I currently only have a bad laptop but can play sdv on it, over steam
but in like 5 or 6 days my news pc arrives and I dont want to start again
can I move my current farm over or is the game saved in steam or anything like that?
You can move save files between PCs or even PC and mobile
Info is on the same webpage linked above
wait how do you back up a save folder-
There is a folder called Saves, inside there is a folder called e.g. PlayerName_632763428
Copy the entire PlayerName_632763428 folder and paste it somewhere else on your computer like desktop - that's ur backup
okay
That way if your attempts to fix end up making it worse, you can put it back the way it was
okay, that makes sense
when moving need I also a save?
No problem! Yeah I dunno how saves get screwed up like that, but I've seen it happen before

when moving need I also a save?
do i need one? @willow elm
I don't understand? You copy the save folder and put it in the same spot on your new computer, that's all
my game doesnt have an input invite code button
What platform are you on?
how do you install mods on android
does anyone know why i can only see invite code on my slower wifi and not on my faster one?
🤔 not sure. Is the person you're trying to multiplayer with local or no?
no
@burnt bloom there's actually something in the pins in this channel about that exact issue--could you take a look at the questions and give Magically Clueless#9046 a ping?
hm ok thanks!
it's something a number of people have been experiencing lately
ah ok!
do any of you use a custom mods path? like launching through "multiplayer" shortcut rather than through steam or the SMAPI app?
Me and my friend made a coop today.
He's currently offline and i wanna play
any way he can send me the safe file or something?
so i can play with him offline
If he's the host of a multi-player world, you'd have to wait for him to log on i believe
:p
even if he sent you the save file, if you used it you would play as his character and not yours
dang
There are ways to switch host and farmhand of a save, but they are buggy - certainly not good for regular use switching back and forth 
That just sounds like corrupted save files
Someone made a script to swap the xml data around
Though... could definitely be used somewhere else 
Anyway, it's usually best just to have a solo game of your own to play when not in co-op
YEAH
caps
alright so another support thing
went onto twitch to see just what mods there were
scan now it finds nothing
locate game when i select C:\Users\pirat\AppData\Roaming\StardewValley it says unsupported
Nexus is where we get our mods-
Home/.local/steam/steamapps/stardewvalley
I think
At least for me
Common is in there somewhere
nexus or moddrop, yeah, most SDV mods aren't on twitch--but this is a question for #archived-modded-support, you'll get more help there @weak dust
yes i am big eye
i can see all channels with my smart brain that actually looks
lmao

Hi, I just got this Tea Set as a gift, and I can't seem to put it anywhere, can anybody help?
#stardew-valley or #stardew-spoilers question, Maxfield!

How do I plant hops?

