Yes, if you have a slime egg press, you can turn 100 slime into one egg and always turn a profit. It's a nice source of passive income.

Yeah I build one on every farm. They look nice, slimes are cute, it's interesting to see what colours they are gonna make while breeding (they can have more different colours compared to the ones you see in the mines) and occasionally selling the slime eggs from the presses adds a nice few thousand g.
Also it allows slayed slimes to drop their eggs. Its only a 1% chance but hey, tiger slime eggs do sell for 8000 g, so its always nice to have one drop. And they look cool

I'm having space problems for my farm rn so a slime hutch is far too distant. I also don't have the bus unlocked for the iridium lol.

I made a mod for myself to have an extended summer. I just used content patcher to swap out the fall spritesheets for summer ones with a slightly modified grass variant. I left the trees and bushes as the autumn ones. I like the effect of it giving a hint of autumn but the grass is still green. It's much less orange which was my goal. And I learnt a few new things about modding.
Plus I sighted the bigfoot again. I was zoned out fishing in the secret woods for catfish on a rainy day and it gave me a big jump scare as it appeared suddenly out of the bushes where the 2 stumps spawn. Then it walked along the bottom edge of the pond only to disappear back into the woods at the bottom left corner of the pond.

It's great. Although I'm broke as **** from upgrading tools and building a barn.

I walked around. I got the first bundle for the community center later than normal (14th of spring, I think?) by foraging. Salmonberry season started. Won the egg hunt at some point. Pretty boring actually.

well that's the last time I do something nice for you. Prick.
I think I just solved the mystery of why your wife left, dude.

There's another benefit to the passive slime income: a steady supply of crafting materials for cork bobbers to stack with fishing buff dishes and challenge bait.
I've lately been doing that in Fall at the waterfalls in Cindersap Forest to load up on salmon.

to be fair, taking the villagers to films they dislike makes for way funnier screenshots.
usually by the time I get the theater up and running the only villager left who actually still needs the friendship points of a liked movie/snack is Kent

Yeah, it may be unlocked a bit late for grinding friendship points, but it's still a fun recreation. I always take my wife Abby there every night of her birthdays after treating her to a sweet confection she favors, be it Chocolate Cake, Banana Pudding, or Blackberry Cobbler.
Luckily, she loves both Fall movies.

