[lunar adder]

from my understanding you can pay it to find ALL of them, or just whatever you have left

[lean grail]

Talk to the bird in Leo’s house.

[trim plinth]

Ask to Leo's parrot ?

[lunar adder]

it’s stopped giving me hints

[trim plinth]

https://www.ign.com/wikis/stardew-valley/All_Golden_Walnuts

[unborn quartz]

Oh, it may stop telling you once you've unlocked everything

[lunar adder]

yes i know but because i haven’t touched the game in 8 months i don’t know which ones i got and which ones i didn’t

[lunar adder]

no, there’s just a couple it doesn’t give hints for

i know one walnut i’m missing is from getting a really good score at the pirate game, but i suck at it

[woven tusk]

Sounds like a good time to try using Stardew Checkup

It's a web applet that lets your computer scan your save file and tell you what is and isn't missing

!checkup

[unkempt dome]

Curious about your in-game achievement status? Tracking perfection? Stardew Checkup can help you find what you’re missing. BEWARE OF SPOILERS. https://mouseypounds.github.io/stardew-checkup/

To use this command, type !checkup.

[lunar adder]

too late 🫠

[woven tusk]

Oof

Because if you don't hire the parrot, you can get a "No Joja Services used!" tag in the curtain call after perfection

[lunar adder]

WHAT

oh well

i would rather just achieve perfection for the first time than suffer trying to get the last walnuts

i got to see Morris’s thick thighs

[woven tusk]

Yeah, it scrolls by with an image of Morris planted headfirst in the ground, presumably wherever he landed after Pierre uppercutted him

[trim plinth]

People will be pointing fingers at you

[woven tusk]

...And saying "relatable, fuck that last walnut tbh"

[trim plinth]

People, what a bunch of nerd gamers

[lunar adder]

based on what i’ve seen on reddit, “it was worth it for the last few walnuts” is the general consensus on the bird

[balmy garnet]

wait you mean you guys don

't spend 1.5 mil to get all the walnuts in 5 minutes?

._.

[lean grail]

I haven’t even made 1M total yet.

[bold umbra]

Yeara for the next book??

[regal ivy]

1.5 came out in 2020. And 1.6 this year. So if 1.7 ever happens, it'll most likely be years until that comes out

Especially since he'll be working on haunted chocolatier after 1.6 comes out

[rich lake]

^^

[wet cedar]

If I do a challenge where I can only leave my farm on festival days, do you think the dog or cat is better for gifts?

[wet cedar]

knowing concerned ape, 1.7 would start off as a QoL update but spiral into a big content update that takes way longer 😂

[twilit orchid]

will the trees will go back to normal?

[sonic skiff]

yes

[twilit orchid]

oh nice

[bold umbra]

I read now because you didn't ping/quote me lol, so I guess I'll buy the next version.

Do you guys have an idea more or less when the next version of the book can be out?

[wet cedar]

moss trees will remain being moss trees

by moss trees I mean the special ones. Not just trees that have moss on them

[twilit orchid]

so I need to chop them if I wanted the normal tree again?

[wet cedar]

Yeah

They have a chance of dropping mossy seeds though, so you can replant them elsewhere\

[twilit orchid]

thanks for the information

[wet cedar]

This type is neat since putting a tapper on it will produce fiddlehead ferns every other day

[wet cedar]

No problem!

Oh, also, mossy trees increase the chance/speed of moss of trees around them

@twilit orchid WAIT!

It turns out im wrong

New mossy trees will reamin, BUT, if they transformed a preexisitng regular tree, they will turn back to normal

my bad 😅

[twilit orchid]

naisu

[woven tusk]

Hm? No, they turn to regular trees afterward even if the green rain spawned them directly

I was finding pines in weird places for days after green rain

[wet cedar]

I already corrected myself

[wet cedar]

That's because green rain causes normal trees to appear and grow as well

[lyric sparrow]

Some turn back, some remain moss trees. I've got a mixture of both after a green rain.

I'll have to check my tree farm again. No mahogany trees turned: I have a solid grid of mahogany trees. But my oaks and maples seem to have moss trees in the grid spots I planted seeds. I could be wrong. I haven't looked that closely.

[sacred nymph]

are mossy seeds new in 1.6

[hard plinth]

yes

[sacred nymph]

what do they do

[hard plinth]

grow green rain trees

I think the type is random of the 3 varieties

[sacred nymph]

ok

[crude tangle]

The drops from the trees are fairly valuable when sold too

[wet cedar]

Reading the wiki, it sounds like converted ones always turn back and brand new ones remain

[lyric sparrow]

Going by the even mahogany trees, on further reflection, I'd say you're right. I'll have to check the maples and oaks, which I didn't fertilize and haven't all grown yet. That part is a real patchwork and that probably had me drawing a wrong conclusion.

[woven tusk]

When I first had Green Rain, zero mutant trees remained on the subsequent day. Every last one of them became regular trees until Fall, which can mutate existing trees as a separate thing

[leaden stratus]

now that's a treasure chest

[rich lake]

Wowza

[lyric sparrow]

Interesting. I had mutant trees all over the place after both Green Rains.

[rich lake]

Who even cares about the fish

[lyric sparrow]

Holy cow!! That's ONE chest?

[leaden stratus]

one

[trim plinth]

I do not remember ever seeing a fish inside a chest

[woven tusk]

Collateral damage in pursuit of t r e a s u r e

[leaden stratus]

I was fishing for stardrop tea

[leaden stratus]

full inventory

[leaden stratus]

7 to be exact

[lyric sparrow]

Must've caught a shark. 😆

[woven tusk]

Looks like a chub

[leaden stratus]

I got some really insane rng overall

money :D

[wet cedar]

didnt know you get get fairy dust

[leaden stratus]

from golden treasure chest

[wet cedar]

@edgy raptor

@lyric sparrow at least do squid fest year 1 for these rewards

trout derby rewards are fun but mostly novelty

the prize ticket is good tho

nvm I lied

you dont get a prize ticket lol

[lyric sparrow]

I've decided, after consulting the Wiki, that selling books back to the bookseller is less valuable to me than the XP applied to my Mastery XP. Am I missing something important about selling? Because none of the items you get in trade really dazzle me.
Also, just got second Mastery. First was Farming. I'm wanting Mining second, for that big furnace recipe.

[wet cedar]

(But you get a really ugly bucket hat)

[wet cedar]

After you've hit max mastery, thats when you would sell

Also, some of the trades are neat

I watched a guy do a challenge where he couoldnt craft and he used the bookseller to get monster musk

You can get 8 fairy dust from a book of stars!

[lyric sparrow]

I might have done that earlier, but I recently got the recipe, so I've made my own.

[wet cedar]

The Jelly trades are also nice. Also the artifact troves and the slime press/incubator

[lyric sparrow]

Monster Musk, not Fairy Dust.

[wet cedar]

you can also trade for it with raccoons once theyre max level

fairy dust

[lyric sparrow]

I don't do slimes, and get so many omnis that artifact troves are easy.

[wet cedar]

The 7 mystery box trade aint bad since they can be turned into gold ones

[wet cedar]

You should at least one one slime egg press. The eggs sell for a lot

Green - 1,000

Blue - 1,750
Red - 2,500
purple - 5,000

(you cant get tiger eggs from egg press)

[lyric sparrow]

But the Slime Hutch is so damned ugly and takes up too much space for what little money it brings in.

[wet cedar]

Just chuck it in your house and drop off 100 slime after every SC run lol

[wet cedar]

you can trade for a slime press from the bookseller

you dont need to buy the hutch

You could also always dismantle the hutch

(wait i forgot you can also jsut craft the egg press. I was thinking of how the incubator recipe is from buying the hutch)

[lyric sparrow]

I'm using my slime for Monster Musk. And I don't hunt slimes, I avoid them as a general waste of time in SC, and only kill them when they get in my way during dust sprite farming.

