It's just a basic loved gift, not even a good quality one, but it's universal so it's a last ditch effort when a birthday has arrived
my favourite sidekick was rose for sure
oh def Love rose
donna IS A CLOSE SECOND
oh word LOL thanks!!
yea i end up just keeping the golden pumpkin in a chest forever
because its pretty annnoying to replace and you only get a few of them in a save
Can you get a pumpkin hat because I've got a Minecraft skin which is a little pumpkin dude in a suit and that'd be cool to have with friends
I don't know about bringing him back. This seems like a desperate effort to revive the series after that no-talent hack Chris Chibnall flushed the series down the toilet.
I agree they should let his doctor and his character rest
I mean, repeating a Doctor just goes against everything in the canon.
How many big boob would be good for sc
what
uh you mean bombs?
That feels kinda backwards to have a witches hat be made out of a jack o lantern, and a jack-o-lantern hat from a regular pumpkin
and also you gotta spoiler tag that
what?..
WOW YE BOMB
OH lmao

witches hat from a goldem pumpkin
damn
I'd suggest bringing regular bombs
Ah I forgor
a lot of the time the big bombs tend to be overkill
Wtf
love a good staircase and reg bomb combo
hi real
I'd bring like 20 bombs and 5 mega bombs cause why not
I have like 16 red bomb here
Maybe more for a long trip attempt
And 18 black bomb
π€£ They usually only come in pairs, but knock yourself out.
Save those for Vincent
Holy
Lmao I didn't mean that
Vincent ?
Good thing pin grenades weren't invented in Stardew's world yet, or else ||Kent's letters|| would probably be a HUGE crime if it wasn't already
Explosive ammo...
i feel so bad for kent )=
How many stair case would be good?
i always just bring as many as possible
I can get 29 here
Better than 0 I guess
5 is a good starting point
π
29 is too much?
not really
Never too much
WHY EVERYBODY SEE IT STOP
there is never too much unless ur bringing more than a full stack
bringing more than like 4 stacks
u can always edit it or delete it if u would like 
Just be faster smh
what
pickle be bringing 30 stacks of staircases to || sc || 
so true
Well too busy I'm preparing to go deep
he doesnt bomb or mine he just staircases
gotta get that full inventory of staircases smh
Okay. Well, in case you meant "how many bombs", you should take this many:
Placing them at a very humanely possible speed
u must bring 35964 staircases
ok but arnt u a cat
why not catly possible speed
real
True
don't even bring tools
Make sure to use your pants pocket for extra staircase storage
just stairs
my goal is to get to 1 million with the elevator mod
Lmao pickaxe and sword would be good tho
Gotta have the many millions of stairs per second to get to the bottom
chonker about to pull out the 300 per tick buffering
π
who does really
staircase until u pass out
don't even collect materials just keep staircasing
gonna make a program to automatically place stairs
and leave it overnight
with time frozen as a test
fr
Who is pickle
what
cat
And you friends will be asking you "How did you blow up your computer?" π
frfr
@distant sphinx
im kent
playing modded on my mac is a game of which one will be the one to break my computer
omg ur cursed with a macbook
π

im out here with stardew being modded, sims modded and minecraft modded
genuinely don't know how my mac has lived through any of this
Running purely off of hopes and dreams
The optimization mods are spiderman from that one scene where he holds something together... several times
by by eating dinner
π
ok i understand ur pain because i had a laptop with 2 gb of ram
it could not run youtube with discord on in the background
Lol thats pretty much my mc setup
Yikes. 2gb of ram won't even run Win 10.
4gb can barely run anything.
i had 4gb for a while it ran things fine
no bc my macbook is out here running fine
i remember it saying it could not even update to windows 11 because it didnt meet the requirements
upgraded to 16gb after a few months tho
π
I'm in that boat now.
like the time it took 30 minutes to get to the main menu of TERRARIA
bless
unfortunately the new laptop i bought CAME WITH WINDOWS 11 ALREADY IN
i dont like the look of win11. sticking to 10 
That's not a potato that's still a seed
Every generation of OS seems to take more control away from you.
Is that a hampter 
no its a tissue that looks like a hamster
im doubting
fish ponds arent that great but
they do some things sometimes
i cant talk about it here
spoiler rules
Incredible explanation
thank u pickle
Ik some give items
You're not going to get rich with fish ponds. But as long as you go into them with the goal of having fun and enjoying them, I think they are well worth it in that regard.
But are any like worth getting
i personally have a sea cucumber fish pond because i use them for crafting
I mean in terms of making items or anything like that
and a lava eel fish pond because i think it looks really cool
That just makes life easier
you can use them for infinite fish
Like anything for good recipes etc
Sea cucumber like vil said
where to plant trees en masse
people like to do railroads, || the desert and some do the quarry ||
Spa area, ||quarry, desert||
You can never go wrong with ingredients fish ponds. Sea cucumbers for Lucky lunches. Flounder, midnight carp, and midnight squid for making Lucky Lunches. Lobster for Lobster Bisque if you want a fishing buff food not quite as good as Seafoam Pudding, but one that will last all day.
