Admittedly half the reason I suggested it was because I liked my own pun....but I also just prefer hammers(especially being a filthy anim cancel abuser)
as in, 0.5% chance of ancient seed dropping when u slay bugs, and 80 bugs is for insecthead
half of my early ancient seeds are often from just doing insecthead
I just did the math (for fun) and there's only ~27 hours in one in game year
(By hours i mean irl)
could take longer if u're fishing
Thats true
I could get more than that in one day
I would love to expand my farm rn, riverland is soooo tiny
if you're done with cc then there's post cc location too
Yeahh I just unlocked it, but I havent got the time to set it up 
new seaason and there are just so much to do
"I would to love expand my farm" -> gets farm expansion "there are just so much to do"
🤦♂️
understandable! take it one day at a time
Its farawayyy 
I need to plan my schedule to expand there
Embrace your inner linus and make a tent
A couple of days there to set up sprinklers and crops, come back when your crops are ready for free $$$
I havent got auto petter for all of my animals 
Yes, that would be one of the update ideas we could have for Stardew Valley: expanding the farm and introducing new characters.
You will make more money from setting up a full crop there over a day or two than petting your lovely little dears every day...but whatever keeps you amused 🤣
You could even pet animals, head over, set up, sleep there, finish setting up, come back. Boom, no unpetted animals
there should me a mod for this, I'm not sure tho, I havent got into modding yet
SVE
SVE has a farming space that you unlock part of the way through, and also just an optional section of the mod that is a massive field for near infinite space if you want that
idk sometimes I get distracted and then boom, its already 12pm
and I feel like its a waste to go there midday

Every day you don't go there you are wasting more tho 😭
i just catch dorado with the purple high quality!
I will go there after my marriage 
I have Stardew Valley Expanded, but I don't mess with mods either (I tried once and it didn't work). But it would be more fun to have updates, to make the game more interesting.
Huh, 3646 gold from a day of mountain fishing that started late and got 0 perfects. Maybe low skill fishing is just still good 🤔
honestly, the best part about getting down deep into the mines so early is getting the materials for the sprinklers
i do have a mod that increases the range of the sprinklers by 1 grade as they should have been imo
Forgive my confusion, but how does the statement "I have Stardew Expanded" mesh with the statement "I don't mess with mods"
wbk basic sprinklers is a scam, it should be 3x3 from the start
Fishing is my favourite early game money maker
Same energy as "I play vanilla Minecraft with a few mods"
Oh it's incredibly good normally, but I wasn't sure how much of the cashflow came from constant perfects and fishing chests
Chests are my favorite always exciting to get one
either 3x3 or maybe a H-pattern to make it interesting. I tried the cross setup in vanilla and i hated it.
are you doing a no perfect and no chest run?
I just skip basic sprinklers. LOL
Yeah I don’t even bother with basic sprinklers p
I just craft one then put it in a chest
yeah, but the mod i'm using has the water cost money
and i legit ran out of money one day
same, I would spend more time setting it up rather than planting crops 
I'm routing a minimum skill level year 1 CC run. So because people find the fishing game hard sometimes, I did training rod to level 3, am not allowed to perfect fish, and can't get fishing chests. So even a very new player should be able to replicate the run. Also fishing chests add a lot of rng, and I don't want that to be a factor. Like I ignored all forage day 1
Basic sprinklers are, by far, the best sprinklers in the game tho....
Tax money, Mayor Lewis will be getting rich
Ima play peaceful game(stardew valley) while watching peaceful anime(attack on titan)
I didn't mean that; I meant that I've tried using mods in Stardew Valley but couldn't, but I'm aware of the existence of the "Stardew Valley Expanded" mod. My translator didn't translate it correctly.
they are thank U, esp. for the point that u are getting them at
he gonna get the courier 6 response to being asked to pay taxes
is it a logical assumption to ignore all forage day 1 though, maybe a new player wouldn't chop enough wood to hit foraging level 1, but i'm sure they would have picked up something along the way
Imma make a basic sprinkler sacrifice just in spite of this
There are seeds with essentially no forage. I prefer it to be quite nearly rng agnostic
that's fair
Yeah, goal is literally any seed, literally any player could accomplish it
Second splinkler you can get is the best imo
sounds fun, any other stipulations, outside of the fishing thing
cos ur assumption is also brand new, without guidance, right
Only 10 levels a day in mines(might reduce that, still deciding), no traveling cart except for red cabbage. I need to figure out how to fairly balance out skill in amount I can mine per day as well, I might cut my mining days to half or something.
Well, brand new player with help of the guide, but no knowledge outside of that
i think 5-10 is still reasonable
no cart except for red cabbage... but ngl new players even with guidance don't often remember to check cart 
How does i.e. big barn work? Does it replace the smaller one, or is just another building?
replaces the smaller one
The issue is, year 1 isn't happening without the cart because of that filthy cabbage 😛
thanks. Does auto-grabber or heater stay on place or do I needto remove it?
i'd say ||skull cavern|| but yeah for new players, depends on how comfortable they are with the mines, bc i've also seen many who are combat averse
it stays in there, but you’d probably have to move it just cause it might look weird
The issue is, rng agnostic. And no way I'm gonna suggest day resets for a new player
that's fair
Getting into anything that requires day resets is the fastest way to speedrun going from loving the game to wanting to uninstall 🤣
I honestly hope that CA will remove that freaking cabbage in 1.7, even though I know it's not going to happen
I mean, if I lost a lot of items then I would want to day reset
Big difference between "I made a mistake and want it undone" to "I am going to redo this day until I get this 0.2% chance to trigger". I was talking about the second
I c
he already allowed u to have the guaranteed option of it appearing in y1 tho

