I've finally got my farm just the way I want it - it's maxxed out for efficiency in how I like to play (enjoy growing, making preserves & wine, some animals) - and I wanted to show you all!
I'm in summer of year 11 in this game and don't use mods. I'm married to Emliy in this game (usually Leah).
I did have pigs and the big birds (no spoilers), but wanted to keep it simple, so moved back to just chickens, cows and a couple of goats (the goats are just the cutest... I really don't like the way the piggies look in the game!).
The 9 sheds top left are for wine, jam/jelly/pickles making (plus aging wine in the cellar) and the other sheds at the bottom of the farm are diamond replicators. I really enjoy planting and harvesting - always go for the best speed-grow (quality doesn't matter for the preserves!) and mainly stick to one good fruit per season (can use them in the dehydrator too then), but with a few extra veg for recipes, or flowers to sell.
In spring strawberries are my faves, summer it's melons (great for pink cakes which, along with coffee and pumpkin soup are always in my inventory!) and some blueberries, autumn it's pumpkins (the soup!) & cranberries, and in winter I've replicated enough seeds for powder melons all season.
I have a greenhouse full of ancient fruit (plus fruit trees) and a load of star fruit growing 'elsewhere' (again, no spoilers, but I also have hundreds of beehives and more fruit trees there!) - both of these are what I use for making wine.
I've tried to make use of the space well, so have used either lightning rods or mushroom logs as fences (also got mushroom logs in all the coops/barns), plus the mushroom cave - mushrooms are great for keeping the dehydrator(s) fed!
Hope you all like it! Please ask me if any questions :)
I've got 46/49 achievments - never can bring myself to get the Jojomart one as just can't play that route(!) and I've accepted I'm never gonna get Fector's Challenge or Legend of the Prarie King (I am BAD at those games!). I've played 2,100 hours overall - Stardew is just my happy place! :)
