Wine Empire

[Etrama]

Above is the first keg shed i managed to complete on my world. Currently i have7 full keg sheds and im working on my last one. I only needed 956 kegs which was 6.9, but i decided to round to 8 for anything else i’d wanna make into wine.

i used the picture above as a layout for my ginger island ancient fruit farm.

the picture above is the first harvest i got from the greenhouse + ginger island alltogether. First harvest was 600,000g because i didn’t have all my kegs set up

this isn’t an updated picture of my ancient fruit farm on ginger island, but this is with every single possible spot being used for ancient fruit. 116 from greenhouse and 840 spots on ginger island.

the cobblestone pathways are where i was gonna place DRS and placing the pathways helped count how many i would need

165 spots were used that aren’t covered by the sprinklers.

i make 2.2million gold every 7 days, which isn’t enough for my goals but it’s starting capital

You can get upwards of 960 crops on ginger island and in the greenhouse

I’ve got all the spots in the greenhouse filled and the ginger island completely filled, with 956 spots before using deluxe retaining soil

The wine grind, I love it. Honestly, I stopped counting at 800 plants on the island. It was more of a "I make what I make" thing, haha. I didn't know how many spots you could actually fill until today, very cool.

 

[Etrama]

I was the exact same way. I only ended up doing all the new spots because i wanted to know how many i could fit. I’m super sad i can’t plant anything on the sand on the beaches though. I totally would

Could you put garden pots on those tiles?

Yeah, you can just have way more crops if you use pots all over.

Yea you can put garden pots on all the tiles not able to be tilled but i can’t grow ancient fruit in them since it can’t be grown in pots

Is it possible to water garden pots with sprinklers? I was under the impression that one was a no. So garden pots would add a heap of work.

No you can't water Garden Pots with a Sprinkler, a good way to manage Garden Pots somewhat efficiently is to line them up and water them all at once with an upgraded Watering Can.

No but you use deluxe retaining soil which makes it so you only ever have to water them once. Limits you to a 10% growing speed bonus but allows you to have a load of more starfruit.

Right, one of the very late game items I tend to forget exists because by then I'm fully up on sprinklers.

Pots are nice because you can make your own mini greenhouses in sheds that can hold and produce crops (outside of ancient fruit) year round

Deluxe retaining soil is so overpowered. I do use it, but part of me wishes it would do something like keep soil watered for a week. I don't mind watering a little, just not every day.

I like this. My complaint about the other Retaining Soils is the randomness of it which makes it mostly useless for me. With an upgraded Watering Can, you're gonna be watering everything anyway so random Retaining Soil is mostly useless. But if the Deluxe Retaining Soil gave you a week flat of water retention and then you had to water again, that would still be involving enough not to just let the crops sit and do nothing except Harvest and reap that bodacious g landslide.

Maybe as an option in the Remixed Bundles screen?

Once, I set up an indoor pot to grow cactus with quality retaining soil. Turns out I can't tell the difference between watered and dry, so I had to water the silly thing every day anyway.

Yes, I did this exact same thing! And then the second time I did another indoor Cactus setup, I apparently used Speed-Gro at first planting because I could never add Retaining Soil afterwards (which someone here pointed out I likely did as I'd completely forgotten about the Speed-Gro).

I find I can tell if they're side by side.... which would be a point for the randomness Lew decries. But you'd need a bunch of garden pots....

I would hate having to grind all that clay constantly it sucks having to do it on switch already

If it followed the mechanic of the other Fertilizers and Retaining Soils you wouldn't need to reapply the Soil once a week, instead you would only need to Water once a week. OK, except for Winter if you're growing outside on the regular Farm, but most people have moved to Ginger and the Greenhouse for those mega-farming projects.
