Hill Myna
Farmer
Hello everyone!
It's been a while since my last post (4 months). Minecraft is to blame! :D But I've been playing some Stardew recently and wanted to share the progress & ambitions of my latest singleplayer farm.
Introducing... Birdwatcher's very own Airborn* Farm!
*I only learned after naming my farm that "airborne" has an "e". Why, English, why?
Progress
I'm up to the 23rd of Summer Year 1. Here are some of the things that I've achieved:
Another funny coincidence is that I've sold a Prismatic Shard before I've even sold a Sardine! That's because I never wasted anytime at the Beach in Spring, and was incredibly lucky to receive two Prismas in the Mines. One for the Galaxy Sword, one for the cash!
Goals
Since I've currently got no plans to start another longterm farm after this one, I've set myself some pretty massive goals that I would like to work towards – notice that I didn't say complete, because some of these aren't realistically fully achievable. But I'll give them each a try and complete as much as is sensible!
Collect a full stack (999) of each item
For a select few items, this challenge will be nearly impossible (e.g. Island Artifacts, Rainbow Shells, Octopi).
For many items, this will be incredibly grindy (e.g. all the Fish, Cave Carrots, Fiddlehead Ferns).
For the majority, this will take time but is very achievable (Crops, Forageables, Animal Products).
But for the remaining niche items, this will be a really neat way to add more of the "maximisation puzzles" that I really enjoy. It will force me to learn @FilthyGorilla's Clay farming technique (or come up with my own route), teach me where the best spots to look for Ginger are, or how much Green Algae I can catch in one day.
I also want the crops, forageables, and unique Artisan Products to be Iridium Quality, but not crop-specific Artisan Products (Wines, Juices, Jellies & Pickles); I imagine it will just take way too long to apply all the Fairy Dust. Similarly, the cooked dishes will most likely be normal-quality, because I can't imagine having much fun grinding the same quests over and over for Qi Gems.
Earn 1 billion G
This one might not be as hard as it seems as first, because I'll set it up to chug along in the background while I'm working on my other projects. I plan to fill a quadrant or two (or three) of my Four Corners farm with Auto Fed, Petted & Grabbed Golden Chicken Coops™. If that's not enough, then I guess I'll just have to come up with a better plan!
Decorate the whole Valley, Island & Desert
Pretty self-explanatory. I want to leave no area untouched, so that you can see I've put thought into the aesthetics wherever you happen to be, whether that's the Bus Stop or the Mutant Bug Lair!
Well, that's it for now! I hope you enjoyed the latest addition to Hill Myna's Collection Of Thousand-Word-Long Forum Posts (actually 676 this time), have a great day everyone! :D

stablesteady supply of the speed staples (Coffee & Crab Cakes) - Level 10 in Farming, Mining, and Fishing
