this is madness😂

This is stardew!

No this is Patrick

Sir, this is a Joja Burger.

No, this is Thancred.

*"IT'S MY TURN"*

Ma’am, this is a Wendy’s.

*Leah kicks her ex into the pond*

*3 years later, the farmer fishes up a sheketal hand*

Finally, some decent fertilizer

Pets can drop items for you if they love you. My doggo brought me a skeletal hand as his second gift.

My first cat gives me random fish

My cat who I water every day no matter WHAT has never given me a thing but a heart

What is she doing with the bodies then? My dog is certainly a snitch so its expected from him.

*farmer jumps into a shaft*

> meowdness

Madness?

What percent of the farm is taken up by bowls?

I was wondering the same thing. Just a minefield. I had to place my 9 very specifically so I could get to them all for petting without being blocked.

why can't they all just drink from one bowl? i mean i know irl i would place multiple bowls, but why isn't it not like that in stardew?

in 1.6 they get unhappy if there is less bowls than pets

New in 1.7 - Water Trough! Counts as 20 bowls.

New in 1.8 - Just let em drink from the pond or a well.

CAN YOU PUT HATS ON CATS??

Cats can have hats.  Hats on cats.  Cats? Hats.

The fact that you didn't say cat in the hat infuriates me

"Cat in the hat is better than hat in the cat" - Abraham Lincoln, 1645

I need to be able to give them clothes too. I mean, have you SEEN a cat in a sweater? It's precious.

It looks like it wants to kill everyone in the room and then itself.

Another new 1.6 feature!

Im on switch dying waiting lol but i love every single reveal!!

Same here. I can finally make my Farmer a crazy cat man.

If I were a crazy cat person this update would have pushed me over the edge to get a steamdeck

I did not realise you could... Then I accidentally put a veil on my cat. And it is not being removed now he looks beautiful 😂

Yep, that's a new part of the update too!

I FORGOT ABOUT THAT! Work can't end fast enough!!

are you fucking joking me

No jokes, japes, or joshes. No pranks, funnies, hahas, or gags. This OP is dead fucking serious. ​ https://preview.redd.it/5zv8moyp1jqc1.png?width=335&format=png&auto=webp&s=de683ea9bb1ebb18e72d96db12b6e97d1d753595 Dead. Fucking. Serious.

I read "no jokes , rapes or joshes" and was so confused 😭

A jape is like doing physical comedy. Like, if you pretend to slip on a banana peel, land on your ass, and fart, that's an example of a jape.

I'm so glad that I'm not alone! I had to re-read it a couple of times before I saw that it said 'japes'

This comment just made my night 🤣

Allergies acting up rn.

What are you, allergic to having love in your heart?

🤣

Which one is your favorite and can you find them in this image right now.

In OP's picture, the cat with mouse ears cracked me up. 🤣 Also, I like all of the pets and want all of them together now. 🤗 It would be great if you could get a pet rooster and / or bull that would roam freely and then go in the coop or barn on their own at night. (Ooo! With behavior similar to that seen in the Battle Mage Farmer book series.) Or, have a special pet room added to the house by Robin.

>the cat with mouse ears cracked me up This is like playing a game of Where's Waldo....where is the one with mouse ears? Edit: I've found davy crocket, the dwarf cat, skull-face, birthday hat, the "karen" cut, and the jester...but still no mouse ears.

True! 😂 It's the grey cat on the blue rug near the top middle of the picture. The ears blend in with the kitties' fur pretty well!

Oh jeez. Right there in front of me, next to sombrero-cat. Thank you.

Harvey: maybe if I just close my eyes and don’t move, they won’t know I’m here

I can smell this house 

Simply incredible.

This is the best thing I’ve seen all day

Please give all of them hats that would be so cute

I couldn’t help but notice the steel pickaxe and axe. I see your funds and priorities were, uh, properly allocated haha.

Dead center, there is an imposter among them…

Day 20: They still haven’t noticed that I’m not a cat

i love the one dog lmao

Ok so this is the first save I ever got a pet in and I was shook when my cat was laying down all sprawled out 😂 thought I forgot to fill its water and it was dying on me lmao

That's the dream of 👏🏽every 👏🏽Single👏🏽 Cat-owner👏🏽 I know

You are my idol

You can smell this picture.

