Yeah okay fine heh, but a few more questions (I loves me some fishing):

1. Does the distance you cast from shore matter, if there are no bubbles?
2. Does a "perfect" have any effect? Does it increase the odds of better fish?
3. Do "streaks" matter?
4. Is the quality of fish mainly determine by your luck for the day?

Yes, yes*, not sure what this is, I don't know - I've only noticed this with treasure chests spawning.

* - With the fair minigame, getting perfects on your catches gets you a multiplier tacked on your score.

Wait, I thought letting them outside to feed on grass by themselves replaced the hay feeding

Yes, this is how it works. Hay is what you using during winter or when the weather isn't great. You still need to interact with all your animals though.

This is kind of a spoilery question. It involves the final step of the quest chain you start in the dark bus tunnel.

The quest step says to give the sand dragon its last meal. I found what I assume is the sand dragon in the desert. The flavor text seems to infer that it is trying to eat the sun. I can only assume I'm meant to feed it a sunflower?

This quest chain is not particularly good.

I haven't done too much progress on it myself, it starts with a battery then a rainbow shell. I haven't gotten a shell as of yet so I'm stuck there for the time being.

Yeah, I got stuck at the Rainbow Shell as well. Apparently you can only find that during the summer, and I found the quest early fall.

You need a Battery, a Rainbow Shell, 10 Beets, and a Solar Essence.

The beet seeds are sold by the vendor in the desert, and only grow in Fall.

Can I just keep the coop door open 24/7 or will my chickens run off or die of exposure or something

And do I need a heater in there?

Also the chargeup time for the upgraded 1x3 or whatever tools makes them practically more annoying to do than just going tile by tile. If it was instant and inherent that they do more per click it would be worth something. Does the watering can use 3x the water per charge or are you using 1 tiles worth of water for each 3 you charge down?

Also also no scythe upgrade?

Also also also how the hell do I grow trees? I finally figured out that to plant them you do it on untilled soil to stop getting the "wrong season" message. I think I'm leaving way too much room between them but whatever. Do pathways (gravel, cobblestone, wood) count as taking up a tile? I want to have walkways all inbetween them but I don't know if they will grow with paths on the adjacent tiles. Do I need to water them?

Sometimes you reach a stalemate. Sometimes you get magic horses.
I am laughing at the people who are wondering who is stealing from you when you pass out. It will become quite obvious as you continue to play and explore.

Also, tiller and agriculturalist together are broken as poo poo. I'm only utilizing 1/3rd of the farm and by spring 2 I brought in 200k and for summer 2 I'm going to be bringing in about 500-600k. The 35% reduction in crop growth with deluxe growth fertilizer + 10% price increase = stupid profit when you farm in bulk. All you have to do is set up a bunch of sprinklers and you can just churn out 1000+ plants every 2-6 days and only need to spend the first day of the season tilling. The harvest/planting only takes you until 9 to complete, and can be done sooner if you drink some coffee before doing it.

Fish Exploit Discovered! Near-Timeless Fishing!

1. Cast Line
2. Click Quest Menu [ ! ]
3. Wait. . .
4. Hear Caught Fish Noise, Click off Menu
5. Play Fishing Minigame
6. Repeat

Doing this makes it so you're only out of a pause clock for 3-7 seconds. You can get about 8-10 catches an hour, double to triple what you would normally get. This also means bait is useless because you don't have to worry about fish taking forever to find the hook.


Now I feel bad for discovering it.

You can keep the coop door open 24/7, I would, however, make a pen to keep the chickies corralled because you need to right click them for attention. Otherwise, no they can be free range.

You don't have to have a heater, however it'll keep them happy in winter.

No scythe upgrade.

Can confirm this. You have to click the quest menu though, pressing the key on a gamepad doesn't work.

Is it just me or are sprinklers way too cheap to make. I've been saving my quartz and have like 120 or so and i could spend half a days harvest on ores and make like 20 of the second sprinklers

Well I can't decide if I should go with Fisher or Trapper. Fisher (and then to +50%) at Level 10 seems strictly better but I haven't used crab traps or anything yet so maybe they yield good money?

Crab pots I use mostly to get lobster for Elliot and stocking my fridge with (shell)fish. They're not a good source of money, especially compared to straight up fishing.

If I upgrade a tool, is it two days from the day I upgrade it (so, the day I hand it to him plus the next one) or is it two days after that day (a total of three)? This is important because it's raining in the summer and maybe this time I won't gently caress up upgrading my watering can

Check the weather, if it's going to rain tomorrow, then finish watering your plants today, go upgrade it. In two days, or the day after it will rain, you will have your can back.

In news from my farm, I think the dog can't walk through a one-square gap because I think I've trapped it behind my kegs. I might have to move one. I'm realizing from what y'all are posting that my farm is super unoptimized and with the mine cleared* and the remaining fish I need for bundles stuck in different seasons/weather/areas, I might spend more time now expanding it and laying it out better. I may go for Barn or Super Coop but I think I need a better grass solution for cows/sheep, and I don't want to have to be buying hay from the super inconsistent Marnie all the time.

The "no trash loot" perk doesn't appear to be working for me. I have around 20 pots setup in the river and I'm still getting junk all of the time. Which is fine. I don't really mind that much, because it is giving me a surplus of quartz, but I was hoping for an excess of lil shellfish dudes instead.