I do not personally appreciate the cart as a solution. A new players are going to frequently forget to check, B it requires checking an additional option at world creation. I think it doesn't feel like it matches the rest of the CC in vibe
the solution is y2 though, that's the solution for new players
I think the CC would just be better without the cabbage and no other changes for new players 
i think a lot of players (myself included) dont really try to rush cc completion
i just think that while the concept is nice and it's a fun idea, cc y1 + new players are fundamentally at odds with one another
Competition kinda ruins the game for me
i kinda just do what i want and when its done its done, i do try to get the minecarts working quickly tho
not saying that new players cannot complete cc in y1
they can, but to do so requires them not playing for the most part, like a "new player" aka be very diligent and thorough
You can still get a red cabbage seed before year two without the traveling cart. It just requires a lot of dedication and patience.
I don't entirely disagree, but I think having a single item that is actively intended to be a roadblock is meanspirited. Everything else is exploring a part of the game, the cabbage is....nothing you can do after you started? It's rude
u can cap the skills but i've seen plenty of players only plant 20 plants their whole of year 1, and then never expanding their plot
so skill cap alone imo is simplifying cc too much
theres also a setting for guaranteed red cabbage from cart on ps5 at least
i always hit lvl 10 fishing before lvl 5 farming 😭
when concernedape first made this game, the community center was considered the end of the game once you completed it. He did not expect players to try and rush the community center and instead thought that they would want to enjoy playing the game without rushing. you are exploring the game.
the money that is required, rng aside (since u're not allowing cart for anything else other than cabbage), to get a pig before winter y1
is astronomical for many new players
so it's imo not comprehensive enough if you are just doing skill caps
You mean by wasting half a season making my farm pretty, I play by Barone’s standards
Same
it’s not a waste if you’re having fun

Oh I didn't mean skill as in in game skill, I meant a player of any skill level 🤣
ah gotcha, but the point still stands - in the sense that it's very one-sided if you are only removing rng out of the equation
This is true, I finally have happy animals
i think the speedrunners are the outlier honestly
2.5 hours or the community center or uninstall the game
this is one of the most popular games of all time, most people who play it are just going to do whatever they want
which is the whole point
there is just no magical guide that can make players of ANY skill level
buy a pig before winter 1
Well, fishing at the mountain lake is worth about 3K a day before lvl 5 and 10 perks without chests or perfect catches. So a couple days of that, strawberries. I'm not 100% certain it's going to be possible to route it, but it's an interesting challenge in it's own right
- Parsnip
- Potato
- Strawberry
- Blueberry
it is, don't get me wrong, i'm not stopping you and i think it's a fun thought experiment
players that just first start the game and try to minmax it as much as possible are often the players that quit the fastest. just an observation I’ve noticed.
? i know how to make the money, my point is
there are players who are so lost, that they go years without ever investigating the community center, and they just do other stuff
It's perspective, not everyone enjoys a slow paced game.
I see
Well, nothing forces you to do it
Yeah, I'm doing day 2 parnsips into day 6 potatoes for cash too, then strawberries
I dunno what else we are to do in the y1 winters 😭✌️
of course not
this is the current topic of discussion...
oh for sure. i just think most people are playing casually since thats how its usually talked about and advertised
sighofthewind is coming up with a guide for new players at any skill level to try to complete y1cc
True.
||skull cavern||
😭
then go talk to people, or give gifts, or fish
fish until you pass out
I run ||quarry||/normal mines instead then
I got 3 rabbit feet, 2 dino eggs, and 4 prismatics on a worst luck day. Prove them spirits wrong
just ignore them lol i do and stuff is always just fine
i prefer fishing on the good luck days tho since you get way more iridium quality

(No correlation)
wait really?
Does...luck have anything to do with fish quality?...
Yes
Luck is for treasure chest rate
ah okay
You get iridium when you perfect a gold fish
Placebo effect coming in HARD
do ||quarry|| event have any other benefit besides that
@robust condor You leveled up to Cowpoke. You can now speak in our voice channels and share images in all channels!
these all have to do with your IRL luck
yeah maybe im just trying harder 💀
iridium is based off of zone/perfect catch
You get +1 fish quality when you perfect a fish, gold is from zone depth
How can I check that?
I saw this in a video today that perfectly catching a fish increases the level
i too would like to know lol
Yeah they were wrong, it's +1 quality not pure iridium
||has coal nodes. I go there to farm the monsters for XP and good loot.||
Man, I would love all my perfect catches to result in iridium, training rod would go so hard 😭
(Turns on TV)
You, yes YOU SPECIFICALLY, are cooked!
perfectly catching a fish increases your XP gain. It’s just so happened that they leveled up when they caught it.
One more question: How many fishes do I need to put into fish pond?
2.4x
depending on where u fish, level 0 iridium is possible
training rod doesn't have qualities anyway
I think the luck channel isn’t even like general it’s YOU specifically
im part of the minority(?) who actually likes the fishing minigame
I would be intrigued to see a video of that, I'm under the impression it isn't possible
yeah, in multiplayer everyone has their own daily luck IIRC.
i didn't take a vid but i have photos of it, it's using fishmunk's spot, one sec
it’s a specific area at the beach. There is a video on it by albino chipmunk.
thers a 2.4X exp buff from a perfect catch 2.2X chest and they stack making up to 5.6X
What...what is a fishmunk spot 🧐
Why are the spirits just randomly pissed at me some days what did I do?!
fishmunk is albino chipmunk, this was the spot he recommended
Just rng
is it worth it for coal mining only? I hate the enemy there
That sentence is beautiful but explains almost nothing 🤣 But I assume person
||yeah, but all the plentiful coal nodes are near the bad enemies|| 
Does it just happen to have a weirdly high depth?
ahaahaha yes
he's the one who did level 10 fishing in 5 days, and then legend day 6
https://www.reddit.com/r/StardewValley/comments/1pt0dn5/i_caught_the_legend_on_day_6_spring_year_1/
but there are coal there in many amounts every day
thanks ❤️
yes, bc u can step halfway out into the water
vs. being blocked by pier
i can attest to this spot, in 6/6 tries even at my worst (missing perfect catches all the time), day 2 level 4 fishing is very consistent
I might suggest it in my guide even if I can't use it 🤔
Alright then, it's time to find the shawdowy figure without any spoilers.