[wet cedar]

(nvm Im wrong on that too)

I kill slimes in SC since they can drop iridium

Also, I like using Napalm ring + Burglars ring so killing monsters is always a plus

[lyric sparrow]

Not enough to make them waste my time on them once I can staircase past those initial levels. Combat is a waste of time in SC, so I avoid it. My goal is hundreds of iridium and whatever other loot I can get.

From bomb mining.

[wet cedar]

I like to kill enemies that have good loot

like mummies

I also get a good amount of prismatic shards from enemies

[wet cedar]

Carbon ghosts as well

And napalm ring makes ladders/holes be uncovered a lot quicker

Off topic but how are raisins consumed? Is it based on crop amounts, days, or both?

[edgy raptor]

So 10 cherry bombs to destroy tree?

[woven tusk]

People keep showing up asking how to get more jelly, so yeah the jelly trades are handy

[wet cedar]

The best way to get jellies is by not trying to get them

then they always show up

[lyric sparrow]

I'm not mining with a pick. I'm bomb mining. Staircase down past 100 before starting. Only stop on floors with lots of ore nodes. Run around laying down bombs in big caverns, or use my slingshot with explosive ammo to blow up ores close to walls. Grab the results, staircase out.
No futzing around with mobs. I'm not there for them or their drops.
This is a middling SC run. I'll be getting twice the iridium, and eventually 3x once I get enough staircases. Combat is a waste of time for me in SC. I don't care about mob drops. I'm there for ores.

[edgy raptor]

Damn

[mellow atlas]

I got over 600 iridium on my sc to 1000+ run

explosive ammo with master slingshot op

[lyric sparrow]

It sure is.

[mellow atlas]

plus it's great at ruining friendship too

[lyric sparrow]

There are guys who do pause buffering and can come back with stacks of iridium. I don't bother, but anything close to a full stack for me is a VERY good day.

[solar gorge]

I mean what do you even do with that much iridium

[leaden stratus]

it's good money

[lyric sparrow]

Some folks have fun selling iridium bars, but I'm not convinced the expense in bombs is worth it. I was making crystalariums for a diamond empire. Ended up with over 9000 crystalariums making diamonds.

I was doing an SC runs a few times a week, then down to two and eventually only one day a week, all of it regardless of luck. Because the more crystalarium sheds I made, the tighter my schedule became. Once it was all done, there was NO time for SC runs or anything but unloading diamonds and making wine. It was a serious grind.

[rich iron]

I ran calculations before

Assuming 150 bombs, you only need around 110 iridium to break even in y1

125 in y2+

If you can consistently get 200+ its a net profit

Though I ran the calculations under the assumption that I would farm all my iron

[wet cedar]

I am pleasently surprised by Year 2 Spirit's Eve

glad I went

[mossy dune]

energyless stardew is one of the most interesting challenges I've ever done

[solar gorge]

Ore or bars

[rich iron]

Ore

[lean grail]

Cave jellies are a pain.

[tough remnant]

And after I went to the trouble of putting detailed explanations and strategies for all of them on the wiki...

[tough remnant]

It easily is if you start deep enough and use Blacksmith profession. So long as you hit at least 2 nodes per megabomb, you're already turning a small profit - nothing to write home about, but more than enough to cover your costs. And at lower levels, you're often looking at closer to 10 nodes per mega bomb, which is around 30 ore on average with Miner, or as much as 40 if you also have bonus ore from Statue of the Dwarf King.

For every 40 ore, smelted in heavy furnaces, you get 8.8 iridium bars on average, selling for just over 13k. That's a profit of 12k per megabomb, which is well worth it.

[lyric sparrow]

Thanks. I trust you and your math. I hadn't bothered doing it yet.

I needed all those resources in my last save, so I wasn't selling anything.
Plus, I took the position of, "Sell an iridium bar, get paid once. Turn it into a crystalarium, get paid every five days forever."

[coral arrow]

do the squids appear all day during squidfest or only at night?

[tough remnant]

For sure, although if you want a big cash injection now, SC is generally the fastest way in the game to earn money quickly

[lyric sparrow]

It's also a lot more fun.

[tough remnant]

The materials to make a crystalarium ship for ~5k if you have Blacksmith

Duping Diamonds with Gemologist, you're still looking at around a season in-game before the Crystalarium covers its own cost

Well worth it for casual playthroughs, but if you need that money in a few days rather than a month to hit some deadline for a challenge run? Just sell the resources

[leaden stratus]

oh that's pretty nice

[lean grail]

All day.

[woven tusk]

Gold ore is common in SC. Enemies drop solar and void essence in there as well. You can craft mega bombs on the fly.

[coral arrow]

Cool TY

[lyric sparrow]

Cool. Not something I would have thought of when I needed more gold than iridium for all those crystalariums.

[tough remnant]

I just buy the gold from Willy via treasure bobbers TBH

Worst case scenario, I get my money back by selling the excess bars

It costs 375g per bar when deconstructing purchased treasure hunters, which is how much gold bars sell for with Blacksmith

So if I end up with an excess, at least I only wasted my time

[lyric sparrow]

Same. I had deconstructors and hoppers running Treasure Hunters 24/7 for years. Still, every little bit of gold helped.

[tough remnant]

Solar panels are also gold-expensive, and very important since 1.6 patched storm chaining with totems

[mossy dune]

do shears and milk pails use energy?

[leaden stratus]

a little bit

[mossy dune]

Dang that will be rough for my no energy run

[lean grail]

Just buy an auto grabber.

[lyric sparrow]

Or find one in an SC treasure chest. I found two and saved 50k.

But that was luck, of course. Still no luck with auto-petters.

But I've yet to do an treasure-room run. Working on building up the required staircases.

[lean grail]

I found one before getting the red cabbage seed.

[leaden stratus]

Today I've learned that changing your innate enchants in the forge is random

you can reset the day until you get exactly what you want

[chilly bloom]

1.6 also just straight up buffed solar panels too

Now the desert is entirely its own location with its own underlying weather instead of like “reskinned” mainland weather

So solar panels work constantly there now

[lyric sparrow]

That is so star-spangled awesome!!

[rich lake]

Oh what really

So wild trees will also grow there in winter w/o fert?

[hushed hare]

didn't know that! but I did notice that wasn't the case in 1.5, didn't realize that it would be significant enough to patch tbh

[cunning cove]

Huge if true

[chilly bloom]

Haven’t tested but could be, also weather≠season tho

So the seasonal limits may be the same just ported over

May be valuable to check

[mellow atlas]

I hope they can make leo a roommate now in 1.6

he's my favorite character

[wet cedar]

I did all of the Raccoon quests but didnt get the achievement?

[lyric sparrow]

I only got two quests, then it was "I need a wife", then the wife shows up, they offer stuff for trade, now it's "Now we need kids" or somesuch. Still waiting for another quest.

[wet cedar]

Ive done all 8

Idk why I dont have the achievement :(

[cloud crystal]

have you seen the raccoon cutscene with all the babies? I believe that's when I got the achievement, when I went back to the forest and saw the cutscene

[wet cedar]

They have all of their babies (4) but I never got a cutscene

[thorn lance]

Should be 9 raccoons (2 adults and 7 kids).

[wet cedar]

Is there a one week wait after the last quest?

