It's silly! buy it, gotta spend money to make money and the kegs only take 1 iron so it's not like it takes long to work it off. if you're opposed to that then youll want to just do 40-70, altho i find 50-60 and looping a bit more lucrative. i usually use bombs to save time clearing out large clusters Sloober fucked around with this message at 16:06 on Apr 23, 2024 |

Well I buy mostly rhubarb seeds from Sandy for however much I can't fill with ancient fruit, but if you like to grow other spring stuff in year 2 then yes you'll just have to keep that much money aside for Spring 1 purchase.

If anyone is running short on wood don't forget the machine Robin sells for 5k that turns hardwood into normal wood. It also works with driftwood. Its not the solution to wood problems but it does help.

In theory it should have good synergy with mahogany trees, but in practice they grow too slowly to help much. They're great if you have the forest farm with the daily hardwood stumps to feed to the chippers. Sadly there's no warp totem for the secret woods for those of us on other farm types. As it is, it's more efficient to just keep a forest on your farm or in the quarry to fertilize and chop on the regular.

Oxyclean posted:Saving up for expensive poo poo makes me not get why people want to play with reduced income or similar mods that make money harder. I'm doing a normal game with my wife and we have played enough that the community center was unlocked by the first week of winter, then the island right after that. The island was annoying that early as we still had a bunch of other stuff to finish on the mainland and it made the island feel like a chore. For the income reduction game, I am forcing a slower progression to keep the scrappy early game longer and spread out the grind (as there is still a grind for money for like the bus unlock) but there will probably be a big late game grind to get some of the expensive stuff. By then i expect the island farm will be 100% ancient fruit and kegs that I check once a week. Less income also means I am selling stuff directly to Pierre some days and now hit the dialogue from the villagers where he is taking credit for all your hard work so it is time to start gifting him trash

Okay I Kramered into Clint's and dropped half a mil on a stack of 999 coal and 999 iron ore. Also commissioned a second shed. It is keg o'clock baby! Also somebody mentioned putting bee houses to the west of the island farm for fairy rose honey. I don't know why I never thought of doing that holy poo poo.

Speaking of Clint: In my newer save file I received a piece of mail from Clint asking me to deliver an iron ingot to him for "scientific research". Bitch, metalsmithing is your job; why should I dip into my limited supply of iron ore for you?

Lewis only gives a poo poo about loving around and getting paid. Man was probably taking kickbacks from Joja to get the mart built. Kent had to go to war, Emily and Haley's parents are absent. The Mulleners are too old to contribute. And Jas and Vincent too young. Demetrius too wrapped up in his science, Robin's too busy, Clints a selfish isolated prick, Pierre only supports things that will drive business. Just the entire community avoiding the responsibility of maintaining the space until farmer showed up. gently caress, it's lucky Gunther's such a G or the library would also be gone.

Okay, for the first time I'm going to try to do the Skull Cavern mines. In my previous runs, I've gotten down a couple of floors, gone gently caress this, and left. Can you guys help me understand the strategy? I made lots of bombs, read the dwarf book that makes you more bomb-resistant, made as many staircases as I had stone (not all that much). The best weapons I have are The Slammer club and Yeti Tooth sword. Do I need to buy the Lava Katana to have a chance? And how the hell do you deal with the undying bugs? And at what level does iridium start showing up?

Gunther spends all his spare time writing and submitting grant proposals just so he can keep the lights on, because he's not getting anything out of the municipal budget. That's why we can't befriend him.

Yes get the lava katana. Check the fortune teller on the tv and go on a day when the spirits are in good humor. In addition to stairs and bombs also bring plenty of healing items, a stack of cheese is a good one. If you have some spare rubies, trade them to the deset trader for some spicy eels, and on sunday you can buy more staircases with jade. What I do is spawn into the floor, drop a bomb onto a cluster of rocks, whack things that fly at me until it explodes and hopefully reveals stairs or a hole, if not I drop another bomb and keep whacking. If it's a crap floor layout like a long corridor or a monster infested floor I drop stairs and go to the next one. Ignore the bugs.

Do you have a prismatic shard yet? Sometimes you can get lucky with one from the Mines. If you do, you can get a better sword immediately. Else the Lava Katana would be a smart buy. Good Caverns strategy is don't waste time on enemies. Just bomb and if you don't see the stairs or a hole within the first 5-10 seconds of looking, use a staircase. Also, jump in all holes but be ready to heal in case it's a big drop. There are enemies in the Caverns who will start attacking you almost immediately upon entering a floor. I would say iridium nodes start to show up past level 20 and become increasingly common past level 40. Close to level 100 you can expect probably 5+ nodes per floor.

Post ginger island you can get a weapon enchant that kills mummies instantly, but until then yea need to bomb them. Prismatic shard, hold it and stand between the three pillars in the desert.
