I'm on a diet and today is a fast day. No talking of food for 24 hours.

Edit: Talking about bolk choy, goat cheese, kale, all the flowers is fine. So is radishes, peas, turnips and other gross vegetables.


Also on another note. Kale just being an inferior form of spinach. Do you think it sells on the name alone? I mean if someone said "add 4 leaves of spinach to the smoothie" people would just think it was gross. Even though kale is the same thing just with a lower nutritional value.

Er... this isn't really accurate. They provide more of different things. Spinach is higher in folate, while Kale is higher in several vitamins (A, C, K, B6) and minerals (Manganese, Copper, Calcium). They're both good, they're simply good in different ways.

<click> <click> What is it with this dancing?! Bouncing around like fools... I would have thought my own kind at least would understand the seriousness of our Adventurer's Guild!

Summer has begun and I have a patch of Deluxe Speed-Gro Starfruit going, plenty of Coffee bushes for making that, a couple rows of Hops, and miscellany. I'm also slowly replacing the Blueberries/Strawberries I have in my greenhouse with Ancient Fruit trees. I'm just trying to get a large foothold of cash before I'm able to finish the Fish Tank next Fall. And speaking of which, I need to dedicate a couple of days to fishing up the Tilapia in the mornings.

I'm also working on maxing affection with everyone. Had a hit to that when I picked the jerkoff option in Pierre's 6-heart event, but I'll get back there. Plenty of villagers and bachelors are already maxed. Mostly fellows like Alex, Penny, Willy, and now Pierre and such are low.

It's been fun going back to this. A good distraction with all the big news coming out right now that's causing lots of anxiety.

What's the most automated way of making money, assuming a million in capital but not using spirit slave labor?

Rather, what pays out a lot for what amounts to be little work, assuming resources for complex infrastructure. Wine making? Gem duplication?

I went the ancient fruit -> wine route since it's just cycling stuff into kegs and casks one day a week.

Wine making require at least a little work in harvesting crops. Gem duplication would be the lowest effort way to make money, or Truffle Pigs. You are not going to make as much money per day with gems or pigs, but you will make more money in real time if you just wake up, grabs gems, then go to bed.

A couple of questions about watering / seeding:

1. If you plant a seed in already-watered soil, do you need to water it again that day?
2. Does it matter what time of day you water / plant seed?
3. Do unlucky days stunt some of your crops?

I ask because I've been seeing cases where one crop or (once) half of a given crop grew a day late, and it's impossible that they were not watered every day. I can't find definitive information anywhere, just speculation.

Sometimes I miss a patch of dirt with fertilizer and it causes a plant to bloom late. Not sure if that is specifically your problem but I thought I would mention it.

No it doesn't. Possibly a bug or a missed watering. There are events that can screw with crops but they have cut scenes associated with them.

Well, yeah, but Juno is a story about a pregnancy. Fargo is a crime drama where the capable cop main character also happens to be pregnant. Like, Juno isn't doing rad skate tricks while pregnant or anything, but Marge is literally solving a crime and arresting people while pregnant.

I spent a year giving people sashimi twice a week and talking to them almost every day. By the end of year 1 I had one person at 10 hearts, 2 at 8, and 2 at 6-7. If I had tried a bit better to give better gifts and track birthdays, I probably could have gotten multiple people to 10/10 by Christmas.

By end-game, it'll only matter if it takes one less hit to kill monsters or knockdown mummies.

and fwiw i don't think any of the galaxy equipment is near those break points for most monsters. you might be able to hit something with galaxy hammer + fighter -> brute, which is something like +40% over the galaxy sword with scout -> desperado.

Does it have the right click of the other clubs? If so, it's probably not bad but is a bit more cumbersome than a sword.

Finally getting serious about fishing (in year 4!). Caught the Angler shortly before the patch, and now I've added the Mutant Carp and Glacierfish to the collection.

Mind you, Glacierfish was hard enough with level 9 fishing, Fish Stew and the Trap Bobber, goodness knows what the Legend will be like.

Fishing minigames are usually pretty nice in games but I found Stardew's especially fun and cool, though apparently it isn't at all popular.
I think of all fish in the game so far, the Glacierfish probably gave me the most trouble, followed by Lava Eel and then Scorpion Carp. Lava Eel startled the poo poo out of me when I first encountered it, because I had level 4 fishing and still only using the bamboo rod, i'd just been catching regular old ocean and river fish and I decide "I wonder if I can fish in this weird red water". Turns out I could and the local residents play a mean game of Super Wiggle Worm, caught me off guard pretty bad.

It's not a bad one as far as fishing minigames go. However, to get any appreciable amount of fish can be just mind numbing, and gets tedious at times. The tough boss fish can be fun though.

I think I'd mind the tough boss fish if they weren't so rare and if some of their movements weren't just outright unbeatable. Oh great, I hit the 1/25 chance of pulling in this fish instead of trash! Oh no, it instantly moved to a place that I literally couldn't have reached before the reel timer ran out even if I just held the mouse button down.

The boss fish are for rank 10 fishing with proper equipment and can only be found in specific spots, so it's not like you can't avoid them if you're not ready.

I got the legend first try. Lobster bisque and trap bobber made for a hell of a fight but I wore him down

1. If you plant a seed in already-watered soil, do you need to water it again that day?
2. Does it matter what time of day you water / plant seed?

is no. You can plant / water after 12 pm and plant in pre-watered soil and not interrupt the growth cycle.

yea this is my primary problem with the fishing minigame. i kinda feel like you should have to fight each new kind of fish a maximum of like, 5 times or whatever, and after that it's just auto-catch. it's silly to just immediately land the lunkers but i get so tired of wrestling every single loving minnow that bites my bait.

And there you sat, eating hamburgers while the world cried.
Maybe there'd be a threshold of total fish caught to where it starts to auto-catch, or the specific fish. You've caught 50 minnows, you don't have to worry about the minigame anymore.

Or after you reach that threshold there's a cutscene where Gil, the Wizard, and Willy meet with you to talk about a nasty fish monster that appeared in the mines. You go and kill the fish monster, and combine whatever he drops with a prismatic shard ala the Wizard and you're given Super-Bait. Super-Bait never runs out and auto-catches the fish and the first time you use it you get the Master Baiter achievement.

Fishing manually is supposed to be a chill hobby. If you want to get serious about profit you need crab pots. They should let you build a fish wheels on the river map to auto-catch fish, just like crabs:
