Honestly, Starbound is about as casual, esp on casual mode. I would go so far as to say the farming/cooking system is the only fleshed out portion of the game, even if it doesn't serve a whole lot of purpose. Combat isn't much more complicated unless you want it to be. You can set up a little colony and poo poo. You miss out on the character interactions and deterministic narrative, but I'd recommend it over terraria as an analog to this, despite terraria arguably being a better game. The workshop is fun to shop through too.

I end my playthroughs usually just before the 2 years are up simply because I run out of things to do other than make money which I have too much of. Same, but spring 2. I find myself waiting for red cabbage or the sweet release of death, start playing a new game, and then start over.

I was waiting for Jas's birthday and found myself going to a wiki for her likes and thought it would've be really cool if Marie or Shane reminded me it was coming up and what she was into these days when I passed them or by mail if we were in a new but decent relationship. Just some hint beyond trial and error for the gifting.

darthbob88 posted:Well, preserves jars produce ~2x base value in ~2 days, while kegs produce 2.25-3x base value in 7 days, or 6x base value in 63 days if you then throw that wine in a cask. Preserves jars are much better for gold/day, and the reason I'm going in for them so heavily. The real math is that preserve jars give 2x + 50g in 2 days. Fruit takes about 7 days for 3.5x and veggies about 4d for 2.25x. Jar gives you +1x value multiplier per day plus the 50g whereas the keg gets you +.5%/day for longer, so the jar is always best value per day and because of the flat +50g, usually better per item. The list of items that give better value-per-item in the keg is short and listed on the wiki's keg page. Looks like it includes fruit with value >70g, pumpkins, red cabbage, hops and wheat. Ale and beer brew quickly and sell well compared to their jarred counterparts. ILL Machina fucked around with this message at 22:31 on Mar 18, 2017 |

Rutibex posted:A unit of crop will always produce more money if placed into a Keg than if placed in a Preserve Barrel. This statement is false for cheap crops because of the flat 50g from preserve jars. Please read posts please.

Rutibex posted:A person that takes the time to do math would never plant a cheap crop in the first place. You're right, that it matters more for early game. Blueberries are the token example of a high yield and high $/day crop that gives you more value per item in the jar.

I don't mean to sound lovely, but I recommend never spending money on swords in this game. They're pricey, you should be able to avoid all damage but a hit or two during swarms, and it's much more important to buy crops and to improve your pick to gold+ to more easily rush elevator unlocks. If you're low, leave and go back to a floor rather than fight a swarm. You get good weapons from the level reward chests (gently caress the crit dagger though), the galaxy sword for free later, and usually the lead rod or forest sword will drop. The lead rod let's you do a mean double strike with knockback and you can switch to a different weapon after. If you see an elite slime, try to kill him for that drop chance. Carry lots of berries or whatever, I find that a silver leek goes a really long way to quicker early floors without costing too much $$. If you find your pick sucking, start farming dust motes for coal, combat xp, and the eventual loot ring.

isndl posted:Construct office buildings and hire people to do mind numbingly tedious tasks until you have become the next Joja corporation. Then the cycle begins anew. This time you have to quash the ambitions of other upstart magic-farmers in the region, and ultimately merge with or bankrupt Joja. It's a tense moral decision because in Grandpa Joja's eyes you see those of your ghost-grandpa's and, while in a dream cutscene, relieved of your all-consuming thirst for profit, you briefly understand the nature of this cycle and can't help but be reminded of the atrocities you've both committed in the name of corporate progress and universal access to non-seasonal produce.

Johnny Joestar posted:they do that much because they're dead inside He's not wrong. Have this concept of The Perfect First Day and once I discovered it I noticed I could chill out about all the subsequent days a little because at least I'm on a solid min/max foundation. That being said I get a kick out of the first three seasons and clearing the dungeon asap and never seem to make it far into the second year, despite not having all the cheevos yet. Restarting is satisfying. Next run I'm going to bite the bullet and plant those strawberries after the festival instead of hoarding them for my greenhouse a few seasons later. I can't help but keep money around for the Cart though, and that feels a bit minmaxxy.

Eric the Mauve posted:Strawberries are... I dunno, like the 9th best crop to put in your greenhouse I'm not denying I'm bad, but I was just gonna put those in there till they got replaced cause I usually have it before spring. But then I find myself trying to hoard those seeds for a full year and regret it. I was thinking I was being more efficient by trying to get their full cycle, but, yeah. It's really about ramping to max blueberries.

Simone Poodoin posted:I wish the skull cave had an elevator like the mine, might be tricky to balance that but I just don't feel like going down there if I'm gonna lose my progress anyway, and making a bunch of stairs feels like cheesy bullshit for me. I end up not feeling like going there and I kind lost interest on year 2 It's not cheesy bullshit, except in the mines maybe. Stairs only get you one level for 100 stone. How else are you gonna get to floor 60+? Can't have an elevator or else you'd just basically be able to go to the grocery store for your 1734874 daily iridium. The game has a certain scaling that doesn't go on infinitely, at end game there's not much to do that you haven't already done so they have to leave some of these infinite challenges around to give you a sense of difficulty, seems like.

Simone Poodoin posted:Grinding/buying a bunch of stone just to make stairs to get to where you were is not fun for me, but yeah that's why I said I don't know how to balance it if there were checkpoints. Not to belabor the point, because I understand and generally agree with you that the game runs out of interesting progression content at some point, but it seems even less immersive to me to be able to go in with enough explosives to level a few mountains just to fish for holes. I only drop stairs when my first bomb or two doesn't work out or when the scary dragon fog shows up. Or if I'm about to get cornered by mummies. And I've never gone grinding for stone, always seem to end up with infinity rocks.

Why is the joja rep in the store so chipper? He gets a bonus for every small business he shuts down? And the creepy suit-wearing overseers seem like they're probably in a better place than the clerks and cube-people. I feel the worst for the lady running the register at the market.

If you want to fully tryhard it, yah, just stair your way down as far as you can. The stone cost is offset by the iridium riches. I find stocking up on a handful of bombs from the dwarf on lucky days gets me to plenty of of profits. I don't usually bring more stone than I find while bombing down to fifty or so, but I tend to use stairs as my fallback when my first bomb or two don't find holes. Make sure to bring a farm totem.
