To get Strawberry seeds don't forget about the seed maker. If you were able to get the greenhouse by winter you can turn a few strawberries into more than enough seeds come spring.

for which year?

year 1, you need to go heavy into crops to pump your farming level up. you are not going to get rich doing that, so your only real goals should be raising enough money to buy all the seeds you need on Summer 1 and pumping your farming to at least 6 for Quality Sprinklers. you do this by planting as much as humanly possible, which basically means tons of parsnips and slowly switching over to potatoes as the season goes on. you don't need to go TOO hard to hit farming 6 but you do need to be hitting it every day.

for year 2, you can likely take the season off and not miss too much. if you have strawberries left over, sure, plant them, but it doesn't make sense to buy a ton of them to plant a year from now; you're going to need that money to buy more hops and blueberries in summer.

"Just" for making pale ale? JUST for making pale ale?

Get a load of the balls on this guy.

"Just" for making pale ale!? Yeah, buddy! Just for making pale ale!

They're pretty good in that hop plants produce every day once they're grown and pale ale only takes two days in a keg, so there's a nice turnaround time on them.

If you have earned a heart event but not seen it, the next time you fulfill the timing for that scene, it will go off. If you need to go to the spa at 8 PM for something and miss a day, the next time you go to the spa at 8, the event will go off. If you missed Leah's 2 heart for some reason and it's at her place, and are up to her 4 heart event at the pub or whatever, the next time you go to her place, the 2 heart event will go off.

I think they're really sensitive to how deep you are. I always wind up finding II, III, and IV relatively deep in the mines, but then I have to go back to levels 5-10 for what seems like ages to get I. About half the time a slime drops it, and half the time I get it from digging up soil. I think the lowest I've ever seen I was around level 15, which really sucks because I typically blow past those levels really quickly in order to get to the more profitable levels below.

Could be confirmation bias on my part, but I hope it works for you.

is the rune factory series really worth checking out? I always figured I would have heard more about it

If you marry him, the state of his room suggests that either therapy isn't going well for him, or that he just has a long way to go.

Granted, every character I was interested in romancing was an option from the get-go. I like the new heart content with Shane, but not as a love interest.

StrixNebulosa posted:

Oh.

I'm not interested in marrying him, but I really, really want to help him get back on his feet. I hope that it just means he has a long way to go, instead of him getting a bad therapist that isn't working for him.

fake edit: Did some googling, going with mushrooms. They're more consistent and apparently you can get your own fruit, so!

So it shows the heart events out of order....? I saw the six heart event, but not the four heart one.

I've always wondered about this too, to be honest

e: I think I've said this before but I like Abigail too much to marry her, she needs to get the hell out of Stardew Valley and never look back.

Yes, it is meant to be used in combination with this mod:

I have nearly finished my 3rd winter, and I am very ready for spring. I have been very busy I have spent every cent from the profit of the preserve/wine making operation on barn upgrades and Pigs! I am up to 39 pigs now. I moved the Pigs over to their own large area. I have sacrificed some crop space, but I do not need mega crops any more due to my other project Ancient Seeds!

My greenhouse is now 100% Ancient seeds and it is producing a surplus. I can not wait to plant these on the first day of spring, I am up to 160+ surplus ancient seeds . I likely won't start actually harvesting Ancient Fruits for profit until fall, until then I will turn the fruits around for more seeds! I have also been investing in Bee Hives, as these are basically eternal crops that I can plant on the grass.

Question - if I plant/water rhubarb on Spring 1, will it be ready for harvest the day of the egg festival? Curious if I can fit one harvest of rhubarb in before running strawberries. I know it says it takes 13 days to grow but I didn't know if that includes the day you plant them into account.

Showbiz_Liz here did a really cool bed and breakfast thing.


There's more if you follow the link in the quote, I just cut it for the sake of space.

Thor-Stryker posted:

Also note that there is a rare bug where the game thinks you've collected the scroll already. You wont be able to complete the quest for the Dwarf unless you cheat it in, or restart.

I had it happen to me on my first playthrough, was lovely as hell.

I know that friendship level is supposed to stop decaying at 10 hearts, but does it do the same for bachelors/bachelorettes at 8 hearts after you're married? Or do I have to get enough friendship with them that I would be at 10 hearts even though I can't actually get the last two?

I'm asking because I was at 8 with Leah a little while back but now I'm at 7.

And yet Leah's friendship decayed

yeah i was about to post that info mod but i saw that eonwe already beat me to it

definitely install that one. the controls being ballsack, well, there's not a shitload we can do about that, it's something we all sort of collectively overlook. there are always ways to erase your mistakes (the pick will untill land and destroy/remove most things) but in terms of never making mistakes in the first place, that's an ideal we're just not capable of right now.

Is that the rainbow-colored gem? I have a couple, but I’m not sure if they’re the thing you’re talking about. I feel like the one I have has a different name. I had to take my first one to Gunther to get it identified.

After playing 130 hours in three weeks or whatever, I’ve kind of run out of steam. I’ve only played a few hours over the last few days. Without giving anything away, can anyone tell me if there is much more to see?

I have been to the desert. I have not figured out what to do with the weird lock thingy by the train.
I smashed one lock in the mine, but can’t replicate that feat on any other locks.
I have never been married.
I haven’t been past the barrier in the train tunnel.
I haven’t removed the glittering boulder.
I have not seen whatever the bouncer is protecting in the desert.

Are there significant pieces of gameplay hidden behind those things, or is it more of the same now that I have all the money I need?
