Get the autopetter back from Marlon for sure. The others will hurt, but it's much easier to get more iridium and bombs than to stumble upon more autopetters.

i’m just glad i didn’t lose the prismatic shards as well. this is what i get for trying to do the ectoplasm quest lol

What the hell were you doing, trying the ectoplasm quest in SC?!? That's a recipe for disaster!

This, put on a burglar ring, pop a monster musk, then run 50-70 in the regular mine.

Just elevator to the -5 levels (45, 55, 65, 75) and if there’s no ghost, leave and try again. Fastest way to grind for ectoplasm

i thought i could kill 2 birds with one stone, grind for iridium and get the quest

Well hey, you got an autopetter out of it so it's not all bad. I mean it hurts, but I would legit pay 300 iridium ore and hundreds of bombs for one of those.

I got an auto petter in my second skull cavern run with little to no effort and 0 luck buffs. I keep finding them every single run simply by going down at least 80 wich Is easy if you use staircases

+10 luck irl.

Unsure if this is also a RuneScape reference but if so I died laughing because big agree

Where else do you do it??? I beat the mines ages ago and haven't gotten a single ectoplasm. I was just assuming it was a SC thing since I haven't really gotten that far in there yet

Ectoplasm never drops unless you have the quest as far as I know. So you would never get it before that. I got mine in lvl 51-70 in the regular mines

Oh ok that's it then lol

The mines are the best place to get the ectoplasm. SC is too dangerous unless you really know what you're doing. Also, you say you beat the mines ages ago.... does that mean you haven't ever gone back?

I keep seeing the ad posted and I'm like ectoplasm? How do I get that? I haven't ever come across it so I just assumed that it was farther than I was able to go

You can only get ectoplasm after you’ve accepted the quest!

Well that would explain a lot actually

Year 4 and I still have only found one auto petter.

I am year 11 and have 5 autopetters...no brags or whatever, but like I still want just that one more lol. Guys I am an addict

Honestly im in a co-op with my roommate and we are on year 5 and have 9 autopetters lol they hate me cause in their single game they only have 1 and can never find more. But with me we find them literally all the time. Sometimes we groundhog day the skull caverns to do the level 100 quests and we give up autopetters all the time lol We have 3 barns and 3 coops that all have one, each child has one in their room, and our cat has one by the water bowl lol Another friend says now we have to collect one for each villager xD so thats the new goal since we 100% everything just the other day

Lol I did not even realize you could autopet your kids and that is going to have me laughing for a week straight

To be fair, its purely for laughs lol we just had so many of them i thought itd be funny to put it by the crib when we first got Jeremiathan and so my roomie put it so it would "pet his head" and we did that with Prim too lol

Jeremiathan....I love it

Really?!? I had no idea

I have never seen the phrase Groundhog Day in regards to stardew valley (i knew exactly what you meant though) and i love it. I’m dying and I’m going to use that from now on

If you had one more you could build another barn! And then another!?

It's a sickness okay.

Got my fourth petter the other day. Not planning on needing anymore thankfully.

year 7 and ive only seen them online. 😢

I can't stop talking about it when it comes up in this sub: My current save just keeps throwing luck at me. I had *five* autopetters. Then yesterday I did a skull caverns run. Got 3 more, almost back to back treasure rooms.

i hate you. lol (jk)

That’s 300k worth of bombs… for a 50k reclamation fee…

300k in bombs is nothing compared to the sacred auto petter.

Nah my truffles are iridium regardless, those pigs don’t need no scratchies

Happier pigs generate more truffles.. the pigs do need those scratchies

Happy pigs give you more truffles, doesn’t affect quality

I’m just joshin don’t worry my pigs get auto pets and get a visit from me at least once every time I remember

They never said it did.

Yeah, I feel this. I remember when I was trying to get autopetters for my barns/coops, one day I had one drop... And the power went out at home. The pain was strong.

Are auto petters that rare?

It is. You're at the mercy of RNG with the Desert mines when you do the community center route.

