I feel like watering crops is pretty obvious in a farming RPG that hands you a watering can on the first day.

I really liked old HM games but when I'm playing a game like this I just wanna chill sometimes and not always be on the clock, so going down the mines was a cool way to relax.

It's always running, which sucks.

You probably need the dwarfish translation guide. I got it as a reward for donating all the dward scrolls, which are random monster drops.

Sailing The Seven Seas Searching For Scurvy

A packet of ten seeds is made from one of each foraged plant, so it's a really good deal.

Ah drat. I didn't realize that until too late, already harvested and sold the big pack I got for the bundle. Two weeks of winter left... I guess I'll forage and see how many seed packs I can save up for next winter.

In prepping for spring I have enough iridium for six large sprinklers so far and enough metal for however many small ones I can stand. Coal is the most limiting factor.

I think I'll make seasonal chest sets somewhere, one for seeds/fertilizer and the other to save some dozen or so of each crop for those random quests.

Farming plan for year two is to have one or two huge cash crops then a couple plots each of every other type to start rounding out collections/quests.

Time is always running (save for cutscenes/festivals) but there is literally no fail state, you can't miss out on quests, marriage, or story.

Also, the mine saves your progress every 5 levels with an elevator, so you don't need to get to the bottom in one day.

Well... Rushing to Mines lvl 40 is important because Iron is a bitch to obtain.


I feel as if certain aspects haven't been balanced well, you can easily get the iridium rod and >+5 fishing by end of spring, but it takes forever to grind up copper and iron to upgrade other components and then certain components like the watering can are pointless if you can craft sprinklers.

I'm fishing 90% High Quality fish and I wish I could just catch some regular ones as turning these fish into sashimi is a huge waste of money :negative:


I mean, I wasn't going to sell them anyway because I need to feed the entire town sashimi every week but the potential money loss..!



e: and like who would even use good fish for sashimi, that's what the worst fish is for :shepface:

Where do you actually build a silo anyway? A lot of people advising to build one before a chicken coop, but the carpenter only has upgrade house or chicken coop, and it's not in my crating menu far as I can tell.

There's arrows in the Farm upgrades section at the carpenter that you use to get to other buildings.

Hnnnggg. Between CA talking about ideas for additional content and the potential for modding I'm so goddamn stoked about this game's future. It's already the chillest game I've ever played. I can't really overstate how much loving character and style this game has. I just love it.

Maybe I should look into learning to mid this thing. Maybe ore plants of some kind or something.

Edit: I know it's way early, but how promising do the modding tools look so far? I've seen API releases here and there so I'm hopeful.

Small caveat. If you go, say, seven levels then get beat up you lose all progress for that trip. I'm guessing if you go up the elevator at the fifth level then go back down it is saved. But not tested that yet.

I just started Winter of Year 1 and completed the dungeon, so now I'm hunting for more iridium to make more sprinklers (only have two). How do I get to the desert dungeon? I'd like to use the winter to mine the gently caress out of it so I don't have to manually water anything ever again.

If you look at the coop, at the bottom of the picture you should see a left and right arrow which cycles available buildings.

You have to get the bus running, which is done by finishing the Vault area of the community center.

It's one of those things where either you rush before winter for it, or you plan to use it for year three.

Yup. One tip I can give that helped me is that Gold bars sell for 250 each. If you run the last 5 levels of the dungeon over and over (which you have ample time to do during the winter) you will get a ton of gold ore, as well as gems and various random stuff from the crates. It doesn't take as long as you'd think.

Hmm, okay where/how do I submit a bug report? I managed to accidentally eradicate a bunch of hay through a complicated/retarded series of events.

Basically I thought I'd be clever and stash a big stack of hay in a chest the first year so I didn't have to build a second silo and so so much of the starting grass didn't go to waste. Which works fine unless you feed your chickens and then go back to grab more. Clicking the dispenser while you're holding the hay just slams it back in there I think, but if you've switched to a tool the rest you take out doesn't stack with what's already in your inventory, it just vanishes into the void somewhere.
