Which shoes

[crude talon]

I like using the weathered bouquet suit top 💖

[woven tusk]

Number 2 is the Morris fit

[neat sail]

Ooh

LMAO

[neat sail]

Omg both the bouquet suit tops are so cute

[crude talon]

Yeah I adore this for marrying seb

I normally wear this one when I do

[neat sail]

I feel like normal bouquet will be best since seb is already in all black

But I think I'll make both to be sure

[crude talon]

I wore all yellow when I married Elliott recently

[neat sail]

That's cute

[crude talon]

It is and Elliott has a green tie neck thing so it worked well. We got married in fall 🍂

[neat sail]

We're gonna have to get married in spring because I'm not bothered to use a rain totem lmao

[little arrow]

do golden animal crackers give extra chance of duck feathers? emily's dye bundle is the last thing that i need for com center

[strong geode]

when i reforge my fairy box it stays at lvl 1

nvm

[crude talon]

Springggg

[deep lodge]

Why is the audio so wonky?

[spiral bronze]

I'm pretty sure no, it just doubles the produce, but the chance to get the egg or the feather is the same, you'll just get 2 instead of 1

[neat sail]

@crude talon Help I look like a shop employee the red square looks like a nametag

[deep lodge]

Trying out the Meadows farm

[spiral bronze]

yeah!

[loud flint]

i think meadowfarm has become my new fav

i usually play four corners

[crude talon]

Awww he's cute tho

[neat sail]

I think I'm gonna go with the bouquet suit lmao

[crude talon]

:]

[spiral bronze]

I never had a favourite farm, now after the 1.6 update I'm proud to announce that I still don't have a favourite farm

[crude talon]

I hate standard farm .....

[loud flint]

i love four corners because there's sm space i can dedicate to certain things

[wintry maple]

Standard farm best farm.

[loud flint]

but meadowfarm is so nice

[crude talon]

For me standards is just to plain there is no annoying moutians or cliffs etc loll

[wintry maple]

That's the point

[crude talon]

Yes but I don't like it

[loud flint]

ive never been a fan of like any other farm tbh. i've only ever played four corners and before it released i played standard. i think from now on im gonna be playing meadow now tho!

[wintry maple]

It's supposed to be a blank canvas where you can freely decorate without anything in the way

[loud flint]

with my recolor mod + a couple of furniture mods its like. the PERFECT witchy aesthetic compared to the others

[crude talon]

Yes and I just don't like it lolll

I love forest farm. And river

[neat sail]

Standard is so hard to decorate because there's simply nothing there

[spiral bronze]

honestly the standard farm is just a boring canvas

[wintry maple]

Ok forest farm is pretty nice. But river farm? Really?

[crude talon]

Yup loll

[tidal obsidian]

do ostriches make decent money with animal crackers?

[spiral bronze]

riverland farm is the best now because of the fish smoker

[neat sail]

Yes

[wintry maple]

That's massive cope

Why whould the river farm be best all of a sudden

[spiral bronze]

that's just money talking darlin'🤑

[reef prawn]

why wouldnt you just go a couple screens over to fish at the mountain lake?

[spiral bronze]

the profits are through the roof with that little machine for free

[loud flint]

i KNEW saving my cracker was a good idea

[neat sail]

It's best for early game money

[reef prawn]

oh because it gives you a free smoker

[loud flint]

im a longggg way from having them but i had a feeling using the cracker for them would benefit me a lot more

[grave grove]

Hi

[loud flint]

hihi

[grave grove]

Him why bug

[wintry maple]

The farm layout is like the worst tho so I'm gonna say no to that one.

[neat sail]

I do not think that's meant to happen lmao

You report the bug in the forums linked there

[grave grove]

So what should I do now? I can't sleep while playing.

[wintry maple]

Did this happen when you woke up?

Idk if Mobile can do it but there is a way to go back one day.

[grave grove]

I was going to decorate the house, I broke the bed, I bought other beds from the mod, all the beds were buggy.

[wintry maple]

Have you tried to remove the mod?

[grave grove]

How do I come back?

[grave grove]

No

Like I said idk if mobile can do it. But pc stardew saves stardewdata and stardewdataold in the app data folder. So if people just remove the stardewdata and then take away the old from stardewdataold then the game will go back one day. Idk if this works on mobile so probably best to check with someone else

modes cjb item and menu and npc location

[uncut merlin]

hard af

[grave grove]

HEY

[neat sail]

Yeah please go to #archived-modded-support, it's probably a cjb bug

[grave grove]

I loaded the old save and the bed came back, but if I want a new bed it doesn't work.

[wintry maple]

Then Don't get a new bed

[twilit summit]

why cant i give pierre his missing stocklist?

[fickle zodiac]

whats the best thing i can do with my stardrop tea? i jus got it

[grave grove]

But it is not compatible at all, I have a question, where can I buy the bed from another robin instead of buying it from the mod?

[fickle zodiac]

any1

[wintry maple]

You gift it to gain a heart instantly with anylne

[neat sail]

1 heart with anyone, doesn't count as a weekly or daily gift, gives 2 hearts on a birthday

[open basin]

Gift to someone annoying to gift

Like Pierre or Alex, on their birthday

[neat sail]

Yeah I gave one to elliot cause he's bloody annoying

[grave grove]

yenj yatagi oyun içinde Nereden alabilirim

Robin?

[grave grove]

Oh didn't translate

Where can I get the new bed in game?

Robin?

Or

Craft?

[fickle zodiac]

oh awesome ty

[deep lodge]

There are carrots!!!!

This makes me happy

[south sand]

wait so now we can make honey farm indoor????

[broken portal]

no

bee houses dont work indoors

the point is you can place flowers on non tillable tiles

[tough remnant]

Huh, that's huge

The GI farm left-side setup isn't needed anymore

[broken portal]

you cant move through pots though

so you cant use some setups

[tough remnant]

Flowers inside the pathing were always a mistake anyway though

Because it makes harvesting suck

[deep lodge]

Do the chickens grow faster now?

[wintry maple]

No

[deep lodge]

It is day three and I have hens

[wintry maple]

Blue grass does make the grow faster

[vague knot]

I feel like i once had a recipe for ||Fairy Dust|| - which I dont have anymore - am I delulu mb, cause I know I crafted it with diamond and a flower, but now I cant find it anymore lol

Im just dumb, false alarm, was afraid they patched it away lol

[strong geode]

my fairy box doesnt go over lvl 2

[tidal obsidian]

do treasure hunter tackles stack on the advanced iridium rod

[wintry maple]

Unlucky

[wintry maple]

Yes.

[tidal obsidian]

epic

[broken portal]

yes, but the second one is less effective

[carmine patio]

was kinda hoping for a more vibrant blue but whatever ig

this is dried crystal fruit btw

[white fern]

will this work?

I suck at tree planting

[neat sail]

Looks the same as blueberry damn

[dusty mason]

oooh, you can see the green rain the night before it happens if you're rebuilding smth

[loud flint]

WHAAAAAAAT

whgy do i wantg to eat it..

it looks like those easter chocolate egg candies...

[rigid arch]

Been thinkim bout those fish ponds..... concerned ape HATES fish ponds I just know it..... would never let them make real money .... guh..

[woven tusk]

Animal crackers work on them and they can now generate the jellies needed for fish smokers

[rigid arch]

What fish ponds do you get other than Lava Eel and Blob Fish. Having a variety is fun but so unoptimal with the money and space they take it actually hurts

[woven tusk]

Trees cannot reach full size if there is already a full-size tree in the 8 adjacent tiles, including diagonals

[white fern]

shoot

[neat sail]

Oh shit wait trees can't grow in winter right

[woven tusk]

Flounder for ocean jelly, midnight carp for river jelly. Stingray for dragon teeth and cinder shards. Squids or midnight squids for squid ink for cooking

[woven tusk]

Tree fertilizer explicitly overrides winter tree hibernation

[neat sail]

Perf time to make a tree farm since I need wood and my acres of land isn't doing shit in winter

[woven tusk]

I used it to grow some rows of mahoganies in winter when I had a very urgent need for hardwood (raccoon stump and Willy's boat needing 300 total back-to-back)

[brisk turret]

why's everything so like

weird

those are NOT stardew cows

[rigid arch]

Still unoptimal, unfortunately. I understand yourr trying to help. I just wish I could cultivate different varieties of fish maybe legendaryies cough cough but if you're not doing blob fish or lava eel, money lost from the space and time used up even with neat drops is severe. I'm not saying all this expecting an answer or fix to the game from you, i was just sharing my thoughts on pond

Sorry for rambling

[soft wasp]

Blue Discus fish ponds are nice if you don't wanna get a banana sapling

[rigid arch]

Most ginger island fish aren't bad like common fish, I get that

[soft wasp]

But yeah I do agree that fish ponds are overall missed potential

[woven tusk]

The point was never money, really; actual fishing is the way the Fishing skill generates it. Fish ponds are like crab pots: passive generation of useful resources

[woven tusk]

Smoked iridium Legend II is completely insane and fish ponds can help you get the smokers for it

[soft wasp]

They kinda fail at that too tho

[woven tusk]

I'm on the beach farm, so what am I gonna use the space for? Crops?

