I know for sure cutting down the stumps next to my fruit trees works. flatluigi posted:I haven't played in ages and probably want to just start from scratch when I return. What of the new farm layouts are people actually liking as viable? Should I just stick with the original?

I like the riverlands. It has enough open space for good size fields. And the islands make nice animal or production places. And easy fishing js nice early game.

Protip: don't plant more than like 20 coffee plants unless you want to spend 5 minutes every other in-game day gathering them all, also, I did not realize how much each plant produced each harvest, this is only 3/4 through summer christ

Coffee is really weird, it works in the Kegs about as quickly as smelting copper. So you can start brewing some coffee, go out harvesting, then come back and brew another batch. You will not have a chest full of beans for very long.

Anybody care to share their house? I could use some decorating ideas. I never bothered decorating the house much before, but the catalogues in the 1.1 update make it much easier to pick out wallpapers and furniture you want. I wish I could do more with the kids' room since I don't plan to have children with this character, but you can't remove the beds and crib. Instead I filled the room with skeletons and images of monsters to express my displeasure.

I made a decent amount of profit from selling Coffee Beans after I had upped my stack to about 400. Certainly more than the 2500G I spent to get my first one. It's something to do in Spring at least, and it helps you not worry about some of your spaces in Summer. My Fall's going all right. Not focusing on Cranberries at the moment, but I do have a couple. Most of the focus is on Pumpkins and the Wild Seeds I get from seed makering the Common Mushrooms from my cave. Also growing ingredients for cooking, of course. Also also hoping that the Jack-o-Lantern is the last thing I need to craft before I get that achievement. That'd be nice.

You can look in your save file with a text editor to see what crafts you're missing, but I think it might be glitched if you started in 1.0 and are still playing in 1.1. I kept track of all the crafts and my file accurately tracked it as well, but when i crafted Fall Seeds, my last one, it didn't give me the achievement and didn't increase the number in the save file. However, it WAS tracking it somehow, because my actual problem was that I forgot the aging cask was a new craftable item, and when I built that, I got the achievement.

Artificer posted:How many coffee plants do you need to never not be on coffee during the entire year? Kind of a lot since Coffee takes 5 beans to produce and only lasts for 1.23 minutes, which means you'll need to chug multiple times a day. Also beans of different quality don't stack, so having 4 silver star beans and one gold star bean is a no-go. (It's still less work than Pepper Poppers though since you don't have to worry about Cheese. And man, does this game become a lot less tedious when you ditch your animals. Seriously, I ditched my coop and I've never been happier - I'll ditch my goat and get pigs once my barn gets remodeled and then I'll be free).

crops in this case include flowers so one of the frustrating things about junimo huts is that to do beehives correctly you need some pretty serious forethought

I'm borrowing someone else's savefile for this demonstration--as I don't have the third tier house in my game yet--so please excuse the decor not actually being an example of my tastes:  Now the decor is more to my tastes:  You can still have kids, even without the beds.

Coffee's not bad at all, you get 23 harvests over two seasons at 4 beans apiece for a total of 92 beans per plant. That makes 18 cups of coffee (and 2 extra beans), selling for 150 each, so 2700. Over 46 days that's about 58 gold per day. The other nice thing about coffee is that it's great for people without a lot of kegs because it cycles so quickly. And also it's a handy buff!

It's still a bargain price for them -- just having them around to deal with hops in the summer makes them worthwhile. I still wish I could hire Shane or Linus to deal with the livestock, but I'm glad to have those dopey little gumdrops enslaved to my agricultural empire.

I survived Spring, Year 2, days one and two. Planted all of my 40+ wild seeds, planted 20+ of cabbage and potatoes, and a variety of other things. I could only afford two saplings, but they're planted and I know where I'll set up a pleasant little orchard. Also, I learned that if you click and hold the watering can will water 3-5 squares ahead of you and it's great! Makes watering these things a breeze, so I can spend my afternoons doing my usual things - talking to the handful of people I'm aiming to 10-heart, fishing, foraging, and working on getting more hardwood because I really want a fully upgraded house. And I finally got the mutated carp legendary fish! Just a trap bobber and a level ten fisher and a good time.

Just another case of a lack of realism in Stardew Valley. Instead of planting and picking crops, you could be more like a real farmer - hiring migrant labor and dealing HR paperwork and employment verification, filling out tax and safety compliance forms, working with lenders to best determine your capital structure and keep acquisition attempts by Joja at bay, planning out hedges for crop prices, all that fun stuff.

On the other hand, you could use that iridium to make some iridium sprinklers and then never have to manually water plants again.

So I know that a lot of people in here have worked out optimal or near-optimal strategies for making money quickly early on, but I'm curious if anyone has figured out how quickly one can finish the community centre. On my first playthrough back when the game came out I think I finished it around late summer or early autumn of Year 2 (although getting lucky with the caravan was part of that), and that was without really consciously focusing on it until toward the end of Year 1. I assume it's possible to get it significantly faster than that, although it might still require some luck. I'm curious how fast other people can do it (assuming they prioritize it).

Short of luck with the cart, it's impossible to finish before Summer year 2 due to the red cabbage on the dye bundle. If you get that, the main stopping blocks are Truffles (Pigs are expensive and don't produce in the winter, and take 2 weeks to mature, so you'd have to buy it by mid fall), Duck Feathers, and Rabbits Feet (Rare)

Will non-fruit trees grow normally even if the 8 tiles around them aren't clear? I want to put some flooring around my trees so they stop plopping down seeds in the ground wherever but there's a couple stubborn trees that are growing slower than the others.

I decided to play a few days worth of Stardew today, and got a pleasant surprise. My goat finally produced a Large Milk  This was all I needed for the green house. I have already begun growing several ancient fruit plants outside, but I will now move that operation inside. Should I buy Rare Seeds from the cart and fill the rest of it up with Sweet Gem Berries?

Has anyone else actually used the Slime Hutch? I want to breed up a horde of purple slimes, but something weird happened. I have a hutch with a Wicked Statue (to ward off witch curses). I had 4 slimes, one red female and 3 blue males. I admit the water ran out (I was upgrading my watering can). When I show up the next day, i only have 2 blue male slimes left, and no baby slimes. No slimes escaped, though (didn't get notification of the event and couldn't find any hiding on my farm). Can slimes die from lack of food? Did it bug out?

HopperUK posted:Thank you for all the pictures DOWN JACKET FETISH posted:rutibex has blueberries literally everywhere Not entirely true, it is a mixture of about 60/40 Blueberries and Coffee. I have nearly a full chest of Coffee beans, so I think I might be good for the rest of the game. I also can not process my blueberries fast enough with only one Preserves Jar barn and one Kegs Barn (I have many full stacks). I will need to buy another barn soon! I don't like to have money in my account, it should be making me more money. But I have been saving to buy Cranberry seeds for fall.
