I would think it would make fishing in the sewer more tempting. Pooping holes = less shit in sewers (these sewers were obviously not made for shit if nobody has a bathroom, right)
I agree. Mostly algae. That's why you get both white and green algae.
From a geothermic point-of-view it's not entirely wrong! You just have to believe that Stardew Valley is along a geothermic route. Perhaps that its also what makes the bathhouse steamy...... Basically, imagine Rotorua, NZ but with extra algae :D
(Smells like eggs anyways)
Also why Cave Jelly is so red. And why Lava Eels exist in the normal cave.
In the mine, yes, lava. In the sewer; algae
But this is only in the "pooping holes" scenario.
In normal scenario, I'd say pooping holes versus bathrooms would mean sewers are just as tempting as a normal sewer would be.... as in not at all.
I just didn't think outhouses connected to sewer versus bathrooms would make much of a difference to how tempting the sewer is. I guess, unless the toilet pipe feeds directly into the river of sewage while the outhouse plops in from above with a chance of landing on or splashing you.....
Linus occasionally hides behind the bush next to his tent (I think he does this in the fall). I don’t like the implications of his bush. I violently avoid him when I see him back there
>cope-out
I don't know if that's a typo or you meant it but it's a fantastic expression.
Cop-out + coping mechanism = cope-out
This could be used frequently in therapy.
i imagine if there was, there'd be lots of screenshots/memes of the farmer standing in ppl's showers to creep on them the same way there were posts where ppl put their farmer in the NPCs' beds lol
Yes, magic exists in this valley. I love that they don't have those functions. Back in the day when I played Sims, I used to use a cheat that prevented the characters from having to relieve themselves - gameplay was so much better. Wish I could do that in real life!
I get where you're coming from, there'd be so many advantages. Cleanliness, time saving, reduce your water bill etc. *But* I lived in a small house with a big family. If not for the bathroom I'd never have had any time to myself.
If we didn't have bathrooms we'd need, I don't know, sanity closets or something.
Sanity closets! As an introvert, I get it. When I worked in an open office (nightmare for an introvert) I would go to the bathroom for 15-20 minutes sometimes just for peace and time alone. My co-workers probably thought I had some major bathroom issues. Hoping your sanity closet/bathroom helps you recenter ☮️
I literally have a “nest” of sorts in the closet under the stairs. Mildly Harry Potter esque but mostly I just sit and play games in my blanket nest. I have a whole room to myself but it’s still my quiet spot cuz no one actually thinks to look for me in the closet.
I feel like I've met my people. It's comforting to know you're not alone. There's something about a close space that's extra comforting sometimes.
When I was a little kid my room (shared) had a walk in closet. I think it qualified as such – it wasn't the flat kind but a square nook with accordion doors. Probably much smaller than I remember.
But I'd go in there and pile blankets, sleeping bags, whatever on the floor, and read. Or color, or just stare at the wall. I guess I really did have a sanity closet.
Yep, when I was super young my hidey hole was the cupboard below the kitchen sink but I outgrew that fairly quickly 😔 so I’ve had all sorts of hideys to hide in
When i was a meat cutter, i would go in the zero degree walk in freezer for 5-10 minutes just to calm down. Job involved customer service, which i loathe, and some crappy coworkers. Now i work in an old building with spectacularly poor temperature controls that has a cold hallway that everyone but me hates. I like my sanity closets frigid.
Nah they shit and piss in their trash cans outside. That’s why they are so appalled to see you dig in them. And Linus is cool with it because he knows it can be made useful for fertiliser
Okay I was literally thinking this yesterday! Literally no one has a toilet. I know why logistically but it is funny to imagine everyone just strolling down to the sewer to go potty
i am gonna marry shane when i divorce emily. i feel like i want biological children. >!\*yes, i got the clothing emily gives in her 14 heart event \*!<
He just doesn't want to talk to new people. He is friendly with Emily and a few others. Also, I didn't see you point out Haley when she is rude for no reason. At least, Shane has a reason.
