Mobile Save

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.

I wanted to upload more but the forums has a very low limit for file size and I cannot upload any images of my map. I chose beach and have it mostly covered in tiles with 5 barns, 150 crystalariums, a few hundred kegs, and more in year 3 summer.

my money making will be a massive honey farming operation, I have 200 tapped trees in the quarry and desert and will make all of ginger island west a beautiful fairy rose honey farm. I will also have 5 barns of mostly pigs which will be more cash too.

Here are some recent skull caverns dives I’ve done. I’m pretty good with the mobile controls tbh, I used about 100 staircases in each of these runs and about 10-30 bombs in each so it’s primarily pickaxing. 100+ crystalariums I’ve been able to amass are very useful in solely jade production right now.

as you cansee I also got every dragontooth weapon but the club (ALSO I GOT BOTH IN TWO DAYS RIGHT AFTER ONE ANOTHER AFTER OVER 100 VOLCANO RUNS.) I have begun every day by doing farm chores,making a backup save, going to ginger island, to the volcano, I go the Caldera and down to level 9 (it’s locked but then I can see if there is a rare chest or just a common one), if there is a rare chest Igo To level 1 and do the whole volcano and then reset to my backup when I predictably don’t get the dragontooth club.

at this point I’m just going to get an infinity gavel and also use the other dragontooth weapons which I think is a pretty cool looking combo.

I have also had the walnut room open for about a year now and still haven’t gotten the dangerous skull cavern or danger in thedeep which is super annoying, I’ve done the qi cooking challenge 5 times though ._.

This is my house and hotbar layout, it’s a pretty FilthyGorilla house tbh.

I have every skilled but fishing maxed out, fishing is at level 0.
I got to the nut room with only 11 percent completion which I think is pretty cool (lowest is 3%)

That’s everything pretty much without being able to upload full farm screenshots. I did experience some everyday mobile glitches and got some cursed dialogue from robin (is it her aerobics class dialogue?)

next up is getting the honey farm started, more sc, maybe learning to use the slingshot on mobile, infinity gavel, and more fun. Maybe I’ll do an update when I hit 50 hours on this save, it’s definitely the fastest paced save I’ve ever done

Physical picture size limit is 1000x1000, I found out when getting the same headbonk when trying to upload Farm pictures. If you can do a resize on your phone you can try though I find that the Beach Farm's size makes even 1000x1000 to be a bit on the fuzzy side. It doesn't seem like there is a data size limit however or at least I didn't bonk into it when posting my Beach Farm pics.

I got the dragontooth club early on this last save, and it was definitely OP until I got the infinity hammer. Plus, it just LOOKS cool as heck. WHAM!
Yeah all dragontooth weapons outdamage their infinity counterparts when in best scenarios for regular hitting and special on the dagger. Due to hammer special not Critting iirc infinity gavel is better for the most used meta of special attack hammer spam

Holy….
I was just fishing in game and thinking about how I could maybe get the fishing weapons, I love how they look and maybe I could do a full weapon collection on this save.

and holy crud as soon as I think it this happens and I’m just laughing at the sheer coincidence.
Then I go back to fishing and was thinking wow getting the trident would be so cool too (it’s my fav looking dagger)
AND THE NEXT TREASURE CHEST LITERALLY LIKE A FEW CASTS LATER

I also started another mobile save just to fish “FisherGorilla”

I’ve made about 50k off of fishing by end of day 8 which is pretty great, especially for mobile

no great treasure chests there though :(

Have you tried the Volcano on your mobile version? I've tried playing on my iPad and even ported my 11-year save to it. But I can't seem to get the combat down to a comfortable level.
Yeah I ran the volcano like 85? times trying to get a dragontooth club but just gave up because it was hours down the drain.

I got it nearly perfected though, the volcano isn’t too bad,as someone who has played on both though iPad is definitely harder than phone due to you having less specific control.

If you can get used to the joystick and buttons layout and move the buttons and joystick closer to the hotbar it’s pretty close to something like switch and isn’t too bad
