Tea plants are actually more profitable now overall, the recent change made the sell price decrease, but they also made it so you recover the tea plant sapling when you chop it down, so you get the benefit of selling the tea leaves during the growing season, and then you get the sapling at end of season and can sell it, netting more money overall but with more effort required.

I like to put a row of tea saplings in the basement so I can pretend I'm growing hydroponic weed down there. Also they're the only thing you can grow hassle-free in pots until you get quality retaining soil, which is super late game.

Shame if so. I just liked having it in my house as something I could grow without worrying about watering. I suppose in the new era of quality retaining soil it'd be better to just make it all more ancient fruit instead though.

You can't grow Ancient Fruit in garden pots.

You can grow coffee though! That's what I do.

But can you put grass under the tea saplings? If you can't they are worthless as a fence.

As unintuitive as it is, Artisan from the farming tree is better for selling processed animal products than Rancher from the animal tree.

This is silly and I don't like it, but them's the breaks if you aren't modding.

Thanks for the heads up about this, I somehow forgot or didn't know about the branching job paths so I didn't know artisan was an option. We just unlocked the sewers tonight so I went and respecced and the difference in profit is huge.

With Shepherd and golden animal crackers you can make 3-4 cloth a day per sheep. Sure it's not as powerful as Artisan, but it's a fun alternative if you're bored of wine farm.

And with an autograbber/autopetter you could just sleep through a year then pick up all the wool. Probably the most passive way to make lots of money.

This imbalance still really bugs me especially with the new Meadowlands farm. The second level of the animal branch should give you an additional 20% boost to Animal Products (to bring it inline with Artisan for those goods), and at the very least Truffle Oil should also count as an Animal Product like cheese/cloth etc.

The Artisan branch then would be better only for wines, beers, honey, and the preserve jar products (and dehydrator/fish smoker now). Still would probably be the better generic choice, but a ranching farm would be way more comparable.

Rabbit's feet are unique in that they are a universally loved gift that can be obtained fairly reliably, and have a quality modifier. They are the single best gift item if you're not spreadsheeting out every character's unique preferences.

Penny is the only character in the game who does not like getting rabbit's feet as a gift, they are referring to that.

It’s kind of odd that it’s just penny. Emily and Evelyn are both canonically vegetarians who hate being gifted fish (since meat doesn’t exist in Stardew in-game really) but are totally cool with getting rabbits feet. Although the rabbit seems to just shed them like a lizards tail in-universe so I guess that’s fine? Emily’s also so superstitious that it probably overrides her vegetarianism

I give Leo a sashimi and he dislikes it. "I don't think I can digest this."

A month later, he moves to the valley and Linus is teaching him to "cook" fish. He regards this as a strange and foreign concept.

I hope someone got fired for that blunder.

I saw someone suggest that it's not a foot, it's a mat. Rabbits get matted foot fur in a way that looks like extra toes sometimes, and you have to snip it off. So maybe you're making vegan-friendly rabbit feet out of something you groom from your rabbits.

Rabbits will pop around and kick their feet out when they're particularly happy. Maybe Stardew's bunnies kick their feet out a little too hard.

And it made one-eighth the difference.
Ranch rabbits hunt other rabbits and eat everything except one foot, because it's unlucky for them to eat two feet.

It comes up a few times that Penny is absurdly lucky, to the point that she's been banned from all games of chance in the town.

I must therefore assume that she fears triggering an underflow error on her luck, and that's why she hates being given rabbit feet.

I think she's the one who tells you that green is weighted better on the spinner in the fair, or at least implies the odds are uneven.

The odds of this are around 1 in 20, so if 30 people play the game there's roughly an 80% chance that one of them will get that result.

If Penny were that lucky, she wouldn't have her terrible home life. Maybe that's her curse: having to live with Pam (unless/until your farmer marries her).
