A small Keg calculator for planning a shed

[superstar]

The question I was trying to answer was simple: if 84 Ancient Fruit are ready every 7 days and I already have 24 Kegs, how many more do I actually need?

I made a small browser calculator for this:

https://valleymath.com/stardew/how-many-kegs-do-i-need

It gives you:
- the total Kegs needed for the crop and deadline
- whether that fits in one Big Shed or multiple regular Sheds
- the materials still needed for the remaining Kegs

For that example, it comes out to 84 Kegs total, one Big Shed (or two regular Sheds), so 60 more Kegs to craft. The result can be sent straight to the material calculator.

No account or save upload is needed. It is for unmodded Stardew Valley 1.6.x. The Shed capacity figures are based on the layouts listed on the wiki.

There are already excellent full farm planners here; this is meant to be a narrower answer to the Keg-count and materials question. If you notice a wrong assumption or an edge case I missed, please let me know and I will fix it.

Would this be a useful addition to the tools/resources list?

This is a pretty useful idea. Could you please share the roadmap you followed to make it? Is this something you built with vibe coding?

I like these small calculators that solve one specific problem instead of trying to cover everything.

I’ve actually been thinking about making something similar for another game, maybe a Free Fire loadout cost calculator and a sensitivity tracker. My main question is where you get all the gaming information from. Do you use the official website, community sources, or just provide a website to the coding tool and build from that?

I’m using freemaxfire.com a dedicated Free Fire website that seems to have most latest game version with complete information. Would it be a good approach to give that information to Claude and build the tools from it? Or is it better to actually download and play the game, then add real hands-on experience and testing to make the tools more accurate?