why can't u use it though 😯 u can still benefit from it bc of the further fishing zone (shorter casting animations saves time) even without perfect catches
good to know, maybe I will visit there again for coal
Glad to help!!
Does the training rod even benefit from depth?
use glow ring
I did training rod to level 3 to account for players who need a little sum'n sum'n to catch fish at all
For what?
right
To look bonita 💃
I thought its not depth but the distance of tile pixel from the land?
it's fishing zone yeah
I would almost suggest a new player to wait until day three to use their beginner luck buff on a catfish for the community center..
but you can still get catfish in summer/fall so ig it doesn’t matter
That would require resets though, or at least possible resets
Plus, I don't intend to suggest catfish without level 10 and a good bobber, and have no expectations on how many they are catching for the day other than a single catfish
i started a new save today (added more mods) and ive found 3 wooden clubs in my first mine trip so far
it would be cast resetting, not day resetting
That is expecting a new player to recognize fish by pattern though....possible but iffy
What am I gonna say, if it feels like the fish has recently taken crack, keep it. If it doesn't, let go?
i got a lucky easy one at level 3 at five i can guaranteed catch 75%
but i also think level 10 fishing is just underestimating new players too much
bc it's usually 2 extremes
it's players who can't catch a sardine at all
I would say if it’s very difficult to get it to stay in the bar then it’s the catfish
and then new players who can catch one most of the time at level 5
very very rare tbh it's shad, smallmouthbass, bream
its a pain going back and forth to the beach for fish money lol
what if you suggested 2 plans?
So, part of the reason I'm not going to use catfish is because I cannot even begin to attempt to simulate catch rate. Most people can catch everything at the mountain lake. Catfish? I have no freaking clue, I can catch 100% and I also read someone type, today , someething along the lines of "catfish are harder than the legend for me" so I'm not banking on catfish for gold 🤣
i’m not even referring on catching the catfish for gold. It’s for the cc.
catfish can be easy
i hate catfish
1 for: "if u can't even catch a sardine"
1 for: "u have some grasp on fishing"
like 2 subplans within the guide
we’re talking about a brand new player, for context 
Yeah, I'm just going to suggest it when they already have the level 10 fishing, since you are definitely going to need to fish for gold to hit cash timings to get coop and barn online
I always save my first catch for catfish cause its annoying at low levels lol
Anyone have a recommendation on what’s best to combine with the Iridium Band? I was thinking the ring that gives +1 luck. 😮
Ive memorized the way it moves
yeah, that’s what I suggested.
luck ring is good
Another iridium band tbh.
usually my recommendation for people who can't catch a sardine is to actually befriend linus then reset for mail gift if it's cc
Or burglars
I personally also like the|| slime charmer ring||
Wait you can do that? 😮
you cant combine 2 of a ring
Should I bother having a separate coop/barn for every animal? No, right? That seems like way too much work, even if a lot of it is automated
i don't i let them live tgt
better luck ring or burglars?
Some portions are going to be divided into "enough gold for this" and some are more specific item requirements. Ideally it's very easy to follow, and easy to implement parts if they have specific struggles
i’m not talking about that. That is post CC and cannot be discussed here by the way.
depend depends on what you’re doing. ||lucky ring|| is only useful situationally if you actually needed the luck buff.
If you like the animals enough to even remotely consider that you probably should. But a normal person needs about 1 of each animal at most
burglars Ring is probably going to be more useful more of the times than ||lucky ring||
(Don't need sheep tho) @livid rose
-# my hot take is ||lucky ring|| is good but overrated
U dont need a goat either
do they glow brighter too? or just the countable that stacks?
CC/shipping.
I just like the bragging right of finding a bunch
you could sell the goat afterwards, but you do need goat more likely if you aren’t lucky with the cart
u dont need a goat for cc, U can use the 2 eggs, duck egg, milk, and wool from rabbit
everything stacks
are people allowed to make stardew portrait commissions
you still need shipping though
!Commissions yup!
If you're looking for people who do mod commissions (either art or code), here's a wiki page with a non-comprehensive list of people who do them: https://stardewmodding.wiki.gg/wiki/Stardew_Mod_Commissions
I assumed we were talking about cc
I will make that second iridium band now
What is the maximum light radius if they all stack?
draw everyone as dinosaurs instead
You glowy af
Embrace the light of the noon-day sun ring combo

Who needs more drops when you can be a sunbro
I've drawn boars
dogs
hedgehogs
uhhhhh... bandicoots?
foxes
and sponges
the villagers wondering why it feels like the sun is up so quickly
meanwhile the farmer is just coming to give them that item they asked for two seasons ago
Only 2 seasons?!? Last year, minimum
Jodis been waiting for a bass for about a year
I just dont care enough Im sorry woman
I already gave u a cauliflower
the radius just increase a bit, but the brightness really doubled, you get larger view point (just tried it
)
The only npc that gets their quest completed is Robin because we vibe
i dont like Robin very much tbh
-# was that my fault? Heheheh
no I disliked her long long before u said anything
I've rarely been so emotionally devastated in my life, I was hoping for 40 tiles of unmitigated SUN
Based
Why y'all hating on robin? 🥺 Without her and clint my y1s would be so much harder
She's not a good mom
shes a bad mother, and generally overhyped
I like her from first sight, and get dissapointed that she is married
Time to romance Seb
Maybe if she weren't building all our sheds she'd be able to mother properly
well... cant argue 
Before you judge, look within
shes just an older Leah