[soft wasp]

Out of all the fish available there are just a couple that sometimes make a useful resource

[woven tusk]

They also have the very niche effect of being a water source (fill your watering can without a well and irrigate nearby rice and taro)

[soft wasp]

There's definitely room for giving a lot of other fish interesting resources to generate

[rigid arch]

Animal Crackers working on them feels like a last minute, too. Fish ponds arent included in their description so people may have to use the wiki which isn't very intuitive

[soft wasp]

Iirc Crab Pot fish are the only group of fish that have a default list of items they can generate, and it's used to make all of them generate trash...

[woven tusk]

The question in that case is why you're not using actual crab pots for that

[soft wasp]

Why not let all river fish produce truffles? All lake fish ores? All ocean fish treasure chests? You get the gist

It still wouldn't make all of them viable but it'd help at least

[rigid arch]

The buffs were nice, but honestly not fuxing the overall issues with fish ponds. There needs to somply be fish pond upgrades like barns and coops and they'd likely scale just as well

[woven tusk]

I still kinda wanna know where the stingrays get the dragon teeth from when they're nowhere near Ginger Island

The fish pond upgrade is the population capacity quests.
What you really want is for the increased population to matter more than it currently does, I think

[rigid arch]

And yeah, I have like, 16 ponds, They're not producing useful items even at pop.10 lol. Hell they sometimes don't even produce still at 10 population

[woven tusk]

Wonder if a "make fish ponds produce rarer stuff more frequently and/or in greater quantity" effect can be rolled into Mariner

[rigid arch]

It just sucks that my favorite animal building likely won't see further improvements. I dont think CA reads every channel 😂

[soft wasp]

I should revisit my fish pond overhaul mod. I know there are others out there but I have my own thoughts on how it should be done

[tall charm]

I forgot ponds are a thing lol
I started a new save on my switch earlier this month, and theres still so many things from updates that I just dont think about

[rigid arch]

I made an upgraded pond concept if you're interested

[woven tusk]

I want to add some ponds but never have the time to swing by Robin's lately due to frantically trying to manage the island farm and fit Lava Eeling sessions in

And today I need to visit Marnie to buy pigs and then sprint to the SC

[rigid arch]

Don't forget the fish in the volcano caldera then, better eel chances

[woven tusk]

That's where I go, yes. The issue I have now is that I'm too high-strung, so when the lava monkeys are present, their splashing causes me to click and reel my line in when nothing's actually hooked

[white fern]

uh

they're growing

[rigid arch]

They wont pass stage 3 of growth

[woven tusk]

Yeah. But about half of them will stop right before full size

[white fern]

shoot

[rigid arch]

Sorry, yeah

[white fern]

which ones do I get rid of then

[rigid arch]

Shoulda scooped em up before you let them grow overnight because now you might not get the seeds unfortunately

[woven tusk]

Well, you can actually wait for them to reach full size before culling, fwiw

So let's se...

[lofty axle]

(You don't need a scarecrow for trees)

[rigid arch]

Fishing noise #2 is just Better change my mind.

[spiral bronze]

btw I was shocked to find out that "caldera" is, apparently, a real word and not a made-up one for the location

crazy

[white fern]

oh thats not for the trees lol

[woven tusk]

I would cut the second and fourth rows. And I'd move the stumps up to nestle directly between the trees

[primal pulsar]

Does the dehydrator spawn on both options for dementia?

[lofty axle]

only shrooms

[woven tusk]

Any noise sets me off. I also had recyclers and smokers and the bait maker up there with me, and their Bwoops were also making me do it

[rigid arch]

For who.

[lofty axle]

to balance them again after addition of shroom logs

[rigid arch]

😂

[white fern]

so these two?

oiop

[primal pulsar]

That honestly makes shrooms better since it gives you easier free money

[white fern]

character got cropped out lol

[woven tusk]

That's 1 and 3 (or 3 and 5)

[lofty axle]

again

[woven tusk]

Normal trees don't need the surrounding tiles to be empty, they just need them to not contain other full-grown trees. So you can move the shroom logs into row 3.
Tree log tree log tree log tree.

[white fern]

so this is mine vs my friends skills rn

[lofty axle]

I like to place the seeds like this
but there are other efficient tree layouts, maybe even more efficient

[lofty axle]

how do you have these greeny corners around your community center stars

[old raven]

which one would you guys say is best

[woven tusk]

I normally like staggering the rows like the other person's photo, but you can get more trees in range this way I think

[woven tusk]

I prefer Defender but lately I think I'd prefer the Scout side more

[rigid arch]

Damage is damage is damage

[woven tusk]

Acrobat means the hammer multislam special attack is ready in 3 seconds instead of 6. Or in 1.5 seconds if you add Artful

[rigid arch]

Why try to survive hits when you should be trying to kill them

[woven tusk]

Because it's already possible to reliably OHKO a Royal Serpent without Fighter/Brute

[rigid arch]

Im a sword user so idk what an ability is

[woven tusk]

When everything dies in one hit, more damage is worthless

[old raven]

yeah im a sword user idk if that changes much

well i have both a sword and a hammer on me always but i tend to use the sword mostly

[woven tusk]

It changes a lot, and I do recommend trying out the hammer multislam on a cornered non-aerial enemy. Do you know about how it works?

[old raven]

when you say multislam do you mean its secondary attack or something else lol

[woven tusk]

Yes.
If you mash the regular attack button while the secondary attack animation is underway, you get an extra hit for each press.

[old raven]

oh damn i didnt know that

[woven tusk]

Gonna try and record it to show it off...

[old raven]

i should start giving that a try

[rigid arch]

Is that intentional? That sounds super broken wtf

[woven tusk]

The tradeoff is that the slam cannot crit.

[rigid arch]

Honestly unfair to swords and daggers if itentional

Lol crits are awful in stardew

[woven tusk]

And the best way to use it, involves taking the crit skill at Lv5

[woven tusk]

Not in 1.6 anymore, no

[rigid arch]

Wack

[woven tusk]

I found out about it in 1.3; it may well have existed since launch though I cannot say for certain
ConcernedApe has had literal years to patch it out but has not.

It's balanced by its long base cooldown (6sec vs dagger quad-stab having 3sec and sword parry having 2sec) and hammers being slow at killing things with normal attacks due to knocking enemies out of melee range

[rigid arch]

Is the sword a parry or block? Parry implies you get a damage buff after successfully blocking

[old raven]

oh wow thats good

[woven tusk]

Only works against cornered land enemies due to the comical amounts of knockback they'd be experiencing from that many hammer hits

Can still get two or sometimes even three consecutive hits on an incoming aerial one though

It's also launch them to the opposite freaking end of the map if you land three, but... at least it's out of your face

I got this dwarven hammer from foolishly trying to fit a volcano delve and a lava eel fishing session in one day. I didn't make it to the caldera, but... it was still worth it because now I don't need to buy the galaxy hammer anytime soon. This will work fine.

With Acrobat, I can do this twice as often.

(You can see that the hammer's red cooldown thing starts already half-emptied)

[woven tusk]

To parry is just to block. Videogames tend to include a reversal effect to reward skillful play

My eventual plan is to have an Artful Infinity Gavel alongside a crit dagger (Iridium Needle or maybe Dragontooth Shiv depending on whether the latter can still manage a sufficiently high crit rate) with the +75 Critpower Innate Enchant (which... does not actually work like having +75 Critpower, but instead provides a bigger multiplier than Desperado)

[undone imp]

yeah +75 critpower straight up multiplies crit damage by 2.5. extremely funny

[woven tusk]

This is someone's clip of what current crit dagger builds do, and it really is that consistent

(It's with Desperado, though)

[analog veldt]

What's best to do to the crop?

[woven tusk]

Blobfish Voorhees

[analog veldt]

dehydrate or jam or something?

[woven tusk]

Be more specific? Which crop?

[analog veldt]

Uh not sure what should I plant it fourth year

[woven tusk]

Dehydrator is 1.5x sell value (but works extremely fast)
Jar is 2.0x sell value
Keg is 3.0x sell value for fruit, 2.25x sell value for vegetable (but works extremely slow)

[rigid arch]

Jams are good for low-price things like blueberries and peppers and parsnips

[woven tusk]

I would not keg vegetables unless it's Hops (to produce ale) or Wheat (to produce beer) or Potato (specifically for the one special order from Pam)

[rigid arch]

Kegs are better for high value
Dehydrators are all the leftovers that you made too much of to go in kegs while theyre busy

[woven tusk]

Dehydrators are meant for quickly and easily processing a massive number of low-value items (especially blueberries or cranberries)

[analog veldt]

Mushroom?

