I play a stupid amount of Stardew on my SteamDeck.
It's also just nice being able to play my Steam Library on a portable device and having my Cloud Saves available as well, I'm a big "like to game in bed or on the couch" kind of girl.
Do you play with any mods? I gave up trying to play Stardew Valley on the deck because it literally took upwards of 20 minutes to load the game, because of mods.
I play with Stardey Valley Expanded and a few other cosmetic mods and the load of time is about 20 seconds. I did try to add some other big content mods that add more people and towns and yeah, the load times made me hold off on those for now.
I don’t, I’m a Vanilla Stardew Enjoyer, but if I tried anything it would just be Stardew Valley Extended.
That might take some tinkering though.
That’s really cool! Do you know if it’s possible to get cloud-saves on emulation games as well or is Steam games the only way to go?
There's no built-in mechanism for cloud-saves for anything but Steam games that support Steam Cloud, but there is OpenCloudSaves for other games. Takes some setup, but the community will usually pull through for issues like this.
There was a recent post here, that has heaps of links and stuff related to the Steam Deck, too.
Build a home server and find someway to auto transfer files to it every so often and export those files every so often
Personally I just share a folder on my gaming rig and then use a backup tool to save my saves to my rig, then save them back to my deck
All running windows due to a lot of games with anticheat not working
