[sacred river]

Pretty decent at best
Mostly because they're not the most dangerous enemy

[chilly bloom]

They’re slow and very easy to avoid regularly

As well as being predictable and taking a load of knockback

[acoustic cedar]

Anyone knows how to remove the haunted mannequin that is being annoying in my house?

[sacred river]

Pickaxe

Or bomb

[acoustic cedar]

pickaxe doesn't work. I'll try a bomb.

[misty wedge]

what does it do?

i have one but havent placed it yet

[acoustic cedar]

It moves on its own, takes your clothes and hauntes you at night. Thought it would be fun but he blocks stuff and you can not get rid of it easily.

[thorn lance]

Guys, genuinely question here. We can’t grow big crops in greenhouse? it’s been there almost 2 seasons lol..

[cunning cove]

You can’t

[thorn lance]

good to know, thank you

[rigid breach]

holy shit

only now i find out how to see qi 💀

i keep hearing about mr. qi and i had to look up the wiki to know how to find him 💀

lmao

i now know though

[low juniper]

is talking about stuff in the 1.6.9 beta patch notes alright in here or is that advanced spoilers?

[rigid breach]

this channel is free real estate with spoilers afaik

like you can talk anything without worrying about spoilering

[low juniper]

oh coolio, cause im a bit confused on what this means

like what does unlimited output mean in the context of fishponds

[cunning cove]

I’m assuming it apply the double product infinitely

[low juniper]

how so?

[cunning cove]

So like after it double the product it continues to apply the bonus to the doubled product

This is speculation I do not know code

[low juniper]

ohhh

so like it would double 1 roe to 2 roe and then 2 roe to 4 and keep doubling indefinetly i assume

either that or if you left the roe in the pond without picking it up it would double that roe indefinetly until you picked it up

[low juniper]

that would definetly get messy if you left a prismatic shard from a rainbow trout pond to double indefinetly lmao

[tough remnant]

https://youtu.be/OFi2gmBdyCI

Basically, if a fish pond produces nothing, but has leftover produce from the previous day... the golden cracker doubles whatever was left in there

[low juniper]

oh lmao yeah i can see why thats getting patched out

[icy echo]

We love you Concerned Ape I'm so damn excited for November 4th

[maiden fiber]

[olive surge]

finally a date for mobile and console?

[astral vine]

Yes~ nov 4! Is the release date of 1.6 for mobile and console~

[tough remnant]

Easiest? Absolutely.

The other fast strategy is basically deep dives in Skull Cavern

Which is much more skill dependent

Yes

Every iridium node, mystic stone, or calico egg node is 50xp

Good SC runs at a high level usually start around floor 900 or so

You basically bring an entire stack of staircases with you, obtained from jade crystalarium spam + the desert trader

Spam them all to get deep, and then start mega bomb spamming

Because iridium nodes are much more common the deeper you get

Nah, it can go really fast, since SC dives give you all the materials needed to make more crystalariums, so you can go deeper next week, to make more crystalariums, to go deeper next week, etc.

[astral vine]

Possible

[tough remnant]

Iridium Bats drop them, but those do often end up as the limit

But even so, you can get like, 50+ battery packs per storm with enough lightning rods

Idea generally if you're doing this is to start building up jade early on using the crystalarium from the vault

Yeah, I just use them as fencing TBH

[astral vine]

They are the best fence, they don't deteriorate.

[tough remnant]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1218308416825462974/1222626050442268702/Cassandra_10-3-2023_54019804.png

That was my 1.5 farm

Made the lightning rods work

[astral vine]

Hardwood fences deteriorate after 5 years

Well unless you have the golden clock, you wont need to worry about decaying fences and debris.

[maiden fiber]

i like it!

[tough remnant]

Was sad to let it go, but I wanted to aim for an even more endgame completionist farm than that one in 1.6

Which is going quite slowly

[blazing echo]

farms like this make my brain happy, hell yeah aligned stuff

[tough remnant]

I probably need to rework my plan for my 1.6 farm given the upcoming 1.6.9 changes (||legendary fish ponds||)

[blazing echo]

:0

those are gonna be epic

i can't wait for 1.6.9

[tough remnant]

I need to figure out a good way to display them, and my current plan doesn't have any spaces for that

[blazing echo]

i see :0 what farm did you pick?

[tough remnant]

This is the long term plan

[blazing echo]

ooo beach farm 👀 it's looking very optimized

[tough remnant]

Beach is mandatory for completionism sadly

Only farm that has an exclusive item

[astral vine]

i have no plans on marrying any bachelors and bachellorettes.

[olive surge]

funny how you get mystery boxes by opening mystery boxes. mystery boxception

[blazing echo]

tbh hardwood fences are an easy hell yeah for me, ill either finish the playthrough or have the golden clock by five years

[tough remnant]

I'm aiming for longterm goals which might take decades of in-game time

... in large part because of the desert festival

[blazing echo]

ahh yep i get that one

[tough remnant]

Lots of unique items there

[blazing echo]

for sure :,)

[tough remnant]

Although actually collecting everything unique variation of every item is functionally impossible now

Because of the damn cactis

[blazing echo]

how many possible combinations are there again?

[tough remnant]

9216

[blazing echo]

oof even if every desert fest you'd join with 8 ppl that would still take ungoldly amounts of time 😭

[tough remnant]

Plus you can get duplicates

[blazing echo]

ye that too

[rigid breach]

WTF LMAO

I got the mysterious qi quest

coincidentally

[blazing echo]

:0

[rigid breach]

I have a rainbow shell in my chest

[blazing echo]

hell yeahh

[rigid breach]

then just HARVESTED MY BEETS

[tough remnant]

Assuming every cactus variation is equally likely... on average you'd need to collect 89.5k in order to get them all

[blazing echo]

hell yeahhh

[rigid breach]

i now need to do the last quest holy shit

[blazing echo]

disgusting amount of numbers

[rigid breach]

i didnt expect that coincidence happening LMAO

[astral vine]

alright!

[tough remnant]

90 millennia of attending the desert festival in order to collect every cactus variation

Upside, you can also work on expanding the possessed doll farm while you're doing this!

[sonic skiff]

speaking of every variation i'm gonna have to update my non-furniture catalogue items spreadsheet at Some Point

[tough remnant]

You can dove ~3 children per year if you do it optimally

So you'll probably have around 270k doved children by the time you finish the collection

Which in turn means you could get about 45 million gold every time you clear out the Witch Hut

With level 4 parrot egg

[gleaming marten]

make your kids work for you, I guess XD

[trim plinth]

For some reason on 15th of fall I cannot offer a gift to Sandy. The gift option does not appear, I always talk with her.

