If the desire to boot Lewis from Mayor is thinking he is a poo poo mayor who doesn't deserve it, that is actually to kind to him because it frees him from the self inflicted hell of having to collect your goods for shipping every day. "Watch out for the rusty cowboy spurs mixed in with the mayonnaise and the aged wines" "Why didn't you put this in a museum!" "Already did, and also turned one into a cowboy poncho." (man, I should get around to that)

What's the best way to get a dried starfish? I need one for my octopus fish pond. I've spent the last 4 game days fishing in the ocean with a treasure hunter lure and no luck yet.

Finally got my first Prismatic Shard in winter year 2. Trying to figure the best option for it: - a) Galaxy Sword (I haven't gone beyond level 1 of the Skull Caverns yet) - b) Abandoned JojaMart bundle (it's the last thing I need) - c) Donate it to the museum (I've still got about 15 artifacts to go, and a handful of minerals) I'm nearly maxed out with everyone so I don't need to gift it, and my pale ale brewery + ancient fruit greenhouse nets me about 75k per day (currently sitting on about 1.1m gold and likely about to reinvest that into buying materials for jars and kegs).

Sword is the optimal play, it'll let you get deeper into the caverns which'll help you get another shard. My heart says missing bundle though. Combat sucks in this game and the movie theater is fun.

Yeah, Galaxy Sword is gonna be a huge step up in power compared to whatever weapon you're currently using. The Theater is cute and all, but not particularly practical or useful, and completing the Museum is even less so.

Plus, you can skip on one of the things for the theatre bundle. Unless you're on, like, Spring and didn't have any Sturgeon handy you should be fine.

I just roll whatever until I get about 2/3rd of the museum done. After that predictor all the way. Screw crushing countless geodes and miss out because you did the wrong type at the wrong step.

So I feel like I'm spinning my wheels a bit, but I know there's lots more stuff to do. Where things stand as I near the end of summer, year 2: -deluxe barn and coop both filled with every animal type Marnie sells. Autograbber in the barn. Full silo. -greenhouse is finished. I'm slowly filling it with ancient fruit plants (planning to put the first several fruits through any seed maker). Also planted one of each fruit tree along the back wall. -most of my field is covered by irridium and quality sprinklers. I'm buying an irridium sprinkler from Krobus every Friday and buying irridium bars as they appear at the cart merchant. -got to floor 120 of the mine. Been going back occasionally for gold ore, rocks, and coal. -visited the desert once. Skull cave seems pretty rough. Lately I've been upgrading to a big shed and rearranging my kegs, jars, and egg/mayo machines. I think now that the big shed is done I should add more kegs (I have 8 now). I have 18 jars and a few mayo/egg machines, just enough to use my daily milk and eggs. I'm just waiting for fall to roll around to finish the community center with a few fall-only things. So.... is there something big I should be working toward or should I continue focusing on making my farm more efficient? It feels like things really slowed down after I got to floor 120. That was my big project I was whittling away at.

Honey can make mad money. Especially considering how little effort it takes. 26k once a week from one tiny little part of my farm.

You have your evaluation coming up, so work on getting mad money, upgrading your house to at least nursery level, and maximizing your relationship with everyone prior to that happening so you can get your free daily iridium and also unlock your additional expensive shops. Then you can work towards community upgrade projects with Robin, repairing the boat so you can visit the new map, or picking up monthly/weekly tasks off the community board. Although that all requires finishing the community center first I think. Getting a horse and a coffee system going so you can speed around everywhere might be a good short term goal while you wait for the fall stuff GlyphGryph fucked around with this message at 16:09 on Jan 30, 2021 |

Cool. I'll work on handing out gifts (daily irridium!?) and start house upgrade 2 now. I have a coffee system set up! I have about 1300 coffee beans piled up in my shed. I'm balancing making coffee with making beer. I'm pretty consistently pulling in 20k/day between jars and dairy products. Honey days are nice when they happen too. What's the best coal source? That seems to be a limiting factor in much of what I want to do. I have two furnaces that I try to utilize as much as possible. It's not very fast though. It seems like those coal critters in the mine are the best option for coal? Edit: oh God the next house upgrade is 150 hardwood. This is going to take awhile to gather that amount.

Yep. Just hop the elevator between floors 45->55->65->0->repeat. There's also a super awesome reward for killing 500 dust sprites that makes the coal pile up even faster.

How is your mahogany forest going? But yeah its ten hardwood a day from the ancient woods so at least 15 days to get enough if you visit daily. And you will need a lot more than that for stuff that comes up later so definitely start a mahogany forest when you can, especially for the community board jobs that require you to gather a ton of hardwood in a short amount of time

I picked the forest farm so thankfully I’ve never had a problem with hardwood since you can get 16 per day, just on the farm. I guess you could always switch professions to get the hardwood faster. Never tried the logging ones, but the first gives you 25% extra wood and the last one gives every tree a chance for hardwood.

I think I am going to make more use of switching professions on my next run. In late-game it's not cost-prohibitive at all, so I might as well start with things that help out early game (more wood, hardwood from trees, easier crab pots) but lose viability later on. I wonder if new content makes Desperado more useful - by the time I had it before, a crit would pretty much kill stuff anyway, so it was better to just deal more damage on every strike.

Once you get the hardwood for your house don't stop collecting it. You still need a bunch for the stable and once 1.5 comes out on switch your gonna need a ton of it for stuff related to that.

The problem with desperado is that it's not a flat increase to the crit chance, it's a percentage increase to the preexisting percentage increase, so it feels pretty weak comparatively imo

ILL Machina posted:The problem with desperado is that it's not a flat increase to the crit chance, it's a percentage increase to the preexisting percentage increase, so it feels pretty weak comparatively imo You're thinking of Scout. Desperado increases your crit damage by multiplying the formula by 2x. Crit chance is a very lackluster stat unless you go all in. You can reach 25%+ with the volcano forge and aquamarine rings. It's really a question of steady damage vs. the chance at burst.

I never edited it after the discussion but you should definitely scarf some luck-boosting food just before going in, too (Lucky Lunch is best, Spicy Eel is acceptable). Also that you should get a Warp Totem: Desert from the desert trader in advance, and be prepared to use it to warp to the desert as soon as you confirm on the TV that it's a max luck day.

Lots of bombs, good daily luck, food buffs (notably speed,luck,defense). A powerful weapon (if you don't have Galaxy Sword, check the adventurer's guild for like, the Lava Katana maybe?). Jump down holes if you see them. Have a bunch of non-buff healing too. Cannot express how important it is to be clearing big areas with bombs instead of pickaxing. Explosive shot on a slingshot can help finish off mummies if you like. You can also craft stairs, or trade Jade for them with the desert trader on... a day of the week I forget. Empty all your non-skull cave related gear so you spend less time messing with your inventory. Keep crafting more bombs as you go (you can also just buy an insane stock from the dwarf). Warp toteming in helps a bunch but if you are only getting down to like 10 maybe not. Also just run out the clock. Oh no you lost a few thousand G and need to eat to get full stamina, who cares. And/or mod in the Skull Cave Elevator.

Also if you have a Crystalarium, you can duplicate Jade at a rate about 1 a day, and then trade them with the Desert Trader on Sundays for staircases.
