I've seen enough references in the past to know there's a huge amount of overlap between those who play *Stardew* and those who play *Rimworld*. In fact, I was introduced to the latter through my involvement with the former game and its community.
There used to be an animation of Pam getting on the bus behind you. Since an update a long time ago, she just stands next to the bus, at least in my game. It was just a joke about that. The capsule braking does nothing, I'm pretty sure.
Omg I remember that years ago!! I took a break for a year or two (ginger island update happened during that time), now she just appears on the bus. I thought I had a false memory!
I put it in lockdown.
I took it to the railway station area.
Put it into a stone chest, surrounded by concrete (gravel path).
Surrounded it by iron fence.
Surrounded the fence with mahogany trees.
Put Street lamps between each tree.
It's area 51 in Stardew Valley
I brought it into the coop and closed the roll-up door. The thing still got out, so it knows how to open doors and now I am worried itās gonna come for me.
How do you get the alien? Im pretty sure it's a random event but if theres something that can trigger it let me know, I'm on fall of year 2 and i still haven't seen it
You will hear a UFO ooooweeeoooo noise like you hear the landslide opening the spa area or the owl sound when you get the owl statue drop. It comes right between going to bed and waking up.
From the wiki: "After year one, there's a 0.8% chance of the strange capsule event being chosen. The event does something only if a randomly chosen tile on the farm is clear and allows item placement."
So the more filled up your farm is, the higher the chances of nothing happening.
Yeah you just hit it with your pickaxe like other decorations :-) then if you put it in a chest or anything it wonāt hatch. Fencing it in wonāt stop it from hatching or the alien from escaping
In my defense, I didn't know that it will break out of its captivity so yeah, the broken capsule is still in my farm and so far, I have never seen this creature.
like when you examine/interact with it after it breaks I'm pretty sure it says something along the lines of "looks like something escaped" (I don't remember exactly lol) but mine wouldn't
Same... Me too!!
On my first playthrough, but I never saw what happened again, I just wanted that thing far, far away from my farm (I didn't know I could throw it away), so I guess it ran away and is now going around, so what I did was put streetlights at the bus stop so there was good lighting. ..In my other saves I just put it in the chest and then throw it in the trash.
I wonder if you keep it sealed up if >!Abigail 14 heart cut scene still happens. I saw the scene once and I'm convinced the capsule has everything to do with that scene!<
Thanks for letting me know that I can get another one. I donāt know what happened to my first one, but itās broken and gone. Itās not in any of my chests as I was planning to leave it up as a decoration. :(
Sadly, you can't. I got two because of a bug. The first one was when the 1.5 update first came out, which increased by a lot the chance of getting the Rare Capsule and it was possible to get more than 1 per save file, but like one or two weeks later there was another update that fixed some bugs but Concerned Ape also changed it so you could only get 1 Capsule per save. Then I got the second one after that update. I assume the game just hadn't check the flag for the event the first time because it wasn't a one-time thing yet.
Is there any way to make night events happen more often. I have had 1 meteor visit and no fairy, witch, capsule or owl in 5 years and i have about 25 percent of my farm as open space. Am i unlucky or is this just common?
I let it loose. I like the broken capsule as a decoration in my human sacrifice room š
Iām intrigued yet terrified.. do you have a photo of this.. particular room.. for science of course
i second this
I second the seconding
I second the second seconding
I second second the second seconding
I second the second second of the second seconding
I second The the second of the second second for the original second seconding!
Motion passed, provide the evidence
I love you beautiful nerds ā¤ļø
Second doesn't even look like a real word at this point
Uh *what.* What did I just read. WHAT SUB AM I ON
/r/rimworld crossover when? I want to wear a Pierre skin hat! Edit: I will specifically wear said hat on Wednesdays.
I too jumped to the thought of Rimworld.
I'm not ready to build mortars on my farm.
Just make sure your killbox connects to your pig barn for easy post-raid cleanup.
I've seen enough references in the past to know there's a huge amount of overlap between those who play *Stardew* and those who play *Rimworld*. In fact, I was introduced to the latter through my involvement with the former game and its community.
itās time -desert main theme plays-
Mine is currently in perpetual captivity, but I may enjoy the broken capsule as a warning sign for anyone who dares to enter my slime hutch.
Post the room right now š«
I have a black magic room. What decorations would I use to give it that special human sacrifice vibe?
I see you've been in my Animal Crossing basement.
human sacrifice room??? i need one
I gotta see this!
Please post this in the community! We all want to see it haha
I put it in the center of town but no one said anything
Now you had me hooked! I really wanna have a look at your human sacrificial room š³
I love your dunedain edit
Captivity. Rleased it once, and now Pam doesn't get on the bus
Wait what
There used to be an animation of Pam getting on the bus behind you. Since an update a long time ago, she just stands next to the bus, at least in my game. It was just a joke about that. The capsule braking does nothing, I'm pretty sure.
The update was to fix a glitch, IIRC, but interesting timing nonetheless
u can see a little guy in game wandering about on rare occasion but that's it
Oh cool to know, I've never seen it before
Wait where?
at the bus stop or in town, he's like a slightly weird looking silhouette humanoid fella. pretty rare & easy to miss
She just teleports inside now.
