Stardew Valley

[Julian]

Since I only had one rainy day in Spring, and missed out on one fish, I couldn't get my greenhouse in year one, so for summer, I focused on getting enough gold/iron/quarts to make about 35 Q. Sprinklers, while I manually maintained my blueberry patches. I had to go to the Sauna ever day to have the energy to do so. Come summer, I never had to water my cranberry plants, and that let me do pretty much whatever I wanted/needed to get done. Now, in Winter, I've built up my barnyard/coop and cleared out my farm of most everything but some trees, to keep my wood supply going. Not exactly sure what I'll do, come spring, but I've got the cash and materials to do about 100 plots of Q. Sprinklers of whatever I decide to do.

Iridium sprinklers are where its at!

They're really easy to get if you have a decent pool of money, too.

I managed to get about 40ish iridium ores (so 8 sprinklers) in a half-assed run of the mines, although I used up the 1200ish pieces of stone I had saved up. But it's worth it since you can just buy more anyway.

For the 8 scarecrow pattern I use, the Q. Sprinklers work well and more ascetically pleasing then the pattern created by Iridium sprinklers. 76*8 plants is already 624 seeds in a season, which produces more then enough money for whatever I'd want, and the rest would have to be kegs to keep up with that volume. I'd rather spend the iridium on Crystalariums and farm diamonds, but I need summer to roll back around for their thunderstorms....

How fun is this music.

[Zetanio]

I want cute little autoharvesting machines.

[Kachiko]

I wish clay wasn't so hard to come by; I dug up the beach and got a lot, but I think you have to wait a while before the same dirt can give it back, based on my farms experience. It's the only block on making more kegs.

[Zetanio]

You can spam till an area and you'll get some. Also comes from regular geodes.

[Kachiko]

As in, an area you just tilled?

[Cutriss]

So I heard the developer of this game has stated they intend to provide free expansions/addons? Is this info legit?

Yes.

First on deck is supposed to be co-op multiplayer. Really interested to see how that works.

[Zetanio]

No, just any untilled area. Remember you can till non-grassy areas all over town and they'll reset every day.

Aw man I bought it on GOG because I wanted it offline. I wonder if it will be possible to do the co-op on steam if I have a GOG copy.

It'll probably work. Likely to be a server based thing similar to Starbound.

[Zetanio]

Also I think you can just add it to the steam library.

For clay, sometimes you will see little worms coming out of the ground. That's where you should till. If it doesn't give you an artifact, foraging item or book, it gives you clay. Those wormy spots are all over the map, but I find them regularly on the beach and on the road from your farm to the town.

Now I can't seem to find an answer for this. I finished the community center "foraging" pack with winter foraging. Impatiently I clicked through and didn't get the reward from finishing it. The room that pack was in was restored and now I can't access it to get the reward anymore. I can't access it through the menu either, I assume since the page is considered done it's inaccessible now. Anyone know a way to access it so I can get the reward?

Also how the hell do people get gold bars in first year? I've got a good stash of iron now thanks to hitting the area in the mines were you can farm it easily. I assume it's just using winter mainly for mining?

[Julian]

I think I completed the first mine before winter. Just went there every time it rained. 5-10 levels each time, sometimes 15.

Open your main menu, go to the reputation section, on the far right is a button that takes you to the community center package pages. You can use the arrow keys under the window to flip through them. See if you can navigate to it that way.

Yeah, I was at between 90-100 before my first winter. Quickly finished during the winter.

I tried that, the page is missing there too

Mass beach hoeing, with a gold hoe, gets me quite a bit, actually, and is the fastest way I've found to getting it.

Regarding the mine, I finished it up during summer. When the Sauna opens up (north of the carpenter shop, after the earthquake), you can Regen all of your energy, and then spend the afternoon/evening in there, until about 11 PM. Once you get the carts repaired, you can stay until 12 AM.

[Silenka]

I guess I put more emphasis on foraging and fishing (and stalking around villagers to give them presents, I'm seriously that chick you see in the bushes out your window) than doing the mine in my first few seasons.

[Lyall]

I've been doing the opposite. I'm about a third through my first summer and I have befriended no one, I just fish and toil in the mine. Who needs friends when I've got piles and piles of smelly, sooty lucre?

Caught a legendary fish last night, too! Some of these patterns don't fuck around.