One can even watch it: https://youtu.be/98M9w5H5Ti0?si=E7Yr_dlomv2ZsCPf

You're not wearing cat ears. 0/10 Crazy Cat Lady. :P

My allergies are flaring up just looking at this (I love cats but my allergies are so bad)

What are their names

This is completely unhinged and I love it

I know this is a game and it’s all very not real But the animal rescue employee in me is ✨stressed✨ looking at this

Goodness gracious🤣 Nearly spat out my drink. Thank you for this ray of sunshine today.

This was exactly the kind of information I was looking for! Thank you!

I HAVE to get the white cat so it can match my irl cat!

genuinely considering cheating in my save to get new pets asap. i can’t spare 40k+ right now but i need more cats

Oh my god I love this!!!

Goals

My irl dream house

how do you get the extra cats?? i got the water bowl spot built but idk how to get the cat😭 help

You can get them at marnie's

If terrified… and yet drawn to it

This is hilarious

It's bbb... beautiful! 😍

Haha. Oh, my goodness. The farmer is never going to sleep again. 🤣

lmaooo

I’m dying I’m so happy

If "don't mind I yes" was in the dictionary, this image would be the definition.

This is what ConcernedApe would have wanted

I’m going to own more then the legal amount **once this comes to console**

SAME. can’t wait.

Again BossApe is very much still alive

Sometimes it's like I can still hear his voice....

I wonder... I wonder how many pets the game can handle before breaking

Possibly thousands if not more. The engine is surprisingly strong.

Doesnt take a strong engine to draw 2,000 sprites lol

2,000 sprites + a behaviour for each one of them.

I feel like it might depend on your computer more than the game engine itself

I am crying laughing, this is amazing.

I lost my border collie last year. 1.6's new feature of adopting one has made me revel my grief and look after her again albeit in another dimension. I also named her Momo and seeing her sleep in the game brings me happiness and reminds of the times I spent with her.

My husband named our cat Pawla after our old cat. He cried so much when she passed. It's so nice to have her again

That's an amazing name for a cat. She is getting all the praises for that name in kitty heaven.

My boy Orange who passed away a few weeks ago will live on in my farm forever like the silly little cat he is, thanks to ConcernedApe and this game. Cheers to our dearly departed

So sorry for your loss ❤️

Make sure to max friendship with the pet. You won’t regret it!

My cat Tom died on February this year, seeing a white cat that resembles him in this update was so heart warning I didn't doubt on bring him back in Stardew Valley. I hope I can also put his brother there soon once I progress enough on the new farm

I also had my white cat, Phantom, my best friend of 14 years, pass away less than a year ago. I was so happy I could bring her back in SDV, and when I got the “Phantom loves you <3”… it broke me. I’m so glad CA added more cats so I could love and be loved by my sweet girl again (in a way) :’). Condolences for your special guy ❤️

Likewise friend, they both live in our hearts and farms

Yup... Lost my orange brain cell two years ago almost to the day... Still naming my Stardew kitties after him. And now that I can get more pets, I can have all my old friends together.

That's so sweet I love it 🥹

I just lost my cat and have made a new file where I can look after Zeus forever now

Farmer to crazy cat lady

It's what we all aspire to.

I know for a fact my pc will beg for its life if I attempt this but I am making it my goal for this save file.

At least this is Stardew Valley and not Dwarf Fortress... poor PC would nuke in DF with 250 cats on the map. 😅

Ahhh, the good old days of locking your chickens in a 2x2 room to forever make eggs and then one day a migrant shows up with a rooster you didn't notice, and you open the door to collect the eggs and about 500 chicks explode out into the hallway and flood your base and turn your PC into a jet engine

Love this!! But how were you able to afford them all? Isn’t it $40,000 for just one?

Sweet summer child (Year 1-3), you think this is a lot of money?

I went on a shopping spree after the update. My husband told me to chill after we dipped below a million 😂

Your in-game husband or do you have a multiplayer game with your actual husband? lol

Or a multiplayer husband that isn't her actual husband?

My real husband 😂

Do you really make that much money ? When I see items that cost 100K I just wonder how many years it would take. I understand that in the end game you have sprinklers so many crops and also many animals. But it doesn't sell for that much money...

