Stardew Valley Player Automates 1,000 Years of Sleep, Wakes to a World Overrun

Weeks of turbo-assisted sleep caused crashes, controller drift, then a town blanketed in rare spawns.

Overview

  • Reddit user Holozard left a Nintendo Switch running for over three weeks, using a turbo controller and a hair tie to re-enter bed repeatedly.
  • The setup produced nine system crashes during the attempt and left the controller with severe stick drift.
  • After the millennium skip, Sleepwell Farm and much of town were engulfed by weeds, giant mushrooms, meteorites, owl statues, and debris covering locations like the square, the Community Centre, and Joja Mart.
  • Farm animals persisted because the coop door was left open, though screenshots showed chickens labeled as grumpy and a little thin.
  • The player reported a three-season cleanup and significant gains, including plentiful purple rocks and nearly half a million gold from mushrooms.
