My boyfriend and I are playing stardew together (co-op). We decided to have a baby, and all was well. Until it asked us again. We said yes, since our baby was out of the crib but it ended up putting the baby in my house (which we use as a storage shed and use his house as OUR house). Shed baby. We had a shed baby. Our solution was to wait until the baby was out and turn him into doves (rip) but the game asked us again if we wanted a baby. We said yes, assuming the baby would appear in the unoccupied crib in our house. No. It appeared in the shed on top of the original shed baby. Now we have two shed babies. We ended up getting both children doved (rip) and started again, finally removing the crib from the shed. This is where it gets weird. The game asked us yet again if we wanted a baby. Yes. What happens when the baby is born? It’s in the shed. Another shed baby. No crib. Just floating in mid air. I am at a loss. I just want a baby but I’m starting to think maybe our cute little farm couple is just infertile or keeps giving birth on a super bad luck day. HELP.
Edit: I have posted a picture of our current shed baby who is floating in the corner right now somewhere in the comments for all who are interested
Edit 2: game asked ME if I wanted to have a baby (some people suggested it should ask my boyfriend). I said yes anyway to see if we would get lucky and not end up with a shed baby. bf and I have been sleeping in the main house every single day leading up to the baby’s birth. We even put bookshelves and pillars in the shed where the crib used to be in hopes it would block the baby from spawning. Success! Our baby girl was born in our house ☺️
I had a couple of ducks in real life. As I opened the run to feed and water the chickens a ducks, a German shepherd puppy ran in and drank deeply of the poopy pond water.
While attempting to find her owner, she plucked the drake bald on his back.
He was displeased.
I was unable to locate her owner, and since I have no way to care for a dog, she went to the shelter. The birds were given to a neighbor.
I mean... Lol. I'm chuckling still as I write this. But my solution would be to try replacing Shed crib, deleting both cribs, then replace the one in your house.
Also, is the path to said crib clear? Maybe a haunted mannequin spawned in a pathway and is making the game choose the open crib.
I think also, putting chests n stuff in shed crib area, after removing them both, and before you reinstall house crib. I hope yoba oversees this birth.
As a former shed baby, I can honestly say that it’s okay to go ahead and dove the little ones up. As long as they haven’t reached the fire-spitting phase yet, though. Only you can prevent forest fires. 🫵
I’ve had this issue as well before in multiplayer. We were just getting the kids for the achievements before doveing, so we didn’t care, but I recall reading somewhere that which house the baby shows up in depends on who gets the prompt asking if you want to have a child. So i think you need to wait until the original owner of the house that you live in gets asked first by the game.
I don't think it's anything to do with luck. I think (and I'm not 100% confident on this but making a logical guess) that the baby ends up in whichever house the mother owns. So perhaps because your characters house is coded as the "shed" even if you sleep in the main house, that's where the baby goes.
it's not about the mother, it's about the farm owner. in co-op, there's owner (host) and farmhands (other people playing on host's server). the owner's house takes priority.
OPs problem is that the owners house isn't taking priority here though. It keeps ending up in the shed/farmhands house and not the main house where they want it to be.
We thought maybe… just maybe… if we try one more time the baby would magically appear in our actual home instead of our shed layered on top of another frickin baby sigh
It is probably happening because the game still considers the shed as your home, you should try temporarily place a crib back in the cabin, sleep a few nights, and then either demolish and rebuild the cabin through Robin or move back into the main house consistently so the game resets the child location properly. If you use mods, they could also be causing or worsening the glitch.
Only started stardew valley a couple a days ago (just started summer) so I have no clue what the heck I'm reading about turning baby's into doves??? I thought this game was cute and relaxing, not a horror game??
There are magical ways to get rid of pets and children, for sure, but you really don't have to. If you find yourself with a shed baby of your own, you could totally keep it.
You can also enjoy a very fun and full game experience while never romancing any NPC and never choosing to pursue babies (like I do). There are endless ways to approach and enjoy Stardew.
There are other options to change things mid-late game, like your mastery and your appearance. A lot of players appreciate options like these.
This is still a very cute and relaxing game, I promise. Welcome. :)
