[surreal scaffold]

if you guys get the book that increases artifact sell prices you should keep dinos

[mellow atlas]

[surreal scaffold]

one egg sells for 2100 it’s rlly good

[urban wolf]

i named my dino shakira and my ostrich fatass💔

[surreal scaffold]

not like totally convert to a dino farm but it’s a good passive money maker

[buoyant tendon]

i got my meadowlands chickens randomly named Chip and Dip and so ive named all my coop animals something ending in ip

[surreal scaffold]

all my animals are food names

[urban wolf]

i had a goat named ralsei

[surreal scaffold]

i accidentally named two of my chickens queso lol

[buoyant tendon]

ive got Dip, Chip, Rip, Nip, Slip, Mips, Sips, and Blip

[urban wolf]

mine are all fictional charctrs

[mellow atlas]

i keep some useless animals just for the collection

[ripe osprey]

Real gigachads get every animal at once

[surreal scaffold]

you should make a spamton duck

[buoyant lark]

i always ask my partner for naming themes and they told me to name my animals after things in nature so thats what ive been doing

[buoyant tendon]

rip is my void chicken, nip is a dino, and slip is from when i accidentally put an egg in the incubator

[surreal scaffold]

i cant tell what you’re calling useless here

voids? mr krobus needs his mayo. not useless to me lol

[urban wolf]

...i have a horse named jean

[ripe osprey]

My horse is named Napoleon

[buoyant tendon]

my horse is named Trip because i . use it to go on trips

[surreal scaffold]

i don’t have a horse bc i’m fucking stupid!!!!

[ripe osprey]

Horse is only necessary when you decide to build it (Addiction rate is 100%)

[buoyant tendon]

whats the best hat to give a horse . go

[surreal scaffold]

i can afford it. i just use warps and coffee

there’s a mod to increase sell prices

[short gulch]

so this new odd tree

[surreal scaffold]

if u play w mods

[short gulch]

can grow in any season right

[surreal scaffold]

also does anyone have any tips for maxing out combat that isn’t slime hutch

[short gulch]

idk if this is even a tree, mossy seed

[short gulch]

farm for infested floors

[mellow atlas]

killing your children

[short gulch]

I'm summer y1 and I'm going for 9 combat

[surreal scaffold]

BEHAHAHAHASHEHHDANSH

ARE YOU SERIOUS??

[short gulch]

vanilla mines

[mellow atlas]

there was i guy that made 1->10lvl in one day

by killing 200+ children

but it was not very reliable

[surreal scaffold]

i refuse to have kids bc i don’t want kids irl and i’m definitely not gonna have a child w fucking shane

[desert stag]

After 300 Iridium Bars LOL

[surreal scaffold]

but holy shit. ok. maybe i will

[mellow atlas]

but it's only a way if you have nothing to do

[short gulch]

all you need is to get one of these babies (i play remixed) by either luck or farm floor 81 for fiber n boxes, then farm frozen levels that are infested for slime and coal

the enchantment was luck tho

[mellow atlas]

just sleep make kids kill kids more sleep

[short gulch]

but you dont need the speed

[surreal scaffold]

i have the dwarf club w the slime enchant

[white ridge]

How are you gonna get the achievement then

[short gulch]

you farm infested floors and repeat, spend the whole day like that

[surreal scaffold]

i’m never gonna beat junimo kart anyways so it’s fine

[mellow atlas]

or just buy books

[white ridge]

There is no junimo kart achievement

[surreal scaffold]

the other one too

prairie king

[ripe osprey]

god bless fiber seeds

[surreal scaffold]

i needed to mod the game so i didn’t have to fish bc it killed my hands i’m not a pro gamer lol

[short gulch]

I'm on summer 8 year 1 but as you can see I've been skipping farming but lol, and tbh I'm not playing in a rush, you really need to farm those juicy infested floors

[mellow atlas]

fiber seeds are great

[ripe osprey]

How... how does one skip farming?!

[mellow atlas]

what the heck man

[surreal scaffold]

year 8 and only lvl 3 farming is insane

[ripe osprey]

It's a farming game!!

[surreal scaffold]

what do you even do

[mellow atlas]

year 8 no 10 levels

[ripe osprey]

Year 1 😭

Re-read

[surreal scaffold]

oh oops

[short gulch]

I try to get the ring that doubles the loot from monsters

[mellow atlas]

aaaaaahhh

maaaaan

[buoyant lark]

lol year 8 farming 3 wld be hilarious

[short gulch]

so I mine a lot

[surreal scaffold]

collective oopsie moment by chat

yeah i play this game too much like minecraft sometimes

[short gulch]

I mean, I play on beach farm, so farming there isn't a rush y'know lol

[surreal scaffold]

then i rage when my items get taken

yeah i first started w beach it’s nice

the free forageables are useful

[mellow atlas]

i will be fucking stunned if i see someone with stack of radioactive bars

without item id glitch

[short gulch]

also for some reason I have remixed CC bundles and turned to be easier than the normal cc bundles , weird, the quality crops bundle for example for me turned to be shuffled to a rare crop bundle (either 1 gem berry or ancient fruit)

and the bundle that requires the red cabbage got switched for another that asks me for gems I think

[surreal scaffold]

i’m still ashamed that on my first ever save i went joja bc i couldn’t fish all the items needed for the fish tank

[neat sail]

I got 500 sap for one bundle

[white ridge]

You shouldn't be
If anything you should be ashamed that you tired to help the community in the first place

[surreal scaffold]

fellow pierre hater i see

[short gulch]

wait I'm wrong, this is what I got instead of emily's red cabbage bundle, tbh, my remixed CC turned to be much easier than common CC, which makes me feel weird not gonna lie

[marble patrol]

The sticky bundle, such a funny one in the remix

[marble patrol]

That's Amazing

[surreal scaffold]

i didn’t get why everyone hated him until he called me at 1 am to tell me he had the best prices in town and then tried to sell my parsnips for an entire years worth of rent

[short gulch]

I mean yeah its amazing but I intended to go remixed to make it harder

so.. lol

[wooden oyster]

The challenging part is the preparation, I think. I have the CC bundles memorized, so remixed is a nice change. Gotta map out differently.

[short gulch]

Im really thinking in getting a CC bundle mod for this run because Im playing 100% legit but this cc is super easy like as soon as I get a snow yam it's gonna be completed

[mellow atlas]

does anyone know if bombing a tapped tree destroys the tapper or just drops it?