Ok

hi i have the game but its not showing up in steam
You bought it on steam? 🤔
im guessing its not possible to play the same save file on 2 computers without having to transfer the save file every time i want to switch pc?
copy the save file
then it should work i think
im guessing its not possible to play the same save file on 2 computers without having to transfer the save file every time i want to switch pc?
@visual harbor
My situation is, i have a desktop and a laptop. So sometimes being the lazy human, we want to game on the laptop on the bed which i cant do on desktop. But it will be a hassle to copy here and there everytime. I guess there is no way
@visual harbor you can probably do it with some sort of file sync service like Dropbox, but I don't know the exact details of setting it up
Is the thing with naming your farm or player and item I’d (for example [434] being player name) and getting that item (a stardrop in this instance) when somebody specifically says your name intentional?
Yeah
Ok, wanna make sure I’m not exploiting
Well, not intentional no
It's a glitch, but CApe decided to leave it in because it's kinda funny, and hard to do accidentally lol
@dawn ferry yes i have it. I thought save files are on pc not sync? or am i wrong?
It would be considered an exploit or cheat in most speedrunning circles, for example
This glitch has been patched out on console systems because Nintendo made a stink about it lol
Lol
This glitch has been patched out on console systems because Nintendo made a stink about it lol
@willow elm no wonder when i had a switch it didnt work
Also, my friend got it for free (idk how, he didn’t say) but it doesn’t have a co-op button, would anybody know the reason of that?
You need to connect through Steam or GOG to use co-op
If he didn't buy it through one of those
If he pirated the game then that's why
@willow elm yea pirating a game like this is meanymeany
Maybe he didn’t connect it
Oh! Did he buy the Google Play store version in Chromebook?
That's the mobile version of the game. No co-op.
Maybe, I’ll ask
lol
You need Linux with Steam on Chromebook to run the PC version
Help!
I’m playing multiplayer and went in the woods with the syrup, I crashed halfway through the cutscene and my friend slept, I come back on, no bear paw in wallet and no syrup, I enter the woods and no cutscene plays
Check your wallet. As long as you got the wallet item, you're ok
Looks like a bear's paw
I didn’t get the wallet item though
This can be fixed with a save edit or a debug command. Do you use SMAPI?
Do you use any mods
No
Ok, then the fix will need to be done in the save file that is stored on your friend's computer
Before that though,
Did you try entering the woods again while holding another maple syrup, making sure it was before 7pm at night?
If not, try that first
Another thing I'm curious about - is the quest to bring the syrup still in your quest log or is it gone?
It’s gone
Mm I was afraid of that.
He’s doing something with the files rn
We can edit the save file in one of two ways:
- add the wallet item manually
or - remove the flag from eventsSeen and the secret note 23
Yeah don't change anything without making a backup first
Without.
You backed up whole folder first?
Yeah
Yeah the note shouldn't have changed
Ok
It'll be in collections
I'm just looking through the code, and I actually think that if you don't have the wallet item, it will trigger for you again as soon as you have another maple syrup.
Ok let’s try that
We’ll be back in like an hour if it doesn’t work, we only have 1 tap
We can do the save edit if it doesn't work, but if it does that's less risk and fuss 
Ok!
@willow elm thank you, it worked!
Hey. I visited Sophia (SVE) and it says I've been given a sprinkler, yet I can't find it in my inventory, reloaded 3 times and tried to enter with 0 items in my inventory, what can I do? That sprinker would've really come in handy
Every time i try to open up my Sdv game from steam i come up with this error message but when i go into the games folder and open it the game decides to work. How do i fix this?
are you using any mods?
No not yet
ehh, then i can't help ya, sorry
your best option is to wait for someone who can
the only thing i can do is mod support lol, so if the problem was because of the mod, then i could help
however, your problem is vanilla game,,
Ok i fixed it
I got this wood stuck in the wall. Is there anyway I can get it down without destroying the cabin. Note, I'm only on day 15.
Welp
oh sorry
@kindred mica if you were trying to set up mods when that problem started, it means what you pasted into steam options was probably missing a ".
Is there a limit on how high your energy bar goes?
Nope lol
See: any screenshot from someone who has cheated in dozens or hundreds of stardrops
Does it hit the top and start at the bottom again or just go off the screen?
off the screen
Do rarecrows despawn, break, or otherwise disappear on their own?
@willow elm I just wanted to let you know the bombs worked perfectly! It did indeed take 5 bombs but the tree is gone and I even got 4 wood out of the deal. Thanks so much!
@hexed apex I don't believe so, I've never had them disappear on their own while sitting on my farm.
Yeah I'm sure they just vibe until you yourself would break them
Thanks, I’m now confident my friend stole mine
Yup, they vibe
Yup they definitely snatched it
@hexed apex if there was debris (weeds, stone, or logs) near a rarecrow, it has a chance to spread and destroy it.
Ok, there wasnt, but thanks
@pallid bear if you do a sword glitch to get outside the house you should be able to get it
Idk where that is because it's so zoomed it
Okay thx
Do you know what that is?
They patched that on pc
You can't do it in the mine entrance, but thats it
Well I've done it plenty of times in 1.4
the patch notes said it wasn't possible ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I believe you I'm just saying
Hey guys, can I get a help about multiplayer here?
Or is this not the right place?
sure
i can help (:
so, this is my first time in multiplayer
I was trying to join someone on the other side of the world
I entered the invite code but then the game said connection failed
I can't figure out what's wrong
are you still in contact with them?
yes
so i put the code in the "LAN game" instead?
oh, no. i thought maybe you'd tried that by mistake
double check the code for zeros, Is and ones.
!mphelp