As far as roes go, the most valuable roe is lava eel. Blobfish is second. Ice Pip and Sturgeon are tied for third. You'll need Sturgeon for the caviar for a couple of things.
And be aware that though blobfish is only the second-most valuable roe, it outproduces lava eel by about 40% to 60%, so it is actually a bit more profitable.
Anything their good for ||skull cavern||?
lucky lunch can be good
π
gold cheese
MORE SHEDS!! lol
i will
Awesome. Another shed aficionado. π
you can plant trees in the ||desert||?
sorry ping...
Yeah
my arent umm... growing
Your what?
is it winter
They take a while without tree fertilizer from what... level 7 foraging?
||Last I checked, the desert doesn't have Winter||
even in winter, trees cant grow there
without tree fertilizer
ahh... thought season didnt matter outside valley
i have yet to plant a tree
people in vcs automatically get moved there when they're inactive
like they fall asleep or something
It's beautiful
Winter
Try to catch chests and perfect catches, they increase the XP you get by a lot
i like using sheds as extra places to decorate
π
I know it's inefficient but still
that's so true
|| ugly like @upper pastures mama ||
LMAO
/j but not
Damn
When does the trader in the ||oasis|| trade staircases and the luck food
I have 80 sheds, all filled. I'm a lunatic. π€£
i just put down random ass paths and see where it takes me
#images-and-memes can someone tell me what I need more to go in '||SC||
S p o i l e r
staircases on sunday
to do spoilers you do || spoiler message here like yo mama ||
Ok lmao
I can't Marry 2 people at the same time?
What happen if like I got 10 heart with 2 different people
You can't marry either until you offer one the mermaid pendant
You can only offer one to one person when you're at 10 hearts.
Unless you have mods
Hello gamers
Poly mod
ohhhh
Yeah multiple 
Interesting, I had no idea.
Nothing mods can't fix
even some mods have mods that fix issues with them
Does anyone wanna start a co op?
it's probably easier to ask in #multiplayer-lfg-old
Whats the easiest way to get seaweed and green algae
fishing
π£
Red cabbage is slightly better, iirc.
I think red cabbage
Nooooooo I die in floor 63
with speed grow you can get another crop of cabbage and it has higher artisan values
But thatβs not taking into account the chances of giant melons
True
wish i had giant melons
I loot 2 iridium sprinkler in the ||sc|| someone have the pattern or it?
Okay I think red cabbage is better, the seeds do cost 100 and melons are 80 but it takes only 9 days to grow
!sprinklers
!sprinkler
Oh nice ty
You do get 3 harvest per season of cabbage if you plant it at the start while melon is two
so if you have the initial income and enough machines that can lead to more profit over time as you process the extra crop. Guaranteed but melon giant crops have more than 9 melons in them and has the survival factor, so yeah
Do you have the bus repaired
I have bus repaired
I am like year 4 on my save atm but going through lots of changes
I love the ||sc||
true, I do have a ton of starfruit seeds, just want to have some variety in my farm.
Is taking hole good or not?
it is
yes always take the hole
just mine the health loss from jumping into the abyss
Meh. That doesn't really matter when red cabbage has an extra harvest.
I agree
Ok,i totally love this mine I will do it every lucky day x)
Iβve never actually bothered planting red cabbage beyond the one for cc because I always do starfruit
yeah plus you want to perserve them both cause the kegs are better used to make starfruit/ ancient fruit and pale ale
I do prefer ancient fruit though since it is a regrow crop, I can just harvest indefinitely with no care for replanting
and it is still second best for wine
Whatβs the best crop
depends
Starfruit has the highest sell price and thus the highest artisan good values but it is only found in the desert shop and has to be replanted and only grows during summer
hops are second best for keg usage but they are more maintenance heavy since you need to check on them more
its not only found in the desert
Twitterfruit.
i started a field way before that
think i bought one from traveling merchant or somewhere and put it in the seed maker
i hate hops so much
not only are they on the posts so u can't walk through them but i have to check them like everyday
then don't use them if ya don't like that. I like them cause they are always something for me to do in the morning as I get my bearings on what to do for the day
that's fair enough
I just use a room in my house as well so no need to worry about the annoying things about it
When did the traveling Merchant come?
friday and sunday
Fridays and sundays
Okok thanks
Is there a rod or area that gives sea weed easier
just closer to the shore in the ocean
You don't own hops. They own YOU.
i tried the hops route and they just made me mad
I feel ya
25g standard selling price lmaoooo
π if I really need the money i just wait till fall and buy a ton of pumpkin seeds
trellis crops are annoying
Say should I restart the day if I don't get a snake vertebrae from an artifact spot?
It sometimes spawns as a forageable at the tidepools to the east of the beach.
Try not casting all the way out. Just cast down at your feet.
