Ranching also increases the price of artisan goods. Artisan goods are your actual money maker, via honey and jams and so on.

I figure by the time I manage to build all the artisan machines for constant production I won't feel so cash poor.

I ran out of hops about half way into winter and now I am making wines and they seem to take much longer to ferment, naturally. Still, I like the idea of converting my little bit of everything farm into a wine and cheese luxury vineyard.

I like how multi-use things like the preserves jar and keg can be(going to cross my fingers and try putting honey in the keg come spring). Was a little disappointed I built this oil machine and couldn't figure out what to do with it, I guess there are actual truffles and these mushrooms in my cave won't work? Can I get olive trees?

Gotta have pigs to find truffles and make truffle oil. No olive trees, sorry to say.

I tried giving the mermaid pendant to Harvey, but it ended up being placed on the ground, and he bumped into it enough times for it to break. The dude who sold it hasn't been back since. Did I permanently gently caress up? I'm still in the first year so restarting isn't a big deal.

I finally managed to mod the time a bit slower and I'm it's everything I dreamed of :kimchi: Now I can dillydally, do a bit of fishing, eat some delicious home-cooked food to keep my energy up, talk to people, water my plants, all in a days work.

Quick question; I plan on making an apple orchard, do you have to sow the seeds at the beginning of a season or will they live through a change? It's almost winter and I heard they'll still grow during winter but I'm not sure if the fall->winter change will kill them off.



e: also, I just got a scene in Pam and Penny's trailer and it hit way too close to home :smith:

re: ranching, basically the only way it can work right now is if you clear your land very early and use a lot of grass starters similarly early. you need most of your unused land growing grass to create a sufficient amount of fodder for your livestock by winter, and even then it is going to be close. there's no 'oh well maybe i'll just cut a little -' no, motherfucker. you do not cut grass until it has completely taken over at least a 3x3 area and has nowhere else to go. that's the only way that poo poo works. you think that nice little patch of grass you've got is enough? spoilers, it isn't. you want a goddamn tallgrass prairie out there and gently caress yes it will be a colossal pain in your dick or dick analog to make sure nothing is interfering with your hobo lawn.

realistically you should be getting hay * your sickle level or something, to actually give you a reason to upgrade the loving thing.

anyway, with how things are programmed right now, ranching is basically a second year thing all around. i've written off getting a coop until the second spring, and a barn until later. crops can be automated, much more easily than you might think. animals just aren't working correctly right now.

as someone who lives in the south it's a very fitting noise during the summer. i also like the pseudo-deserty music going on during that season! so far the majority of the soundwork has been great.

I kind of miss the old SNES Harvest Moon grass which you'd plant and then when it got cut or eaten it would just regrow eventually. I didn't clear-cut my field or anything but I did set myself back quite a bit of hay and grass I didn't need to lose.

I threw in a suggestion to make grass growth faster or at least make animals not completely destroy grass when they eat it, like in Harvest Moon. I always enjoy keeping a ton of animals in these games, which is why I'm sad it's not really viable.

Blueberries are actually pretty drat good. They give 3 blueberries per harvest that sell at 80 each. They might be one of the most profitable summer crops if you have the cash to fill your fields with them upfront. It's also a fruit so wine/jams will up its price if you want to process it.

Note: I've only harvested the 8 I planted once so maybe I had really good rng.

Also, somehow red cabbage is worth only 100g pickled but 280g or something ridiculous not pickled.

What do I do with pigs? I have a pig, it has some hearts, but it cost 16k and has done nothing for me.

basically all the summer crops that repeat are insanely good in one way or another, it is very clear that spring basically exists for you to figure out what you want to do in summer, and then you go nuts in summer and make all the money.

hence, if you want to really do spring 'optimally', you should probably focus on subsistence until your ~20 bean plants start to come in, and then use bean income to raise a few crops of 'everything else' and use those to fuel meals and gifts. just sell all the silver and gold starred stuff you get and keep the rest in a chest for preserving and cooking. use any spare time rushing down the mines with swords and cherry bombs. no serious cash is coming out of spring so your best option is to just do your best to be ready to install quality sprinklers and tons of seeds on summer 1, which will be very simple as long as you've made it to the appropriate mine level.

I think it's just related to your fishing skill. 90% of the stuff I catch now at skill 10 is gold no matter where I fish.