[thorn lance]

Hmm not sure how many days (I didn’t really count it), but new quest will pop up as soon as new babies raccoon appears

[lunar adder]

8 kids

[hushed hare]

even after finishing all the quests, it can sometime take a while for the cutscene to show up

[thorn lance]

Ah right, 9

[rose knoll]

Sheesh - I can see why the Burgler's Ring is gated behind dust sprites

It's straight up bonkers

2 Ectoplasm on the first ghost kill

[lunar adder]

i completely forgot about the roe book.

i just caught the Legend II and while the gold star fish is worth $11k, I got $10k worth of roe with it

(as well as a golden animal cracker for that extra $1k)

[chilly bloom]

I mean it didn’t help you at all with that

It just gave you a second, useless ectoplasm

[lunar adder]

keepsake

that’s what I did with my bonus prismatic slime

[rose knoll]

Yes, but one kill and home free

No farming needed

And 8 bat wings is silly

[arctic kindle]

Okay yall, so with ginger island im abt to unlock it but i read that I can go into willys shop at 8am. is this true?

[brazen vale]

2 weeks until full release so exciteddddd

[arctic kindle]

yesss!

[thorn lance]

Yes, after unlock the island

[arctic kindle]

ok thanks!

[chilly bloom]

It didn’t affect that though, it just doubled the drop. If you didn’t have the ring you would have gotten the ectoplasm too just a single one

[rose knoll]

It doubles the number of loot rolls

I just hit the loot roll + the power book or double loot

(Ok that was a dumb typo)

[chilly bloom]

Yes, but that’s not how it works for the ectoplasm

Ectoplasm is a 100% drop from a chance monster as opposed to a chance from any monster

The monster that drops the ectoplasm is predetermined when you enter that floor, it was not affected at all by burglar besides dropping the second ectoplasm (which is always will because it’s a 100% to drop from that monster)

[rose knoll]

Fair - I guess I just got silly lucky in the end

But I still enjoy the giant pile of loot pinatas it turns enemies into

[fathom saffron]

12 days, 23hrs, 58 min and counting

[chilly bloom]

I mean if you’re counting minutes do know it’s dependant on time zone

Won’t drop at 12am either

[rose knoll]

And the smart thing to do is wait 8 hours so if there's some gamebreaking flaw that slipped through, it's someone else's problem /jk

[slim cloud]

do the fiddlehead trees disappear after the green rain? i kinda forgot honestly

[rose knoll]

Yes

[finite horizon]

Does console get quickfixes?

I thought the issue with console is that once a bug is in it's in semi permanently

[woven tusk]

V1.6.1 through V1.6.9 are the quickfixes

It's why the console and mobile release were held back

[opal terrace]

With consoles you need to go through a lengthy verification process, so releasing on PC first and fixing all the bugs first is a good solution

[woven tusk]

IIRC V1.6.7 bricked the game and V1.6.8 fixed it the same night, I believe

[opal terrace]

Idk about bricked but it had some big bug

And yeah it was fixed near instant

Which wouldn't have been possible on console and people could be stuck with a game breaking bug for weeks

[woven tusk]

Game crashed if an NPC went to use the Ginger Island resort. Saves became unplayable because the only way to stop them from doing this is to shut down the resort on the previous day... And the resort would be open on that day

[opal terrace]

Now imagine that but you're stuck with it for like 2/3 weeks because the next update that fixes it would need to be verified on all the platforms

Publishing on console sucks

Especially on nintendo platforms where they have like very strict requirements

[trim plinth]

This is why playing beta is invaluable and testing phase should not be underestimated.

https://i.giphy.com/media/v1.Y2lkPTc5MGI3NjExNWJ3M2VnaHhtbTZtaTR4NWxxeHVndHlpbnc3cnZhaHluMDEwNGZ1cCZlcD12MV9pbnRlcm5hbF9naWZfYnlfaWQmY3Q9Zw/7T2R1eAIKnEJnAf5U8/giphy.gif

[cunning cove]

PC release is like an open beta itself

[fathom saffron]

Oh the uh countdown I made is just till 4th Nov Seattle time, I don't know the time it'll drop soo I just put midnight xD

I wish those that I saw complaining on reddit understood that reason for the wait.. I remember telling people that it could brick the console but noo.. they still got annoyed at the lack of communication.

People got too bull-headed there.

Oh and another note on my countdown, I'm in Australia so it's like another day for me on top.. though I guesstimate it'll drop in the evening for me. Or early afternoon.

[violet zephyr]

haven't seen this one in a bit

[hushed hare]

you guys think we'll get the console version update on PC the same day, or a bit eariler to test out some bugs before release?

[unborn quartz]

We'll have 1.6.9 on console, bu whether or not it'll come out on pc at the same time is a mystery

[woven tusk]

I wanna say that ideally, PC releases maybe a week earlier so we can possibly spot any (more) gamebreaking problems like the 1.6.7 thing. But I don't know whether console is porting the code directly (if it isn't, the bugs may not be the same across versions), and I think I heard that mobile definitely does not. Hm...

[trim plinth]

There is a 1.6.9 beta on pc that anybody can participate to. Game breaking bugs are already being reported, and have been for several weeks.

[woven tusk]

Oh, excellent

I keep forgetting about that

[finite horizon]

(Yeah, testing the beta would be great if you have time!)

[maiden fiber]

It’s already in testing for public beta

[tough remnant]

I mean, technically it's not a public beta

You do need to be specifically approved to join it

[trim plinth]

I did nothing

[tough remnant]

They just approve basically anyone 😛

[trim plinth]

And I played the beta

[tough remnant]

You had to use the unlock private beta mechanism in Steam

[rich iron]

Quick question

I got a farming book but I'm already level 10 in farming

Do I sell it, read it or

[lyric sparrow]

I'd save it for when you get to the Mastery Stage. Then the XP you get from it will count.

[leaden stratus]

wait until you unlock mastery

[lyric sparrow]

When you read it.

[rich iron]

Bet

[lyric sparrow]

I'm not impressed by the items you get in trade for any of the books.

I'd rather have the Mastery XP

[leaden stratus]

if you get a lot of books early on their nice

but that's it

[trim plinth]

The wood one gives a bunch. If you trade it is worth it. Others are questionnable. They make loved gifts. Usually selling them is worth more.

Also books that get transformed into xp books after they gave you a power, give less xp than dedicated xp tome. There is no way to know that.

Monster compendium and book of stars might be worth it. Already read power books only give 100 xp in a skill which is nothing, while dedicated xp tomes give 250.

30 deluxe baits for Bait and bobber might be the worse one.

[leaden stratus]

I'd argue woodcutter's weekly is even worse

100 wood is nice but...

it costs 250 foragining exp

[trim plinth]

I never have enough wood, while I often have way too much deluxe baits.

[leaden stratus]

at least fishing exp is easy to get in mass amounts

jewels of the sea trade can be nice if you get cave jelly

[trim plinth]

I think I have never used the dish called Stuffing. At least crab cake gives you speed - I use it more while wandering in the town than in the caverns because it lasts almost an entire day. It would be nice to have a dish that gives both speed and foraging.

I think additional levels in mining given by dishes gives nothing but better efficiency which is often useless because energy becomes a non issue very fast during the run. Once you reach botanist, additional levels in foraging provided by dishes gives nothing at all ? I feel more levels should give slightly more chances to get additional foraged items/wood pieces. Like 7 gives .025; 8 - .05; 9 - .075 etc More mining levels should have a chance for more ore following the same logic.

[leaden stratus]

foraging 12 gives you an extra berry from bushes but that's it

[trim plinth]

Not sure you even harvest berry bushes anymore at this point

[leaden stratus]

it might be useful in some stupid challenges

[tough remnant]

Book of Stars is worth 1125 master XP though

Easily worth holding onto

[woven tusk]

Foraging 9 plus 3 from food (or Foraging 10 plus at least 2 from food) mean four blackberries per bush in the first autumn, with Bear's Knowledge potentially becoming available shortly thereafter

[leaden stratus]

close enough

took over 400 attempts

I have no idea how I got -5 weight +75 crit power on my frist iridium needle in just a few tries

[tough remnant]

Kinda hilarious how weight is treated like a useful stat, when really you'd rather have as little as possible

[leaden stratus]

true

forging weapons with weight is one of the worst ideas

[solar gorge]

How do you add innate enchants?