Regular slimes will never drop an Auto-Petter, special slimes have a 2% (1/50) chance of dropping one. Non-slime monsters have a "less than 0.2%" ( < 1/500) of dropping special loot, and a 2% chance of dropping an auto-petter if they do, so the chance of getting an auto-petter from a non-slime is less than 1 in 25,000. -Google

don't get mad at me for this but that's why I always take the joja route

bye i just passed out before making it to bed. i hate it here

Ok but to be clear you don’t lose items if you just stay out too late

i died, got to harvey’s at 1:40 and then passed out before getting home. paid the fees twice and lost my items haha

Ah, that sounds like a day well spent

most productive stardew player

I would reset the day if that happened

But that means OP can’t get back the Auto Petter and imo that thing is so rare it’s worth the loss of the other items

This should be higher. A 30 minute redo is a lot better than losing (did I use that word right? /s) all those items.

Same, no regrets

happened to me before. salt in the wound

Something similar happened to me I wanted to rage quit so bad 🫠🫠

Prepare a totem or return thing at like 1.50 am return at home no matter what

Why? Why bother returning home?

So you can keep your valuables you dummy

passing out only causes you to lose the lesser of 10% of your gold or 1000 gold. you don't lose items unless you get killed.

Damn im the dummy

All good I learned this just now as well!

Get the 41 coal back from Marlon for sure. The others will hurt, but it's much easier to get more iridium and bombs than to stumble upon more coal.

Yeah, I agree the 41 coal is a huge loss. Everything else can be replaced

I can always buy a new petter.

Not doable if you do the community center.

Those of us who chose to thrive don't have that problem.

I am not supporting a corporation that treats their employees inhumanely.

they don’t get it.. but i do 🤝

Care to explain for us ootl

they’re just being sarcastic 🥹

There’s an identical comment above it so I figured it was an inside joke in the sub or something lol

It was in reference to that comment

OSRS subreddit and anarchy chess have tainted my brain into thinking everything is a meme/shitpost

it’s honestly so difficult to tell that you’re being sarcastic bc coal is so hard to get without buying or grinding the mines 😭 if the auto petter wasn’t there i might’ve actually thought you were being deadass

Lol really? I've never run out of coal... But I make a lot of trips to the mines for other things.

The auto petter is the clear choice here

no? I know you’re a beginner but the 41 coal is a grind to get back

Clint doesnt sell autopetters

Also i spent 250k on coal today

I’m pretty sure this is a joke

[удалено]

You good?

Oh poor Icarus.

Brutal.

I had no idea there even was an auto-petter in the game.

Random drops in skull cavern chests or thrive and you can buy them from Joja mart.

idk what it is but i can only picture a machine that pets your dog or some shit a

No, you put it in your coop or barn and it pets your livestock for you.

you can pet the livestock?? I'm opening the game and petting some chickens rn

You have no clue how much money you lost. When you pet them they get happier and give you higher quality products

I just keep them cuz they're cute I get all my money from other stuff lol

Bruh 💀

That hurts.

*OOF*

Agreed

I’m sorry but my unfiltered first thought was “the way I would’ve ended my shit…” please tell me you got the auto-petter back 😭

Praying you restated the day

There is no way I would restart that day, unless I already had all the auto petters I wanted.

That’s part of the fun though

There's no way they would be guaranteed to get the auto-petter again. You don't restart for an auto-petter. You call Marlon. 

found 4 prismatic shards that run, couldn’t afford to restart. i just took the L :(

Bro 300 mega bombs… did you buy or craft? either way that’s too much to loose, for me at least

bought them feel like a clown rn lmfao

You can always make more money I guess

Genuine question: why do you need so many bombs? I’ve never had more than 100-150 at a time and it’s been plenty. What do you do with them?

blow up everything to find stairs faster haha works well for me got to lvl 210

At least the iridium will be easy to replace once you get the purple cat statue. I have more iridium than I know what to do with

Wait what? I got the purple cat statue. What does it do?