[woven tusk]

Yes, mushrooms can be dehydrated if you have a lot of them from a big mushroom log operation

Jars would be stronger but maybe you don't have enough for it

[rigid arch]

If you can consistently get purples yeah

Can you jar non-brown mushrooms?

[woven tusk]

Yes

[rigid arch]

Like it's intriguing thats those are the only ones

[analog veldt]

I see thx so much

[rigid arch]

I tried to jar red shrooms to no avail huh

[woven tusk]

Yeah, they're poisonous so they can't be processed

The edible ones (literally every other shroom type, I think) can be jarred or dehydrated

[tidal vortex]

how do i get him to find a wife

[rigid arch]

Thats just cowards speech, im sure SOMEONE would love poisonous mushrooma

[woven tusk]

Wait a week and he does

[tidal vortex]

the season changed and hes still looking for a wife

its been like 7 weeks

[white dust]

I went all in on sheep, I have 8 barns full of them now and still building, but I just can't get enough animal crackers 😭. Only 18 of the sheep are cracked

[woven tusk]

That's odd. Maybe a mod broke it?

[rigid arch]

Goats are so nice now with crackers ppl slept on goats pre1.6 so now they rise above pigs with golden crackers

[woven tusk]

The raccoon family "progresses" seven days after you deliver each bundle

[gray oriole]

Goats?

[rigid arch]

Goats?

[white dust]

I don't think crackered goats beat pigs from the last calculations I saw. But it's been a bit. They def lose to sheep though with shepherd

[woven tusk]

840G per Artisan gold goat cheese, two per two days (i.e. effectively daily)...
Pigs would definitely still win by a massive margin per animal, though I do not know if that is still the case per tile

[undone imp]

no way they don't, and even crackered ostriches beat crackered goats

[gray oriole]

Even accounting for wandering space i think pigs still win

[rigid arch]

😭 whats the point of crackers then

[tidal vortex]

i sleep for like 7 days at a time then go to check and hes still alone

[rigid arch]

Wasnt it to help other nonpig animals

[woven tusk]

Max-heart Pigs average 3 truffles per day they can do their work, or 3750G with botanist. Minus 1/4th of the year (winter) and another 1/4th of the remainder (rain), is... 2109G daily avg

[white dust]

It is hard to fill tons of barns with crackers. Like it's easy to max 1 or two barns. But if you are maxing space on farm with animals you will always be lagging on crackers I think. Unless someone has figured out a fast way to grind them that I havent

[gray oriole]

Fish spam with 50% chest rate

Like 4% chance of cracker per fish cast overall if no trash

So fish somewhere where the fish is easy

[woven tusk]

Magnet and Pirate get you to 45% before luck effects, so you might not even need a treasure hunter bobber

[white dust]

Yeah I did that math and got the 4% too

Imo that is excruciatingly slow lol

[gray oriole]

U dont use treasure hunter

Double spinner

[woven tusk]

Ooh, lightning fast hooks

Easy fish... what's the trash rate in the sewer?

[white dust]

What about treasure totems if you have a big field of mystic trees?

[woven tusk]

I'll be really annoyed if it's somehow lower than the trash rate on the farm

[white dust]

Does generous enchant on hoe double crackers?

[woven tusk]

Hm, magnet is nonstandard bait so now it should also give one reroll per trash hook

[gray oriole]

Getting enough moss to farm treasure totems is even worse

Unless u wanna skip playing the game and just spam sleep in bed

In which case animal crackers arent even needed anyway

70 moss per 7 syrup per cracker on avg

[white dust]

Fishing all day slows down the game too much for me, with the extreme amounts of paused game time, so I'm looking for anything else I can

[woven tusk]

This makes me wonder if there's a case to be made for including a green rain tree in an oak resin (and shroom log) farm, to generate moss faster

[gray oriole]

Also if u have a big field of mystic trees u dont even need the crackers anymore

[gray oriole]

I started doing this

[white dust]

Well you can put trees in places you can't put barns

[gray oriole]

If just for making mushroom logs

[woven tusk]

I think the takeaway was more that "if you have a mystic tree and shroom log farm, you already have a crazy money source and won't need crackers to generate more"

[white dust]

Well yeah the sheep are very lucrative on their own without crackers too. The point is more money not enough money 😅. I already have perfection on this farm.

[gray oriole]

Do golden chickens then

[white dust]

No I want sheep

Still doesn't solve the cracker problem anyway, I'd then want them for the goldies

[woven tusk]

Do crackers drop from blasted stones in SC?

[gray oriole]

Get to work then

[woven tusk]

Because if they do, you could... delve SC

[gray oriole]

Barrels and crates and chests only

[woven tusk]

Darn

[white dust]

I tried monster musk murdering spiders and got a few drops, not that consistent though.

[gray oriole]

Anyway the technically optimal way is to do the doll farm i guess

Assuming they drop

[steady narwhal]

And if you want to have many kids

[woven tusk]

And then no longer have any kids

[lofty axle]

some more layouts
They seem to override SC's random layouts

[woven tusk]

...over and over

Yeah, it can happen in the mines and volcano too

[lofty axle]

yup
I got one new in VD, but didn't screenshot it

[old raven]

was in the volcano earlier and accidentally lost a dragon tooth because one of those red armoured things blew it up smh

[lofty axle]

I like to screenshot and post here all the new layouts I see lol

[woven tusk]

What're we gonna do about it? Kill him? That's how this mess happened

[lofty axle]

[old raven]

my thoughts exactly

[lofty axle]

But I thought they would blend into the randomness with the existing levels
Instead they override the layout for a certain level for entire day

looks funny in SC as I'm grinding rexes

[undone imp]

some of the new volcano layouts are technically broken lol

like they try to generate overlapping structures

though i haven't yet noticed it resulting in particularly severe breakage

(also the old special maps are way rarer now, because the new maps count as "special" despite not being limited to 1 per day limit)

[twilit summit]

is this like a new issue with the update or

[fallow osprey]

Does anyone know what the prismatic butterfly from the statue of blessings gives? I have got it quite a few items and I decided to try and find it

Nvm I just found it and dropped about 30-50k gold

[finite plover]

I have been confused about this since the patch notes for 1.6 dropped so
Does anyone know what Ape means by "Baby toss now has a chance to crit"?

I just imagined this as throwing your baby at enemies to use as a weapon lmao

[undone imp]

it's when you interact with a baby in the crib, apparently there's a rare different animation for it

[topaz hornet]

It’s like when you throw the baby up in the air to get relationship points when they are still in the crib

[hidden ore]

the crit has the baby go much higher, you get a little trail of smoke underneath it, and you get a full heart of friendship iirc

[topaz hornet]

When I first read this I thought the same

[hidden ore]

(I got a crit exactly once and that's how I recall it)

[undone imp]

friendship gain is the same

[hidden ore]

when I first read it, I thought it meant critical damage to the baby and was actually really worried about the baby toss 😆

[hidden ore]

well my first toss was the crit. and I got a full heart from it. so I dunno

[brisk turret]

man i sure love "more bats"

really missing that galaxy hammer rn

[white dust]

Yes this broke on 1.6.6 unfortunately.

[hidden ore]

those cat statues do deal out the chaos

[twilit summit]

[undone imp]

children just start out with 1 heart by default (or well, the first toss will give 1 heart, after that it's 20 points of friendship per)

[neat sail]

You're kidding me I need tomatoes

[hidden ore]

hm maybe I have never noticed that before. anyways I was genuinely shocked

[white dust]

Someone put this small content patcher mod on GitHub if you are willing to use mods to fix the 1.6.6 stocklist bug
https://github.com/AnzaManiac/Stardew_StocklistFix/releases

[dire yoke]

So bee houses work with pots now? ...but still not inside, right?

[steep hazel]

okay I know he's supposed to be looking at the ball, but I swear at a glance it looks like his eyes are going off in different directions and I laughed my ass off at it

[crimson crater]

emily has a shard available for the festival. however, i already have galaxy sword and a few pristmatic shards at home. do i still get it, or get some mystery boxes?

[white dust]

Save it for the final day MRC imo unless you already bought that

[dire yoke]

Up to you. You'll want some for enchantments in the forget room

[crimson crater]

mrc?

[dire yoke]

MRC?

[crimson crater]

heh

[white dust]

Magic rock Candy

[crimson crater]

ahh

which shop is that at?