[rigid breach]

FINALLY HARVESTED SWEET GEM BERRY

LETSGOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[steel wyvern]

Which one? The supply crate?

[warped panther]

all items run?

[tough remnant]

'Boat', it's a fishing easter egg

https://stardewvalleywiki.com/'Boat'

[tough remnant]

That's part of it. Goal is to basically be as endgame as possible

[warped panther]

ah

[tough remnant]

Actually have a few difficult decisions I have to make as part of it

I want every fish caught at maximum size

Except there's an issue with that, because 1.6 actually reduced the maximum possible size of the Angler

Due to the changes in the terrain there

So in order to get max length, I need to catch the Angler in 1.5

But if I catch it in 1.5, I can't get the extra copies of it from Challenge Bait

[gleaming marten]

it seems to me, in my opinion, that catching it in 1.6 would be the better option, then. 1.6 may have reduced the Angler's size, but you are still catching it at the maximum size possible for the version of the game that you're playing, and then you still get to use challenge bait

[tough remnant]

Currently I'm leaning towards "catch in 1.5, then use farmhands to catch extra copies"

[gleaming marten]

that would also work as a workaround, yeah

[tough remnant]

Actually, I should test whether challenge bait counts as multiple fish for the "Fish caught" statistic

[stoic acorn]

sheesh... how am I supposed to get this butterfly? I can't jump that high!

[unborn quartz]

I guess you can't catch it? I don't think it moves, so...

[stoic acorn]

it flutters a bit from side to side, but that's about it

doesn't even go left far enough to get it from the ledge Linus's tent is on

[unborn quartz]

That's kinda sad :/

[wintry maple]

you just click on it.

you don't have to like catch it. just click on it

[stoic acorn]

I'm too far away for clicks to grab hold

[wintry maple]

what

no you litterly just click on it

like with your cursor

[stoic acorn]

oh! I accidentally stepped into the mines, and when I stepped out it had moved to by Linus's tent!!

and I didn't need to click on it, proximity is what triggers it

aaaaaaaaaand I forgot that I just spent 1 mil yesterday so I only got pittance 🙄

[woven tusk]

That doesn't matter

It's a percentage of lifetime earnings, not cash on hand

It's a pittance anyway because the percentage is that small

[stoic acorn]

oooh so I misremembered... good

well, it was still like 15k so now I feel less broke than I did when the day started 😅

[tough remnant]

It's a pittance anyway because it's capped at 50k if you have >10M lifetime earnings

[crude talon]

whats all your fav crops for summer ❤️ can be vaniella or modded ❤️

[tough remnant]

Starfruit >>>>>>> everything else

[crude talon]

yes i always grow starfruit,melons, watermelons, and blue berries

[surreal cliff]

[[Hops]]

[formal gorge]

https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Hops

[fierce lynx]

Hops are crazy goood the only debuff is that it’s a trellis

[tough remnant]

Hops is great income per tile per day, but it's awful income per IRL time

[surreal cliff]

not for junimos

[tough remnant]

I'm not spending hours every day harvesting and loading my kegs

[fierce lynx]

I’ve been trying to find a mod that can do trellis crops that works with Better Junimos (better Junimos forestry used to work but 1.6 broke it)

[fierce lynx]

Fair, but the money

[tough remnant]

I can more than make up the difference by using all that extra time in SC

[surreal cliff]

i have total earnings 675.000g+ in year 3, i only used hops

[tough remnant]

Like, over the course of a season, you'd probably spend like... maybe 3 in-game days just processing all the hops

[fierce lynx]

To be fair, most of the reason I like hops is cause I make alcohol as a hobby in real life lmao

Specifically beer, of course, considering the hops

[tough remnant]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/137345719668310016/1133729999950725200/Screenshot_from_2022-02-25_23-48-37.png

That was end of year 2

[surreal cliff]

impressive

how did you do that without hops?

[tough remnant]

Starfruit plantations on GI

Basically entirely that

[fierce lynx]

Good stuff! I’m year 4 on my first ever world and I just got perfection so that’s pretty cool!

[tough remnant]

I was also running in a custom made tiny farm that I designed specifically to be awful

About 1/4 as much space as riverland farm, and it's all sandy soil so no sprinklers

[fierce lynx]

I think I’m gonna go with a trellis only challenge farm cause that seems interesting

[surreal cliff]

i wasn't using anything except hops, that should be the only reason i dont have more earnings

i mean

wasn't doing anything, i focused on hops only and never left the farm

only to buy hops

[trim plinth]

Do you have a lot of kegs ?

Hops are supposed to give a lot of money

[surreal cliff]

around 22 at the moment

[trim plinth]

22 in y3 is not a lot. I have that y1

[surreal cliff]

i was lazy

[tough remnant]

This is what my GI looked like:

[surreal cliff]

and 600.000+ in start of year 3 is pretty good for me

[fierce lynx]

Mine is just as much ancient fruit as I could pack in on the main farm bit and that’s it lol

I’m a little lazy

And the replant isn’t fun so I went with ancient fruit

[woven tusk]

Trellises aren't the main problem with hops anymore; it's that the best places to grow hops (greenhouse, GI, indoors) are places we can't deploy Junimos to harvest them for us

[fierce lynx]

Ah yeah that makes more sense

[hazy hamlet]

does a barn need 1 or 2 heaters?

[tough remnant]

I was doing a 2 year perfection challenge, so I couldn't really afford the setup time it takes to propogate large quantities of ancient fruit

1

[radiant halo]

Just one

[surreal cliff]

that how my 2nd farm on 2nd ever save looks like (joja)

[radiant halo]

One heater per coop/barn

[trim plinth]

Junimos needs to step up their game. Iridium scythe makes them look weak with narrow shoulders.

[fierce lynx]

I’m gonna do the glitch speedrun tactic for getting the joja achievement cause it’s just boring making mega amounts of money instead of having goals to look out for

[tough remnant]

This is what my current GI looks like lol

Living Hat grind

[fierce lynx]

Based (good luck my friend)

[trim plinth]

Actually the cc forces you to play a certain way while Joja frees you from going for barn/coop/pig/goat/cow/chicken. You can do whatever you want. The cc imprisons you.

