Raising animals in Stardew Valley will require you to have the appropriate building for it, like the barn. Having a barn allows you to raise cows, which reliably provide milk, so long as you take care of them. But if you really want to maximize the value of your barn animals, you will want to upgrade the structure. Upgrading the barn unlocks new animals, increases the number of animals you can have, an auto-feed feature, and more. Here are the details on how to upgrade from the base barn to the Big Barn and Deluxe Barn.Every barn upgradeThe fully upgraded barn can hold up to 12 animals.Base BarnBefore you can upgrade your barn, you will need to build the base version first. The barn can be built by purchasing it from the Carpenter and providing the necessary materials. The barn takes up a 7x4 space on your farm, which will not increase even when you upgrade the barn. It takes three days to build. The required materials are 6,000G, 350 wood, and 150 stone. The initial barn allows you to purchase cows from Marnie's Ranch for 1,500G each, and it can hold up to four animals.Big BarnThe next version of the barn is the Big Barn. Upgrading to the Big Barn requires 12,000G, 450 wood, and 200 stone. Upgrading the barn only takes two days and it is still usable during this time. The Big Barn can hold up to eight animals and allows animals to get pregnant. It also unlocks goats, which can be purchased for 4,000G from Marnie's Ranch. Goats produce goat milk every two days.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Ubisoft has delayed two of its upcoming games. As part of the company's earnings announcement, the French publisher revealed that the mobile games Rainbow Six Mobile and The Division Resurgence are no longer expected to release in the company's fiscal year 2025. That means they won't be released until some time after March 31, 2025.The development teams are using the additional development time to "ensure that these experiences deliver on expectations." Ubisoft added that it's hoping the extra time can help its teams "optimize" each game's key performance indicators "in the context of a demanding yet very large market."Rainbow Six Mobile is, as its name suggests, a mobile version of Ubisoft's popular tactical shooter series. The Division Resurgence, meanwhile, is a free-to-play spin-off of the shooter franchise. The delay of these two games comes not long after Ubisoft canceled The Division Heartland as part of the company's examination of its strategic investments. The Division 3, however, remains in the works.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Look, up in the sky! It's a bird! It's a plane! It's a post-Prime Day sale on the Superman movies starring the late Christopher Reeve! Normally $135, you can get the Blu-ray collection of all four Superman movies in 4K for just $65. The film series kicked off in 1978, and with these Blu-rays, you can watch Superman foil Lex Luthor's real-estate schemes, face off against his fellow Kryptonians, and find out just how much of a mean drunk the last son of Krypton really was. See at Amazon Superman: Movie-Collection On Blu-RayInterestingly, this collection also includes the Richard Donner Cut of Superman 2, which most fans consider to be the superior version of the sequel. It's a long story regarding why there are two cuts of the Superman sequel--creative conflicts and budget concerns behind the scenes being some of the culprits here--but Donner's version adds more substance to the story overall. While the rest of the film series hasn't aged quite as well, these are still classic Superman movies and Reeve was effortlessly charming in all of them.If truth, justice, and a better tomorrow is a little too optimistic for your superhero tastes, you can also check out some of the Batman Blu-rays on sale. The Dark Knight Trilogy directed by Christopher Nolan has been discounted from $71 to just $30, and that's a terrific price for Batman Begins, The Dark Knight, and The Dark Knight Rises.

Many of the most important machines you use in Stardew Valley to turn raw crops and animal products into artisan goods have to be crafted. Most of the materials to do so are pretty common, but some, like oak resin, take a large amount of time to acquire. Here's how you can get oak resin so you can start stockpiling.How to get Oak ResinFrom left to right the trees shown are Pine, Oak, and Maple. Oak and Maple look pretty similar, but Oak has smaller leaves in a larger quantity.TapperOak Resin is acquired from Oak Trees by using a tapper.

