I keep forgetting to fertilize, which is unfortunate since I have Literal Stacks of basic fertilizer. About to hit Summer 2, I think I'll roll with Not Corn this time, as handy as it is. (Not least because the Field of Infinite Cranberries will allow me to buy out not just the town, but Jojacorp itself.  How does it feel to threaten the community center now, fuckers?)

there's no need for the mine to have 'secret' levels at the bottom when there's literally an entirely separate dungeon to go through

Fuuuuck it's annoying to miss my overall goal by one detail. I restarted, basically trying to slingshot my way to quality sprinklers by summer 1. Basically everything goes well. I have about 100 tilled hexes, all growing various things, and I've been diving in the mine a lot. Down to level 65 on day 20. For some reason though, I forgot that quality sprinklers are level 6 farming, not level 5. I can probably hit level 5 farming in the next week or so, but level 6 is probably out of the question. I mean it is not bad, per se. I will gain a fair bit of farming xp on the front end of the summer because I will need to reorganize the fields, and since I am already pretty far ahead it likely won't be much past summer 5 when I hit my goal. But drat, almost had it!

busb posted:everyone, because it's good and fun and easy How the hell is it easy to control that green bar thingy when its acceleration and deceleration curves are so drat insane. Click a bit, doesn't move. Click a bit more, it's overshooting the gently caress out. Let it go back down. Try to catch it. Press a bit, it not slowing down at all. Press some more, it's going the gently caress up again. I can't even start trying to track the fish's movement because I can't loving keep the thing level. E: Like, the basic theory is fine, it's a serviceable if not particularly compelling minigame, but an actually sane implementation wouldn't have loving exponential acceleration on the goddamn thing. If you overshoot, even a tiny bit, you've basically given up control until the thing settles again. The track's too short so you can't even let it coast to the right place.

You should get non-special fishes 100% of the time, and the weird ones (that move around much more) pretty reliably. Related: What do better rods actually do, mechanically?

better rods let you actually use stuff like bait and tackle, which can make things better/easier. i don't know if they actually increase your fishing skill. leveling fishing itself does a lot.

Do better rods make the green bar longer or is that just from leveling fishing? I've been doing both at about the same time so I can't really tell what came from what.

Same, this was basically my doubt. I think that comes from skill, because the Iridium rod doesn't seem much better.

i think leveling fishing is what does the most for your actual fishing skill. tackles for the iridium rod can actually be pretty helpful but they're not essential.

Is it me or I have to redo my settings and keybinds for each savefile? E: just so I'm not entirely bitching I must say there's something really pleasant in using the scrollwheel and left click to do your farming. Kyte fucked around with this message at 09:42 on Mar 4, 2016 |

Just picked this up based on the hype. I've never played Harvest Moon. I'm 15 days in and a bit overwhelmed with choices. Not sure what I should be doing other than I decided the townsfolk are mostly jerks except the homeless guy who I've befriended. I bring him food as often as I can on the way to the dungeon.

 It seems to be spring 15, and I haven't gotten the cutscene for the community center to open- is it a bit randomized? I don't want to think that it's bugged because this playthrough is going so well. I'll give it a couple more days.

Some googling says some people haven't had it trigger until nearly two weeks of spring or more have passed, so I'm gonna give it two more days then dig around in the save file and hope I find some kind of "community center open yes" bracket.

Wiki says you have to talk to Morris and refuse his offer of Joja membership first. I don't know how accurate that is, but I did that while trying to find all the townies.

Where the gently caress is Alice? I found her axe but can't see her on the map or find her by stumbling around at the pace of frozen molasses. (Do you ever get something to make you move faster?)

You can use coffee (Always available at the saloon) to get around quicker, or make pepper poppers.

Kyte posted:Jesus loving christ who the gently caress thought that fishing minigame was a good idea. Anyway, finally crafted my first improved sprinkler. I've got no known sources of gold at the moment so it looks like I'm stuck with paying Clint for the pleasure, but it's as good a time as any to start rotating out my scarecrow army. Autumn's just around the corner so I'll be sure to set aside the last few days for redesigning my farm around having fewer D&D posters standing silent vigil. Looking long term, I've started storing up wheat for whenever brewing gets unlocked. Your crops never spoil, right? Dunno how long I'll have to wait to get starting distilling moonshine, but if your crops can go bad then it'd probably be in my best interest to offload my supply ASAP.

Disappointed that using potatos in the keg makes 'potato juice' instead of bathtub vodka, but otherwise loving the game. Edit: If I put garlic in a keg, will it make... garlic juice? Dare I try?

Random rear end in a top hat posted:Disappointed that using potatos in the keg makes 'potato juice' instead of bathtub vodka, but otherwise loving the game. You could always mod in brewing variety. Or add in a moonshiners bathtub that really brings out the "will this make me go blind" quality of hooch. And maybe even make it something you can only sell to the smuggler trader because gramps ain't touching anything illegal.

^^An excellent idea, I'm terrible at modding but might give it a try anyway. Add in some periodically-exploding stills while I'm at it. Also, if I'm doing the math right (data taken from the wiki), Starfruit Wine should sell for 2400g - 3600 with Artisan! Not loving bad, for an initial investment of 400g. Guess I know what I'm growing other then hops next summer.

Speaking of mods to add variety, did the developer talked about adding new content to the game? Coming from Rune Factory: Tides of Destiny, it seems pretty sparse, specially the crafting part. I understand is a one-man effort and I'm nitpicking, but whatever.

Next summer I'm just gonna plant all Star Fruits. Their g/day is ridiculous, and they take 13 days to grow, so they require little maintenance.

The Moon Monster posted:So if I upgrade my watering can will I have no can for a few days? You can still water your crops if you upgrade the day before it rains. Day 0: Water your crops, upgrade your can Day 1: Rain! Day 2: Go pick up your can, water your crops. Otherwise, you just lose a day of growth. No big deal.
