I care 0% about any "progression curve" and I'm not playing this for a challenge/"game experience" so slowing the time down a bit suits me perfectly v v At 10 sec instead of 7 sec it becomes just a liiiitle bit more sandboxy and that makes it all the better to chill out with.e: people have misunderstood me before, those are not "scare quotes" I just tend to use quotation marks a lot.

Someone Awful! posted:So is it impossible to get married in the winter? I'm guessing snow doesn't count the same as rain to make the marriage necklace guy show up. You can get married in winter, but you have to have bought the necklace in one of the other months. I bought the necklace Fall 24 and gave it to Abby on Winter 1.

Still loving this, a few questions. 1.) How does Grass/Hay work? I want to start being a mostly livestock farm with random sprinkler crops. In HM64 you planted grass seeds, didn't need to water them, and they just slowly grew forever, even persisting through winter. I feel like I planted a bunch of grass in summer, then chopped it and it's just...gone? There's no way that's how it works, it's so expensive and slow. 2.) So do sprinklers just water every day without fail? I haven't made any, just got them as some reward, but I'm going to maker a bunch. Do the Iron Sprinklers water in a grid like this: XXX XSX XXX 3.) So when I get cows/sheep, they'll just automatically come out and graze everyday until 6, then go back in? In HM64 you had to manually push their asses in and out of the barn, which was terrible. 4.) The fishing mini-game sucks. Fishing sucks. This one isn't really a question.

I figure I'll find out eventually so I'm doing what works, and animals do not work for me vOv edit: Case in point, I just woke up to the message that the spreading weeds have caused damaged to my farm. I go outside to find a branch has apparenly fallen from space and smashed a plot of land. There are no fences, trees or anything at all nearby. Why did this happen? Could I have prevented it?

Like my daily routine is leave the house, walk into coop pet chickens, pick up eggs leave, go into barn, milk and pet cows, leave and open the barn and coop doors, run by my 6 mayo and 6 cheese machines place the items in. I'm done by 7am usually.

You can tend to your animals+check 20 crab pots+harvest some wood/hard wood+put all that stuff into proper artisan processing/chests by 10am. Without the crab pots by 8am. And I am talking 36 animals here. My planting strategy is just to do pretty much nothing except hoe+fertilize+plant for the first 3 days of a month (however long it takes to use 1000-1200 seeds). I still pet the animals but sometimes I don't even milk the cows on these days. You also need to count your sprinklers and make sure you have enough seeds because the shop isn't open on wednesday. I have 158ish tier2 sprinklers right now and I crafted most during the first winter. Admittedly if I had played smarter in spring/summer/fall I'd have had a lot of them for fall. A few tier1 for odd jobs like flowers near bee hives, and I have a few iridium sprinklers that I purchased after I had 100k+ sitting around while constantly building stuff and with a full field planted. But, my green house won't finish until my fall year 2 harvest because I'm a big idiot so I don't have a million ancient fruits planted. Year 3 I plan on planting pretty much nothing except food and gift items. Then I'll just coasting on that green house/animal/fruit tree (1 of each just because) money.

I basically just shut my barn/coop doors once the animals go to sleep so I can just pet them all in the morning. I guess I'm not really feeling the pressure. I'm halfway into first fall, I've got 2 chickens, the first upgrade to my house, only really grow crops in the corner immediately around my house. I keep my two chickens in a coop/pasture south of the tiny pond, and in the northwest corner I've got 6 tapped trees and some grass. Also back in spring my first upgraded tool was the axe and I did a sweep of the farm just clearing rocks, stumps and shrubs, which appears to have caused the entire southwest of my farm to turn into a solid mass of trees with saplings filling in the spaces between proper trees. I only just hit level 40 in the mine and I only have like one sprinkler up. My only regret is not getting iron sooner for bee houses. I bought enough iron ore from Clint for a recycling machine, though. Those 3 crab pots the spirits gave me for one of the bundles do spit out a fair bit of trash My biggest complaint about the SNES Harvest Moon was always that it just ended, here, I can just bumble around at my own pace to my heart's content. So relaxing

Your Computer posted:I just started my second year and other than LARGE SCALE INDUSTRIAL FARMING I plan to try my hand at animal husbandry. I already have a coop and a silo, but the posts here make it seem like animals eat unsustainable amounts of food. Is there a list or a chart or something out there than I can refer to? For those of you making walled off areas for your animals, got any pictures of the logistics? Petting them improves output, yeah. Once you hit Farming 10, animals become sustainable sources of income even if you buy 100% of your feed from Marnie (when she's doing her goddamn job ). Just turn all your eggs into mayonnaise and all your milk into cheese.The Special Chicken is a ripoff, tragically. I'm still raising two, but you can't make anything from the eggs to improve yield. A couple rabbits for wool and, presumably, feet are worthwhile too.

Keep in mind Mayo is about a guaranteed 100 gold at day minimum per chicken, and happy chickens give large eggs which make better mayo.

DurosKlav posted:Green house is annoying. I'm sure a min maxer can make better use but just from some quick tinkering I couldnt figure out a way to fully use all the land inside it. If crops never expire and fertilizer works on ancient seeds during the 8 day regrowth period (cutting it to 6) and fertilizer doesn't expire in the greenhouse between seasons: They are the best to fill it with. If crops never expire and fertilizer doesn't work on ancient seeds: A combination of hops+ancient seeds is technically the best. But hops are annoying and a daily thing while ancient fruit is either 6 days or 8 days depending on whether the speed-gro works on it or not. Hops are 450g/day/tile and ancients are like 560/day/tile if fertilizer works 422/day/tile if not. The only other thing that comes close is the rare seed. They are 750/day/tile with the tier2 speed-gro but you can't replenish the seeds without cutting into profits. At 3 per fruit (66% yield) they are 500g/day with the longest replant which is ideal. But I don't know if you can force 3 per fruit with luck or farming or whatever food. No idea. At 50% yield they're 375/day and not worth it. I'd personally just put the deluxe speed-gro and put ancient seeds down. It's guaranteed to not suck even if the speed-gro doesn't work. Then you make it into wine and it's money money money. If you don't have +50% artisan you lose lots of money. edit: To get enough ancient seeds you just shove the fruit in the seed machine. It's very much a delayed thing, but once it's online you should be rolling in the dough. Cranberries/Blueberries are 216/day (288) and 270/day (360) respectively if you make wine out of all their stuff. That takes significantly more equipment for less returns than even hops.

I've started fresh a couple of times now and it seems that fishing constantly for at least the first week is a great way to get set up. Also, the iridium rod doesn't seem worth it unless you are trying to catch a legendary fish. You catch the same quality fish with the same ability just using a fiberglass rod (the bait is really handy though, so def get the fiberglass one). I also found the community center to be a bit of a pain in the rear end unless you focus very strongly on completing the seasonal crops/fish/quality crops and spring forageables in spring. And continue doing so each season afterwards, if you miss spring you'll be kicking yourself all winter. (it's nice to be done by winter)

It's not really hard to idly do the foraging while wandering around (gently caress snow yams tho) or keep in mind the four crops you'll need to do, which you should ideally be doing at least a few of all of them anyway.