[leaden stratus]

a weapon drops with one or you use dragon tooth

[solar gorge]

I see

[woven tusk]

Must be currently below Lv15 and not be galaxy/infinity even if it is

Certain upgrades increase the weapon's level. So if that would bring it to 15+, you need to do the Innate before that

[lyric sparrow]

Maybe blackberries if you enjoy it. But who has the time at that point? LOL

[leaden stratus]

yeah

forging a weapons to max (3 times) gives 4 levels

but adding an enchantment doesn't give any

[woven tusk]

At the first fall, it's still probably worthwhile
In co-op, possibly during the second spring as well (if the other players are handling the Desert Fest)

[lyric sparrow]

Let me knock this creature back to where I can't hit it again.
My pet peeve with the same enchantment on swords in Minecraft: "Let me knock this skeleton back where I can't reach it, but where it can still shoot at ME."
Why I never want that type of enchantment on melee weapons.
Now on the BOW, on the other hand ...

[lyric sparrow]

Yep. Berry picking is still very much worthwhile in year 1. Even salmonberries, for the food value. But beyond that, of course not. Unless you're really slow-playing it.
And even I don't take that leisurely a pace.

[woven tusk]

It's not hard to make pancakes to get from 10 to 12

[leaden stratus]

and you don't have to upgrade your house if you're broke

[woven tusk]

(It's actually plausible to learn the Pancake recipe early enough to use the cookout kit for it and get more Salmonberries in Year 1)

[leaden stratus]

you need to get eggs early though

[woven tusk]

Meadowlands Hours

[leaden stratus]

finally something that meadowlands is better at

[tough remnant]

Meadowlands might be optimal for Minimum Earnings?

[lyric sparrow]

More than plausible. The recipe is only 100g from Gus.

[leaden stratus]

and foraging 3 by the salmon berry season is pretty easy

[tough remnant]

Huh, for minimum earnings on Meadowlands, it's actually optimal to buy a Mill

[lyric sparrow]

I always buy one anyway. I like the look.

I'll have it sitting around unused for years and years just because I think it's pretty.

[tough remnant]

Yeah, I'm trying to figure out how much money Beach farm saves with its supply crates

Looks like Beach Farm saves 1500g from supply crates, since you only need to purchase 5 rice to get all the necessary cooling ingredients

[lyric sparrow]

To hell with that. If I want Minimum Earnings I just look at my paycheck stub. 🤣

I can't be rich in life, I damn sure want to be so in game.

[tough remnant]

Hmm... Meadowlands is only optimal if you ban travelling cart lol

[lyric sparrow]

You can do that?

[tough remnant]

I mean if you did a Minimum Earnings + No Travelling Cart run

[lyric sparrow]

Oh, I thought ban meant a setting to remove it from the game. Should have realized. Duh.

[tough remnant]

Actually no, even then, beach is still better because racoons OP

Forgot the racoons can get you all animal produce for free

Only thing you should buy from Travelling Cart in Minimum Earnings is Rarecrow #4, because it's cheaper than buying it at the Festival of Ice

[woven tusk]

That can happen on any map

It's just there to make the world a little more interesting

[wet cedar]

Yeah when I first saw the possum on 1.6, I thought it had to do with the new raccoon stuff lol

[trim plinth]

Sometimes fleeing creatures will enter a berry bush or a tree with forageable items, and make it fall.
Not sure if your forage skills get applied, it happens so rarely.

then cheat

i was wondering if anyone knew if its possible to get them without doing that, thats why i asked

[trim plinth]

I understand. YT creators often use things that do not exist as thumbnails or in their edited saves to make it more appealing. They also give tips that make close to no sense. Not always, not all of them, but still.

Dehydrated pineapples are actually really good since I'm always using keg and jar space for starfruit and ancient fruit

[wet cedar]

gotta add your carrot fed horse

[woven tusk]

Dehydrators are amazing for when you produce too much stuff, ye. Though have I yet shown you that garden pot shed layout I was planning to use for pineapples?

[wet cedar]

I dont think I've seen it

But I have pineapples on ginger island. Whenever I unlock GI, I just put down sprinklers and plant pineapples seeds whenever I get them

I don't care to optimize GI but this works well enough

[wet cedar]

Everyone post your inventory tool layout

im having such a hard time finding a good junimo hut placement on the meadowlands farm

I'm just now realizing there is no 17x17 space

[rose knoll]

Well - that was a very profitable desert festival - 2x autograbber and an autopetter

[trim plinth]

1st error : playing on meadowlands
2nd error: using junimo

[trim plinth]

I wish there was a way to recycle both of them. When I get my first two autograbbers and autopetters I am happy, then the next ones go to trash.

Meanwhile additional crystalariums/seedmakers are always nice

It's like the 3rd run in a row where I get iridium scythe before golden scythe. I am not even aiming for it, it just happens. Please help the golden scythe remaining relevant.

[rose knoll]

I don't think there is a way to make the gold scythe relevant unless you make the quarry faster to unlock

If you try hard you'll hit mastery 1 or 2 before you get the quarry

[trim plinth]

I dont feel I tried that hard. It's just that if you dont try to optimize to get mastery asap, you waste a lot of xp for nothing.

Quarry bundle always requires winter foraging items while I get mastery during fall.

if iridium scythe required to upgrade the golden scythe with a crafting recipe that could fix it. Not very fun but at least the item would not be a waste of space.

[lyric sparrow]

I saw it last night. I checked my farm buildings for a mangy intruder, but didn't find it. Now if I could have the same luck keeping them out of my IRL shed and garage. 🤣

[lyric sparrow]

Farming and general everyday use on the right, mining and combat on the left. Junimo chests at the entrance to the Mines, SC, the Volcano and Secret woods, to swap out before entering.

Also ones in my mainland home and on the island.

[wet cedar]

I've never bought a junimo chest

[lyric sparrow]

It's not the first item I get (that would be the Horse Flute), but I've found they come in handy for me with these loadouts.

the quests and rewards also start pulling from a randomised list after 5 quests (which is before his family stops growing)

two of the random rewards are the same or similar to the scripted ones (from the first 5)

for anyone that’s still playing on 1.5, what are yall doing in your saves to prepare for the new update? (assuming you’re gonna continue an existing save, and not start a new one)

personally i’m filling fish ponds w the fish that produce the new jellies (flounder, midnight carp, lava eel) & im gonna plant a ton of trees so i can chop them down for some quick xp to get a head start on mastery

[alpine mountain]

For the willy quest at the desert festival, he wants me to find his rare gold bobber. Do I just have to fish until I get it?

[turbid tartan]

https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Golden_Bobber idk if you want to be told outright so here’s the wiki page for it!

[tough remnant]

Yup

[woven tusk]

...That bobber can't be solid gold or it wouldn't float

[regal ivy]

Using Grandpas statue of perfection dupe glitch

[rose knoll]

If you're planning to go hard on immediate mastery, you'll want a massive field of high-exp crops ready right before you update

That's going to be the biggest immediate chunk of exp, followed by mine gems and mahogany trees

[alpine mountain]

Oop, I could've looked at the wiki you're right whoops

[lyric sparrow]

I just figured it was best to start a new save for 1.6

My two year-14s are done, really.

[rose knoll]

Personally, I'd agree, if only because prize tickets and such feel more impactful

[lyric sparrow]

Exactly. The early game stuff would, in year 14, be a letdown and most likely ruin the experience for me.

A fresh start with a new type of farm I'd not played on before (Riverlands) was just what the doctor ordered.

After how badly I'd burnt myself out in my Billionaire run.

