Oh, speed gro doesn't help multi-harvest crops? Nor does quality fertilizer?

Goddamn I have been making a lot of terrible, expensive mistakes!

speed-gro does help the initial grow, which in many cases turns into extra harvests. speed-gro is especially important on hops, which matures every day.

Thank you to people correcting/clarifying. I've become pretty lazy about fertilizer, just putting d.speed everywhere, because Artisan anyway.

I'm worryingly close to Master Angler now. And tempted to try and get all the stardrops this run before smothering it with a pillow (unless I'm like, super close to golden clock and stuff.)

So, anyone want to try and sell me and the thread on why one partner (including the platonic one) is better than the others? Just effort posts, no wars if that's feasible. :D

Also, now you can move the greenhouse, I wish I could move my actual house. Say, next to the soil on the beach farm. But I'm guessing that'll break stuff.

So here's a couple of inconsistencies that threw me for a loop: I wanted to upgrade my coop, so I went over to Robin's house with the 10,000 money I needed and she said I didn't have enough money and enough wood, even though it was only the wood that was missing. The second thing is that Sebastian had a small delivery job where I needed to find him a Crocus because he said he loved them, the next day I gave him a another Crocus as a gift and he didn't like it at all. I had to look up the wiki to make sure I wasn't going senile.

Yah, the special deliveries have nothing to do with the npc preferences, oddly enough.

This is a beautiful answer, but assumes my decor isn't a few mini fridges in the middle of the kitchen floor because I misclicked and can't be bothered to move them again. And two rows of tea bushes (which I should swap out for coffee tbh)

For those who were curious, like me, it was only patched out between April 4, 2016 and October 3, 2016 with version 1.07 and 1.1 respectively. 1.1 changelog explicitly mentions adding it back in. (it's removal in 1.07 is not a line item, under "Various minor bug fixes")

Best partner is Krobus.

Perks:
- He's a cutie pie when he smiles.



- He does not get jealous of you giving gifts to other townsfolk to unlock their hearts
- He genuinely appreciates your attempts to welcome him into the human world and get to know him
- Regularly tries to cook you delicious meals
- Has a job, but can work fine from home
- Him moving in does not rob him of the opportunity to lead a better, more fulfilling life (sorry, Maru, if we get involved you'll never go to college and its definitely where you belong)
- He's never an rear end in a top hat to you at any point
- He doesn't pester you to have kids
- He is not an alcoholic

Do you miss out on anything by not having kids? I have never gotten to the point of trying to marry anyone, always try to max everyone out first. Is it worth having a hollow marriage to divorce them after the kids spawn and then be "roommates" with Krobus or just skip the middle persons and go for it?

You don't technically get "married" but if you max out your hearts with Krobus the Desert Trader sells an item that allows you to offer him essentially a platonic roomies/BFF situation

It's pretty adorable

Seriously? I never lived on a farm but my dad still made out go outside often to do annoying chores like picking weeds, chopping grass, cleaning up dog shits, messin with leafs, kickin tumbleweeds etc
Also coulda swore.

Anyway, day 2 of returning to my farm, still kind of lost what exactly I was working towards last I played and my farm is pretty wild, grass everywhere but also perfect sprinkler system to optimize potential megasize crops. I remember consulting a spreadsheet someone made to do this... but I can't remember why? Just cause they are cool and I wasn't hard up for crop cash or did past-me have another motive??

He refers to it as trying... and to be fair, he mostly gives me strange strange buns, which I don't think actually qualify as human food. But he definitely tries!

Also, even though he doesn't pester you to have kids, he will help take care of them if you DO have them.

And he goes out of his way to tell me how much he appreciates me and all the work I do for the household.

This is exactly why I've always got a text file on my desktop that I update whenever I finish a gameplay session. Stuff like short term goals, don't forget x/y/z, that sort of thing. I don't have spreadsheets because I don't care enough to minmax, but I really hate loading up a farm after a few days of not playing, only to think "what the gently caress was I doing here".

Yeah, could've really used one of those, or one of the in-game auto-journals that loosely records what you've been up to. This was a few years for this save. I have a more recent farm but it was a co-op with someone I ain't play with anymore and dunno feels weird to play that farm. This is my OG "Ruined Farm"

Seems like I was maybe on a project to stock up my shed fully with kegs and jars. Seems I've planted a lot of thick gridded forest on the outskirts of the farm. I guess I have grass everywhere because it's spring and I bet I wa running low on hay in winter and over compensated. Plus these beasts eat a ton of grass everyday. MY past solution was grass everywhere + fence posts with perma grass under them so they cant eat me dry. I assume I have no fence to keep the critters from going in my crops bc it doesn't matter and I hated fence repairing. However, now I am a bit bothered by animals trampling my crops, or worse, making me pick crops while trying to pet them. I am thinking of making a psuedo fence using these tons of sculptures I have lying around or in storage.

Speaking of storage, gee whiz, what a mess! I've got a few chests that make sense, like a blue full of fish, or a green one, full of veg or seeds. White one with just mining and building mat type stuff. Cool! But, what is this red chest, with like, some seed packets, buncha weapons, couple red geodes, some corn and shrimps. What is this chest with just one of a bunch of gold/iridium singleton crops/forage? I know I had a system before that made sense to me, but past me was on some poo poo I guess.

Oh also went to the mines to hunt some dusty boys, ended up just wasting my energy on the wrong early floors but i got a couple secret notes. Forgot what these are for, am I supposed to go to where they mention ort something? They disappear after, someone lost their mom's necklace by a river or something.

That makes sense, looks like I even put a gap between the best stuff and backups.

Seems also I just hoarded a bunch of iridium quality anything else I got, just in case. And yet, I went into abandoned Joja to find some new bundle and laughed assuming I'd wrap it up right then and now... I only had one thing, bottle of silver star wine, and I had to buy it back from Pierre.
