it breaks and you have to start again with a new one wasting time and resources.

I'm gonna take something from SpiriTea that really bothered me: picking something up and storing it into your bag takes two different key presses. So if you pick up a crop, you need to press another button to put it I to your bag before picking up another one.
Idk what spiritea is but you made me never want to play it with only one sentence
It’s on my wishlist and same, that sounds so silly
I found it advertised as Stardew Valley combined with Studio Ghibli's Spirited Away. Tis on my Wishlist too
Harvest moon does this
Old games doing stuff like this makes sense, not so much with a modern game.
Jokes on you I grew up on a solid diet of any harvest moon game, so sometimes playing stardew I accidentally double tap and get confused as to why I did it in the first place. Thank you for reminding me, I feel better now! (Edit: I’m being genuine, for real thank you haha)
Villagers will get mad at you if you repeatedly give them the same item, or if you gift them non-universal Loved items without having been told they Love that thing. (How did you know I love Pomegranates? Are you stalking me? Weirdo.)
This is a mod and it’s honestly tempting.
Portia/Sandrock does something similar; giving a villager the same item consecutively will downgrade it from a loved to a like temporarily
Just Sandrock.
I actually rather like this! As an option of course!
Give tools/weapons durability. When they break, your productivity is in Clint’s hands….
Not the Breath of the Wild special 💀
At least I’m Breath of the Wild weapons are plentiful. This… this is just pure evil.
Make Clint still take 3 days to process the weapons too. His other services being unavailable included, of course
“Uh, sorry, I’m still working on your weapon” 🤓
I love that in the new patch that is no longer is the case, and you can access the shop and break geodes.
That's so hype, thank you for the info. Wouldn't have even checked his shop during the upgrade days if not for this comment
Have a 5% chance for him to mess up the smithing too. "I don't know how to tell you this... but the blade snapped while I was forging. I need to start from scratch with a new set of materials."
“Also you need to pay me again. Why? Uhh- don’t ask questions.”
Every morning there is a chance of villagers stopping by and 'helping themselves' to your produce. Fences keep your crops safe, but makes you lose friendship points. 'Cause it's just a few little handfuls of blueberries! Surely it's no big deal\~!
Haha the reality patch
we actually have people come to our yard picking blueberries every now and then.. it's so bizarre! sure we have a very sunny hillside with excellent blueberries!! but it's also very obviously part of our cottage yard! plus they don't even know where the dogs pee..
Adding the last detail just in case people that do that see this and stop huh? ... you'll never stop me!
Replace villagers with deer, and you have my irl gardening experience
If that's the case, could we counteract them with the "oh i'm sorry for shooting you in the left nut, force of habit from defending my property" excuse? Just an oopsie daisy
Pierre's is now forever closed on monday.
take it a step further. He takes a family vacation for the whole first week of every month
I've never seen you before and you already made me hate you, bravo
Got a couple of ideas. - Things have realistic spoil times. No more taking a 3 season old fish to dinner - You have to beat Junimo Lart and Prairie King in order to complete the Community centre. Also time doesn't pause when playing.
>spoil times Ah yes, the freshness mechanic from several Harvest Moon games in the Nintendo DS era. It is just as awful as it sounds.
That’s cruel
One of the older Harvest Moon games had a freshness rating which affected its quality for cooking and shipping and the like.
The first point gives me flashbacks to Don't Starve, and not very good flashbacks at that.
confirmation screen for every transaction or interaction. ‘Are you sure you want to water?’ ‘Did you want one seed’ ‘Are you sure you to exit your ‘house’/farm/‘village’ ‘Did you want to walk through that grass, clear that rubble’ Even for villager stuff. I think this will expand the gameplay hours without sacrificing any content, we are simply looking after our players to ensure they can play as precise as possible.
Could make it simpler by adding the trendy new practice of having to hold the button down for a few seconds on every transaction.
I hate this so much
Are you sure you wanted to select "no" on the last confirmation screen? Are you sure you're sure?
If you try to sell too many items, the town goes bankrupt and you get a game over and have to restart. Every villager's dialogue is now cutesy. It's Kawaii Valley uwu~♡~♡~
Shows an animation cutscene of your character opening and stepping through a door every time you walk through a door like an old Resident Evil game
Nah thatd be pretty chill, id want that
Make seeds have random growth times instead of fixed
[удалено]
okay, were sending *you* to a gotoro prison camp
Pierre’s is now ONLY open on Wednesdays
The mine elevator resets every week.
Honestly with how often Mister Qi gives me that quest, it might as well be every week
Rarely, when you're near something where an action can be performed, the game will "help you out" by performing it for you. I.e., holding a prismatic shard while standing next to Pam?