no, this has been happening for years
Way before the farmer was involved
Can't a guy make a joke without lore ruining it
Are there...good people in the valley? Most of them suck, and I assume for all the rest I just haven't realized why they suck. But she sells wood and stone and that means I'm on her side
their personality is different, and I dont feel the same pull with leah (or maybe I just like older woman
)
i’m tone tag sensitive so I can’t tell unless you use a tag. Or if I know you personally and I know that you’re joking. But I don’t know you so.
i like leah her gifts and cutscenes are cute
It's all good 🙂
Robin built the whole house. he gave Maru an entire basement, a patio, and a bedroom. She gave Demetrius a massive lab. Meanwhile Sebastian got put in the basement. Before u say maybe Seb prefers his basement, he also regularly comments about how much he dislikes it.
She also ignores when Demetrius is a bad stepfather
🗣🗣🗣
I have to agree on this, she has good cutscenes, but some of her dialogue irks me 
like convo dialogue, not cutscenes
I never delved deep into Robin, just used her shop so I fear I have missed a few things
I forgot Seb was hers
At least he'll learn basements are meant for casks only
casks and chests and a few furnaces
I'm not that diversified yet
I have I think 4 rows of 12 casks, 4 chests, and 4 furnaces
I'm still on the base amount of casks. Only just getting my GI sorted
i saw a video with some great layouts
(Can't discuss that here, pls check the pins btw)
Ohh mb, thought I was in spoilers
thats a lot of reactions lol
Oopsies
how much is stardew on steam im to lazy to check
14.99 USD
Just don't plan anything for 3 months if you do
Or 10 years /j
What is/are hops?
they are a trellis crop that yields every day in the summer
when processed into a keg, it makes pale ale
Ipa ingredient
It surprised me when maru sided with Demetrius saying that robin wasted resources on her big four poster bed
I don’t remember that cut scene to be honest. I haven’t done that quest in a long, long time.
I always like to try to do every quest as it becomes available
When you think about it, robin favors Sebastian over maru too
Which is.. Hardly 
Yup!
thats wrong
Inflation
It's just Clint and Robin. Lol.
But by year 2 you shouldn’t really need to buy wood, stone, or ore
I kind of slept thru the first year
hard disagree. Depends how you play.
I’ve been trying to look for a good perfection tracker for awhile and have yet to find one that’s mobile friendly, does anyone have any recommendations 🥺
Why? Lol
because I was trying to unlock the greenhouse
and still really dont know what Im doing

right now Im trying to get my tools to gold
if you need help can ask
and making sprinklers
sounds like a good plan
and I fish for money at the moment
i have question, why i can't use my micro?
I like the idea of in the stardew valley board game how joja is apparently constantly lobbying for new laws that makes everyones lives harder
I like to imagine that the price increase in year 2 is due to a small business tax
Can you buy clay from anywhere?
If you have difficulty finding clay, try hoeing in the mines
Can't buy it anywhere then?
No
Dang
ok I got the quality sprinklers down
so first things first a crop for xp
parsnips ? I think someone said and Hops ?
Parsnips are technically efficient, with few sprinklers use kale
I have 16 sprinklers in the greenhouse
Ooh, multi harvest is ideal then, because they can keep growing im between seasons
ok got any suggestions ?
Probably one of blueberries, strawberries, or cranberries. Not sure which is ideal tho
Hi, Does anyone speak Portuguese?
well I need to keep an area in greenhouse open for CC crops as well I think and also trees
Strawberry
ancient fruit or starfruit.
I have 1 ancient fruit seed
Oooo definitely plant that in there then.
I wanted to get my level up to get that seed maker thing
ideally, you wanna make your greenhouse full of them or the starfruit
I have some starfruit seeds as well
but what about the veggies and fruits I need for my CC
do I ever get another greenhouse
The only crops and stuff you would need would be for bulletin board
Strawberries is 18 xp every 4 days, starfruit is 43 every 13. But starfruit is far more profitable
like the poppy and the red cabbage
if you are already got the greenhouse then no. Like I said it’s only for bulletin board now.
o ok cool
yes, because the pantry calls for fruits and vegetable. Lol
those don’t need to be in the greenhouse.
woops
Starfruit -> sell for supplies for more preserves jars until you have enough to keep up -> buy supplies for more sprinklers to plant outside is probably the fastest, though strawberries do give higjer xp/day
I forget, does deluxe speed grow stay on the || greenhouse? ||
wdym ? Dumb down please... do you want me to turn the starfruit into perserves ?
Yes
there’s still a chance for it to un-till overnight though
Yeah, if you use preserves jars for the starfruit you make a lot more money
I have 1 starfruit seed
At the worst a gold starfruit sells for 1237 vs starfruit jelly selling for 1550. At best, starfruit jelly sells for 2170(artisan profession increases it) vs the 750 sell price of a basic stardruit without tiller
See Sandy in the desert
Then strawberries 🫡
buy some blueberries come summer for the spaces not filled with strawberries, use the gold from selling to get some preserves jars online, then use those profits for the vault and swapping to starfruit eventually
if they're buying 20 strawbs, i don't think there's a lot of money for many bluebs/bus/starfruits ngl
If brother @quartz canopy didn't sleep through y1, then he would’ve had the bus unlocked already
As in, once you start getting strawberry crops sell them to purchase the supplies to make preserves jars

It's 2400 gold every 4 days which isn't a lot but it's what we got 😭
Not bad in year 1 tbh
Year 1...yeah, year 1.....
Oh god what year are you in
should I just start over then I didnt know what to do
Starting over will only ever lose progress, you got this ❤️
no, I think you could keep going. You would just have to do what you would’ve done in year one
Not me, he, and year 2...I hope?
This game has no time limits at all
I will say the only thing that is probably going to affect you will be buying raw material.
Oh yeah that is a slight bummer
yeah I can fish the money for that if need be
Hi Alex! Nice to see you in here
Year 1 is the best year to get buildings because the wood and stone is dirt cheap
Exactly!
Hi! It's not often I come in here it's true
Fish, it's a money maker
Your strawberries will give you passive income
ok
soon enough after you farmed and fish enough, then you won’t be. I promise.
and the boiler is what I plan on trying to open next which requires me to get a lot further in the mine
You got this
Absolutely worth it tho
at level 10 fishing right now
||those minecarts are so convenient||
what’s your farming level at?
I believe in you ❤️
Also, just curious, approximately how many floors per day of mining do you get down? 1 ladder a day, 2, more? For science
5 levels a day
unless I use stairs
but thats to level 50 its getting harder to do
Welp, lemme just rework my guide down to 5 levels a day 😭
the monsters are a pain 🙁
Morning chat