See this page for connection issues in multiplayer: https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Player_Guide/Troubleshooting#Can.27t_connect_to_another_player_in_multiplayer. (Applies to both vanilla and modded games; console players just check as many steps as you can!)
Also, since it's a fairly quick game to load, closing it and starting over is never a bad idea. Stardew can be a tiny bit finicky when you want to start multiplayer
if you're on steam, also consider clearing the game's cache
so, I tried to host a game to generate my own character
and suddenly my friend's farm is listed in the multiplayer list
is it possible that I can't join because I haven't setup my multiplayer character yet?
It is possible
you select the farm to join before making/selecting a character
ı have a stardew valley save file but it doesn't appear in the game, what should ı do?
Is there anyone there
is the save file unzipped and in the correct location?
also is it intact, with both files present? stardew valley saves consist of one file with most of the save, and a SaveGameInfo file with the rest
More information here https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Saves
The game saves progress when the in-game day ends, i.e., when the farmer goes to bed, collapses from exhaustion, or collapses at 2am. All progress during a day is lost if the player quits the game without ending the day. In multiplayer, the game saves after all players click t...
My GF and i are married in the game. However recently, her character has been waking up (even though she slept at the main house) in the small cabin that was allocated to her at the start of the game and not the main house. Why is this so? Before this, she has been waking up in the main house.
Does this happen even when you both make it to bed in the main house before 2am, and not just when you're loading the savefile for a new play session?
let me do more testing
thanks. i think its from the passing out
yup that would do it
hello what gives item stowing for controller?
So I'm a newbie at playing SV and talking to people on Discord on VC at the same time. Currently I get the sounds from the VC through my headset but the game sounds go through my pc's speakers. How do I fix this?
so im in a co-op right and it isnt hosted by me
Don't ask here
?
This isn't for asking for save file editing help
Um, it is though?
(As long as it's not a modded savefile. We help ppl with save edits here quite regularly)
It's not supposed to be,
It's supposed to be help with problems you encounter during playing the vanilla game,
Sure, If the save file editing is to fix one of those problems
But they wanted to do it for something else
It's not just problems - stuff like changing character gender or pet name, farm name, child name, difficulty modifier could all fit
But I don't know what they wanted to use it for so 🤷
It's supposed to be problems
It's supposed to be help with bugs & glitches loosing save files the game crashing etc. That's the point of the channel
Minerva herself has helped people here to edit their save file and switch gender. I don't know why you're gatekeeping like this.
If it's not for a modded game, and it's a technical issue that can be fixed, this channel is fine
You want to just ask someone because I'm quite sure save file editing is a problem to be discussed here
If it is then I'm sorry, I'm just quite sure it's not
Okay
save file editing for cheat purposes wouldn't go here, i agree, but like jonqora said there are lots of other reasons to do it and all of those reasons would be appropriate for this channel. there's no need to be rude and confrontational, if it turns out someone is in the wrong channel it's not hard to redirect them
Chi!
I think save file editing for purposes of things not related to a problem with in the game, and related to something you want to do personal that isnt correlated with support should be redirected elsewhere
Hey guys, good night. I'm having some problems with my Stardew Valley Expanded. I was playing for days in a Coop, but then a error start to happen everytime that I try to get in a Coop. Can you help me? I have no idea of what is causing this: https://smapi.io/log/092d8e6b9d4c4e25a6717c385100aa67
#archived-modded-support @ornate pawn
Vanilla game support only
I don’t think he gets it
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
they probably sent all the photos at once with the first message is all
also, i would much prefer if people came here with questions like "i came out as transgender and want to change my farmer's gender and name" than to one of the SDV discussion channels or something. people who check #vanilla-tech-support know how to edit a save quickly and easily for issues like that and people come here with those all the time.
if they go somewhere else they're gonna get someone telling them to use an outdated save editing program or never get an answer
So I'm a newbie at playing SV and talking to people on Discord on VC at the same time. Currently I get the sounds from the VC through my headset but the game sounds go through my pc's speakers. How do I fix this?
@rotund pelican Depend on what you want.
Go to your computer "Sound settings" then chose the output you want.
Everything on your headset or everything on your speakers.
To get on your "Sound settings" just go to the "Search" (if using windows, otherwise i dont know) and write it there.
Best wishes.
I disagree and don't think that that's a valid point
There just as likley to get help in other places other than here, epically with the fact that that isn't the the point of this channel
I don’t think he gets it
@hexed apex we dont. Can you help us? Or explain where we should go...
Go to #archived-modded-support for help if a stardew valley mod is broken
If you are using vanilla, then ask here
goodness this channel is a bit of a mess rn
No kidding
Mostly because of the debate vs
"Save file editing go here? Save file editing go not here?"
XD
the only save editing i did was for starbound lol
hey guys, for clarification in this channel, any technical question or request for assistance (such as save editing) is appropriate for this channel and they can ask for help in here
if anyone is asking for help in their game, they can confirm it isn't a modding issue, and the issues aren't caused by pirating, this is the place to do it
Okay!
Problem solved
I was wrong 
it's all good
Did anyone see whats wrong with the wishing minigame during fall
Ur character bugs out, the cursor shows when the fishing bar appears, and sometimes you get glitched where you cant cast
Or move