[surreal cliff]

that's what i am about to do as well

i need living hat

im not going to do anything with 2nd farm before i get it

[fierce lynx]

Yeah but my dumbass likes having certain items to get and the feeling of progression through building the cc back up again, instead of “ooo copious amounts of wine by winter year 1, I can’t wait to instantly buy all of the big main quest”

[tough remnant]

Glorious capitalism where I discard all notions of diversifying my revenue streams and instead just produce millions of a single, high value good to take advantage of the fact that the country apparently has fixed purchasing prices for goods

[woven tusk]

Do they even have shoulders

[surreal cliff]

pretty much the only reason i always do joja is to piss off peehair

[tough remnant]

Eh, Morris is considerably more insufferable

Actual cartoon villain personality

[surreal cliff]

i still like him

saying that again, i loved him even more when cutscene where he takes away all pierre's customers on his damn birthday

[trim plinth]

I understand you. I used to think the same way. I was surprised by how much fun I had during my joja run, so now I am not as criticizing towards Joja.

[surreal cliff]

good

[surreal cliff]

but he is never mean towards farmer, even if you fix cc

[fierce lynx]

Honestly, I can’t judge, the last time I tried joja I only made it half way through but maybe I should give it another shot honestly.

[trim plinth]

I wonder how fun that would be if there was some kind of market fluctuation. Prices variations from one year/season/week to the other could be interesting.

[woven tusk]

People were so mad about the Y2 wood/stone price hike

[trim plinth]

I dont know what they need, but now they take space for a very limited advantage. I have not built them since 1.5

[woven tusk]

The advantage now is the raisin multiharvest bonus

[trim plinth]

I never bought wood/stone before. This is so strong. Being able to buy 1k wood in a glimpse of an eye instead of slowly roaming through the valley while planting tree seeds for the next harvest is so much time saving. I feel Robin should have a limited amount of them.

[woven tusk]

It is their new, ahem, raisin d'être

[tough remnant]

And then we received glorious deconstructor strats to get stone instead lol

[leaden stratus]

my void salmons going crazy

[rigid breach]

i got to ginger island and i practically turned my farm space into a farming area becauee it's winter at the valley 🤣

like at least 80% of it

LMAO

[woven tusk]

You used your farm as a farm

[rigid breach]

the floor is made out of floor

is what i'm saying about the ginger island farm

[woven tusk]

"Follow me for more farming tips"

[rigid breach]

idk what to plant though

😭

[woven tusk]

Starfruit's available year round, I suppose

[rigid breach]

i planted all the mixed seeds for now

[solemn locust]

Plant crops that produce more than once!!

[woven tusk]

Could get blueberry seeds at the night market for that, until you have enough Ancient to propagate

[rigid breach]

If it's money wise I have 78 ancient fruit seeds in the greenhouse

Since I've been using my first batch of ancient fruits to make more ancient fruits

(Seedmaker)

[woven tusk]

That's how it's done

[leaden stratus]

what's the command for the junimo hut + sprinklers setup?

[rigid breach]

After I do the quest with the frog inside that cave, then I'll plant alot of ancient fruit

[woven tusk]

Hm, is there one?

!junimo

[rigid breach]

i forgor that thing

[unkempt dome]

To use this command, type !junimo.

[rigid breach]

was it a frog

[woven tusk]

Oh.

[regal ivy]

!junimohut

[unkempt dome]

To use this command, type !junimohut.

[woven tusk]

That wasn't it.

[leaden stratus]

thanks!

[woven tusk]

The layout is uneven so you're gonna have to figure out the sprinkler situation yourself, I suppose

[rigid breach]

i'm focusing on building sheds on the main farm first

[leaden stratus]

it's time to open ms paint

[rigid breach]

i've used the cabins for so long the space is too tiny for my growing ancient fruit empire

[distant seal]

Is it possible to get every achievement in Stardew besides joja one

I already got that one

[woven tusk]

Yes

[distant seal]

But I am trying to get every achievement in my current game

[woven tusk]

I don't believe any other achievements are mutually exclusive

[surreal cliff]

living hat feels so rare that i start to believe it is a large lie

[tough remnant]

1/100,000 drop chance

[surreal cliff]

i cannot get it even from wilderness golems using 2 burglar rings

[distant seal]

Also is it just me or it takes longer to fully finish museum

[leaden stratus]

burglar doesn't stack

[tough remnant]

Burglar rings don't stack, and that's still 1/10,000 drop chance

[surreal cliff]

dammit

[tough remnant]

Wilderness golem is by far the worse way to try get it

You can break 10 weeds far faster than you can find and kill a wilderness golem

[surreal cliff]

i remember how i used to have a gulag with 20+ wilderness golems, i got nothing

guess that statue doesn't worth it

but at least it is a small chance

[woven tusk]

v1.6 added ways to finish it very quickly, that did not exist in v1.5

[distant seal]

Really?

Like what

Treasure totems?

[tough remnant]

Yeah

[distant seal]

Also I need dragon tooth and like i never get any from lava lurks

Idk why, probably RNG

[woven tusk]

Stingray fishpond may help

[distant seal]

I just want to make ginger island warp totems

[woven tusk]

Ew. Make one for the crafting collection and then save teeth for the obelisk

[distant seal]

True yeah

[woven tusk]

Dragon Teeth are now way more valuable than they were in v1.5, due to innate enchants

[distant seal]

Isn't that only for non galaxy weapons

So maybe if I was a slingshot player, I would want it

[leaden stratus]

iridium needle is a non galaxy weapon

[woven tusk]

The Iridium Needle is way better than the galaxy/infinity dagger with the right innate

[distant seal]

Stacks with scout and acrobat?

[woven tusk]

Why wouldn't it? It doesn't affect the same thing

[surreal cliff]

it is good for iridium needle

irdium needle is surprisingly great for a dagger

[woven tusk]

The innate in question here is the crit multiplier one

[surreal cliff]

even better than infinity dagger, not gonna lie

[woven tusk]

Needle can get very high crit rates, so the critpower innate instakills things quite often. Far fewer average stabs to take an enemy down

[surreal cliff]

would be the best weapon of all if it could hit in more directions

[woven tusk]

Anything that powerful kinda needs limitations

[surreal cliff]

true

[tough remnant]

Dragontooth weapons were already comparable to infinity weapons anyway, and they can get innate enchantments

... if you order things right, anyway

[distant seal]

Wow so like they are better than infinity?

I thought infinity was the strongest

[woven tusk]

Galaxy has 80 avg dmg
Dwarf is equivalent, D.Tooth is stronger with 90 avg dmg
Infinity is 110 avg dmg
The question is whether an innate would be stronger than ~20% more damage. It might...

It'd be hard to justify for a hammer in particular, though

[tough remnant]

The crit power quite significant IIRC

[leaden stratus]

Pierre moment

[tough remnant]

Even before 1.6, some of really high end combat minmaxers said the Dragontooth Club was the actual best weapon in the game, because of its high base damage and crit build synergy

[distant seal]

So maybe hunt for that when I go mining?

