1.6 Update What happened in your game today?

[Gamer1234556]

Reached Summer 11 (the Luau), Getting close to Mastery in fishing, currently at level 9. Got about 69k in total earnings, with my current sum being 15k. I recently got a coop, but haven't fully crafted it yet. Fishing is carrying my economy atm, farming isn't so hot since I only purchased 50 strawberries in Spring and missed the Speed-Gro... meaning I am sort of lagging behind in farming. At least I have a Iron Watering Can to make watering what little crops I have faster.

Slowly getting the Vault done, usually I depended on the Tea Saplings to do that, but I realized fishing works about as well, if not better, considering Pufferfish, Sturgeon, Super Cucumbers and even Catfish are around in Summer. Clearing the mines really gives me that flexibility. Getting the Red Quartz early by chance really does wonders for you.

So, I decided to go and start that beach farm I'd been thinking about, planning to focus on fishing and ponds. Turns out I actually quite like the layout - the one patch available for sprinklers is plenty good size, and you don't have sprinklers to begin with anyway so at the beginning planting on sandy soil doesn't much matter. And I like the little forage area. So farmer Max (decided to also play a male farmer this time) began his journey on Perdu farm.

I wish I could start a new beach farm save, but I know that would make me abandon my current save before reaching my goal for it. One thing I'd do different would be to utilize the retaining soil from the supply crates rather than just let it pile up or sell it.

Turns out my beach farm save, despite having minimal rain in spring and summer, seems to have a good seed. Fresh off my early prismatic shard, on summer 3 I caught an octopus. Caught an octopus at fishing level 5, and no tackle o_O. It must have been the most well-behaved octopus in the valley, because the pufferfish I caught just afterward gave me more trouble!

I'm just approaching summer end, and on summer 23 I picked up a fishing treasure chest, with a dino egg! Definitely my earliest dino egg, too. I don't even have a coop yet

I know that would make me abandon my current save before reaching my goal for it

Yeah, that is a worry, but I think I'll get back to Anlei's farm every so often. I just really needed a break from all the treasure fishing for animal crackers. Weirdly, I don't mind fishing in the new save because there I don't have to be so laser-focused on treasure chests.

Fall Y 5 is over, it's the first week of winter. Malec is "Protector of the Valley" now and and decisively took the Stardew Valley Fair for himself once more. He took a few "Extended Family"-Quests over the weeks and managed to get at least 5 Legend II and afterwards a few more ponds for them from his mother-in-law. In the barn are living six ostrichs now, but he needs an animal cracker for the last hatched one. Gave all there were to the Legend II, but the ostrich's still a baby, so still a few days left to get one. And at a high luck day a Tiger Slime at GI finally dropped an egg! Another collection completed . Since he knows how, he also managed to see a few trains go by,they dropped some geodes, coal, gold and stone so far. Although the last one passing must have dropped off the Leprechaun shoes. Malec didn't noticed first, but a few days later, when checking his trees around the train station he found them lying in the dirt... Income is steady from all the fish-ponds and ostrichs, roundabout half a million g per week. I'm thinking about trying for perfection, but haven't checked the tracker yet, don't want to see Fizz everytime in the cave... But Malec has to get a lot more crafting recipes first, that's always the point. And a few quests from "Special Order Bord" are still open, no drive to do them...
Maru's still a happy wife and they go so well together that in late Fall she first time asked for a baby. Malec agreed and so they'll be parents soon. Its going to be an interesting season anyway.

I'm most of the way through fall, and I did finally get myself a coop and a barn, although that took a few of dedicated fishing days because at the beginning of fall I just about bankrupted myself buying seeds. I know I'll more than recoup later, of course. I had the resources for quality sprinklers so as of fall I moved my field to the sprinkler area, except for the one lingering patch of corn and a single sweet gem berry which I just water by hand.

I have two fish ponds to start - a sturgeon and a stonefish. Next building is another fish pond which I'm going to try to get a lava eel for.

A picture is worth a thousand words, or, 3 pictures are worth, like, at least 20 words or so. Give or take. However the old saying goes. Whatever.

With this one you're giving me an idea to only leave one type of gem there... See you all in a couple of years when I'll either forget or lose the farm I'll be trying it on.

Well if you forget or lose your farm, you can always just check out MY quarry once it's fully mature. I've been on what I call "phase 2" for a little while already.

That picture may be misleading, as I took it a bit ago. I liked to bomb my quarry now and then just for fun, and of course I would always reset the day.

Oh heck I'll just say it: As of right now I have around 50 Mystic Nodes ;P

How considerate of you to provide me such a backup plan, thanks! Well I'll check out your mystic node quarry even if neither of the things I named happen.

Spent most of my days just processing animal products. Also took 61 pots of ancient fruit jelly from my shed and I'm now brewing 61 pots of caviar in those kegs.
Harvested strawberries and ancient fruit, harvested carrots and planted cauliflower because Zuzu City apaprently wants at least 100 of them by the end of the season.

I currently have 6,5m in gold, so I'm well on my way to get the clock. I just want it to keep the debris off my farm, I'm nowhere near perfection.

Ended up attending the Desert Festival all three days and galivanting down the Skull Cavern until 1 am rather than take care of the crystalariums. Oops. So, I had a few hectic days afterwards to deal with all the cycles that had finished around the same time. Up until Flower Dance. I still haven't desided if I should go or not.

I started playing SDV a while ago just testing it out after a long break. So in my game there's not too much done activities wise. I did plant stuff to test as well since I'm not the best gamer and still newish to this game. Anyway today I was just walking around then I heard like a tree fall sound and looked and saw bunch of wood, saplings and seeds on the ground. I was like um... ok wasn't me and took them.

I don't remembered how or why, but yeah that happens sometimes. Now your house may or may not be invaded by invisible wood choppers who are mad at you for taking their wood. Guess which part of this I just made up.

Lol I see, well bring it on invisible wood choppers!

Did this happen on your farm on a day with a thunderstorm? Lightning striking an ordinary tree can make it fall.

No I was in town near the main square downward from the pharmacy. Also it was sunny and I didn't see lightning or heard thunder. It's like it just popped by breaking and falling. Maybe a glitch I had I play on my Switch.

Caught 5 silver star catfish on a Rainy Day just in time before the Green Rain on Day 13. Got a perfect score for the Luau.
Currently now have 78kg total earnings on Summer 14, on the Green Rain, with a hefty 22kg in my wallet currently.
Got a woodskip and fiddlehead fern to donate to the CC.
Maxed out my 8 hearts to Shane, real tempting to just give him a bouquet because why not lol. I usually give bouquets first come first serve.

Woah, that's a lot of weight to carry around. Your farmer is sure strong!

You're being silly. Kg isn't a unit of weight, it's a unit of mass.

I like being silly ;)
