Keep your animal happy (and maximize production) like so:

• Pet once a day


• Make sure she has enough food


• Let her outside if the weather is warm


• Make sure she is secure at night


• Purchase a heater to counteract the unhappiness of being inside all winter

As always, the updates that keep coming to Stardew Valley look great. Very excited to jump in and try in what looks like to be the most involved farming sim RPG i've ever seen.

As always, when a release date drops you will be the first to know.