[woven tusk]

Can't really "hunt" for Dragontooth

It's from treasure chests

[distant seal]

Do I need good luck?

[tough remnant]

Volcano purple chests specifically

[distant seal]

To get it

[woven tusk]

The weapons, that is

[tough remnant]

Luck helps, yeah

[distant seal]

Also yeah I need to get dragon tooth for obelisj

[tough remnant]

In that luck makes volcano chests more likely to be purple

[distant seal]

I been forced to spend money when going to ginger island

Tbf 1k isn't a lot

[maiden fiber]

That’s just daily luck right

[tough remnant]

No actually

[woven tusk]

The benefit from Infinity weapons is that you can get Galaxy Souls anywhere and no RNG is required to get the first prismatic for them (there's a guaranteed one at the volcano caldera)

[tough remnant]

Buff luck matters too

[distant seal]

Oh yeah I need galaxy souls too

[tough remnant]

Which is a little cursed

It's determined by your luck when you first enter the new floor

[woven tusk]

Get the Rumpled Fruit Skin at the desert fest and then immediately go to the opposite end of the world map

[tough remnant]

IIRC the actual layouts are fixed based on seed and day, it's just whether chests are purple or not that checks your luck

1.6 makes spending MRC on Volcano runs less questionable, which is nice for item hunting

Since you're no longer limited to 1 per week

...or trying to grind Haunted Skulls for them

I always bring some seasoned ginger ale with me though to chug before entering floor 9

[distant seal]

Oh is sonar bobber useful?

I thought it would be but it seems useless before you catch the fish

[tough remnant]

It's really niche

Good for trying to get specific fish out of season using magic bait

[woven tusk]

Can save real-world time by seeing the fish in the minigame and canceling if you don't want it

[leaden stratus]

I did a single quarry level

why now

2 skeletal hands

[tough remnant]

But honestly, 95% of the time, a skilled fisher can tell what the fish is anyway just from how it moves

And if you're not a skilled fisher, you probably want trap bobber more than sonar

[tough remnant]

Can save you fishing buff food too, since buff timers don't freeze during the fishing minigame

[woven tusk]

It's almost October. Spooky Scary Skeleton Season

[leaden stratus]

I got advanced rod os I got both initially

[distant seal]

true

ALso squidfest was easy

already finished at noon ingame

[woven tusk]

Your inventory rn

[distant seal]

Thank lord for squid bait

[woven tusk]

There are two days with different prizes

[distant seal]

Yeah I am going to do more on the next day

[woven tusk]

Go get 'em

[distant seal]

I know second day you need to catch 2 more squid for iridium prizes

[leaden stratus]

I sure do know a thing or two about skeletron

I'm getting infernum ptsd when I see him

[keen wren]

does this boulder ever get removed in vanilla or just some mods?

[regal ivy]

You can only get there when you reach perfection (in vanilla)

[keen wren]

oh ok

never done perfection beofre since i always had other mods making it annoying

[tough remnant]

One of these days I'm going to do max waivers and it's going to be... fun

[woven tusk]

You can try using exploits/cheats to get there before perfection
||Mr. Qi will get there ahead of you, because of course he did, and then he beats your ass||

I am not making that up

[tough remnant]

He can also take all your money if you're broke

[keen wren]

and it seems in SVE moss is more abundant than vanilla since i;ver only gotten one moss covered tree so far

[keen wren]

got a vid u can dm of this? lol

need to see that cutscene

[tough remnant]

Normally getting knocked out is capped at 10% of wealth or 1k, whichever is smaller

[olive surge]

this guy is straight up Sans from Undertale

[tough remnant]

But Mr Qi doesn't have the 10% of wealth check

So if you have less than 1k, he will actually knock you down to 0g

... or at least that was the case at 1.6 launch

Dunno if that's been patched since

[woven tusk]

Little bit, but with the exact opposite work ethic

[woven tusk]

||https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=se_q0rTuOPE||

lol thx, it was great

[hushed glade]

You need 4 bones though

[woven tusk]

My headcanon is that ||he hecking haymakers the farmer in a straight shot into the clinic bed. Straight down the mountain, through Harvey's roof and second floor||

[steel wyvern]

Do powdermelons count for Qi's Prismatic Grange as blue? I'm not sure the list is complete.

[leaden stratus]

I think it should

[paper tree]

Trap bobber is the only bobber ever needed

[distant seal]

I got 2 banana saplings, let's go!

[tough remnant]

I go for cork bobbers usually personally - best for perfect catches, which are especially good since the addition of challenge bait.

[distant seal]

Is powdermelon worth kegging? Or is it worth preserving

or dehydrating?

[hazy hamlet]

is this good?

[tough remnant]

It's not really worth growing honestly. Of those, strongest option is preserve jars though.

[distant seal]

Yeah I will probably skip powdermelon next year

or just stop growing it, it doesn't even have any recipes

[tough remnant]

Actually, misremembered

Wine is still slightly better than jelly lol

It's just really close

[distant seal]

What about dehydrators?

[distant seal]

slightly better? Like is it better for the time it takes?

[hazy hamlet]

tbh its not worth anything it has no recipes the only reason u wanna grow it is really to get as much as xp as u can through winter to reach lvl 10 farming as fast as possible even in winter thats pretty much it, OTHER THAN THAT powdermelon is worth nothing unless u just started but if ur in second or third winter just stop growing it cause bad xp bad money and no recipes

[tough remnant]

Dehydrators are strictly worse than preserves jars

[distant seal]

Because I know kegs take longer than preserves to churn

[tough remnant]

Only matters if you produce fruit faster than you can process it

And since crop space is a lot more limited than space for kegs, that's almost never the case

[hazy hamlet]

fruits kegs vegs perserves and shrooms dehydrating powder melon just throw it in the bin to sell not worth waiting for it

[distant seal]

Also should I plant my banana sapling on ginger island?

or in my farm

[tough remnant]

Greenhouse in the tiled perimeter around the crop area

Or on GI

Definitely not on the main farm

[leaden stratus]

the reson I don't use iridium scythe most of the time

collected all crops and replanted them in 3 in game hours

[hazy hamlet]

why dont u use iridum scythe would it be faster

[tough remnant]

Scythe the whole field then replant on second loop is a lot faster

Because the harvest animation is slow as hell

[hazy hamlet]

yeah

[leaden stratus]

I'm talking in game hours

[tough remnant]

Yes

[leaden stratus]

I don't care about real life time

[tough remnant]

[leaden stratus]

it is

for a few frames but it is

[tough remnant]

Huh, surprised I never noticed that

[regal ivy]

Omfg I'm so excited to harvest from right to left as quick as it is from left to right

[distant seal]

I didn't know i can plant there

[leaden stratus]

you can see clock changing colors when harvesting crops

[hazy hamlet]

guys i got shoes called cinderclown shoes and HELL ITS ANNOYING it keeps ringing bells like its christmas ;-; does anyone know how to mute that sound?

