Why are my animals grumpy? It's winter, I have heaters and a silo full of hay, and I patted them yesterday and most if not all other days so far this season

Is their door closed? It needs to be during winter.

Nope, left the hatch open. Fixed that and it made them happy.


Daztek posted:

Do you have a deluxe barn? If not are you feeding them by placing a hay from the hopper onto the feeding bench?

No deluxe barn and no I wasn't using the feeding bench, I thought they ate it straight out of the hopper. Explains why the silo was still full several days into winter. I've started doing that now too. Thank you both!

Are there any circumstances where buying fertilizer from Pierre is worth it? I just ran some numbers and if I've done it right it looks marginal at best.

At level 10 farming, with tiller for 10% increased crop prices, 100 unfertilized pumpkins sell for on average 41800, or 83600 for two harvests. With lvl 1 fertilizer they sell for 46288, 92576 for two harvests. 100 fertilizer from Pierre costs 10000 and in this example only increases your sales by 8976 for a net loss of 1024. Maybe with the 10% faster crop growth perk you could squeeze in a harvest of Bok Choy or something and turn that into a slight profit but even then it's marginal and there's also the time spent dumping the fertilizer on your fields to take into account. Level 2 fertilizer was much the same, two harvests of 100 pumpkins get a 13376 increase in sales at a cost of 15000 for 100 fertilizer.

Does it get any better if you're using faster-growing crops and doing several harvests?

e: also i guess something like corn over two seasons would be pretty good. you get the chance for quality increase a number of times

i think the crops you plant once and harvest multiple times only get the benefit of fertilizer on the first harvest? might be wrong on that one though

You can make your own fertilizer. The basic one you can make with just sap is really nice because you probably have multiple stacks of sap lying around from all the trees you chopped to get wood for buildings, beehives and kegs.

Yeah I've been doing this but blew through 900 sap this season and still had more planting to do so I ran the numbers to see if it was worth buying more

Growth accelerators only count for the time to first harvest, Quality improvers and Water Retainers work until the patch is no longer tilled.

the actual, for real, crime in that image is the stable is on the wrong side of the house so the roofs are not aligned properly. shame shame shame

so if i'm going into town or the bus stop you want me to go left first then right? get the gently caress out of here with that inefficiency

e: even if i'm going down through the field to my barn and coop like usual, the door is closer to the right side of the house

e2: i'm also moving the greenhouse to where you'd have me put the stable as soon as it's unlocked. so i'd have to run all the way past the stable first! so many reasons you're wrong

i wasn't trying to seriously be a dick, just jokingly be a dick about the tv efficiency. i don't actually care how efficient your house is and it does look nice. it's not like i don't care about aesthetics at all, they're just a distant second to efficiency for me personally and people are giving me all kinds of non-serious poo poo for it so i was playing along. but i honestly don't know what the idea i'm supposed to be looking at is because you just posted a busy screenshot with no explanation

best i got is the coffee on either side of the bed which is pretty good, you got the speed boost handy whichever way you're going. but that's off centre of the pic so idk if that's what you want me to see

I'm sure it's gathered more conveniently somewhere, but if you look them up on the wiki, it's attached to each character's rank 14 heart event.

Off the top of my head, Alex installs a TV for the guys in the Saloon, Abigail erects a grave in the Backwoods, Leah paints a painting that Marnie puts up in her room (and also you get a painting you can hang up), Penny will redecorate your bedroom with several pieces of unique furniture, Sebastian adopts a frog that lives in his room, and Emily gives you a unique outfit. I think the others are just events.

Emily also put carpet down in one of the rooms in my game. I'd taken out the wall between that and the main room, which I'd also carpeted. Now I have a hideous mixture of two different carpets with a patch of default floorboards in the gap between them where the wall used to be. Not sure if that's unique to her or a general spouse event.

I don't have enough kegs and jars to keep up with my greenhouse full of ancient fruit and pomegranates yet, let alone processing anything grown outdoors.

Not Enough Kegs is a solvable problem with stacks of acorns and tree fertilizer. Plant an oak forest by the bathhouse, in the quarry, and on the beach, if your farm's out of room. (Eventually you'll have enough oak resin and then will replace it with a keg forest.)

I mean obviously that's kind of extreme minmaxing but if you're trying to fill out all the cheevos including the ones that require you make a hundred mil, that's how you do it without it taking 45 years.

Man, reaching skull mine floor 200 is hard

I was a little late starting (just after 7am I think) but I had max daily luck, the luck charm, the statue blessing for extra ladders and shafts, ample bombs, and one magic rock candy until it ran out and spicy eel after that, and still only got to 163. Probably spent a little too long hoovering up iridium ore instead of running straight to the next level. I did come back with a haul of 415 iridium ore and 4 prismatic shards though

Anyone else experiencing a bug where on loading the game, trying to click anything on your toolbar just activates whatever's in the first slot? Changing area by leaving the farmhouse fixes it but it's still annoying when I just want to smash my coffee and tend to whatever machines in the house finished their job in the night but instead I'm just standing next to the coffee machine waving my sword around

That's actually how you win; if you look it up on the wiki, you need to submit good quality items but from like 9 different categories, of which only 6 are used for this festival. So a random smattering of stuff is way better than putting 9 iridium star fruits and veggies.

yeah not to rain on anyone's parade but if you look up the mechanics it's very easy to win the fair. there's a lot of stuff on the wiki about how to get a perfect score but you don't need anywhere near that to win. if you just cover the different categories and make sure a few of your items are gold star or better you're probably set