Farmer Bobbi wakes up after being out all hours in Skull Cavern the night before, where Gunther needed to haul her out for the modest fee of 1000g (patronizing local businesses is important, think global, shop local!). As she drags her sorry rear outta bed with pockets fulla saplings and an odd assortment of cooked dishes, Emily hits her with:
...
......
Empty blank stare from Bobbi accompanied by a few blinks. She wonders what she did right or wrong but can't come up with anything she's done for the house this season other than add additional bones to the Bone Chest.
"Uhhummmm," Bobbi stammers, waiting in vain per the usual for her brain to produce something useful, looking around the house for some inspiration. "Maybe you're thinking of your other wife?," she finishes, turning back to Emily with a wan smile.
"No you silly I mean everything. Not just the house, the whole thing, the farm and the shop and keeping Robin busy working on new construction!" Emily rolls her eyes in an uncomfortable similar way to her sister. "Sometimes wonder whether you're being intentionally obtuse or merely trying to make me feel comfortable by acting like Haley." She looks Bobbi in the eye and winks with a grin.
"Does just tired count?" Bobbi asks with a little less life than usual. I need coffee where is the coffee brain needs caffeine to process wife noises.
"Awww, c'mere you," Emily wraps a lumpier than expected Bobbi in a supporting hug, squeezing extra hard just because it's fun and plants a kiss somewhere in Bobbi's mop of hair.
"Urg," Bobbi chokes out from within the unexpected vise grip, "Me feels better now, thank you!" Released from temporary bondage, Bobbi pauses to catch her breath but having no more coffee than before doesn't manage much brain.
"Soooo I couldn't help but notice you have some full pockets there," Emily mentions casually, eyebrows raised, seemingly appraising Bobbi but in reality visually rummaging through her full pockets. "Did you bring me a new blouse or dress?"
One blink but this time brain caught hold of a thought. "No, I ended up with like 4 cowboy hats but I left them for the serpents to try on 'cause their bald heads looked cold." A pause as small hands finally find their quarry. "But I got this for you instead, it's real earthy, totally you kinda stuff!"
By the time Bobbi fishes the Survival Burger out of her pockets, Emily is already making a run for it.
"Ewwww groooss!" Emily yells over her shoulder, again in an almost disturbing echo of her sister. "You found some moldy cave burger and now try to foist it upon your truly beloved? What kind of monster are you?" Giggling as she runs down the hall and up the stairs towards the attic.
"Hey get back here," Bobbi protests, setting off to corner Emily using whatever means necessary. "This is fresh from the bowels of Skull Cavern." Puffing up the stairs. "This kinda stuff is... a delicacy! Restaurants in Gotoro pay thousands for these and here..." >Puff< who installed these stupid steep stairs? "...I am offering one to you out of the kindness of my heart!" Hearing a bump in the attic means Emily wants to be caught. Once she gets a head start, Bobbi can rarely catch the taller and faster Emily but the attic is cluttered with one way in and out. Bobbi smiles, finishing the stairs at a slow climb. "I need to fatten you up, you're too skinny and I'll never catch you until I bring you down to my level."
As Bobbi enters the attic, Emily is carefully examining the snake skull, saying, "You do that almost every day when you make me stand one step down on the stairs for your special Bobbi hug."
Bobbi smiles behind Emily's back, "Well I like to be the tall one once in a while even if it means our feet remain strangers. Would you like a savory survival burger freshly separated from its natural habitat? I didn't even make it myself!"
"Oh! Why didn't you say so?" Emily takes the burger and scarfs it down in a decidedly intentionally unladylike manner.
Bobbi spent the rest of the day gathering supplies for her further adventures, Moss and Mystic Syrup from her Train Station Forest and Hardwood from Ginger.
And Golden Coconuts, now past half a stack: 514!
Also tilled under more Ginger crops to make room for 2 new Fruit saplings. Soon it'll be an Orchard only, or from Farmer Bobbi' perspective:
"A beautiful and lazy waste of space." Just like me!, she thinks. Well except the beautiful part but then nobody's perfect, eh?
Returning to the house at 9:40pm, desperate to catch Emms before bed, unusually Bobbi finds Emily in the exact spot she left her in the morning.
Taking in the Natural History Museum-flavored attic full of cluttered bones and skeletons, Bobbi answers this with a very clearly pronounced. "You are such a weirdo." And proceeds to give Emily a empty-pocketed non-lumpy non-bonecrushing hug, which is returned in earnest.
"Now that's why I love you dear, because I was thinking precisely the same thing."
As Bobbi unlocks from Emily, she asks with a bemused smile, "Um, so why did you single out Robin this morning, is there something you forgot to tell me?" But she receives no reply as it's 10pm and per her routine Emily slides away silently to bed with an impish smile.

I was working on the fish collection (and the fish tank bundles) and it seemed like I couldn't catch one particular fish, so I went to the wiki. Of course my memory was off. It's available in Fall, and I'm still in Summer... Not regretting trying to fish for it though, since I got the Jewels of the Sea book, and I've still got a few levels to go.
I got an ancient seed while still in Spring. Not wanting to wait almost a year to get the greenhouse I planted it outside. Then, in the first third of Summer, I got a crop fairy that finished its growth. Sure, it might be just one more harvest I get from it, but still welcome. Getting both that book and an ancient seed that early was very welcome.
The moss harvest during the green rain day went well, but I'm only now upgrading the axe to steel, so I'm experiencing a huge dearth of hardwood.
