I literally always go the joja route for the auto petter
Sweet, these are perfect for my joja takeover farm!
I always thought that Joja would try to do something against the player or Pierre, since in one of the dialogues of Lewis says that the impact of the farm is befict to the villagers and always thought that Morris would visit you at yor farm or try to sabotage you by selling seeds to a lower price or something, but no he's just there existing and ignoring everyone else.
give Morris a gun when fighting pierre
I figured shane would like joja bluu in that mod since the heart event with clint and emily is an ad for joja bluu XD
So strange that people miss the point of Joja like this. Your local Walmart doesn't sell better food than your local farmer's market, they sell more food. Joja is supposed to be convenient. It's supposed to be mediocre. That's how it's taking over. It takes time to raise quality produce, but Joja doesn't care. That's why there's no unique little things, touches of the community like in the bundles. Joja doesn't care about you and it doesn't care about the town. They only care about money.
It would be neat if you tried to turn Joja crops into seeds it would either not let you, or incur some other kind of reprisal, a la Monsanto.
Install all these mods. Still never step foot inside.
May be more "realistic", but a lot of us love this game, because it's different from reality and slave driver companies won't win all the time…
IMMEDIATELY RECOGNISED THE ELEVATOR MUSIC. help
If you live in a farming xommunity you will know the local stuff is cheaper and better quality.
About Joja seeds, I think that as a consequence of buying bio-engineered crops, this would prevent you from turning Joja-crops back to seeds, just like a real life Monsanto. (Technically, monsanto only enforces you not to replant via an agreement, since this is a game with magical elements, I think we should go one step further)
I love the more joja cola mod, first one I installed from the bunch
Mod Idea:
– Actual Membership
So instead of just paying them money to rebuild stuff everything you purchase from their store adds up to the totals
– At the last day of each season all seasonal items are discounted by a large amount
– Joja has a different discount items every week that are significantly cheaper than Pierre's and you can check them via the telephone as well (I'd say generally the prices are higher tho. Otherwise there would be no incentive to buy at Pierre's)
– Joja same day delivery
After aquiring a certain membership level Joja will offer delivery for members. You can order via the phone and it will arrive in your mailbox within the next 1-2h.

– Also like the idea of Joja seeds but I feel they're missing a catch
I'd say they're cheaper, grow in more seasons and grow faster, but they will never be better than silver quality max. Also maybe some stuff that is also a favored gift becomes just liked or normal if it's Joja
– Once a year Joja has their own event in town aka an anniversary in the season you completed the warehouse
– You can marry Morris and your farm becomes mansion with lots of space and interesting stuff, but all your animals and everything you build will be removed. You gain big amounts of money daily but you can only plant anything in the greenhouse
Also your grandpa will haunt you once a year.
And maybe with that you can visit the city?
I know everyone's always like "Joja should be cheaper than Pierre's! It should make your life worse to avoid them because Realism!" but personally, I'm glad that's sequestered in mods. I don't want to escape capitalism by playing a realistic capitalism simulator 😭
The fruit from the Joja seeds sell for less money, but for cheaper seeds, it might still get the same profit? I haven't exactly done the math for it, but that's something to keep in mind.
I love stardew valley but it bothers me SO much that stuff at jojamart is more expensive than it is at pierres and the prices don't change if you buy the membership. Like that's both unrealistic and just. Bad writing
0:21 Comunity center propoganda
“Yeah but Joja cant make my dad come back so Joja is bad!”
1:08 I recognized that on the spot, holy shit. That game was my childhood.
it is definitely a powerful move to go through the effort of installing a joja mod just so you can heroically resist using it
I feel like the problem with modding this in is that it's no longer are natural choice/decision you'll have to make.
currently, the only thing making joja a threat is pierre being The Worst lol
I have an idea years ago that Stardew Valley’s ads and marketing should’ve framed a Joja as the good corporation. Or at least showing a joja playthrough. That way, it creates a sort of brand recognition that the protagonist would likely already have.
4:25 bro just gonna skip over the fact that joja berries increase max energy (tho now typing this i assume it's like a temporary buff)
Toon Town elevator music was not something I was expecting to hear today what the frik?
I have a mod that makes the music in joja the rickroll music
So zero mods that actually turn Joja into a threat, nice lies video. Threat means a threat of closing Pierre store and collapsing valley economy, maybe even locking out player from some world areas due to restricted Joja zones, forcing some NPC to leave valley entirely. An increase in pollution and garbage in ocean, fish price reduction – that would be threat.
I did the joja route first. I still can't to the community centre 😂
0:51 my soul left my body when i started hearing toontown music
I love peirre beating the shit out of Morris or whatever his name is
should make it so that joja crops don't work with the seedmaker
Unless joja is selling stuff at a 75% discount I still ain't going too much walking time don't got the patience for it
None of these actually make it harder to ignore Joja though. Pierre needs a price increase to blanace this out.
The Only Reason I choose The Center IS MAN IS SENT TO SPACE
honestly the joja crops giving more stats makes no sense. if anything they should give less stats but be faster to grow
and here i was just siding with Joja to stick it to pierre all these years xD
And besides, you get still have both stores and the reward for completing the community center is a disappointment..
They really put the toontown elevator music in! That is amazing
stardew is unrealistic because it's a small town in western washington and nobody is on herioin, you can be gay without having your teeth knocked in, and demetrius and robin weren't lynched for miscegenation.
An easy thing to that would it ab actual choice
Put Joja Mart closer to the farm than Pierre's, and the prices are cheaper.
As it is. Its further and more expensive.
Do there's no reason to use Joja
This Joja mod are huge buff for Joja Mart + Cola
Dev should add this feature, screw Pierre I want support Joja
Joja Bluu should actually give a stat decrease, since in a certain cutscene, Shane films an ad with Emily and Clint for Joja Bluu. When Clint drinks the stuff at the end of the ad, he keels over.
"There are a few changes you'll notice right off the bat."
Me who never even set foot in Joja before.
The thing about this is I'd still choose to go against joja mart purely because I hold grudges and they're working conditions suck same reason why immediately kill anyone supporting the imperials or thylamore on roads in Skyrim
The fact the Cafe Joja mentions cold-brew drinkers and it gives +2 speed makes me think of the queer stereotype that The Gays™ love iced coffee and speedwalk everywhere (I'm more of a "tea and laze about" kinda queer, but that's just me).
Corporations don’t undercut because “they can” in the sense that they outsource etc. they do it so that they can create a monopoly and then raise prices back to “normal” and then even beyond because that area is now stuck.
Think Amazon, think audible. They aren’t really producing anything, they’re just profiting from a monopoly status brought about by years of undercutting other companies.
I just noticed the Store sign says "Joja Corn" instead of Joja Cola…
In real life monopolys will always win no matter if you help them and local buisness could get alll of monopoloys advantages if they were not outcompeted and the system helped them and not be in favour of rich men how do not care about the people like morris and pierre how would become like joja cola due to his b s
