Also be aware that fully-grown fruit trees have their maturation (for higher quality fruit) paused if there's grass or paving or anything around them, which is bullshit.

A nasty woman, I think you should try is, Jess.


Finishing up a no-Pierre challenge run (and is the second full run my wife and I have done), we had to fold at the end and buy an apple sapling from him because we got ZERO apples from the bats for two years straight (they only started when we bought the tree and even then only dropped two, we got 5+ of every other tree fruit in that time!) and to this day still no apples from the cart lady. Once we do the last few late game things we will probably start again with a bunch of mods attached for goofing around unless the update hits first. I also hadn't selected the mushrooms for the cave either game I played and saw on a video how much more productive that was than the bats so definitely doing that next time.


Need to borrow the slimes random color code and have random black/white/orange/grey koi, as well as various flavors of spots based on their parents pedigree. Include rare ones like tancho koi (the white ones with the red spot on their heads) and a butterfly koi body variant with all the same color combinations. And most importantly when looking at the koi pond you see shadows of fish swimming around. Plus since this is half-magic toss in some green koi rare drops you get from fishing at 1 am on rainy Saturdays in Summer or something

if you continue to gift bachelors or bachelorettes after you are married proper, your spouse will get jealous and cause your relationship to crater. if you want to slut it up (like i always do), do so before you tie the knot.

people meme that but it is completely unworkable in the real game without already breaking the back of the problem so i always roll my eyes when it's said

let me be less flippant:

ancient fruit is delightful, yes, but in the first year it is anyone's guess when you will actually get them, and even if you luck out and get one very early (let's say spring 15 y1), simply getting enough seeds to scale their production will absolutely demand that you almost entirely discount the plant's productivity in the first year. 2300g for a bottle of wine is great, but two a week is not going to set the world on fire. you need dozens a week. you only get that in practice by ramming the seeds through the seed maker, and that takes time. meanwhile, you have needs right now. the earliest time ancient fruit is potentially relevant is spring year 2, and by that time there are numerous other ways to have gotten to 1MM earned and fundamentally broken the financial problem already.

coffee is even worse. while it can be obtained more easily, scaling it requires either yet more time (saving and planting back your produce). coffee is truly interesting in that one keg can, in theory, service an entire fistful of plants, so the industrialization portion of the equation is much easier, but as it does not benefit from artisan at farming 10 for whatever reason (easily obtainable by mid-late summer y1), it actually scales much worse than its two main competitors (hops and wheat) because it doesn't get a 40% price bump for existing. consequently, once again, by the time you are able to scale up coffee production, its season is waning fast and you are on the brink of getting a tool that makes them much worse both in terms of productivity and your personal time than just growing hops.

both of them are fine and dandy for making absolute amounts of money, but in terms of solving the real money crunch in SV (that is, getting to 1MM) they're terrible and unworkable. as far as i'm able to determine, hops are head and shoulders above the rest and it's not subtle.

Is there a better way of farming coal than running levels 40-70 of the mine looking for those dust sprites? 10 wood for 1 coal in the kiln sounds really expensive, as does buying them from clint.

Nope. The plus side is that the monster quest reward for Dust Sprites also makes it easier to gather more coal.

Ask yourself if it's easier to run around looking for sprites, or scale up your farm production to purchase the coal outright.

Oh thank goodness. I was trying to figure out how you could possibly grow 7 years of hops in the first growing season, unless you're refusing to ever make more than one keg.

yeah, that is indeed what i meant, sorry for that confusion. keg production itself continually ramped up during summer, and basically hit full tilt in early fall with just short of 70 kegs.

isndl posted:

there's also the question of what you are buying the coal for. if you are buying the coal purely to process existing metal, then that probably is not worth it. but if you are buying the coal to build beehives or preserves jars, you can quantify how long it will take for them to pay for themselves. beehives, for example, produce wild honey every 4 days or so, which is processed to mead in another 10 hours, yielding 280g (assuming Artisan). so assuming some inefficiency on your part that makes the whole thing take 5 days, that's 5 rotations or 25 days to pay itself off (assuming your outlay is just the coal at 8 * 150 => 1200g). this isn't bad at all if you can afford the initial outlay, since it means that in another season you're going to be dealing with ~1400g/season in pure profit, which starts to look pretty interesting when you multiply that by a few dozen. if you want to buy it outright, you are looking at an extra 1400g outlay (5 * 150 [iron ore] + 50 * 10 [wood] + 150 [coal lump to forge the iron ore]), which basically doubles the time to payoff.

this is the pessimistic analysis - poppy honey and fairy rose honey are actually more expensive than mead (harshly so in fairy honey's case - it's 680g and doesn't require processing to mead!) so in summer and fall you will see a much faster payoff than you would otherwise expect.

jars pay off different depending on how you want to look at it, since they're pure processors and don't originate anything. you might look at it based upon what you're selling entirely, or you might look at it in terms of how much value it's added. i prefer the latter. in that case, blueberries add about 60g of value per day (varies a bit on grade), so the 1800g investment in coal will be paid off in 20 days, assuming you keep them filled pretty regularly. if you buy the materials for the jars outright (50 wood, 40 stone, 8 coal => 500 + 800 + 1800 in year 1 => 3100g) you're looking at 52 days or 2 seasons of blueberries to make them pay for themselves entirely. that's assuming blueberries. cranberries are 84g/day if you'd like to run those numbers instead.


these sound like long times but particularly in beehives the trick of it is that they're now just always there. if you intend to be playing more than 2 more seasons, then beehives pretty much always make sense as long as you can afford the outlay and are willing to provide the maple syrup, which is the only thing you can't buy. jars again make sense pretty much any time you are intending to play more than another 2 seasons and can fill them with berries for more than 2 seasons. considering that pretty much everyone is on board with all berries all the time, you really only need to look at your current stocks of berries and divide by 60 to get the number of jars you can reasonably pay off with your current stocks. if you have 1k blueberries (which is REALLY easy to do) you can safely outright buy 16 jars (worth almost 50kg) and know that it's coming back to you with interest.