Upgrading yer pickaxe once you have cash will help
Hi hi!
its steel right now
They'll get easier as you progress and get better weapons and gain more xp, bringing lots of food with you for health boost helps
🤣 ur sample size/sample type is
and soon as I have enough gold Im going to turn it into a gold pick
@quartz canopy
Ohh, that's pretty decent
o sorry
Hi!
farming is 7 atm
HRU?
I'm doing well! How about yourself?
I was gonna go with 10 floors per day but optimism has no place in this guide 😭
ok are the sprinklers automatic or do I have to do anything ?
They're automatic every morning
7 farming
I was going to say. If you are close to Farming 10. Then I would actually suggest that you invest in the fish smoker first. Not anything else.
They go off every morning after you place them, just make sure to harvest your crops when ready(every 4 days once you start getting strawberries
My advice is skip the basic sprinklers and go for quality ones
thast what I did
They're a bit more expensive but twice the area
yeah I have all quality sprinklers down
Also just more aesthetically pleasing imo
Same! Ty
omg hi
So I have to route in 16 days of mining before the boiler room. Oh lordy, I do not have as much time for fishing in the guide as I hoped
ok I dont see a fish smoker option
Hard disagree
Hey guys. I need help. I just finished my first perfection run and my first run ever after 167 hours. I came here cause I want a new experience for my next farm. I’m looking between forest and 4 corners. 4 corners seems so versatile for decorating and planting and stuff but it has ugly cliffs and is similar to standard. Forest is far prettier with the leaves but less variety long term. I love the foragables and hardwood, but I’m also worried about the little tillable space. Can yall help me decide? Give your recs?
and you have the fisher/angler professions?
Chat basic fertilizer or Quality fertilizer?
no I dont I screwed up 🙁 I chose the crab trap thing
In this save I’ll be doing year one cc too
I bet you've never even seen the Bob Ross pattern, it is truly beautiful
I once again didnt know what I was doing
Depends
Im level 10 fishing
Forest
oh dang. Never mind about the fish smoker then.
That’s okay! If you go to the sewer for 10000 you can pick a new profession
I'm trying to get more gold quality crops, so I can finally finish the quality crops bundle
It's okay
no one does when we first start
but ok lets back track
so
Why do you think the tree? And does it have versatility for decoration?
depends on what you’re doing/growing
cause Im still confused 😉 from Sigh
He's A:poor and B: doesn't like the mines so C: probably isn't getting that soon 🤣
the star fruit do I use it in the preserve jar maker
Yes or keg
Quality crops bundle
same with the strawberries do I put them in the preserve jar maker
every farm can be decorated well if you are creative enough. And the foraging makes yr 1 cc easier.
Yes
ok the whole sell online to get the supplies for the perserve jars confused me
well hilltop would be the best for that purpose
for quality crop bundle specifically is the only time I use quality fertilizer to be honest
how do I get into the sewer ?
keep donating to the museum
that’s very subjective. I think hilltop is one of the ugliest so I wouldn’t agree.
Im not worried about ease. Im more worried about long term which wil be more fun. I planned on doing forest originally through my whole first playthrough on the next but I realized I could have color coded sections for 4 corners and one of my fave things about my farm is the fish ponds and I’m scared I won’t have room for my rows of 12 fish ponds on the forest farm
Okay, thank you
wanna see my farm?
okay so i just started stardew and ive told myself that i am gonna be committed till i reach perfection but as a newbie does anyone have any tips? i got blueberries and have been makig good money with that and i just got a chicken coop, i wanna make mayo machines but other than that idk whererto go after
Where can we share farms? I just finished my perfection run and I’d love to show people
if you’re trying to do 12 fish ponds then do four corners
I would be honoured to see your farm sir
Sure!
ok I think Ive done donated everything I could lol
- Sell crops for gold
- Use gold to buy wood/coal/stone for preserve jars
- Put future crops in preserve jars for greater profit than just selling raw crops
- Keep reinvesting gold in preserve jars until you can keep up with harvest rate, then other things
so basically the community center is your game guide right now
Pretty! I love fall 
is hilltop still ugly my lady?
To me yes lol
Preserve jars are incredibly good on the road to perfection
like I said. If you’re creative enough, you can make any farm look good.
ok how do I make preserve jars
so just fill all those out and the game will naurally progress?
50 wood, 40 stone, 8 coal
[[Preserves Jar]]
I guess I lack that skill then
Yes!
It's a low level farming recipe
o the machine that makes the perserves
yeah I have 1 of those
sorry I was confused
huh? I just said it looks good
how many do i want to have made
Thanks for the help yall! I shared it
Don't worry, me too, but I'm also just using the standard farm rn
that’s up to you and how many crops you want to put in there
o ok
I failed to change your thought about the hilltop
just because it’s decorated nice, doesn’t mean I’m gonna like the layout more 
I just don’t like that farm.
cool, hardest to decorate in my opinion, Im afraid of open areas
okay sick, thank you
For 20 strawberries that's 15 preserves jars
my favorite is Meadowlands.
wow I need to figure out where to put all of these
I’m terrified to start though cause I’m terrified of making the wrong choice
I know I want four corners or forest
New players usually put them in sheds
Me too, I like standard but I do wanna try something different after I wrap up my first playthrough
I mean, you could just start over 
The only wrong choice is giving up. You do not need your farm very much on the road to perfection if you do not want to need it
I love my fish ponds. I like the aesthetic of forest more. Like the diversity of 4 corners. I want the stumps and foragables. But I’m intimidated by how broken up the space is
ok then I need to make sheds
I basically made my house/cabin into a factory
you can put them in your house for now though
what do experienced players do
I made it to perfection. I just don’t wanna regret my farm choice
we usually put them in the open world (which requires villager pathing studying)
Mayonnaise, cheese press, smelting, recycling, basically everything factory so everything I need is right there
You have a big farm that I know for a fact isn't filled with crops like mine would be 🤣
!Pathing unfortunately this link doesn’t have everything anymore:(
See here for NPC pathing tiles:
interesting
I wish we could switch spouse rooms too. I want Hailey’s room so much but I’m a straight girl and also do not like Hailey 😭
its filled with grass and trees and rocks and all of that stuff
She reminds too much of the girls who bullied me in high school
that would make rather questionable designes
Aww
Introduce the trees to Mr. Axe, and the rocks to Mr. Pickaxe?
did u hurt them
She do be bullying
thats what I do but theykeep growing back 😉
Nah I just became chronically absent
My idol Lummi would murder me 😭
are u a girl?
Yes
then beat them
Keep clearing them and get rid of fallen adjacent seeds if you dont want the trees to grow back
theykeep growing back Ive been slowly placing down stone paths
lol not too physically strong, also I don’t wanna resort to violence, also that was years ago. I’m an adult
They don't normally break yer machines I think 🤔 Once you clear the space and have things there is stays clearish
That's good, plaths can help kind of steer the direction of natural growth where you want it and dont want it
well theyre girls too theyre not warriors either, u shouldve let your anger take control
It also helps you walk faster because you slow down in running/walking if you're walking through gras or just dirt farm land if you dont have any speed boosts
so how much do I have to donate to the museum to open up the sewer
60 items
ouch
do we have to see that scene to get the sewers key?
60 artifacts/minerals
wait that was a dumb question, forgive my stupidity
Once you decide to take on the mines you get a goodly quantity from geode breaking
You get the key next day yes
yeah I have 128 geodes I need to break
What year are you in?
It would be a hard to not see that scene before donating that many items or am I wrog
What
I'm confuzled and puzzled
Wdym dude
u see the scene way too early
u cant wait that long
I mean
to get it the next day