I have a huge section of my farm for trees but I need to tear it down for more space

[short gulch]

id manually clean it

[mellow atlas]

I could... I should, probably, for mastery xp...

[neat sail]

Yeah we did remixed cc and mines for funsies on a coop farm and that's the one my friend didn't like because she likes to have fertiliser

[wooden oyster]

I believe it destroys the tapper. One way to check would be first thing in the morning, bomb a set of trees and see what happens.

[short gulch]

because on top of bombing and destroying your stuff

you gonna also uh tile all the ground and that can also be annoying if you don't want that

[mellow atlas]

good, I can set up sprinklers there

yeah I'm just gonna cut it down manually

[short gulch]

those are 1st world issues, gladly I'm a beach farm player so idk anything bigger than the farming plot that it comes with :p and greenhouse once unlocked ofc

[mellow atlas]

it's a shame but I really need the space

[mellow atlas]

I'm attempting to achieve perfection on every farm type.

ive done 3 so far

[short gulch]

farm imo looks the most pretty

I can't play the game without beach farm

[supple jolt]

is +11 luck possibe

I know +10 is now because the food at the desert festival stacks with regular food buffs

[sonic skiff]

magic rock candy +5
2 lucky rings +2
qi seasoned ginger ale +2
desert festival +3
that's +12 no?

oh and blessing of luck +1

[crude talon]

so for first mastery was it best to do farming ??

[neat sail]

Meadowlands farm is so pretty imo

[short gulch]

with the statue

[neat sail]

Yes, then combat imo

[supple jolt]

oh desert festival can give you +3 luck? huh

[sonic skiff]

+11 as just the buff icon is possible yeah

yeah rare fruit as base is +3 luck

[supple jolt]

so huh you can get +13

[sonic skiff]

with lucky rings yeah

[supple jolt]

I wonder what the iridium needle crit chance is with +13 then

[harsh plover]

What's the max roe a treasure chest can give you after reading jewels of the sea?

[sterile hare]

Can the legend still be caught in 1.6 with buffs (Level 11 with buffs, I'm level 9 without them)

[supple jolt]

yes

I did it level 9 with sea jelly

[sterile hare]

maybe I'm just very unlucky then

[supple jolt]

unless they fixed that after 1.6.0

[harsh plover]

Like what's the range? 2-5 maybe?

[supple jolt]

I've gotten 1

[sterile hare]

couldnt hook one in 7 minutes

[mellow atlas]

grabs truffles harvests crops shakes trees grabs fruit from trees grabs forage ect ect

[wooden oyster]

Sounds unlucky. It should still work.

[mellow atlas]

it pairs with automate really good

[sterile hare]

should I reset the day

[wooden oyster]

If you’ve gotten no benefit from the day, I usually do. Like a fishing chest with a Glaive or an ancient seed, I typically won’t.

[sterile hare]

yeah all I have is a bunch of fish

[harsh plover]

Oh wow

Isn't "Harvests crops" just Junimos though?

[wooden oyster]

Then I would restart for sure.

[round lava]

i have 20 walnuts left should i just buy them from the bird?

[wooden oyster]

I rush walnut room, so I would. Up to you though.

Sorry, walnut completion.

[sterile hare]

attempt 2

[mellow atlas]

no bc its instant

also lets u put em instantly in kegs

with automat

i have an autograbber on my ginger island farm and greenhouse as well as most my sheds

[desert stag]

Why too much brightness?

[lofty sandal]

I can't wait for 1.6 to drop on switch so I can play the meadow farm

[mellow atlas]

hdr

[desert stag]

HDR ouch my eyes o.o

[lofty sandal]

HDR hurts damn

[jovial dune]

the forge's wiki says the "Crit Chance" it applies with Aquamarines is additive 4.6% per level, and the needle's crit chance is listed as 10%, so there's 23.8%. I'm not clear if "Crit Chance" applied by Dragon Tooth forging would count as the usual crit chance (listed as ~2% per level) or the aquamarine forged crit chance, but I'd play it safe and say the ~2%, so tooth forging can get it another ~6% (CC +3), so there's 29.8%. All that is listed as being done before Scout, then Scout adds 50%, so there's 44.7%. Then buff luck adds another 2.5% per point.

[lofty sandal]

That's an awesome haul of ancient fruit!

[mellow atlas]

theres no hdr

[jovial dune]

I just finished putting +3 CC on a Needle with teeth, and was looking this up. I still need to add the aquamarines, though

[lofty sandal]

Also hi fellow cattails player!

[supple jolt]

+2.5 per point isn't consistent with what the wiki says for +9

[mellow atlas]

yes i couldnt go back to playing no automate

[jovial dune]

https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Combat#Critical_hit_chance

[supple jolt]

67.2% based on the formula, 60.01% according to wiki

[wooden oyster]

Yeah I’m itching. The shakes are real.

[jovial dune]

Buff luck is added after Scout effect

[supple jolt]

wiki says this even though 44.7 + 2.5 * 9 = 67.2

[lofty sandal]

I feel bad wanting to start a new meadow farm on pc while I still haven't perfected my farm

[supple jolt]

you can always go back

[wooden oyster]

Eh. I would anyway. I don’t play on PC myself. So I’m still waiting to experience all this new content.

[crude talon]

i did just that i started a medow and got suckered in to forest

[sterile hare]

success

[wooden oyster]

Nice. Congrats.

[mellow atlas]

my preffered layout it lets u put all ancient fruit in chest and it all throws it in kegs so u can go on with ur day

[short gulch]

I'm gonna have a good time getting 10 jellies lmao

[visual musk]

10 river jellly

also the tree fertilizer

[mellow atlas]

luck improves jelly spawns

[short gulch]

im just checking all the possible bundles

oh god

[short gulch]

the vault is 98k instead of 45k to open

[vapid wind]

[vapid wind]

[sonic silo]

jesus christ what is this mod

knowing some of the people in this community someone's gonna find a way to complete it in year 1

[gray oriole]

i think dialogue just checks time and not location and assumes the npc is in the correct location listed on their schedule

[uncut merlin]

turns out you can delete your pan.