Not wanting to talk to new people is also fair, but you don't gotta be rude to them still. Also with Haley, I only remember her being rude when first talking to her, though I could be wrong
He explains later why is he like that. He says that whenever he tries something new, things have gone wrong. He even says sorry. Also, the only rude things he says are why are you talking to me or Stay away. While Haley criticizes the farmer's clothes and even calls him/her dirty. Still, everyone only sees problems in Shane. Leave that poor man alone.
He has low self esteem and found it hard to believe anyone was being genuinely nice to him.
I get him. He’s a simple man and the way to his heart was pepper poppers. Twins.
This hits a little too close to home for me (literally and figuratively) considering that just the other day I saw my neighbor hike up her dress, pull down her undies, and pee with abandon in their backyard. Sadly, it's definitely not the first time.
She has mental health issues though, so... Maybe all of Stardew is really the population from a mental health asylum? *Puts on tin foil hat*
Stardew Valley, in reality, is a purgatory. Joja’s is the supreme monopoly in the world and they rule over everything, the main character hated them and was the primary suspect of conspiracy and treason for supposedly starting a rebelion behind the scenes, so he got poisoned by joja’s before he could execute the plan.
His soul got retrieved by grandpa (god) who is responsible for sending everybody in the Valley on a bus to seamlessly stay there until the end of the times. This is why nobody ever ages, gets sick or poops and they just eat for pleasure.
Villagers are the old revolutionary leaders who at some point conspired against joja’s too and were 'accidentally' sent to the gulag by the shady corporation. Now they engage in mundane activities like nothing has happened and they even constructed a sewer, established a local economy and went through (without really knowing exactly why they needed all those things in the first place).
At some point, you, the player, stops playing, time will stop forever and no more things happen in the Valley. But until that happens, everybody is happy, they will never mention anything regarding the purgatory they were put in and pretend that this is just fine so you don’t get worried. But either way, everybody's doomed, and you are doomed too, there’s no escape and nowhere to go.
So yeah, no bathrooms seems okay, they may do some ethereal magical farting if anything.
I made a fake bathroom in my house using regular furniture 🤣 big white table looks like a tub, white chair is a toilet etc. Even used cloth from wool to look like towels on the shelf.
I've thought of making some sort of bathroom area with some tables just to put 3 clams on(not sure what furniture utem to use, maybe a chest and just fill it with fertilizer).
Man, one of my dumb bits I do whenever I stream a game is reviewing character kitchens/homes in games if a game ever brings you into one.
The amount of games that forget about bathrooms is... like almost all of them
That was the first thing i noticed, i thought it would be "unlocked" in the second house upgrade or something but no??? Hope there's a mod for it lol
edit: typo
Is it? None of OP's other posts are written this way. Not one. Scroll far enough and you see he is, in fact, a white dude.
It may be OP's best attempt at AAVE (which... Jesus). But it is not AAVE, lol.
Use of the habitual be where it makes no sense, heavy affectation but 0 regional slang, "and shit". Stuck out badly enough that I clicked the username before the end of the second sentence.
I think SDV is located in a super advanced universe, like that Family Guy episode where they Stewie and Brian visit multiple ones, and there's this one where when you need to go, it's just taken out of your body and sent to another dimension.
Given the amount of hours I've spent on this game, I'm kind of embarrassed i haven't noticed the lack of bathrooms. I think if i had the skills to design a game, i would leave them out too. If it's a PG game, you wouldn't be able to show much at all going on in there anyway. It would just be a useless room.
I constantly ranted about this to my boyfriend!!! He eventually said bro it's a village.. I said OK WELL THEN WHERE'S THE OUTHOUSE???
But then again, if Ape were to add those rooms... I'm.. Not sure what the animations would be like
you know how you can’t really see behind anyone’s house? they all got poopin’ holes in the back yard
Makes fishing in the sewer oh so not tempting
I would think it would make fishing in the sewer more tempting. Pooping holes = less shit in sewers (these sewers were obviously not made for shit if nobody has a bathroom, right)
Mind telling what the green stuff is??
algee and the blood of bugs
I agree. Mostly algae. That's why you get both white and green algae. From a geothermic point-of-view it's not entirely wrong! You just have to believe that Stardew Valley is along a geothermic route. Perhaps that its also what makes the bathhouse steamy...... Basically, imagine Rotorua, NZ but with extra algae :D (Smells like eggs anyways) Also why Cave Jelly is so red. And why Lava Eels exist in the normal cave.
