Side tracking Stardew Valley for a moment but for a good reason: if a game is good, you keep playing it. I still play to this day games over twenty years old because those games do something for me.
Stardew Valley is a good game, that can keep on giving. So... why stop enjoying it?
I just found that desert mine far too intense but the only or primary source for something important….star fruit , ? I can’t remember . There have been loads of updates. I was playing 6 or 7 years ago