[tough remnant]

You can transfer their stats to different shoes

[regal ivy]

Maybe you could tailor them? So you have the stats but a different look?

[leaden stratus]

you can thank 1.6 for that change

[tough remnant]

Or you can turn off footstep noises

In the settings

[hazy hamlet]

how do i tailor them?

like keep stats but diff boots

[regal ivy]

The sewing machine

Tbh never used it so not quite sure how to use it, but I know it's a thing

[hazy hamlet]

hmmm okay then thanks

[unborn quartz]

You can combine two shoes in the sewing machine, to chose the appearance of one with the stats of another
https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Footwear

[distant seal]

Okay so I can plant trees on the border area around crop area?

[cyan violet]

Yes

[distant seal]

ignore sprinklers, I am planning on fixing it once I have enough seeds to cover my junimo hut fields

[hazy hamlet]

whats this?

its asking for a gem

is prismatic gems the best to use ?

[cyan violet]

It adds enhancements to weapons depending on the gem

[unborn quartz]

Depends what you want to do, look up forging on the wiki

[cyan violet]

Different gems give different bonuses

[unborn quartz]

And prismatic gives special enchantement

[spring fern]

use anything

[tough remnant]

Tiles, not wood panels

(Using deluxe retaining soil for the AF so it doesn't need sprinklers)

can i steal that layout? thanks

[distant seal]

Oooh so I can plant on tiles

nice

Is it worth going to the night market after Y1?

I got the pearl, got the fish I wanted (minus the squid)

I will mainly be ancient fruiting it up

[cyan violet]

I go there to buy seeds for the upcoming year.

[distant seal]

for Y3

True yeah, it does save time

[cyan violet]

Also, there's unique paintings each year to buy.

[tough remnant]

I mean, you need the midnight squid for master angler anyway. Also it's better than regular squid for fish ponds if you want a source of squid ink

[distant seal]

Oh I have the midnight one

I should've said the octopu

octopus*

not the midnight squid

[tough remnant]

There's a lot of "rare" decorative items available at the night market - stuff you can't get most of the year

Including the Lupini paintings, the cone hat, the iridium fireplace, etc.

Plus it has 3 bonus days of Travelling Merchant

In case you're on the lookout for something there

[distant seal]

Yeah. Also I am suffering a wood shortage

I think I deforested every tree I am not tapping

[stoic acorn]

you can also use garden pots - I have a few along the edges of the greenhouse with coffee, tea, and cactus

[distant seal]

Should I remake my greenhouse into a starfruit greenhouse

I can probably make semi consistent profits

Relying on it

[tough remnant]

Just buy it

guys where is leo? im trying to find him, it says on fridays 8pm he will be in his treehouse its 9:30 and he isnt here

[woven tusk]

V1.6 may have broken his schedule, it is allegedly fixed in 1.6.9

[hazy hamlet]

then where even is he

[woven tusk]

...Something occurred to me.
After viewing Abigail's spirit board scene, she becomes invisible until the following morning (because she's hiding from you in embarrassment). She can, however, still open doors and stuff (I went right back into Pierre's to deliver a thing and saw her door open by itself).
Maybe something similar actually happened to Leo

[hazy hamlet]

idk? im 0 hearts with leo rn

[woven tusk]

As in, he's still walking around and doing stuff but a scene caused him to be invisible (and maybe intangible or non-interactive?)

[hazy hamlet]

tryna give him something for his birthday

oh nvm it says on wiki he comes back home 8pm

and i see him rn

its 10pm tho

usually he sleeps 8-10

rn he is just outside

[trim plinth]

Maybe it's "8pm goes home", but since one of his favorite spot is near the golden parrot, it takes quite some time to come back home

But yes 1.6.9 makes the wiki schedule consistent with what happens ingame from what I have seen in my past runs

When you have more than 6 hearts with him and he is supposed to be in town, wiki is completely unreliable(if you are not playing 1.6.9)

[distant seal]

What do I lose if I sleep in SC

[trim plinth]

1000g at most

[distant seal]

Do I lose more if I sleep on the farm?

Or the same

?

[trim plinth]

same

[distant seal]

SO might as well run the clock

[trim plinth]

I find it is nice to go to desert trader from times to times though. She has nice things that make next runs better.

[chilly bloom]

Yeah it’s always better

As the later hours in the cavern are so much more valuable

[distant seal]

True dat, I got a prismatic shard right before I passed out

[trim plinth]

The 1000g toll you pay is calculated by taking 10% of your wallet, capped at 1000g. Meaning if you spend as much as possible everyday and go in the mines or SC with a dry wallet, then wont even be able to take your money, since you are poor. If you spend a lot, once again, you gain more.
But yes in SC deep levels, it is clearly worth trying to grind for a few more things. If you are 1 tile away from your house or deep in SC, you pay the same bill.

[distant seal]

Debating on going to ginger island or back to sc since I have another good luck day finally

[trim plinth]

Luck gives more holes/staircases. It should have a bigger impact in SC.

[chilly bloom]

Yeah may as well use good luck days in the cavern

Unless you’re panning for lucky rings or want slightly better rare chest odds in the volcano luck doesn’t really affect it much

[distant seal]

Yeah i might as well, i could actually put enchants on the rest of my tools and have artful on my galaxy hammer

(golden walnut related, i already got the starfruit from the sweetest taste)

[woven tusk]

There are multiple things I could call shrines there

[rigid breach]

i finished the 3 crop (melon, wheat, garlic) one

[woven tusk]

How many pedestals are you looking at?

[trim plinth]

It's the shrine with the gems related to birbs during rain. It's in the rainforest. If you look closely there is a hint on the ground in the top right of the forest, leading to a hidden path.

[stoic acorn]

if it's the one with the bananas, try offering a banana... if it's the one with the 4 pedestals, it's a game of Mastermind but with gems

[rigid breach]

i genuinely have no idea

[rigid breach]

oh i havent gotten a banana sapling yet,,,

im 1 dragon tooth short

[trim plinth]

You should not spend dragon tooth to trade imo. They are too valuable. Spam golden coconuts, these you can have a huge amount

[rigid breach]

the birb said rainforest

[rigid breach]

oh shoot right

golden coconuts have a chance to have a banana sapling right?