[gray oriole]

Yeah cuz u can just buy another

[daring hinge]

erm, bit of a dumb question, but i completed perfection - crafted and sold all the new items etc, even the perfection tracker states 100% perfection - but the cutscene isnt triggering and the boulder is still there ;-; idk what to dooo

[tender meteor]

Did you go to bed to start a new day?

[daring hinge]

rip i thought it would be on the day after everything i had to ship for perfection was shipped you can tell ive never gotten perfection before

thank you 😭

[short gulch]

seems like CC will be the true endgame thing in my save, who needed early mine cart anyway!! 😅

[rose pine]

Do mahogany and mossy trees get random seeds you can shake out of them like normal trees?

[sonic silo]

IS THAR MONSTER MUSK?

[mellow atlas]

yeah

[short gulch]

yes lol 😄 you see what I was talking you about? vanilla but harder, gotta love this

[dense marten]

ooooof monster musk for cc

[sonic silo]

AN IRIDIUM BAR?

SLIME EGGS?

I feels so bad for you what have you gotten yourself into?

[short gulch]

i have never even gotten a slime egg of that kind

lol

[dense marten]

cc impossible mode

[harsh plover]

What the max roe you can get from a single chest with the jewels of the sea book?

Like what's the range? 1-5?

[short gulch]

Well, people normally speedruns CC, many of us (not everyone) feel discouraged when we complete CC fast feels like you finished one big part of the endgame

This will surely help me get more motivated to keep going lol

[dense marten]

there is guarantee year one completion and then there is guarantee year 5 completion

[gray oriole]

I think most ppl just install content mods so there’s more to do after the cc instead

[harsh plover]

I want a mod that makes the CC harder, maybe all the remixed bundles are now required

[half prairie]

DAMN

[short gulch]

[frosty coral]

what is the best animal to use golden crackers on?

I have 2

[high creek]

Sheep or Ostriches

[reef prawn]

chickens

or those 2

[frosty coral]

damn that's 3 different answers lol

[dim oak]

best way to gather 100 ginger for carolines quest?

[high creek]

Sheep have been the best animal for awhile, but often get underrated due to starting bad (since 3 days for wool)

Once happy (and especially if you're willing to sit on Shepard Perk for awhile) they're the best animals after pigs

Ostriches are better than Shepard-less Sheep

But slow to acquire because incubation

[frosty coral]

oh yeah both me and my brother have artisan

lmao

guess we should start respeccing

since we easily make more than 10k per day now

[high creek]

Just check daily really. Go to island, Chest West side (make sure to pickaxe the spots after you hoe them), then take the Parrot Express to Dig Site, and check there (plus right in front of the Field Island Tent) You do NOT need to pickaxe the spots in Island North

[reef prawn]

i just found out that the gold difference between iridium truffles and truffle oil with artisan is very small

like less than 200

[white ridge]

Fish ponds

[dim oak]

ty

didnt think to pickaxe the spots

[high creek]

Yeah, you should on the west side. Ginger can't spawn on Hoed spots.
THe spots become unhoed on their own everywhere else though

Also, any ginger you get from killing monsters also counts.

So some volcano trips will also help a little

[sacred river]

During winter, hay chances for all scythes are reduced by 67%.

Does this mean that the basic scythe is buffed in Winter

Since it has a 50% to gather hay

[stray swift]

reduced by

[sacred river]

So it's -17%

Or did I do the math wrong

[stray swift]

multiplicative

[sacred river]

Interesting

[stray swift]

50*(1-0.67)

[mellow atlas]

started to collect artisan shit 1 per thing

how many chests will i need i dk...

what if i'm color blind

[stray swift]

they dont stack with eeacch other

[mellow atlas]

yeah i know

i started collecting them too

for a moment i thought the colors are randomized

before checking the wiki

i thing it would be a great idea though since every harvest of flowers you get full inventory of no stacking flowers anyway

different colors, different qualicy...

i think maybe i will cover all my farm in flowers once just for fun since i don't need much money

it would be beautiful

maybe in spring cause spring makes no money anyway

or in fall cause fall is not very moneymaking too and it became really boring to plant cranberries and pumpkins

[vast leaf]

i just saw some giant animal looking creature run down this tree and into the bush very late at night, is this some new secret/random event? i do not have mods and need to emphasize that the thing was HUGE

[mellow atlas]

i saw him too like three times

i think it's just a cool feature like squierrels

[vast leaf]

what is it? i didnt get a good look

[mellow atlas]

but it's a possum or something

[woven tusk]

I think I know what it is but it did not actually come from the tree if I'm correct

[mellow atlas]

looks like a possum

[vast leaf]

possibly, im tired and it was rlly quick

anyone got an image?

[mellow atlas]

does he look like that?

[vast leaf]

i dont know, i mean like an ingame screencap

[woven tusk]

Yeah, a possum the size of a huge dog. When it sees you, it leaps way up in the air (so you mistook it for coming from the tree in the darkness) and runs for the nearest bush to hide

[mellow atlas]

didn't find it

[vast leaf]

yess that might be it

it scared the hell out of me

[mellow atlas]

yeaah

there he is

it is not very rare but still cool

[vast leaf]

ya i literally got so scared when i saw it

[woven tusk]

Farmer: "AAHHHHHH WTF IS THAT"
Possum: "AHHHHHHH WHO TF IS THAT"

yo im trying to upgrade my galaxy sword with the dwarvish forge, its not letting me use any of my gems on it

[surreal hazel]

they would be besties with the raccoon for sure

[full pond]

i brought aquamarine, ruby, and jade, none of them are working

tips?

[woven tusk]

Got a screenshot so people can troubleshoot it?

[full pond]

see, theyre greyd out

[woven tusk]

Uh, did you use a Diamond before

Those stats look... already gemmed

[full pond]

oh no

but it said you could do it 3 times

the note

[woven tusk]

Diamonds are special

They are cheap to use but count as 3 random gems in one

[full pond]

of course they are

[woven tusk]

Sorry

[full pond]

i hate it here

thanks for your help

[woven tusk]

It can be undone, but it'd take the vampiric enchant with it, I think

[full pond]

oh thats fine

i can always get it again

i just need mrre shards

[woven tusk]

[full pond]

i might save scum to get my shards back tbh

how can i reroll it or wtv

[woven tusk]

(I have never forged anything-- only just reached the volcano the other day-- but have done some reading about it)

ahhhh cool

For people who want to know the enchantments of the punt are, fisherman, which makes you able to get fish in punt, expansive, increases the radius of the punt, generous, has 50% of giving double items and finally archaeologist, which doubles the probability of obtaining artifacts. I know no one asked me, but I say it anyway.

