Why do animals get mad if you stay up past 6?

    According to the stardew wiki:



    Why...is this, exactly? Is it to discourage players from staying up super super late? If so, why 6 PM? 8 PM seems to be when it gets dark (and is when my player usually goes to bed) How do the animals know if the player is running around when they're inside? That makes no sense...

      Your sheep are watching you. They know when you are awake; they know when you sleep. They watch when you eat, when you do chores. They watch when you get married and when you raise your children. They know when your guard is down.

      The sheep are watching. Always.

      Always.

          They report to the sheep.

          All livestock reports to the sheep.

          (Oh! You say! But I don't have any sheep! Yes. Yes, you do. Even if you have never seen them.)

            I actually never knew about this before you mentioned it. I'm always running late and I never noticed my animals being unsatisfied CAUSE OF MY UNHEALTHY SLEEPING RHYTHM. Guess my animals don't care enough for my well being-

            But my animals always ended up getting me purple star products pretty soon, just give them fresh grass and hay and a daily pet on the back and they're good.

                Last I heard this matter was being looked into, so it's probably a glitch. Not sure in which thread I read about it, though (otherwise I'd provide a link).

                Edit: Ah, here we go. Found the thread.

                    Ah, it says in a later post that the bug was fixed in version 1.2. This could explain why Leluder still gets good eggs, haha. I haven't gotten far enough to have animals, which is why I was wondering.

                      1.2 fixed some animal bugs (like certain ones being unable to produce byproducts when they love you too much), but not the happiness decay - somebody bumped it about a month ago with that little status update that ConcernedApe is looking into it, and I don't think there's been an update since. Maybe it'll be fixed in the Multiplayer update?

                        If you have the PC version, the mod Mood Guard fixes both the happiness drain and the profession overflow bug!

                          On a cold, rainy night, if you listen very very carefully after the animals are all bedded down for the night, you can hear the sheep softly bleeting to themselves, "Four legs good, two legs bad."

                              There would have to be amendments... but remember, after all is said and done, "All animals are equal, but some are more equal than others."

                                    I don't have a sheep though... I have chicken, ducks, cows, and goats...unless they report to the GRAND SHEEP OVERLOAD that I've heard whispers about...

                                    I THINK initially the 6 pm was "well, that's when it gets dark", forgetting that a ton of people stay up past 6. 10 or midnight would make more sense to me.

                                    "Slight baaaa heard from somewhere"

                                      Is this why my chickens are almost always in a bad mood? They have food, they have free run of the farm, and it's not cold yet. Do they lay more eggs as they age? They're still fairly young chickens.

                                        They lay larger and better quality eggs as their friendship (the hearts) goes up. Mood is the other half of the equation and this bug affects that.

                                          How do you make friends with them? I put a heater in the coop, and they always have food in the hopper.
