this may be a dumb question, but the community center rebuilding seems like the ultimate goal of the game. are there any other big goals to work on after that? any other things to unlock? or is the challenge pretty much over after that, and you're just idly farming and fishing and mining?
If you're done before 2 years there is an evaluation coming. Other than that very expensive items/buildings and all the stuff on the collection tabs. Some quests maybe for areas you may or may not have access to already. The casino Skull caverns Witches hut Sewers Dwarf
You would be right. It is the primary project as far as dedicated programmed goals are concerned. There are some extra quests that emerge after its completion, but the real essence of Stardew Valley is its emergent gameplay which means coming up with your own personal goals, not necessarily programmed goals.
I've expressed a wish here that the CC might acquire extra purpose after completion--perhaps serving as a school, a place for new merchant booths, a few village togetherness events. That may have been intended at once time, but if so, it was evidently dropped by the developer. Shame, really, to have this big area that nothing's done with, but it furnishes an excellent quest system.
Right now all it's done is to annoy me by having Clint leave his shop each Friday which is coincidentially when I need him to open geodes for me!
I'd like JojaMart to sabotage and destroy community center 1 year after you complete it... allowing you to start over its repair BUT this time it'll require different/much harder items such as iridium bars x100 and prismatic shard x50 and 90 million gold... lol.
Ah, yes, and then Morris can tie Penny to the railroad tracks and sneer. I mean, as long as he's got the black coat and is chewing scenery already.
At those prices I think most people would regard it as merely a grind and not bother, but other than that it could be interesting
After the community center is complete, the game can be a little boring. Here are some things I have found to do: 1) Get married and have kids. Obviously. Marry a bunch of people, see all the heart events, have kids with 2 different spouses. 2) Turn your farm into something else. See my "Farm is now a Medieval Castle" thread. This can take years and add a lot of replay value! 3) Befriend everybody. See all cutscenes. 4) Complete the mines, the museum, and whatever it is you do in the sewer - I currently cba with this. 5) Get all mythical animals - dinosaur, blue chicken, void chicken... are there others? 6) Make your house awesome. Expand and decorate it. Have different rooms for weird stuff - Art room, brewery, jungle room etc. 7) Multiplayer adventures. Endless fun if you combine it with changing your farm into something else. Other ideas include hide n seek tournaments, races, and inventing your own contests. 8) Make your own videos featuring the adventures of your farmer and the NPCS. Do voice overs, scripts etc. Can be as stupid as you like. 9) Enjoy the festivals and look forward to new content. Mess around with Mods. 10) Start a new file playing as your kid.