[proud wave]

what in the world are this treasure chests

they are ultra op

[mellow atlas]

its golden chests

i obtain a pearl

and 5 iridium ingots

[proud wave]

fishing is so overpowered on this update

[lime jacinth]

Fishing drains my soul after fives lines cast

[buoyant raven]

It kind of needed it late game though, most people only fished early game and then to get Master Angler

[lavish rapids]

it's too op though

to the point that it's one of the best money making methods in mid game if you're moderately good at fishing

which sucks because it's pretty boring

[buoyant raven]

You don't have to use it, all the other money making options still work

[gray oriole]

not that overpowered

wouldn't even consider it overpowered at all personally

need to remember that it still actively requires you to be spending time doing it

reminder that you don't even need to do anything for farming once setup and it'll generate arbitrarily large amounts of money equal to your setup

its main thing is that it ramps faster than everything else so it wins earlygame

but as soon as you get enough money from it that you can afford to setup infrastructure for anything else it loses

[pine barn]

Chef's kiss

Some detail

[woven tusk]

It's a little messed up but I think it should work fine

I'm thinking I might build a farmhand cabin just to house several cursed mannequins

[austere sparrow]

i got my pet to full hearts

what to do now

[mental sail]

keep petting it for gifts, and marnie will write you that she sells more now

[austere sparrow]

:0

[mental sail]

but you don't have to do anything if you don't want to, the hearts won't ever decay

[buoyant lark]

build one each for a cursed mannequin

a coop farm without the need for friends

[dusk glen]

Did CA only add joja perfection waivers for gramps or both

[gray oriole]

?

[dusk glen]

did they not add it on 1.6 or I'm just delusional

[bleak current]

perfection waivers and the walnut parrot can be used regardless of which path you chose on CC

[gray oriole]

idk what you mean exactly, but gramps has nothing to do with perfection waivers

[woven tusk]

Gramps also has waaaaay more wiggle room on his evaluation

What's this about panning spots spawning every half hour at the Ginger Island dig site? I went there and looked around but couldn't find it. Stayed until the next x:30 timestamp and still nothing

[gray oriole]

there isn't even a source attached to it lol

[austere sparrow]

why isnt marnie sending me anything

i have max hearts with my cat

[gray oriole]

prob someone trolling

like, I know GI has boosted spawnrates for pan spots but I don't think its that high

[vivid mesa]

I heard there’s a secret near the hat mouse in the waterfall
but when I went there I checked and there was nothing

[woven tusk]

It spawns on Spring 17

And only that day

[nimble turtle]

woot got a lvl2 parrot egg

[vivid mesa]

Bruh I checked it on Spring 18

[young vortex]

i keep getting a text for a salmon thing in cindersnap forest but i can never find it?

[woven tusk]

Spring 17 is a reference to Saint Patrick's Day (March 17), that's why

[woven tusk]

There's a lot of water in cindersap...

[gray oriole]

there is a 2% chance when a fish bubble spawns that it'll only spawn 1 type of fish and announce it

[young vortex]

oh

[woven tusk]

I've caught Salmons in that lower cliff in the waterfall too, while trying for Goby

That's a whole lot of water to search

[young vortex]

is that what the text is for? the goby?

[woven tusk]

What text?

If it says Salmon, it'll be Salmon

[young vortex]

id hope so

[woven tusk]

But I'm saying Salmon can spawn in a weird place where you wouldn't look

[young vortex]

i think i have to restart my day to see it

[woven tusk]

It may not be salmon next time
First time I restarted a day where a fish frenzy happened, it ended up being a different fish when the time came around again

So it might be something silly like Chubs

[gray oriole]

as far as i can tell the bubbles don't get extended if its a frenzy either

which feels like a huge flaw

getting warned of a frenzy that spawned with a duration of 1 hour and it takes u longer than 1hr to get over there is pretty frusturating

esp if it's a frenzy for a good fish

u might as well just reset the day right there and preemptively go to the area and wait for it to spawn so you can figure out exactly where

and then reset a 2nd time so you can camp that tile to maximize fishing

[woven tusk]

...And a third when it doesn't spawn as the good fish that time

[gray oriole]

wait you're fight, rerolling the day changes the fish

[young vortex]

well its alright i dont care too much to reset but i just wanted to know what that text meant, i thought it was something like the derby where there were people and stuff

[gray oriole]

at which point u might as well reroll every single fish frenzy to see if it changes into something good

[woven tusk]

Here, this is what one looks like

[pine barn]

yeah, but you only have to plant pineapples once

[ember oyster]

whats a fish frenzy

[wispy slate]

you can get em in the normal catalogue I think...

[native rain]

Bubble spot for a specific fish

[ember oyster]

i thought that was already in the game

[ember oyster]

oh it looks different now

[woven tusk]

Bubbles can have any fish

A frenzy will have only that one kind of fish

[ember oyster]

ohh

[woven tusk]

Which can be stupid (carp or chub or something) or awesome (catfish, sturgeon, super cucumber or something)

[urban wolf]

i got the garbage hat :D

What is the best way to get a ton of mastery experience?

[jovial dune]

do things

[gray oriole]

how do u measure best

[fallen prawn]

I dont know, I mean I guess foraging is the worst because of how little trees give despite being the best way to get experience for it

[jovial dune]

I mean, all the same things that got you skill xp give you mastery xp. What can you do a lot of fast?

harvest a ton of crops, blow up a ton of rocks, kill a mess o mobs...

[fallen prawn]

ah okay! thank you

if I sow seeds and they won't mature before the season changes, do they just become dead plants anyways?

[sacred river]

Do you guys think that CA not allowing golden animal crackers to be used on pigs was because of balancing reasons, or coding issues?

