I really love this game but 450+ pages is daunting so I'm just gonna ask straight-up: There's nothing missable in this game right, it just goes on forever? Any calendar event that happens will for-sure come around next year and quests I fail to do with either come up again or stay in the log forever right?

I really like a few of the villagers but sometimes I just want to spend weeks going nothing but watering my poo poo and sleeping.

Yes.

Although you really should watch TV every day. I didn't, and now there's one recipe (that you hear about in the first Spring) that's taking ages to find. I know it'll come up on the reruns eventually, but it's taking forever.

There's a set recipe shown every Sunday on a two-year repeating pattern. Each Wednesday, a randomly-chosen recipe that's already been aired at least once will be displayed.
So if you get lucky you might catch it on a Wednesday re-run.


I just recently started a new game to replay from the start, as I hadn't played since before the Emily/Shane update.

Not sure how relevant this is for your current playthrough, but you can fit a lot more casks in the cellar. This is generally considered to be the optimal layout:

Oh, I know that I can have a more optimal placement (which I've considered doing), it's that even with an optimal placement it's not enough for the amount I've got lined up. A man has but three needs in life: food, water, and casks.

A. 125 casks is a fair amount more than 90, which you appear to have in that picture.

B. Sebastian and Maru have both obviously been on Reddit before, unfortunately.

A bunch of my friends started playing this game for the first time, and I've started a new farm so I can play along with them. My last save was abandoned months ago, but I'm surprised by how much I remember.

I'm thinking of doing a full orchard farm. A small plot for cash crops and food, a barn and coop tucked away in a corner somewhere, and the rest devoted to fruit trees and fruit processing.

How viable is this? Or, will this be fun? I'm not min maxing, I'm more like roleplaying. Should I stick with one variety of fruit and spend all year turning one season's harvest into wine?

I just really like orchards. :shobon:

It'll be a little tricky - running the numbers, fruit trees actually take more than a season to break even unless you process the fruit, although in the very long term they'll be okay. So you'll both want to process as much of the tree fruit as you can, and have a fairly strong core of blueberries, etc. to bankroll your fruit tree programme.

In the long run, the greenhouse has enough space to do this while also hiding the crops from view. Of course, first catch your greenhouse.

Sounds neat, though :).

It's not efficient in the sense that it'll take a relatively long time to get up to speed, but iridium quality apples getting aged into iridium quality wine with minimum effort every three days sounds rather nice. Just takes, um, four years to get to that point.

Does fruit quality make a difference to wine quality? I thought it didn't.

Tibalt

I thought wine was x3 the value of the fruit, affected by the quality. I thought only cooking, mayo, and cheese weren't affected by the quality while pickling and wine did.

Edit: if I'm wrong, that's great, it actually makes my vineyard even better since I can sell the gold crops and keep the regular quality instead of vice versa.

Imagine a rod breaking on a robot face - forever
The value of fruit/vegetable based artisan goods are determined by the base value of the original item with no consideration for quality. You absolutely want to prioritize turning your lowest quality crops into wine/pickles over the higher quality ones.

The hard part of doing an orchard is that fruit tree saplings are expensive and take a long time to grow. You should probably do a normal farm for most of the first year and save up cash to buy saplings and plant them at the beginning of Winter. Check the travelling merchant frequently, though, they sometimes sell saplings for less than Pierre does.

Thanks for the feedback! I think I'll go for it -- it will be a lot of work and will take years to really get the orchard going, but at least I'll have plenty to do. And it's easy enough to have a cash crop farm on the side, along with some ancient fruit wine in the greenhouse.

I did this once! Buying all the trees cost me around half a million gold.

I'm glad they added more expensive bullshit for the game than there was at launch, but it should go farther. Like the golden logs of Harvest Moon games past, I want to be able to craft stupid ornamental fences and pathways and fountains and statues and things out of gold and irridium bars. No more functional purpose than the ones you can craft out of wood or stone, they're just super expensive and tell all your neighbors, "A true fancy-pants lives here."

I think that might be a weird artifact of upload.farm. It does other weird stuff too, like it always displays uncolored chests as black instead of light brown, it doesn't show tappers on trees, etc.
