[gloomy linden]

fair it’s been like an in game 3 seasons

[finite canyon]

it took like 5 days for mine

[tulip fossil]

damn unluckky

[gloomy linden]

which seems excessive but ig just really REALLG unlucky

[tulip fossil]

im at a family of 5 its 7 kids total right?

[maiden fiber]

8

[tulip fossil]

wife isnt a kid

unless theres a 9th quest

[maiden fiber]

I know she’s not?????

[tulip fossil]

i was checking you didnt mean 8 quests total

because the first quest is for a wife

[maiden fiber]

8 kids

[bleak current]

the achievement pops after 8th quest but the quests continue forever

[maiden fiber]

Good to know thanks

[tulip fossil]

im guessing the family stops growing then

[vale schooner]

Sam working at joja is new right? i swear he was unemployed

[tulip fossil]

no

he always worked at joja

[vale schooner]

weird I've never seen him 😭😭

[tulip fossil]

he works at the museum after cc too

[maiden fiber]

He’s more part time

Shane is full time

[vale schooner]

it might br because I used to play on switch with a lower resolution or smth? my new monitor is much bigger and I'm noticing new things now

[fickle knot]

Do trees grow in winter?

[tulip fossil]

yesnt

with tree fertilizer only

fruit trees are unaffected as their growth is always based on number of days passing and not rng chances

[hot bramble]

Is Angler or Pirate more worth it for this update? I normally go angler but it may be more worth it

[tulip fossil]

depends pirate is signifcantly more interesting now with gold treasure chests

you can actually get quite a bit of money from those as a lot of the extremely valuable treasure items are much more obtainable in gold chests

[maiden fiber]

Angler stacks with smoked fish

So I’d still stick with angler

[tulip fossil]

thats trhe other side

they both got things that buffed both professions

id say unless you want to farm smoked lava eels pirate is better imho

[chilly bloom]

I mean pirate only gets buffed post mastery

At least to the level it would be considered viable

And by that point you have the sewers so I’d just stick to angler straight off the bat

[tulip fossil]

fair enough

the point is they are still both viable like they were in 1.5

[hot bramble]

Im still early game, just barely into summer now

Fair points though thanks

[tulip fossil]

given junimo kart was made easier how long until a new endless world record do yall think

unless its already been beaten i dont religiously follow junimo kart record scores

[chilly bloom]

If you continue to fish into the lategame yeah

Which you are now incentivized to do

[tulip fossil]

given treasures cna be put into fish tanks now as decoration im glad gold fishing chests made them much more obtainable in bulk

[arctic haven]

My favorite feature.

[tulip fossil]

i realized after i sold all the ones you get easily for free

[tulip fossil]

CA slowly letting you put more hats on things

1.7 you can put a hat on your house

[arctic haven]

He's getting more unhinged. Here for it

[tulip fossil]

he broke on drinkking mayo we can wear him down on anything

[arctic haven]

Pls give us jousting CA I'm begging

[chilly bloom]

You know you already can right?

Or were you joking

[tulip fossil]

wait hat oin the farmhouse????

[arctic haven]

I am so confused is that a thing????

[tulip fossil]

you dont mean tricxkery of putting a mannequin behind the house or some shit?

[chilly bloom]

Oh I thought you said horse Lmao

House now that would be wild

[maiden fiber]

LMFAO

[arctic haven]

I am crying 💀

[chilly bloom]

Hathouse > hatmouse

[arctic haven]

Aye poke

[tulip fossil]

okk you had me questioning everything

[arctic haven]

We should be able to fix hatmouse's house

[tulip fossil]

i mean if horses and pets can get hats...... then all my coop and barn animals need hats NOW

[arctic haven]

He is holding this game together, he is an INSTITUTION

[tulip fossil]

i still need to look at the new hats

[deep lagoon]

Why is it green

[tulip fossil]

heheh

thats not a modded thing

have fun

[arctic haven]

That's for me tomorrow. I still need one dwarf scroll. Literally the first one. I need Dwarf Scroll 1, the one that's easiest to get. It eludes me.

[chilly bloom]

Green rain

[deep lagoon]

The acid rain

[tulip fossil]

it will feel modded trust me its not

[tulip fossil]

its mossy rain but the villagers year 1 act like its the apocalypse

year 2 onwards they are chill with it

[arctic haven]

This is good to know, I'm happy CA made that streamlined

[deep lagoon]

I dont blame them about it tbh

IF it started raining green here suddenly, I'd tweak out LOL

[tulip fossil]

my favorite part is demetrius out in a hazmat suit getting samples and robins like "does he not cared that im worried we are gonna die"

[arctic haven]

I have words that describe Demetrius and none are friendly

[tulip fossil]

im still not used to the even year festival layouts

i went to the luau and was thrown so off by it being like flipped

and was so confused by the different egg locations

its cool the festivals have different layouts for every other year

but its weird

[arctic haven]

I have never been to the luau because every time it comes around I've already planned to go raid the mines and I make the choice to follow my plan

[vapid furnace]

Junimo Kart is easier?

[tulip fossil]

a few changes were made

1. coyote time was added to the jumps

2. whale shoots less bubbles

[vapid furnace]

Nice

[tulip fossil]

3. glowshroom grotto farting mushrooms now only fart once instead of 2 in a row

idk if theres others

[vapid furnace]

If I had to take a guess as to a possible change.
Checkpoint locations

[maiden fiber]

What’s the first one mean

[vapid furnace]

Since when I was playing with the Archipelago randomizer mod, I ended up having a checkpoint that was right next to an edge, and couldn't jump in time

[vapid furnace]

Basically, it's a buffer to your jump

[maiden fiber]

Oh okay

[vapid furnace]

If you jump a few milliseconds after running off a ledge, you still jump

[tulip fossil]

cayote time is a platformer term to refer as a buffer period you can input a jump when youve only been ungrounded for a few frames

[maiden fiber]

Interesting. Thanks

[vapid furnace]

Similar to how you can press the jump button slightly before you hit the ground, but the game still lets you jump once you do hit the ground

[tulip fossil]

or if you enter your jump input slightly late it will still accept it

[maiden fiber]

That’s nice 😭

[tulip fossil]

many of the most famous 2d platformers have this mechanic

celeste is the big example i can think of

[vapid furnace]

They coyote timer may have saved me with the bad checkpoint placement I said earlier

[maiden fiber]

I may try it then

[tulip fossil]

i thinkk the whale and glowshroom changes are the biggest changes to make junimo kart easier but the coyote time is a huge deal too

those 2 levels used to suck and be rng hell

[slender valley]

how many fish does cc fish tank hold?

[tulip fossil]

exactly 5

[slender valley]

hooray

[vapid furnace]

This one guy made a video, here's the thumbnail.
The dotted outline parts are where the cube guy jumped, but the game still accepted it as a jump. First jump happened right after they ran off the edge, and the second jump happened just before they landed on the ground.

[tulip fossil]

if you are thinking what i thought good for you

community legendary fish tank

[maiden fiber]

Oh tysm this made it more clear

[versed glade]

I would love to see joja workers on my farm

[tulip fossil]

part of balancing coyote time is making sure its not too many frames of a buffer so it doesnt feel cheaty but it can lessen the moments where you would of went "why did it drop my jump"

idk where the name coyote time came from tbh

[chilly bloom]

Same

[maiden fiber]

Hm

[chilly bloom]

Idk where they’d go

[tulip fossil]

i just as a comp sci major who likes game design knew that was the term for the mechanic

[vapid furnace]

I think it comes from the term where coyotes or something can "jump" in midair. I dunno

Apparently it's Wile E. Coyote

Based on the common gag where he wouldn't fall for a few seconds when the ground got removed from beneath him.

[tulip fossil]

oh that makes sense

[keen jetty]

oohh

the patch notes called it grace jump

it'd be interesting to see joja ranchers instead of autopetters lol

[summer raven]

yeah the blanket term seems to be called coyote time from the old acme cartoons

[maiden fiber]

Jojamos

[summer raven]

grace jump sounds more term appropriate ngl

[maiden fiber]

Ya people might’ve been confused with coyote

[keen jetty]

i tried junimo kart yesterday, kinda insane how easy whale is now lol (previously i failed 90% of the time)

it shoots like a third of 1.5 bubbles

[tulip fossil]

i say coyote time because i know the mechanic from other games and thats what its called in many community i thinkk the confusion comes from stardew isnt drawing in people who play a lot of platformers as their primary audience

[maiden fiber]

Yeah I definitely am not a platform gamer

[small widget]

this is more an ask for help but idk where else to ask it

in 1.5 i was able to plant mahogany seeds on ginger island in the grass spaces but it doesnt seem to be possible in 1.6? and i cant find anything about in the patchnotes (cant add images :p)

[summer raven]

oh thats true yeah

for non platformers i guess grace jump will make more sense than coyote time, in a farming game

[maiden fiber]

Can add images in #images-and-memes until level 5

[small widget]

i need to get on my old save then lmao

posted them

[warped yew]

Frog Pets are op asf kill mummies big slimes unkillable insects and iridium crabs that are hidden lmfao

[regal fulcrum]

I'm partial to the Parrot given the profit Margin I'm set at; however, if there's no such profit margin setback...I'd honestly go with the Magic Quiver.