[tiny torrent]

Hmm so… double truffles dug up

[sacred river]

I get the balancing, but I also thought about the difficulties on how it would exactly work

Making two truffles spawn on the same or different tiles would be clunky in hindsight

Not to mention the gatherer perk

[tiny torrent]

So the way it’s implemented would be double the wool sheared for example

[gray oriole]

consider the following

how do you "double" a pig's output

[tiny torrent]

Yeah I think it’s more coding than balancing

[glossy ore]

you'd have to spawn 2 truffles every time it tries to spawn one

which would require additional code to find an extra placeable tile

[sacred river]

Make all truffles they dig out always follow the gatherer perk coding or something

That's my thought

[gray oriole]

that's not double though

[tiny torrent]

Imagine truffle spawns beside barn then bonus truffle spawn glitches into barn

[sacred river]

It's two truffles tho

[woven tusk]

Pretty sure they become dead plants; in Spring Y2+, you can keep your soil tilled across the transition to summer by planting sacrificial Parsnip seeds on day 28

[sacred river]

Giving pigs crackers allows them to bend reality gg

[gray oriole]

it's 1.67 truffles

getting 2 truffles instead of an average of 1.2 isn't double

[sacred river]

It's for every single truffle

[frosty bough]

Has anyone gotten the "Tastes Like Chicken" quest before? It's not on the wiki and I can't figure out what to do, because when I go to the dropoff it won't let me add any mushrooms.... Help?

[tiny torrent]

Probably more coding challenge than balance

[gray oriole]

if you make it give two truffles separately from gather and then apply perks you run into the a 2nd issue

[woven tusk]

That's... still "only" an improvement of 1.67 over Gatherer

[gray oriole]

gatherer doesn't work on multi harvest afaik

so you'd be getting 1.2 from the first and then a 2nd which gatherer doesn't work on

[sacred river]

That's what I thought about also

[gray oriole]

so that's 2.2 truffles over 1.2 or 83% more truffles not 100%

[tough remnant]

Yes

[woven tusk]

Basically the Pig multi truffle rate would have to be rebalanced to average twice as many as before

[sacred river]

Real

[gray oriole]

following up on that, how are you gonna handle truffle crabs?

[sacred river]

Double spawns

[tiny torrent]

Double crabs

[sacred river]

Gg

[tough remnant]

Clearly the golden cracker effect should be that twice as many truffles are now crabs. Total number of truffles is unchanged.

[sacred river]

What if you just don't pick gatherer

Stupid ik, but an option

[woven tusk]

Then you don't have Botanist

Then you don't want use pigs anymore anyway

[tiny torrent]

Chaotic evil spotted

[sacred river]

It's not about Botanist

It's about the double truffles from crackers

[gray oriole]

i'd imagine you'd also have to rewrite or massively expand how foraging works to even handle the context data for this on top

[woven tusk]

I already gave the answer up here. The calculation isn't that complex

[gray oriole]

i guess you can add another foraging object that drops two truffles

[tiny torrent]

Oh

Shit that’s good

[sacred river]

Isn't that with gatherer

[tiny torrent]

Pigs now spawn twin truffles or something

[woven tusk]

That will double your yield regardless of whether you have Gatherer.

[sacred river]

Pigs spawn conjoined truffles

[woven tusk]

Twice as many spawns, twice as many Gatherer procs

1.2 becomes 2.4

[gray oriole]

now you need to add conjoined truffles object for truffle crabs

and maybe a conjoined truffle crab

[tiny torrent]

[gray oriole]

and everything involved in adding another enemy

[woven tusk]

They're hideous enough already

[sacred river]

Real

So it's really more about coding than balance

Good to know

[tiny torrent]

Nightmare fuel

[woven tusk]

Eh. It could be done fairly easily with code

[gray oriole]

if you do an alternative approach where you increase the output of pigs to equal double statistically the player now needs to handle having 6 free tiles per pig available a day

[tough remnant]

Anyways, the truggle digging code could pretty easily have been reworked. Maxed out pigs dig up 3 truffle objects per day on average. Just double that value

So I think the balance concerns were at least a significant factor

[sacred river]

That will make pigs more space-extensive

[tough remnant]

Given that even with golden crackers, pigs are still king of income-per-animal

[gray oriole]

the other other other other other issue

[tiny torrent]

Yeah I still think it’s coding because say 12 pigs and 6 tiles each gets messy really quick

[gray oriole]

is that if u double the truffles a pig produces

pigs are now producing an average of 8,946g per day

in exchange for the space issue thing

oh wait that number went up because of crabs

idk what the crab spawnrate is

but it probably pushes the number closer to 10kg/day

[sacred river]

3 extra tiles per pig seems not worth it

Unless you dedicate your entire farm on them

They'd be like hops but animal

[tiny torrent]

I don’t think tiller loses to shepherd in 1.6

It is pretty though

[woven tusk]

Crackered pig would have a Friendship/1250 rate to generate additional truffles until fail, thereby increasing a max pig's average truffles per day from 3 to 6

[gray oriole]

i'd imagine he probably just thought over how many possible options there were, the annoyances implementing them would cause, and then the issues said implementation would further cause and just threw up his hands and said no

[woven tusk]

There, solved it by changing one number. Fuck all your overengineered solutions

[tough remnant]

Sorta but not really. It means that 1 barn can cover twice as much open space. Rather than 2 pig barns and 70 tiles of open space, you have 1 barn and 70 tiles of open space. Net space savings of 28 tiles.

[gray oriole]

that option was already listed

[woven tusk]

Yeah, it was mine

I just did the math for you

The math was easy since 90% of it was already done for me

[robust spoke]

7500 per day per pig

sounds pretty op ngl

and potentially 15000

cause double forage

[sacred river]

I never thought of it that way
That's interesting

[woven tusk]

Yes.
It would be easy to code pigs to use crackers this way.

It would just be too OP to allow

[gray oriole]

oh right I forgot about gatherer

[tough remnant]

Oh it absolutely does in the endgame, lost even in 1.5, but now it loses by more.

[gray oriole]

my bad

it's somewhere around 11kg/day without truffle crabs if you double it

[woven tusk]

Tiller's really just "Artisan Step 1" anyway

[sacred river]

Killing truffle crabs still net truffles don't they

[gray oriole]

yes but I don't know the spawnrate of crabs

[sacred river]

With burglar ring it can be double truffle drops

[gray oriole]

so the actual value would be higher with crabs

[tough remnant]

Hey sometimes it's Agri step 1

[tiny torrent]

Really? Tiller+artisan loses to shepherd? I didn’t know pigs were so OP

Show me your ways sensei

[tough remnant]

Sheep

[gray oriole]

a truffle crab is worth something like 1.7 truffles iirc

[sacred river]

It's always normal quality

But if it drops two it's essentially a Botanist truffle

[tiny torrent]

Iridium wool is the secret?