@peak osprey wait you can change your name and gender in the files?
how hard is that, and does it have any effects on gameplay
Use this guide to find your save files: https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Saves.
mostly you just need a program like notepad++ or sublime
i have no idea what that is
do i need to download anything, i dont want to do that or risk messing anything up
do you have windows? it's probably preinstalled if you do
ye
but if you want, you can find your save, zip it up, send it here and someone can make the changes you want
(i'm about to hop in an MP game but i could help more later on!)
i have notepad, not notepad++
hmm, it's a pretty small download if you want to grab it? it'll be unreadable in notepad unfortunately
well what exactly do i do to change my name, just write a new one, or do i have to copy paste a bunch of code stuff
where do you get notepad ++ btw?
just write a new one!
the format your save file is in, XML, isn't readable in regular notepad
oh cool
i think it's under farmerName or something similar, iirc the wiki page i linked might have a bit more info on where to find that stuff
you'll also want to change your name in the SaveGameInfo file, ignore the two files with _old at the end
yup
the wiki page has a nice trick you can do in sublime if you want to go that route, but you should be able to control F
so what do i control f
my name?
i found this <player><name>name<
its the actual name
i just dont want to send it here
lol
can i just change that? and thats it?
i dont want to mess anything up, so if not ill just leave it
lol
yup that's it!
it's right at the top
you also want to change it in the SaveGameInfo file, and in the save file name i believe
yeah you can just ctrl-S like normal!
you want to change the part between the <name> and </name> in the FarmerName_numbers file, the SaveGameInfo file, and save the FarmerName_numbers as NewName_numbers
besides old
that should fix it!
np! glad i could help
yep
is changing the gender same thing or more complicated
because if its more complicated i dont really care
lol
that seems more complicated because of text things
it's not too much more complicated but it is a little counterintuitive! you'd be looking for a field called isMale
it's true or false, so you can just change whichever one it is to the one you want it to be
there's also Gender Neutrality Mod if you use mods and prefer they/them pronouns!
so it would be <isMale>false</isMale> i think!
it's both again yeah
huh, like the actual physical file or the save isn't loading when you go to load into the game?
Use this guide to find your save files: https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Saves.
that's what it is, i forgot to mention that part
lmao
you can redo the gender thing, should work!
ok thanks
uh nope
wait
it made it new file
wtf
uh oh
was it suposed to do that
ok i undid rename
how do i rename it properly
pls
@peak osprey sorry to keep bothering you
how do i rename it without it making another one?
do i go into properties? i really dont want to mess this up
i mean i already did
you can try renaming the farmername_numbers_old file too?
oh
it should work if the folder name and save name match exactly though
how? hit the rename thing? or go into properties and change it
https://community.playstarbound.com/threads/missing-corrupt-save-file-troubleshooting-guide.112827/ there's also this guide
Chucklefish Forums
because hitting rename makes a new one
ohhh, i see your issue
i should be fine, i just dont know how to rename it
are you doing right click/rename? that should work afaik
that should work?
if it doesn't and is making a new empty one, you can try dragging or copying the save files into the new folder
well it has all the same stuff, its just a second one
is that fine?
i just need to know, is that how i rename it? or do i go into properties and rename it there?
if the files are in there and you open the game and the save shows up and works properly, then it should work!
oki
its still not there
tf did i do
god damnit
OH SHIT
i found it
it was <player><nameKylie</name>
i fucked it up
oops
lol
ohhh yup that'd do it! glad you figured it out
brackets are the cause of 90% of problems in this game lol
lol
letsa see
nope
lmao
let me check the others
ugh
why tf did i do this
welp
i just fucked up my old file
ima restart my computer
its still not there
bruh
theres no possible way this fucked up my other save file right?
i would be so pissed
can you make a zip of the folder and send it? i can take a look
it shouldn't have touched the other file nope
right click the folder and there should be something like "add to archive"
the folder like FarmerName_numbers for the save you're having trouble with
yes the folder with all 4 files in it!
"add to archive"
what
send to compressed zip folder?
zipped*
what if i just sgo through and undo everything
will that bring it back
this isnt worth it
this is really stressing me out
i changed everything back and its still gone
wtf
please
someone
Kylie I dunno how to help
However it'll work out somehow
I mean this is an old file that I never play on
But it's my first one and I don't want to delete it lol
O
I changed everything back
And it's still gone idk
Yeah all the brackets are fine and all the text is fine, it's just not showing up
Everything is exactly the same as before I touched it, why isn't it working
If you send it we can look
Send what
Your whole folder for the save
How do I send it
Add it to a zip archive and upload here in a discord message
Or okay, just send the files that say PlayerName_366373736 and SaveGameInfo separately then, if that's easier
(example name)
There's a ➕ icon in discord for adding a file to a message
It says this file name is not valid
What file are you trying to send?
Sure, that would help
Ok that will take a min
you cant like fully edit these can you?
like how does this work
i sure can - they're just messy-looking text files 😉
If you change something will it effect my game?
No right
It's just like sending it as a message right?
broke a wooden box while mining and a ring popped out but it glitched in the wall and I can't grab it is there any way I can reach it?
It will only affect your game if I send you back a changed file and you replace them with the changed ones
So, what were you originally trying to do anyway?
Change my name
I was following what someone told me to
And then it just got fucked
It just wouldn't show up in the menu
Ah yeah, I see
What do you want your name to be? I can change that too while I'm at it
Ok
so whats wrong with it? what exactly are you doing
I ran the game to see the error message that printed about it
It had a True somewhere in SaveGameInfo but needed true
Found that error, fixed it
Now I'm running again, it shows up
But new errors and crash when loading the save. Taking a look
Same thing again in the other file yup. Most stuff in code is case sensitive
alright so if i go through and change that will it be fine?
Loads fine now 😊
Yup. If you change the True to true in the SaveGameInfo file and the sean_127782406 file it will be fixed
I'm sorry you had such a stressful experience with this 😔
Tysm
It's backkkk
Omg ty
never touching that again
lmao
well i might... the name is lowercase and that bothers me
but not tonight
bye lol

