I’ve gotten back into playing the mobile version of stardew lately on my 5 inch phone screen, it’s pretty painful on the eyes but with some slight setting readjustments it’s honestly not that far from how I play pc, just none of the pc exclusive features I’ve come to love like animation canceling and pause buffering.
Regardless, as I just hit 40 hours on the farm I thought I’d make a fun recap post of what I’ve done so far, just generally.
I started with a lot of minor control tweaking, I use the joystick, buttons, and tap to move setting but don’t use the tap to move part of it as it’s just a hindrance, I wish there was Just a setting “joystick and buttons”.
I then swapped to a horizontal hotbar and also position my hotbar so I can make the most of two fingers being on the screen at once, on manages tools and food and the other manages all weapons, and staircases when mining.
Year 1 I mostly slept away, I only stopped sleeping on the 25th of fall where I decided to upgrade my axe for some reason.
I then spent all of winter 1 winter forage farming, I was able to complete joja 3 odd hours in while also spending money on other stuff. I made 450k in year 1 with only about 6 hours played.
Because of all my joja development form progress I was able to get a galaxy sword before reaching level 10 in the mines by using mystic nodes in the quarry, this and my bought ore turned into an steel pickaxe made the mines nothing.
year two was just a mess of getting to ginger island as fast as possible to get to the part of the game I like most, it took me only 7.5 hours to get to ginger island which I am pretty happy with.
I set my eyes on a dragontooth club, my favourite weapon in this game and potentially the best with the right combat builds. Little did I know this would be one of the most annoying things I would set out to do in stardew…
I didn’t really want to use wines or jellies as they are especially annoying on mobile. therefore I mostly just sold iridium for my money and glided for as long as possible with the winter forage farming money I scrounged up earlier.
mall of year 2 was basically spent on the island and levelling up my skills and mining in the volcano and skull cavern. I did about 70volcano runs in year 2 and never got a dragontooth club or dragontooth weapon in general which is stupidly unlucky.
