So, I've finally picked this up and had a few minutes to play before I had to head out during the day. Now I'm about to restart with a new farm and I'm simply curious if there's any of the different farms that can be considered more useful than the others?

Now I'm about to restart with a new farm and I'm simply curious if there's any of the different farms that can be considered more useful than the others? Most useful is Forest Farm. It regenerates stumps that you can chop up to get hardwood, I think it has a lot more opportunity for foraging, and the ponds have a tiny bit of fish in them as opposed to mountains of Broken CDs. Wilderness is on the opposite end of the spectrum. It's just inconvenient but not so inconvenient that it turns around and makes it interesting.

Sometimes I wish I had set up on river farm so I had good fishing on site, But ya forest farm is where it's at with the on site hardwood. Secret woods also has regenerating stumps but is a walk

Also, you get a shitload more berries from the forest farm. Like, 200 more per season's harvest. Useful for tossing in barrels when you don't have anything else to put in them or as food when you're just starting out, especially once you've gotten the Botanist foraging perk. At this point with nearly 300 hours in the game played, I'd say the three things I'd change/ask for are this: make Fector's Challenge an in-game achievement only, not a steam achievement, because it is counter to everything else the game stands for make bushes removable, why can we chop down trees but can't remove That One loving Bush that blocks you from building in a convenient spot have a cave-style mysterious forest that is randomly generated and is for wood and such as the cave is for mining and ore

You can chop down bushes, though. You just need iron or gold axes. I'm presuming you mean the ones on the farm.

Hell, I would be happy if they unblocked poo poo that had a good business reason behind it instead of ignoring us when we ask on behalf of users. Management gets pretend they're secure and us desktop support guys have to get all the heat from the users and management from all the tickets we can't close quickly due to their obstructionist bullshit.

Everyone else has probably figured this out already, but in a no-Pierre/Joja run, I found a great way to get Mixed Seeds. Level 81 of the mines has a ton of grass on it and it's easy to keep respawning it.

MrSlam posted:Most useful is Forest Farm. It regenerates stumps that you can chop up to get hardwood, I think it has a lot more opportunity for foraging, and the ponds have a tiny bit of fish in them as opposed to mountains of Broken CDs. I played my first save pre-maps and my new save is Forest, and I'm definitely a fan of it. The classic map is great if you're someone who can actually use and manage all of that farming space while also leaving the map often to do your foraging/fishing and somehow get anything done in a day ever, but I'm lazy and most of that open farm land went completely to waste.  Forest farm gives a still-reasonable amount of farming space, infinite amounts of hardwood and some free forage crap right in your yard, plus free mixed seeds that pop up among the weeds which is just 100% profit if you accept that what you'll get is random. I used them a lot my first year and some in my second year, supplementing the specific things I actually needed to grow for bundles and stuff. That money goes towards building/animal/tool investments instead.  You can also plant any kind of tree and place farm buildings on the "unusable" patches of land, so the only way you're really penalized is having a slightly smaller sprinkler kingdom. And yeah, you can get some fish, and it has more crab pot space than the default map. So I'd say forest is the "jack of all trades map for casuals" map, I love it. Fishing map seems like it'd be fun for a gimmick playthrough after you've really gotten tired of dealing with more than the bare minimum of crops. The others don't seem worth it at all.

I've been wondering about that! I have an orchard of fruit trees that are all carefully placed in the yellow dirt cause I was afraid they wouldn't grow. I'm hoping a future patch releases rice patties you can grow on the River Farm.

I took a huge break from the game and my first farm was the default as there were no other options on launch. My current farm is the river which is great for fishing.

MrSlam posted:I've been wondering about that! I have an orchard of fruit trees that are all carefully placed in the yellow dirt cause I was afraid they wouldn't grow. I admit I haven't actually tested every single tree, but all the wild trees do and I have both of the springtime fruit trees up next to my house on grass-tile ground. So it seems like anything that doesn't need the watering can enabled (or any other type of interaction with a dirt tile) is good to go. MrSlam posted:I'm hoping a future patch releases rice patties you can grow on the River Farm. I would really like this, and/or some sort of fish hatchery. That seems like the main drawback of the fishing map, that it gives up a lot of space for something that makes no actual difference whether it's one tiny pond or a big river's worth of space; it's all just squares you can stand next to to play the same fishing minigame with improved loot. You can have hundreds of crab pots, I guess, but that's way more boring than the variety of stuff you get/can do with the "sacrificed" space on the forest farm. A fish hatchery would also be good because that map looks godawful for grass, too. So maybe the other maps could fit 1-2 hatcheries depending on their ponds, and the fishing map could fit tons of them. That would own.

It would be cool if the river farm had different fish spawns, like if you caught river fish in some areas and lake fish in others (like the tiles off the dock or w/e)

I really like the layout/aesthetics of the hilltop farm, I have to admit. So far the only problem I've really had has been when trees fall into the river after getting chopped down, but that hasn't been enough of a downer to bring me to the abandonment stage.

I hoped to somehow get different fish than what you get in town and in the forest.

I just had a dream and I think I know how to unlock the hidden whaling minigame in Stardew Valley. First off go to the abandoned flooded mall beneath town and be sure to have an Octopus. You may have to kill a shark or two, but get to the section that has giant squids. Lure a giant squid over to you with the octopus. For some reason this gives you full control over the giant squid. Use the left mouse button to fling your tentacles at the monsters. You can now hunt other giant squid for more octopus. It's also pretty good for killing sharks. When you're done messing around head to the bigger flooded section. You have to kill all the sharks without dying to get the whale to appear. It takes a lot of hits and it'll start fighting back. You have to dodge its tail and power slams, weaving in and out, but after a while it'll go down. Make it to shore and exit the giant squid and the dead whale will appear within arm's reach. I was able to drag the whale further onto the shore but I can't find the right tool to cut it open for its whale oil. I tried the scythe, I tried the axe, I tried the sword. I was about to leave and go to bed but what if the whale didn't appear the next day? It's not like I can put the whale corpse in my inventory. Does anyone know how to get whale oil?

Two things, the first fortunately was more funny than harmful and I screencapped it: cat's sleeping in front of the door and I can't reach my bed The other one was less funny - while in the two heart event with Abigail where she asked me to help her beat the first level of Raiders of the Lost Farm or whatever it's called I died and spawned inside her character which made it impossible to move!
