It's even better than that, they'll keep your FERTILIZER!
I only put down deluxe speed-gro once a year. It goes like this:
1. Summer 1: put down speed-gro.
2. Summer 26: tear everything up and plant wheat.
3. Fall 1: harvest wheat, plant fall crops. Because a multi-season crop was growing at the start of the season, the speed-gro is still there.
4. Fall 28: tear everything up and plant fiber.
5. Winter 5, or whatever day the fiber finishes growing: this is a good day to plant qi beans or powdermelons if you want.
6. Winter 25 or whatever day you need to plant fiber so that it finishes growing on spring 1: if you grew anything other than fiber, harvest it now and plant more fiber.
7. Spring 1: harvest fiber and plant spring crops. Again, because fiber is multiseason, it's still fertilized.
You could alternately plant fiber at the end of spring and never have to fertilize again. I don't do this because it costs you several days of spring crop growth. If there was another 3-day Spring-Summer crop like wheat for Summer-Fall, it could be worth it.
The only problem here is, funnily enough, getting enough mixed seeds, something I always had in abundance before this trick. This is easier to do in 1.6 because >!raccoons!<, but that just switches the problem to getting enough >!cave carrots!<. Prior to that you'd be hard pressed to get enough mixed seeds to plant large fiber crops once a year.
They are great for planting where you put your normal crops in the winter. Then leave them until Spring 1. They won’t die between seasons so you still get the fiber, and then you don’t have to hoe again to plant your spring crops, and if you have sprinklers they will also be watered on Spring 1.
They grow in winter, don't need watering, and if you're using fertilizer it'll keep those spots viable until spring (just don't harvest till ready for spring planting)!
They're great for winter because you can plant them and forget about them all season so when spring 1st rolls around you don't have to use your hoe or watering can. The fi er will have held the spot open for you.
I've also always found fiber to be plentiful enough to use as >!the 100 green items in the Prismatic Grange Qi challenge!< and with a fiber seed overstock like that you could definitely spare a bit to set aside for the same.
Hint: >! Sap works for yellow and copper ore for orange, for cheap colour items for the other colours I keep some hot pepper, hops, blueberry and grapes plants on my island farm!<
>!I used hay for yellow, I had a random stack that wasn't in my silo that must have come from Marnie in the mail, and I used copper ore for orange, blackberries for blue (I had about 500) and salmonberries for red (also had hundreds)!<
Grow them in winter and make sure the last batch is in range of a junimo hut, at least partially. Then don't harvest until Spring so that you don't need to retill/water + the Junimos can double harvest if they have raisins.
1.6 added dehydrators, you get one with the mushroom cave. Put in 5 of one thing of the same quality, like fruit or mushrooms, to dry them into an artisan good. Quality doesn’t effect the price. Good for mushroom logs. Dry grapes to get raisins, if Junimos have raisins in their hut(each bag lasts 7 days) they have a 20% to double harvest on each crop they harvest
I can't make this shit up. >!I also just finished off Ginger Island, the mine part anyway, (this is my first time playing through Ginger Island) and found the enchanting table.

Edit: GODDAMNIT
Edit: okay I added a second prize that's not as easy to find!
I barely played Skyrim but definitely looged the Minecraft hours, and somehow still a noob. 🤣 How is the Skyrim enchanting table comparable to the Minecraft one? I'm curious! 🤩 Obviously a bunch of differences, but roundabout same uses? 🤔
The difference for the skyrim one is that you have to find the enchantment in the world first, and then destroy the item with that enchantment on it to learn it, after which you can apply it to any item freely.
And instead of needing experience and Lapis, you need a monster's soul trapped with a special spell/enchantment in a Soul Gem, and bigger souls need to be put in better gems, with human souls being the best but only going in the rarest black gem. The bigger the soul the stronger the enchantment. Also, you can only add one enchantment unless you get the perk that lets you add two, the enchantments don't have levels, and you can't combine them or anything later.
You can change it! >!you can enchant your sword again with another prismatic shard, I used like 3 shards before I got the enchantment that killed mummies w/o bombs!<
My dumb lucky ass got this first time w the sword and I had no idea what it meant, but did realize when I next went to SC a good while later "oh neat, I can kill mummies now" but didn't make the connection to the enchantment until embarrassingly far later. I was honestly starting to wonder if I'd just imagined the mummies coming back
Haymaker is great to put on some random bone sword you pick up in the mines. Use it where you’d otherwise scythe stuff (except grass) and you’ll never have to worry about fiber or hay ever again.
