almabrds: After hearing about bugs with save files, I did this (I suggest you do the same):
I've opened C:\Users\*your user name*\AppData\Roaming\StardewValley\Saves and copied the files to another folder, to make a backup.
I don't mind losing a day due to a bug, but I don't want to lose all the progress because of corrupted save files.
I recommend having a folder for 2 different days in-game, just to be extra safe (Who knows what may trigger a bug. You don't want to copy a save which is already "doomed". Having multiple saves, you ensure that you won't lose precious progress).
And just because we are lazy people, here a little batch script i wrote to do this:
@ECHO OFF
XCOPY "%APPDATA%\StardewValley" "%USERPROFILE%\Desktop\StardewValley - Saves" /E /G /H /I /Y
You just have to put the content of the quote in a file that you name "Backup Stardew Valley.bat" (for example) and save with the bat extension. When you lauch it it copy all the files from
C:\Users\*your user name*\AppData\Roaming\StardewValley\ to your desktop, if you want it to save it elsewhere, just change the second argument between " ". And if you want a restoration script too, just reverse the order of the arguments between " ".
If that can help o/