Check the special quests board by the mayor's house, it changes every monday, do clint's special quest called cave patrol when you see it appear on the board and he'll give you the recipe to make a geode crusher so you don't have to walk all the way to his shop from your home to crush geodes, it doesn't work on mystery boxes though
Gunther visits u next day with the key iirc
Yes
Except in SVE 😠
FR
It was stupid to have marlon to 5 hearts just to unlock sewers lmao
imo
I also am torn over whether to be a boy or girl. It’ll feel weird being a boy. But I was a girl last time. And also there’s so many cute girl marriage candidates like maru and Emily and Leah and penny
ok it wasnt there this week Ill try to remember to check next monday
Embrace chaos, break out the d20 and let rnjesus take the wheel
There's nothing wrong with same sex relationship/marriages, follow your heart on whaat gender you want to be
same-sex marriage based just because when I married Maru we had mixed children
but the chats change as I recall
They do yes.
and they get worse?
the only thing is you can't have bio kids with same sex relationships but I think that's it
yeah, but who cares when you can adopt and the sprites, don’t look any different
that would be obvious

we should be able to choose them
I would also save up diamonds because you'll be needing those, I have a crystallirium steadily producing diamonds for me which is helpful
all kids, adopted or not, are equally useless useful
/j
Ooo agreed actually
ok cool
Hailey is nicer to the boys, Alex is less sexist if you’re a boy and confronts being queer for his story arc, George starts homophobic if you’re a boy, ||Kel|| is a man if you’re a boy, etc.
ik
Simply Wizars, have kids, then Wizard
so they do get worse
(||Kel|| will need a spoiler tag btw)
And respectfully I know there’s nothing wrong with being gay, but I think it’s really cute to have the in game relationship represent me and my irl boyfriend
guys i still cant join by ip w/ my friend is there any solutions?
Hence why I want to be a guy, especially since we might cosplay one of my saves eventually together
What console are you on?
He doesn’t play yet. He just watches me play
||wait what kel can be a woman?||
||yeah it's dependent on farmer gender ||
But for why I’d wanna be a boy if I pick a girl we don’t do cross dressing for our cosplays and I’d like to possibly make cosplays with him
not console im on mob
@dry sonnet
Oops sorry
well that makes sense
so leah is
yeah
well, I mean, technically they all are
what is love
don't hurt me
I forgot the rest
But yeah to clarify, not being homophobic, totally cool with whatever yall do. It’s solely for personal reasons and cosplay ideas with my bf that I want my saves to be male and female characters, so I can play dress up and pretend we’re the couple XD
its cool u shouldnt keep saying that
got it! Sorry just wanted to clarify, didn’t want people to get the wrong idea
Specially since I just joined and everyone here seems really cool!
I am offended, and I will forgive you if you give me cupcakes
actually no I think I want something cold
coffee
iced tea should be nice
Aww, but I already got the ice cream!
hey chat
coffee
then I'll have iced tea cream
🫖
Tea ice cream that could be nice
no coffee pls I gotta sleep in a few hours
Because its Mint-y?
Iced Tea is nice.
same
drink it one cup wont do anyhting
LOL
I have like a huge jar of loose leaf jasmine t
yeahh
They have coffee ice cream so why not tea ice cream
Btw any good stardew valley creator reccomendarions? I’ve watched all of Noodlie’s videos, all the RTGame ones, rewatching most salamence ones, have watched all of Lummi’s, a good chunk of Niko’s, pretty much all of Seannie Dew’s and click whenever I see one I haven’t seen. I’m running out of content 😭
Are you an optimizer or a viber?
ConcernedApe
Both
BlaDe
BlaDe is an actual wizard
I hear he's extra concerned these days
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DRJTjD-9NW8 i enjoyed this 100 days playthrough bc thought the themed approach was fun
On Eureka Farm, we're (pseudo)scientists trying to learn everything there is to know about the Stardew Valley 1.6 update, and just become smarter in general! The only goals were to try to discover as many new things as possible and reach perfection.
You can put this on in the background while working, studying, falling asleep, or playing on you...
Oh HO HO. Captain Canadia, the shark, BitGamerTom, Haboo
