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.

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 wondered about having to load the sprinkler up with water or something... I need to check it out more later.

I thought about mushrooms, but since I like going mining, I figured maybe I'd find them there. Plus I read that the fruit from the bats (fruit bats, HEE!) help you fill out those bundles faster (at the community center), so I went with those. Plus Haken would totally like bats better than mushrooms.

I can't get into any houses/rooms yet! Arg, I just don't care about relationships. I'm still only at two hearts (one heart level for each of twp people) total. So much to do and not enough time to do it!

Gah! Sebby is THE WORST! Bastian rocks. You and I can call him Bastian when we're married, DEAL?