[wet cedar]

Maybe the water in stardew valley is really dense

[vestal shard]

Please tell me 1.6 reduces the amount of items you lose upon death

[woven tusk]

It does not

[vestal shard]

Ffs

[woven tusk]

Best it does is have an unlockable discount for the one you choose to retrieve via Marlon's recovery service

[vestal shard]

Welp
at least i can get my 50 omni geodes back for cheaper, the 7 diamonds, 25 iridium ore and 30 mega bombs are still gone

[woven tusk]

I feel like the mega bombs are the most actually valuable among those

I wouldn't even blink at losing those quantities of the other items

[vestal shard]

quite a lot for me ngl

[woven tusk]

Not really

25 mega bombs are worth waaaay more

[vestal shard]

i dont think you can say „not really“ when you have no idea how many of any items i have or need

[woven tusk]

Because I get way more than 25 iridium with 30 mega bombs

Usually approaching or breaching triple digits worth

[vestal shard]

except that has nothing to do with what I said

[woven tusk]

Diamonds are not that important, I'd honestly rather have 7 Jades than Diamonds

You're attached to the wrong items

[vestal shard]

Okay, whatever, ignore what i say 🤷

[woven tusk]

Why are you choosing the geodes anyway

Also

The limit to lost items is three.

[vestal shard]

1. that was an example, i dont bother getting stuff back
2. desert trader

No, it‘s quite literally not

[vestal shard]

which wiki is that?

[woven tusk]

Oh wait I bamboozled myself

Your question was correct after all

[vestal shard]

ah
Funny
and that means it does decrease the amount of items, which i quite like

[woven tusk]

So yeah, 1.6 does reduce the lost item limit

[turbid tartan]

you’re all good dw, just trying to help!

[turbid tartan]

i’m not but that would be great advice for someone that was :) & i did actually say i plan on making a big tree farm :)

[wet cedar]

If you don’t mind this, just do what I do and reset the day if you die lol

[wet cedar]

Yeah but different people are done have different values for things depending on their situation

[woven tusk]

I mean if they're getting 50 Omnis per trip (cut short due to dying), they'll have the hats pretty quickly anyway

Seven trips per hat

Fewer trips, if they manage more Omnis on a trip where they survive all the way theough

[lyric sparrow]

I agree.

[wet cedar]

Getting mahogany seeds is so slow

I need 70 for my little mushroom log/mystic tree set up

I get around 2-3 from the secret woods every day

[trim plinth]

Mahogany farm y1

[wet cedar]

I did have that but I guess I got unlucky with drops

[trim plinth]

On the day right before first green rain, you plant mahogany trees, boom mahogany farm. You shake them every day and yo uhave mahogany seeds

[wet cedar]

Yeah I did

Well not the shaking part

[trim plinth]

GI has some too

[wet cedar]

I’ve planted and replanted a ton in the desert but I guess I got unlucky with getting seeds back

[wet cedar]

True

The raccoons have a trade for it but it’s pretty expensive at 20 coal for 1 seed

[trim plinth]

If you use the iridium scythe on foraging seeds, you do not proc the gatherer perk, while if you do it by hands it does.

[wet cedar]

What do you mean?

I don’t plant the forage seeds

[trim plinth]

Gatherer

Chance for double harvest of foraged items

No it was a general thought, not related to your issue

[wet cedar]

Ah okay lol

[wet cedar]

That’s interesting because botanist does work with iridium scythe

I planted some winter forage and every one of them I gathered with the scythe was still iridium quality

[trim plinth]

Yes. I imagine the perk trigger is not in the same spot in the code

[wet cedar]

I guess botanist would be similar to farmer level bonuses since crops collected by junimos are still affected by your farming level

And gather is specifically tied to the action of picking up

[woven tusk]

I got a small excess of mahogany seeds by accident in my game...
I budgeted hardwood for Willy's boat but forgot to account for the raccoon house needing hardwood too, so I was well short of what I needed. So I planted the Mahogany seeds I already had, and fertilized them. As they grew in, I chopped them, supplemented with daily visits to the secret woods of course.

I ended up having enough hardwood before running out of mahogany trees, so I let the rest live. They started propagating seeds around themselves, and it was Winter, so the seeds didn't sprout. I could easily collect them with my hoe!

[trim plinth]

Yes it is ok as is. Seeing the iridium scythe not being perfectly perfect is odd to me. That foraging path gatherer/botanist is already very OP compared to the other to me, so it is fine.

[woven tusk]

I should try something like that again, for Mystic Seeds.

Rather, with mahoganies to make more seeds to craft into Mystics

Since I don't think Mystics themselves can propagate

[trim plinth]

If you setup a few mahogany trees in a column, separate them with some tile, the falling seeds should be quite visible

[woven tusk]

Ye, there's a lot of room on my farm (Beach is huge) so I just gotta pick out a good spot

[rose knoll]

If you really need more mahogany seeds, make sure you mug the slimes every day, especially with the burglar ring

[woven tusk]

What's the droprate in there, actually

[rose knoll]

Also, thank you golden treasure chest - The fish was nice enough to stop being volatile just long enough to catch the chest, and it had 6 copper ore, ha

[trim plinth]

Going to the secrets woods remains boring to me. I avoid it as much as possible

[rose knoll]

Yep - I only ever go in for the pond, the stardrop, and the initial mahogany seeds

[wet cedar]

Does monster musk work in the secret woods?

Also, do the slimes respawn if I exit and reenter?

[woven tusk]

Wiki says 10% per slime for a mahogany seed. Hmm...

[trim plinth]

No. Not sure if monster musk applies. I would say no

[woven tusk]

Apparently the Burglar Ring code is a tangled spaghetti mess that doesn't actually double monster drop rolls but sort of attempts to pretend it does. So I wonder whether it does or does not apply to the Mahogany Seeds

[rose knoll]

That might explain why I seem to get stupid amounts of rewards from it

I've gotten 8 batwings way too often with burglar + the compendium

[wet cedar]

So reentering also doesn’t respawn them?

[trim plinth]

no it does not

[woven tusk]

I think the mine and SC are the only places that do it, since the room in question effectively ceases to exist when you leave

The volcano persists within a day, too

[wet cedar]

I’m pretty sure the quarry mines works with monster musk

I went there with it and got a lot more skull spawns

[woven tusk]

Hm, maybe monster musk works with spontaneous spawns, which I think skulls can do

Which may mean it could also work on the farm if night monsters are toggled on

Maybe I should go into the quarry myself with Musk so I can get Cursed Mannequins to do that stupid idea I had

Build an empty farmhand cabin and just populate it with cursed mannequins.

And then just leave it for my own amusement (no intention of playing multiplayer on that farm)

Forgot to follow up on this yesterday. Here it is

The kegs can be replaced with jars or dehydrators or even more garden pots

This just allows the keg/jar/etc to "piggyback" on the increased density made possible by the iridium scythe

[wet cedar]

Nah this is still cursed 😭

God did not intend for this. It’s unnatural

Does the +1 ore perk from the mining statue apply to calico egg nodes?

[woven tusk]

I believe so

[wise rover]

uhhhh if my inventory was full and i opened the chest with the dark talisman, did i break my game and lose the talisman? and have to restart the day?

[trim plinth]

dark talisman does not use a regular inventory spot

oh okay cool

Love when the Simon says ends up giving up on me and removes a step of completion

[woven tusk]

Simon would say but he's been stunned speechless

[trim plinth]

I went on GI for a volcano run but forgot my water can. I am pretty good at this mistake. I ended planting 70+ seeds, while I am at it, let's do that Simon says thingy that I suck so much at. I tried recording it with my phone. Turns out pausing does not work. I spent the entire day failing. Simon got bored of my pathetic skill and went like get out of here.

[stone turret]

Yeah so...how are you gonna plant your seeds?

