Beach farm fish tables
Is there a difference between fishing in The Beach or on your farm (I'm talking about Beach farm ofc) Is there a higher chance of trash on the farm or is it the same?

Beach farm seems to have a 50/50 trash rate, and can also catch crab pot stuff with the fishing rod.

Much, much, MUCH higher chance of trash on the Beach Farm.

You'd expect a Beach Farm to support Fishing, but it doesn't. If you want to fish, don't waste your time and bait there, it's a noob trap.

It's much better to take a little time to go to a real fishing spot and fish there, consistently getting fish on every cast.

I think this is kinda dumb. If you have chosen a farm because it supposedly is good for fishing, then shouldn´t it be good for fishing? Unless you want a change of scenery or a different normal challenge to the game, it feels kinda useless to choose this map if you want to do a fishing playthrough.. The trash rate should be lower. Atleast thats my opinion :P

I have catched plenty of fish on my beach farm. But it is nothing spectacular. I agree with the first post, it seems to be 50/50. I had a similar feeling with the riverland map. On the beach map you also get these crates that wash up, containing all sorts of goodies.

To be fair, that's what the River Farm's perk is.
If they made the Beach farm also good for fishing...what would be the point of taking the River Farm?

If you were minmaxing you wouldn't pick the riverlands farm to begin with... It doesn't have to be all about making things 101% efficient, but surely it adds to the game when the map you choose has a unique perk that gives you a reason for picking it?

When I minmax I most definitely go for the Riverlands farm.

Thanks to the quick access to water, you can restore the entire town (carts, bus, greenhouse, quarry, boulder) before the end of the first month!

I mean month.

It only costs 140,000g to restore the entire town, you can make well over 200,000g in the first month by fishing.

I've done the Community Centre twice already and I don't think I can do it again. It's just so beyond obnoxious. You've got a fantastic sandbox game here but the Community Centre has so many insane requirements, many of them gated behind seasons or even luck, that it takes over your entire gaming experience.

Being a slave is overrated. I enjoy freedom, so I pick Joja.

Thats fair I just enjoy playing the game by itself and doing the community centre at my own speed as like a sidequest style :) and to me picking the centre just seems right :)

Admittedly it feels bad to support yet another soul-crushing corporation; we've got enough of that in real life.

But the game doesn't give you a choice. Either you do absurdly obnoxious chores for weird magic creatures and essentially become a slave, or you support the evil company.

For some reason there's no option to have the work done by honest local entrepreneurs. You'd think that you could pay Robin to fix the Greenhouse and the Bridge, hire Clint to remove the boulder, or hire Maru to repair the Minecarts and the Bus, even if it costs more than doing it via Joja.

So, I'm guessing you're not interested in the new option that allows you to randomize what the bundles require.
(At least the quality no longer has to be the same for all items)

Yeah the remixed bundles could have been a bit more... remixed @.@