I feel like you could just go the next day
Oh maybe
plus it is like o.1% per tile for it to appear on the west beach and I need two cause ostriches are good.
iridium quality mayo be like
idk i've never had trouble finding them ngl
But it might be a good if ur gonnna reset to go in the morning to find them and have it be the first thing you do so that you don't lose too much time
yeah
thanks for the tip cause the spot will randomly give different stuff
got like 3 golden coconuts, 2 troves and some bones during a restart and well didn't get that before
Iβm just letting you guys know
Guys, this is #stardew-valley . If you want to talk about island stuff, go to #stardew-spoilers
you canβt talk about it here ^^
ah okay sorry about that then
Itβs ok, common mistake
I thought I was in seasoned for a while.
Uhh I would just go through the ice floors of the mines
Frozen levels of the mines are good. You can get bats while looking for dust sprites at the same time.
krobus sells it too
And if ya have danger then you can also get stick bugs so qi gems
3 resources for the price of one I presume
Yeah, Krobus sells 10 every Sunday.
Isn't it saturdays
wiki says sundays
can also get a seed from ||donating 15 items at the museum|| btw
Ah yeah was mistaken for something else
i buy em everytime hes got them
A good return since ya need them for a few things
wish he sold bones
I do need to expand my honeybee areas although I just open up some space so I don't know. Need more ponds for lava eels, blobfish and sturgeons and coops and barns for chickens and cows & pigs
and later something else
Frozen levels for skeletons, too. Bones, bat wings, coal, from skeletons, bats, and dust sprites.
I farm frozen levels the most.
can you do the honey bee areas in other areas around town if so what are some good ones?
you can but you cant plant flowers outside ur farm so the honey wont be worth much
oh yeah, cause it becomes wild honey
ye
should I make a wood farm as well got some seeds and tree fertilisers
got the desert to become my hard wood farm so when I go on sundays I just chop some trees and plant some seeds
u can
i dont think ill make an actual farm for wood, i just chop the tree down and leave some in areas so they drop more around them
How many kegs can you fit into the greenhouse you have 18 trees there?
you do need to clear the adults though since they prevent the little trees from maturing
ye i always do
ironically thanks to some wood management I found that my stone is too little, might have to make a few trips to the mine for the stone alone
but danger always makes it harder for stones and ore
im just gonna buy stone π had enough of the mines for a while. im sitting on 250k idk what to do with so might as well
stone is needed for all the buildings as well
quarry did show some use though since it can spawn a ton of stone got 214 from a single. trip there but takes a while for it to spawn
i dont bother mining the stone there, i just cut the trees and look for gems tbh
probably should just bomb it all
Are the skeletons in the regular mine? If so, what level are they on?
Oh great! Iβm at 65 now! Ty
she was one of my choices but i decided on leah
congrats!
but also kent just arrived
i bought a chicken but i dont have a silo and now i fear shes gonna die
im working on getting copper
it is too late for that
i have some hay
will she eat thT
and its not winter
So you donβt have to buy different feed for different animals? (I donβt have any yet)
i am a wee bit incompetent but im trying my best
all animals eat hay
As far as I can remember, you just feed them hay.
Iβm just like you! We good. Play at your own pace and also have fun.
Nice! Ty
dw they can never die
all animals eat hay dw
hay is also a universally hated gift
Excellent!
chickens, dinos, rabbits
That makes sense. π
did you donate your dinosaur egg?
yes
krobus loves void eggs so i always save the gold or iridium ones my one lays to gift em π
where do y'all get void chickens anyway?
yes
Mmmm gotcha
You can buy an egg from funny shadow man and incubate it
hi guys i have a question if my friend has stardew on xbox game pass and i have it on steam and were both on pc can we play a farm together online ?
Greenhouse, Mines, Fishing, planting winter foragables
ok thats a relief thank you so much
oh thank god
Still, you can make winter forage seeds so your sprinklers have some work
and quality eggs
that's why I collect all the grass on my farm before winter comes
on winter 28th by planting grass starter, you can get an absurd amount of grass
wait it can be?
im okay with that i will have the silo in like two days
it can???
how
i got one of the plushy things the apple looking thing i love it
it is cute
i have all skills maxed except fishing which is at 0 on my farm
That reminds me I need to get the purple krobus statue
π
having 0 fishing is crazy π
it's in the pins
how? Don't ya need fish for the bundle?
i assume they probs haven't done those bundles yet
traveling merchant can sell every fish u need i think
hi
she helped me with a lot of the fishing bundle
hm
nice
i think i've only ever bought a pufferfish from her but I probs would've bought more i just always forgot she existed
(in terms of fish i've bought other materials from her)
you can beat CC with no level ups
woah
Definitely π
you need 2 friends
Actually true
or 2 copies of SDV
How can I get good friendship while doing the cutscene with Sam and Sebastian when playing the game with them?
it doesn't affect friendship
Oh it doesnβt?
yeah it doesn't
You have to give them gifts to increase friendship
Oh ok
Oh you mean ||Krobus?||
Sweet, thanks
I do know it's in the thousands
I think I recall hearing a quote on "Living off the Land" that said "The weather channel is always right" or something... Until you use a ||rain totem|| that is
yes
Yall how do i get a maki roll without making one....
any tips for a good layout for my year 2 farm? lol
iβm definitely an artisan so like, need to take that into accountability lol
was accountability the right word? π€ idk anyway point stands
Look on #farms-and-outfits
oh true!! thank you!
