Gets you 2-4 more fish per 10 minutes depending on how good you are and how short you cast the line. (You'll need an active quest for this to work though.) Aha, interesting! I have a quest (Emily wants an Apricot) and I'm using kb+m, so I'll check it out. Thanks!

I figure the rabbits foot is just a clump of matted fur or something. It's kind of what it looks like, put on a keychain.

If you hit the "!" just as you collapse into sleep the animation is interrupted and you can continue playing for a bit.

Back when the game first came out, there was a mod that I used all the time, and I can't seem to find it any more. I can't remember its name, but if you had a chest next to a machine, it would automagically take ingredients from the chest, produce the finished product (bars, mayo, etc) and re-deposit it back into said chest. Anyone remember the name of this mod or know of a similar one?

It's never a bad idea to do mine runs collecting materials to make Mega Bombs so you can actually get to the lower floors in the desert dungeon.

I prefer normal bombs to mega bombs since normal bombs cost half as much. You just drop them more often when needed. Much of the mega bombs extra explosion area gets wasted anyway.

I'm mixed, gold ore is easier to come by in skull caverns compared to iron for crafting bombs. But if you're purchasing them from the dwarf, then it's 400 gold saved per bomb. In the mines I usually have both because the Burglar Ring causes regular bombs to drop more often from Serpents.

Trast posted:Planting winter seeds can actually be really profitable. This, you can perpetuate it as well by crafting the first few harvests. It's also the only way to keep earning Foraging XP when winter comes as trees don't grow. Winter is a good time to fish, stock up on hardwood from the secret forest and mine. Sap is also still produced from mature trees, so you can get Oak Resin all season provided you have some trees still left.

Winter is when I mine and fish a bit, but I also stockpile during other seasons so my cheese/jam/wine production keeps going so I'm still making money. It's also when I remodel on the farm. I have big plans for winter this time around, I need summer to end soon!

Gonna buy the game for my dad and see if he can get into it. He's okay at 2D games as long as they're not fast-paced. Gonna install a few mods for him though like NPC locations and Harvest with Scythe I explained the premise to him on a long car ride and he said he'd try it as long as he could be a hermit and didn't have to interact with anybody  fake edit: "Son, why is this young woman dressed like a cow?"

I thought that was fixed with the SMAPI mod. I've been using it the past week and it seems to be gaining xp fine. Still though I don't want to take any chances. I think I'll just let him use vanilla for a while.

"yeah pretty normal actually" "wow, screw that guy."

You don't leave the winter forage you yank it up and sell it for a poo poo ton of money.

Crystal fruit wine is also good and can help that first year when your short of wine ingredients. Iridium quality just about doubles the sell price but is still worth it.

winter forage doesn't technically stay in the ground once mature anyway, no forage does. you will get a lot of tilled soil loss from growing forage all the time you could plant it and then leave it without watering it though i guess

My quest for a dorado...complete! Hit a lucky day and said screw it to watering my crops early and after catching every chub in the river it finally came out. Next up: befriending Sandy. Maybe getting enough iridium to upgrade my tools. Maybe...upgrading my house again? Who knows!

Lightning rod question: The wiki says you have a 50% chance to get a battery from a storm. Does number of rods matter? (Is there a cap on strikes?)

Do the lightning rods actually prevent other stuff from being destroyed or is that just my Don't Starve brain wires getting crossed?

Eeeh, you can farm winter forage if you want to boost your levels a bit (Crystal berries make for good wines/jams). But the snow makes it a lot easier to go artifact hunting, and some of the fish you can find are rather useful. Other than that, horse around. Maybe plant trees for the Summer harvest.

They're easier to see and you get more worms(although it's because part of the winter forage is found in worm tiles, so I'm not sure you actually find more artifacts in winter). That's it, really.

yeah, more of them pop up. also I bought the second house upgrade and all of my floors and wallpapers got reset to the default, except my old bedroom wallpaper is now the one panel between the new room and the nursery?