[rigid breach]

ive gotten another mango

[trim plinth]

You can trade 10 regular coconut for 1 golden coconut

Desert is full of coconuts if you chop off trees

also you can shake GI palmtrees for coconuts(do no cut these ones)

you can buy coconuts from Sandy

Also Volcano runs can give you both golden coconuts and saplings

Another way is to get a fish pond with blue discus

they give both bananas(16%) and golden coconuts(5%)

Spend you dragon teeth if you want, but you need them for other things

[rigid breach]

thank for letting me know that bananas do have a chance to spawn in golden coconuts

worry not

i shall not spend those lol

i have a lot of coconut anyway

You can also get as many as three golden coconuts at once from digging artifact spots on GI

[trim plinth]

Have you considered moving the greenhouse to make it closer of your house ? It is a bit in the way and far away

4 corners is a fine map, even in solo

[tough remnant]

I do love Four Corners

Honestly, 1.6 was an amazing update for maps

Meadowlands is a great new map

And it also made Riverland not complete garbage by adding the free smoker

[trim plinth]

What makes it good to you ? I really did not like it. The cave the water supply being so far away, and the coop felt like it slowed me down more than anything.

I like Forest, Hill-top, beach, 4 corners

[tough remnant]

It's large, it's very pretty, blue grass is genuinely a game changing benefit, and starting with a coop and chickens instead of parsnips is a very significant early gameplay change

Forest was previously prettiest map, but is now supplanted by Meadowlands

[leaden stratus]

I have a mini obelisk near my house that leads to it

[woven tusk]

Meadowlands has waterfalls and stuff

That's some insane (and very literal) drip

[tough remnant]

I think the Hilltop farm is the actual worst farm now

Riverland got buffed

And now there's a reason to play it

[leaden stratus]

it might be

[trim plinth]

Hilltop was fun to me. I liked the challenge of multiple small surfaces.

[tough remnant]

Hilltop unfortunately is not very good in terms of usable space, its mini-quarry isn't particularly useful at any stage of the game, and the river running down the middle could be pretty, but is ruined by the fact that you will forever have sketchy plank gangways for crossing over it instead of actual bridges, right in the middle of your farm

Every farm with bridges on it needs a purchaseable upgrade from Robin to replace the planks with actual nice-looking bridges

[trim plinth]

I wish Robin had an apprentice so we could start multiple constructions at once.

Even if the apprentice takes more time to do it

[tough remnant]

I'd take the ability to queue constructions personally

But then again, time management is a core element of the game

[hushed hare]

one month form regular quality to gold, and then another month from gold to iridium

[wheat sluice]

I think that would be a great addition to the game, but I also think that it would only work well if you paid when you added things to the queue

[olive surge]

and maybe even several design options like in Animal Crossing or simply customizable

[woven tusk]

Casking wine is kind of disappointing in the end. I grudgingly used the ones that came with the cellar, because I didn't have the materials to do what I actually wanted with it (garden pots and more kegs)

[tough remnant]

TBH I usually use the cellar for crystalariums

And a handful of casks

[distant seal]

I currently use the attic for crystalariums

What is the best combo for burglar ring

Burglar + lucky?

Burglar + napalm?

[rich lake]

Depends on what other rings you have

What ring you pair specifically with burglars doesn't matter

It'll have the same effect if it's paired with any other one

[distant seal]

My main goal with combat is to farm for resources

So maybe iridium band + slime charmer and lucky ring + burglar?

or maybe napalm plus burglar and iridium plus lucky?

What do you think @rich lake

[woven tusk]

Other Discord

[rich lake]

I prefer napalm over slime charmer personally

I'd probably go iridium + immunity + burglar + hot java, personally. Immunity could be swapped out for something else but I like being immune to debuffs and you can achieve that with Mermaid Boots + Immunity Band.

must say, I especially like the whole "pleased you were honourable and didn't cheat by crafting staircases"... 😂

[topaz gull]

congrats!!!!!

[woven tusk]

He gives you some wiggle room! I think the limit was 10 staircases until he changes to the "aww, you cheesed it" dialogue.
He still gives you the reward, though, since it still takes some doing to get a lot of staircases (collect a large quantity of stone, or spend lots of money to buy stone, or build a several crystalariums to churn out a zillion jades to exchange for stairs...)

[distant seal]

When does it stop mattering as much for good or bad luck days for mining in places like SC or volcano?

I do have the desert obelisk so I might not have to care about SC diving as much

[rigid breach]

HOLY SHIT YES

YESYESYESYES

[woven tusk]

It always matters. Base ladder chance is 2%; max luck increases this by 2% (i.e. doubles it), and worst luck decreases it by 2% (i.e. you don't have a base chance to spawn a ladder anymore, only buff luck and the "number of rocks left" chance remains). Special Charm increases this by 0.5%

[distant seal]

Okay so still mainly mine on good luck days

[woven tusk]

Indeed. If there are 100 stones on a floor, you'd start with 1% chance to find the exit if you have the worst daily luck and no buffs nor special charm; on a max luck day and the same conditions, you'd start with a 5% chance to find the exit.
That's an extreme case, but even if we add a point of luck from a Spicy Eel, the difference is still 2% vs 6%.

The higher your luck is, the more likely you are to find an exit with your first bomb, and the faster you move through.

[stoic acorn]

high luck also means a higher chance to get a shaft instead of stairs, which can really speed up the descent - especially if you get a 10+ fall

[chilly bloom]

That’s not true, the chance for shafts to replace a ladder is always the same

The chance for ladders in general is affected by daily and buff luck

[stoic acorn]

https://forums.stardewvalley.net/threads/luck-what-it-does-and-doesnt-affect.11802/
this forum post says the following:

"But each staircase has a 20% chance to be a shaft instead. Baseline that's only a .5% chance to be one, meaning you'll see one on average for every 130ish rocks you break. With 7 luck in your pocket, you're instead looking at getting them 2.2% of the time, which means on average you find them for every 34 rocks you break."