[trim plinth]

you use multi harvest crops

like pineapple

[stone turret]

I meant planting not harvesting.

[trim plinth]

you plant the one in the center, then setup more rows

[woven tusk]

Plant them as you place the pots

Place northmost row of pots, add DRS and seeds
Then place second-northernmost row of pots, add DRS and seeds

Never have to replant if it's pineapples, so yeah. Plant once while setting it up and it's ready to roll for eternity

[steep nest]

ancient fruit cant go into pots can it

[trim plinth]

no it says something about their roots

[woven tusk]

Yeah, we'd just use those instead if we could. Pineapples were practically implemented to be the "we have food at home" for Ancients

Here, this is how it's done

[steep nest]

why not use hops?

[woven tusk]

Hops are technically better but will drive a man mad

[steep nest]

ik youd need alot more kegs for it

oh ok fair enough

[woven tusk]

If we could get the Junimos to collect them, they'd be awesome. Their limitation is that we can't deploy Junimos to the best places to grow them (indoors, greenhouse, Ginger Island)

[steep nest]

lazy ass junimos smh /j

hops regrow every day right

[woven tusk]

They do, and that's the whole Thing about this yeah

Last time we saw Junimos indoors (the Community Center), we had to be the ones gathering stuff for them. Maybe there's this weird Junimo law about how that works indoors vs outdoors

Like, that's an actual-factual Junimo Hut in there

Hilltop farm does look interesting, I think

[woven tusk]

@tulip tartan When you reach Lv10 in all skills, you can enter a new room in Cindersap Forest, near the Spring Onion area. (A tree is obscuring the door unless you cut it down.)
This is the Mastery Room. Fill the Mastery meter with EXP of any type, and once it's full, you get a Mastery point to spend on "buying" another set of perks from one of the five skillsets. You can get all five Masteries, though the EXP requirements escalate with each point you earn.
The Foraging one has craftable Mystic Seeds; these grow into Mystic Trees, which can be tapped for Mystic Syrup. This syrup has a number of useful properties (sells well, can be drank for full health recovery), but can be crafted into Treasure Totems. These "summon" a ring of worm spots in the bare soil around you. (Maybe don't try this in winter, or they'll be mostly just winter roots and snow yams.)

[tulip tartan]

ah, I know what door you are talking about, i've found it,a nd cant get into it as i havent mastered the 5 ways yet

good to know for when I do.

[woven tusk]

I would generally not recommend Foraging as the first Mastery you unlock, but... yeah, this is the backup way to help get treasures you're missing

[candid sequoia]

i gotta go farming first simply because the iridium scythe is that good

[lyric sparrow]

Yep. Mining for me was second. Heavy furnaces are so cool.

Foraging was third. Still have yet to make those trees.

[candid sequoia]

i kinda wing it after farming tbh

really depends what i need at that moment

[lyric sparrow]

I've got the island ready to go; boat's repaired. I still haven't been there. Mid-Winter, year 2, still working on the main farm and the occasional SC run for resources.

[candid sequoia]

i usually go combat last because trinkets are mostly just icing

[rose knoll]

I can't remember - I know they patched out storm-chains, but can the rain totem trigger a storm naturally, or will it only ever be rain?

[lyric sparrow]

Only rain.

I only experienced chaining storms once. By the fifth consecutive storm day, Haley was so pissed off she wouldn't get out of bed. 🤣

[woven tusk]

That's a lotta batteries

[rose knoll]

Aww - I desperately need a million more batteries to expand my sprinkler army

[chilly bloom]

I spent forever in sc for a recent mobile mining run and chained storms from the 13th to the 27th

Got a whole hoard of batteries

[lyric sparrow]

I used a lot.

I can't wait to see how solar panels work in the desert, now that it has it's own weather and no rain to worry about.

I had solar panels in the desert in my last save, but they were always at the mercy of the farm's rain.

Which seemed really stupid, so I'm glad that was changed.

[chilly bloom]

Seemed stupid, but I don’t really like how now you’re basically forced to place them in the desert

Does create a unique dynamic though, it’s a less extreme cask

[tough remnant]

I think that really is the way to go, farming is ridiculously useful just for the time savings and statue, everything else is so situational

[rose knoll]

Farming then Fishing or Mining depending on your taste (The mining buffs are nice), foraging, then combat is my go to now - I accidentally picked up combat early and that's been suffering

[limpid crow]

Yes

[leaden stratus]

Imo mastery order doesn't really matter if you can get exp very fast which you can from multiple sources

[rose knoll]

That's fair, though there's definite preferences in terms of minmaxing exp and rewards though - the scythe being a massive one at letting you scale up farming, and golden animal crackers

[leaden stratus]

I usually go mining first because I unlock mastery levels very fast and I'm able to get second mastery in at most few days

My second mastery is usually farming

[rose knoll]

Yeah - the first two are basically freebies

The last one can drag if you aren't scaling well enough though

I need to check whether gem exp is doubled with the bonus gems

[leaden stratus]

It actually reduces

Just like geologist

[rose knoll]

That seems counter productive

Or maybe I'm misunderstanding

[leaden stratus]

Mining mastery reduces exp from gems because you double harvest all the time

But it's still worth it because sc runs get a ton of exp

And most of exp comes from iridium nodes

[violet zephyr]

Im kinda bored in fall waiting for next season basically, any suggestions what to do with my time?

Hi! Lea! Bye!

[steel schooner]

I'm so excited to get the update on my tablet! I've been playing sd on my PC but i can take it on the go!

[lunar adder]

[crimson scarab]

Hi guys.

I'm a moblie player and I use to play stardew 1.5 when it first released on moblie and after about 20 - 30 hours of playing I stopped playing cuz I was busy with irl matters and then never continued. But ever since I've heard about 1.6 released on moblie I want to start a new farm again and can't seem to wait for the release.

I'll be playing on the standard farm and continued my leisurely playstyle.

My question for you guys is this:

1️⃣: should I just start a new farm now and start playing and then when 1.6 finally releases just upgrade the game and experience the new things.

Or

2️⃣: wait for 2 weeks and then start the farm when 1.6 has been released.

Are there any new game changing mechanics I should put into consideration and are there any new early game features which I will miss out on (except meadowlands) if my farm isn't started in 1.6.

Do share your opinion and help a brother out.

[lean grail]

Hold off for 1.6.

It’s best experienced from the beginning.

[crimson scarab]

Any particular reason (feature) why ?

[hard plinth]

Depends how fast you play between now and then, but you could miss a fair bit of content.

[lean grail]

1.6 makes changes to NPC dialogue you’ll miss otherwise.

[hard plinth]

Also, some new crops that are really nice for the first year

[crimson scarab]

Probably about 30 min to 2 hours depending on how free I'm each day, so ranging from 5.5 hrs (24 in-game days) to 22 hrs (95 in-game days)

[hard plinth]

definitely recommend waiting then

[median pawn]

does the statue from mine mastery stack?

[trim plinth]

no

[median pawn]

so its not good to craft another one?

[trim plinth]

I still do it for GI, so I can have my buffs when I am in full volcano run try hard mode when farming stuff.

[median pawn]

i dont have volcano i look for more geode and ore

[rose knoll]

I'm so glad to run into others who've played it - love the game

[leaden stratus]

it's one of my favourite games ever

to the point I decided to get true platinum in all arenas lmao

[rose knoll]

Yeah - I bought it right after it released and it's just so solid - Little bit of perspective weirdness, but it's so fluid.

[leaden stratus]

thankfully you can get used to the perspective

[unborn quartz]

Tried and dropped it thrice before understanding why I couldn't play this game that was theoretically perfect for me: I HATE the interface
Like, the game is awesome, the concept is awesome, all mechanics and characters so far are awesome, but I just can't the interface

[leaden stratus]

the interface is specific but personally I find it easy to understand and use

but I can kinda see why some people may not like it

[lyric sparrow]

The GUI or the controls?