Sounds like a plan haha 
@latent cape probably not, unless you get another or stronger magnet ring (but it'll be gone by the time you do)
sorry for disappearing! i must not have been clear that it needed to be lowercase i'm so sorry :(
would mobile be getting the same updates as other platforms? delayed, or if at all?
Delayed
Why does it occasionally say “the spreading weeds have caused damage to your farm” in the night, then nothing changes?
Honestly I want to know that as well-
I know that lightning can damage paths and stuff but this one still bugs me
It's maybe a small change somewhere you're not noticing? 🤔
Like I dunno, can spreading debris like logs destroy an acorn on the ground, would that count for it?
Hmm
Hm 
Still can't figure out why the audio for the Switch version is in mono
Is the audio in stereo on other platforms?
Anyone else experienced a bug where friends can't join on other maps (such as wilderness) even if the cabin count is set the same?
Like if I do the default, it works but if I use wilderness then it says "No available cabins"
Strange. Did you try both the near and far cabin placement options?
Alright on the nintendo switch version of stardew valley whenever I play online it constantly freezes, it's only this game and it happens if I'm online by myself offline doesnt freeze tho but playing with other people is fun
what do i do,i found a bug in the game,who i contact?

why the game dont have a own launcher?
Its got shortcuts though it launches through steam
a game like sdv doesn't really need a launcher anyways
SDV is partnered with Steam. Ape has been adamant about staying loyal to Steam- especially with a higher percentage of cuts from the game, the more it's bought.
Steam has helped drastically in it's popularity. That's why they don't have their own launcher😁
guys
Yes?
I don't see "invite friends" nor "send invite code" after reinstalling stardew. I have the steam version
:(
@obtuse crow what is your Steam name? Some people have gotten blocked by a word filter
Apart from that there are other troubleshooting steps on this page: https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Player_Guide/Troubleshooting
Scroll down to the part about can't connect in multiplayer
(like make sure you're loading the save in co-op/host mode, make sure you launched the game through Steam, disable antivirus, delete startup_preferences, and other things to check)
Including reinstalling XNA and .NET? (ppl tend to skip those especially, so I'm just checking)
yeah, almost everything
maybe it's because i have the game on ssd
i'll try to reinstall it to an old hdd
still nothing
welp
Check the pinned messages. There is someone collecting info about errors like this and yours might fit
Well, I contacted them
Ill try to let my friend host a new world as well
i formatted my hdd and it works
I emailed earlier but i thought id ask on here too, i tried to load my game after a few months and my computer froze and then blue screened i tried again and the same thing happened.I tried un-installing it but the same thing happened.
The game has worked on this laptop before so idk whats happened
any mods @pulsar valley?
nope i just play the base game
Well, I'm really not sure then - I'll point you to the troubleshooting guide for a start: https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Player_Guide/Troubleshooting
If you work through as many steps as you can and it's still happening, there's other stuff we can try to get more info.
ooh thank you for the link it says something about it
I'm on the same network as my friends, but can't figure out how to setup Co-Op?
I've sent them my IPV4
The troubleshooting guide linked above may help you too, there's a section on not being able to connect in multiplayer.
Nothing to help there.
The port is forwarded
I have it set to online, accepting ip connections
Sooo, im having trouble with my controller being recognized by Stardew. And only Stardew. Steam and other games recognize it
And google is no help
That's a pretty common problem, sadly. Mods?
Quite a few
So does anyone know if the devs/Eric barone based the music in this game on anything?
Not that I'm aware of (CA was the lone dev, Pod is now the second on the team), but you can always DM or email him to ask!
Ok. It sounds like the music in this kids show lol
which?
does anyone have suggestions Prismatic Shard
If you need help finding something in the game, #stardew-valley or #stardew-spoilers is the place to ask 🙂 this is for crashes, etc

