Speaking of, can anyone give me some sizes for the coop and barn upgrades? Like I don't need a specific tile count, just how much larger it is than the lower-tier ones. Is it +1 horizontal / +1 vertical, or is it something less predictable?

If you mean the inside, it's something like +2 each?

Supremezero posted:No, actually it popped out when I was making Cranberry seeds. I have no idea why. The seedmaker will randomly spit out ancient seeds, no matter what you put in, it has a small chance of spitting out ancient seed packets. If you hoe the ground or otherwise find an "Ancient Seed" artifact, you can give it to Gunther who will give you a packet and allow you to craft more if you discover them in the future.

Met posted:Where are all of your stones going? Stone isn't easy to get in bulk. Wood is different, because you can chop down a tree and get ~20 with no inputs but your energy, and not a lot of energy to boot. The biggest analog are the large 4-square boulders that spit out 10 stone apiece, but those are not reliable to find. To get similar harvesting speeds/returns, you need to use bombs. But that's problematic because bombs require ore and coal. So it's a lot harder to get stone on a large scale. Despite that, stone is used comparably to wood in a lot of crafting. As far as SPECIFICALLY where my stone is going - roads, preserves jars, silos (I have 2 now and they are almost full, so I will likely want to get a third here before too much longer), just off the top of my head. There's probably one or two other things. You get a nice windfall of about 300-400 stone when you're clearing your land, but if you are playing high speed the way I've been trying to, you run through that starter stone very fast.

How much Iridium Ore do you get from the meteor anyway? I have three of the drat things on my farm right now that I've been ignoring because I don't feel like upgrading my pickaxe for 3 measly ore per meteor.

Eh, you can get hundreds of stone from a single mine trip. You see those lighter tinted rocks in the mine? Those always drop 2-4 stone each, and they're all over the place.

I'm heading into Year 2 Fall and I finally got my Greenhouse up and running. Y2 Summer was my "I win" button with 9 Tier-3 sprinkler fields of Blueberries and 6 T2 fields of hops, so now that I have more money than I know what to do with, I'm finally working on ranching. I'm not really min-maxing, but what goes best in the Greenhouse? Hops to keep the Pale Ale train rolling? All Blueberries to keep the money flowing?

Blueberries or cranberries or ancient fruits are the most popular, since they're re-pickable and don't block movement and are decent money. Ancient fruits probably the best since you can actually have a reasonable chance of turning them all into jelly (and I think are just straight up the highest value per day anyway, it's just a matter of getting enough seeds). e: the minmaxiest layout seems to be http://i.imgur.com/Ji0KBhN.png Indecisive fucked around with this message at 04:59 on Mar 7, 2016 |

I'm aware of that, but characterizing it as 'hundreds of stone' isn't accurate. 'Dozens' is more accurate. It's not unusual to walk away with 80-100 stone if you are focused on the harvesting of it, don't run into any substantial roadblocks in the mine, apportion a good 8-10 hours to the dive, and aren't overly concerned with preserving your stamina and health for a dedicated dive. But 100 stone is one silo or 2 preserves jars; it's just not even coming close to cutting the mustard. Due to the grass patches and my own policy of never cutting grass unless I'm getting hay from it or it's directly in my way, my first silo filled up in a single day and the second one has 50 slots left about 72 hours after its erection. It's a slow process even for that, let alone the other things you'd want to use stone for - roads that aren't a bunch of boards on the ground, other buildings, etc. It's not really a big deal for anyone except those trying to break the game in half so I don't expect sympathy here, but when you're trying to build a ton of stuff in a short period of time, stone is actually one of your biggest blockers.

No seriously, a Copper Pickaxe takes two swings to break just one rock after 40F. That's probably, what, 3-5 with no upgrades? Get them and fish for a day and a half, they're really nice.

I bought the game this morning. It is a psychological thriller about a young man who inherits a farm, plants some crops, meets some people, and then- he finds an abandoned mine. The more he visits the mine the obsessed he becomes. He stops watering his crops or talking to anyone who isn't the blacksmith or adventurers guild. He's obsessed with the treasures and dangers of the mine. Deeper and deeper he mines, his heart full of murder and greed.

Yeah the pickaxe is the one thing you absolutely want upgraded just for improved speed in clearing the mines, and I'm seriously considering upgrading it to iridium just for the desert dungeon but I want to get the ring first. Really wish I hadn't wasted bars making the crystalarium and and a sprinkler or 2.

Just FYI: If you dig up the snowy/dirty/tarry spots in the mine(with your ho) you get a lot more Dwarf Scroll I than you do from wanting it to drop from monsturs. Edit: You also get tons tons tons of cave carrots. So many carrots. Smaug's Hord levels of cave carrots.

How can you not have enough Stone, I have 2x999 stacks of the poo poo, just go mining with a Gold Pickaxe. Especially once you have 3-4 Stardrops in you, you'll never run out of energy before end of day when mining. And with planning, Hardwood isn't even that, well... hard. You just have to hit up the Forest every other day to top off. Probably the only restricted resource is Iridium, everything else is pretty easy to get.

Uh? I've placed them adjacent. So long as they are bracketed by fences, it works properly. ^ Dude, Coolguye is talking about minmaxing the hell out of the game. Sure you can do this once you've gone through an entire season's worth of chilling farmwork. He's nose to the grindstone burning the candle both ways which doesn't really give you the time to mine stone.
