To keep it at one position? Yeah, you need to tap it at the right speed.
Two words: FLAPPY BIRD xD
It isn't that bad tbh, you get used to it rather quickly.

I think I'm getting in a groove now. Took like 30 try's, but I'm actually catching fish now lol. Thanks guys.

Hold square down when you want to move the meter fast. Tap it went you want it to go slower or maintain its position. That seems to work for me.

Fishing drive me nuts at first too, but once you get the hang of it, it's quite easy
I'd say pretty great, but then I had zero crash issues even before the patch.

So does this patch fix the Pro-destroying garbage? Or is that coming later? I'd be more angry if this game wasn't so good 
I tend to tap or do short little holds when I want the gauge to hover slightly. Lots of fish like to sit at a depth for a while, then shoot down or straight up.
Also, on that note, a general fishing tip for everyone; carefully tap as you descend, even if the fish is at the bottom, because the gauge bounces off the bottom like crazy. You need to get down there at a pretty slow pace or you'll just pop right back up. It's weird (and there's tackle you can use to stop it, if you like, but I prefer using something else and just compensating).
Thanks for the update and for bringing this game to PS4! I can't stop playing, such a great game!

The patch fixed the energy bar being but off on the right hand side of the screen but when I pick up items, the box that appears on the lower left hand corner is still cut off a bit. You can see about half the item that you picked up and then the words.
Also, any text box that pops up in the lower left hand corner gets cut off a but too. I got the exhaustion message and part of it was cut off.

So I've been playing on PC, and loving the game. Even thinking about double dipping on PS4.
As far as farming goes, what should I do there? I buy the crops, plant the crops, and when they are ready then what? I've been selling them to the store for more money for more crops and I'm in this loop. Am I supposed to be saving the crops for something? Is there something to do with them besides selling them?

I have also experienced weird Ps4 pro behavior after playing Stardew Valley. Including preventing other games from launching - I launched hitman after a stardew session and it would not load until i restarted my PS4. Additionally, Stardew Valley cannot be terminated from by the OS. I would hit options in the XMB as stardew valley was running and it wouldn't even load an interface.
I have actually had to hard restart the system by pulling the plug twice now. It can't even shut down the system properly after the game has run.

some UI issues:
In an unrelated issue, the mouse animation has like 2 extra pixels on the top right and bottom right corners. It drives me nuts.
Eventually you get enough experience in farming and you unlock the ability to craft preserve jars and kegs. Then you can turn your crops into artisan goods, which sell for more.

Gotcha. So just keep selling them for now. When the list of achievements popped up I got some fishing XP, but no farming XP for some reason even though I had picked and sold some crops. I'll figure it out as I go. Like I said, loving the game.

mollygos said:Hello! We are aware of the reports and we're investigating this. I'll let you know more as soon as I know more.
WHAT!?! Please tell me this isn't true. Do you really sell them to the store? You got a box on the right of your house. That's where everything you want to sell should go in.
Edit: If you want to keep track of your stats like "items shipped", you should use the box for selling.
I'm not sure if you'll get achievements/trophies if you sell through stores.
But if you want the money immediately?

Why do that when I need to buy more seeds anyway?

It's certainly more tolerable than the energy bar being completely off-screen but it's still annoying.
Yeah, I get that, but when you're new and living hand to mouth it seems a little futile to wait a day before being able to plant more crops.
Shame the box is emptied overnight rather than at some point during the day.
I'm not in a rush, so I can wait one day to get my money and personally I really like to see the shipping screen and be proud of what I sold that day:
The box being emptied overnight is good. That's how I can go fishing until 10-11pm and make bank with a lot of fish.
You can just go and sell all your stuff at the store.
Prices are the same. It just doesn't get counted as "shipped". So you don't get credit for a few achievements.

But it's on every other platform? Still, more games the better!
yup. won't turn back on after despite the yellow flashing "standby" light
have to pull the plug and hard restart console
I'm on track to get my greenhouse before the end of fall(year 1); just in time for winter.
My plans are to grow blueberries(star fruits later on) there; put these then into kegs to make wine; put the wine into casks to age it for even more value.
Problem: I need oak resin for kegs and now I'm trying to create a maple/oak/pine tree farm. The goal is to make it overseeable.
I love this game.

So a few questions:
Does this game still cause hard crashes on PS4 Pro?
Does this game have 4K support on PS4 Pro?
How are the controls? I heard initially the console releases have had poor controls, just wondering if it has been improved with patching yet?
Really want this game but seems like there are a lot of issues right now with the console release.

Same question, I have it in my PS4 cart and would love to start playing today.

You can use them to fill out the community center for Exciting Prizes and you can gift them to people so they'll be your friend (or... dare I say... spouse). As you become friends with the villagers, you'll unlock little cutscenes with them, and they'll start sending you stuff in the mail.
You can also use them to cook with, but I'll be honest with you: Very few recipes are worth making since you'll almost always be better of selling the crop for cash instead.

I still don't know what the Tracker perk does. Can anyone make a case for it over Botanist?

A quick Google says that it makes arrows appear at the edge of the screen pointing towards forageable items, so
Probably not. By the time you get it you'll either know where things are or won't be desperately racing around for them against the clock.

Stick with it. I know exactly how you feel, but it will click. Is there anything in particular you're struggling with?
I find it to be incredibly difficult to keep up with the fish, it either goes too fast or my bar drops to fast..
Textured Monk
Member
You can control how fast the bar drops by tapping with a slower rhythm, if that makes sense. It sounds unhelpful because fishing can be over so quickly you feel like you're not getting anywhere, but the more you do it the better you will get with your timing.
As you go your fishing level will increase and you'll be able to buy better equipment, both of which will help.

Not sure if it even is.
Bought this the other day but I've been too busy to really play and then in what free time I've had I've been slowly moving through FF15. Thanks to Sony giving me $10 on my US PSN account and $5.xx I had in the wallet I didn't really pay anything for this so not really worried it's become a backlog entry for now.
Nice to see some quick patches so when I do jump in things will probably be in better shape. Controller use from the 30 mins I played seemed okay.
Any devs want to say if it might get a pro patch for native 4K?

I am wondering the same thing.
The game sometimes freezes. This can last from a split second up to three seconds. (Fixed in the upcoming patch)
Some players can't progress into the second year. The game crashes during the switch from 28th Winter to 1st Spring. (Fixed in the upcoming patch)
Otherwise it runs just like the pc version.
the other perk makes it so, everything you find has iridium state.
get some pigs and sell them iridium truffles!!
the tracker perk isn't worth it imo.
helps you finding stuff in the dirt, but that stuff isn't hard to find anyways imo.

What are bundles and how to I activate them or do them? I've read up on them a bit, but I'm still confused.

You just put the objects from your inventory into the boxes.
So if there is a picture of a carrot and a mushroom you need to find/grow a carrot and a mushroom.
Once completed you get a reward.