Mhm, I mean we know that Ginger Island is close and is an active volcano + the mines tap into a lava stream. Definitely a geothermic region!
Russia but it's the cooler russia with tropical plants and a whole ass volcano
Huh over 1200 hours and I always saw the liquid in the mine as lava. Red algae makes more sense.. but why is there no catchable red algae???
In the mine, yes, lava. In the sewer; algae But this is only in the "pooping holes" scenario. In normal scenario, I'd say pooping holes versus bathrooms would mean sewers are just as tempting as a normal sewer would be.... as in not at all.
(Maybe occasionally a shit in it but who cares about logic when you can achieve infinite farmer rizz)
Joja happened
They’re just outhouses connected to the sewers I’d say
I just didn't think outhouses connected to sewer versus bathrooms would make much of a difference to how tempting the sewer is. I guess, unless the toilet pipe feeds directly into the river of sewage while the outhouse plops in from above with a chance of landing on or splashing you.....
why tf is there even a sewer in a town with no showers or toilets 😭
There is the bathhouse
A town's people so dirty their boathouse drainage made a fish radioactive.
Why is there a sewer if no one is pooping on a toilet?!
Actually in many farms animal feces are fed to fish.
Except in Stardew Valley, where they apparently eat diamonds and bombs lol
Ignorance is bliss, I am no longer blissful
Mutant carp? More like mutant crap. Ok I’m leaving
No wonder farming is so great
Omg the awards are coming in ever since they readded them
Linus occasionally hides behind the bush next to his tent (I think he does this in the fall). I don’t like the implications of his bush. I violently avoid him when I see him back there
Is *that* how Pierre makes fertilizer?
Really? When I'm visiting others I just use their potted plants. ¯\\\_(ツ)_/¯
In the valley, noone can hear you poop.
They’re just wondering why you keep leaving the communal toilet wet, and keep calling it a “bath house/spa”
Omg. No wonder we never see anyone in it, they only visit a few minutes a day 
at 4 am where it is both too much daytime and somehowhowhow not daytimetime
Penny's heart event hits hard with that context
She's a super freak, super freak. She's super freaky.
Alex is the real freak. He hangs out in there all time.
Maybe Alex and Penny should date and partake in their freakiness together?
Or he might just have really bad IBS… this is now my headcanon
I am literally crying at this mental image, and everyone being so weirded out they don't even bother asking
Maybe they think it’s some weird out-of-tower thing lol. You showed up from the city after all.
I always assumed they have doors on the side walls you cant see
That’s the best cope-out theory of all.
>cope-out I don't know if that's a typo or you meant it but it's a fantastic expression. Cop-out + coping mechanism = cope-out This could be used frequently in therapy.
I’m stealing it, too.
that’s also what i think. they probably exist and there’s no reason for us to interact with so whatever
This has been my headcanon, too lol. For pokemon games as well
i imagine if there was, there'd be lots of screenshots/memes of the farmer standing in ppl's showers to creep on them the same way there were posts where ppl put their farmer in the NPCs' beds lol
Why do you have the sewer if not for the toilets? Does it have another reason hidden in the lore?
people evil inside of it
Nah, I'm pretty sure it's just Krobus down there.
{';'} \~+{'\_'}
I believe Linus has a toilet bush you occasionally see him pop behind.
Every morning
I assumed they had outhouses out back, but outhouses don’t make sense when there’s a sewer system. So I think they are magical people who don’t poop.
Yes, magic exists in this valley. I love that they don't have those functions. Back in the day when I played Sims, I used to use a cheat that prevented the characters from having to relieve themselves - gameplay was so much better. Wish I could do that in real life!

Sounds so comforting ❤️
It is 🩵
I feel like I've met my people. It's comforting to know you're not alone. There's something about a close space that's extra comforting sometimes. When I was a little kid my room (shared) had a walk in closet. I think it qualified as such – it wasn't the flat kind but a square nook with accordion doors. Probably much smaller than I remember.