[hidden ore]

I like the ice rod for its nice truffle crab detection feature 😆 no more jump scares for me!

[eternal linden]

I just found out something insane

[steady narwhal]

Can't kill mayor lewis' pants though

[maiden fiber]

I’m curious about this. Can you test please

[steady narwhal]

So they bad

[maiden fiber]

I didn’t think there would be a margin for parrot

[eternal linden]

With the movie theatre, you can get someone from 0 hearts to full in a week

[hidden ore]

how? can't you only see movies once a week?

[maiden fiber]

You can get to full hearts in a single day if you had enough teas

[eternal linden]

True but this is with only 1 tea

[keen jetty]

how tho

[summer raven]

what

[maiden fiber]

Stardrop tea’s are spammable

[summer raven]

the pink tea thing are spammable?

[maiden fiber]

Yes

[summer raven]

alright time to farm the f outta that

... it only comes from tickets?

[maiden fiber]

Raccoons/tickets

[regal fulcrum]

That's the point. Since I'm at a 25% profit margin, the worth of the parrot is 4x more than it would be if it's a 100% profit margin run since the ole' G is less to come by in a 25% profit margin run.

[summer raven]

i should finish the racoon then

[eternal linden]

Basically you talk to them every day, give three iridium tier gifts (one birthday), stardrop tea on their birthday, go to a loved movie and give a loved snack

[maiden fiber]

Yeah I was asking if you tested already

[keen jetty]

does stardrop tea stack on bdays too? doesn't that mean you need 3 basically

[tulip fossil]

the ice rod also makkes flying enemies easier

[eternal linden]

3 plus another 250 points

[tulip fossil]

yes stardrop tea is affected by the birthday multiplier and you can still give another birthday gift

[keen jetty]

ooh that's crazy lol

[keen jetty]

nono as in can you give 3 "birthday" teas

[maiden fiber]

Not sure if you can spam multiple teas on birthday

Would be easy if could tho

[tulip fossil]

2 stardrop teas + an iridium loved item is enough i believe

on the birthday

[maiden fiber]

Cool

[tulip fossil]

an iridium loved item is just under 4 hearts on the birthday

and 2 stardroip teas on a birthday is 6 hearts

[hidden ore]

sometimes... but sometimes it freezes them out of reach and you have to just stand there and wait for them to unthaw 😄

[summer raven]

cant wait to see someone drawing the villagers guzzling the tea and then becoming best buddies in one day

[nimble turtle]

how do you get stardrop tea from racoons

[tulip fossil]

after the 4th quest i believe its a 1/3 chance to be the reward from every quest

[maiden fiber]

Doing quest after 5th one

[nimble turtle]

k thanks

so far got the racoon hat plus the book and mixed seeds

[maiden fiber]

Also chance from golden treasure chests

[vapid furnace]

I gave the tea to the dwarf once, asked if it was milk and said it was good

[small widget]

also
does anyone know why i keep getting house plants as drops from monsters?

[maiden fiber]

New feature. Clothes and furniture can drop randomly

[nimble turtle]

i keep getting them from mayor lewis ticket machine

[vapid furnace]

I think furniture and clothing is now something that can randomly happen

[small widget]

oooooooo

[vapid furnace]

According to this one guy, an entire birch chair fell out of a tree or something

[small widget]

that explains a lot

[nimble turtle]

hey i was happy when i got the iridium chest plate chopping a tree

[keen jetty]

i've been getting a ton of clothes from sc now

[nimble turtle]

also can you combin combined rings now?

[keen jetty]

nope

[maiden fiber]

No

[nimble turtle]

dang

[hidden ore]

even stardew has limits

[tulip fossil]

why would that be allowed that would be way to brokken allowing 2 omni rings with every ring effect

[night jackal]

whats the best thing you can get from derby

[regal fulcrum]

I killed an enemy and the parrot procced 250G drop.

[keen jetty]

imagine a combined combined combined combined combined ring

[maiden fiber]

Nice lol

[nimble turtle]

whats your favorite ring combo

[maiden fiber]

Double iridium double lucky

[tulip fossil]

i found a gold slime without a parrot that dropped 500g

[keen jetty]

i can't live without savage and burglar

[hidden ore]

iridium + slime charmer/iridium + burglar

[tulip fossil]

burglar/savage iridium band/lucky

[keen jetty]

🤝

[night jackal]

qanyone

[nimble turtle]

i normaly do burgler/lucky and iridium/slime

[small widget]

rn im using hot java/slime + iridium band/burglar

[keen jetty]

a limited hat

and mounted trout i think? i'm not sure if you can get it elsewhere

[nimble turtle]

well back to playing for me

[keen jetty]

have fun!

[silver dagger]

I was so close 😭

[maiden fiber]

Well at least you won’t be charged lol

[vapid furnace]

Make sure to pet the kitty

[tulip fossil]

its fine you arent charged if you are inside the hhouse

[vapid furnace]

Prioritize the cat, then sleep

[tulip fossil]

you still get an energy penalty i believe but will not be charged for passing out

[hidden ore]

tis one cute kitty for sure

[spiral bronze]

the diamond is probably the most valuable, I would argue that a mounted trout is more fun though

also mystery boxes and omni geodes, because gambling

[vapid furnace]

I got a tent kit once

[spiral bronze]

in general this mini event is more geared towards early game when it comes to rewards

[vapid furnace]

... never managed to use it since I put it down in front of Skull Caverns, then promptly passed out

[spiral bronze]

tent kit is always the first reward you get from derby

[hidden ore]

maybe so you can sleep there and start again the next day at 6 am

[cerulean quartz]

Does anyone know when the update comes out for Nintendo switch players?

[maiden fiber]

No

[spiral bronze]

that would make most sense

you can just save it though since trout derby is really close to the farm

[vapid furnace]

I don't really like the idea of using a tent kit, since I feel like it's "wrong" to not start your day at the farmhouse

[hidden ore]

I saved mine and haven't used them... I usually do skull cavern runs after I do my daily chores on the farm so no sleeping over in the desert or any of that

[vapid furnace]

Heck, it even feels weird waking up at Ginger Island, because I know need to hurry up and get back to my regular farm to do the various tasks I needed to do there

[spiral bronze]

I used it to stay for 3 days on ginger island to explore

[spiral bronze]

I just abandoned my farm for half a week lol

[hidden ore]

yeah I slept over on the island once when doing intial setup of crops, no way to get back fast at the point and I had forgotten a farm totem. otherwise I go there after main farm stuff too

[split parcel]

I'm playing a new game, when should I try to get the dehydrator and smoker?

[spiral bronze]

I don't really care now that I'm generating 100k daily

[hidden ore]

my spouse and my animals always come first.

[vapid furnace]

I do see it's value on Co-op though, since then I would feel safer knowing that my friend can keep watch on the farm while I lose our life savings paying Harvey for a Skull Cavern medical bill.

[naive cape]

Needing battery packs in spring is just... the worst feeling

[hidden ore]

I feel like these are most useful early game. the dehydrator for example can do wonders with the regular salmonberries in spring

[spiral bronze]

feed pam copious amounts of alcohol

NOW!!!!

[mellow atlas]

Does joja bird track on perfection chart

[split parcel]

They're also a big expensive for early game, should I aim for them then?

[hidden ore]

lemme see what they need again, I forget

[mellow atlas]

I want to use the bird but if it doesn't track the walnuts I don't want to do it

[maiden fiber]

Wdym track. It finds them all

[hidden ore]

not too bad, you're going to be trying to descend quickly in the mines anyways so that's the fire quartz, the other stuff is completely doable

[spiral bronze]

both are useful for the entire game but dehydrator becomes kinda redundant when you stop using berries and cranberries for income

[naive cape]

Imma just cash in my jade and wait for a good luck day so I can just start a skull cavern run at level 50. See how many bombs I can buy from the dwarf with 160k

[spiral bronze]

there are still mushrooms for the dehydrator which gives it a use even late game

[split parcel]

I see I see, alrighty I'll get going on my mining

[hidden ore]

fi you get the mushroom cave it has a free dehydrator Ibelieve

the fruit cave does not (and I always choose that one)

[vapid furnace]

I didn't even keep track of the date, especially since I don't know when St. Patrick's day happens. I just theorized to myself "What would cause a rainbow to appear?"
Well, it being a rainy, then sunny day, could potentially cause a rainbow to appear. Right?

