You're welcome!

Haven’t updated since Jan but I’ve been playing all the while:
Here’s some progress pics:
Right now I’m on year 6 about to enter year 7, finally got perfection (I’ve had all the cooking ingredients for perfection since year 3 but was too lazy to film a video for it so it waited until year 6)

I’m actually trying to remove buildings now, at least some of the sheds, coops, and barns. It’s to help the performance on the farm and to make more fish ponds while having a bit of free space. Just today I destroyed 4 coops and have plans to remove the leftmost row of crystalariums sheds too, just figuring out a good place to put them all currently.

I didn’t really want to use wines or jellies as they are especially annoying on mobile.

I have played only on Mobile. What are the mechanics like on PC for Kegs and Preserve Jars? Also for sowing and harvesting?

Well on pc you don't have to click for every interaction, you can hold the mouse buttons and move at the same time and also overlap the harvesting animation so harvesting is like 4-5x faster on pc. You also don't have to deal with annoying prompts to eat edible produce when loading it into the keg, can hold down buttons which basically simultaneously empties and refills the keg/jar/etc.

I think harvesting will be a lot better on mobile with 1.6 and the iridium scythe though, I'm looking forward to it so long as it doesn't remove too many of the other mechanics I use

Well designed, it shouldn't matter what grade the tool is. Good design in this case means using the tap-and-swipe mechanic to plant, harvest, and retrieve products from similar, adjacent machines. It sounds like this is the behavior in the PC, and maybe I's hate Ancient Fruit wine a lot less if this were in place on mobile. Farmer Shomer ships a lot of unprocessed Ancient Fruit from the greenhouse. Farmer Bupkis has it planted on the arable patch of the beach farm where Junimos do the harvesting. Farmer Maher celebrated achieving perfection by destroying all his Ancient Fruit.

Anyway, thank you for this thread. Watching you do you on mobile is very edifying, and I've definitely picked up some good tips.

I said the iridium scythe specifically because it is the only one able to harvest crops, the gold scythe nor the regular one can harvest crops.

I agree it should be made a lot more seamless or at least have some more options to hold down buttons to harvest and fill machines on mobile, that would make a world of difference

I have never played enough on a farm to finish year 3, ever, and I bought the game the day it was released. Not that I have that many hours, only 500 or something like that.
I just wanted to ask you: why so many ponds? Passive income? No crops? That's for ginger island, I suppose? Tell me your secrets

I'm trying to collect a lot of the fish pond items as I just find them a fun thing to mess with

I don't have crops because a) it's beach farm so I can't extensively use sprinklers, b) I don't want to bother with deluxe retaining soil though I may as i want a lot of crop items too, and c) crops and crop processing is just super unwieldly on mobile, really annoying and I use other money making methods which I find way more enjoyable.

I actually don't have any crops on ginger island either (it's covered in beehives), only the 116 af in my greenhouse and the ~180 random plants I plant each month in the little plot you can use sprinklers

For money I have about 2500 crystalariums for solely diamonds and 1200 beehouses with fairy rose honey, brings in about 5-6 million a week which is plenty enough for me and takes about 2-3 days of effort a week (going to bring it down to 1 and lose the honey soon though)

Almost been a year since my last update but thought I'd make one seeing as my post about hitting 100k qi gems was interesting enough

Currently playing through summer of year 13 and working on using the file as one where I go for a stack of all items, at least ones that are interesting enough. That does mean a lot of fish ponds for all the fish related items, items they can give, and the fish they can give (it is truly a horrible amount of fish)

This is what the farm looks like, I have 6 to 24 of each animal and the rest is primarily angled towards the fish ponds, 77 of them, though I'm debating maybe adding a few more.

It does mean I get a LOT of fish and roe though, for most fish I need 1 whole stack for the raw fish, 1 whole stack for smoked fish, a whole stack of roe, a whole stack of roe to age, then some more fish on top to make bait out of.
Just finished out my 4th fish which makes my something like 5% done so yay me I guess

(stacks for sardines which unfortunately have their own cooking recipe)

On top of that, most of the time on the file has been with the aforementioned qi gems, though it does mean I have a chests upon chests of monster drops, and over 300 prismatic shards dropped from monsters alone.

The last big focus has been on getting statues of endless fortune, as I need 999 of them for their own stack, but they also can make some super slow cash (very few will actually pay themselves off), but give somewhat useful bars and omni geodes which are the best way to get most artifacts (by trading them in for troves then opening them, I've opened a couple thousand by this point). I have just about 400 statues currently and they're beginning to overflow the couple sheds I put them in a while back, so I'm thinking of putting the file on my pc temporarily to construct some cabins or just renovating another place off farm for them.

In regard to those places off farm, I've pretty much taken over half the valley in machines as I always do, though maybe not to the same overwhelming extent as I have with all the paving on my main PC farm.

That's pretty much everything big on the farm thus far, though I've been playing it quite often so I'll probably have a bit more to share as I do more stuff, do feel free to ask about stuff too

Yeah I have about 300 hours of mobile experience but it was 2-3 years ago and on a totally different device. Regardless I’m not a total stranger to it

You make me feel so bad at the game

There's no need compare yourself to anyone else when playing Stardew Valley as it's perfectly made for countless different playstyles. Your playstyle is all yours and what makes you comfortable. Maybe you learn a new technique now 'n then and add it to what you like to do but comparing yourself, especially to speedrunners or min-maxers, is just not fair to you.

Enjoy playing the game your way, not someone else's way.

Thanks Lew! You are really kind and always brighten my day!

Please don't feel bad! We all play differently and there's very little to or which you should compare to the way others play, especially in a game that's not competitive in any way at all, as Lew said, play how you like and in the way you want to, and take posts like this as inspiration for yourself if you want to pursue it (or maybe a sign to steer clear of this kind of thing if you don't)