[chilly bloom]

Yeah that’s saying that in relation to each stone you break

Not to each ladder you get

It even says “each staircase has a 20% chance to be a shaft instead”

[stray swift]

i agree with the above statements

[distant seal]

I realize as much as I originally lament the desert fest appearing on the same time as salmonberry days, I realize for me that I don't even need energy anymore. I just need buffs/healing for me

As all my tools have efficient as the stats except watering can

choose the shrimp then eat any dish that adds to the fishing level

level 16 fishing is possible without qi or enchantments

[tough remnant]

Strongly disagree. Staircase spam with MRC + (seasoned) ginger ale and lucky rings is the way to go

[stray swift]

the chance isnt just 2%, you also have to roll a special item from the barrel

then the chance of that special item being an autopetter is 2%

[unborn quartz]

I'm not one for spamming staircases, I get burnout in like 5 seconds, I really feel it's easier to fight monsters and break barrels (at least less boring for me)

[stray swift]

well there's boring and then there's effective

[tough remnant]

Got 4 autopetters yesterday from around 300 staircases

[stray swift]

i think thats luckier than average

how many day resets did that take if any

[tough remnant]

None

Was above average

I've got quite a lot to collect still

I want about 50 in total

I have 6

[stray swift]

yeah its like way above average no?

max treasure room chance is like 1/7 or something which is average 40 treasure rooms from 300 stairs

i dont know the new chances for autopetters in 1.6 but i know the chance decreased from 1/26 so i would say 4 is a great outcome

[tough remnant]

I'm backported to 1.5 for now while I gather iridium seaweed for my aquariums

So I have slightly better odds at the moment

But yeah, this was a hot streak

I've probably used something like 1200-1500 stairs all up, and gotten 6 autopetters across them, but most of those weren't done with max luck

65k I would say

[nimble turtle]

would you keep the parshnip seeds or go potatoes?

[trim plinth]

Dehydrator makes your stuff gold quality + small bonus + aritsan bonus. It does not match the money gained with jars or kegs, but it is fast and deals with a lot of crops at once. I usually do not get more than 10 dehydrator(this is end game). 5 is nice to me. I find it is good for shrooms, but if they are iridium I do not bother using the dehydrator and sell them raw.

[trim plinth]

Potatoes are great. Not sure it is worth selling the parsnip seeds though.

[crisp ginkgo]

It's 40k for the desert, also for the joja route, you can wait on buying the membership. Check the bundles rewards and get what you'd like by completing them, just don't finish the whole thing

[sage heart]

thank you!

[gleaming marten]

for vanilla stuff only, I'd have about 6-8 dehydrators. one for the mushroom cave, and the rest for dealing with my salmonberries/blueberries/blackberries

[tough remnant]

You can sorta do both - if you buy the Joja membership on the same day that you complete the last bundle, you'll end up in a position where the 6 stars for completing the community centre are filled in, in the Joja Warehouse

But mechanically, it will count as doing the Joja route

So no missing bundle, community centre is replaced with Joja Warehouse/Movie Theatre, Joja stays in business, Pierre stays closed on Wednesdays, Clint stays open on Fridays, etc.

[nimble turtle]

just got a crop fairy on day one

[olive surge]

strange, when i interracted with the statue of blessings, some of the butterflies changed shapes for whatever reason

[crisp ginkgo]

Did you get prismatic butterfly blessing ?

[olive surge]

it's that one yes

it flickers between white and light-blue for some reason

i got the blessing again later and the same thing happened. it's clearly a different sprite

[trim plinth]

It's interesting that gathering clams found in crab traps are at most silver quality, while when they are found on the beach, with botanist, you get iridium quality.

[crisp ginkgo]

That means you have a prismatic butterfly somewhere that will give you money if you click it, gotta find it before 5pm though

[rigid breach]

help im losing my mind /silly i misplaced my WATERING CAN

💀

[agile latch]

rip

[olive surge]

no wonder i never find it, it's timed

[mellow atlas]

wdym lol, i already did cc so joja is gone

[mellow atlas]

ohss okays

[olive surge]

it's also in chests in the Skull Cavern, but it's also a low chance

[crisp ginkgo]

Yeah that's what they were saying

[boreal vector]

Will stardew continue getting updates or is 1.6 final

[rich lake]

I don't think we know yet

[woven tusk]

Blueberries yes
I would absolutely not use them on Salmonberries or Blackberries

Salmonberries are more valuable as energy than as money. One packet of Dried Salmonberries is worth less energy than the five Salmonberries it's made from.

Blackberries are available in the Fall. Bear's Knowledge becomes available soon after that, at which point dehydrating Blackberries is just throwing large amounts of money directly into the trash

[olive surge]

and you can't keep the quality through the dehydrator, so no

[trim plinth]

I do like using them as energy provider. Once I am done with the mines, I do not really need energy in it anymore, since I only go there for coal/copper/iron, where the monsters are not a threat. I also have better energy stuff like carrot, summer squash, sashimi. SC becomes my gold provider. I end up using salmonberries and blackberries as gifts. Demetrius, Robin, Jody, Shane, Leah, Pam, Linus like salmonberries. Same people like blackberries with the addition of Harvey and Elliott.

Processing everything you have when it is not worth it has fooled me many times in my early 1.6 runs. I used to smoke snails. Yup it was dumb.

Dehydrator makes your stuff gold quality + small bonus(and artisan bonus). It remains very weak on cheap stuff.

[chilly bloom]

It’s equally strong on weak as strong stuff

In fact it’s generally better on weaker stuff because they have proportionally higher profit margins vs their cost

[trim plinth]

If you do not consider your processor time as ressource, that is true

[chilly bloom]

Sure, but it processes instantly overnight and the machine is very cheap

Just 15 of them is going through 75 crops a day

[trim plinth]

Your farmer time to put the stuff inside and gather and sell is also a resource. I do not have 15 dehydrators either because it does not suit my production. It is not worth it for me to process cheap stuff since I do not have infinite time nor processing machines.

[chilly bloom]

Ok sure but 15 machines is basically not a time cost at all

You can have those by your bed and fill them in a matter of 10 minutes in game

[trim plinth]

You can but I do not.

I cannot have 300 processing machines right next to my bed?

[chilly bloom]

All I’m saying is that crops like blueberry will make more cash than their counterpart if you are processing them

[chilly bloom]

You’re also not processing 10500 crops a week?

[trim plinth]

Oh yes blueberries are worth dehydrating, I agree.

[chilly bloom]

That’s pretty much the epitome of low value crop

[distant seal]

It's not worth using the dehydrator for ancient fruit right?

[trim plinth]

if you have 100 ancient fruits waiting in your chests and have not enough keg/jar to process, it is

[woven tusk]

The original question was about a shed of dehydrators, I think
I wouldn't do that because I wouldn't need to do that (dehydrators processing so many items in so little time, means a shed is overkill)

One shed of dehydrators can process as many items as ten to fifteen sheds of preserves jars.
If you told people you have that many sheds of preserves jars, they'd look at you funny

Putting them in a room of the farmhouse would be easy. It would all even fit.

