Some thoughts about the overall pacing of the game

I really like this game, I'm gonna leave a positive Steam review in just a minute, but there's some things I wanna address.

Right now I'm in spring of year 3. I managed to set up a huge farm with an irrigation system. So I'm finally ready to make some real cash contribution.

But... what for? There's nothing left to do in the game. All the projects have been done, the caves are explored. There's no more content left.

It's really disappointing, when you feel you're ready to mean business (big farm, irrigation, generations of animals) there's actually no reason/incentive to do it.

Anyone has similar feelings?

As a comparison: in Stardew Valley, when you manage to set up your perfect farm after a few years there's still lots of things to do, lots of things you can spend your money on.

Another striking example of this issue: when you finish the final cave challenge, you get the 'magic multi tool' to help you clear the debris on your farm, But by then my farm was already fully optimized, with no debris left. That was really underwhelming.

So I'm hoping the devs plan to add extra content to keep the players engaged and give us an incentive to keep playing.
(A simple idea: a quest board, to do tasks for other Pachans, which gives you some contribution and heart points, cause boy, it's so hard to get hearts with these people.)

Well, that's just my rant.
I wonder if others feel the same?

Yes, I am in my 5 game year and there is nothing new to do now so I am bored.

I have a lot of money and 2 kids and I bought all clothes/hats for all and decorated my house and turned out all my animals to legendary with the best qualities, received all game achievements, put farms and craft barns in all available area, upgraded all bracelets (accessories) for skills.

As a suggestion: I would like to see how other NPCs get married and get kids - there is area on the top of the land on the hill for new houses. But they after 5 years still talk how they love each other but no actions. And I have a husband and 2 kids and it is awkward to talk to NPCs and they are still waiting for me that I break up with my current husband and union with them.

Also new caves will be nice or new clothes or new inventions or upgrade children stations so they help in more area. Our own kids can help in our farm too.

Maybe all villagers will be aging and generations will change each other, so we can play as our kids after our character dies as in Echoes of the Plum Grove.
