The daily not-a-daily Stardew Valley post

Once more behind the cut. Short and sweet. A sad lack of screenshots.




  • Upgraded my house, and learned why I hadn't previously been able to figure out how to cook. Yay a kitchen!

  • Built a chicken coop. Next coop is being built now (ducks I think?).

  • Biggest challenge of the game thus far: Finding Marnie actually working at the ranch so I could buy animals.

  • Got a spiffy ring from a fish: It's like a flashlight in a ring, keeps an area around me bright at night/in caves.

  • Caught a legendary fish (no idea what to do with it. I dropped it into storage. Hope it won't rot or something.)

  • Fruit bats moved into the cave on my property. Haken would approve.

  • Bees made honey. Have not seen a bee yet.

  • Bought two hats from the hat mouse. I'd like my money back. They look horrible on Haken.

  • When attending a luau, apparently it's not recommended to add seaweed to the communal soup. (Sorry everyone.)




Farming is my least favorite part of the game thus far (other than making friends with people). I think my sprinkler isn't working (the 8-square one, not the basic 4-square one). It doesn't seem to water anything. Life is too short to water crops with a watering can.

Current big/long term goal: Fish up the special sword. I enjoy mining/fighting critters, but my sword isn't so good.

Haken named his chickens: Chicken, Hen, Bird, and Rooster (the hen). Naming the rest of his animals is going to be fun.

[livejournal.com profile] kelen's idea to spread the machines out was a good one. Also, two forges are much better than one, especially when you have things like gold bars to make...

Wish I had more time for mining, but my time (energy!) right now is split between fishing on rainy days and clearing my land on sunny ones.

I think probably you have to put water IN the sprinkler and then it will water things the next morning? I am just guessing, I haven't bothered with mine yet.

I will totally get a chicken coop next though, and upgrade the house after that! I chose the mushroom option for the cave, and then forgot I did that, and didn't actually check for mushrooms for like, several days, but now I have mushrooms! YAY! Also I spiled a lot of trees.

I still can't get in Marnie's freaking house because I missed her birthday BECAUSE I WENT TO THE PUB TO FIND HER AND ELLIOT CAME IN AND GOT ME DRUNK BECAUSE HE IS SUPER INTO ME. He likes lobsters, and I get a lot of lobsters in my crab pot so I'm all here you go dude and he's like ALI YOU ARE SO GREAT YOU BRING ME LOBSTERS.

Also I got into Sebastian's room and found out why he is emo, I would be emo too if my mother called me Sebby WHEN OBVIOUSLY BASTIAN IS THE ONLY PROPER NICKNAME FOR A SEBASTIAN.