[hidden ore]

spring 17 every year 🙂

[split parcel]

I normally go for mushroom so that's pretty nice actually

[spiral bronze]

btw is it just me or are normal bombs better than mega bombs? I'm not even talking about it from money perspective I just find that a bomb is plentiful enough destruction while mega bombs are an overkill that almost always damage me

[wintry maple]

the dehydrator is pretty bad tho.

[spiral bronze]

lies btw^^^^

[wintry maple]

no

[regal fulcrum]

Let's go!

[hidden ore]

autopetter?

[spiral bronze]

autopetter

[regal fulcrum]

autopetter!?

[wintry maple]

it takes 5 to give you 7,5x money. preserved jars will give you a total of 10x for 5

[hidden ore]

if you're trying to do bulk processing of berries (low quality) and fast, dehdrators are very handy to get that gold in your pocket sooner

[spiral bronze]

it's not about money, it's about time, the amount of time saved by a dehydrator gives you SUCH a big money bost earlygame when you're farming blueberries and cranberries almost 100% of the time

[wintry maple]

what? you farm melons and pumpkins in earlygame and preserv them.

[spiral bronze]

it gives you money so much quicker allowing you to invest in so much more

[wintry maple]

if you go 100% blueberries maybe

[fickle knot]

hi can someone tell me what are the best uses of oak resin maple syrup and pine tar?

[split parcel]

[maiden fiber]

Wouldn’t even say it’s about that… more so depends on how many crops you have

[spiral bronze]

well we don't do the same thing earlygame ig

I preffer blueberries and cranberries

[split parcel]

I use berries

[naive cape]

idk when I do skull cavern Im aiming for bats so Im speedrunning so big boom = good lol

[wintry maple]

sure but early game is about getting as much money as you can for your time. preserved mellons are just the king of that in the summer.

[maiden fiber]

If you harvest the amount of crops equivalent to kegs then no point in dehydrating. But if you have a large amount of a crop that’ll take forever to maximize profit on, dehydrator is great

[spiral bronze]

then a dyhydrator will be a great investment

[hidden ore]

I mass produce oak resin early on for kegs if I'm going to do wine on thie save, or maple syrup for bee houses if I'm going to do honey

[naive cape]

96 mega bombs in one go woo

[fickle knot]

thanks. what about pine tar?

[split parcel]

That includes strawberries too?

[sage whale]

I use them for Loom and Rain Totem

[maiden fiber]

I made around 250k a day dehydrating ancient fruit with 40 machines

[split parcel]

I'll keep in mind ty!

[fickle knot]

thx

[wintry maple]

sure. but it's really easy to get a ton of preserved jars early to put melons and pumkins in them.

[maiden fiber]

You’re welcome!

[hidden ore]

I guess if you want a lot of speed gro and can't get it another way, pine tar is your goto, also it's used for rain totems, I usually only ever need 4-5 to craft one of everything though

[maiden fiber]

I’d rather keg those personally. Since they have a long grow time

[spiral bronze]

to some extent, yes, but strawberries produce only one with each harvest do it's not as great as cranberries and blueberries

[split parcel]

[wintry maple]

yes me to. but early game it's hard to get a ton of kegs due to it taking some time to get all the oak resin

[maiden fiber]

Yeah I personally don’t make any jars, but I see your point!

[split parcel]

well I'm still learning alot here so ty

[hidden ore]

my preserve jars usualy go to roe and such

[maiden fiber]

Same

[spiral bronze]

same, sturgeon and lave ell ponds go crazy

[wintry maple]

well yeah. but that only really work when you have a lot of fishing ponds set up.

[maiden fiber]

My 4c farm with 15 💀

[wintry maple]

4c?

[maiden fiber]

4 corners

[spiral bronze]

me who has a lot of fishing ponds set up:

[vapid furnace]

I usually tap the 3 trees at the bus stop, which is 2 oaks and 1 maple if I recall correctly.

[stray swift]

corner j

[vapid furnace]

Maybe 2 maples and 1 oak, I don't know

[hidden ore]

now that we get roe from fishing chests, you can accumulate a lot in not very long tbh

I have rather a backlog...

[spiral bronze]

that's also a good point

[maiden fiber]

I always got roe from the fish I didn’t need it from

[wintry maple]

ehhhh. it's not really worth it to go for that. imo there is many better ways to get money for your energy.

[split parcel]

I've played this game like 3 times and I've never gotten past year 1 it's so funny to me

[hidden ore]

if you're going to be out there fishing anyways, you might as well make use of what you get

[wintry maple]

sure but who's really fishing after reaching lv10 exept for when you need to catch every fish in the game

[spiral bronze]

fishing is a great money making source what the HECK

[hidden ore]

and the two derbies. maybe people who like the fishing minigame? 🙂

[spiral bronze]

have you even tried to use bait maker?

[shrewd loom]

how does this stuff work? how do i unlock it?

[maiden fiber]

A lot of ppl love fishing

[vapid furnace]

I'll give you the short version

There is a new bar in your skills screen

[hidden ore]

get to level 10 in each skill, then go back there

[spiral bronze]

you have to make grandpa proud

[shrewd loom]

i cant enter this room without lv 10 skills

[wintry maple]

sure. i also love fishing. but i don't see myself doing it just cause.

[fickle knot]

he alrdy has or else he couldnt have come in

[vapid furnace]

Fill it up by collecting experience through any normal task

[hidden ore]

oh. you already are, woops. so go harvest a bunch of ancient fruit and/or starfruit, then see 😄

[spiral bronze]

it's not doing it just cause, it's doing it for BIG MONEY! the BIG BUCKS!

[vapid furnace]

Once you fill it up, you get a "token" of sorts, allowing you to "master" one of the 5 skills. Giving you various tools, blueprints, and passive buffs related to the skill

[hidden ore]

yeah realized that about 2 seconds after sending my first reply, my bad!

[shrewd loom]

okay

[fickle knot]

np

[spiral bronze]

fishing is a way to earn the LETTUCE!

[wintry maple]

i know fishing can get you good money but idk about BIG MONEY!

[fickle knot]

is there a way to move a chest without emptying it?

[maiden fiber]

Nope lol

[hidden ore]

Lettuce move on from this topic shall we 😛

[fickle knot]

YUCK

[waxen bluff]

oh my! The green rain has come, and I'm loving it! It looks like some trees have transformed into special trees - if I cut those down will the original tree be gone too?

[shrewd loom]

what was the shortcut for animation cancel?

[spiral bronze]

there is, you have to whack it with a tool

[maiden fiber]

Yes

[shrewd loom]

actaully no nvm i dont want to milk the same cow 2000 times

[hidden ore]

depends. you can move it with hands a little in one direction each time, so if you're just moving it over some, you can do that. from outside to inside a shed, no

[fickle knot]

but nothing happens if it has stuff

[hidden ore]

1.6, it does now

[vapid furnace]

For example, the farming mastery gives you an iridium scythe which is great at harvesting hay, and can harvest any crop in a single swipe.
You also get a blueprint for a statue that gives you a daily buff, such as +1 luck, +0.5 speed, or 3 easy catches.
You also get a chance to collect an animal cracker from any source in the game (Usually killing monsters for me). Which doubles a farm animal's product.

[fickle knot]

uh

[shrewd loom]

u can push it arround

[maiden fiber]

Wdym with hands, like pushing it? ;o

[hidden ore]

1.6 patch notes, you can push or use a tool to move the chest one square

[fickle knot]

WOAH

I did it lol

[waxen bluff]

Bummer! I'm going to have a very empty forest in the morning - thanks!

[fickle knot]

thanks

[maiden fiber]

Which tool

[shrewd loom]

wasnt that a feature before?

[maiden fiber]

Nope

[sour hare]

As an aside, I love that fishing chests have a chance for roe now because I have a challenge file where I try to reach perfection without ranching/having any animals and there was just no way to get roe w/o fish ponds
Fun fact you can get Caviar in travelling cart but no Aged Roe

[hidden ore]

not the hands, no

[fickle knot]

keep hitting it with axe

[vapid furnace]

The mining mastery gives you a statue which gives you mining related buffs, an improved furnace recipe that can smelt 5 bars at once, and a passive boost which doubles all collected gems (minus prismatic shards of course) similar to how geologist works.

[maiden fiber]

Oh like multiple times?

[spiral bronze]

A tool if I'm correct, just chose a favourite one

[maiden fiber]

Thanks good to know

[spiral bronze]

with the exveption of the watering can

[hidden ore]

lol

[maiden fiber]

What if it’s against a wall though?