[white dust]

The main one

[crimson crater]

ah

[white dust]

Only on final day though. I guess it's 250 so you'll still have half left plus whatever else you add to it

[crimson crater]

the festival is 15-16, right?

[white dust]

17th too

[crimson crater]

oh ok that explains it

thanks so much!

[normal arch]

1.6 on console when?

[rich lake]

We don't know

They're working on it

[slender creek]

shes such a cutie

[normal arch]

I find it f****** disrespectful whenever companies just don't acknowledge console players Beyond we are working on the update. I'm sorry that I don't have a gaming PC that doesn't give you the right to sit there for months and just say we are working on the update when. As far as anyone can tell, you are doing nothing and you're working on the PC version because you've released six smaller updates on top of the large main update since the last time you did anything for console. It probably doesn't help that I have been sitting here for almost a year waiting for the craftopia update to come. It shouldn't be that hard to give some amount of information beyond we are working on it

[dire yoke]

ConcernedApe isn't a company, he's one guy. Give him some slack. He can't do PR and work on console at once.

[normal arch]

He isn't doing either of those things cuz he's only focusing on the PC version

As far as I can tell, he might just be doing a single line of code a day because there's been 1.6 and then five or six smaller updates

[mental sail]

You're not very good at telling these things

[normal arch]

My frustration is probably not helped by the fact that I have been sitting here for basically a year. Waiting for an update for craftopia and the devs have said f*** all in 6 months

[rich lake]

For console, the parent companies have to approve the updates, making it much more complicated and longer to release updates to console. For this reason, CA first polishes out the update by fixing bugs on PC, and then releases a clean version to consoles

Please be mindful that CA is working as hard as he can, and no he didn't forget about console or mobile

[normal arch]

Then he could say something more than a single sentence once in awhile about console and mobile, he could for example say if he sent off a build to whichever company for approval, or he could say he's still in the bug fixing phase but he doesn't say anything just like anyone else who has a console version because they don't care about their console players

Because they know they're not getting as much money from their console players

[rich lake]

#haunted-chocolatier message

^^

Respectfully, he is working extremely hard and went above and beyond for this update. You complaining doesn't make it come out quicker so please be respectful

[normal arch]

My complaint isn't so much how long it is taking, I complaint is the fact that as far as I can tell the only update he has given about the progress on console is he is working on it

[pulsar stump]

Yeah he's just one guy and said he's gonna work on releasing the update for consoles and mobile as soon as he can

[normal arch]

And like I said earlier working on it could be a single line of code a day and that's technically not wrong

[pulsar stump]

I don't know how these things work, I'm not tech savvy but I know it must take a long time to port the game

[normal arch]

And he's just been pushing update after update for PC which doesn't help with his whole. I am working on it

[pulsar stump]

He's entitled to writing one line of code a day

Besides. It's PATCH updates

[tender meteor]

Development is almost never a straight line. I think it's just a way to avoid causing backlash by making dates that turn out to be unfeasible.

[pulsar stump]

The recent one is just fixes

[normal arch]

There are absolutely ways to give progress updates without committing to a release date. He could say how many known bugs there are as one example

[mental sail]

Fixing pc version first then porting the whole thing is a lot more efficient than patching every version with everything, especially with consoles' convoluted update process

[pulsar stump]

It's frustrating and upsetting that console and mobile players have to wait, but really there's not much you can do and complaining about it like CA is a big corporation and not just a guy updating a game, porting it to consoles and mobile while also working on a whole separate project

It's just really disrespectful to him as a creator that you can't see how hard it must be for him at the moment with all this juggling

The update will release when he can get it released and that's that.

[normal arch]

Then he could communicate that, my frustration is the communication, It's the fact that no matter where I go no matter what game I play, I feel disrespected by all publishers, and then people say that concerned AP is actually a caring person and as far as I can tell he is no different from anyone else

All he says is he's doing something, It shouldn't be that hard to at least say what you're doing

And that's all I am saying

[pulsar stump]

You really can't compare CA to bigger publishers who might not care about their players but as BlahDiBloo said it would be much easier fixing bugs on the pc version and then releasing the bug free version on console and mobile
I get that you're frustrated but you still gotta understand that he is doing his best and he doesn't have to tweet about every single STEP he takes

[normal arch]

There's a big difference between communicating every single step he's taking and saying he's doing something, there is a colossal gap between those and I'm not expecting him to land more towards saying everything he's doing, I just want to know that I'm not being abandoned just like what Terraria did. They took almost two f****** years to get an update out and then I go from that into craftopia taking almost a year and saying f****** nothing for pretty much that entire time and now here I've gotten nothing but in all of those examples they communicate quite clearly what the f*** is going on with their PC players. Something? Anything? That's all I want. Not a detailed list of every bug, not a detailed list of every step he's taken. Just something more than trust me bro. I'm working on the update

Because frankly my trust has been broken every single time trusted someone

[gray oriole]

Why is this an issue

[gray oriole]

Nevermind the previous question, im no longer interested

[gray oriole]

Almost never a straight line is an understatement

[mellow atlas]

Why are mobile and console players such cry baby's

Hello

[rich lake]

[mellow atlas]

If you really want to play the game just 100 percent do a new playthrough or try to challenge yourself while you are waiting instead of begging dev to hurry up

[gray oriole]

Way to stereotype an entire population

[mellow atlas]

This is exactly the reason Starfield and cyberpunk failed

[gray oriole]

This is a server with 200k+ ppl, probably a third to half is console/mobile

one person came in here to be salty

[mellow atlas]

There have been multiple

[austere briar]

did leo's schedule after his 6 heart event change in this update? i can't seem to find him anywhere on ginger island or the main area

[gray oriole]

There could be hundreds and you’d still be stereotyping tens of thousands of users for the actions of 0.1% of their population

[gray oriole]

Maybe? Wiki’s still currently updating for 1.6

[austere briar]

yeah i was using the wiki to try to find him and having no luck lmao

[gray oriole]

And uh the schedule files is a lot of raw text to crawl through so nobody really wants to go thru it

[austere briar]

he's the only person i still need to make friends with for perfection

[gray oriole]

U may wanna consider the mod that displays npc positions on the map

[austere briar]

yeah that could be helpful, thanks for responding anyway!

[broken portal]

no

[austere briar]

ugh i hope my game's not bugged then, i don't play with mods so i don't know why it would be

[sweet epoch]

i don't even think CA is developping the game

[neat sail]

Ooh thanks, I use mods already so that's no problem

[sweet epoch]

he's hired someone and i think the other guy is doing everything

[rich lake]

Huh? He's been in charge of all content, art, everything in 1.6 when it comes to new things. The only help he got was with coding

[sweet epoch]

how do u know he was in charge of it?

[gray oriole]

How do u know he wasnt

[sweet epoch]

cause the other guy posts on discord when 1.6.4, 1.6.5, 1.6.6 is coming out even tho ca doesn't tweet about it

[rich lake]

Yeah sorry it was actually me

[rich lake]

What other guy?

[sweet epoch]

the sve guy

[gray oriole]

The guy helping with the coding probably?

There’s a lot of ways to explain it

Im not part of their group so obviously i dont know the actual answer

But as someone involved in indie game development, sometimes ppl involved in very large projects like mods are given a few days head start to update their side

[rich lake]

Yeah the person that made SVE is one of the people helping with the 1.6 coding

[austere briar]

update i have found the boy i think i just cannot see LMAO

[gray oriole]

Given SMAPI is able to near instantly update their side whenever an update is out, it looks like they already have the update done before it releases

[finite horizon]

(FlashShifter, Casey, Pathos, and Myuu are all on the team)

But we don't know details on who does what

[neat sail]

How do I guarantee a no-star squid for squidfest rewards at lvl10 fishing
Fishing right next to shore keeps giving me silver

[gray oriole]

So clearly at least some of the major mod developers are getting a headstart

[gray oriole]

?

Quality doesnt matter

[neat sail]

Huh

Is it not

[gray oriole]

It just checks squids caught

[neat sail]

1 regular star

[gray oriole]

Quality is completely irrelevant its still a squid

[neat sail]

Oh ffs the stupid sign is in quality colours

So I thought it was based on quality

[gray oriole]

Ah nope its total squid

[neat sail]

feck

I caught 7 more squid than needed I could have left much earlier

[gray oriole]

Also bugfixing is generally the last step in an update, something which requires coding work

Ergo whoever does coding is gonna be the last person working on it

[edgy epoch]

how do i get an irridium scythe

[gray oriole]

U can do all the art, balance decisions, design, etc, you still have to wait on the coder

[gray oriole]

Farming mastery

[neat sail]

Farming mastery

[gray oriole]

So idk why you’re acting like the coder knowing when the update is out is a “gotcha” moment

[edgy epoch]

i feel silly asking what farming mastery is, im kinda new

[neat sail]

Key to the town is so bloody nice for GI

[gray oriole]

Hit lvl 10 in every skill

Go to near where the sewer entrance is in cindersap and check the new door for Mastery levels

[edgy epoch]

ohhhh thank you!