[unborn quartz]

GUI specifically, like all the menus and all that

[solar gorge]

Got it even before Grandpa evaluated my farm]

[woven tusk]

Sometimes people ask "Do I get anything special for getting all five Masteries?"
And I gleefully tell them "yeah, you get ||a pat on the shoulder.||"

[indigo breach]

do i need to do anything special to get ocean jelly, I havent got one yet but plenty of the other 2

[trim plinth]

It is also possible to achieve similar rates however on Ginger Island South, or on the Beach during Summer, although Seaweed instead of Snake Skulls will be the alternative drop.

However, unlike when catching regular fish or other items, the random value used to determine whether a Sea Jelly is successfully caught is predetermined. This value only changes when catching a Cave, River, or Sea Jelly, or any Fish. It is not changed by catching Seaweed, Trash, or any other catchable items. Because of this, after catching Trash using the Training Rod, it is necessary to catch a regular fish before another Sea Jelly. This can easily be done by switching to any Fishing Pole other than the Training Rod, continuing to fish until an actual fish is caught, and then switching back to the Training Rod.

Ordinarily, 10% of possible random values result in a successful Sea Jelly catch. Each level of Luck Buff increases the chance of a successful catch by 5%. So with +8 Luck, 50% of random values will result in a successful catch. This allows for longer streaks without failing a Sea Jelly catch, although the player will still unavoidably catch some Snake Skulls or Seaweed, depending on the area chosen. ```

[indigo breach]

thanks but thats more late game than me, I spent all day fishing on the beach and didnt get a single one

[trim plinth]

Read everything. Training rod should help

[indigo breach]

yeah I'll try that, do you know if its better to cast into shallow water or no difference?

[trim plinth]

the closer you cast, the more cast you can do since time keeps on going during a cast

[indigo breach]

Gotcha, thanks 🙂

[hushed hare]

speaking of Jelly, you know what should be a valid location to catch cave jelly? the pirate cove

[signal path]

Real

[indigo breach]

Got 20 seaweed, 20 trash items and no jelly 😦

[signal path]

Sad bro

[indigo breach]

I bet its elliots fault

[sacred river]

Now get true perfection before grandpa evaluates your farm

[chilly bloom]

Easier fish inhabit the close to shore areas too though, you’ll have more high difficulty fish farther from shore

[woven tusk]

Context was training rod in places where there are no valid fish for it to hook

May as well just drop the bobber at minimum distance, I suppose

[trim plinth]

You can also get sea jelly from flounders fish pond. They require sea jelly to reach the level where they give some though

[trim plinth]

There is no karmic rng where the game remembers what you had before and adapts the dice throws to make the chances fair/balanced for the next throws. Rng is a beach.

[indigo breach]

I will get my jelly one day 🫡

[chilly bloom]

Yeah but that’s when considering the optimal location, they don’t yet have access to

So if they do have to workaround a subpar location like the beach in non summer then they’re better off reducing their chance for the easy fish

[woven tusk]

Alright, but I'm not sure that's how that works either

I thought it was just that low fishing zones applied a penalty to the chance for the better fish to bite, rather than actually affecting anything about the weaker fish

Weaker fish bite more often in comparison to better fish under those conditions, but because the latter is being nerfed rather than the former being buffed

[lyric sparrow]

Well, they finally made the Night Market worth my time. over 25k in smoked blobfish, and I haven't even started smoking the spookfish and both kinds of sea cucumbers. And I only went 2 out of 3 nights.
Saved one blobfish for a pond, of course.

Not great money, but not too bad for an evening out.

[chilly bloom]

I don’t think that’s entirely being taken out of the trash rates tho

Like with deep casts I’m basically never catching low value/easy fish in the ocean, at least it feels that way

[candid sequoia]

is low fishing zone better for jelly fishing?

[woven tusk]

Remember that one guy with the fishing simulator applet?

https://brokencygnus.github.io/stardew-fishing-calc/home

When I leave most stuff at default and set the fishing pole type to Training Rod, setting Fishing Zone to 0 gives a better chance at sea jelly than Fishing Zone 1 or higher

[chilly bloom]

Oh cool, is that the case with the same set of parameters the person who was asking had?

[normal lagoon]

eugh, deja vu

[woven tusk]

Don't know. When I fool around with it at random, most of the results encourage short casts. First result that went the other way, was nighttime in the winter

[tough remnant]

Nah, that's actually just ocean water, it's completely open to the ocean, that's why you get super cucumbers and such

[tough remnant]

You probably missed the bit about how (non-cave) Jelly RNG is predetermined, and only gets updated after catching a jelly or fish

So if you catch trash, that means your Jelly RNG value is bad, and you need to go catch a fish to reset it

Then try again to see if it's good

So optimal jelly strategy for River and Sea jellies is basically "use training rod until you get trash, then regular rod until you get fish, repeat"

[lyric sparrow]

What do you need that much jelly for?

[tough remnant]

Making lots of fish smokers probably

[lyric sparrow]

Ah, okay.

[narrow crag]

Hello, if i entered the beta test. How do I get out of it? Do I? Or it's automatic?

[chilly bloom]

You can just exit by going to the proplerties like how you entered it and exiting out of it

No real point as the update is in ~10 days at this point

[toxic fiber]

proplerties

[narrow crag]

oh so if i don't do anything, its alright?

[chilly bloom]

Yeah

[narrow crag]

Ok thank you!

[dire yoke]

From the wiki. What are all those lightbulbs about?

[rose cove]

staircase easter egg

you need place it here

for a suprise

if I'm not wrong

ok so if should lead you to the mayor basement

[dire yoke]

Uhhh? Don't think so some of the lightbulbs are on solid furniture.

[rose cove]

those are just markings

they're not actually in-game symbols

[dire yoke]

One is on the divorce book.

Yea, but why are they where they are? Confused. None of the other interior images have that.

[rose cove]

atleast those on floor should work

especially one near the fireplace

[dire yoke]

I think it's anywhere in the Bedroom, but not in the kitchen. Not sure though.

[woven tusk]

Does the wiki have a discussion page for it? Might be good to ask about that

[finite horizon]

It's because someone screenshottrd tiled not the game really

The lights are....lights

Markers placed on the map to tell the light engine that light goes here

[woven tusk]

...Damn, I need those in my sheds

[finite horizon]

You too can make a mod for that!

[woven tusk]

So they're basically preplaced ceiling lights?

Might still be worth asking about it on the wiki, as those light markers aren't visible in-game

Seems that one player forgot they were there when they updated the photo for v1.6, and everyone else just sort of rolled with it

https://stardewvalleywiki.com/File:Mayor's_Manor_Interior.png#filehistory

You can see that a user named Softwareupdate posted the photo which someone else clipped the background off. Seems nobody thought to question the light markers

[nova flame]

does anyone understand what the "no longer able to steal a roommate in multiplayer" means for 1.6.9?

[hazy garden]

Maybe if you're on multiplayer it would change the dialogs depend on who speaks to the roomate. Like if you have Krobus your friend don't get the text you get from speaking to Krobus. Et least not the same

I think

[nova flame]

yeah but it explicitly says "steal" what were people doing to make CA patch that?

[thorn lance]

In multiplayer, if you have Krobus as roommate, other players still able to ask him as theirs

[hazy garden]

Oooooooh

[thorn lance]

Hence it’ll be fixed in 1.6.9

[hazy garden]

Thanks god

Krobus is mine

[nova flame]

Okay that makes sense now

does anyone know what the 1.6.9 update will consist of?

[leaden stratus]

now daggers are actually decent!

