Yeah I too love all the benefits for 26g day, a sum I wouldn’t pick up off the ground after Spring Year 1.

Shane hates working joja and, while he doesn’t get a new job, he does help Marnie at her ranch.

As a meadow farm owner with over 50 animals need to be pet daily, I desperately need Joja to switch their business model. I’ll gladly buy autopetters with triple the price, delivery fee included. They don’t need to set up store in town to sell stuffs do they?

But if you do the joja route, do you get to see Pierre and Morris >! Fist fight? !< asking genuinely because I just got that cut scene and it was just too good.

Having grown up in a Walmart-devastated town (and witnessing the process first-hand) no level of convenience is worth it, even if it is just a video game.
Worst part is that the Walmart set up shop in the part of town that *requires* a car to get to (unless you *like* walking two miles each way on the narrow, unprotected shoulder of a 50mph road) and it *still* managed to push out all the independent shops in the walkable portion of town.

I enjoyed playing a Joja run with SDVE mod. It adds more story and exclusive contents to the Joja route making it more interesting

I take the Joja route in Stardew and torment Arasaka in Cyberpunk to make up for it. Perfectly balanced, as all things should be.

The only reason i would wanna go joja is bc of the autopetter. Thats it

It is hard to support small businesses when the one business owner u gotta support is an asshole. But, I love the Junimos and I yearn to help them and keep the town from growing too corporate.

“The movie theater replaces the warehouse when it is built and that is an actively useful purpose for the town park compared to the community center which doesn’t serve the PLAYER”
That’s where i’ll stop you. Because yes it serves the player, but the community center has a crafts room and a community pantry where people can share food with each other. It’s about the community. And yes we might not see the kids and Penny using the crafts room, but I think that’s a small detail that the game is lacking rather than something that the community is not benefitting from. Not to mention that seniors like George also benefit a lot from crafts which entertain them and keep their dexterity and challenges their mind in their later years.
Pierre is a monopoly being the only store in Stardew Valley, but it’s not that big of a deal when you think how small the community is. He’s not becoming a billionaire by selling what he is selling to a small amount of people, not to mention that as the community grows in population it’s inevitable that someone will also build their business to compete with Pierre. With us helping Willy build his ship, some of the townies’ purchasing power also goes towards seafood and the boat fare.

Related, I’ve been tossing around this idea of a Joja fan challenge where the idea is to spend as much money on Joja upgrades as possible. This includes the Joja community development form, buy all possible walnuts from the Joja parrot, and buying as many perfection waivers from the cave guy as possible. Final score is however much money was spent on these things

I will never let Joja win. No one but me can win capitalism in the valley.

I only consider joining them based on whether or not I know what my Farm’s endgame theme is going to be out the gate. If I’m running a pure animal only farm for example, I’d choose Joja so I avoid having to grow crops or plant fruit trees. Or like the time I chose to do an orchard Winery Four Corners Farm, I chose Joja to avoid having to build coops and barns. Knowing what I know now, there are many ways to get around producing Community Center items on the farm and just buying or finding them but I lack the patience and long term memory to actively track that on top of juggling the farm chores and development.

None of these benefits are actually any good. Every single one is about turning off your brain and becoming a soulless.

Unironically they need to update the game so that after like let’s say 2 in game years Pierre shuts down and jojad price go up by like 50% while laying of one of the workers, show the actualy reason joja seems good at first
RealMaledetti on
You forgot the biggest advantage. You can skip the animals with their petting and milking and picking up eggs, and upgrading a barn and a coop just so you can complete the CC.
My next run, and all the runs after it, will be 100% Joja, and 100% farm animal free.

Thankfully we have mods but i totally agree doing the community center should give way more rewards, even if more dialogue with the villagers
____ozma on
I’m doing my first Joja run and I’m not very far into it feeling like “well why do I have all of this crap”. So many items don’t seem to have a purpose so my tendency to horde everything is useless.
But I focused on the greenhouse early and that felt pretty good. Once I’m doing things for Mr Qi and have the island I will probably feel more fulfilled. The community center drives so much of the gameplay it’s like its own whole new struggle to figure out what to do each day.

People complain and try to argue farmer left the city to escape the caputalist JoJa life…but then become capitalist farmers? And it’s not like they work for JoJa anymore, so the goal is still met.
JoJa is not that bad. People are just stubborn and equate it woth badness. They are not.

A totally devious idea I once thought up to really throw a wrench in the Joja/Community Center choice: Put Joja at the bus stop, so you have to travel past it to get to town. All the mentioned benefits PLUS being closer? just imagine.