Ooh tysm. I’ve seen a lot of Haboo but not BitGamerTom
I love the girl with a red hat and elf ears, I forget her name
So jealous of her mods as a mobile player
Shark3143, I always forget the numbers lol
ArgonMatrix made, in my opinion, the single best SDV video I have ever seen
Ooh which is it?
the fishing in 1 day? or the no levelling up vid
Honestly I love cutesy vids. My fave series ever is the RTGame Breaking Bad run though. Of course, my second fave is Noodlie making everyone hate her
Fiahing in 1 day
ah ye great vid
At least....ok, 0 of the ones I suggest are really cutesy 🤣 But ArgonMatrix tells a great story, and CaptainCanadia's recent series has a ton of sdv creators as voice actors for different npcs which is just really cool
Omg wait I’ve seen the fishing one day vid
Oh! Wandof Sparkling too. Not many sdv videos, but their all items video is something to behold and an absolute emotional roller coaster
ok did you say 50 or 60 for sewer key ?
60
I think you said 60 ouch
I got 2 more from those 130 geodes
so 45 right now 15 more
Des only certain minerals can come from certain geodes
You may have all of the base geode minerals
What's a good food i should try to get my hands on for skull caveran?
Current i do salads and spicy eel
That's pretty much optimal, plus some coffee
Lucky lunch or rock candy is good too but more limited
Yaya!
Yall does a girl on the forest farm pursuing Sam work?
I may go with Harvey again… you never know
I love that little nerd so much
ikrrr nerd harvey ...nice his mods portraits makes him hot nerd
Yes
yes
Jealous, I’m on mobile. I like him in the spring through fall but winter outfit is ugly
Final question
Should I do remixed community center?
Or regular?
This will be my first year 1 cc and my second save. Last I did no remix no time limit, finished winter of year 2
I like remixed, but I’ve played a long time
Hm.
is the remixed more easy?
Btw I want yall to know. I started playing a month ago
I’m addicted
All I watch are stardew valley vids. I’ve got 167 hours in this
It’s an addiction
From what I’ve heard it’s more difficult
oh i see you mean like hardcore mod?
Depends on which bundles you get
Some bundles are easy. Some bundles are so ass.
I’ll try it
I’m actually thinking about switching to Joja just because I’m pissed off with my remix bundles right now
Lmao
"played a long time" "167 hours"

I have 175, checkmate
167 hours in one month is a lot though
-# Don’t ask me how many hours I have

Rookie numbers, not even more than a standard work week smh
it's more then 1000?
Over 5k
Only? Weak
I had like 2k on switch alone
I know right if I didn’t quit for years. Or join this discord.

I spent almost 2000 hours just talking in here. LOL
I shudder to think how many hours I would have in Terraria if tmodloader was originally on steam
Whenever I hear of a Terraria player, I never hear of a small playtime number

Reason why I’m scared to try that game
i was playing in new save so i'm 175h lol
They say you'll eather play 1 hour or 1 thousand hours i have over 500 I think
God stardew first few days are crazy
NO THAT'S LITERALLY ME LOL I only played for like 20 minutes cause I didn’t know what to do
In past 3 days I have put 30 hours in stardew
Yeah, it’s pretty overwhelming as a new player!! which is so funny cause it’s supposed to be the most underwhelming days of when you start
finally was able to close off stardew and do something else
Stardew addiction is so real
SO RIGHT
Had so much homeworks to do
Ended up with y2 in 3 days of playing

LOL awww. Finish all your homework before you play Stardew. It feels so much better.
having crush on one(or more) of the bachelors or side characters is my first thing in the game lol
frr!!!
i have now crush on 5. 2 bachelors and the others side charaters
and maybe now crush from the bachelors
I’ve got a crush on my bank account 😍
let's gooooo!!!
(in stardew, im much more broke irl)
lol why so true
Helloooo
stardew valley give us things we don't have irl....ty concernedape
hiiiii!!!
Hiiii
i love this sticker ❤️
Can I see a picture?
can you send a pic?
Ikr! Too cute
It’s because of that then
yeah I cant do the minigame with the way my hands are
!Mh if you’re talking about the fish skip mini game then that shouldn’t affect it, but I think you should open a thread in modded support to see exactly what it is

Time to romance Seb aa
i catch 4 dorado fish with the purple quality but accidentally i sell them to willy 🥲

ok if I fish somewhere else Ill get differnt artifacts ?