[stiff wadi]

is there a place where I can leave a comment with something to add to the wiki? just confirmed that treasure totems used on the farm at ginger island during the quest WILL provide qi beans. ngl this is how im gonna just scrape by and get it done in time lol

3 totems got me 27 beans

[strong geode]

after getting access to the mastery cave you also need to get even more xp for every reward

[dire yoke]

Foraging Mastery is necessary to get an autopetter on non-JojaMart playthroughs

[strong geode]

it is? in what way

[broken portal]

no?

theyre still in sc chests

[dire yoke]

1/200 chance from Golden Mystery Boxes

[lofty axle]

Is it worth to buy magic rock candies from the racoons for 20 golden mystery boxes?

[dire yoke]

Up to you, but if you're going to use them, sure

[gray oriole]

personally i'd say no

[broken portal]

if you dont want autopetters yes

[gray oriole]

magic rock candies are kinda a fair bit more common in 1.6 imo

[broken portal]

you generally dont get that much good stuff from mystery boxes

[neat sail]

You can also get mrc from mystery boxes

I've got one from them

[broken portal]

but if youre not against using a predictor then just open them

[finite warren]

My iridium fish collection is complete

[neat sail]

I have 140+ until autopetter but only 8 until my second MRC

[gray oriole]

if u have no particular use for the prismastic shards from mystery boxes

its like a 0.8% chance to get a MRC from gold mystery boxes at the rate of 1 shard = 0.33 MRC

which... is something I guess

anyway

[neat sail]

Brb giving villagers gifts at 11pm because of key to the town

[gray oriole]

if you do SC during desert fes u get 4 a year guaranteed

3 from gil, 1 from the shop

personally I don't really like doing SC so those 3 runs at the start of the year are enough for my needs, but ig if u wanna do more SC it could be nice

[neat sail]

FUCK can't give people gifts while they're sleeping just read jack be nimble instead of gifting to alex

[violet creek]

You read him a bedtime story

[dense yacht]

If you don’t keep any animals at all and don’t care about crackers or petters, which mastery first?

[lofty axle]

I went for mining

Because better furnaces

[violet creek]

I usually go for combat first just for the trinkets lol

Farming is still great tho bc it makes harvesting large amounts of crops so much easier

[lofty axle]

Iridium scythe is a gift from the heaven honestly

+if you don't have walnuts from crops yet, it makes them drop even from scythe only crops

[green minnow]

Yes harvesting crops!

The scythe is amazing

[woven tusk]

Weirdly, if you have to replant the crops, then hand-harvesting might actually be more time-efficient (time freezes during the brief animation while you collect the crops by hand).

[green minnow]

It’s so satisfying tho

[woven tusk]

I'd love the scythe but since I gotta walk all over the field replanting the seeds anyway... it won't actually help me in the end just yet

[lofty axle]

Cranberries.

[woven tusk]

I already planted hundreds of starfruit on Ginger Island

[violet creek]

Even when I had to replant i always cleared the field before replanting bc I am not efficient lmao

[woven tusk]

It's not as efficient, but it's also... less of a headache to do it this way

[robust spoke]

do trees outside the farm grow in winter?

[woven tusk]

Let's see, it was around 300 starfruit seeds (without DSG, since I ran out at the time). I definitely don't have the kegs or jars to do it... But five Dehydrators should be able to just keep up with yield.

[woven tusk]

lmao trees inside the farm don't grow in winter either
No, but Tree Fertilizer overrides it

Desert and Ginger Island can still grow trees just fine since winter doesn't properly exist there

[robust spoke]

though they would grow since trees outside the farm just automatically appear

[woven tusk]

They might sprout but I don't think they can properly advance to the next stage

Since that uses the same growth programming

[gray oriole]

naturally spawned trees outside the farm regrow starting at stage 3 specifically

[woven tusk]

Does that part still work in winter? I haven't checked (I was "saving" them for Robin's Resource Rush, which didn't spawn until the final week of Winter. And then met the quota clearcutting like one-fourth of my farm...)

[gray oriole]

i have no idea about if it does the check during winter

just that when they do regrow it skips them to 3

[woven tusk]

Yeah... Same

[keen wren]

what is MRC?

[woven tusk]

Magic Rock Candy

[keen wren]

ah ok

also i cant give this to pierre for some reason?

[woven tusk]

New bug

[keen wren]

oh ok

[sacred river]

Oh shit is that the stock list

[keen wren]

yes

[sacred river]

Cooking all recipes going to be significantly harder now until it's fixed ong

[keen wren]

why?

[woven tusk]

They were probably using Ginger Island to get offseason crops

[keen wren]

oh ok

[woven tusk]

Via Pierre selling offseason seeds

[sacred river]

There are still the Night Market shops selling the season seeds but still

If you miss them you have to wait a whole year

[woven tusk]

I keep a few of each crop every season in storage, just in case of weird stuff like that

It's also useful even within a season, e.g. someone puts up a Help Wanted ad for a crop at a bad time

[neat sail]

If you're on pc there's a mod fix, it's registered as "giftable = off" after 1.6.6

[keen wren]

how do i fix it?

[neat sail]

Yeah I normally do that but apparently I forgot to save some tomatoes

[keen wren]

i am playing modded pc

[neat sail]

https://github.com/AnzaManiac/Stardew_StocklistFix/releases

[keen wren]

thx

[neat sail]

Np

[high creek]

I'm assuming it broke somehow because of this change in 1.6.6
"Fixed being able to trash Pierre’s Missing Stocklist, or give it away at the Feast of the Winter Star."

Just one of those... fix an issue... which made a new issue for some reason.

[woven tusk]

Yeah, exactly

It feels like the kinda thing that might happen due to working while distracted or half-asleep

[neat sail]

Yeah whatever CA did toggled giftable = off in all circumstances instead of just toggling it for NPCs except pierre yk

[woven tusk]

You can no longer give to stocklist to characters other than Pierre. ||You also can't give the stocklist to Pierre himself either.||

[little arrow]

is the desert no longer a safe place to farm trees due to the new festival?

[woven tusk]

It's like the Night Market, it has its own parallel map

[high creek]

Festival is a new map, similar to the night market

So everything will be 'gone' during the festival

But come back after

[neat sail]

Yup

[woven tusk]

Just tucked away in an inaccessible pocket dimension, but safe and sound

[broken portal]

truly a CA moment

[sacred river]

1.6.7 update confirmed

🤩

[gray oriole]

inb4 1.6.7 is just more bugfixe

[quaint tartan]

Can i use luck on fish derbys? Or it doesnt affect them

Should i use + fishing food instead?

[woven tusk]

Trout aren't very strong, and Squid are a little easier than Catfish (same difficulty level but an easier pattern); you won't need either. The biggest helps are the Bait Maker to make targeted bait, and a Dressed Spinner to hook things faster. If you struggle against Squid, you can also try a Trap Bobber to make your catches more consistent

[quaint tartan]

Oh im sorry i shoulda clarified; so not that i have trouble fishing it was more so if the stats would make them spawn more often or youd get more tickets

[woven tusk]

The same still applies?

Because targeted bait and a dressed spinner is how you get them to spawn more often

[quaint tartan]

Ah i see ok ty

[woven tusk]

If the derby hasn't arrived yet, you can go for a trout/squid in advance so you can already have some bait when you begin

[quaint tartan]

Okok tysm

[little arrow]

tf? i got a void egg without void chickens? i thought the witch would've killed a chicken or smth

[woven tusk]

That's what the witch does on the coop

She does something much more harmful if you have a slime hutch (converts all the slimes to black, removing all other color-specific drops)

[violet creek]

she tries to curse your chickens eggs
little did she know we adore the void chickens

[little arrow]

what about a barn?

[woven tusk]

She straightup ignores barns

Coop and slime hutch are the only buildings she can do anything to

[little arrow]

oh
i thought i might get void milk or smth

[violet creek]

i wish we had void cows too thatd be fun

we have so many chicken variants we need more cow variants

[white ridge]

Because chickens are the mascot

[violet creek]

but cow

[rigid arch]

but regular chickens better for gold-quality mayo ‼️

[white ridge]

Void chickens make gifts for krobus though

[violet creek]

easy loved iridium gift for shadow boy once my void chicken be very happy

[rigid arch]

optimal play is putting a mayo machine next to him and buying a void egg to make mayo 😎

[uncut mantle]

Carrots are more of a really good food source than a good money crop tbh

[sacred river]

They're pretty hard to amass tho

[uncut mantle]

And once you get a lot of seed makers you'll have money to buy food
so idk

[sacred river]

Seed maker is level 9 farming lol

[dusty mason]

wait, did that one rock in the bus stop get removed?

