I can't believe Eric stole years of my life!

If he thinks all these free content updates will make up for it, well he's probably right.

I think my wife and I have around 200-400 hours combined. I forget as we’re having played for a while. It was a really big lockdown activity for us as we were not married at the time and she left the city to stay with her parents.

He's about to steal more of it from me. I've been waiting months for 1.6 to start up a new save. Been holding out on playing sv on my steam deck instead of pc.

It was a bug

Stardew Valley creator Eric Barone confirmed today that there is in fact a bug that caused left-to-right harvesting to be faster than right-to-left harvesting, and it's going to be fixed in the big 1.6 update coming out next week.