[tough remnant]

Mostly small stuff:
https://www.stardewvalley.net/stardew-valley-1-6-9-public-beta/

[brittle peak]

thanks!

[tough remnant]

The patch notes there are incomplete, there are some features that have been added to it since the notes were compiled, most notably ||legendary fish ponds||

We'll get complete patch notes when the update properly arrives

[brittle peak]

dang thats op

[tough remnant]

They're not as ridiculous as you might think

[opal terrace]

they don't grow so not really

[brittle peak]

oh i thought they would

[tough remnant]

They're still probably not actually good enough to justify the amount of space they take up on the farm in terms of income

[brittle peak]

would they produce roe?

and other op stuff?

[tough remnant]

They do produce very good roe

[opal terrace]

well yes, that's why you grow fish ponds

[tough remnant]

That's basically it

[opal terrace]

legend might be
aged legend roe is like 7K with artisan

drop in a golden cracker with that

might be good

[brittle peak]

have you played it before?

[tough remnant]

I messed around a little, then went back to working on my completionist farm which is stuck in 1.5 while I gather precious iridium seaweed for my perfect fish tanks

[tough remnant]

Eh, it's not very consistent though.

But IDK, things might change

Balance changes are still entirely possible during the beta cycle

[brittle peak]

is iridium seweed good for tanks?

[tough remnant]

So far as it means I can have more iridium quality items to show off in my fish tanks, yes

[brittle peak]

ah

[lean grail]

||Extended family||?

[brittle peak]

oooo that would be sweet

[tough remnant]

Yeah, they work, but still are stuck at 1 pop

[lean grail]

Huh.

[safe vortex]

Are there any uses for Legendary Fish roe?

or are they mainly for collection

[opal terrace]

selling

[safe vortex]

Dang so they're pretty much useless unless I preserve them?

[opal terrace]

what do you expect, it's just roe

[safe vortex]

Right

Yeah sorry my brain just aint braining

[mint blaze]

[solar gorge]

With mining mastery is the gemologist profession better than blacksmith?

[dire yoke]

Gemologist with building lots of Crystalaria is best passive income/farm growth. Blacksmith is more immediate gold from trips to sell bars. Most money in a month (and lots of good gifts for Qi's Kindness) vs. most money now.

[wet cedar]

What’s the best floor to reset for radioactive ore?

[solar gorge]

Floor 1

[wet cedar]

I just save up my bars and gems and switch professions whenever I want to sell the respective type

It’s only 10k to swap so it’s worth it

[wet cedar]

[vital roost]

Whats recommended on doing the first master level

[woven tusk]

If you have a lot of crops, Farming.
If you don't have a lot of crops (maybe it's winter or something), maybe something else first

[woven tusk]

I thought you have to give up Miner to get Gemologist, which is a much bigger problem (Miner is more useful than either of the lv10 skills tbh)

[low drift]

How much does it cost to buy five iron ore from Clint?

[woven tusk]

Looks like 750G in Y1 or 1250G in Y2+

[low drift]

Pricey but options are limited at the moment. I miscounted the number of hardwood stumps on my farm. In order to complete the hardwood quest from Robin I gotta upgrade my axe.

[woven tusk]

Chair-hop into the secret woods?

I don't know how it's done, but I've heard about it

[toxic fiber]

Ooo, does it ||have any introduction or does it just appear there all of a sudden?||

[low drift]

Ooh, assuming they've not removed the exploit that could totally save my butt!

[toxic fiber]

Might as well try !!

[low drift]

I will a little later. Might have to buy the chair from Robin though.

[woven tusk]

Hm, yes, you are forced to buy something from the one who sent you on this quest to begin with
It is her diabolical plan

Her diabolical plan to pay you a large sum of cash if you... buy a chair from her, and possibly later also a bed

[low drift]

I promised her the wood, and I aim to deliver.

And possibly, blame somebody else if I can't.

[twilit briar]

just appear

[lyric sparrow]

I just picked Fishing as the fourth Mastery (with Combat being last). Is Dressed Spinner and Trap Bobber okay for tackle? I tried them for only a short while (after midnight) and they seemed okay. Or should I make something else?

[wet cedar]

Yeah that’s good

If you wanna try using challenge bait, use two cork bobbers

[chilly bloom]

Yeah that’s a decent combo, though unless you’re going for harder fish you probably won’t need a trap bobber

[low drift]

They removed the damn chair exploit! 🤬

I can put the chair in the right spot but it will not let me get off the chair on the other side of the effing log.

Just gonna start over.

[dire yoke]

Trap + Cork is best for the hardest fish, like Octopi and Qi's Extended Family.

[chilly bloom]

Honestly you can just do double trap

[mellow atlas]

Does spending 1.4 million w that parrot next to the volcano give u all the golden walnuts

It's still there in 1.6 - It's a little fussy but I'm able to do it

Neither doing anything useful

Hooray

[chilly bloom]

Average crop fairy experience

[lyric sparrow]

Thanks for the answers, guys. I'll keep those in mind. I only used what I had available in my fishing chest.

And sonar bobber just seems useless. If you've been doing this for long enough, you can already usually tell what fish you've got on the line by how it acts.

[chilly bloom]

Yep. And it’s generally useless in the fact that you only save fractions of irl time and waste in game time by quitting out of the minigame if you don’t get the fish you want

[rose knoll]

I mostly just slap it on if I have a spare spot

But don't go out of my way otherwise

[azure plover]

anything known about 1.6.9?

[chilly bloom]

There’s a public beta and patch notes

According to CA it’s releasing to all platforms at the same time too

[azure plover]

where can i read the patch notes from?

i am sad that we will not have fish pond glitch anymore

[opal terrace]

The patch notes are a bit incomplete and things may change between beta and release but it's mostly quality of life changes,balancing and bug fixing

https://www.stardewvalley.net/stardew-valley-1-6-9-public-beta/

sammy and shane getting new portraits? nicee

can you tap the mossy tree

wild tree, whatever its called

I don’t think you’d get anything special but I don’t see why you couldn’t

Ive never tried it tho

[wind coyote]

You can tap the tree that looks like a fern.

[rose cove]

can you only adopt pets if you didnt get one immediately?

[blazing echo]

u can adopt more pets when ur current pet is at max hearts

idk how it works when u said no to the pet but im pretty sure you're still able to adopt

[rose cove]

thank u so much!

[vital roost]

What should I get as my 2nd mastery thingie, got farming as my first

[opal terrace]

hmmm
I'd say combat and mining are good second options, well, as long as you do a decent amount of mining

[vital roost]

I went with combat

[opal terrace]

some of the trinkets can be really good

golden spur, parrot egg

[vital roost]

Ill have to figure out first how and where I get them

[opal terrace]

best bet would be in skull cavern

[vital roost]

okay, will ahve to go do that in a few days

[leaden stratus]

Parrot egg is likely gonna become one of my favorite trinkets soon enough

[woven tusk]

Trinket drop rate is tied to enemy max HP. Beefier enemies have better drop rates, with a special penalty applied to the spiders in the mine on Dangerous Mode since they tend to swarm you.
Dangerous SC or the Volcano Dungeon are good choices for trying to get trinkets.

Slimes tend to be tanky, so slime infestations may actually be helpful

[jolly rivet]

bro all my mushroom logs made morels

apart from a single common mushroom

[opal terrace]

the type of tree next to it influences the kind of mushroom it produces

if the mushroom logs are placed next to oak trees you will get morels

[jolly rivet]

oh

what should i put them next to for the most profit then

[opal terrace]

mystic trees

for purple mushrooms

[rigid breach]

wait WHAT-

omg

damnb,,,

imma have to redo my tree farm layout

this is so sad

[hushed hare]

also, mossy trees increase the quality of mushrooms, and mystic trees can't grow moss, so a mix of regular + mystic would be best