[fickle knot]

no once. So if you hit it from the top square it gets moved to bottom

[shrewd loom]

istg it was a thing already

[maiden fiber]

Ohhhh it prob didn’t work for me because of workbench

[hidden ore]

that would be pretty funny though. equip watering can, use, see animation of watering can bopping into chest and chest hopping over one square 😄

[maiden fiber]

It just kept doing a jump animation thing

[fickle knot]

unfortunately

yay for me lol

[hidden ore]

the tile next to it has to be empty and you need to be standing on the other side of the chest from the empty tile

[sour hare]

You had to use no tool and click a chestillion times for it to move, now it's faster

[maiden fiber]

Makes sense

[fickle knot]

OH

[maiden fiber]

Does giving carrot to horse permanently increase speed or temporarily?

[fickle knot]

when you hit in between the chests the one on the side got pushed left

[sour hare]

For the day

[maiden fiber]

Oh okay

Ty

[hidden ore]

I wonder what else you can feed the horse, hrm

[sour hare]

Can you feed it anything else actually
I thought not

[wintry maple]

can't you like feed it hay or wheat?

[vapid furnace]

I think you can hit a chest from an angle to try and get it out of a corner

[hidden ore]

given i do not have a horse on this save (😱 ) I have not tried

[brittle jay]

Thanks for the tip.

[viscid crypt]

you can feed the horse carrots

[sour hare]

I don't think so? I have a mod to give it treats but I think vanilla can't feed the horse but it could've changed

I think it's carrots only

[viscid crypt]

no, vanilla, you can give your horse one of the new carrots. but that's it

[vapid furnace]

Also, if anyone is curious like I was. You get the large stone chest recipe from the ||Dwarf||, presumably after getting the regular stone chest recipe. Which is a pretty good recipe ngl

Just a bunch of stone, that's it. No copper or anything

[maiden fiber]

For sure

[vapid furnace]

I just thought of something. What was up with those frogs in the 1.6 planned update image thingy

The blue, gold, and void ones

[maiden fiber]

Trinkets probably

[hidden ore]

so: dup a bunch of jade via crystalaria, swap for staircases in the desert, get a few deconstructors from Qi's walnut room, turn them back into stone, make a pile of stone chests for free? 😄

[sage whale]

Reforge the Trinket Frog Egg to change the color of the frog

[maiden fiber]

At that point I’d probably just buy the stone

[sage whale]

according to wiki

[hidden ore]

yes but that's not nearly as entertaining!

[fickle knot]

who should i prioritize with golden animal crackers?

[vapid furnace]

I think the big stone chest recipe is great when on Ginger Island, and you left all your materials at home

[vapid furnace]

I think I gave it to my cow first, since I needed the milk for the home cook (last) bundle

And I usually only have one of each animal

[hidden ore]

I just gave some to my chickens to finish up the gus omelette quest sooner

[fickle knot]

my god

[sour hare]

Sheep with shepherd and golden crackers are kinda cracked

[vapid furnace]

I do have 2 rabbits though

[hidden ore]

meadowlands farm and I have not even one of each animal (counting the different color chickens as separate "animals" for these purposes)

[fickle knot]

is there a way to stop these stumps from growing in my house?

i mean in my lawn

[maiden fiber]

Ostrich

[vapid furnace]

They are common enough to where choosing who to give it to isn't much of a problem, but rare enough to where I didn't get like 50 of them in a single mines run

[maiden fiber]

How much g/d?

[sour hare]

Golden clock lol
Have fun with the grind if you've never done it

[hidden ore]

pave the area, I don't know of another way. but these are free resources, you really want them gone?

[sour hare]

Ah no those regenerate

[sage whale]

Build something on top of it after you chopped them off maybe?

[fickle knot]

ooh good idea 👍

[maiden fiber]

Put furniture or floor tiles

[vapid furnace]

... I love the snow on the stump. I don't know if it's a mod, but I like it

[maiden fiber]

That looks new

[vapid furnace]

I feel like I have never seen that before

Especially when in the secret woods

[sour hare]

I forgor the math 💀
But I saw someone mathing and it seemed impressive, because now iridium quality wool will make double cloth, so that's 4x cloth per sheep per day with shepherd (and crackers)

[maiden fiber]

Wonder if it’s worth 10k profession swapping for artisan

[fickle knot]

i don't recall putting in a mod just to get snow on the stumps

[maiden fiber]

Wait that’s busted actually

Oop

[tough remnant]

I messed up, went from memory and then went "wait no, that's wrong"

[sour hare]

It's a bit more than 2k actually with rancher bonus and the crackers

[tough remnant]

It's actually way higher

[sour hare]

2.256g according to my math

[naive cape]

floor 120 new skull cavern record 🙂

[maiden fiber]

Sheep viable now? Sickkkk

[tough remnant]

2037g/d on average with crackers

[tough remnant]

Sheep were viable before

[maiden fiber]

Pigs still most profitable barn animal though but yeah I see how

[tough remnant]

Eh, pigs are less profitable per tile

[hidden ore]

that 2k a day is every day through winter too (and 50g per hay per day per animal is nothing)

[tough remnant]

Pigs actually need substantial outdoor space

[maiden fiber]

Mmmmm true forgot about winter

[hidden ore]

so you can put in rather a few barns of sheep if you like

[maiden fiber]

Is the 2k a day including the cloth processing?

[tough remnant]

Yeah, assuming you stick with shepherd though

[sour hare]

Yeah I think if you spec into sheeps they beat pigs by quite a bit now

[tough remnant]

If you profession swap it's higher

[maiden fiber]

Sick

[tough remnant]

Pigs still win in the earlygame

When you have lots of empty space on your farm

[maiden fiber]

Whatever gets me from not picking up truffles. Plus sheep cuter

Ima get a bunch on my farm now hehe

What about ostrich vs. sheep with golden cracker

[tough remnant]

But endgame, it's not really a choice between "1 barn of pigs or 1 barn of sheep", but rather like... "10 barns of sheep or 4 barns of pigs"

Sheep wins

[hidden ore]

loom can do a few in a day, if you do a run in the morning and in the evening 6 looms per barn, just stock up on the pine tar

[tough remnant]

By a rather large margin

[maiden fiber]

Kk

[tough remnant]

It was close in 1.5, but then 1.6 buffed looms for some reason

Sheep really didn't need a buff but they got a pretty massive one anyway lol

[vapid furnace]

Probably to make more "Ancient vs Star fruit" battles

[hidden ore]

might have to put in a barn or too later, just for kicks. we'll see. or perhaps that will be what I do on the next save

[vapid furnace]

Now it's "Pig vs Sheep" or "Smoked Eels vs Crystarium Diamonds"

[hidden ore]

on this and previous saves I make sure there's enough grass that animals only eat hay in winter/on rainy days

[sour hare]

We should have more patches like it for the chaos
"You think you have it all figured out and minmaxed? Well now uhhh... ducks are gigaop. hehe"

[hidden ore]

it makes people try out new playstyles, not a bad thing

[sour hare]

Keep us on our toes

[hidden ore]

well makes -> encourages really

[tough remnant]

But yeah, sheep are actually ridiculous now, they're almost as good as golden chickens on a per-animal basis

[vapid furnace]

1.6.4 - "Gifting a loved gift at maximum relationship to an NPC has a chance to give you a more expensive gift back in the mail"

[tough remnant]

If you have shepherd

[hidden ore]

I give Seb a frozen tear nearly every day. never get anything from him in the mail. of course he is my spouse 😛

[sour hare]

What do they mean by "more expensive" actually? Just a better sold price?

[vale quartz]

so all the festivals are different year 2? including the luau? i feel like it looks the same

[hidden ore]

the dialogue is different for sure, I can't remember about character locations

[vale quartz]

yeah the dance floor and the soup look swapped but i think its still basically the same

mannnn im restarting the day and going back to the mines lmaooo

[tough remnant]

Actually, huh. Sheep are better than golden chickens over a long enough time span if you're profession swapping, or if you're in co-op and have both Shepherd and Artisan

Per animal, anyway

[vale quartz]

im doing the dangerous mines in a week quest and i literally left at 1:30 to make it on time

but nah im jsut gonna spend the day lol

[hidden ore]

can you give a link to 1.6.4 notes? I can't find a reference to that patch anywhere @vapid furnace

[tough remnant]

Before animal crackers and not including feed cost...

• Golden chickens make 1187g/d with artisan, or ~1135g/d with coopmaster for much less effort
• Sheep make 1216g/d with shepherd + artisan (profession swapping or co-op), or 1043g/d with just shepherd

[hidden ore]

please add in animal crackers too

[sour hare]

That's kinda crazy

[tough remnant]

Animal crackers is literally just x2

[vapid furnace]

... I have my ways, and I shall not share my secrets

[hidden ore]

well -50g/day for hay is only one deduction so it's slightly more (ok maybe that is nitpicky)

[tough remnant]

That's why I excluded both hay and animal crackers lol

[hidden ore]

but we wants it alllllll...