[carmine patio]

dehydrators

[distant seal]

Fair

[carmine patio]

just wanted to say something 1.6 without spoiling it

ok thnx bye

[distant seal]

I have a shed for preserves a shed for kegs

Idk what to use my next shed for that's different

I could do more kegs but honestly I don't need it

[tough remnant]

Crystalarium sheds are a great investment

[maiden fiber]

I always wanted one

[trim plinth]

Crashed SDV once again

Here goes my run

[maiden fiber]

why?

[trim plinth]

I enter the cc it crashes. I am day 1 of y2.

This is my second unfinishable run. I wonder If I should give up on 1.6.9. I submit bugs but I have no idea if they are read.

[chilly bloom]

I’d hope they are

There are an absolutely absurd amount of them though

[spring fern]

hey everyone

[distant seal]

Okay so I just fully expanded my house, how do I organize based it on the five skills of the farmer

I got my room for mining stuff, and I just need my fishing, foraging, farming, and maybe combat room? Idk

[normal falcon]

Cool idea

[distant seal]

Can you harvest any crop on GI?

Or only summer crops along with GI crops?

I mean, plant and harvest

[woven tusk]

Any crop in the game, it's a giant greenhouse

Otherwise the garlic quest for the gourmand frog wouldn't work

[rigid breach]

ANY CROP? well then, GI is free real estate for me

thanks for letting me know (i had to look up for all the crops)

i have blueberries, pineapples, and taro root in GI

also sunflowers

though i have 200+ in stock

that i can easily gave to my wife haley and make oil with

[woven tusk]

Lately, GI actually got even better by an update to Garden Pots...

Bee Houses used to ignore flowers in Garden Pots. Now, they don't.
GI can grow Fairy Roses year round. Most of the farm map isn't actually soil.

Sooooo garden potted Fairy Roses for honey

Grow your cash crops in the soil and set up bee house networks on the not-soil.

[rigid breach]

I should've used seedmakers for my fairy rose instead of make fairy dust with it 🥲

dumb move

but oh well!

this delays my money making for one season

my income would be from my mystic syrup turned fairy dust from racoon wife converted to iridium ancient wine

then i'll save all the ancient wine to scam pierre /silly

not ship them

[rigid breach]

for now I'll grow a blue jazz

in GI

[grim rose]

I want to get iridium quality wine but I can’t be bothered getting the casks for it 😭

[rigid breach]

it's included in the final farmhouse upgrade XD

[grim rose]

Yeah ik but I have 200+ kegs compared to 33 casks

[rigid breach]

OH 😭 i actually feel this,, i have lesser kegs but i have more regular wine saved than iridium made

i only have 4 mystic trees so far

i'm planting more in my farm soon

[grim rose]

I wanna get more mystic trees but I don’t feel like grinding mahogany seeds for it

[rigid breach]

mahogany seeds are found almost daily in the secret woods

and GI

i get mine from there

[grim rose]

I don’t get very lucky with the stumps in the secret woods unfortunately

So GI is my only source of mahogany

[rigid breach]

honestly regretted not getting more mahogany seeds in secret woods and GI then until i found out abt mystic syrup 🥲

so much to learn about the game

[grim rose]

I guess I’ll save my mahogany seeds next file I guess

[rigid breach]

I'm not getting into my next file until I achieve perfection in my first one unfortunately 😞

I actually almost it last night cause I don't know where I put my watering can 😭

I went back and forth with going to calico desert and GI looking at every chest I had

Turns out I misplaced it in one of my large chests 💀

[grim rose]

Me neither

[distant seal]

I don't think I ever got the tea sapling recipe from Caroline and I am full hearts with her

[woven tusk]

Visit her tea garden (back room of the kitchen in Pierre's)

She mails you the blueprint on the following day

Well, I suppose it was probably mailed that evening. It arrives on the following day

[worldly tartan]

i posted this here because the little bobber machine in the second photo but huh? how do i get answered even though, yk

how am i getting received?

[sour phoenix]

his spirit

[quiet rampart]

self-service, probably

[grizzled trail]

what trinkets do yall use when going into the skull cavern

[sour phoenix]

Normally the ice rod

[grizzled trail]

magic quiver?

[quiet rampart]

huh?

there's a trinket called ice rod

which freezes enemies

[distant seal]

You need a maximum of 189 casks if you want to go insanely hardmode cask maxxing

but you only need 125

that is the max for easy cask access

(on PC)

[quiet rampart]

189? do you just fill every tile in the cellar with casks?

[grizzled trail]

yeah ik, im just asking if the magic quiver is good too since i got one

[sour phoenix]

Yes

[quiet rampart]

if it's the only one you got, then sure

there's better options though

[sour phoenix]

Yeah it's also pretty helpful, I would say they are 2 best ones but it depends on your playstyle (like most things in the game)

[quiet rampart]

and trinkets aren't too hard to get

[sour phoenix]

somemight say they are too easy

[quiet rampart]

yeah mastery too

a few dives in SC and I have all 5

like wut

[alpine mountain]

damn smoker helps so much

[quiet rampart]

is that smoked crimsonfish?

[sour phoenix]

I would hope it's the son of crimsonfish

[quiet rampart]

yeah...

[distant seal]

Yeah i realize I never visited her tea garden in my current save lol

I should probably make a room just for fishing and smokers

[distant seal]

Yes but that's for insanemode

125 is fine for PC players

118 if you play mobile apparently though

[cunning cove]

Yes when the time comes to harvest you just hoe the casks

[quiet rampart]

huh that might actually be worth the effort

125 to 189 is a lot

that's basically 128 more AF wine a year

[grim rose]

What’s insane mode? Is that just a mod that lets you walk through casks?

[distant seal]

No just that you need to individually hit every cask with a tool

meticulously as you can't reach them all by just just right clicking

[woven tusk]

Well, not necessarily individually

A hoe with Reaching can probably hit 25 at once

Wonder what the G/year comes out to, comparing 189 casks aging Starfruit Wine vs whatever the new triple-packed Garden Pot and Keg layout would be, with Pineapples

[distant seal]

Best trinkets to use??

[quiet rampart]

depends on your play style, I like ice rod

[astral vine]

i prefer ice rod too

[grim rose]

I like the basilisk paw

[quiet rampart]

yeah it's pretty nice with dragonscale boots

[signal path]

Me too

[warped panther]

i believe garden pots come out on top

coz it ends up as like 3-4x the g/d

[chilly bloom]

I mean literally anything can come on top of casks. That’s not the point tho, you can place most machines anywhere else in the world and casks only in one spot so you may as well keep the basement as casks and just have the machines elsewhere

You should only consider swapping soemthing for another thing that can go elsewhere if you run out of space or run out of time