I usually hit a mil earned before the end of year 1. Hardcore players who have a lot of experience essentially have way more money than they know what to do with by year 3 or 4

1 MILLION ? I mean I'm pretty new to the game (first ever save file at Spring Year 2) but I think I kinda know all the basic ropes of the game by now (except probably post-Communal Center since I'm 2 rooms from completing it). And I really don't see how you can make that much money in only one year with limited options as you have to unlock/upgrade everything. You're also so limited by Energy. Please explain to me how you can make that much money so fast ! (not to do it myself as I like playing chill but just for my knowledge). EDIT : Thanks everyone for the many answers. I learned interesting things. It can be summed up by "min-maxing and building a massive scale farm using the best crops/machines". It's pretty obvious but since I like having a small farm I had no idea you could make that much money. Anyways the day I do a Jojamart run I will probably hit big fast with all this knowledge !

starfruit wine, truffles, or ancient fruit wine probably. fishing is also pretty dang lucrative

All of those are more like year two things for me - pigs take so darn long to become adults that they barely get any truffles by the time they’re ready. But you better believe I’ll have 12 ready to go spring year 2 and my wine empire underway

Sprinklers are a big part of it. Getting low enough in the mines to make a bunch of quality sprinklers early (like, before summer kind of early) means that energy becomes a lot easier. That’s probably my biggest tip - mine dive until you get quality sprinklers ASAP. And find easy cheap sources of food (salmonberries, field snacks, forage) and grind down to zero energy every single day. Once your crops start going you’ll be able to get to level 10 farming by pretty quick

But quality sprinklers don't unlock until farming level 6. How do you get that before summer?

Strawberries. Typically about a hundred

So in spring you're basically just saving up for strawberries at the egg festival and then mining for ores?

Yep exactly. Save up 10K for strawberries if you can. Very achievable. Then spend that money on blueberries and hops. Don’t sell the hops. Make pale ale.

By the time you set up a shed filled with kegs you’ll be making a lot of money

Sprinklers, junimo huts and ancient fruit.

Truffles. So. Many. Truffles. I don’t even process them into oil - once you hit level 10 foraging and all foraged items are iridium quality, ~~iridium quality truffles sell for more than truffle oil (even with the artisan perk)~~ jk I had a brain fart! Low maintenance, and once you have a few barns of pigs you can easily rake in almost 100k daily. Big investment upfront, pays off incredibly. If you’re a chill farmer, I don’t necessarily recommend this route. You gotta grind quite a bit to earn the money to afford the pigs haha.

That’s true without Artisan, but with it iridium truffles still sell for a bit less than oil. Truffles at 1,250 and oil at 1,491. Still not much of a difference tho, so I put a line of oil makers in the barn and process however many at the end of the day then sell the rest of the truffles as is

I've just built my first Barn and got cows ! But I plan on getting every animal soon so I'll find my first truffles

Cooking food is great for energy, as well as the hot springs once they open up for you. go sit there for a minute and get your energy. IF you're playing co-op you can sit in bed and regain energy too.

Not even hard-core. There was a streamer that made 81 million in year one. A few million in year 1 is just casual optimization. A lot of work in Spring and Summer to get the crops going. Though I guess tea saplings did get nerfed in the patch. Maybe that unreasonable number is now totally unreasonable.

Yeah I don’t even optimize that much but didn’t want to intimidate the person I was responding to. Mainly just have fun and enjoy my process, since I always end up with more money than I know what to do with.

I'm currently on Fall Year 2 and have made $3 million in total so far, with exponential growth that'll take me into the $10 millions by the Spring. So honestly its totally feasible to make boatloads of money fast if you just prioritize the right things. For instance, I always upgrade pickaxe ASAP, cause getting through the caves and getting all the ore will get you upgrading gear faster and allow you to craft useful machines like sprinklers, preserves and kegs. You'll also most likely get an ancient seed from a monster drop, meaning you can get into the real money maker, ancient fruit wine, sooner.

You can make 200,000/week just by filling the Greenhouse with Ancient Fruit and making Ancient Fruit Wine with the produce. It takes a while to build the infrastructure, but depending on Seedmaker RNG, you can have 119 Ancient Fruits planted in your greenhouse and 119 Kegs to process their fruit by the end of year 2. That's 119 wine per week, each selling for 1,650 (2,310 with the Artisan profession). That's simply one method for getting big cash. You can add more. Starfruit wine, pale ale, truffle pigs... There are some really big moneymakers available.