[tough remnant]

x2 if using animal crackers, then -50 per day if paying for hay

[hidden ore]

with many barns I imagine you are paying for it, sure not using all of ginger island to grow wheat!

[sour hare]

Actual good strategy if you're going all in on ranching imo

[vale quartz]

okay i know this isnt 1.6 specific but when youre in the dangerous mines i know the lil mushrooms count for dust sprite kills for the adventurers guild and the bats count and such, do the spiders count for anything?

[sour hare]

iirc no because they're aren't replacing anything

[vale quartz]

thats what i thought

okie thank you

[tough remnant]

That said, if you translate that into a per-tile basis, and this time I'll include both animal crackers and hay...

• A Coop is 6x3, and with a 1-wide access path has an effective footprint of 24 tiles.
• A Barn is 7x4, and with a 1-wide access path has an effective footprint of 35 tiles.

This means that a coop of 12 golden chickens makes 1162g/d/t with artisan strats, or 1110g/d/t with coopmaster strats
Meanwhile a barn of 12 sheep makes 817g/d/t with profession swapping or co-op strats, or 698g/d/t with just shepherd

Notably, these are both way higher than any crop

[nimble turtle]

how are you doing catching fish if i might ask? do you have all the legends and stuff? and if so what year?

[maiden fiber]

Thanks so much for doing the math

[tough remnant]

But yeah, sheep are busted

[vale quartz]

yeah how does one perfectly catch the legendaries lol

[tough remnant]

They were already really good in 1.5

[steady narwhal]

Even better in 1.6

[tough remnant]

Practice and patience

[steady narwhal]

Problem is golden animal crackers

[sour hare]

Fishing buffs, cork bobber, practice

[tough remnant]

Not really TBH, the thing which makes sheep kinda busted in 1.6 is that looms got buffed a lot

[nimble turtle]

i have a golden cracker but i dont know which animal its worth using it on

[tough remnant]

Animal crackers buffed animals in general

[nimble turtle]

also from the statue of blessing i got a day with infinite stamina

[tough remnant]

But sheep are genuinely competitive with golden chickens and can even outperform them unless you're just filling your farm with a dense grid of coops

Cracker or no cracker

[sour hare]

There's also the fact that you get sheep way earlier than golden chickens so you can start the strats earlier with them

[maiden fiber]

What’s g/d without shepherd

[tough remnant]

Yeah, that's the reason it's sketchy

[tough remnant]

Like, half

[sour hare]

And that money snowballs

[maiden fiber]

Oof

[tough remnant]

Shepherd is critical

Because it makes sheep produce every day instead of every other day

[maiden fiber]

Mmmmmmmmm fuck. Now I wanna start a new meadowlands farm lmao

[steady narwhal]

Old but maybe could help

This is the strategy used to counter behaviors of fish. This strategy works for non perfect catches, but this guide is more biased towards getting perfect catches even on the most hardest fish. Even with the best equipment, it is not always reliable to rely on your equipment.

• Always have the fish at the near top of the green bar. This is because the speed of the green bar is slower than the fish dropping down than it is goes up.
◦ When dealing with fast fish such as catfish or sturgeon, drop after a certain period to get a head start. This strategy is best for fast moving fish and when it is at the top of the bar as often times it would drop down faster than the green bar could drop.
▪ Best recommend 2-5 seconds depending on the numerical difficulty of the fish.
• Rhythmic clicks are best when the fish is at the middle or bottom of the mini game.
• Long pulls are useful if you’re uncertain of the direction of the fish.
• Try to mix and match strategies to be effective.

For dealing dart behavior fish.
• Put the fish at the middle of the green bar to counter the random movement of the fish

For dealing with smooth behavior fish
• Most smooth behavior fish tend to go up and then down. Some species are more biased towards the top while others to the bottom.
◦ First movement is always up
◦ Second movement varies from species and individuals. Some are more biased towards going up again or down.
▪ If the fish goes up, then many times it would go down. If the second movement is up, then start doing long pulls and drop after a number of seconds depending on the speed of the fish.
• Put the fish at two-thirds of the fishing bar. This is to counter the fish on whether it would go up or down.

[steady narwhal]

Well getting them

[maiden fiber]

[steady narwhal]

Damn

[sour hare]

I am reading all that. I asked. I care

[steady narwhal]

Sorry I just woke up from a nap

[nimble turtle]

hm that actually helps

[maiden fiber]

Lmao I’m jk Chip

[steady narwhal]

lmao

I copy pasted from a document I haven't touched for a year

[hidden ore]

fishing blessing from the statue of blessings after mastery, makes the first three fish of the day "easy" like carp-type easy. maybe a quality bobber to try to weed out more boring fish, and curiosity lure too, adv iridium rod... then go fish

[nimble turtle]

i got 3 iridium quality lava eels 🙂

[hidden ore]

I went with neither of those bobbers but got lucky, the legend was literally the first fish on the line in the lake

[sour hare]

Become one with the Meadowlands. Join Us. Thrive.

Joja farm when

[hidden ore]

I assume but do not know for sure, that the order of fish appearing to be caught is not set to the seed, and so if you fail, you can reset the day and try again (statue blessings are set to the seed so it will still be fishing)

[maiden fiber]

My meadowlands farm is Joja

[sour hare]

Well I mean we've seen the sheep/chicken math and that's basically irl intensive farms
Pretty jojacore

[maiden fiber]

I wanna do a remixed CC meadowlands

[sour hare]

I did it and got literally no animal products in bundles except for a single truffle

[tough remnant]

I just spent a couple hours planning out my endgame for new main farm. Beach is a pain in the arse to plan compared to Four Corners

[sour hare]

So what's your endgame then?

[tough remnant]

45 coops of golden chickens

Plus other stuff, but figuring out efficient but also aesthetic building placement was hard

[vale quartz]

I guess that’s fair!

[tough remnant]

This is roughly the plan https://v3.stardew.info/planner/12-famous-snails-married-cordially

Some things missing because the planner doesn't actually have 1.6 stuff yet, and I also can't be bothered getting all the details right

I just cared about getting the building footprints right mostly

[rigid zinc]

If I reject my starter pet, can I still purchase a pet license from Marnie as my first pet?

[tough remnant]

Yes

After like, 2 years

[floral geode]

i'm pretty sure I saw a post somewhere about after a certain amount of days you can

Oooh 2 years then

[steady narwhal]

Not that bad to wait tbh

[sour hare]

Oooh I love the look of it

[rigid zinc]

Thanks!

[stark falcon]

is this new?

[brazen shore]

What is this dialouge?

Should i felch?

[sour hare]

That's the dialogue for completing Gus' special quest. No it's not new

[brazen shore]

Is felching a new processing machine?

[sour hare]

That's the name of your farm

[brazen shore]

Sorry my friend made it i didnt know ,im new

[sour hare]

Dw! But yeah it uses whatever your farm name is for that dialog "felching" isn't anything

[brazen shore]

Thank you

[idle ledge]

gotta wait for fall and winter and then i should have them all :3

0.1% drop from tiger slimes

hehe nice

lol that happened to me with the trash can hat

but ngl that sounds way more impressive lowkey

[tawny yarrow]

they are. my first playthru on ginger i got it early and realized after killing like 1k more i didnt see one

[idle ledge]

i dunno the maths for having two of those in one day but here

[vapid furnace]

What's the chance of getting the trash catalogue

Also, the broken TV is a scam... it's too broken

[nimble turtle]

I got two trash catalogs one in each year

[vapid furnace]

I think I got two pretty much back to back, both at the saloon

[idle ledge]

this is a bit more recent (so idk how accurate) but here is what the wikki says :O i havent gotten trash catalogue yet

[silver dagger]

uhhhh you can make mussel bait

holy crap

[tough remnant]

You can make all kinds of useless fish bait lol

You can bait your Legend

To boost catch rate of Legend... which you can't catch again

[silver dagger]

Mussels = mango saplings

[tough remnant]

Yes, mussel bait does nothing though

[vale quartz]

are trinkets only found in SC?

[steady narwhal]

Nope just fight enemies

[vale quartz]

heard chef

[silver dagger]

It doesn't increase your chance of mussels in crab pots? 😦

[vapid furnace]

Have you tried... putting it into a crab pot?