You can ||put processing machines in places where NPC's don't go, IE the quarry and backwoods.||
If chickens get out will they eat crops
no, they will eat grass
So is it better to wear two iridium bands or one iridium band and lucky ring?
the mines is a good place to place furnaces as well once the mine carts are unlocked
then you can use the extra space to place kilns and wood chippers
Depends on what you're doing. One of each is good for mining. Double iridium is better for mob farming.
I just buy wood from Robin and coal from Clint. Time is a resource. Money is easy.
This is only for post-CC play, really. There's not a lot of wood in the regular mines.
buglar ring doesn't stack right?
Nope
ah shame
welp I might get an iridium ring with either soul or napalm ring then for mob farming so that I get some explosions
oh yeah those two are post cc aren't they well napalm isn't
Hey, I need some help. I just finished the Community Center and had Willyβs cut scene. I need 5 iridium bars to fix the boatβ¦ where can I get those? Whenever I look it up itβs almost all on the island Iβm trying to get access to. Iβve mined the Quarry out and havenβt found anything in the mines.
||skull cavern in the desert||
Spoilers, friend.
Spoilers.
But to get Iridium you main go to the ||skull cavern in the desert||
You can't discuss post CC content in new farmer
Yes
spoiler but yes
from grandpa's purple statue on year 3 and SC.
the one you are thinking of could be ||the quarry mine||
as in you get the statue on year 3
Iβm not in year 3 yet
Okay thank you.|| I saw that place listed when I googled. Assumed I didnβt have access yet. ||
you can also stockpile staircases by growing jade and trading it for staircases on sunday at the desert trader
Food, explosives, staircases. ||The Holy Trinity of SC runs.||
indeed
I have yet to use bombs yet. π«£
golden cheese is the best food to bring
I have 30 gold cheese
they are fun and really are game changers.
Iβvebeen hoarding the the ones Iβve found
good enough remember to get a speed and luck buff with food. Spicy eels and triple shot expresso (coffee but better)
It's faster to mine with bombs than with the pickaxe, but starting out you can use the pick if you can't afford a lot of bombs, and save the explosives for big clusters of ores.
you can also buy from the dwarf as well or just craft using ores and coal.
help i need a fast way to get seaweed
best ones are regular and mega bombs. Explosive ammo is good as well, fast
Fish in the ocean. Don't cast all the way out. Drop the line right at your feet.
ok thanksss
yeah seaweed is annoying to farm. better to stockpile over time
yah i know that now π
I havenβt found ||Dwarf Scroll II yet so I still canβt interact with him. ||
or that's unfortunate
Been so frustrating. Iβve had everything else except that for ages
try artifact troves then
Scrolls don't come from Troves
Artifacts trove?
Oh just checked and yeah
Scroll 2 is dropped by Frozen Floor monsters, or Tilling in the dirt in copper floors
is it just me or every time i want to fish i get NO bites but when i dont i catch like an entire invintory full??
the wiki says: Β The MinesΒ (floors 1-39, 0.1% chance), as a drop from aΒ Frost BatΒ (floors 40-79), as a drop from aΒ Dust SpriteΒ (floors 40-79)
also from blue slimes and ghosts
use burglar ring and monster musk then farm
I donβt have those two items π«£π₯΄
burglar is from slaying dust sprites which you should do for coal anyhow and monster musk is from higher enough combat
Like combat level?
(monster musk is a special order)
Ah okay
so from the big board next to lewi's house and it is a wizard quest
Heyo
Iβve not been able to complete any of the wizardβs ||requests on the big bulletin board ||
Anyone have any idea where the stone owl comes from
I think it is the rainbow slime which can be checked by doing to floor 21 I think
bro just spawned on my farm
Two things I always get well after the Dwarf scrolls.
Oh gosh that spawned on my farm yesterday when I was playing
Just a random event that can happen.
.8% chance per night I think?
Spooky
Henlo
Look on the bottom. It says "Made in Taiwan".
I also ||had a fairy show up the other night and now my crops are growing at different paces from the rest||
Anyone on psn?
yeah I tend to just ignore the fairy if it desyncs my crops.
the what
FAIRY
there's || FAIRIES??||
Yeah they're pretty good target practice
oop
nah they're random events that occur during the night
can't shoot em
but you can surely hit your pet
(I don't)
Not with that attitude
D:
you monster
Alright, I'm letting y'all choose this time. Who do I marry with my new save?
