Money Sinks

[The Wanderer]

It would be nice to have some kind of money sink for the late game. I assume that by year 3 or 4 (in-game time), many players have obtained every achievement, maxed relationship and designed a decent farm. Of course, some people speed run this process, while others prefer to take it slow.

Regardless, many of us sit with millions of gold coins in our bank, without meaningful ways to spend it. Rebuilding Pam's trailer only costs 500k, spending that much barely made a dent. And the other late game content with Qi can only be bought with Qi Gems and other items or currency, not gold. Gold has become obsolete.

Would be nice if C-Ape added some kind of donation option where you can donate to orphans and such, or crops that siphon large amount of gold. Otherwise, a large part of the game stops after year 5 as gold is no longer required and players have little incentive to plant crops (for profit) after reaching 10M or 20M.

What do you guys think?

Decorate with exclusively Gold Clocks, 10mil a piece! Or multiple return scepters at 2mil a piece!

In all seriousness, it would be nice. . .but I think it might defeat the point. I think near infinite funds are your reward for a job well done at that point. If bored, its time to restart, put some personal challenges in place, maybe add a few mods and if desired, start all over again.

at some point youve "beaten" the game... and at some point you really have nothing left to do... i suppose thats where mods come into play to keep the game "replayable"
ive ran into this point in a few games... and its always ....sad...thats the best word i can come up with for when a loved game experience comes to its eventual ending...
but thats why theres always another game like ti or a game in my library i really should give a try. i wish there was a stardew valley 2. or honeydew valley where you start out married and the wife gives you daily chores ;) lol.

"Money sinks" are pointless when they don't have any real use other than reducing the amount of money you have.
If anything, you should ask for actual content. Building a new outside bar at the beach for a new summer event. Digging a new mine shift. Decorating everyone's house. Fulfilling wishes of every inhabitant. Things like that, which actually bring content.

Otherwise, just install a mod and set your cash to 0 again.

compare it to real life

There's a mod called "Longevity" I think that adds taxes and a few other things to make the game last longer. Maybe that's what you want?