In Minecraft, a Beacon is a block that allows players to gain helpful status effects when paired with a pyramid. It can also help players find their base, as the Beacon shines a beam directly into the sky. To see the entire crafting process for the Beacon in Minecraft, check out the guide below.Making a Beacon in MinecraftWhile the Beacon does require some easy materials for its recipe, it's certainly not considered an early-game item in Minecraft. It only becomes useful after players create a pyramid made of different metals and features one mid-late game resource that's quite difficult to come by. You can see the exact crafting recipe for the Beacon below.Beacon crafting recipePlace five Glass blocks, three across the top row of a crafting table and two on either side of the middle boxPlace a Nether Star in the middle boxFill out the crafting table with three Obsidian blocksThe crafting recipe for a BeaconHow to get ObsidianGlass blocks are extremely simple to obtain, especially if you follow our previous guide on getting them. The Obsidian is also easy to add to your inventory, but only after you've crafted a Diamond Pickaxe. To produce Obsidian, all you have to do is run a water source over a source of lava. This is usually done by pouring a bucket of water over a pool of lava, as each block in the pool is considered a lava source, making all the blocks turn to Obsidian. However, you can only produce Obsidian wherever there's lava, provided you have some water. The difficult part is Obsidian can only be mined using a Diamond Pickaxe, so you'll have to get one of those before you can even think about getting Obsidian.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Turning your crops into artisan goods in Stardew Valley can increase how much they are worth and is one of the best methods is turning fruits into wine. Creating wine requires special equipment and time, but it does boost the sell price of these goods pretty drastically, especially if you have the capacity to do it in large quantities. Here's how to make wine--and more money in the process.How to make wine and kegsPlacing fruit into a keg will produce wine after 7 days.Wine is made by placing fruits into a keg and waiting 7 days for it to process. A keg can be made using 30 wood, 1 copper bar, 1 iron bar, and 1 oak resin once you reach farming level 8. Any fruit turned into wine is worth 3x the base value of the fruit.How to make high-quality wineAll fruit becomes normal quality wine, so using high-quality fruit won't increase the value. If vegetables are placed into kegs, they will turn into juice, with a few others turning into specific items, like hops becoming pale ale. If you have the artisan profession, wine is worth an additional 40%.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Apex Legends' Steam page has been inundated with negative user reviews following the announcement that Season 22 will feature two battle passes. Prior to the July 8 announcement, the game was earning roughly 150 to 300 negative user reviews (and a similar amount of positive user reviews) daily. But in the days following the announcement of the battle pass changes, the game has earned a total of 35,035 negative reviews, dropping its score for the month of July to "overwhelmingly negative." Only 1,997 of the user reviews posted since July 8 are positive.Starting with Season 1: Wild Frontier (which launched in March 2019), Apex's battle passes have stuck to an unchanging recipe. Each season has featured a new battle pass with 110 levels of cosmetics and in-game currency for players to unlock after purchase. Previously, Apex's seasonal battle passes cost 950 Apex Coins ($9.50 USD) each, though players could spend 2,800 AC ($28 USD) to automatically unlock the first 25 levels of the battle pass. But starting in Season 22, Respawn will be releasing two 60-level battle passes per season, with the first battle pass launching alongside the new season, and the second arriving at the season's midpoint.Starting with Season 22, we’re evolving the Apex Legends Battle Pass to improve your experience and progression goals.Read on to learn everything to know about the upcoming changes or check out the infographic below to learn more. 📃: https://t.co/kg5NhlFfVq pic.twitter.com/i516ktP9ma — Apex Legends (@PlayApex) July 8, 2024 Additionally, there's been a price change: Each battle pass will now cost $10 USD ($20 USD for the upgraded version), and battle passes will no longer be available to purchase with Apex Coins, a change that players are especially displeased with. Previously, each battle pass included enough Apex Coins to purchase the next season's battle pass, meaning that once players purchased and completed a single battle pass, the next season's pass would effectively be available for free, provided they didn't spend their Apex Coins on something else.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com