The real monster is the one who de-syncs my crops >:(
lol
marnie
Nobody
Roommates with krobus
Harvey
leah
That Pedro Pascal wannabe
UPDATE SC HURTS
Its the worst haha
Shafts are like Ladders, but better
The deeper you get, the more iridium on average spawns
Iβm glad Iβve been making all that food and potions and not using them. Got a stockpile
So the goal is to find Ladders and Shafts as quickly as possible for the first half of the day
also its the best way to get prismatic shards
No
π«£π₯΄
unless you have a mod
Nah, not gonna do a mod like that until I experience the pain first
Hello
I just got into mods a couple days ago. Mostly using recolor
The crop that comes out of it does sell for a lot, and you do eventually need at least 1 of the crop for something else.
Whether it's worth buying the seed or not really depends on what your current goals are though. Since it's just dead money until the end of Fall
So If you're still needing cash for stuff like Buildings, Tools, and Seeds, no.
But if you're getting a comfortable flow of money, and just waiting on Crops/Robin/Clint in the meantime and have enough, sure.
||THE MUMMIES COME BACK HELP||
Oh ok, thanks
kill mummies ||they give solar essence which is needed in mega bombs I think||
use bombs or explosive ammo
I'd buy one preferably before fall, because you'll find a use for it that isn't selling it. Hint : ||In the woods near the Wizard||
You might want to read the rules in the pins for things that need to be spoilered in this channel. You seem pretty experienced in the game, which is great, and welcome to the server. But not everybody is.
And it's no biggie; I've lost track of which channel I'm in on many occasions.
Just sayin', before a mod steps in.
So to sum it up, don't discuss about things unlocked by (But you can bring them up since they are shown as rewards), or things after the CC / Joja route.
It needs to be spoilered if you go into details.
You can mention them.
okay
Like I can say "greenhouse", but I'd have to spoiler it if ||I'm sharing greenhouse layouts or crop plans. ||
You're lucky. We used to have three channels with very different spoiler rules for two of them, and it caused no amount of headaches and conflict.
It was worse for the mods back then, I'm sure.
maybe
Yeah, one where you could talk about 1.5 content, and one where you couldn't. It was terrible.
That doesnβt sound good at all
I found it hard to follow because I've only ever played 1.5.
I'd throw out a spoiler without knowing it was a spoiler.
Wow that does surprise me
hi, sorry if i'm out of place, does anyone want to play a farm together? just for fun. not interested in modding or a lot of competitiveness, just being friendly lol
hi, #multiplayer-lfg-old is the place for that
also if i messed up and this is not where this post belongs please lmk. i'm sorry
Welcome! Glad to have you here.
i appreciate that!
itβs no problem really
Don't worry about that. Feel free to come back here if you have any questions. We are always happy to help and chat.
Hello
Hi
I played 1.4 due to being a mobile player and omg it was tbh a little annoying because Iβd be like man I am having hardwood problems and someone would be like just plant mahogany trees
hi to the both of you
How can I play Stardew valley
You have the game, I assume?
Yes
however ya want honestly, it is mostly a farming game with other stuff around it
Most people say "Check the wiki for things" I'd say only use it as a last resort
I do recommend starting fishing to get more income as well and to get fishing up to snag some good fish
How can I fish
Go with the flow, plant crops, start fishing in various places, go mining, etc
On Day 2 you get a fishing rod from Willy, a guy on the beach
Just start it up and play. Watch all of the opening cutscene and don't skip anything and it will tell you what you need to do.
For new players I advise you to watch the TV every morning before you leave the house. It will give you game tips and recipes.
on the second day, go to the beach (south of town) and talk to willy to get the fishing rod
I'm planting this potato seed because I sold all my parsnip seeds was that ok
Iβll just point out that the community centre is the main βstoryβ of the game and itβll teach you to play the game
Some players donβt realise this and go years without touching it
Pierre's closes on Wednesdays, you faint at 2 AM, that's all you need to know.
TV also tells the weather tomorrow and the day's luck. good luck means better chances at getting good stuff from mines and the like, bad luck means ya don't go to the mines unless ya really need something
Always look for a letter icon hovering over your mailbox to the right of your house. You get important letters there that can tell you what you need to do, and give you rewards.
Yeah, it is north of town. it is one of the main goals in town
The CC is basically a quest book for collecting various objects, like the first room you unlock is all about foraging and plants you get from different seasons
what -
You need to go to bed at your house before 2 AM, and keep an eye on your Energy (bottom right) because if it goes to 0 you move really slowly, and if you keep doing things that take energy you'll pass out until the next day.
They said I should prepare hor the egg festival but I don't know what to do there
@paper chasm ohhhhhh
I guess that's why I move so slow
If you ever are at like 10 AM and have no energy, eat some leeks, fish, or other food items that give you a decent amount of energy
@paper chasm thank you
Yeah, weird people called Mom are like that sometimes. π€£
egg festival is the only place where strawberry seeds are sold plus the egg hunt can give a nice influx of cash if you win.
One last thing, if you want to upgrade your tools to make them stronger (Takes less hits to break something, or can "charge up" and hit a bigger area) go to Clint, on the Eastern side of town with 2000 gold and 5 copper bars that you get from smelting in the mines, you'll know when you can go there when you get a letter.
