They just released a new update and dealt with some food crafting balances, thank you for your videos! It has helped me a lot.. I hope you make one on romance becuase I can't figure out how to start romancing people.
Unfortunately that update today caused some havoc for me, most of my food crafting machines have reverted back to their original recipes but it's an excuse to start yet another save. I will eventually be making a video about the relationship stories, found a mod to help me out so that I'm able to start relationships with any of the characters and so far it's working well. What I can say about romancing so far is that it's based on the gender expression chosen during the character creation, when we filled out the Squirrel IM social profile. The characters which can be romanced have a range and if you fall into their scale they'll date you. To start dating we have to select the "Confess" option when it comes available, if you have a high enough friendship level with them they'll say "yes" or sometimes decline dating if they feel they don't know you well enough. If they're out of the gender expression range they'll tell you that they don't think of you in that way. Sometimes those characters which are interested in you will ask you out, I've had Hideyo do it to me 3 saves in a row. Activities to raise friendship levels includes talking to them daily, completing hangouts and giving them gifts. You can also ask them if they need anything, which often prompts a new quest for the item they want, which can be sent through the post office. To see your friendship status with characters go to the Squirrel IM, then look for the contact phone book at the bottom, the NPCs will show icons of an acorn tree in it's growth stages to indicate how well you know each one of them. A green acorn for brand new, a brown acorn for just developing, sprouting, sapling, tree, ect. For people who are romantically interested in you it will show one or more butterflies. Hopefully this can help get you started in romancing, if you're interested in the mod that makes everyone available you can find it at Nexus Mods but that's a use at your own risk kind of thing. I haven't had any trouble with it regarding my saves, but I'm not a coder so I don't know what it's capable of changing in the game script.
@@theoriginalanimeker Yes, although from my experience the butterflies usually only show up on a 3 or so of the squirrel IM contacts when there's more NPCs that will still agree to dating. So even if you only have 1 or 2 profiles with butterflies it doesn't mean those are your only options. On the official discord there's a table spreadsheet where people have been trying to decode the character preferences and ranges. Each number on the gender scale falls within a range of preference for the characters, there are multipliers on some. So it explains why I get asked out by Hideyo so much, there's a 3x multiplier on the gender number I selected. Chances are your number falls in a range for at least 7 or 8 options but it just make take some longer than others to show interest through butterflies.

@MissMaserati Thanks, so even at friends (acorn or tree) I will see butterflies on Squirrel if I fit thier gender expression wants?
