What do you go to Cindersap Forest most for?

[Lew Zealand]

This came up in the discussion thread about adding a Warp Totem and Obelisk to Cindersap, so I was wondering what parts of Cindersap would be served most with an added warp point nearby.

 

[Maher]

Um, Trash Bear? Feeding Trash Bear right?

Oh, and there's a shortcut to the beach that isn't the sewers? I'll have to check it ou it one of the saves where I did the upgrade.

Yes there is a Community Upgrade that adds a Beach shortcut. I've even remembered to use it on occasion.

Forgot the Trash Bear! Adding now... Though to be fair, many players will only visit him 4 times (plus additional ones when forgetting what he asked for, so like 15 times for me).

Chop Trees, Forage, Fish. Although to be honest, i used to visit the Secret Woods area a great deal, too. Unfortunately, that's not included in the choices here, above!

I have based my responses on my 1.5.6 Save which was vanilla Stardew (shelved 1 year and 10 months ago) -- since then, I have added Stardew Expanded and most recently, about a month ago, Ridgeside Village:

Leah, Secret Woods, and Beach Shortcut

Actually, it is:

"omw to Secret Woods" (omw = On My Way)

Ah, thanks! Then, Chop Trees, Fish and omw to Secret Woods, it is!

Forage, and the 1.6 stuff.

Lots of berry bushes there, so I visit every day during salmonberry and blackberry seasons.
The 1.6. neighbours

require many, many visits, especially as I sometimes forget whether they wanted a jar or a keg produce.

I always pick Lumberjack as a profession, so Secret Woods isn't a place I visit particularly often except earlier on. The trash bear only requires four visits, and the wizard I only really visit while befriending him and when collecting quest rewards.
I never go to Cindersap just to visit the Hat Mouse.
I rarely chop down trees in the forest; like many others, I use the train station as a tree farm. In the forest, I mostly just clear out debris and the occasional tree that constantly gets in the way while on horseback.

Reasons my farmers visit cindersap forest:

1. Chop trees and plant the seeds around the riverbed for future lumber needs.
2. Visit the merchant and her adorable pig (buy rare seeds and the occasional truffle).
3. Use beach shortcut as soon as I can get it.
4. Cut through to visit Krobus in the sewers.
5. Catch glacerfish, woodskip, dorado, and goby.
6. Trout Derby!
7. See if Marnie feels like working today.
8. Leek hunt if I get granny's quest.
9. That new area.
10. Trash 'bear' & Forest Friends fetch quests.

7. See if Marnie feels like working today.

Too true. I usually have business I'd like to do when it's impossible, so on a Monday, Tuesday, or her or Jas's doctor's appointment day.

 

[Bawby]

Haha! I'm no Gorilla or Bueller, but I do have some things in the Secret Woods. No need to alert Lewis (or is Marlon and Gil the authorities?), those kegs are for, uhh....sodas!

Doesn’t check who started the thread, and checks the options.
’Chat with Travelling Cart lady about pig husbandry’
”This is one of Lew’s, isn’t it?”
Checks first post. It’s Lew.

Never change, Lew.

Definitely Travelling Cart. If there is a Rare Seed, I will get it.

Leah, Marnie, Trash Bear, Wizard, and Poke (Hat Mouse) are only visited a handful of times, if that.

Fishing? I actually tend to wind up on the pier, or at the mountain lake.

The Secret Woods kind of phases out, once you appease the grand master, and start getting Hardwood from Mahogany Seeds on your own farm, or Ginger Island, no?

I do not have 1.6.

Given that I still do plenty of Beach fishing, after the Secret Woods has fallen out of my interest, I have my #2 as the Beach Shortcut. I do recall using it a chunk, before I had NYEOWMstick and the Beach Obelisk.

Forage is often a side effect of #2, but not the visit’s intent.

This leaves my #3 as chopping down trees, and, admittedly, I do my share of Cindersnap, to plant excess pine cones around the lake. They must fall, for more to rise from the ashes.

I was going to say something like "ha! none of the above, I have a huge machine compound there filled with..."


Realized I was an option :')

I don't know how far in the game you are, but sounds like an unlucky one to get.

i am only to level 25 in skull cavern. thats in many games in 1.5.

You don’t need to go far in skull cavern to get this, you need to finish the community centre or Joja upgrades and then the boat for Willy. It’s easier to get iridium in skull cavern, but you can also get it from geodes or the statue from grandpa after year two.

 

[chaskuchar]

i still need the tiger trout to finish the community center. i finally got the iridium rod but still haven't got the tiger trout. i'm in summer year three.

Tiger trout is available in the river in fall and winter, before 7 pm. I recommend a trap bobber to make it easier to catch.

I would recommend fall, because winter brings with it the nuisance that is Lingcod.