@icy lantern thank you but do I need to buy them or they just give you some
Strawberries are great spring crops so get as many as you are comfortable with, you should get 2 harvests from them so that will tide you over for summer
You need to buy them
The saloon in the middle of town
Opens at noon and closes at midnight
@icy lantern oh I though they were free
Don't waste your early money on that. Travel around the map and look for forageables. You can eat those for energy.
From Spring 15-18 you can pick salmonberries by shaking any bush with red spots on it. You can get hundreds of these over the course of 4 days.
These can keep you fed and energized until you can get better foods.
And people said there are legendary fishes you can catch
so save cash for the egg festival to get as many as possible, save some for next year as well since it is better returns to start out with some on year 1
legendaries need a certain fishing level to get caught, worry about them later honestly.
@hexed smelt I did not know that thank you
rn focus on more beneficial fish like sturgeons ||which can make caviar a good source of cash when you build a fish pond||
@icy lantern ok
If you do enough of a task like foraging or picking your crops, you'll level up and get some crafting recipes, use less energy when using a tool related to the skill, and you may even be able to select a perk sometimes.
You guys are very helpful thank you
Like your first level up might be foraging from picking stuff up across the map and chopping trees
if you pass out and level up on the same day, you start the next day with full energy
@paper chasm ohh there's a leveling system
so if you need to pass out on a day try to level up as well to minimise the losses
@icy lantern ok I'll try that
There's an ! mark below your clock and money counter, which is your journal and gives you some basic tips for starting your game
Alongside any quests you may have, speaking of, there is a board outside the seed shop that can give good money if you have the right item
plus the cash loss scales with your current cash so don't keep much if you want to pass out that night and you lose less
@paper chasm ohhhh that's what it is
@icy lantern so if I faint I'll lose money and a guy called Linus will rob me
One last thing, if you ever want to play with a friend, go to Robin's (The nice lady who greeted you in the intro and lives in the mountains south of your farm) and you can buy a cabin for 100 gold and a few materials. Now a friend can move in and be a "Farmhand"
@paper chasm wow you can do that awesome
So theoretically you can get some real-time help or experience the game with another new player
thereβs a lot of content in this game which is what i love the most tbh lol. and the fact you donβt have to buy DLC
Also, there are 2 items that you might be lucky enough to get, but don't give them to the museum. You'll know them when you see them, all you need to know is one's an egg and the other is a VERY shiny gem
Wait until you get a duplicate
What's dlc
"Downloadable Content"
downloadable content. itβs basically pay to play stuff but this game has none
@paper chasm ohh
@paper chasm there's a museum now bruhhhhhhhhhh
@fair merlin yeah I like those things
How can I get geodes btw
You get them from breaking small rocks on the farm and in the mines
sometimes rng
@paper chasm ohh are they useful?
There are 4 kinds, 3 of them are related to the different "zones" in the mines and one is an Omni
Can I tell you something
They can help fill out the museum with gems and if you are lucky even give you some useful ores. Or you can sell them straight up for money
Can I tell you something
there are. you dont have to catch them right now just make sure to keep them safe because you can only catch one of each per player
they have very specific places to be caught in and most are locked to a season
so if you do ever plan on catching them then the wiki will help a lot
I've been playing this game for four years now and I'm just very happy that you guys help people start with the game
Even though some communities are bad, there's a few diamonds in the rough that'll get you on your feet
I know almost every thing from the sc,cc, and perfection list but thank you
I know about radioactive ore just pretty much everything this game has to offer but I still love playing this game
Careful, you are still in the new people chat, they may not know about these things
so just got done dealing with the bulk quest of 100 bone fragments
haven't made it to skull cave but someone put a crown on me cause I definitely conquered enough skeletons to make a small kingdom and rule it
Obsidian Edge has been cutting the opposition
if you ever find a rare gem, keep it
if you talking diamonds been giving them to Penny, she loves them
well not all of them
Trust me, it is rarer
You'll know it when you see it because it's the only one you have ever seen
the same
They both give you the same amount of cash, but Pierre's is instant
you just get the money instantly from selling to a shopkeeper
The box needs you to wait until the day is over
Hmm
||I think they're a bit more findable in the 70-80 area cause that's where the wiki claims skeleton spawn more often if you don't have skull cavern for bone fragments||
Then instant selling is good
So if you are at like, 1900g and just got done with your parsnips on a Tuesday, sell them at Pierres then buy a backpack.
For an example
However I don't think un-shipped things are recorded in your inventory
skeletons are only on 70-80 in the mines
Yeahh
And it would be nice to have a log of how much things sell for if you are unmodded
oh they don't spawn in "skull" cavern, a place where the implication of "skull" implies DEATH and skeletons.....well at least a bit more skeletons
wating 20 days for the season to end so that I can get the last fish I need for the fish tank 
Hmm
Speaking of which, you can guesstimate how much things are worth from upgrading your trash can
Hmm
Like if you got a 45% trash can (Gold, because you had extra money and resources cause why not) then you can double the price of things you are trashing and a bit more
Any mining tips ?