My game crashes randomly, and I read somewhere that it could be a problem with my laptop having two graphics cards. I checked, and yes, I have an Intel(R) HD Graphics 530 card, and a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 card. Should I disable one of them, and if so, which one?
Any mods
Yeah hang on
i'm a user in china
and i got a Stardew gift in steam
but i cant get it
this comes out
does anyone knows what this is or like how to fix it?
Did the friend who sent it come from a different country @cyan zephyr ? If so because the price of the game changes per country it'll show that message, if you return it and she then buys a gift card to send then you should be able to buy it yourself
no
we are in the same country
i think it will work if another person what who dosent live in china (usa , korea or other contry) goes in my steam and accepts it it will work..
Well if you have time to wait I can test that later, though most people wouldn't want to do that. You can also check if you're both set to the same region because you can change that, if they're different then it's the same principal as before
Also does the game show up on the store page as buyable
I don't know how to change it but you can check in your store preferences

This is also happening to me, I was about to ask about it.
Yeah, me and my buds were planning on playing
yeah i was deco 1 of my sheds and it happened
(this is in multiplayer)
and earlier it also said up the top of my screen "Server Maintenance Will Start Now"
Oh, well then maybe its preparing for an update or sum. I guess we should just wait it out.
Uh, maybe because it ends at 5pm NZT ;-;
this isn't related to the problem i was having and unfortunately i can't help directly with this problem, i'm sorry ):
Oh ok its fine do you know if anyone else would know?
Dang, 5pm nzt, thats 12am cdt for me.
8:30pm rn
i would just wait to see if anyone has any idea here, but you might also have luck in the help & bug reports forum https://forums.stardewvalley.net/index.php?forums/help-bug-reports.12/
when does the maintenance end? my switch says 1 AM but im really hoping that isnt true
What time zone do you live in?
Atychi, time for me right now is 1:31pm and my maintenance ends at 5pm so it prop is true
Yeah im pretty sure it will end at 1am
ffffffffffffff
Yeah, big bummer
what is the maintenance for even
Maybe 1.5 o.O
Not sure, coulbe be fixing stuff
if it is that im not fussing
That too
i hope so too
Nintendo is doing server maintenance themselves I believe, since Animal Crossing received an update tonight. Please remember to keep chatter in a different channel too 🙂

hello so i got the game and i don't know why it doesn't support my controller on steam
Controller issues are pretty common, any mods?
with or without mods, same thing
honestly i wish it was just smapi at this point
Playing through steam means setting up the launch options for SMAPI. Launching directly from the exe to play vanilla bypasses the Steam interface. So if you have mods and are running through Steam, that's a SMAPI problem. Controller support doesn't work great bypassing Steam for some reason
oooh
(hence #archived-modded-support )
Yes i knew that already but, i am refering to cloud saves like in google play games
Only Steam and GOG have cloud saves to my knowledge
And only PC and mobile support cross platform, though not automatically
Though you need a client to play multiplayer unless on lan
Correct. Virtual LANs can bypass that, but those are not a preferred method
I hope one day a better multiplayer setup is a thing
Because I have sdv on linux on gog. Which means no gog galaxy
I know of at least one Linux user who plays co-op on Linux with Windows users
But not really a thing for here. Can always leave a suggestion on the forums~
I started playing sdv at my cousin's laptop on Thursday, the 1.3 version. now I want to buy the 1.5 version myself and use it on my laptop, but I've already done so much! is there a video on the subject? or maybe a more clear tutorial? I read the section about saves on the wiki but it still seems a bit foggy, even though it's clear what I have to do now.
Well, 1.5 isn't out yet, 1.4.5 is the current version. However, saves on previous versions will work fine on the latest version of the game. I'm not sure if anyone's made a video about it you could certainly search on youtube. It's really just using the wiki to find your current save, then copying the entire folder to your computer.
I meant 1.4! thanks, Odin. and I'll take a deeper look into it tomorrow (it's almost midnight where I am), since I'm waking up early just for playing stardew valley. thanks!
I basically don't know how to save and how to use it on a update. sdv is my first game, so I'm pretty much a noob.
Im looking for some help
Can I get it here
!ask
Feel free to ask your question or describe your issue here, and someone will help if they can :)
@small epoch the game auto saves. And you don't need to transfer saves when updating
so I just install the 1.4 version on top of this 1.3?
If its steam i believe it would just update 
It should tell you there's an update available
I've followed instructions on the wiki to transfer saves from my old android phone to my new Android phone. The old save folders and files are in the Stardew alley folder but when I open stardew then the load game screen says it can't find any games. Am I missing a step?
@thorny bolt can you share a screenshot from inside your Stardew Valley folder on the new device?
@thorny bolt hmm. Try renaming each file to remove the .dat at the end.
Bizarre, but it worked! Thank you!
Heeeyyy so
My game unexpectedly zoomed way way out
And I can't seem to fix it
Does anyone have any tips on how to fix it?
Google aint helping
any mods?
108 of them
It's not the mods
might be the .dat name
Hi, I'm getting an instant crash on launch. This was without smapi and any mods. I installed smapi and transferred all the mods from my laptop (stardew works fine there) onto my new pc and it seems somethings wrong with XNA 4.0 but I can't figure out the issue. Here's the game log if anyone can help me out: https://smapi.io/log/4d951a10c26149729ae4ed701bca0524
easiest solution is to backup the save files and make a clean reinstall
or if its a smapi problem reinstall smapi?
If you're running smapi at all, it's generally best for #archived-modded-support instead of here
I've reinstalled multiple times now and its the same crash
Aa okay thank you
I mean its crashing without smapi too
on a clean install
Hmm.
I used smapi to find the issue
Try reinstalling .NET Framework 4.5.2 and XNA Framework 4.0 (see https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Player_Guide/Troubleshooting#Game_doesn.27t_launch for links).
Thank you I'll try now, I may be back hahaha
(also best to disable all your mods temporarily for troubleshooting - rename the Mods folder to add a . in front)
will do, thanks!
Thanks for the help guys, turns out it couldn't run alongside rivatuner and msi afterburner, just in case anyone else comes across this problem
Yeah, that's a troubleshooting step on the wiki
are there new farmers in stardew valley ?
Wdym?
you mean new NPCs?
If so, gameplay stuff goes in #stardew-valley
Can anyone help with something? Always when I try to install the game on Steam, it just says the game is open, but it's not, and when I try to open it again, it starts installing itself once again, and it keeps happening. 
Try reinstalling .NET Framework 4.5.2 and XNA Framework 4.0 (see https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Player_Guide/Troubleshooting#Game_doesn.27t_launch for links).