[tough remnant]

Nope

[vapid furnace]

In my experience, oyster bait made me catch more oysters

[silver dagger]

that's silly af

[idle ledge]

aww my friend found cute easter egg if you click the jumino on your profile multiple times

[vale quartz]

i did that with snails when the racoon wanted 5 snails and it seemed like i was getting more snails than not snails when i used snail bait lol

[vapid furnace]

Honestly, I just clicked the junimo thinking it was the missing bundle at first, then I saw the junimo get closer so I kept clicking it

Kinda like that one title screen easter egg with the corner, then the hole in the R of "StaRdew"

[idle ledge]

im actually interested to know if that works cause that would be nice addition

[tough remnant]

I checked and it did nothing in 1.6.1, not sure if it got patched because I don't remember it in patch notes

[vapid furnace]

To be fair, it seems like the type of bait matters now, since deluxe bait gives you silver quality crab pot fish

[vale quartz]

i was only working with 6 crab pots at a time but one day 4 of them gave me snails which seemed high lmao

[vapid furnace]

Suggesting that the fish baits do matter in the crab pot

[idle ledge]

mmm it does seem to work

thats coool

[silver dagger]

I will say that I just tried mussel bait on the island farm and 1/8 pots were mussels, but 8/8 had no trash? so...

Baiting 21 more pots on the beach at pel town, we'll see in the morning

[vapid furnace]

I feel like I got 3 out of 4 oysters in ocean pots, but it was a while ago, may have just been like. 1 mussel, 1 trash, 2 oysters or something

[tough remnant]

When I checked, the only bait types that mattered were deluxe and wild

[silver dagger]

can wild + book give you triple on pots?

[tough remnant]

Not sure

[silver dagger]

big chests are so swank

glad they included a big stone chest too

[vapid furnace]

If it has Mining mastery + geologist logic, it might give you 4 crab pot fish at once.

[vale quartz]

omg my first one

[tough remnant]

Big chest is great yeah

[steady narwhal]

CONGRATS. Frog is good

[silver dagger]

jealous! that's the one I've been wanting but dont have yet

[steady narwhal]

Frog is a good pet, can insta kill, but mosnters won't drop anything when killed...

[fickle knot]

how did you get the lucky ring?

[silver dagger]

no care stats, want cute frog

[steady narwhal]

Panning or SC special drops

[tough remnant]

Most importantly though, it can be prismatic

[vapid furnace]

I managed to get 2 using the upgraded pans

[fickle knot]

panning in ginger island?

[vale quartz]

found it while breaking barrels in the mines....skull cavern i believe

[steady narwhal]

Yep

[idle ledge]

omg i love ur fit

[vapid furnace]

Not at the same time, mind you

[steady narwhal]

Forgot about quarry mine special drops too...

[steady narwhal]

RGB frog to go with prismatic clothes

[vapid furnace]

I got one way before I got to Ginger Island, then I think another shortly before I unlocked it. Basically, it made me throw it into a box and consider if I should combine it with my burglar when I get the chance

[vapid wind]

thats so cute omg !!

[tough remnant]

I wonder what the rarest outfit is now

[vapid furnace]

That one person, suggesting a clothing item which is region locked / became unavailable in a previous update

[vale quartz]

im so glad he changed the hours of the adventurers guild lol

[tough remnant]

One of the Oasis shirts, tight pants, crystal shoes, and panda hat lol

[vapid furnace]

Wait a second, hear me out.

The shirts on character creation can't be dyed if I recall correctly

Unlike the versions you can get in-game

[idle ledge]

wait i think i got the tight pants lemme go back and check in my closet

[remote ridge]

If I want to get every item in Stardew Valley I should prob start stockpiling cloth, shouldn't I

[idle ledge]

lol yup nice

[tough remnant]

Those are all attainable from oasis as well as character creation, while the oasis exclusive shirts can only be bought from oasis

[nimble turtle]

I got like white tight pants and skeleton shirt

[vapid furnace]

CCFishTank when

[remote ridge]

CCFishTank?

[idle ledge]

comunity center?

[remote ridge]

Right

[vale quartz]

i put all my legendary fish in the community center tank hehe

[idle ledge]

me tooo!

[remote ridge]

I will obtain every item that is obtainable with the path I chose

Aka Communtiy Center + marrying Leah

[tough remnant]

They can't all be tailored, TBF

[idle ledge]

i got 2 left to catch tho im like only in yr 2 rn

[spiral bronze]

on one hand this makes me dislike Clint even more for obvious reasons but on the other HAHA CLINT STOPPED HITTING ON MY GIRLFRIEND FINALLY!

[remote ridge]

I'll put the second legendary fish in the Community Center tank

The main legends will be for my own abode

[tough remnant]

You can take a diversion past every other spouse candidate on the way to Leah 😛

[vapid furnace]

What if you glitch the game out horribly to make your pants have an invalid RGB value

[remote ridge]

Nah no divorces

[vapid furnace]

... Clint can't catch a break, can he

[idle ledge]

i kinda want to marry some of the other bachelors for the items o3o

[vale quartz]

omg speaking of fish tanks

i just got the jungle tank omg

[remote ridge]

And I'd feel bad if I got every spouse up to 14 hearts only to divorce them right after they gave me one item

[nimble turtle]

How do you get the community center tank

[vapid furnace]

People are mad at him not changing his dialogue before marrying Emily, who wasn't always a marriage candidate.
People are mad at him for changing his ways, shown in dialogue with Emily after marriage.

[tough remnant]

He is contractually prohibited from catching a break

[idle ledge]

weellll if you want all the items ur gonna have to i think

[idle ledge]

deserved tbh

[vapid furnace]

Cheat menu. Whatever the "Too Many Items" of Stardew is.

[spiral bronze]

oh I'll make sure of it

[remote ridge]

So yea I think I will just use that cheat mod for those

[spiral bronze]

that much I promise

[remote ridge]

But the rest will be legitimately obtained

[idle ledge]

fair enough lol

[nimble turtle]

ah

[idle ledge]

divorce is expensive also

which is off putting

[remote ridge]

Yea I will uh

Already spend a lot of money as is

[vapid furnace]

I theorized it's classified as a fish tank furniture item so it's operational inside of the Community Center, you just can't pick it up with a pickaxe like other fish tanks. Kinda like how artifact spots are technically path-like items, but you can't have one in your inventory through normal means.

[remote ridge]

Between building all 4 obelisks and the golden clock...

[tough remnant]

Nah, Clint is just sad and awkward. Truly a tragic figure.

[idle ledge]

i needa get mod for the golden clock when i build it. shit looks so ugly im sorry ca

[nimble turtle]

Got a jungle tank and junimo catalog

[spiral bronze]

also he hasn't "changed his ways" he literally is just mad at Emily because she's dating someone else which is just one more thing to add that shows how he actually views Emily

[vapid furnace]

I don't think I can legally have an opinion on the golden clock since I never bought one in-game.

[spiral bronze]

the fact that he actually stopped hitting on her is amazing regardless though

[tough remnant]

He's not mad at her?

[spiral bronze]

???

[vapid furnace]

To be fair, Emily is kinda... I don't know how to describe it politely. But she can't really "Read the room" easily.

[tough remnant]

Yes, Emily is wrong

[vapid furnace]

At least from what it feels like

[remote ridge]

Yea although he is a decent villager to befriend

[silver dagger]

@tough remnant ok so definitely doesn't improve chance of mussels but seems to greatly reduce trash

[idle ledge]

mmm agreed good mail rewards

[remote ridge]

Dude sends you copper/iron/gold bars in the mail (I wheep for the mailman)

Those are always useful to have

[silver dagger]

like 10% trash with mussel bait, and more like 50% trash with deluxe bait

[idle ledge]

interesting :o

[vapid furnace]

Especially since the gift is randomized when you open the letter, not when it's delivered

[tough remnant]

Just as she never picked up on Clint being interested, when Clint decides to give her space after realising she was interested in the farmer, she misreads why Clint might not want to spend time with her anymore

[vapid furnace]

Has to somehow put the gift in a quantum state between Copper, Iron, and Gold, all at the same time.

[tough remnant]

And that's not creepy at all. Spending time with an unrequited crush hurts, it's entirely reasonable to limit your interactions there

[spiral bronze]

well I still don't like him for being an incel what about that

[remote ridge]

He upgrades your tools

[spiral bronze]

I' talking about his dialouge pre-dating Emily

[remote ridge]

You kinda be fucked without Clint

[tough remnant]

... what incel stuff does he do?

[silver dagger]

I wish CA hadn't written clint to be a weird incel

[potent oak]

can personally confirm it hurts xD

[tough remnant]

He's just shy and socially awkward

[idle ledge]

i guess you can try understand that its pretty tough for him but ig you dont have to like him

[vale quartz]

hes such a "aww poor me im so alone ):" guy

[idle ledge]

fr

[lusty fable]

Combat is so hard to level up

[vapid furnace]

Honestly, I do understand where it comes from, since Clint is like "I will protect Emi- I mean, I will protect everyone if this green rain is acidic" or whatever

[tough remnant]

Oh yeah, dude needs a therapist bad

[silver dagger]

he treats emily really weird bc he's into her

[remote ridge]

Also I have a complaint to raise

[spiral bronze]

Clint's just a nice guy yk

[remote ridge]

Why do blue chickens not lay blue eggs

[lusty fable]

Good idea, I'll romance Emily my next file.