[tough remnant]

Also pigs, but pigs require lots of daily effort like Hops and fuck Hops

[gray oriole]

shepherd results in something like just under 4 cloth/day/sheep iirc?

whatever the rate of iridium/gold wool is because iirc its not 100% for iridium

[tiny torrent]

Yeah but 564g per wool doesn’t really seem like a lot

[sacred river]

It's not too labor extensive for pigs, you can just wait until 5 PM when all pigs are inside and collect the truffles from there

[gray oriole]

I think it was like 70%

[sacred river]

If only the iridium scythe can harvest truffles tho

[tiny torrent]

It is 100%

[woven tusk]

...Every day. That's the problem.

Can't autograbber it and let it automate itself

[gray oriole]

658 if you stack it and then swap to artisan before selling

also reminder that you multiply that by 4

[sacred river]

Rainy days and all of Winter

[woven tusk]

So if you scale the operation up, the daily labor burden also rapidly scales up

[gray oriole]

and you don't need to let them graze you can buy hay so you can stack more barns into an area than pigs

also they produce in winter and rain when pigs don't

[sacred river]

You are free from pig labor during Winter

You aren't with hops

[gray oriole]

and some other stuff i'm probably forgetting idk

[woven tusk]

This doesn't space out the burden across days effectively

[gray oriole]

not having to collect the truffles also frees up time to go do other stuff

u just walk into the door, loot the autograbber, whenever u feel like it and walk back out

[sacred river]

For hops you have to collect, then process

For truffles you can just pick and sell

You also need to sell the pale ale the next day or hours later

Which is more labor than pigs ever will

[woven tusk]

Wait, what

[sacred river]

Pale ale takes 3-ish hours to process

You can collect it and sell on the same day you harvested the hops

Which is more labor

[woven tusk]

What the everliving fuck are you talking about????

[sacred river]

Wtf I thought it was the same day

[tough remnant]

With Shepherd, every golden crackered Sheep produces 3.7 cloth per day on average. That's 44.4 cloth per barn per day. In 35 tiles of farm space, assuming a 1 tile wide access path.

That's ~729g/d/t, without even using profession swapping or off-farm kegs. Over twice that of HSG Starfruit. Well above that of the best possible mix of crops for the mainland farm. If you mix in profession swapping as well, like you would for true crop minmaxing, it comes out to 878g/d/t.

[sacred river]

Oh it was green tea that's 3 hours

[glossy ore]

tbf they look the same

green leaf made for drink

[tiny torrent]

Thanks so much! My 1.6 run thanks you

[glossy ore]

now that you mention it pale ale is just leaf juice

[woven tusk]

So we have hot leaf juice (tea) and inebriated leaf juice (ale)

[tough remnant]

I mean, this info is only really useful so lategame that you'll probably hit perfection before this actually starts kicking off, given the sheep need to max hearts and you need golden crackers per sheep.

Which means you might as well just go for Golden Chickens instead.

[gray oriole]

do flowers count as leaves

[sacred river]

No

[gray oriole]

in stardew pale ale is made using just hops flowers

so its flower juice

[sacred river]

I study biology and I can confirm flowers and leaves are two different things

[tiny torrent]

I’m not minmaxing, currently sitting on 8 sheep with full hearts in Fall Y2 and I’m satisfied with that as a gold source. In comparison to zero golden chickens lol

[tough remnant]

Animals have basically always won in the endgame for farm optimisation ever since the autopetter and autograbber were added, issue is that animals take so much longer to get going

[glossy ore]

if coffee is just bean juice, does that make lentil soup basically coffee

[woven tusk]

Vincent hates them both, so maybe they really are the same

[tiny torrent]

Btw do you mind sharing your 31 day master angler post if you have one?

[gray oriole]

not unless you roast the lentils first

[sacred river]

I recall someone telling me that a fully dedicated farm of pigs makes more money than starfruit

[tough remnant]

Never made a big post about it, just sorta talked about it with people here as I was doing it

It was a pain in the arse and I don't recommend it

I would never do it again

[formal bronze]

Is there an optimized perfect setup for mushroom log farming?

[woven tusk]

Depends on what flavor of perfect. Purple shrooms are hampered by mystic trees not being able to grow moss

[gray oriole]

how do u do master angler in 31 days wtf

[woven tusk]

Joja, sprint to GI, get Magic Bait

[gray oriole]

so its a GI speedrun more like

[final ferry]

Y’all if one of my oak trees with a tapper, turns into one of the wild trees from green rain can I still get my resin

[tough remnant]

Not really. There are theorycrafted tiling setups for infinitely large empty planes, but the actual SDV map is not infinitely large empty space

[tough remnant]

GI and Sewer Access mostly yeah

[glossy ore]

iirc it's more money/tile, but way less money/time spent

since the time spend hunting and harvesting truffles varies a lot

[tough remnant]

Yeah that's correct

[river solar]

(idk if this is new or not but) what is this creature?!?!?

[gray oriole]

an oppossum

[tough remnant]

That said, you can't really make fully dedicated starfruit farm on the mainland anyway

[restive laurel]

I realized something. Why the hell does Clint go to the saloon during green rain? Robin and them aren’t there. Sam Jodi and Vincent aren’t there. The people who live in cindersnap forest aren’t there. Like why does he show up?

[gray oriole]

emily?

[glossy ore]

emily?

you know what they say, when there's an emily there's a clint

[gray oriole]

his green rain dialogue tells u as much

[restive laurel]

Ya know I don’t think I bothered talking to him

[final ferry]

? :(

[gray oriole]

don't think so

still not sure if that's a bug or not either

[final ferry]

Damn, the rain turned almost all of my trees into wild ones

[tough remnant]

I'm surprised that works, given you can't tap the leafy green rain trees

[gray oriole]

i'd presume the game doesn't check to remove the tap when the tree transforms

[tough remnant]

I'd have guessed tapped trees would be immune personally

[final ferry]

OH BET THE DAY AFTER IT REVERTED MY TREES

Scared me, I didn’t want to re grow all of em

[mental sail]

One of the respawning ones at the bus stop converted in fall, unless I'm mistaken about having tapped it the tapper was lost (and the tree regrew transformed the same fall, regrew normal in spring, I chopped it twice)

[gray oriole]

there's some weird behavior with the green rain trees imo

still not exactly sure what's going on there

[mental sail]

It seems so pointless, not even like intentional chaos/difficulty, I really hope it's a bug and gets sorted out.

