I really enjoy this game but manual fishing is the worst on PC.

I wish there was a way to make fishing easier. I'm close to 60 (56) where I can get mealworms, but it's so far away.

Still growing corn with no runestone. Been nearly 3 weeks now. Rip. Or maybe 2 weeks? Hard to tell.

You need more than one corn rune in this game? Dear god. I feel like I've been doing this forever but have actually only harvested 2200 corn.

Sounds like you’re done with the first orb. There is a quest where you need 2. But another quest will give you two, if you give them. Then down the line another 1.

I’m currently at 83/85/95/80, and I needed a total of three Runestone 11s.

Yeah I'm done with the lava orb quest line. I've been stuck on Strange Stones VI for weeks now.

Up to 2,800 corn now and no rune. Someday

The corn grind is :(

Up to 3600 now and no rune.

What's the best way to increase farming? I'm at 82 farming right now.

Best moneymaker without a lava sphere is still lanterns, right?

Yeah, lanterns until you unlock the last couple fishing areas and ways to make nets easily.
The FASTEST way to level up farming is to buy new buildings or crop rows, if you’ve already got the 1b storehouse upgrade and a handful of the important pets, definitely look into getting that next. 4 sets of beets or sunflowers a day with grape juice will also give some good gains too.

Thanks! I haven' made my first billion yet so I feel like I'm pretty far away from crop rows and a level 6 green dragon. Alas!

The general strategy for the first few billion, as I understand it is:
1. Storehouse
2. Green Dragon
3. Crop rows
4. Red Dragon

Is that right?

Ugh. 1100 streak, well over a thousand nets and a couple thousand mealworms in Lame Tempest and no Runestone. This is maddening.

I think it took me nearly 70 large nets to get the Lake Tempest runestone. Good luck...

As a corn update, I'm up to 4,300 corn now with no rune. Someday...

I unlocked Lake Minerva and I'm making my way through the new main quests it opened up.

I'm surprisingly stuck a bit on needing 3 wine since I used all my grapes for the day to make grape juice.

I got the hops rune in less than a day.

Edit: Using my first billion on the storehouse is the best use, right?

The fishing script works great!

I threw together a fishing script that you can paste into your browser console. Only works with mealworms for now. The autoFish function takes minIntervalMs and maxIntervalMs parameters which determine how long after a fish is caught before it will start fishing again. I suggest setting these parameters to a lower value than what I have in the script below.

JavaScript code:
function getRandomInt(min, max) {
  min = Math.ceil(min);
  max = Math.floor(max);
  return Math.floor(Math.random() * (max - min) + min); 
}

function getBait(){
	let el = document.getElementById("baitarea");
	let baitText = el.querySelector("strong").innerText;
	return Number.parseInt(baitText);
}

function autoFish(minIntervalMs, maxIntervalMs){
	let el = document.getElementById("fishinwater");
	let btn = el.querySelector("div.fishcell img[style*='inline']")
	let delay = 100
	if (btn != null && getBait() > 0){
		btn.click();
		delay = getRandomInt(minIntervalMs, maxIntervalMs);
	}
	setTimeout(autoFish, delay, minIntervalMs, maxIntervalMs);
}

autoFish(5000, 6000);
Fishing is actually pretty much entirely client-side, so you could just call the API and tell it you caught a fish, but there are other network calls associated with fishing so it seemed less risky to just do the dumb thing and simulate a click in javascript :v:

Hey, this fishing code is great, thank you!

Edit:

Question for you folks - should I go hog wild with exploring and crafting before the current event ends? I have a lot of apple ciders and orange juices I could use to craft a pile of crossbows and fishing nets.

I'm 96% done the corn quest. I've been fishing forever and almost have 100 gold fliers.

Now I need 200 more gold fish to finish this part of this quest for whatever it gets me.

Edit:

Also agree that these personal requests kind of suck. They ask for a pile of semi-rare or hard to acquire things for a minimal return.

Woohoo! Finally fished up those 300 different gold fish and unlocked the pirate cove. Glad I saved up 450+ large nets as I made a pile of cash selling them.

What's next? Still not even 90 exploration so tower is out. Just...build up cash?

In other news, I unlocked the tower! Bye bye silver

I'm still working on growing 600 of piles of crops to get to the next step of the quest! I don't have exploring at 99 yet though, so it will be a while before I can actually do anything with the tower I think.

It looks like seaweed, giant squids and cheese are going to be difficult to get for A Towering Investment IV. Cheese only comes from a pet, right?

I can spam large nets (so many large nets) to get the seaweed and squid (drat these things have low drop rates) but cheese?

Note to anyone earlier in the game: don't sell things like seaweed, pufferfish and giant squid!!!

Moldy Sausage posted:

Cheese can be mailed so you can just ask for some in giveaway chat. Note that Gouda from the exchange center is not the same thing as cheese. Spiked shells are even worse than seaweed, so start throwing salt into the well for it if you’re all set on geckos (but make sure you have at least 600 salt if you haven’t done ATI III yet)

I've got tons of salt so I'm set there. I've been exchanging 3 salt per day for spiked shells, though I seem to get broccoli quite often.

I just looked and I only have 33 geckos and 29 spiked shells. Ye gods. How many am I gonna need?

Edit: Maybe it would be worth it to buy the upgrade for more well tosses?

I've used so many nets trying to get seaweed and giant squid (and spiked shells) and so much stamina trying to get geckos.

I've got 300 seaweed and squids, so I'm almost done ATI IV.

I'm stuck on the final Unexpected Visitor Quest (I think) trying to get 2 teapots. The only way to get them seems to be from tossing dice in the well. Probability has not been my friend. Been tossing 4 dice in the well per day for 3 days now and I have 0 teapots. Augh!