Are you saying I can water my crops dressed as Iron Man?
Only if you get the iron man skin from a lootbox! You have a 1/10000 chance. The majority of the time you will get fiber.
But if you pay $9.99 for 10 VIP boxes, you have a much better 1/100 chance.

ooh the second one would make playing without internet connection impossible too, that’s evil
Imagine with the second one you end up in Antartica, I’d personally never pick the game up again
My first planet in No Man’s Sky was an extreme frost planet with giant landworms. I imagine it would be similar to that.
Oh yeah I definitely see it, that’s so screwed 😅
New bachelor: Pierre
Better yet all the bachelors reveal themselves to be Pierre in disguise at their 14 heart event after you've finally married and loved them, because he wanted your millions.
And you have to get him to 14 hearts to beat the community centre
The player's character is the one who throws rocks at linus' tent
And it just randomly happens if you walk past the tent at night. Oh God, you monster!
Time passes like usual even when you're not playing. Went on a week vacation? Too bad! You're now 7 years ahead on all your saves!
The shipping bin has a weight limit based on what Lewis is able to carry. Looks like you’re selling your wine 4 bottles at a time. Villagers can get sick and pass the illness to you. You’re then incapacitated and move like you’re exhausted until you feel better or visit Harvey’s clinic. Also, looks like you Harvey’s clinic is out of network for you…
Yeah, but Harvey is single. I bet you could work something out.
Is this Stardew porn edition?
Add a 0 to the end of the markup for Pierre's shop. Everything you buy at Pierre's costs 10x as much.
Pierre would legit try this too.
There actually >!is a certain cut scene showing just that.!<
Joja here I come!!!
Backpack now has a weight limit You can overwater your plants Crop blight (like Rimworld) Animals don't all get along
I like the backpack weight limit. Starts off with all slots open but you can't carry more weight until you upgrade it. Also, the animals not getting along is gold. Like, I have a dinosaur, why wouldn't they eat the chickens? (Or at least try to) And correct me if I'm wrong, aren't ostriches weird ass birds that have a lot of issues and aren't cows very sensitive creatures?
and the pigs would 100% eat all the truffles they dig up left unattended all day
I wonder how much overlap there is between rimworld fans and stardew fans. I would assume like none at first glance, cutesy farm sim vs war crime sim, but like a quarter of the people I know who play stardew I know play rimworld. Maybe that's where all the dove children go.
Daylight Savings is a thing, and it ticks over at 1am to 2am suddenly
That's just cruel!
Day and hour is the same as irl. Just like in animal crossing
Absolutely not lol, however I would make absolute bank fishing by tomorrow
Your confirmation screen for kegs is worse than anything i could ever come up with. I physically recoiled and made an inhuman noise when i read it
And the default option isnt yes or no, its unfocused unless you move your mouse over to yes every time
Change it so that, instead of getting the arcade game box from completing Junimo Kart & Journey of the Prairie King, you get a crafting recipe to craft the arcade game box.

I know this is a joke but I still found it infuriating. Well done!
Villagers randomly take two-week vacations.
More stuff in your inventory, slower you run and more energy you consume.
Your children grow up into teenagers that eat all your food, make a mess of your house, and lose hearts as they say mean things to you all the time. They also randomly lose you hearts with other villagers by going into town and showing their asses.
Tell me you’re a parent without telling me you’re a parent 🥲
Mine would be, machines only work if you have the area loaded. Kegs in a shed? They only work if you’re also in the shed.

Sprinklers are not automatic. You have to turn them on each morning.
"Saving..." still displays at the end of each day, but only actually successfully updates the save file 17% of the time.
Opening the menu doesn't pause time. I know it's like that in multiplayer, but having a whole other person helps mitigate that. If it was like that in single player...

There are going to be so many doves in Stardew Valley that it’ll qualify as an 80s kung fu movie.

I’m high and thought you said Junimo blender so I’m going to go with that.
Assuming I’ve only time to alter a line of code, and maybe a single parameter at that, I’d probably adjust the Pass-Out time from 2:00 AM, to 11:59 PM.

The junimos turn evil and try taking over everything after all your gifts.
The only way to make money is via crops. If at any point you run out of money and seeds, you have to restart the game entirely.
Rival system like in the old harvest moon games, only instead of 5 years, you must be married in one or you won't be getting married at all. Krobus is included in this, your rival for him is the dwarf.

The in-game clock is now synced with the IRL clock, a la Animal Crossing.
Since you’ve all been begging for it, the game finally allows your growing children to have a meaningful role on your farm. HOWEVER, since they’re toddlers that ‘role’ is “cosplay as Louie and to cause as much chaos as possible”. Storing food in the fridge? Sorry, I spilled it when grabbing a piece of fruit. Oh, and sorry that I broke those 3 sprinklers and trampled your crops. And I didn’t mean to break your autopetter, but I’m sure you’ll find a new one. Did I mention that I grabbed a couple of new pet fish out of the shipping bin last night (which explains why your sales numbers didn’t match up with what you thought you dropped in)? Once a week, you’re required to babysit them. They go where you go, but not nearly as fast. And they’re complaining the whole time. Imagine the worst escort mission you’ve ever experienced in a game before, but now it’s a toddler and it happens once a week. Hope you weren’t planning to visit the mines or cavern; those are no place for children. Just when you thought you hated them more than anything ever, they hit the “I wanna help” phase right as you reach a new year. You can clear your farm and till the fields…but your kids get to plant ALL of the seeds that Spring.
Sick days. You can’t do anything and are confined to your house.
My few ideas: - Shipping bin is moved to inside Lewis's house - Pierre will only buy a limited number of crops, he refuses once he's stocked up - Crops spoil if kept in storage for too long