[idle ledge]

WAIR that would be so pretty

[tough remnant]

Clint basically has a bunch of resemblances to some negative IRL stereotypes, but doesn't actually do any of the stuff that makes the IRL stereotypes negative

[remote ridge]

White chickens lay white eggs
Brown chickens lay brown eggs
Why no blue eggs for blue chickens

[idle ledge]

but then ig it could be annoying storage wise? idk thats the only bad thing i can think of

[vapid furnace]

Only for the Terrarian

[vale quartz]

theres also gold eggs isnt there

[tough remnant]

So you don't need 8 friendship with Shane for full shipment probably

I mean
Don't you already need to max out hearts with everyone to get Perfection

Well excluding hearts 9-14 for people you aren't dating/marrying

[tough remnant]

Perfection yes

[idle ledge]

wait that just reminded me

[tough remnant]

Full shipment predates perfection

[idle ledge]

you could get mod to marry multiple characters and then you dont need to break up with them and you get all their character items :D

[remote ridge]

Fair enough
But these days I'd say anyone going for full shipment will also be going for Perfection

[remote ridge]

I mean

Do the spouse-rooms form a long chain if I marry everyone

[idle ledge]

i actually wanna see that LMAO

[thin cairn]

Hello! I'd like a clarification on dehydrators. The wiki says the sell price of dried fruit is 7.5 that of the base fruit, plus 25, and it takes 5 fruit to make one dried fruit. Is the 7.5 multiplying the value of one fruit or the value of ALL FIVE?

[remote ridge]

As far as I understand it all five

However if I recall my math correctly you'd still be making a bigger profit with wine

[vale quartz]

do the taro tubers need to be watered if they arent planted by water or do they just grow slower

[remote ridge]

They need to be watered if they aren't next to water

Really? Huh

[vale quartz]

dang i just planted this one too far lmaooo

[remote ridge]

Yea then making wine definitely leads to better profit

[thin cairn]

Yes, that's why I asked, that seems very OP

[remote ridge]

I mainly just use the dehydrator for shrooms and bulk "fruits"

Mainly the berries

Since you get a lot of those per harvest and they regrow

[thin cairn]

Understood

[remote ridge]

Not to mention the salmonberries and blackberries

[thin cairn]

So, dried cranberries?

[golden shore]

gotta make those raisins with dehydrators

[remote ridge]

Yea stuff like that

[regal orchid]

i dehydrate fruit from fruit trees i planted in the greenhouse, passive money is always nice

[remote ridge]

As far as I can recall making wine with those doesn't lead to a massive increase in value anyway so

[compact aurora]

Dried Salmonberries are actually a great emergency food source early on and I highly recommend them.

[remote ridge]

And iirc the dehydrator is the only way you can make artisan goods out of shrooms

So there is that too

Pretty useful if you have the mushroom cave

Also pro tip: you can place mushroom logs in the farm cave to make more mushrooms

No

[compact aurora]

Mm-hm! I used to stock up on Life Elixirs with my mushroom cave since there wasn’t much else you could do with them.

[remote ridge]

But it's a good place to put them there

[normal seal]

It works better when there are many trees around, and even better when there are moss on it.

[remote ridge]

Does that do anything?

Neat

[idle ledge]

oh yea just double checking about the dehydrator, the fruits all have to be the same quality aye?

[normal seal]

Different trees also determine the likelihood of getting a certain mushroom.

[remote ridge]

Does it have to b e wild trees or are self-planted trees also fine

[compact aurora]

Yes.

[wooden oyster]

This

[golden shore]

the green rain trees right?

[compact aurora]

I love the green rain so much. I want more magical rain events.

[idle ledge]

ohhh ive got a couple of those planted i should like make a better mush set up

[wooden oyster]

Mystic Trees = Purple mushrooms
Oak = Morel
Pine = Chanterelle

[golden shore]

not sure it's worth it since wild trees can't be tapped besides the fern one

[wooden oyster]

I think. I probably have the trees mixed up.

[spiral bronze]

blood rain

[remote ridge]

I guess I can place some mushroom logs inbetween the trees of my lil tapper farm

[idle ledge]

hehe

[golden shore]

how often do mushroom logs produce?

[compact aurora]

This is so cute.

[idle ledge]

like every couple of days??? idk

[wooden oyster]

Edited.

[vale quartz]

wooooo im only missing 9 more walnuts, and they only come from two things

[nimble turtle]

So my game glitch in a funny way

[vale quartz]

if only these golden coconuts would give me a damn skull

[idle ledge]

bruh i wish there was a way to remove the parsnips and bed from the house tho. i only get the multiplayer houses for decoration mostly

[spiral bronze]

how did you get that fiddlehern tree

[thin cairn]

So, high-value crops in kegs (starfruit, ancient fruit, rhubarb), low-value but plentiful stuff (berries) in dehydrators

[wooden oyster]

Every 4 days

[idle ledge]

the swirly one? you get that randomly from moss seed

[nimble turtle]

Was doing skull cavern run and I died but didn't lose anything but money

[vale quartz]

what should i buy first, key to the town or the missing stock list?

[thin cairn]

What goes in preserves jars, then?

[spiral bronze]

randomly? it's over

[wooden oyster]

Key

[normal seal]

Shake or cut down weird trees during the pesto sauce rain.

[spiral bronze]

veggies I guess

[terse apex]

If you plant one and it doesn't sprout as a little green thing, you can use a (pick)axe to dig it up and replant it 🙂

[idle ledge]

you could try cheese it by replanting the seed to check if its green. if you place it down and its

[vale quartz]

arent tea leaves more profitable in jars rather than being made into tea?

[idle ledge]

YEA THAT

[compact aurora]

Personally I end up with way more tree fruits than I need so I usually turn those into jellies and save specific ones for gifts.

[terse apex]

So yeah it's random but it can be made into one.

[vale quartz]

yeah thats what im thinking too

[thin cairn]

Doesn't veggie juice have the same value formula as wine?

3x crop value

Can't be aged, I know

[compact aurora]

I think so but I think the one wildly profitable veggie are pumpkins, right?

[golden shore]

pretty sure juice is worth less

[thin cairn]

Let me check the wiki

[wooden oyster]

Key is the first thing I always buy because I usually have the key by Fall/Winter Y1. And that’s when I start focusing on friendship with villagers.

The key helps with friendship quite a bit.

[vale quartz]

juice is 2.25 × Base Vegetable Price

[compact aurora]

Ah.

[thin cairn]

Ah, so it's worse

[vale quartz]

you have ginger island, enough golden walnuts to enter the room, and enough qi gems to get the key to the town by fall/winter year 1? holy cow

[nimble turtle]

What do I do with prismatic shards?

[golden shore]

cherish them

[spiral bronze]

aren't they used in the forge

[idle ledge]

oh my god 💀

[wooden oyster]

Usually. If CC, then winter Y1. If joja, then Fall Y1.

[thin cairn]

What sword do you use?

[compact aurora]

If you haven’t, take one to the desert to get the Galaxy Sword.
Otherwise save them for the forge or take three of them on Thursdays to the Desert Trader Magic Rock Candy.

[nimble turtle]

Galaxy

[wooden oyster]

I try and access GI fast. Wanna lay down ancient fruit/ starfruit ASAP.

[compact aurora]

You gotta drop the strategy guide, sir.

[thin cairn]

(why is rock candy preferable to prismatic shards, btw?)

[vale quartz]

i always have the CC done by year one but basically having all the godlen walnuts too? holy heck thats some speed running shit lmao

also i forget that joja is even an option bc i would never consider it lmaoooo

[compact aurora]

For Skull Cavern dives! The Magic Rock Candy gives pretty insane boosts you can use to make a lot of progress and get a lot of loot quickly.

[golden shore]

joja runs are my preferred runs now. I've done CC enough times, now I can just chill and buy autopetters

Join us. Thrive

[idle ledge]

jumino are too cute i gotta do the CC. ill do joja run one day tho

[wooden oyster]

Lol I wish. I’m in a speedrunning discord. I was mentioning how difficult it must be to get to GI in Spring. I wanted to try and access in Spring so I can get to volcano and do lava eel, bait maker, and fish smoker.

Then everyone kept saying “you can access GI by Spring 12 pretty easily.”

I felt so inferior. 😂

[thin cairn]

How about no? Modded game, CC and autopetters without going insane in skull caverns for a thousand years

[vale quartz]

jfc

[thin cairn]

Best of both worlds!

[lone musk]

I wonder how stardew speedruns will look like since clay farming was changed

[idle ledge]

yea i might grab a couple more mods later just to make my life a bit easier.

[golden shore]

eh I run vanilla, not a huge fan of mods tho no disrespect to those that do

[compact aurora]

… Wait how was clay farming changed?

