Eric the Mauve posted:Yeah but the gimmick with casks is you can technically put them anywhere but they only work in the basement. I think the idea behind casks is for them to need to be in a dark, cool, underground place. In stardew terms, I think the Bus Tunnel applies in a videogamey way. Whether it's a bug or not, it's been in the game so long at this point I have to assume it was incorporated officially by now.

Are casks in any sense better than more kegs? It has always felt to me that less money a month earlier which can then be reinvested is significantly better than more money in a month. I admit I haven’t done the math though. That’s never stopped me from making my share of vanity iridium wine.

I think the wiki has math for different wines and aging. The staples, starfruit/ancientfruit seem to be enough gold per day to be worthwhile, but really, I think if you're at the point of keg/cask empire, you're basically in the post-game stage where you're needing a million or so at a time for the final things to buy and the little golds don't matter as much. Outside of seeds when I don't have enough stockpiled, only thing I spend money on now is more wall decorations than I possibly can place while waiting for some kegs to cash out and bumrush the milly totems.

So after 3 years your game ends and you’re forced to start over? Or can you continue indefinitely? I got the skull key from the mines, and I’ve saved up 15k or so at this point (I already bought the first backpack upgrade). I’m trying to decide if I should buy a coop, upgrade my house, or just invest it all in crops.

RCarr posted:So after 3 years your game ends and you’re forced to start over? Or can you continue indefinitely? Nope, it's completely indefinite. I personally like to diversify my farms, even if it's not optimal. I'd probably go for a coop and some chickens; with the mayonnaise machines you can turn their eggs into mayo which is a good steady source of income in the mid-game. But the first house upgrade is also pretty important, as it adds a kitchen. Don't forget to befriend Linus as early as possible! He likes/loves basically all foraged items, and at three hearts he sends you the game's most useful recipe.

Gift him some of the forage stuff you pick up - berries, grapes, roots, stuff like that. Just choose the item in your item bar (so it's showing over your head) and interact with him like you're talking to him. He'll say "This is a great gift, thanks!" if you've done it right. You can give each character one gift a day, two days a week. At one point coffee was (is? I'm just getting back into the game myself) an item you could give almost anyone for a big boost in their friendship level, but I haven't gotten that far in my 1.5 farm yet.

Oh, I think talking to people only has a negligble impact on friend levels, you need to be giving people gifts. Select the item on your hotbar, and then when you hover over the person it'll change into a wrapped gift box icon. Right click on them, and you'll give them a gift. Maximum one gift per day, and two gifts per week, plus an extra that week on their birthday. Don't forget to check the calendar outside Pierre's shop to see when people's birthdays are, as giving them a loved or liked birthday gift is a huge boost. If you click the ♥ tab on the pause menu, you can see your friendship progression with each villager, along with how many gifts you've given them this week.

RCarr posted:I don’t really understand how to befriend people. I’ve talked to Linus every day I feel like, but haven’t gotten anywhere from it. What else should I be doing? Gifts! Everyone in Stardew Valley is a materialist and loves to get stuff from you. Unless it's stuff they don't like. Figuring out who likes what is sometimes pretty fiddly, and eventually the game starts dropping hints at you, but most of the choices make some vague sort of sense; even without looking at the wiki you can reasonably guess that Linus, the wild man who lives in the forest, probably likes getting foraged items - it's what he eats, after all, right? So stuff like leeks or hazelnuts or the like are generally a pretty good choice to gift to him. Once you've given someone gifts there's a way to look at your gift log in the social tab, I think, where you can see what they liked and what they didn't, so you won't make the same mistake twice.

Speaking of truffle oil makers, I realised on my latest save that I'd reached max foraging and thus only picked up iridium-quality truffles, but hadn't somehow picked up Artisan. Meaning that I was processing my truffles into truffle oil at a 250g loss per truffle

I just sold a few sweet gem berries (like 5 maybe?) along with the rest of the assorted crops from my greenhouse and got $27k in one shipment  Normally I'm hitting around $7k, with blueberries, coffee beans, some hops and pale ale, if the kegs are ready. I was not expecting that much. Now I can upgrade my unused barn for pigs  Is truffle oil worth it? I normally just sell the truffles themselves.

the amount of time it takes to make truffle oil and the amount of oil makers you'd probably need if you're picking up a lot of truffles is outweighed by the iridium quality solo selling, in my experience. Keep one around in case you want to make a rain totem though.

Just double checked and can confirm that casks DO NOT WORK in the Bus tunnel. Tried in 3 different spots and got the same message of "Only works in Cellar." Granted I'm running unmodded 1.5.4. so no idea if it's a mod that lets it work or not.

Finite number. There is some up to 5 from doing X or whatever in there. And some flex between unlocking everything and the max number.

My lone ancient fruit plant has yielded me a few fruits. I turned those into seeds, turned two ancient seed artifacts into seeds, and now I'm sitting of five plantable seeds. Last night I completed the greenhouse bundle. I know where those seeds are going to be planted next time I pick up my Switch!

Tylana posted:Congrats! Now you just need to decide how much of the greenhouse to turn into ancient fruit. Is "all of it" an acceptable plan? I have a deluxe barn and coop, both filled with animals. I have a shed full of kegs, jars, mayo machines, and milk machines. I'm usually pulling in 8-20k per day from the shed endeavors. I think going all in on ancient fruit for a bit could work nicely with the jars and kegs.

Tylana posted:Congrats! Now you just need to decide how much of the greenhouse to turn into ancient fruit. I was going to convert all of my greenhouse to that, but I actually want variety this time around. I initially filled it up with coffee, but I'm slowly getting rid of the coffee plants and replacing them with all sorts of crops. Now I have hops, green beans, blueberries, cranberries, ancient and sweet gem crops, two corn, and an eggplant. And whenever I find a strawberry seed, I'll be planting that, too.
