Farmer
MINOR 1.6 SPOILERS IN THE SCREENSHOTS BELOW
Due to my love of watching the ducks swim, I decided to try out the riverland farm. Since there isn't as much planting/grazing space, I wanted to utilize the decorative grass spaces on the largest island for the farmhouse, coop, greenhouse, orchard, and dog spots. I also decided to only use the ground floor of the farmhouse as a house and use the cellar, second floor, and attic in place of sheds for my workshop and artisanal machinery. I ended up with a smaller scale farm overall, but a successful one, and one that I like a lot.
I usually have between four and seven fish ponds, so settling on two was tough but it's working out. The left one started with sturgeons (I think I was at five when I switched it over), then midnight squid (got that one to eight before switching), and then, finally, lava eel. Lava eel and crabs are my favorites, so I'm sticking with them. I've even given them both animal crackers.
I have eight ducks (four have been given animal crackers so far), two chickens (one blue; one void), and a rabbit. I was going to add a dinosaur but I haven't found a dino egg yet and ended up using a spare prismatic shard for the final bundle, so I might just hatch another duck.
Eventually, I'll plant some mystic trees above the mushroom logs on the lowest island and some banana & mango trees along the right wall in the greenhouse.
I usually see three to six ducks in the water, so I'm happy with my farm. ^_^
The Spring screenshot is the most recent (Year 3), but it only has three ducks in the water so I included the Fall one since it has the most ducks I've caught in the water at once. I also thought I'd include a nighttime screenshot and a Winter one, Elliot's 'tea garden', as well as the farmhouse interior.