[sacred river]

At that point just eat cheese

[uncut mantle]

yea

[woven tusk]

Carrots help until Salmonberries

After Salmonberries, you can still feed Carrots to your horse to make it run faster for the rest of the day

[mental sail]

carrots and their ilk are still very useful (and cheap) for those who can't eat so precisely that salmonberries make a difference in sc

talking about myself ofc

[harsh plover]

Wait do bubble really not spawn at fish zone 5 anymore??

[cyan minnow]

Are the new alternate mine layouts supposed to come with flooring? I encountered a layout with some dark stone flooring that really did not look very nice...

[mental sail]

it does look weird in skeleton levels, elsewhere it's fine

that flooring are the wood planks that sometimes hold barrels

[lofty axle]

REALLY?

I'm gonna go newm with this one

[gray oriole]

I have a perpetual row of carrots i keep for my horse

[primal pulsar]

That 0.4+ speed matters tbh

Feeding a carrot for a little bit of speed for the horse will matter

Gotta do it everyday though

[gray oriole]

Half a coffee but it lasts the whole day

Cheaper than an espresso in terms of cost to speed

[primal pulsar]

Yeah

Just pair it up with crab cakes, the new speed buff from the statue

And way of the wind

and even coffee

[woven tusk]

Nyooooom

[primal pulsar]

Gas gas gas

[nova flame]

if you think about it, fishing zone 5 is the deepest zone coded. there is no zone 6

[polar moss]

I adore crab cakes

[nova flame]

there is also no zone 4, for some reason

[crimson olive]

Are the special gift dialogue in the wiki all the special dialogue that there is?

[primal pulsar]

Fr

[gray oriole]

Probably not

[open basin]

That's exactly what I fear

[gray oriole]

A bunch were added in 1.6 through various patches

[open basin]

I think I'll only need to wait until Summer tho, hot pepper and poppy

[gray oriole]

Ppl who r both willing to both datamine and edit the wiki r pretty few

[primal pulsar]

Give it 4-6 months

[open basin]

I completely forgot I need them 💀
I used the poppy to make the poppyseed muffin and I threw all my hot pepper stock on Lewis

[mental sail]

pepper is an option from mixed seeds in the greenhouse and poppy seed from deconstructing that tub of flowers you bought for no reason

[median spruce]

Oh, whoa, there's some really cool new dialogue? If you talk to Demetrius after hatching a dinosaur egg, he comments on that and gives you a triple shot espresso!

[gray oriole]

1.6 has a lot of cool lines yeah

[chilly bloom]

Mhm

[woven tusk]

Try talking to Willy after each Legendary Fish you catch

Or to people who participated in festivals, right after said festival

Sometimes they have temporary dialogue right after a heart event (e.g. Leah still being mad that her ex crashed her picnic)

[gray oriole]

I wish there was a longer time limit for npc reactions

[buoyant tendon]

pam commented on me having built a fish pond !

i love the dynamic dialogue like that, its really refreshing and makes everyone feel more alive

[crimson olive]

Can I get the mummified bat by breaking rocks with bombs?

[buoyant tendon]

theres one where demetrius comments on you having incubated a dino egg and gives you a coffee out of how impressed he is

[crude talon]

I HAVE no baby or family mods ... elliott and i adopted a baby. is this an update where the baby is not white coz thats awesome

[drifting lava]

does using the basic rod increase jelly chance?

[polar moss]

No, it’s based on luck I believe

[smoky wagon]

I've been scouring the internet but I still can't find what the last thing is here. Can someone help me figure out what it is 😭

[daring sentinel]

hey so i dont want it to be fully explained but does something happen with the big tree next to marnie (yes or no)

[smoky wagon]

Yes

[daring sentinel]

thx

[smoky wagon]

Thank you, but I meant the bouquet shaped thing? at the very bottom

[robust spoke]

thats a modded thing im assuming

[smoky wagon]

Really? Ugh, tyvm

[violet creek]

the 'bouquet shaped thing' thing is from the ridgeside mod! you can get it from one of ridgeside's custom special orders

[smoky wagon]

Ohhh, I see

[carmine patio]

can u keep calico eggs overnight

[violet creek]

yeah, they only vanish at the end of the festival

[carmine patio]

swag ok goodnight

i got clint & robin on day 1

resources only xD

[violet creek]

i got pierre once and he was selling the eggs for gold lmao

[hushed hare]

not bad tbh, I know they're slow in producing them, but I still like 'em 🦖

[carmine patio]

For a single batch??? jesus... 1.6 spoiler

[violet creek]

i love my dinos

[gray oriole]

I wish dino mayo counted as an artifact

[hushed hare]

but that was 5 fruit

[mental sail]

ancient mayo probably counts as a bio weapon

[gray oriole]

Its not ancient tho

The mayo is new, using a freshly viable egg

[carmine patio]

5 base fruit iirc

payoff is +2k soooooooooooooooooooooo

[mental sail]

then it's not an artefact :P

[woven tusk]

Dehydrators are weaker than jars or kegs (1.5× value per item instead of 2.0× or 3.0× respectively) but they work blazing fast in comparison. They're a great stepping-stone until you can get enough jars and kegs

[vapid furnace]

I'd imagine it's also good for crops that give you multiple fruit per harvest, like blueberries

[woven tusk]

I have about three hundred starfruit growing on Ginger Island and... Nowhere near enough kegs. So I'm going to have to dehydrate them while the resins come in

[woven tusk]

Absolutely, yeah

[gray oriole]

Its a modified dino egg

[grave violet]

What’s the best setup for fishing extended family quest?

[vapid furnace]

Since it has a 5/1 ratio, compared to the 1/1 of most other processing machines

[hushed hare]

I was sleeping on mushroom logs, I put a few down next to a couple of mystic trees and now I got a nice surplurs of purple mushrooms

[gray oriole]

If freshly laid dinosaur eggs count as artifacts then clearly freshly laid dinosaur egg mayo should count

[woven tusk]

Depends what you're up to. Are you planning to catch Legend II over and over for money, or are you gonna get all the fish once each and then dip?

[grave violet]

Should I make bait out of the legendary fish?

[grave violet]

Money

[gray oriole]

Legendary fish bait is useless

[woven tusk]

Does basically nothing, unfortunately

[grave violet]

Hmm, so deluxe best bet then

[gray oriole]

Challenge bait

[hushed hare]

trap bobber and a quality bobber for money then

[woven tusk]

Use either Deluxe Bait to make it an easier catch or Magnets so you can get more treasure when you hook something else

[grave violet]

Should I use double spinner or double trapper?

[gray oriole]

If ur good

[woven tusk]

One trap bobber is plenty, you can use either Quality or Spinner for the other slot

[grave violet]

Alright thanks

[hushed hare]

challenge bait only if you have the fishing blessing IMO

[woven tusk]

I would not want to try perfecting the Legend (II) without that blessing

[hushed hare]

did wild bait work on legendaries in 1.5?

[grave violet]

Do the legendary fish despawn after 3 days

[woven tusk]

did wild bait work on legendaries in 1.5?
It didn't. Challenge bait strangely does tho

[hushed hare]

you keep the ones you caught

forever

[mental sail]

or until the next sashimi accident

[hushed hare]

oh no

[woven tusk]

Smoked Legend (II) is some insane money

[hushed hare]

I feel like I could farm the Angler II with challenge bait without the blessing, and maybe make more, just because of the bite rate and potential triple catches

just get me the double bobber that increases size of the bar

[rigid arch]

Only downside of doing the Legend II for money is the restriction of the Qi Quest time

[woven tusk]

Legend II is worth over five times as much. So you'd need to perfect catch Ms Angler every time and hook about twice as many to beat Legend II spamming

[hushed hare]

well damn! either Legend needs a nerf, or the rest need a buff, that's crazy!

[wooden oyster]

What are the new shippables on the shipping collection tab for 1.6?

[woven tusk]

That's why it's the Legend among the Legendaries, I suppose

[hushed hare]

dried fruit, the new syrup, smoked fish

moss

[violet creek]

and then the 4 new crops

[gray oriole]

raisins, dried mushrooms

[wooden oyster]

So 10 total? Wiki not updated and I'm trying to update my spreadsheet

[gray oriole]

i feel like you'd get more money just fishing lava eels instead of angler

[woven tusk]

Lava Eel is worth... 700. So only a little less than Ms Angler, except targeted bait works on it

[wooden oyster]

dried fruit
dried mushrooms
mystic syrup
smoked fish
moss
raisins
powdermelon
summer squash
carrot
broccoli

Sound right?

