Yep I had one of these today. Crash ate my Legend fish 😰
Tried the day twice for real, then ended up just going straight to bed after waking up and that day advanced. Fucken scared for a minute there.
Summer Year 2 and Ive hit capacity on my main field. I have 4 x 6 of these crop blocks, and two of those honey blocks.
Once the Starfruits mature, Ill complete a Junimo Hut block down in the corner. Need a thunder storm to charge up a few more batteries so I can replace my braziers with lamp posts, and I need some paths and walls now that the farms settling in. Eventually the main field would be Iridium Sprinklers, but I spent all my irridium upgrading tools and setting up the Junimo Hut area; dunno if Ill keep playing long enough to make that happen.
Two Deluxe Coops, one Deluxe Barn. Have some blue chickens, but I havent found a
egg yet. Completed Community Center on the first of the month, I had everything else except a dang Fiddlehead Fern since 1st Winter. One heart away from marrying Maru, and her birthdays coming up.

She told me that and I immediately ran and gave him a spring onion because it I thought it was a leek. Wow he is grumpy.

You have to water everything yourself? I'd love to automate that process, but the sprinklers are pretty finicky and ugly to boot.

Sprinklers, even the medium quality ones are a game changer, days become much longer, second spring I went for a big plantation without them and I was wasting half of the day just in watering.
It seems like the entry-level ones aren't worth making though, yeah?
Real talk, I just want to befriend orcs and make them work my farm like in Rune Factory 😄
I thought they were, I had a full field with just the base sprinklers at one point. Arrange the cross patterns tightly together like you're playing tetris to make it nicer and more efficient.

Never played harvest moon or star dew before . How much of this game is just farming ? Is there much dungeoning / town quests ?
Seems like a very slow game to get into .

No especially if you have planted a lot.

Man I suck at this game. It's now my 2nd season (year 1), I am broke and my farm has only got the Coop upgrade :lol:
I also suck at fishing. I tend to fail @90% of the time.
Loving the game though

Thanks to the Switch release and this thread I finally got back to my farm on Xbox. Summer Year 3 is where I'm at right now and this is how it looks like since a couple of seasons:
My main income is selling wine(mainly Starfruit, but I'm slowly preparing the switch to
). I'm selling Truffles, Goat Cheese and Honey, too. My farm is more of an Artisan Goods type.
What I'm trying to do right now is getting all the remaining achievements.

Edit: It's the Forest Farm.

They're perfect for growing flowers for beehives as can be seen in my first screenshot.
You can't, but keep working on the community center and it'll be something useful again.
Haha, you surely wouldn't want to demolish this one
It's the Greenhouse that can be unlocked by completing the Community Center or giving in to Joja EvilCorp.

I see. It's just that I'm running out of space. Is there a way to increase land size?
Are you using the Standard Farm? If that's so, I'd really like to see your farm. What are you doing that you're already running out of space?
+There is no way to increase land size.

Running out of space? What does your farm look like? That really shouldn't be an issue, especially before you're able to have the greenhouse.

Would people recommend playing this for the first time at the same time as my Mario Odyssey playthrough? Is it the kind of game you put half an hour in every day or is the time investment longer?
I have this theory life sims would make a nice complement to meatier games like Mario, but I could be completely wrong.

I'm in my first year and half my farm is covered in crops with quality sprinklers. It's not difficult to imagine the other half easily taken up by barns, coops, and other stuff.

So is forester or gatherer more useful?
I hate when I get that. Im just like fuckkkkk I dont know.
I chose gatherer cause I dont want to sell any of my wood as its used in a lot of things to build.
BassForever
Member
I looked ahead and gatherer seems like the far better path to take. Either level 10 gatherer reward seems useful, nothing in the lumber path jumps out as being useful.
Like the hat?

It did not rain a single time in Fall year one so I can't complete my fishing bundles until at least next year. Blah.

How do you move chests? Do they have to be empty? Can you pick up your dining room table? Right stick moves the cursor, but it won't let me pick them up. I can move furnaces and the TV and whatnot. Thanks!
Chests have to be empty, then you hit them with a tool like axe.
You can move furniture (except the bed maybe) but its kind of tricky. Make sure theres nothing *on* your table first, then cursor over it and hit Y. Some furniture is placed like its a chest, some is placed using cursor and Y (and can be rotated with A).

I am doing well on everything except Fishing, I totally suck at that and have yet to level up at all in that stat
The fishing in this game is great guys, just keep practicing! As you level up it will become easier to catch some more of the erratic fish, and you'll get used to the controls (which are kinda tricky at first). Probably one of my favourite fishing mini-game designs ever: simple enough to not be fatiguing but challenging enough to be engaging. Just wish there were more types of fish to catch, especially on the Riverland farm

Honestly fences are pointless. Also I remember back in PC I can select what kind of farm I have, how come I can't here?
I thought sprinklers can go farther more, like 4 tiles in all directions?
Right. Summer has finished and autumn has, er, fallen.
Rejigged the farm layout a bit and spent a few days mining gold. The result:
No need to do any watering for a while! Going to spend my fall harvesting crops, then going to look into my first house expansions and animals to keep I think! Got the 36 slot backpack too.
Hit Y to drop/pick up things one at a time.

You can. It's on the right side of the character creation screen.
Regular sprinklers water 4 adjacent tiles.
Mid-tier sprinklers water 8 adjacent tiles (diagonals).
The most expensive ones water 24 adjacent tiles (5 x 5 grid)

I need iridium but can't survive even a couple floors down inthe skull cavern
If you go to
Oasis
I mean I have space, especially if I reorganize my stuff, but would just like to expand

Apologies
Edit: here's some pics from the SV wiki. They should be a better explanation:

no I'm not blaming you, I'm talking about the in-game description
honestly should have the "affected shadow" overlay too
Also you should kill the slimes in Skull Cavern, they have a fair chance of dropping Iridium.

Any good riverland farm examples? I have made it to Winter, and I am sorta wishing I had gone with a different layout. Want to see something that really utilizes the space.
Middle of winter right now. Contemplating overhauling my farming area which has partial sprinklers to full sprinklers with the middle sprinkler. If I miss out on spring income it's not a huge concern if it means fall and summer and water free

Early on just try and learn the way the fish moves up and down the scale. You will get to know what fish you have on the line just by how they react. It is a little tricky at first. but seems to get easier with bait which gets you more casts to practice and tackle which adds all kinds of effects that can make things even easier as well as rod and skill upgrades.
As for how I actually do the game itself. I tap quickly to cover short distances. I reduce my tapping speed to level out. I further reduce my tapping speed to slowly lower the bar. I stop tapping to cover large distances fast. I hold the button in briefly to cover longer distances quickly. Eventually it all just clicks and you are doing these things when needed at the right rhythm and you are getting perfects on what seemed to be erratic fish when you first encountered them.
You don't want to let the bar just drop if the fish is dropping to the bottom as it will bounce a lot without a certain lure. You want to bring it down gently but quickly at the bottom so it bounces less. Some people are more button tappers some people are more holders just have to find what works for you.

I need big catching. I need my animal crossing fix now. Bug catching would be dope. Maybe add an event tied to it with a contest for best bug.
