You now just need to combine them into sheeple trees. :)

(Which isn't even a concept I made up! Though the term borametz is perhaps more commonly used.)

I looked those up, had never heard of them! Self-sufficent sheep? Very curious.

I do think it could be quite fun to make a farming game with terrible mythical animals and plants. Bonnacon herd, borametz plantation, could have the lotuses from the Odyssey as a crop option, etc.

I'd definitely play that! Imagine some kind of Exile Princes aesthetic crossed with Stardew Valley mechanics: you're a farmer minding your own business and then one day due to some random wizard's curse all your animals and crops get transformed into mythical menaces. You somehow have to make a living as a farmer and fulfill your clients' demands while constantly battling out-of-control magic and keeping the town from being trampled by the bonnacons.

If you ever want to develop THAT game, hmu because I'd totally be up for helping you (I can't make games, but I know how to research Things and maybe do some terrible art for it). :)

Apple trees: 86!

Sheep: Still 84. Will I get to 100? Stay tuned!

Yep something like this is quite on my list! Though I think I have at least two other games higher on the list so I might get to this by the time I'm in my forties...

I'm patient :-D

Apple trees: 100!! Is this Peak Styrianity?

Sheep: Still 84.

A barn is currently under construction so I can get another dozen sheep. I had to have another silo built in the meantime because those 84 sheep consume a lot of food. I also have one cow, one pig, one goat, six rabbits, two ducks, six chickens, and one dinosaur/lizard (who also need food)...

Jubal

What does the dinosaur... do, from a farming perspective? And is it in fact a dinosaur or a lizard?

It is in fact officially a dinosaur but it is so small I also call it a lizard (her name is Lizardine). It gives you dinosaur eggs.

I know absolutely nothing of Stardew Valley, but I do know an awful lot about dinosaurs.

You originally get your first dino egg from a "monster" drop in the mines, the so-called Pepper Rex (see Stardew Valley Wiki). Then you can put it in an incubator in your coop to get the mini version of it which you see in my screenshot. It's really small! The Pepper Rex is bigger though, approximately 6 times the size of farm dino.


Jubal

I think that's a tiny Stegosaurus though if Phoenixguard feels differently I'll defer to his judgement!

I would agree, looks quite like a stegosaur. The plates should be paired, two rows along the dorsal line and probably staggered rather than a single row as depicted in the game.

Very early reconstructions of Stegosaurus itself had a single row (pretty sure Marsh's original description suggested as much) but we know now this was incorrect.