[grave violet]

I’m considering quality bobber instead of trap bobber… what do you guys think?

[woven tusk]

Depends. Do you have Fishing Mastery yet

Because then you can just equip both at once

[grave violet]

Yes

I was thinking spinner and quality

[woven tusk]

Hm... What were you trying to catch?

[grave violet]

Legend

I

I meant 2

[woven tusk]

If you're really confident or can stack a massive Fishing skill buff, it can work

[rigid arch]

I'm genuinely surprised Fishing Mastery doesn't allow fish ponding a legendary fish. Like- Legendary fish roe is in the game and accessible now

[grave violet]

Yeah I have fishing level 16

[hushed hare]

why would anyone turn off the clock?

[sullen veldt]

flowers can be placed in pots now?

[woven tusk]

Living Hat shenanigans

[hushed hare]

always could, but now bees make honey from them

[sullen veldt]

so can we place it inside a shed and it'll work?

[hushed hare]

bees don't produce indoors

[sullen veldt]

ahh

[woven tusk]

So now you can put it on an unplantable tile

[hushed hare]

new mechanic is for GI and fairy rose honey

[woven tusk]

Can't plant seeds into pots outside farm maps but that still leaves a lot of places you can put it on the north half of the GI farm

[hushed hare]

how do the seasons in the Desert work? I remember putting down bee houses there, could you do a seasonal honey farm?

well that answers that

[woven tusk]

Trees still grow, so I'm not sure winter exists there

[hushed hare]

yeah, but you said seeds can't be grown outside of farms, so no blue jazz/poppy/fairy rose in the desert, even in a pot

[hushed hare]

and yeah, bees don't produce wild honey in the desert in winter, I noticed that in 1.5

[sullen veldt]

it'll work in ginger island right thats considered a farm ?

[hushed hare]

it should

[scenic sphinx]

you cant plant in garden pots on the beach on the west island map

[celest wigeon]

can you really only get 5 of the mastery perks on 15?

[woven tusk]

...Huh?

There are five masteries and you can get them all

[celest wigeon]

or wait- do you get the 3 perks when you claim it?

[woven tusk]

Yes

[celest wigeon]

ohhhhh

that's much better

[woven tusk]

Have fun!

[celest wigeon]

ty ty

[raw elbow]

woahhh

i just got my first GR and its kinda sick

[woven tusk]

Ginger 🇷island?
Ginger 🇷ale?

Oh. Green Rain

I recommended playing through the day twice. Once to check on all the townies and see their reactions, and then reset to actually collect as much moss/fiber/wood as possible

Apparently this is the one day of the year you're allowed to cut down the trees in the town

[scenic sphinx]

I didn’t even think of this i might have to go though 3 time on my years 1 save with the amount of modded npc’s I have

[woven tusk]

In Vanilla, it's funny to contrast Demetrius with most of the town... and then with Leah

[scenic sphinx]

And Linus

[woven tusk]

I believe Linus knows what it is, so that's less entertaining

[hushed hare]

abandoning the farm for moss if it happens on an important day is kinda stressful, wish the green rain stuff lingered around the map, not immediately disappear

[woven tusk]

Gotta keep an eye on the forecast so you can at least see it coming a day in advance

[raw elbow]

yes! i went around chopping trees and large bushes cuz of the xp boost, and then went around town to see reactions! Demetrius is the funniest by far

[woven tusk]

Most of the town is hiding from the rain
Demetrius is out in whole-ass hazmat gear

And then Leah's just standing outside in the open wondering where all the plants came from

Leah would not last long in a horror movie

Robin is supposed to be home complaining about Demetrius doing that, but she wasn't there on my playthrough.

Because she was standing out in the rain upgrading my house at the time.

[raw elbow]

haha, and the ferns!

work

[woven tusk]

In my defense I hired her when the forecast said the next day was clear. The project takes three days, though, so... yeah the last day was green rain

[hushed hare]

a fern tree with a heavy tapper produces daily spring, summer, and fall, do what you want with that information

[woven tusk]

I might wanna try it so I can have Fiddlehead Risotto as a primary healing food. For the novelty, as it would still require mass-planting Garlic.

[hushed hare]

this spring I'm spamming garlic with agriculturist and 25% speed gro, it takes 2 days, no need for HSG!

[feral perch]

anyone else just got a 1.11 mb update?

yep, 1.6.7

[gray oriole]

1.6.6 hotfix 1 is probably more accurate

[coral tinsel]

does the golden clock stop empty tilled dirt from untilling itself?

[primal pulsar]

nah

I don't think it's like the greenhouse

[gray oriole]

stops new weeds, rocks, trees, and fence decay

[drifting lava]

whats the end game money maker? is it wine or dried fruit or what

cuz theres a max for cellar casks, and ive seen farms with the entire ginger island being starfruit

[gray oriole]

you don't need to age wine to see it?

casks r just a minor bonus thing

[drifting lava]

so no star wine is better than like gold star starfruit

[old raven]

i tend to aim for starfruit wine in the casks and then have a greenhouse full of ancient fruit wine which ill use as more of a passive income. idk what to do with the island yet though

[primal pulsar]

dehydrators filled with a lot of sf

[gray oriole]

you can check the wiki for this

https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Starfruit

[drifting lava]

ok ty all

[lapis lance]

omg have skull cavern elevator mod and for the desert festival i didnt use it (so i could get my eggs naturally) and accidentally used it when i was leaving and it reset my egg rating. psa for those using skull cavern, know where ur clicking cause it will reset ur egg rating

[delicate magnet]

Omg that’s good to know

[lapis lance]

yesss. i panicked cause i woke up like 3 bats and there were 4 dragons and i clicked like everywhere but what i needed to click

[delicate magnet]

Tbh I would’ve done the same thing

[lapis lance]

🥲 at least i learned

[amber walrus]

is the basilisk paw or frog egg trinket better

basilisk paw protects you from all debuffs and the frog like eats monsters or something

[mental sail]

frog eats your drops too, well the monsters never get a chance to drop anything, that's a big no for me

[amber walrus]

damn i didnt know that

thanks for letting me know

[tidal glen]

Do gem birds show up on green rain days?

[gray oriole]

it can't green rain

GI and mainland weather systems are separate

[chilly bloom]

Gi green rain would be insane

The weeds spreading before your eyes

[odd quiver]

what is unlocked after you complete community center

I just unlocked it

is this the right chat

[sacred river]

Basilisk paw
The frog egg is downright terrible as its cooldown between eating is horrendously slow

[amber walrus]

what is the best trinket?

[sacred river]

Personal preference

[amber walrus]

i only have a parrot egg, a basilisk paw, and a frog egg so far

oh ok

[sacred river]

All trinkets have their own use

[amber walrus]

ill probably keep the basilisk paw for a while because i hate the stupid debuffs

[sacred river]

The ice rod and the fairy box are the two most commonly used trinkets in combat tho

[crimson olive]

I just saw a big slime with a heart inside, I killed it and it dropped a heart that disappeared after I picked it up, was that a terraria easter egg?

[sacred river]

No that's a feature exclusive to Qi's Hungry Challenge quest

[crimson olive]

I got it on the normal mine

[idle onyx]

This is mad random but in your guys opinion is deluxe bait or wild bait better for raw profit

just wondering the margins; as I feel wild bait still better ngl

[magic stirrup]

challenge

[gray oriole]

?

[gray oriole]

well if the plan is to fish for money, assuming this is lategame

the options worth doing are

1. lava eels, in which case u use targetted bait
2. legend II, in which case u can use wild bait if you're confident in catching it or deluxe bait if u want safety

[idle onyx]

fair Thx so much glow

completely forgot legend II farming haven't done any Mr. Qi quests; just bought walnuts 😭

[little arrow]

is the only method of farming moss just waiting?

[gray oriole]

more trees

[mental sail]

plant more trees while you wait, but kinda yes

[gray oriole]

rain totems

if you have mossy seeds from green rain they make trees in a 5x5 area grow moss faster

also should double dip with tappers

[mental sail]

is that 5x5 tiles or trees?

[gray oriole]

5x5 tiles

so 1 mossy rain tree for 8 regular trees in a square around it

[little arrow]

oh damn
i thought it was just the one big day in summer and some random chances daily

[gray oriole]

nope

trees keep growing after stage 4

moss is stage 15, harvesting it drops it by stages equal to moss drops

so like 2 weeks or so for a freshly planted tree with fertilizer to start growing moss apparently

rain buffs the spawnrate, so rain totems r good

summer nerfs the spawnrate so summer is bad, and ginger island may or may not be bad

I'm not entirely sure but desert might be a good place since it doesn't have winter but I don't think it counts as summer either?