If I downloaded stardew valley on another device (from steam aswell) is there a way to recover my other characters?
Or do the characters save from the steam account

Hello, I have a simple question. After I launched Stardew Valley through steam w/ SMAPI, I noticed in the console it says "[game] Oops! Steam achievements won't work because Steam isn't loaded. You can launch the game through Steam to fix that (see 'Part 2: Configure Steam' in the install guide for more info: https://smapi.io/install)." But I did everything correctly and steam runs fine. Is this normal?
can i play multiplayer through cracked sdv?
Why would you have cracked sdv??
im brokk
@urban tulip yes it is possible but only on LAN
so you need to literally be physically next to your buddy to play together
but hey, wait for a steam sale or borrow from your steam friend's library
May I please have some help finding the Stardew Valley appmanifest.
#old-rules @lapis topaz @urban tulip no piracy
@white gorge #archived-modded-support
when I load the game I comes up saying appmanifest error
That's new. Mods?
@ebon mango what did you try then? It helps if we know what you've done already
@fallen parrot you can suggest things on the official forums!
a ok thanks
Yep
I Hope we can use fixed community center, like, beside making our own clothes, we can make our own painting
Why is there mayo but not Ketchup in this game
I want Ketchup
It's my favorite condiment
Guys this isn't a chatting or suggestions chat, this is for help with your game if there's issues please keep chatter to the main chats
(Also PPJA adds ketchup XD)
I can't invite friends anymore on steam, I don't understand why?
Instead of this:
The two buttons "invite friend" and "show invite code" aren't there
And it says "online" or "offline" server mode, no "friends-only" option or any other option
Does anybody know how to fix it?
@peak isle I think this is the issue you were talking about?
Multiplayer worked normally just a few hours ago, I haven't changed my username on steam
unfortunately not, the issue i'm referring to is on the main menu screen when you create a co-op game or go to join one
there's this page that'll let you troubleshoot some issues, but other than that i have no idea, i'm sorry ): https://www.stardewvalley.net/multiplayer-troubleshooting-guide/
Okay, thank you!
no problem, i hope you can get back to enjoying multiplayer!
I got a weird message when I opened the game like "this game requires and in-game code that you can find below" or something like that. But when I tried to click on that, i couldn't. And by pressing alt+tab, it disappeared
It never appeared before so idk
I have met with all the villagers but for some reason it says 27/28 can someone help me out?
@covert crystal if you're on PC or mobile, would you be able to share your save file? I'm curious to dig through the data in it
Just the file called e.g. YourName_263732625 is enough
How would i do that im on mobile
On mobile, Stardew Valley's save method is based upon the system used for computers, but with some additions to make it more suited to mobile devices.
How do I get rid of these grids?
proabably be one of your mods vanilla stardew doesn't do that in settings
that's automate
the key is u