[robust magnet]

question..

how can i delete the kitchen counters in the left side? i wanna add a dining room

[gray oriole]

they get removed when u buy the room

[robust magnet]

they dont. it says remove the furniture that is blocking first

but i cant remove em

[woven tusk]

Hm? Do you have some other object against the left wall?

[robust magnet]

nope. only the kitchen counters that are already built in

[mental sail]

the furniture check is super picky, make sure there is no window, picture, carpet near that wall, but the counters themselves aren't furniture you can mess with

[woven tusk]

Maybe show a screenshot just in case, that's odd

[fathom saffron]

Was going to say screenshot pls cause that may help

[glossy ore]

the counters do not block the expansion unless you have mods changing it or have something else in the way that you might've forgotten

Hello

[broken portal]

hello

[wary hatch]

what are some of the best ways to prepare for the desert festival

[valid void]

Pretty much the same as preparing for a skull cavern run. Except it lasts 3 days.

And, instead of passing out inside the mines, you need to leave and turn in your score with Marlon. And the villagers leave at 12am so you need to leave before then if you want to check their shops.

[tiny torrent]

Hmm for my next desert festival maybe I’ll think…

• plan if there’s a spouse only item I would like to buy
• upgrade pick to max if not already
• bombs and staircases and luck food

[steady narwhal]

Hello

[fathom pulsar]

The grips the new stardew update has on me is actually insane

[vapid wind]

Hello albino

[steady narwhal]

No way Assuukaaaaa

[wary hatch]

despite playing many times ive always been real bad at skull cavern, and this time im somehow even worse 😅 how do i prepare for skull cavern run

[vapid wind]

How is you doiiiing

[steady narwhal]

Fine

Finals are coming

[vapid wind]

Oof

Same

[steady narwhal]

Well for this term

[vapid wind]

[vapid wind]

Wishing you good luck

[valid void]

Put everything you don't need in a chest.
Bring a weapon, a pickaxe,
food (without buffs), Spicy Eel, coffee (or triple shot espresso),
bombs, and ladders (use somewhat sparingly as your supply will need to last for 3 days).
Optionally, a desert teleport totem to get there sooner.

[steady narwhal]

Thank you Asuuka

[wary hatch]

thank you!!

[valid void]

Also, for the desert festival specifically, talk to the chef guy and ask for the rare fruit and unnecessarily spicy sauce.
He'll give you a food that gives +3 luck and +1 speed that can stack with spicy eels.
And talk to Gil for a quest before going into skull cavern.

[mental sail]

the little lobby room between open desert and sc proper is unchanged by the festival, you can store stuff there in preparation

[wary hatch]

wow great, didnt do this last time, albeit bcuz i was trying to avoid spoilers

[valid void]

Also optional, if you wait for Emily to arrive you can get a free outfit from her (once per day during the festival).
And talk to some guy for a free cactus (once for the entire festival).
And that 1 scholar guy in the top right corner (also once for the entire festival) to complete a quiz for calico eggs.

And the trash can left of the scholar guy has like 5-9 eggs per day.

[mental sail]

if there are dig spots, those give eggs too

[gray oriole]

i like to enter the desert early, grab shrimp donut for the fishing bonus and do the fishing quest before the festival starts

[valid void]

Also, pretty useful, you can trade 15 eggs to the 1 guy for mega bombs (if you feel you have some extra eggs for it).
Or 5 iridium ore to the desert trader for mega bombs (you're already doing sc runs).

[valid void]

I'd consider it if I knew whether or not keeping a chest at the sc entrance is safe.
I don't wanna have to bring a fishing rod and lose inventory space for the sc run or take it back to the farm and come back again.

[gray oriole]

it is safe

[wary hatch]

i did not consider mega bombs i do have some but dang i left them all on my island and its already past when he closes

[gray oriole]

the hallway with the difficulty switch uses the regular SC instance

i stash emily's costume and the cactus in there until the end of the festival

and the hoe i bring for the artifact spots

[hidden ore]

keep it in the entrance (not outside on the desert grounds) and yes, it will be there after the festival ends too.

[mental sail]

I arrive naked to save inventory space, no point carrying two outfits for most of the day

[gray oriole]

i like my swag too much to do that

I never really thought about it, but do villagers not react to you running around naked?

[valid void]

I think it's funny running through the sc with a random outfit.

[gray oriole]

I put the outfit on

I mean before emily arrives

[mental sail]

walked into the saloon like htat and was disappointed noone cared. but "naked" in stardew is pretty tame anyway

[gray oriole]

i insist on being as swagged out as i can be at all times

[valid void]

I'm just happy with my default outfit and the straw hat :p

[mental sail]

current game is very insistent I need to wear the swashbuckler hat, it gave it 3x so far

[valid void]

I know how you feel.
I can't count how many white turbans and red/blue cowboy hats I've found in the sc.

[mental sail]

Buuuut, just before I got it I looked through the wiki list for something to go with my current outfit and was disappointed I couldn't craft that one for a long while. First one dropped next day. The valley provides

[dire wigeon]

i haven't tried the new farm yet, would you guys say its any good?

[valid void]

As always, I prefer the default farm.

[vapid wind]

Its pretty nice I like i tho the farming space inst the best

[valid void]

Iirc, the meadowlands is pretty limited on farming space. Which is kinda bad considering it's the animal farm and grass can only grow on farming space.

[native rain]

Lake in the middle complicates things

Looks pretty though

I’ve enjoyed it so far

Have a 32 iridium sprinkler set up, could fit more but wouldn’t look good

SACRIFICE YOUR MATERIALS

[valid void]

[gray oriole]

not really?

it has 2066 tillable tiles, most of which are in a single pile covering the bottom 1/3 diagonal slice of the map

[valid void]

Also, I suggest dropping stuff like bugmeat (and maybe the refined quartz) to make room for better stuff.

[native rain]

Those are valuable, though. Drop the prismatic shards instead

[gray oriole]

obviously not as good as standard farm but it squeezes out a bit more space by letting you put your buildings on the untillable grass

[gray oriole]

unless u need more stone I think just turning the stone into stairs would've been better

[native rain]

But the animals can’t eat

[gray oriole]

frees up at least 2 spaces

[native rain]

The grass won’t grow

[gray oriole]

ae you fencing off the grass for some reason?