[wooden oyster]

I think they’re reverting back to SC dives.

[lone musk]

Yeah, clay doesn’t spawn in a real pattern anymore

Same with snow yams n stuff but who cares about those

[terse apex]

There's a legacy setting... So I guess speedruns could just use that?

[compact aurora]

Oh my god I must have missed that I spent like an hour trying to farm enough clay for an early silo. AAAA.

[lone musk]

There will probably be 2 separate catagories for legacy and normal

Also isn’t mayo% an official catagory now

[idle ledge]

yea i saw a vid, havent watched that yet tho

[lone musk]

New fruit

[idle ledge]

maybe abigial. doesnt she have a blue vest?

[lone musk]

Legit though, i like how random stuff can drop random clothes

[golden shore]

living hat is from weeds since before the update, someone out there is just making clothes in the wild

[lone musk]

My current fit uses a suit i got from bombing rocks

[golden shore]

2/3rds of my outfit atm is from Emily dressing me up in the desert festival

she has good taste

[terse apex]

I got an entire joja outfit :/

[vale quartz]

i got the dino hat and pants from that lol

[idle ledge]

WHAT

[golden shore]

GOOD. TASTE

[idle ledge]

damn my fits were kinda mid ngl

[oblique pawn]

I have a question
If I use a golden animal cracker on a fish pond, aside from doubling roe/misc item quantity, will it also speed up the process of the fish population?

Like if I wanted to make a crab pond to make crab cakes
Would the crackers make them repopulate faster?

[vale quartz]

hehehe

[terse apex]

I'm more of a black shirt blue pants pixel character XD

[idle ledge]

i think thats cause i set my character to male idk. imma befriend wizard and make my character female and see if she gives better fit

[terse apex]

Eh, I doubt it. Mine is female and like I said... I got a joja outfit.

[idle ledge]

mine were just black... which is like fine but i wanted something like a bit cooler ig

idkkk like THE DINO COSTUME WTF

[lone musk]

Sidenote but thank god the desert festival shops stay open till 2:00am

I can actually spend my eggs while still going far in the skull caverns

[idle ledge]

minus the villager shops if you care for those they leave early

[golden shore]

you only lose some eggs if you die in SC too, no gold or items lost during festival

[idle ledge]

oh wait rlly? damn i was being super cautious for no reason

[golden shore]

I found out the hard way lol

[idle ledge]

i reaally like the desert festivle its fun. i cant wait for next years

[golden shore]

lost my first prismatic shard bc my inventory was full and I got got by serpents before I could clear it

its fine, I found more

getting a free +3 luck food from desert fest is so nice

[harsh trellis]

Does luck affect golden wallnits

[hidden ore]

I really ought to do some of the skull cavern desert things, no death penalty right?

[wooden oyster]

Anyone here play on console at all?

[hidden ore]

from rocks, it might, maybe from monster drops? but I don't know that for sure, it would take code spelunking to know

[hidden ore]

but I also bought on pc for the update

[harsh trellis]

No i meant when i open them...does luck affect them

[golden shore]

only during desert fest, otherwise you do lose gold / items

[harsh trellis]

In trying to get the mammel skull

[wooden oyster]

You think CA might do bulk purchase for the console update? I feel like that’s a big missing mechanic for console. It drives me crazy not having it.

[hidden ore]

yes, during the desrt specifically I meant. I've done runs other times but I've very conservative about them for that reason

[vale quartz]

same, its literally all i need lol

[hidden ore]

you meran golden coconuts? not walnuts right?

[golden shore]

ye, ur good. you'll lose 20% of ur eggs tho

[harsh trellis]

COCONUTS bruh my brain going numb

[hidden ore]

so I believe those are predictable, lemme see what the predictor says about them though

[harsh trellis]

Ok

[vale quartz]

i would also like to know <33333

[golden shore]

oh, I've seen ppl buy stuff really fast in vids. how do I speed up buying in bulk besides holding down the mouse?

[hidden ore]

yes htey are in the predictor as a fixed series but an item might be replaced by the golden helmet if you haven't got it already, that's all

[wooden oyster]

You can buy stacks of 999 on PC with 1.6 now. Idk how, but I know it exists.

[vale quartz]

is there a way we can see it?

[wooden oyster]

You can also buy stacks of 5 and 25.

[golden shore]

hmm let me check patch notes

[mellow atlas]

press shift while holding

then u can buy stacks of 25

[hidden ore]

on pc you can go to https://mouseypounds.github.io/stardew-predictor/ and plug in your save file, then check "geodes".

[harsh trellis]

I do have the helm but didnt donate yet

[tribal gorge]

When using predictor, mystery boxes count as geodes and vice versa.

[golden shore]

ty

[harsh trellis]

What are the chances of getting the mammel skull from wallnuts?

[vale quartz]

woooo so theoretically i only need 5 more golden coconuts lol

[hidden ore]

that is a great question and I don't know the answer. I do feel like we get the short end of the stick sometimes in the ui. maybe if there were a bug report public somewhere that a number of us could upvote...

[vale quartz]

1/7 i believe

[harsh trellis]

Damnit i have 5 only

[vale quartz]

https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Golden_Coconut

[hidden ore]

yes but.

[wooden oyster]

Yeah I need a legitimate way to reach out to CA lol. I would lobby the heck out of this.

[hidden ore]

before you waste those coconuts. go to the predictor if you're on pc. and see where it is i nthe list.

then.... break open other geodes first! they will take up a sspot in the sequence, see

[harsh trellis]

Wait whats the site name?

[hidden ore]

I linked it above eh

[wooden oyster]

With dehydrator now, I refuse to go kegs, jars, fairy rose honey, etc.

For the sole reason I can’t buy in bulk.

[hidden ore]

lemme go get it again... sec... https://mouseypounds.github.io/stardew-predictor/ there

[hidden ore]

you should see me buying 1700 wheat flour from pierre. holding down the button..... for minutes.

[harsh trellis]

Hmm

[wooden oyster]

Oh dude. I use batteries to buy my 50 stacks of wood and 50 stacks of stone. I just put batteries on the A and X buttons and leave my game for 2+ hours while it purchases.

Then I return, switch from wood to stone, and repeat.

[hidden ore]

see, this is the sort of stuff that needs to go into a bug report.

[calm mason]

has anyone figured out exactly how the bait maker bait changes the probability of catches? seems like it multiplies the probability instead of increasing it by a flat amount, after testing with catfish v ice pip, but i'd love to know the specific amount

[wooden oyster]

Blade broke down the game code on targeted bait pretty in-depth. If you check his Twitter vod, you’ll see it there.

[calm mason]

oh sweet thanks

[wooden oyster]

Idk the exact values, so I don’t wanna give you incorrect info.

[wooden oyster]

I do know the fish in the mines is completely different code from fishing everywhere else.

For targeted bait.

[remote ridge]

Right so
Where can I turn in my gift for the winter star festival
Been a while since I last did this festival

[unkempt dome]

@remote ridge You leveled up to Cowpoke. You can now speak in our voice channels and share images in all channels!

[calm mason]

any idea when in the vod specifically? i assume its the one 5 days ago about bait, pets, and more

[hidden ore]

talk to the npc in question at the festival, it will prompt you

[harsh trellis]

Where do i see the thingy?

Im on the website u sent

[wooden oyster]

Yeah CA works hard for all platforms, but most of the feedback he receives is from PC. Which is probably where most people play the game, so makes sense. But streamers, YTers, etc. all use PC.

[hidden ore]

ok so if you scroll down a little in the page after loading your save file into it, it will have a whole bunch of tabs across the page, one is "geodes", select that, then look at the last coloumn, it's golden walnuts

[remote ridge]

:o
My Leah is my secret gift-giver
This must be destiny!

[wooden oyster]

For example, I couldn’t clay farm on Switch. It’s a different pattern than PC.

[remote ridge]

And she gave me a ring

[harsh trellis]

Uhuh i see the fossilised skull on 5th

[wooden oyster]

It’s the first topic he covers I believe. Spends about an hour on it.

[harsh trellis]

Taro tuber taro banana sapl again and then skull

Soooo i should go and break them 5 coconuts right

[woven tusk]

Got a link?

[harsh trellis]

Noice thanks man

[wooden oyster]

@calm mason forewarning. My codespeak is actually really really bad, so I struggled understanding. If someone sees the vod, please translate for me lol.

[wooden oyster]

I gotcha. One sec.

[idle ledge]

wait wait i got another prismatic shard should i donate it to museum? ive already gotten galaxy sword. i forgot what other uses they have apart from gifting

[woven tusk]

Magic Rock Candy?

[hidden ore]

missing bundle, use at forge. yes go donate imo

[idle ledge]

ty ty ill have a think about it

[harsh trellis]

Ffs clint is not at home

[hidden ore]
