1.6 Update What happened in your game today?

[Terdin]

Went to Clint with golden coconuts, artifact troves, and omni geodes, using the predictor to only get mahogany seeds from the coconuts. The other two didn't matter as much, but I tried to pick ones that stacked, like I'd rather pick another three stones than an artifact I didn't already have in my backpack. Took over 100 openings before I had opened all 14 coconuts. Would definitely repeat it. Of course, now I've got more mahogany seeds than acorns, but that feels like a smaller problem.

Added 33 outdoor kegs to Ginger Island, and stuffed them with hops. Also got a bunch of honey to turn into mead, but that's for later, I guess.

Nothing too much in a co-op game I'm playing in for me at least, I'm just helping my friend with stuff gathering supplies and watching over the farm. I'm still new too it so I need to practice more.

I just went to the Feast of the Winter Star, and Dr. Harvey gave me beer. I swear, officer, it's prescription!

 

[helltaker]

well, i lost it actually BAHHAHA i was removing and adding mods that i thought was irrelevant to my gameplay after using them THEN. the entire game crashed even after troubleshooting everything, which is insane because i was so close to perfection. that's why im out here writing stories to stop myself from a very valid crashout

Started pickling my taro roots, having decided to avoid most of the Qi quests, or rather not bother with completing them anymore.

Tried to rush through the farm chores during the Desert Festival, but still only managed to get there around 2 am. The mushroom/roe shed is one chore I won't skip, since it can mean a payday of over 600,000 G. Still got a decent haul with enough calico eggs to buy just about whatever I wanted.

Picked up an Extended Family quest, and debating whether to go to the flower dance today, or to go fishing for Legend II... I do have enough fish for the remaining ponds I can squeeze into the quarry, so I guess dance it is.

I started a new save, and I'm having trouble with the remixed fish bundles. I just can't seem to get a gold-star walleye.... And I'm running out of time.

So now I'm concentrating on buying the vault bundles, but I don't really feel like waiting a full year to get that stupid fish. I need a regular one and a gold-star one. I only had very few rainy days in fall, I even restarted them a few times, but somehow the stupid walleyes don't seem to like my bait. Never had that problem before (this is my sixth save in 1.6).

I'm talking myself into getting a JoJa membership once I've finished the vault. It shouldn't be too hard to get the money for the membership and the boulder removal. (Not as hard as getting two walleyes (one gold) and an eel. LOL!!)
(I did complete all the other bundles, I just have the vault and the fishtank left to do, but it's the end of fall, there's no more rainy days.)

Seems like you need some rain totems. I tend to get too many of them in the treasure rooms in the Skull Cavern. But of course, with those treasure rooms, you never seem to get what you hope to get.

I started a new save where I can't buy seeds (except for strawberries), I can only plant stuff people give me or wild seeds. Which is....uh, going to be interesting. I didn't realize the seed maker doesn't unlock until Farming 9. One strategy that suggests itself is doing Joja so I can get the greenhouse faster, then use the greenhouse to work on my strawberries

Doing a similar thing right now, not buying any seeds from Pierre, Joja or Night market (possibly oasis too, I'll decide when I get to it). Also put a restriction on ranching bc if crop farming is limited, animals gotta be too. Also my first time playing on 25% margin (or anything other than 100%), its been interesting so far!

Started a 7th save lately, this time as Multiplayer (first time ever) on riverland map... Feels quite relaxing so far and I didn't think of mining or combating being such fun when done not alone. And CC will probably be easier, too
Thank you, partner

I finished the vault bundles, so now I can go to the desert. Wish I had a shard, I'm a bit scared to go into the skull caverns without my galaxy sword... (I have a tempered broadsword at the moment).

Still thinking about doing JoJa for the last bit, though. It's a tough choice, as I do like completing the CC, and I know it matters for grandpa's evaluation (attending that ceremony and getting that award is 2 points that you can't get with JoJa).
On the other hand, I do like the town with JoJa in place (and open late), and the movie theatre looks great on the CC spot. Also, Pierre could use the competition...
The rewards I'd miss are a glow ring (I already have one, and a glowstone ring) and 5 dish-of-the-sea. Doesn't seem worth the wait...

Decisions, decisions...

If you can afford it, you could buy a lava katana at the Adventurer's Guild. Better damage, faster swing, and still getting a defense boost.