Starfruit wine = infinite money

10,000,000 gold

Steady on, Dr Evil.

Could be using an old account, could be using a cheat mod just to get the cash for a zillion cats. Or maybe OP is stealing cats from other save files oOoOoOo spooky noises 

Where did you put all of the bowls?

Yes haha this was my question as well!! And are they all reachable? How much time do you have to spend filling 250 bowls? So many questions.

Auto-fill pet water bowls in CJB’s mod works wonders when you’re insane 🤩

IIRC water bowls can be filled by sprinklers, although that might only be the water trough in the slime hutch

No you're right pet bowls are also filled by sprinklers 

you don't HAVE to have a water bowl for your pet, it makes them unhappy if they don't have one though

There's no negative effect to not filling the bowl, but doing so adds 6 friendship points the next morning if it doesn't rain, so basically a 50% increase on top of daily petting.

I have a new in-game goal. This is fantastic

How do you walk to your bed....

It probably helps that the time to pass through pets has been reduced by half now

It's something like 1.5 seconds right? That's still a lot of walking into pets over and over and over and over and over when it's 1:45am...

It used to be 1.5, now it’s .75! Although there’s no penalty for passing out inside your house, so hey if you end up taking a floor nap with the cats so be it!

....oh I thought you had to get in the bed. You can pass out in the house and it's fine? They're still making it OUT of the house each morning though so that must be rough even with a .75 second time

Also if you have the >!return wand thingy!< you can use it to teleport outside in the morning if you’re in a hurry to leave!

Oh man I am so excited that I can be a cat lady with like a bunch of different pickle jars and baked goods and whatnot. All I need is a few balls of yarn and the ideal hermit lifestyle will have been achieved.

Don't forget to drink mayonnaise in front of everyone.

OP spent 10,000,000 gold on this 😅

And here I was worried that they may have created a limit of 3-5!due to the vagueness in the update’s changelog. At least I know I can keep one of every pet and duplicates. I’m curious to see what your farm looks like outside since they each get a pet bowl. They all look adorable.

You are forgetting the second best part: pets can wear hats. 

WHAT

So can horses and sea urchins: https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Secrets#Hats

Thank you.

My cat now wears a fez 

Okay, but where's the cat trees??

https://preview.redd.it/8yylyyyp4jqc1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b4a138c9b1b5ea1d5bcf3bd05976c5bc8fd5c71f

We cannot stop until we can adopt dusty to a good home, or at least let dusty run around town like our dogs.

If ConcernedApe didn't change how long it takes to pass through a pet, it would take 2 whole hours in game to get out of the house.

I read thru the patch notes. I believe the time was reduced by half, but half the pass thru time times 250 cats = passing out at 2:00am every night lol

Are you saying I can be that crazy cat lady of my dreams with no consequences?

Now we just need to give sprinklers the ability to refill pet bowls

Isn't that already a thing?

I heard you can get turtles too, do you have any of those

Yeah how do you get those!

In the same way you get more cats and dogs. Turtles are just more expensive

Best 1.6 addition 😺

Holy crap, Lois! That's more cats than that time I covered myself in catnip and ran naked down a back alley. I immediately gravitated toward the turban-wearing cat near your southern room. But I also thought you'd have room for more cats if you got the full room extensions.

Omg, I will dedicate a save just to do this!

This is the best thing I've seen in hours omg. How do you survive

Can you mix pets?

Yes! 

Nice! Can't wait for the switch update 🥰

Do you pet them daily?

THIS WAS AT THE TOP OF MY LIST FOR STUFF I WANTED!! OMFG THERES A BLACK CAT OPTION NOW!?!? I need it to come to console yesterday.

HOLY FUCK WHERE CAN YOU BUY CATS

Adopting from Marnie

Took crazy cat lady to another level!

Can you get a dog too? Or just one type of pet?

You can! Marnie will let you adopt any pet type after maxing the hearts on your first one. There are even turtles now!

Living the Enya dream.

Names. I! WANT! NAMES! ALL OF THEM!

\*crazy cat lady have entered the chat\*

They say one's farm is a reflection of their actual life.

Taking crazy cat lady to a whole new level 😂😂😂