Food
bring food
Bombs
+-+
and bombs, though basic fire poppers are good
If you are in singleplayer, you can take an elevator back to floor 0 (Keep a chest there btw, it doesn't reset) and the mines will be cleared
Cherry bombs are a good start
Mega bombs if you want to bring destruction and fear
I love mega bombs
Is it like 20Γ20?
Hmm I needs lot of copper
regular bombs are good for the later floors like in the 90s and above
So you can like, keep redoing floors 70 to 80 for iron and skeletons, and going back to floor 0 to empty your inventory
Forgor. I just blow up anything I see within my radius
But itβs around there
Good start if you have nothing else, and with your energy crisis early on I'd say having a few on you is good, then you can upgrade to regular bombs which use 4 iron ore and 1 coal
Yes
Mega Bombs I feel given how "DANGER! Handle with EXREME CARE!" are only for Skull Cavern, where monsters and rocks are in ample supply and you just don't have enough food items to count as "healing" items
Ohh
Elliott will not make it to his 60s at the rate Iβm going to the mines
I never really go out of my way to grab a few, but I usually craft one if I see a huge clump of rocks and I don't have the energy
Assuming I have the copper and coal on me
π£π£π£π£
bring food that give you a lot of energy
that's just my view on it, given how a Mega Bomb I found in a chest took out not only the rocks in the general area
Btw can you blow up stuff on the surface if you're feeling extra lazy?
but also an entire city block while it was feeling generous
Hmmmm
You can, but I think trees will survive
It counts as like, 1 regular axe hit or something
so there is no end?
No end to what?
the game
its open world
Unlike harvest moon, your character doesn't die after a few years
nice itβll make it my land of delulu
wait we die in harvest moon, ayo, I thought it was like animal crossing
hello sister wife
That's fine, the most annoying part is just needing to keep switching between axe and pickaxe for the rocks and branches
That is why Eric Barone is an intelligent game dev
The game does stop bringing "new" content after Year 2 finishes and Year 3 starts, then the rest are more things you can do at any time like completing the CC
ohhh okay, they still have updates tho right unlike acnh
He went from being a fast food worker to a millionaire
I wrote about CA for an English project
thatβs dope
1.6 is underway
I think 1.5 was probably the last one, until 1.6 comes out and is mostly for modders and other quality of life things
Maybe it will take the way of Terraria and get a 1.7 or something, but I'm not sure how with ||true perfection|| already being a thing
riddle me this, why is Perrie's favorite food fried calamari
oh yeahhh i saw it was to kind of help it w modding which is dope tbh
A thing I love about this game is it represents real world things
but he hates squid, which is what fried calamari is
Shane suffering from depression is an accurate representation that people suffer from mental health issues
He doesn't like handling live creatures, but likes eating prepared food for him
If I gave you a live fish, you would probably not want to prepare and eat it, would you?
Is there any reason I should save gems or should I just sell them?
Iβve not used anything except quartz and earth crystals
You can keep like 1 or 2, in case you get special orders or any other uses you may find later
I would say yeah I'd be fine with it cause my stepddad taught me how to prepare live fish but its been so many years I kinda gotta relearn it
Also, smelt quartz, it sounds obvious but I never realised it for a while when I started playing
Yeah, I figured out smelting quartz. But other than that I really havenβt had much use aside from the occasional gifting
give it to abigail and she'll eat it
I have hoarding tendencies with shiny things.
Okay, thank you
Here's a tip, get like 5 chests and sort them by color, so forage is green, mining is gray, combat stuff is purple, seeds is red, etc
And keep one uncolored chest for CC bundles or other things you may need to "keep until later"
are you a crow
im tryna tame some crows. my moms not pleased
ok and birds are amazing i love them. bird haters suck
Help big coop or do i build a barn
Currently on level 22 in skull caverns
My ex and I tamed a crow, which fell out of a tree as a baby and was abandoned.
The crow's name was Vel.
Vel Crow.
I have a clingy parrot who steals my food and throws her treat bin on the floor when she gets frustrated
That is amazing
Big Coop. You can get rabbits and wool from them.
Unless you donβt have any barn at all, then get a barn.
I dont have a barn thats why i asked lol
iconic
Barn
I always get both a coop and a barn before i upgrade either
Pretty sure you have to spoiler ||skull cavern||
that is literally the cutest thing ever
Is that good enough
?
My inventory before the cane run
no need to bring scythe or water can to SC they take up slots that would be better use for resources from the cavern
they changed it to cave instead of stating the name of the place
ok
I I have 6 chests and in to lazy to find the tools when looking in chests so took with me
I like the name. Very creative
It was down to that or Crowmeo.
