no because what really terrifies me about Stardew is that the fucking maple trees produce syrup year round. forgetting the fact that they produce syrup without you having to boil sap to make it, maple trees just shouldn’t be able to do that. they have different growth functions that operate at certain times of year as they cycle through the seasons and sugaring season is only for a small window of time between winter and full-fledged spring. too cold and the sap won’t thaw. too warm and the tree starts diverting energy to budding, which means all the sugar you find in the sap during sugaring season is going towards leaf growth. little to no sugar = bitter yucky syrup/no syrup. for sap to keep running, you have to have days just above freezing (32-55ish degrees F) and nights below freezing (anything below 32 degrees F). which means this is either how Pelican Town is year round or something else is afoot. and those maple trees would never have leaves if their sap was always sugary enough to be boiled into syrup, which means they would like die within idk a week? a month? without photosynthesis. they simply could not sustain themselves unless they had some other magical mechanism performing cryosuction for them while they also grow leaves and photosynthesize in the warmer months. and they’d need so much more fucking sugar. what are these trees, living thermoses? i just. i get it, it’s a game. but climate-wise, what in the fresh fuck.