[tepid fiber]

how did people get thru journey of the prairie king before the continue progress option oh my goodness

[mental sail]

sounds like fertilizing all eligible trees might be a good idea, in case it helps with the secret second growth stages

[little arrow]

the WHAT

[mental sail]

right above, lucent's explanation

[gray oriole]

not sure

can you apply fertilizer to a grown tree?

[short adder]

No

[gray oriole]

also

[mental sail]

that's why I was thinking fertilize when you have a chance, cutting down an old tree sounds counterproductive

[gray oriole]

mossy rain trees speed up the rate mature trees grow towards moss stage on top of increasing moss spawn rate

so I guess they're both mature tree and moss fertilizer...?

[mental sail]

mossinizer

[robust spoke]

oh hey

we got a 1.6.7 now

[gray oriole]

like 2 bug fixes yes

[sacred river]

1.6.8 coming 🤩

[dusty linden]

just wanted to pop it in here just incase it was related to something new. I was using the wiki page to try to locate leo (hes moved to the mainland) but hes never around...? is he trapped somewhere because i cannot find him for the life of me, on any day

[gray oriole]

patch notes:

• fixed a bug introduced from an attempted bugfix in 1.6.7

[gray oriole]

have you checked his house

[dusty linden]

yes

[gray oriole]

the library?

actually

[dusty linden]

yea ):

[gray oriole]

probably just install the npc map tracker mod

[woven tusk]

Finally managed a halfway decent SC delve. 202 iridium collected. B101F reached the "honorable" way for Qi's quest.
Strong weapons really do matter more than one might expect, as quickly dispatching serpents and mummies supplied me with the essences to keep throwing Mega Bombs all over the place.

With the Obsidian Edge and the Slammer, I couldn't get past the 50s. This run, I had the Galaxy Sword and the Dwarvish Hammer.

[magic pawn]

Why do we need two weapons?

[woven tusk]

Hammer special for cornered land enemies. Sword slashes when the hammer special is cooling down, or for aerial enemies.

[magic pawn]

Ohh nice

[woven tusk]

Hammer special can cram many hits in a short time (mash the normal attack button during the special attack animation to do it)

That video demonstrates it

[magic pawn]

Yeah got it

[gray oriole]

Huh looks like i was right

[woven tusk]

Wait what

[sacred river]

What

[woven tusk]

Oh, is Leo vanishing for everyone now

[gray oriole]

1.6.6 added a bug that crashes the game if an npc reaches the changing room in.. GI i think?

Basically turn off the island resort or ull crash in 1.6.6

[woven tusk]

Yike.
Uh, can the resort be toggled off on the same day I repair it? Because that's my next planned walnut purchase

[gray oriole]

It’ll be fixed soon

Ish

[woven tusk]

[gentle otter]

if i use two trap bobbers will it basially make it impossible for fish ot escape me

[gray oriole]

Half speed for 2

33% for one for reference

Whether or not its enough would depend on u i guess

[woven tusk]

If you're really struggling, maybe it's worth it

Gotta pick my first mastery.
Today will be Winter Star. I don't expect to have a lot of regrowing crops ready before my next mastery, so Farming can wait. Hm...

[primal pulsar]

GET THE FARMING MASTERY

THAT IRIDIUM SCYTHE IS ALL THAT I WANT IN 1.6

[woven tusk]

Then you get the farming mastery. I don't benefit from it yet.

[primal pulsar]

alright goodluck

[woven tusk]

I also need to hand-harvest GI anyway to get walnuts

[primal pulsar]

Just harvest sf/af in gi and you'll probably be good

[mental sail]

no, you get walnuts with scythe too

[woven tusk]

Oh, the wiki might've been outdated when I checked (it said it had to be non-regrowing, non-scythe-harvested crops)

Though non-regrowing still means I don't get a lot out of the scythe yet

[mental sail]

scythe-requiring, no walnuts from wheat, thats different from what you do

[woven tusk]

Hand-harvesting pauses time during its animation, scything does not. And I need to walk all over the field to replant anyway

It will be more helpful once my AFs have propagated across GI more

Mining to help me delve SC better, Combat to get started on trinkets, fishing to significsntly boost my income from Lava Eeling... Hm.

[desert rampart]

so like

i like the fae folk in media

their lore and the fairies are cute and stuff

so like i always got the fairy trinket on for me

i like to imagine we just pals hanging out

[molten turret]

lmao darkest dungeon trinkets in stardew valley

wouldnt that be funny

[desert rampart]

whats that

oh

[vapid furnace]

If there is a mod that added more Terraria goodies, I want a wisp or fairy bell as a glow ring of sorts if that makes sense

Like you equip the accessory, it does the same glowing effect that a glow ring does, and it summons the light pet as well like the frog, fairy, and parrot. And it should still work when combined with other rings

[buoyant tendon]

d'ya think 2 jade and a ruby is good for just a standard galaxy sword with desperado (tryna not use hammers so not choosin uh half special cooldowns)

wait i mean aqwuamarine

[crimson olive]

What are the itens on the shipment tab after moss and before dried mushrooms

[buoyant tendon]

mystic tree syrup and raisins

[hidden ore]

we need a pinned message for that until the wiki updates (apparently it's blocked on getting simultaneous translations in all the existing wiki languages for the new entries)

[mental sail]

it's not advertised as such, but the fairy trinket works as a light pet already, annoyingly lighting up some uninteresting rocks included

[crimson olive]

What ring combination do you guys use?

[hidden ore]

I always have idirium + slime charmer for one, and idirium + burglar or iridium + lucky for the other, depending on the circumstances, but people have a lot of different favorite combos. napalm or hot java are ones I see mentioned frequently

[tidal axle]

why not triple aqua? /gen

[valid tapir]

stardew update 1.6.7?

[sonic skiff]

it's 1.6.8 now

1.6.7 came out 3h ago, and 1.6.8 less than an hour ago (there was a severe crash)

[valid tapir]

where i can see changelog

[sonic skiff]

if it doesn't show up on the library page, click on the community page for stardew

the top post should be the patch notes

[valid tapir]

okay

[ornate bay]

when was ||this road|| added to the opening screen?

i only noticed it after the mini patch to fix the resort crash today

[hidden ore]

New items in the collections tab for shipping: smoked fish, moss, mystic syrup, raisins, dried fruit, dried mushrooms, carrot, summer squash, broccoli, powdermelon

[gentle otter]

trap bobber i love u so miuhc. catching the legendary fish was so unthinkable before i can't believe tihs

[dire yoke]

Is it worth activating the shrine to remove the "magi-seal"?

[woven tusk]

Which shrine where

Sounds like you're talking about toggling Dangerous Mode on?

[mellow atlas]

hi! i have a question,, in the new update u can now use flowers in the garden pot for the bee house,, does that mean u can now put them in sheds or no still?

[woven tusk]

Bees don't work in sheds to begin with

Like, you can put them in but they will produce nothing

[mellow atlas]

i do know that,, thats why i asked "or no still,," but thank u anyways!!

appreciate it

[woven tusk]

This mostly means you can do more with the Ginger Island farm map or mainland farm maps with lots of non-plantable tiles

(Can't plant seeds into garden pots outside of farm maps)

[mellow atlas]

oh!! didnt know that,, thanks again

[broken portal]

yeah you dont have to compromise your bee house placements on the left side of the island farm to only where the tillable tiles are

[dire yoke]

Wiki says can plant trees outside farm, but I haven't been able to. Idk.

[woven tusk]

Need to do it in tillable soil

[hidden ore]

that's a huge win for sure; I've been staring at a screenshot trying to sort out how I want to redo that, since I play with the constraint of "no blocking resource spawns" (so no displacement of coconut trees or possible ginger plants is allowed)

[woven tusk]

Can fruit trees be planted in those two tiles where golden walnuts were buried?

[dire yoke]

I mean, yea. Mostly trying to replant cindersap after I clear cut lol.

[hidden ore]

good question. I planted my fruit trees along the west bank of the river, where nothing ever spawns so it wasn't an issue

[woven tusk]

Those trees respawn on their own as partially-grown saplings at a medium-low chance each day

[hidden ore]

you don't need to replant; just wait 1-2 days, then you'll see all the little tree saplings, go down there with tree fertilizer to grow them up fast

[dire yoke]

But you can't plant extra tree outside farm?

[woven tusk]

You can, but only in tillable soil.

[hidden ore]

you can but the soil has to be tillable soil. so e.g. along the edges of the map at the railroad you can line that with trees, because it's tillable

[woven tusk]

The farm doesn't care about tillable soil for trees. The rest of the world does

[hidden ore]

(and a lot of the interior part too, just look out for npcs walking through and destroying some)

[woven tusk]

Used to be that you literally had to till the soil first to plant the tree seed there
