That's about how it went down when I got my Gold Pickaxe. Stripped floors 110-120 clean.

Pretty much. No one comes out, all doors are locked, and it never gets light. (or to PM time). It just keeps repeating the 12 hours of AM.

I've only upgraded my axe and pick to iron so I can harvest hardwood and clear the boulders/giant logs. And my watering can is only copper because I went the sprinkler route early as I knew they'd be a real time-saver.

Which reminds me. Someone in this thread mentioned a good sprinkler layout was suggested by another poster. Is there a better way to lay out the advanced sprinkers other than in a grid two tiles apart from each other?

And on a side note I replaced that lightning rod but half a season later and it vanished again. Same tile. No earthquake or anything - I think it might be something to do with the tile - it might be bugged or something. The other three rods are still fine.

If you don't care how it looks, there's no reason to place them other than 2 tiles apart. Maybe 3 so you have a walking path in the middle.

So, lighting rods. Haven't seen this on a wiki yet (and forgive me for skipping to the end of the thread to post it).

If you build more than one rod you don't get them all charged up on the first lightning strike of the day. It looks like each strike charges at most one rod, sometimes no rods. I stayed awake all day through a lightning storm and got 9 of the 12 rods I built charged.

So don't go hog wild building more than 9-12 lightning rods, I guess.

I know I got 19 batteries in one day with 25 or so rods. There's still no real reason to build that many, but hey.

Skaw posted:

After sinking so many hours in to the game, I've come to the conclusion that CA did a pretty good job making sure all the different ways of earning money are viable. Farming is king of cash but it's also the path that eats up the most time. Even with sprinklers, you're eventually going to be spending your entire first day or two of a month tilling and planting new seeds. Having an Orchard or being a Rancher has a huge cash barrier but after that they're pretty hands off as far as required work goes. Being a Profession Apiarist is also completely possible so long as you can meet the resource requirement on bee boxes. My only complaint is it doesn't see you can use the greenhouse to produce honey :(

Or you can just say gently caress it and fish your life away or reintroduce the gold standard to Stardew Valley by taking to the mines while never touching your fields.

Ranching seems like a very laborious task. If you're going to make real money you need a ton of animals, and you have to harvest poo poo off them, feed them, and pamper them daily.

I ended up starting a new file. I'm not really into minmaxing or anything, but with the knowledge of my first attempt I'm having a lot more fun because I'm actually making some money and managing my time not too badly.

And really, what would I ever do without caravan lady to sell me all the bundle components? :allears: Raise animals? Me? Pfaaah.

I'll probably have the "Build a Coop!" quest forever unfulfilled in my log, and I'm okay with that. :colbert:

It's kind of a dick move by the Mayor to let you leave without mentioning you can retrieve your stuff. Like he just assumes you won't want to take back this high quality produce, or in my case a loving diamond.

My animals seem sad half the time.

I leave their doors open 24/7, so they go in and out on their own. I haven't had them during a winter yet, but they have heaters. They have food every day inside and out. I talk to them every day, take their produce every day they provide it, and they're gaining hearts. Why are they sad and not producing half the time?

Are you petting/talking to them? They respond with a little heart in a speech bubble when you do.