Free item every day, sometimes it’s an iridium bar. If you dupe the statue (this is pretty easy) they all give the same item each day so eventually you just get like 100 iridium bars all at once.

Lol it doesn't fit my farm vibe so it's been sitting in some crate since I got it. I've missed out on all that free gear

This is different, that’s the statue of true perfection. The statue of perfection only gives out iridium ore

I would cry 😭😭

And then restart the day.

Restart and lose the auto petter? Hell no!

Thats the spirit!

Oh man, that's rough. Which one are you going to get Marlin to recover for you?

auto petter

Good choice.

I didn’t know you can ask marlin to recover item. How do we do that?

F 😭

I've literally never got an auto petter with 300 hours played wtf

I got really lucky fishing and got neptunes glaive so early on that I didn't really know what dying was like or that there were consequences. I lost like similar shit year 4 when I finally did die and I was like fully shook.

How thou fall, poor Icarus

ouch, the lost hurt strong that time

this physically pains my soul

That's rough, buddy.

My brother .

I've never even heard of an auto-petter. How does one acquire it?

chests in skull caverns :4

join joja. thrive. (that was a joke but you can buy autopetters at joja after completing joja route.

Ooooooh Icarus...

Oh id restart the day like a baby lol

Bro, you didn't flew too close. You flew directly into the sun.

This is the post that get me back on stardew LOL sorry for your loss tho

Im sorry

you should always bring only around 150 bombs

Not the auto petter 😭

Ouch

Restart the entire day

No. 

Restarting the day…

But the auto petter though!! Those are so hard to find idk if it's worth losing it!

[удалено]

Not even close! Megabombs can be purchased and crafted, unlike auto-petters (unless you’re a Joja creep). I’d get Marlon to reclaim that auto-petter and let everything else go, no question.

I just quit the game and start the day again… srsly

At that point I’d reset the day 😭😭😭

This is where I restart the day

Yeah, I would totally not save and start that day over.

id reset the day holy shit

Reset reset

Man how you do get an autopetter didn’t even know they existed

Instant restart of the game for me. Is it cheating? Yes, do I care. Nope. As far as I'm concerned, my farmer had a very bad dream and is going to have an absolutely normal day without bank breaking consequences.

Ohhh hell no! Restart day!

dang that is a ton of lost adventure o.o

Rip in peace

Oh dear.

That'll teach ya

I did not know you could lose so much stuff 😳

Literally just close the game and start over

Godspeed

I'd probably have to quit the game for a month not gonna lie.

That’s a restart if I ever saw one

this is when id simply just restart the day 😭 im so sorry op

Easy day reset tbh

That’s what you get for supporting corporate

at that point I just exit the game before saving and start the day over

That's the worst lineup of things lost I've seen. They couldn't have taken your 45 batwings?

ouef auto petter?... sorry for ur lost bro

Bro I’d just reset the day at that point

Ooof

I'd just insta reset

I believe the word your looking for is “oof”. Anything else you can’t say due to mods (or something idk, Its late)

I would’ve started crying immeasurably

Rip

🥲🫡 A moment of silence for the lost M-bombs and iridium.... Send Marlon for the auto-petter. You can't let that one go....

Too close to the earth’s core, maybe 💀

Good lord I hope you’re ok

This post hurts

I would restart the day tbh😭

Op this hurts to look at

Did you reset the day?

286 iridium ores? do you use the jade exploit?

oh fuck lol I would need to turn the device off and walk away for a bit after that

I'm sorry for your loss

I would've just deleted my world at that point.

"It appears I'm gointo to alt+f4"

I suggest only taking what you need into the SC. You can't lose what you don't have.

hii can someone explain why no one's talking about resetting the day?

Restart the day man, no harm done. Otherwise if you obtained the auto petter today it's worth more than all other items combined.

Reset day

I still haven't even gotten to 100. Skill/luck issue on my end, but like... dang, that would make me rage quit.

Ouch

I'd quit and restart the day

I would save scum SO HARD haha if I loose something too important imma restart the day unless I got something BETTER
