So I was thinking how I could make Stardew valley more difficult. I came to the wonderful conclusion that I shouldn't fish, forage, or farm. I don't know how I came to this conclusion but this is where I've ended up. If you have any ideas of ways to generate revenue outside of mining and cooking OR even ways to finish bundles that I can't do in the generic ways, it would be much appreciated.
If for some reason you don't believe me(I can send the vod), or just want to know more about the challenge or why I'm doing it, just chat me.
THE MAIN GOAL- COMPLETE AS MANY BUNDLES AS POSSIBLE WITHOUT FARMING, FISHING, AND FORAGING.
Rules-
The reasons I am against crab pots/tapping trees/mushrooms being picked up in mines is because I did some research. I found out that Garbage Cans around Pelican Town have almost every foraging item and fish available in them during there respective season. Not only that but the Traveling Cart offers almost every crop I need for the bundles as well. On top of that she offers foragable's from the beach, normal foragable's, more fish, artisan goods, animal products, syrups, and cooked dishes.

Now don't get me wrong, the trash cans and traveling cart are very high rng, but this challenge was never supposed to be easy.

Goals Completed-
If for some reason you don't believe me(I can send the vod), or just want to know more about the challenge or why I'm doing it, just chat me.
THE MAIN GOAL- COMPLETE AS MANY BUNDLES AS POSSIBLE WITHOUT FARMING, FISHING, AND FORAGING.
Rules-
- No Foraging. This does not include chopping trees/wood, breaking stones and scything weeds.
- No Fishing. This is one is fairly self explanatory.
- No Farming. This includes livestock, planting, trees, beehives. Anything you can think of that could classify as farming counts.
- If you think there are other rules that need to be specified(Or you have questions) put them in the replies.
- Should I be allowed to be tap trees?
- Should Crab Pots be considered fishing?
- Should I be allowed to pick up mushrooms that are in mines?
The reasons I am against crab pots/tapping trees/mushrooms being picked up in mines is because I did some research. I found out that Garbage Cans around Pelican Town have almost every foraging item and fish available in them during there respective season. Not only that but the Traveling Cart offers almost every crop I need for the bundles as well.