how are you connecting
wdym
lan, steam, etc
steam
try connecting through the steam app then maybe
yeah
Did you go through the guide?
Are you able to try from a different machine/network/with a different player?
idk, only have one network and one machine
Can you at least try with another player then? We try to narrow down where the problem seems to be coming from if we can by testing these things
like the buttons dont even show up
i posted a pic above
and apparently my join button also isnt there
What's your Steam name?
Hm. I don't imagine that would be blocked by the word filter, unless it's being overly cautious and thinks it's too close to the n-word?
You could try temporarily changing your Steam name anyway, see if it fixes anything, change it back if not
but i can play like rocket league fine
and invite people in it
do i still need to change it?
Stardew Valley has a game-specific word filter that affects Steam players
Yes, I'm aware your buttons are missing. This is a very very very common issue and we have steps to try and find the source that we ask everyone to do. We can't help if we can't try and find the cause of the buttons disappearing
gimme another player
CHANGING THE NAME WORKED
well ok
so the account name was swegros
but my nickname was just wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

@clever zodiac if you can submit a report about your issue (before and after, what you changed to fix it) it would be helpful for the game devs.
can u do it? i dont wana make an account
straight up the only thing i changed was my name
You need to so they can reach out to people if/when they make changes and see if the changes fix your problem
if you tell them that my name had like 50 ws in it, im sure they can recreate it
Your loss 🤷🏻♀️
does fishing on max range give any perks
It does, #stardew-valley or #stardew-spoilers can explain some of them! This is more for game bugs and crashes
oh sorry thanks

Is there a way to divert where the save file is saved? I want to have 2 copies of the game cos steam is constantly updated,
Basically I want steam to save on appdata as it is while the crack is on a different folder so my mods won't just stop working out of nowhere, doable?
Im new to modding so not sure, but assuming steam updates a lot mod will break?
Oh ok sorry
Well I officially have the game, just wanted a version that stays locked in to the current one for mods being safe, if its about mod, sorry still
#archived-modded-support can help you with mods. And do a google for backing up SDV 1.3 before 1.4 updated, I know Odin posted the process somewhere. No piracy needed >_>
Ahh i see, thank you so its about piracy. Yeah as I've said im new to modding on sdv so thats the first thought I had if the game updates = mod break
Thank you for showing the option havent read a lot yet
np
need some help figuring out some error I am getting, going back to an old farm to work on achievements and I have a room that is completely black, I don't think I had any mods installed but it might be
That room is from a mod, so definitely a mod problem. If you're not running the game with smapi then it might be an xnb mod.
i am having problem with the updated child to npc on forums.stardewvalley.net
So i wanted to load my previous save into multiplayer, and have found a way to do so. BUT my friend has a notorious way of duping on saves and ruining such saves, so i tried to copy the save into a seperate folder. when i try to load the save it just reloads the game. so i thought it might be because the character name is the same, so i went through all of the 4 .txt files for that save renaming the character to [previous name]2. but it still reloads the game. is there a way to duplicate a save sort of like a backup?
@vast folio #archived-modded-support
@golden carbon you can manually backup or install SMAPI for auto backups

Np
names were a joke so theres no way to have two of the same save?
cause it shows up but when i click the 2 one it just reloads the game

One question, whenever I am going to play stardew online, it keeps loading when I join a game and vice versa, the only way is with a vpn I HAVE THE ORIGINAL GAME
@night scaffold do you have any mods? how about the other people playing with you?
@peak osprey None of us have mods and we have both purchased on steam
is your nickname on steam very long, or does it have anything that a profanity filter might catch?
for example, we had someone yesterday whose steam name was fine, but the display/nickname was set to the same letter a bunch of times like "ffffffffffffffffffffff" and for whatever reason SDV just gave up
maybe it doesn't like the special character?
If I remove it, do you think it works?
it might, but there's also been issues with people who recently changed their steam name--take a look in the pins, one of the server admins is looking into this issue rn
you can also try these steps

So when I look at my profile, My foraging says 9. Then I rest the next day and it’s back to 7. Do skills decrease or is this a bug? Because I felt like I’ve been foraging for a long time. I am on the Nintendo switch.
are there any other sites to get mods besides Nexus?
#archived-modded-support is a better place for that question, but another common one is ModDrop, or the Chucklefish Forums or official Stardew forums
The last one is a theft site @alpine hatch please don't advertise it
shit i didn't know that i'm so sorry
@valid crater That's a good question for #stardew-valley, but in short the game doesn't save until you sleep, including exp
It's fine, just for reference

And you can use the webtool straight from mobile yeah
I can't find anything about this in the chat, but my saves aren't updating since two days ago, even though I played today morning
Make sure your Steam sync isn't overriding the files
How do I check that?
You can check to see if it's turned on at all in the Steam client, by right clicking on the game. If it is, are you seeing a pop up when loading the game about file mismatch?
Nope, it loads all fine.
Hmm. Any mods?
Yes, but I've used them on other saves and all the other ones are fine
Ah, over to #archived-modded-support then, might be something crashing the saves