[native rain]

Where are you placing your meadowland farms? Near the path out the top?

Or barns rather

[native rain]

They need a good amount of tillable soil for food

[gray oriole]

you mean... the tillable soil outside the front door of the coop/barn?

[valid void]

They're remorseless eating machines

[native rain]

Can put it there sure

But that’s a small area

[gray oriole]

....?

are we looking at the same farm here

[native rain]

Wait are you not referring to the default coop placement

You’re saying the small area outside of the coop

[gray oriole]

I outlined all the areas in red boxes...

I'm

[native rain]

then what small area are you referring to? They don’t need a small area they need enough to have grass without you constantly replenishing it

[gray oriole]

not sure why this is confusing

do u need me to draw this out with a planner

[native rain]

I’m not sure you get what I’m saying either then

[gray oriole]

you put a coop/barn on the green tile

[native rain]

Ok yes

[gray oriole]

the animal walks forward 2 tiles out the front door and is on tillable dirt to eat gass

[native rain]

This is what I was saying, that takes up a lot of space for crops

Really struggles with room

Factor in the pond making junimo huts hard to work with

[gray oriole]

so the same anywhere else?

i don't think it matters which farm you use, changing layouts doesn't magically make it so you can plant crops on grass

[native rain]

There’s just stuff everywhere on meadowlands, makes it hard to localize everything to one area

Same problem riverland has

[valid void]

Changing layouts does increase/change the amount of room you have to plant crops, though :p

[gray oriole]

which goes right back to my original point

if you account for the fact that buildings have to take up tillable tiles on other farms with a higher tile count than meadows

you end up with roughly similar numbers of tillable tiles usable for meadow vs everything after standard farm

its jumino huts in specific that get fucked because of the pond in the smack middle

for reference, meadow farm has 2066 tillable tiles, wilderness 2131, four corners 2952, standard 3427

everytime u slap a barn down 28 tiles on four corners/wilderness get removed from being farmable

the grass tiles absolutely are a downside, but one you can halfway mitigate to turn into usable tiles for buildings

and as always, GI + greenhouse exist as the great equalizer providing 120 + 775 more tiles

[native rain]

Don’t like sleeping at GI, makes my cat go without pets and that’s just unacceptable

[gray oriole]

do you not just obelisk over

[native rain]

I obelisk, until I get that though that farm goes unused

[valid void]

I think sacrificing 28 (+15 for coop) spaces isn't that much of a loss on four corners and standard when they have 800+ more spaces than meadow.

[gray oriole]

it does mean 3 barns is enough to have meadow tie with wilderness farm for 3rd place though

slap a few more barns down, a shed or two, the stable, maybe some fish ponds if you're feeling adventureous

that's probably like 400 or so tiles of tillable land replaced with buildings?

[tough remnant]

No autopetter for actual pets 😔

[gray oriole]

maybe more actually

[valid void]

some fish ponds if you're feeling adventureous
For some reason, I suddenly feel very nervous about having placed 8 fish ponds.

[gray oriole]

well money wise fish ponds suck

[valid void]

I mostly did it for the crabs and spicy eel, tbh.

[gray oriole]

if we're talking purely from the perspective of maximizing income from the land

[valid void]

And squid ink.

[gray oriole]

if you want QoL, fish ponds are fantastic

[tough remnant]

Some fish ponds are great for utility

[gray oriole]

i have a few stingrays, a lava eel, and some other stuff I swap around

every pond's another -25 tillable tiles though

[valid void]

I have 4 lava eels, 2 crabs, 1 midnight squid, and 1 sturgeon (I got it for caviar for the missing bundle and never replaced it)

[gray oriole]

and I'm still cramming these onto the grass tiles on meadows so these don't count towards the tillable tile count

[robust magnet]

how do i delete the kitchen counters. thats my only problem here. i cant add a room

[tough remnant]

Old farm I had 10 lava eel, 4 stingray, 2 flounder, 2 midnight carp, 1 midnight squid

[gray oriole]

the counters shouldn't stop you at all

are you sure it's actually stopping you from buying the upgrade

[tough remnant]

That shouldn't be stopping you, try moving your mouse around a bit?

[robust magnet]

ive been doing for 3 hours im gonna cry now 😭😭😭😭😭

i think i need toreinstall everyhi g

or maybe some mods arent working

coz thats the only thing thats stopping me

[tough remnant]

Yeah mods are probably the cause

[fathom saffron]

what's the end white counter there? or is that part of the kitchen?

I don't remember now because I have the dining room and removed the wall

[gray oriole]

its part of the building

[fathom saffron]

ok

[gray oriole]

just as an approximate example of my farm, i'm not ingame and im too lazy to copy my exact meadow farms layout 1:1

this is probably like a good 700 or so tiles of tillable land you'd have to replace on 4corners/standard

again, the huge pond in the middle of the tillable area fucking up huts is probably still the primary issue

[mental sail]

have you tried clicking despite the shape being red? it might work

[fathom saffron]

this is my farm, to give another example

[lost moon]

yeah that's what I was going to say because mine was red (no mods) and clicking while it's red just works

[gray oriole]

mystic trees also throw a huge wrench into everything yeah

grass tiles are no longer dead space in endgame income generization

[lost moon]

just curious, what's all the pine tar for?

[fathom saffron]

well those 2 tree crops are mushroom tree farming

[rich laurel]

Oh, that's so cute! If Emily is busy for the Calico Festival, then Sandy spaces off for a moment before hurrying over to dress you.

[fathom saffron]

and I tap the trees at the same time

[lost moon]

oh gotcha

[fathom saffron]

I just haven't gotten my oak done yet

because I didn't have enough copper ore at the time

[lost moon]

gotcha I was just curious since I've yet to find a need for large quantities of pine tar

but I might just be missing something so i was curious

[fathom saffron]

oh uh I think it's useful for some crafting

[gray oriole]

rain totems... I guess

[fathom saffron]

yeah

[gray oriole]

but you only need like 25 trees to sustain that indefinitely

[fathom saffron]

I'm contemplating my oak trees and replacing them with mystic but I don't have enough

[gray oriole]

50 if u wanna do GI + SDV

[fathom saffron]

I have plans for GI

I don't do mods either btw

[pearl crystal]

so the regular mines randomly changed layouts for me, is that part of the new update???