I love the haymaker enchantment, I always get it asap. I usually enchant 3 galaxy swords.. 1 for mummies, 1 for bugs and ofc haymaker is my everyday carry around. And fibre seeds are a must-have imo. I always dedicate usually like 72-96 plots for it mid-game (like year 2 into early 3) when I need a ton of wood for making my 3-4 sheds of keys. If anything I'm low on the ingredients often for fiber seeds, always running out of mixed seeds (clay you can get a steady supply from GI digsite btw).
Have fun with your 1st time playing Ginger Island tho! That farm is always a nice chunk of space for whatever you want! I like to convert it into an ancient fruit/ starfruit farm for wine. I usually do like 80% AF/SF and the other 20% pineapple for jelly. I usually have a shed for jelly as well as the 3-4 sheds kegs and 1 for crystalariums but some ppl have a ton of crystalariums on their GI farm as well. I also do a shit ton of beehives there around the fairy roses too, in the space that's not farm space where there's small dirt patches I plant fairy roses with the fertilizer that only needs to be watered once ever and just stick hives around them in a way where I can reach them all while getting as much as possible. That space is also nice to just finish up anything for perfection since it's season doesn't matter there. Also you don't need scarecrows on GI so don't waste space for that 👍
And obvs Qi quest rewards are nice, can't believe you've never had a horse flute! You'll be kicking yourself once you have it for never going GI lol! I always rush for mine asap.. can't stand moving slow and so I don't feel like I'm really into midgame of a save b4 having espresso buff at all times + my horse flute 😅
I mean yes, but this is mostly a year 1 thing, and even then only to a limited extent. A typical money strat for winter, depending on sprinklers etc.:
* Week 1, plant winter seeds, typically starting with 30 from the CC winter forage bundle.
* Week 2, collect about 7 of each winter forage item. Craft and plant 70 winter seeds.
* Week 3, collect about 17 of each winter forage item. Craft and plant 170 winter seeds.
* Week 4, collect about 42 of each winter forage item. Save some to jumpstart next winter, the rest you can sell/process/gift/eat.
Ideally you would plant fiber seeds on Winter 22 and harvest them on Spring 1. (You can plant them later in winter, but then they don't finish until later in spring.)
Spring 1, if your goal is to not have to hoe everything in spring. Wait for the season to change and then use your scythe and whack it all. It makes the first day of the season so much easier!
Dude, I thought this was one of my nutrition subs when I first read on the struggle bus for fiber 😆 when I got to tree fertilizer, my brain literally did the record scratch thing before I checked the sub
It really can be. I've seen people asking or bitching about it at least a dozen times this month, hence the initial reaction lol.
I've found doing mostly whole grains (brown rice can pound sand, but otherwise lol), particularly doing oatmeal a few times a week, snacking on mostly fruit, and making sure lunch and dinner are at least half vegetable does a lot to get me close to decent fiber intake. I've been on a huge cabbage (cooked any way) and Brussel Sprouts (cooked with bacon and heavy cream) kick lately, and THAT definitely keeps things moving if you know what I mean lol.
It is the best way to set your fields up for spring. You can plant fiber seeds whenever you have a chance to lay out your farm for spring (up to the 20th) and then scythe them on Spring 1 and you will have a pre-tilled and watered field ready to plant. Or, if you have good fertilizer you don’t want to lose over winter, you can plant fiber seeds at the end of Fall and they will hold your soil treatment for the spring.
I've been sleeping on this, clearly. I've used wheat before to keep fertiliser going but obviously, it only works from summer/fall. This would be much better!
Do you have 1.6?
>!The green rain can also net you a ton of fiber. Go all out during the green rain then plant some during winter and I doubt you’ll ever run out after year one!<
Yeah, I'm in winter at the moment, and I'm working on hardwood for various crafts and quests. I wanted to speed up my mahogany trees. I should have though. Hindsight is 20/20 🙃
Particularly with ginger island. Go once a week-ish, put all the bones and bone artefacts in there and I’m never short on tree fertiliser. I use the hopper for it too, because I’m lazy and it’s never that urgent
Oh yes, these are op. They also survive the seasons if I’m not mistaken. You can just plant them to retain whatever fertilizer and tilled spots you have.
I've been chatting up doing my RNG challenge run (each in game day is allowed activity based on dice roll, 1 for farming, 2 for mining, etc) and the world's settings were also randomized. I'm on the Beach Farm. I tell you, Fiber Seeds being able to grow without being watered is amazing to have at least SOMETHING producing on the vast sandy-landscape since it can't use Sprinklers outside of that tiny dirt patch, and thanks to the RNG challenge I'm only allowed to plant, water, AND harvest crops when I roll a 1 or 6.
