What non-stat food do you use for navigating the mines in the end-game?

Goat cheese, at gold quality it's pretty much a full health restore and it's easy to maintain a steady production stream.

I recently started eating pepper poppers in addition to espresso for the double speed boost, and discovered that now I move so fast I skip some crops or kegs if i try to harvest/fill while running past them. I had half a dozen or so empty kegs on my last batch of wine. A single speed boost still lets you catch everything.

So I just tried installing a couple of mods for the first time (mainly getting rid of that loving awful fishing minigame). Is there any way to play with mods by launching it from Steam rather than through the Vortex launcher which seems to completely break the functionality of my Switch controller?

Yup, the Stardew Valley wiki has instructions on how to set up Steam to launch SMAPI.exe so that you can use mods. It'll be under the 'Configure your game client' section.

Sweet, looks like that works. Thanks! :cheers:

LOL. So I went to give Elliott a birthday present. But it was raining that day. Which means Elliott sits in his cabin all day and sulks. And I'm not good enough friends with him for him to let me inside. So I'm standing there pounding on his door with a pomegranate and he's just ghosting me.

gently caress it, I'll max out friendship with everyone else; Elliott won himself a subscription to the Void Mayonnaise of the Week club.

You return to Stardew Valley but find it abandoned, all the residents long since gone. Ancient fruit plants sprout from the overgrown ruins, choking out all other flora. In the west, smoke rises from an eerie glow. You approach only to find the walls of a massive fortress, its iron door barred fast. Every ten minutes, a cart filled to the brim with ancient wine and truffle oil emerges.

So, fun fact, if you're making deluxe fertilizer at a workbench, it will prefer to use the legendary fish you have in your backpack before it uses the pile of 300 mussels you have in an adjacent chest.

Glad I discovered that before I went to sleep for the night and was able to restart that day.

You can only plant one type of crop per season. Barns and coops are stainless steel sadness factories where animal happiness never rises above minimum. There's a giant sewage pond that keeps slowly growing and occasionally overflows.

Yeah I'm thinking meadows. I like how the untillable grass cuts the farm in half. On top of that, with the ponds on the southwest they could be a natural fence for animals. I was thinking something like this



Meadowlands feels like a nice happy medium between varied terrain and ease of getting around/managing layout. I've ended up with a somewhat similar scheme, the open area right in front of your house is plenty for crops and the bigger area to the southwest makes for natural grazing land.

One unexpected benefit of finally installing Automate is that it's let me have a much more balanced farm. Previously I would usually tend towards an ancient fruit monoculture vineyard just because that was the highest profit to busy work ratio, and I'd only keep a handful of animals to provide cooking and gifting materials. But when you don't have to load a bunch of processing machines every single day it's a lot less annoying, now I can just pop in in the morning, say hi to everyone, and grab whatever finished products are sitting in the chest by the door.

So now in addition to the ancient fruit wine pipeline I've got a nice big animal herd and a wider variety of crops and products, all mostly managing themselves.

Being able to punt filled containers around by hitting them with your pickaxe is a very appreciated quality of life upgrade. Especially with the new house addons that require you to clear out the adjoining tiles, I was able to just scoot some minifridges over rather than having to completely unload them. Plus it makes rearranging my main storage/crafting area a ton easier.

Are spicy eels and expresso the easiest way to get double speed buffs?

Pepper poppers are probably the easiest speed buff food to make as long as you have a few cows producing cheese. It's easy to stockpile a ton of peppers during the summer.

Crab cakes are also pretty easy if you have a lot of crab pots, and they last all day while poppers will wear off mid-afternoon.

Fucks sake I think ny pigs are glitching or I hosed up. I have three max heart pigs on the meadowfarm. I am getting days of 0 truffles found. And most days I get, if lucky, between 2-3.

Truffles seem to be highly variable. You can pen your barn in tightly to ensure you're not missing any but even then there would be days I'd get 0-2 truffles from my duo of pigs. I ended up selling them off to fit a couple more goats, slightly less max profit but way less hassle. And with golden animal crackers making them give double milk it's even less of a deficit.

I've started picking up trinkets in the mines. I was on the lower levels, hunting slimes to get the last 130 or so for the ring when the quiver dropped. It was hilarious, I was just walking around while my invisible bow killed everything with death ray arrows. Try it between levels 1 and 20, no effort slime slaughter, lol

I just picked up a frog trinket? Had to go home, as it was almost 2 am, but I can't wait to try it later.


The fairy that heals you combined with a vampire ring is hilariously broken. I haven't needed to eat food during a mine run since I got it, I just facetank everything while flailing away with my sword.

I plan on having my greenhouse be a bunch of blueberries for dehydrating and using ginger island for a massive ancient fruit and coffee plantation. The beach will be littered with kegs

That's similar to what I've ended up doing on several runs. If you fill the island farm with ancient fruit the greenhouse is pretty redundant unless you're running an absolutely stupid amount of kegs, so I'll use it to grow a variety of crops that look interesting and/or are useful. I usually rush the obelisk as soon as possible, but if you don't do that then using the island as an ancient fruit plantation means you only need to visit once a week.

Also, I found if you use challenge bait you can catch 3x of each of the legendary fish kids for Qi's quest, which sell for some stupidly high amounts if you smoke iridium-quality ones. Like several hundred thousand gold all together.

If you talk to her during the Stardew Valley Fair, she mentions that she won the spinning wheel game ten times in a row and the proprietor banned her from playing anymore.

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.

Assuming a 50/50 chance, the odds of guessing correctly 10 times in a row are 1 to 1024.

It's not a 50/50 chance though, it's weighted 75% in favor of green. 0.75^10 is a 5.6% chance.