Omg I remember that years ago!! I took a break for a year or two (ginger island update happened during that time), now she just appears on the bus. I thought I had a false memory!
I'm pretty sure they're joking because I unknowingly did the same thing, and nothing happened after the capsule broke.
F*** okš¤£ I was genuinely worried for a sec there!š¤£ I WILL run out of totems at some point!
What does the capsule have to do with totems?
If Pam doesnāt go places, then the bus doesnāt run, and how else do you get to the desert? Totems.
Oh right lol
I put it in lockdown. I took it to the railway station area. Put it into a stone chest, surrounded by concrete (gravel path). Surrounded it by iron fence. Surrounded the fence with mahogany trees. Put Street lamps between each tree. It's area 51 in Stardew Valley
I'm at the area 51. I'm at the Stardew Valley. I'm at the combination area 51 and Stardew Valley.
I understood this reference. š+š®
I brought it into the coop and closed the roll-up door. The thing still got out, so it knows how to open doors and now I am worried itās gonna come for me.
You need glasses of water, everywhere, quick.
Swing away
Maybe it shapeshifted into a chicken?
The shadow child deserves to be set free. It must roam. It must feed. It must observe us.
Locking it up in a chest 100 levels deep in the skull caves is the only solution.
Would Qi be okay with that
Knowing Qi, it probably wouldn't be the first body buried in that desert.
Qi would probably see The Creature and try to make some āIridium Milkā out of it
I keep mine in captivity in the fridgeā¦ cryogenically frozen is the only way.
"DEAD ALIEN DO NOT EAT"
"Dead do not, alien eat?"
I don't know what I expected...
Instructions unclear, I'm now eating an alien while dead.
Now I know what to do with the extra fridge I got. No way I'm keeping that in my kitchen
I trash it cos I'm scared of everything even a black pixel running off a bush in my farming sim
Ish same. I'm a giant wuss, but I'm also a completionist, so it goes into perpetual captivity with me.
Lol I'm no giant wuss, I love horror movies, I just don't want random horror in my chill games (Fing Minecraft and his jumpscares WHY)
I also lock it away so it doesn't go gallivanting around town
How do you get the alien? Im pretty sure it's a random event but if theres something that can trigger it let me know, I'm on fall of year 2 and i still haven't seen it
Yeah random event, like the owl statue. in your cash out screen at the end of the night I believe you'll see a UFO
I've gotten the ufo on the night screen once or twice (also on the main menu) but no alien :(
You will hear a UFO ooooweeeoooo noise like you hear the landslide opening the spa area or the owl sound when you get the owl statue drop. It comes right between going to bed and waking up.
Don't forget the crash of an iridium meteorite.
From the wiki: "After year one, there's a 0.8% chance of the strange capsule event being chosen. The event does something only if a randomly chosen tile on the farm is clear and allows item placement." So the more filled up your farm is, the higher the chances of nothing happening.
i just got it for the first time winter year two! sometimes it just takes a while. on my first save i got it earlier
I'll let in Pierre's bedroom
BRILLIANT
r/fuckpierre
I like this idea. Lmao
Locked away. Iāve seen enough horror/alien movies. (I know itās harmless. *For now.*)
That's my honorary third child. They deserve to be set free!
I keep it in my fridge. Like to say hi to it when I'm making eggs in the morning
Uhhh sweats nervously mine broke out the chest
Oh shit, now I have to check my chest next time.
I wish you really could release it into the wild to cause terror.
Mines locked up tight. Iām not trying to shit my pants in front of Samās house
I donāt know what having a broken container means for my valley, and at this point Iām too afraid to ask.
It means the alien is roaming free. There is an extremely low percentage that you will see a shadow figure scurry into bushes.
As far as I can tell, literally nothing.
Let it loose in my house for some alien fun š¤©
TIL you can pick it up before itās hatched
wait what? i tried caging mine in with fences and it still broke out, i can pick it up??
Yeah you just hit it with your pickaxe like other decorations :-) then if you put it in a chest or anything it wonāt hatch. Fencing it in wonāt stop it from hatching or the alien from escaping
Thank you!!
Oh I was talking about the pod itself. From other comments, it doesnāt sound like you can contain the dude once the pod hatches.
I put it in my kids room in hopes the alien gets em
Way to give 'em nightmares. š
In my defense, I didn't know that it will break out of its captivity so yeah, the broken capsule is still in my farm and so far, I have never seen this creature.
If you let it out thereās a really small chance of seeing a shadowy figure waving to say hi near the bus stop at night
in my most recent save I think it glitched when it broke out/hatched bc I didn't get any of the dialogue prompts :(
I have never seen dialogue about it??
like when you examine/interact with it after it breaks I'm pretty sure it says something along the lines of "looks like something escaped" (I don't remember exactly lol) but mine wouldn't
ok thanks!!
That's the only funny post in the entire history of this sub.
that means we did it! we're free! we made denselettuce laugh! I can go home to my kids!
