What forest? I have long since clear cut ever tree in the forest in my search for more wood. I have gotten to where all unused space in my farm is planted pines just to feed my lust for timber. I never have enough wood or coal

Yeah once optimize the game too much and start seeing what crops are worth the most in what season and laying out giant fields of them poo poo is kinda broken.

I read in a review that animals are fundamentally broken (as in, the game doesnt spawn enough grass for you to sustainably get through winter so you have to buy it) but I'm guessing that's been patched?

In year 1 maybe, but in year 2 I've got more grass than I know what to do with, and that's with 5 full silos, 24 animals, and still like 1/2 my farm covered in grass. Spring of Year 2 really just saw a grass explosion once the snow disappeared.

It hasn't been an issue yet, the issue is the game tells you to build a coop before a silo so people are getting chickens before they get hay. And right now, you can store hay in your inventory/chests. So once your silo is maxed, pull it all out via the coop/barn and put it in a chest, then harvest some more.

Are they used to make anything or are they just Maple syrup but worse Later game recipes: Oak resin is used to make deluxe speed-gro fertilizer, and pine tar can be used to make a consumable to increase the chance of rain the next day, so the oak resin at least is probably worth saving, the pine tar not as much maybe but they do have at least some use e: oh yeah and pine tar for the less good speed-gro too while I wouldn't say animals are 'fundamentally broken', they're definitely something you can gently caress up since there isn't much info in-game on how much grass you need or how much space you should realistically give a barn. It's quite easy to end up running out of grass and blame the game, especially since you're given a quest early in the game to start raising animals but after the point that many people will already have destroyed a large portion of the grass on the property, and it's fairly expensive to plant a new field at that point.

Animals just require so much more micromanagement, and their outputs (even if you turn everything into artisan goods) just doesn't seem to match up.

Steelion posted:Animals just require so much more micromanagement, and their outputs (even if you turn everything into artisan goods) just doesn't seem to match up. Yeah compared to crops it's kind of a no brainer, but if you have 8 ducks and 8 mayo makers, you can just go in for 20-30mins in the morning and plop all the eggs in to the machines. If you take the artisan perk then that could be 2400 a day, which isn't bad.

Animals make a lot of sense in providing you the animal products you need to complete the shipping collections, cook good meals for yourself, and fill out stuff in the community center. You should not consider them useful beyond that.

Animals are great because you can make complex mazes out of fences and make them race each other and kill the losers once the butchering mod is added in.

I want to get animals because animals are content in this game. The whole point of the game is to do its content, since they have removed the only time-sensitive goal in the game with the most recent patch. Though it seems like most people have given themselves the goal of reaching a certain level of infinite sustainability, at which point their brain tells them "all done!" Maybe they should have made an achievement for getting a perfect score at the end of year 2, make that the most difficult 'challenge' to obtain. But I'm glad they didn't.

How well does keeping your barns close to your house work? Since long term that's what you're going to be visiting every day and not your crop circles. Does something like this seem reasonable? Is there any reason not to stuff your silos in a distant corner of the farm and ignore them?

Stuff away, silos have no purpose unless you are manually removing fodder from them. Functionally the big question regarding animal placement is ease of access, rather than location. You spend far more time interacting with the animals than you will getting to them as long as you have a reasonable route to them, so organizing for transit time there is a bit like wiping the strawberry off a strawberry shortcake. It's still gonna make you fat.

This problem goes away as long as you have a silo to store up hay and plant grass in multiple areas where it can spread far. I ended up with two full silos of hay (480) and most of that came from autumn, just because I put some grass starters in the half of the farm I wasn't using, so I'm completely set for winter. They do need more preparation than crops to work though, and because there is a huge cost barrier to getting started with animals, the  amount of cash they provide each day isn't likely to mean a whole lot to you by the time you actually get a ranch going.The real problem for me is that it's been super inconsistent when I actually get any eggs out of these idiots. Sometimes I go for days where I only get 0-2 eggs, other times I'll get 6, and I do let them out with plenty of pasture and click on them every day.

One of my brown chickens in particular is really moody. I should sell her and hatch myself a second duck instead.

My current set up - https://stardew.info/planner/ccdeb2d3-94fb-4903-9bde-07754767afdd/ The weird offshoot with the stone walls is for a mushroom tree tapper. The bottom left is dense forest so I can restock my wood supply when I need it. I'm thinking about turning the top left next to the greenhouse into a honey/syrup/sap collection area.