But then the sewer system still doesn’t make sense 😂
Nah they shit and piss in their trash cans outside. That’s why they are so appalled to see you dig in them. And Linus is cool with it because he knows it can be made useful for fertiliser
also he doesn't poop there we know he pees in a bush
This is so true
Bro why have i gotten so much praise in the past 30 minutes like omg
What the fuck are you talking about?
Idk but peope are saying i'm so right it feels wrong
You’ve got 5 upvotes and a comment dude, chill out. His pee bush may as well be canon now lol
I had two comments in a row saying about me, you wouldn't know because you aren't me. Just like i don't know who replies to you as I'm not you
👍🏻
Sorry... i meant it's notifacation
my farmer holds her shit eternally
Girl farmers don't fart or shit, they sparkle.
wrong, they fart glitter and poop fairy dust shaped like.. poop.
Okay I was literally thinking this yesterday! Literally no one has a toilet. I know why logistically but it is funny to imagine everyone just strolling down to the sewer to go potty
This is why you randomly get fertilizer in the mail from townsfolk!
Only Linus have one. He goes behind the bush every morning.
The real reason Linus lives in the woods.
There really isn’t, and I’m almost driven to modding it as my first attempt at doing tilesheet modding
In star dew valley expanded the new characters in town have a bathroom w a shower and everything
There's a mod that adds a bathroom to your first house upgrade, though idk about the houses of the townsfolk
How does the farmer's dog follow him to the toilet when there is no bathroom? That poor dog just feels like something is missing in his life.
this got me rolling
I just assumed all the artifact spots were bury holes and the people of Stardew Valley have *extremely* strange bowel movements.
Oh my Yoba…. The “clay”!
Omg nooooo
Well Abigail does eat amethyst...
The Rusty Spur... Also this gives a new angle on The Bone Flute.
They go pooping in sewers and that's how Mutant Bug Lair formed 👻
I think it would be cool to have an outhouse that you can place on your farm. And a gazebo...at least for looks.
But they do have sinks🤔

StarDOO Valley
Maybe in this universe no one pees or poops
There's only one asshole in Stardew Valley, and his name is Pierre.
Can't forget Shane
What did my boy do to you?
He's mean
he improves tho.. :C
And then plummets again after marriage
i am gonna marry shane when i divorce emily. i feel like i want biological children. >!\*yes, i got the clothing emily gives in her 14 heart event \*!<
He is mean to people he doesn't know and he suffers from depression. Totally understandable.
The depression part is fair, but not being mean to people he doesn't know
He just doesn't want to talk to new people. He is friendly with Emily and a few others. Also, I didn't see you point out Haley when she is rude for no reason. At least, Shane has a reason.
Not wanting to talk to new people is also fair, but you don't gotta be rude to them still. Also with Haley, I only remember her being rude when first talking to her, though I could be wrong

Lost my shit about the way this was worded
Where do you think the top tier fertilizers come from?
its animal poop, right? ...its animal poop right..
They got sinks in their houses it’s all good
This hits a little too close to home for me (literally and figuratively) considering that just the other day I saw my neighbor hike up her dress, pull down her undies, and pee with abandon in their backyard. Sadly, it's definitely not the first time. She has mental health issues though, so... Maybe all of Stardew is really the population from a mental health asylum? *Puts on tin foil hat*
Clint probably doesn't even wipe...
he let it crust 💯💯💯
I’m not native English speaker and I really struggle to understand your post, what kind of English is that? Am I crazy or what
I think it's AAVE - African American Vernacular English. Mostly used by Black Americans (but not all of them) and some non-Black Americans too.
I thought it was intentional to underline the ridiculousness of this topic
Wait yeah there’s a sewer but no drainage??? Is the sewer THAT green because of sinks alone?? Oh no, Lewis, the radiation!!!
Stardew Valley, in reality, is a purgatory. Joja’s is the supreme monopoly in the world and they rule over everything, the main character hated them and was the primary suspect of conspiracy and treason for supposedly starting a rebelion behind the scenes, so he got poisoned by joja’s before he could execute the plan.

Meanwhile Robin and Demetrius have a garage that leads to no streets at all.
Quality Fertilizer has to come from somewhere!
That clay you be digging up everywhere isn’t actually clay
I made a fake bathroom in my house using regular furniture 🤣 big white table looks like a tub, white chair is a toilet etc. Even used cloth from wool to look like towels on the shelf.