Jajajaja
Farm
that's still messy tho
Messy still does the thing
i can't fish
Just try follow the fish icon
π
sure
Are void chickens even worth it? i got void egg from witch event and i want just gift it to krobuz but i wonder with it be better if i just incubate it
i love fishing
I already have dinos so it doesn't sounds useful
i like farming
Do you already have another void chicken
No, i don't care for void chickens i just want to know are they even good
on my first save file i literally didn't plant any crops until year 2 in the fall
What do you mean by good
which was weird of me i admit
Oh wow howβd you get past the game mechanics
P a t h
Do they make a good money at least
idk π
Ignore the game mechanics like me
Not like regular chickens make a good money, i just keep them cuz they're cute
I had level 1 farming in the first year
i think i just went mining and fishing for most of that first year
I think the main reason is cuz krobus likes the stuff
Fesh
Maybe I donβt know what the bridge is
Brigde
What bridge?
Oh yeah the fishing is a lot of fun
Search bridge on google
Being good at fishing made me feel powerful
the one to quarry i think
Ohhh
Ohhhh
Catching the legend for the first time was a triumph
Never fished in my life after completing fish tank in CC and catching iridium krobus with seafoam pudding and lobster bisque
i go fishing when i have nothing else to do that day
ah yeah the extra money is always nice
In my 3 years of in game Stardew I still donβt know where the legging is
you could always check the wiki
I got to level 10 without know about the legend
Mountain lake, at the highest fishing zone, during rain
I think there's a book about it in the Library
In Spring
... the two types of informers
Thereβs glacier fish you can fish for during winter
Good news, I looked away for 5 seconds
Mutant fish when you unlock the sewers
i hate the glacier fish so much
I caught it while I was half asleep at 1am
After that I saved and crashed on my chair
π
i figured out that using fish stew and then a trap bobber made my life much easier with the glacierfish
they're the same but i hate pierre so i use the shipping bin
If youβre passing by Pelican town then you can drop it at Pierreβs
if u want the profits same day sell to pierre
If you are lazy like me and at the farm just use shipping bin
... Lewis comes in the night and literally sells them to Pierre for you
They both have the same value
idc it means i don't have to talk to pierre
I believe you can even find your stuff in his stock when you scroll down
Itβs a matter of whether I want to run to pelican town or stay in my farm the whole day and fish
You can't hide of Pierre forever, he sells the seeds
technically i could buy from joja but yes
eventually i do have to talk to pierre but the less often the better
jojo fart
True
pierre isn't THAT bad
You hate Pierre that much you'd betray the ||funny apple people||
he's rude i don't like him
i've done both the CC route and the joja route
the joja route is like a bazillion times easier
Funny apple people though
uhh i just bought green armchair and accidentaly putted it in seed maker and got amaranth seeds, was this supposed to happen?

Same ID
but yes i do go for the CC route more often because of the junimos
Try wearing a staircase as pants for example
especially now that i play with SVE
I don't know why it happens, it just does because they share the same identifier or something so the game mistakes one for the other
So a green armchair is a bunch of Amaranth or something
can i give marnie green armchair to complete amaranth quest then?
I don't know, maybe
i feel like getting the amaranth has to be easier than getting the green armchair tho
I think the game like, checks ONLY the ID for things when you wear / put them in machines, but in keeping track of the item itself, I guess the category determines it or something
Which is why you can't casually use underwear as a staircase in the mines
I got access to amaranth seeds on year 2 only and i had that quest for a year that i completed this fall
wait what
So you could possibly get a green armchair from traveling cart and give it to marnie
oh nvm
On year 1
Amaranth is sold from Pierre on Year 1, it's just the purple wheat of fall
oh ok that's what i thought
i don't think the NPCs give u the quests in the mail until u have access to that item
It's like when Pam asks for a Pale Ale and therefore needs a "Hops" plant
with a few exceptions obviously
Maybe im just blind then
I'd say when you have reasonable access, like an apricot for Emily despite no-one buying fruit trees because the fruit sells for almost nothing, produces in a single season, and can't be moved once planted
right
although tbf if u chose the fruit bat cave u don't have to buy a fruit tree to complete this quest
Mountain while itβs raining and on the ores on the outside of the mineβs entrance got it
I bought an apple tree though because it was on sale from the Cart
3000g, from 4500 or so
ah yeah
i just always choose fruit bats
cause like
foraging xp and also a bunch of fruits that i need for various things
fruit bats and botanist are so good
i always believe in mushroom
If you need foraging XP, a tree including the stump is 14 XP I think, and a Stump is 25 XP
Iridium 100 blackberries is just damn
because the food is really nice
i just like having the extra
the mushroom cave isn't for me i don't like having to check it everyday and mushrooms are relatively easy to access outside of the cave
I pick the fruit bat cave because of all the fruits needed for the CC and because I can apparently decorate it easier
yee fruit bat makes cc much easier
Hloo
Mushrooms (Except Morels) are still relatively easy to get
Ask me for a Gold Star Purple Mushroom by the time of the first luau? I probably have one
yeah but once u get into the woods morels are also relatively easy to find
During Fall...
I went with remixed bundles, didn't get the artisan bundle in cc, can easily go for mushroom cave now
ye but i'm not usually actively looking for morels so i don't mind them only being available in one season
what do i do with rabbit's foot after getting lucky charm and completing wizard bulleting board bundle
New playthrough*
The wizard
Fodder bundles