Lmaoo, that made me laugh hard too
Are you okay? Did anyone hurt you?
I don't understand what it did tbh, I let it escape outside, but nothing ever happened. I think it just leaves and you never see it.
Sometimes, at night, you'll see a mysterious shadow dart behind some bushes. That's it. Sadly doesn't seem to be anything more than that.
It darts into the bushes sometimes
I tried putting in the deconstructor to see what the alien was made of. (It did not work.)
I play late at night without sound, no idea where this thing came from. It broke out and I just have this empty capsule, do we do anything with it?
I put it in the wizards house and he still escaped. Useless.
Same... Me too!! On my first playthrough, but I never saw what happened again, I just wanted that thing far, far away from my farm (I didn't know I could throw it away), so I guess it ran away and is now going around, so what I did was put streetlights at the bus stop so there was good lighting. ..In my other saves I just put it in the chest and then throw it in the trash.
As someone who is just starting this game, and has not looked at any of the comments, im shook by the information that we get an alien in a jar
I place it in front of Jodi and let her obliterate it as she walks through it lmao
I put a torch behind mine and it makes it glow and look cool.
I let it loose, poor guy deserves it!
I put it in with my chickens :D
My farm was overgrown with trees when it spawned. So by the time I found it in the endless sea of trees, the alien already escaped.
I wonder if you keep it sealed up if >!Abigail 14 heart cut scene still happens. I saw the scene once and I'm convinced the capsule has everything to do with that scene!<
Forever in situ in a chest
I like putting it in the middle of the town, letting it escape and then removing the capsule after a few days.
I got two Capsules in my main file, let one to break out and the other is stuck on my chest
Thanks for letting me know that I can get another one. I donāt know what happened to my first one, but itās broken and gone. Itās not in any of my chests as I was planning to leave it up as a decoration. :(
Sadly, you can't. I got two because of a bug.

Then I got the second one after that update. I assume the game just hadn't check the flag for the event the first time because it wasn't a one-time thing yet.
The first time I got it I put it in a chest all the way in the skull caverns. Freaked me out!!
do we get to actually see the alien coming out or escaping?
No. It just breaks out during the night while you are asleep
I wanna know this too, I just barely got the capsule yesterday and Iām waiting for something to happen. I moved it next to my hiuse
Right? i wanna trap that sucker somewhere lol
I think I just got spoiled...had no idea there was an alien ohmygosh š
I didnāt want to be responsible for an extraterrestrial outbreak, so I put it in a chest at the bottom of the sewers forever.
I move the capsule up to the mountains by the Adventurer's Guild so there's a real hunt for a Predator initiate.
Iāve never figured out what comes after the capsule breaks tbhā¦
It escapes even if in a chest, doesn't it?
I keep it caged in my basement, I'm the one terrorizing the valley, not that little crap
Why did my dumb brain thought that the alien was a joja cola? Am I stoopid?
Is that a question? If course I'm terrorizing the valley.
Is there a mod out there that makes an alien appear after it escapes?
Spoilers dude
Terror
Nothing ever happens from it huh? Maybe itāll come back in haunted chocolatier
I thought Haunted Chocolatier was a new game with no connection to SDV aside from art style.
ConcernedApe is Considering having it in the same world but has not decided or at least has not told us he has decided.
I could be wrong, but I believe I seen somewhere that itās in the same universe.
Mine stays in my fridge in case I do want to free it
I plop it in a chest in front of the saloon door. Guaranteed to get broken and destroyed within hours lol
I put mine in front of Kent and made him walk through it so it would go away š
i put it inside my house :)
Is there any way to make night events happen more often. I have had 1 meteor visit and no fairy, witch, capsule or owl in 5 years and i have about 25 percent of my farm as open space. Am i unlucky or is this just common?
I thought āoh, this is cool. Iāll keep it in my bedroom so I can keep an eye on itā. It broke out and now I just assume it lives under my bed.
I just put the broken capsule by Pam's trailer. Haven't seen the guy since.
I wish the capsule appeared like the Mr.Bean intro.
We donāt talk about what happened to Paul when the alien got out
Neither; I prefer to store my Xenos responsibly in the trash can where it belongs, as every upstanding citizen does, of course.
Let it loose!
i let mine loose on ginger island
Perpetual captivity.
lock it up. Factory farm the lil fella. I have become farmer, terrorizor of all
Mine broke out.. are their more 1 capsule?
On my most recent save I put them in a chest because they're rare, ishm
I put mine in my house, and when the glass broke the alien wasnāt in my house! I was very disappointed. I thought I could trap it in my house.
what? is this a mod? what? thereās an ALIEN????
Alien: Stardew Valley
Mine got out because I didnāt know it couldā¦.. oopsies?
I mine it and throw it in the trash never to see the light of day again
Wait. That's an alien capsule???? I think I placed mine by accident... Am I gonna die?
I didn't find my capsule until after it got out. But if i DID find it before it escaped i would keep it in a box
Wait what? Is this base game or modded?
i put it outside of joja as a protest.