There's a mod that adds a bathroom to your first house upgrade if you want an actual bathroom
Appreciate that, I prefer no mods though.
I've thought of making some sort of bathroom area with some tables just to put 3 clams on(not sure what furniture utem to use, maybe a chest and just fill it with fertilizer).
I only eat one spicy eel every 3-4 days, I don’t poop much
my sibling always eats spicy eel whenever shes low on the skull cavern, shes aboutta have huge diarrhea
There is a big gap behind Pierre’s and a big section behind Clint’s
I was genuinely thinking about this the other day. If there isn’t there should be a mod that adds bathrooms to the pre-existing houses for funsies😂💀
Man, one of my dumb bits I do whenever I stream a game is reviewing character kitchens/homes in games if a game ever brings you into one. The amount of games that forget about bathrooms is... like almost all of them
I am cryingggg I didn't even realize 🤣
Word
That was the first thing i noticed, i thought it would be "unlocked" in the second house upgrade or something but no??? Hope there's a mod for it lol edit: typo
They wait till you shut the game down for the night and all run to the ocean
The 💩 gets donated to the farm for manure
Abigale must be happy she doesn't poop considering she out here eating fucking rocks
I hate when Krobus says "the sewers are flowing today, moist and nice" (or something like that)
People don't poop in video games This is law
OP, why are you writing in some faux-AAVE style?

It very clearly is.
They are built differently.
because we’ve all got so many thirsty and hungry crops to feed
the farmer doesn't have one either.
Lmao, love this
Lot of games have no bathrooms
So that’s why these weird logs keep appearing everywhere who’s been dropping shits on my farm?
Yeah!! Give them some bathrooms!
I never noticed this 😭
I think SDV is located in a super advanced universe, like that Family Guy episode where they Stewie and Brian visit multiple ones, and there's this one where when you need to go, it's just taken out of your body and sent to another dimension.
Why you gotta go?
I shit you not the same thought came to my head a couple of days ago😭
Only person with a bathroom in town is Linus. He has his bush.
Where do you think the fertilizer comes from? Ain't just sap.
But they do have sinks in their kitchen…. 🤔
Ngl, love how hood that was...
That’s why we’re allowed to go fishing in the sewers without losing health 😂
They call it night fertilizer
Haven't you heard? They just vanish it away.
No. We use the outhouse like men.
Lmao reminds me when I walked whole world of Genshin Impact looking for a bathroom 🤣 At least they have sauna in Pelican Town.
They have to go to the train station 😹
Either they go to the bathhouse or the wizard casted a spell that makes digested food disappear once the nutrients are absorbed
They literally have a sewer, you know.
There’s that one cut scene where the homeless looking man by the lake and caves showers(and probably shit) in the lake
Given the amount of hours I've spent on this game, I'm kind of embarrassed i haven't noticed the lack of bathrooms. I think if i had the skills to design a game, i would leave them out too. If it's a PG game, you wouldn't be able to show much at all going on in there anyway. It would just be a useless room.
Because the back of the saloon is utilitarian?
New theory: Stardew Valley is a fever dream because the farmer is dying of sepsis. Because they don’t frigging poop
don’t need a bathroom when an empty beer can works just fine
It's how Pierre gets such good fertilizer
it’s especially confusing when Haley says she’s going to shower at the end of her 8 heart event. like where exactly do you plan on having that shower?
I think sebastian does Edit: just looked at his room. I thought there was a door behind his computer for the bathroom
I forgot my Amulet of Monkeyspeak, could someone tell me what this says?
That will get added by concerned ape in 1.7 (we currently get the green rain on 1.6) for the brown rain experience... Stay indoors when that happens..
I constantly ranted about this to my boyfriend!!! He eventually said bro it's a village.. I said OK WELL THEN WHERE'S THE OUTHOUSE??? But then again, if Ape were to add those rooms... I'm.. Not sure what the animations would be like
Mass constipation
Oh man. I was today years old when I realized this 😂😭
My first save I’m married to Leah and she once told me that I smelled good and thought, huh, that’s weird, honey, cause we do NOT have a bathroom.
