Feelings about infested mine levels?

[xantres]

How do you feel about infested mine levels? Are there any specific levels that you especially like or dislike?

I had a pleasant surprise today on infested mine level 13, the level with a huge patch of dirt. It was so much fun finding all the hidden duggies! It was like a whack-a-mole minigame lol.

I think they're pretty good at any time, except when you're trying to rush down floors.

They annoy me lol trip me up when I’m trying to run

Depends on what yer doing. If you're working on Gil's Monster Eradication Goals so you can get that very pleasant to wield

Insect Head, then infested levels are a godsend. However if I'm just trying to get down another 5 levels to open up the new Elevator floors, then the infested levels are awful.

I never really find them a bother tbh. I beat the living crap out of the enemies pretty easily and it's actually pretty fun lmfaoo.

I love them. Easy monster eradication goal progress and also I get to kill some monsters.

Great for monster eradication goals as BeenASon mentioned, and good farming levels if you're using monster loot to make money, or going for special monsters for specific items you can only get rarely from them.

I'm doing a sort of stacking/999 challenge and they're really useful for farming qi gems, a massive portion of the challenge. I've farmed so many monsters (like a third of a million) for so long I even have optimized rankings of basically every infested/normal floor

I love the whack-a-mole floors! Also, the "sneaky" rock crabs that stand out so much on infected floors.

I have very poor luck getting the correct one when I'm going for a monster slayer goal or resource farming. Getting slimes when I need bats, spirits when I need slimes, etc.

I love whacking monsters. Please don't tell Krobus.

My take on infested floors: either I'm spamming staircases and skipping the level anyway, or I'm literally in the mines to kill monsters for XP or loot so the floor being infested just makes it MORE fun.

 

[Confused]

They're fine. I don't like the slime monster levels specifically, though. Where only slimes spawn. They're not too bad, though.

Love when I get a bunch of bug enemies to slice through. Bug murder is my favorite Stardew activity.

Infested Level 61 is one of the greatest things in the game.
