1.6 Update What happened in your game today?

[Terdin]

Completed the Extended Family quest for the first and probably the only time this save, despite the Winter Star feast forcing me to do it in just 2 days. Rather than order a new pond for the Legend II I caught, I gave it the Angler pond, and gave it a golden cracker. Should sell the 160 jars of aged Angler roe now that the stack won't grow any further, and a few other stacks to afford the island obelisk since I've got the materials for it, but still haven't decided which stacks.

First ostrich hatched, and was given a cracker. Still no dino egg though, which is also the only thing lacking in my museum collection.

Got the slime charmer ring, but since I used up my cinder shards to put the crabshell ring on an iridium band, it remains uncombined.

Reached year 3, and for once I remembered to take a detour to the shrine for the statue on day 1 of Spring, and placed it too. Having fewer crops to plant and water is what let me have time for it, along with having remembered to make strawberry seeds before the end of Winter. Trying to plant crops to complete the task of shipping 15 of each crop, since I only ship gold quality vegetables unless it's for a "ship 100 of this crop" special order. Have yet to check the special orders board or the available Qi quests, but I hope for the other spring specific special order.

ETA: Oops. 120 jars of aged Angler roe. Memory mixed it up with the sell price of just over 160k G.

Got another 13 Legend II from an Extended Family quest, including one iridium quality Legend II. During that fishing spree, I was able to get my final mastery and the Advanced Iridium rod, and one of the Legend IIs gave me a treasure chest with a dinosaur egg close to midnight. It went into the incubator ASAP, and replacing the Mutant Carp, the Crimsonfish, and the Glacierfish had to wait until the next day. Ordered another pond, despite having to buy the stone for it. Sold the aged roe from the other legendary fish, only keeping the Legend and Legend II aged roe.

Gave Abigail the mermaid pendant the day after that quest ended, and picked the Chef's shirt for the wedding, dying a pair of farmer's trousers to match. Abigail wasted no time suggesting free-range slime farming. Not gonna happen. Slime hutch or not at all.

Took on a Robin's Resource Rush for wood, and then made kegs with the wood. Will place most of those kegs on Ginger Island so I can move the production of starfruit wine out there, but one went into the kitchen for when the raccoons ask for juice. Extended Family was one of Qi's options for the week following the wedding, but I picked Qi's Prismatic Grange since I'll need some time to make ponds for the Legend IIs I have. Went to the volcano to combine slime charmer ring with burglar ring, which makes my life easier. Still not enough G for the Island Obelisk, so I might have to resort to selling off some of my dried purple mushrooms. The stack of those has grown to over 300.

(Yesterday, tehcnically)

Had to reset the day: I got my 10th Squid in the derby at 1:40 AM and passed out on the way to the rewards counter.
On the reset, I had an absurd early run of wimpy fish, so I only got 7 squid by midnight - and decided a lesser prize was better than passing out before getting the full set.

(On both days I had a couple of other errands that couldn't wait due to special board quests, so I wasn't on the beach till 3 pm. I'm not THAT bad at fishing).

Woke up to a house with a kitchen, but opted to hold to (real world) bedtime, and decided redecorating with the stuff that's been waiting in a chest and moving my food to the fridge is a later today thing.

I'd say that Trout Derby and SquidFest are really good times to use a bait maker. First few fish into it, or in the case of day 2 some of the fish from day 1, then having a much better chance of catching the target.

 

[Lenora Rose]

Yeah, this was year 1 for a new farmer, so I don't have a bait maker set up. Otherwise I would totally agree.

I've normally not bothered with a bait maker until I have to make one to reach perfection. In my current save I was able to make one before the Trout Derby and my success there made me use it for SquidFest too. And as usual I've ignored those two festivals in year 2 and onwards, since I've got the prizes I want.

I just bought my first Gold Clock! Three saves, and this is the closest I've been to perfection . I've even killed all the necessary pepper rex (I hit a couple of prehistoric floors on a high-luck auto-petter-seeking run, so I took the time to clear out just those floors), now just gotta kill a handful more mummies and serpents. Oh and make my spouse happy for that last stardrop. Whee!

Middle of winter, year 5. Other than skull cavern killing ,gotta remember to make blue grass starters and set them up in my animal pasture before spring 1!

Completed the museum collection. Was a bit surprised when the dino egg didn't give me the achievement. Seems like I forgot to hand in a Slate, so it took a few geodes to get that.

Sold a full stack of Ancient Fruit Wine, and then got 3 of the obelisks. Now it will be a lot easier to take care of the island farm. Weeds killed 3 of my perennial crops, 1 corn and 2 tomato, while I was busy with the desert festival. Retaliated by extending the starfruit plantation by 4 iridium sprinklers. Then took on a Danger in the Deep quest where one day got cut short because of the Flower Dance. Have enough staircases to be able to force a descent if I start to run out of time. I always force getting to the next elevator floor at the end of each day of that quest.

Leo has moved to town, making him easier and harder to locate for gifting.

I should get a second silo, and maybe sell the goats.

I have made it to year 5 for the first time ever! It only took 10 farms!