LET'S GOOOOO!!!!
now who was going to tell me that watering shane takes up energy 😭
yes
Why bad?:0
like what
that doesn’t matter where you fish. It’s just chest that give artifacts.
i want them 🙂
Oh ok
money money money
I need to do my quality crops bundle, are there special fertilizer or grow that I need ?
Basic fertilizer is easy to craft. But you can do quality fertilizer as well. With cheap fish like crab pot fish.
i mean i have the same but i'm trying to know how to get more
stupid question but, what am i supposed to use when my tools are being upgraded?
sleep
🙂 😄
which tool isit? usually if e.g. my pickaxe is being upgraded i'd just go do other activities, e.g. fishing
also no worries there's no stupid qns
I haven’t played for a long time. I’ve played a long time in the time I’ve had the game. I played 167 hours in a month 😭
Check the TV to see if it rains the next day. If it rains the next day, that means that you can water your plants today, then give your watering can to Clint then it rains tomorrow. Then the next day your can will be ready and you can just finish watering then you don’t lose the day of watering like this.
ur plants don't die if they don't get watered, btw, just delays their growth schedule
Does checking the tv for weather lock the weather for next day?
i know, but im close to the summer
If I got a duck (idek if I can own a duck in this game lol) would it give me a duck egg and duck feather for cc?
it's also locked even if u don't check it
Yes
How do I turn my chicken egg into large egg?
ducks can swim too btw in game
It's not calculated by steps?
keep petting ur chickens letting them out to eat grass and keep them happy
used to, now it's not, afaik*
how about differnt geodes do they give different artifactes ( Im just trying to figure out how to get these last 15 artifacts to open up the sewer
So it's pure rng now?
seeded
Oh
like u can start off with a seed that has 18 spring rainy days for example lol
Which animal will govern me wool? Can I have animas with no place to keep them (like how my chicken is in a coop, could I get a chicken without a coop?)
ok can i even unlock the sewer before I can go to the desert ?
Noted
They need something to stay in
Rabbit can give wool. So can sheep, but you really don’t need a sheep.
Yes Those two aren’t related to one another
Ok then I really need to understand how to get these last 15 lol
However, unlocking the desert can help you finish your museum faster
I need more money in this stupid game. I keep buying seeds, and upgrading my tools, and I’m hoarding everything because I need stuff for later in the game, and I’m just making no moneeeyyyy. I’ve been fishing but it’s not good enough!!
Since you can ||trade geodes for troves||
ok so need to unlock the bus which CC is that
Aw man I keep forgetting about the museum.
Vault (top right)
It's just cc but worse
i remember when i was at my first save i buy parsnip and plant them and water them and get to sleep i skiped some days cuz i was thinking they auto watering and the funnest thing i skiped to the first summer i didn't know they will die lol and when i checked on them they was already death lol
O SERIOUSLY Its that easy its just gold
What’s your fishing and farming levels?
Get some animals
Farming 8 fishing 9
I need money for them. I have 73XX
Consistent money
money let's go
😣 rip
Exactly. Everyone is so rich in this game
Once you get fishing 10 for angler and farming 10 for artisan, the fish smoker could be a very good investment for you
Not me lolol
What year are you?
when we first start, we’re all poor
24 lol
10k... 
Guys i saw a big purple thing on my farm.....
Yeah, but you make it back so quick.
Im in y2 too!
You need a gold pickax or higher to break it
its only been day 12 year 1
Getting there will be a pain
It’ll stay there until you break it. Or don’t.
Nice, keep playing
oooo alright kewl
i took a break lol its only been an hour , idk how to get more energy
food.
Eating food
Food gives energy
i mean more energy i thought i saw someone with a longer hunger bar op
Dont exhaust yourself because then the next day you'll only replenish half your energy
ive noticed
||stardrops||
(Unless you level up for the day, then it’s OK)
son im crine
where do i getthat
can I give bouquete to two persons?
Yes
Most newbies don't keep niche mechanics in mind
yeah
google themm…theres ||7|| u can get to achieve ||perfection||
Doesn’t mean I won’t make them aware of it to help them
i think its ||7|| no promises though
It is
OH OK
Stardrop doesn’t need spoiler tag by the way just so yk
Mines, sdv fair, spouse
kewl looking fruit
Oh, thanks
spouse? i have to marry someone ?
oh okay 
its optional 
Yes or you can ||move in Krobus||
For the star drop you have to
OHH yes yes i frogot that about
but i think most people strive to marry but if ur playing co op you can always marry your teammate 
It's optional, but yes you can marry any of the bachelors which include, Shane, Sebastian, Emily, Haley, Sam, Maru, Harvey, Abigail, Alex, Leah.
hshshhss i dont know much about the villagers so ya
That's why i thought of adding the names
Or ||move in Krobus.||
But you'll slowly get to know them
my pfp is from an oc x harvey comic im reading rn 
Ugh I've been obsessed with playing this game i wanna learn everything about everyone
Hehe, shadow boi
Nice
What happened to Elliott and Penny? Lol
i cant decide between going on youtube to watch all the heart events or working for them myself 
welcome!
Imma work for them all myself
One is too boring to remember the other is too malodramatic
As you get more friendship points with others, special cutscenes will unlock and it'll tell you more about them
Stay away from YouTube as much as you can it really ruins your experience in my opinion.
awesooooome
i heard penny and sam are together , his brother said
i play on console so i only use stardew youtube for looking at mods 
No one in the game is explicitly together. It’s just implied they have crushes on one another.
penny feels so flat to me im not sure why
I forgot 
Oh, that’s fair then. I meant like vanilla sdew!
her cutscenes are so boring tbh. in my opinion at least
Just upgraded my shed to the large shed. I placed all the kegs how it shows on the wiki, however I can’t load any of the corner kegs. Is this a bug or something?
She's not very open to the player in the beginning
its hard to choose one npc to marry
we dont actually learn anything about her other than "shes nice and likes kids, and her mother is pam"

If you’re on console or mobile, you’re gonna have to get a little bit creative and use either your right joystick or a joystick button that’s on mobile. Which platform are you on?
I have married sebastian but I've been playing with my ex and he is very much a my way kinda person when i nust wanna take my time and enjoy the game he is like you gotta grind for materials and unlock things
im stuck between haley, shane, and harvey right now but i have 8 hearts with shane..
dich all of them and go for abby lol
I’m playing on mobile, I use the tap to move/auto attack layout but could change it to two button and joystick
Im not a fan of Abigail
You're playing... WITH YOUR EX?!

ugh i dislike abi so much
you know no one told me where the train goes ? ( someone said off a cliff but I dont think they were being truthful
You don’t need to change it just turn on the toggle setting. And you can toggle between touch and joystick.
she eats gems
No one knows they were just being silly hehe
You can play this game however way you want, and what makes you enjoy it. Don't give up your choice for someone's happiness that doesn't matter to you
