Are animals still bugged?
Do animals still stop producing goods when their mood is high? Can their happiness still suddenly reset when you reach it to max? I'd like to know before I make a farm with animals on it.

Edit: Answers and thanks have been given. You can consider this thread closed unless you think you have something else to add. :)

Mine do not stop producing, where did you hear that? As far as I can tell, mood affects the quality..

Last time I checked, this was still a thing. The wiki hasn't been updated in a while but also mentions animals like Sheep that stop producing goods because there is no "large" version of their product.

Seems like a simple problem but does not appear to be fixed yet.

Ah damn too bad. Hoped it would've been fixed by now.

Thank you very much for letting me know though! Now I can continue! :)

Hello McFly!

The problem with animals not producing when they're too happy is only happening to pigs. When the pigs are at their maximus hearts they will try to find better truffles for you. The problem is that truffles can only be a normal rating, without a star. This results in pigs not finding/producing any truffles when they're outside. This is the bug that is hoping to be fixed sometime in the near future. The same goes for the sheep because wool can only be normal rating too.

And to you vernicom, the goats only produces milk ones every other day, even if they're at maximum hearts!.

Hope this answers your question!

Thank you for replying Maxistar. Yeah on production I was just referring to Pigs, Sheep and Dinosaurs, they were the only ones effected by he original problem and still seems to be the case.

How about the affection bugs though? That's something all animals suffered from, would you know anything about that?

Are you referring to the animals happiness going from 255 to 0 if you pet them when they're at max/255 happiness?
Otherwise please inform me on the affection bugs as I would like to know what that is :D

Yush that was what I was referring too sorry, I'm guessing by the way you phrased it that also still has to be fixed at some point? >:

I have at least one of every kind of animal at 5 hearts and I don't think any of them have stopped producing? Also, are you sure truffles can't have stars, because I have the skill that makes all foraged items become Iridium quality and it still affects truffles.

Pretty sure they're only bugged for some people in the live version of the game.

In the beta, I'm pretty sure they're fixed...

They do? Are you playing in the live or beta version?

Thanks for the answers guys, seems the beta might have some of these issues fixed but I don't think I'll participate in that atm.

*pet* "I like you!" *pet* "I like you more!" *pet* "I love you!" *pet* "AAAH THAT WAS ONE TOO MUCH I'M TRAUMATISED"

Trying to keep your animals in a perfect mood seems like a real hassle unless you know exaclty when to stop for a while. I hope this gets fixed for future players at some point.

There is this infamous issue, as well as the other one; animal moods lowering several points the longer YOU stay up over 18:00 resulting in sad/fine animals with low spawn items come morning time.

I noticed the animals odd behaviour earlier today and when my dinos refused to lay eggs weeks apart, and my rabbits got all mopey for no apparent reason. It caused me research why, and imagine my shock and suprise to see another player posting the EXACT same topic only hours apart. *sigh*

Unfortunately, the buggy animal mood issues have been posted around the web for a while now, and in such a wonderfully, magic, captivating game as Stardew Valley, it's a shame to them have unaltered and unpatched.

Really hope the talented and impressive ConcernedApe (or the devs now working on the game) get to patch the bugs before the game goes multi in summer!