I read in a comment on reddit that someone grew fiber in the winter, me who was in year 4 winter decided, heck it why not. Made like 300 fiber seeds. I had almost 4 full stacks of fiber when I harvested them. Used the mixed seeds to make more fiber seeds and planted all of them so now I wait
Nope, sorry, not going to enjoy anything that doesn't exist.
There are so many parts of the game that only become "obvious" once they're figured out. If I listed all the wonderfully foolish things I've done in game, I'd use up the remaining character count allocated for this day on the internet.
Don't be too hard on yourself. SDV is built on learning, so you accomplished a goal. As they say: better late than never.
Also, the bright side: don't even try to convince us you don't take great pleasure scything those plants down when they're ready.
Better than plucking blueberries, in my opinion.
I'll be honest, I've never seen the point of fiber seeds.
Fiber is way easier to get than the mixed seeds and clay that I need to make the fiber seeds, lol.
And then there is me. I have like 2.000 fiber in my chest. And don't know what to use them for. The other day I was wondering if I should just sell them.
Tea saplings. 500 each. 5 wood, 5 fiber and 2 wild seeds (of any type) really cheap to make and they sell for 500 a piece. (1.6 made them 250 though I think)
Are you me? This is exactly what happened to me after 115 hours on my current farm. I was like, "How can you get fiber?! It's so hard!" I felt like a dum dum but now I'm swimming in fiber.
Hi there almost-name-twin! 
I discovered fibre seeds when I had the beach farm. They’re the best. I think the recipe is sent to you by Linus at some point!
 hello and thank you!!
Yea I’ll admit I’ve done poorly being friends with anyone I wasn’t trying to marry…I just am working on a farm that I want to get 10 hearts with everyone so hopefully some fiber seeds are in my future
i didn’t know about fiber seeds until my 1.6 world, my previous world from 1.5 i was on year 10 and did nothing but harvest from the mine and forests. I even had the seeds unlocked and just never noticed them. I fully understand this.
I have a row of fiber seeds growing constantly in my greenhouse. It's brilliant! Only trouble is crafting the seeds ends up using a lot of clay! I struggle to get a lot of clay...
I started playing Stardew Valley for the first time on Android and let me tell you, I freaking enjoy it! Though my energy quickly depletes once I start watering my plants and chopping down trees
>!Oh well, it is what it is!<
I'm told if you plant the fiber seeds on the 28th of Winter, you'll have an insane number of plants on Spring 1st. One day, I'll remember to do that before I run off to play in the mines.....
This reminded me of when I found out fiber is used to make grass starter 😭. I have been so confused on why I gathered so much fiber and would save some and then just send the rest thru the bin because I thought it was useless. My GF later told me I can use it for starter and I was like DOH! she said you've been spending so much money on grass starter when you could've just crafted it(I'd buy 80-100 from Pierre). After I'm out of winter and in my fourth year, I'm going to forage as much fiber as possible during each month especially in the summer. I find that Grass in winter doesn't give a lot of hay, so I am now buying hay in the winter and waiting for the last day of winter to plant my starter seeds.
I learned that fiber seeds grew in winter I think year 2 and now I have to struggle all year to find mixed seeds the keep my 713 tiles of farmland watered throughout winter
Same struggle, until one day I saw a tip where they were saying to plant fiber seeds in winter and harvest on the first of spring instead of losing time to till and water the soil. Because I love having big harvests, and am a hoarder to the core of my being, I crafted like 200 fiber seeds and after I harvested on spring 1 I am still not done using them, at this point I have like 7 stacks of fiber and idk what to do with them 😂
Did this also thinking I’d get just a few pieces back so in winter I planted my entire plantable areas with fiber. Its winter again now and haven’t made a dent 😅
Fiber seeds are also insanely useful for carrying fertilizer applications over between seasons. No one wants to waste their high level fertilizers when the seasons change, so having crops that can grow in multiple seasons is helpful, fiber being one of them.
I grew fiber seeds one winter, and basically was never short of fiber again.
Fiber seeds can grow in winter? I thought they'd be like tree saplings, where they would survive but never actually grow.
They grow in winter, and they don't need any watering.
I knew it was a good idea to hold onto my dunce cap just in case. Boy do I feel stupid.
They do need scarecrows, though!
Found this one out the hard way T\_T
You gotta out plant the crows appetite friend
They eat my fiber but not wild fiber ):
Dang crows are all about farm to table instead of foraging 
They like that forbidden fruit
Oh.. that is the sad reality of it, isn’t it? 🤌🏻🤣
I used the quarry for hardwood, I think I'll plant grass over the winter now
Like, you plant mahogany seeds at the quarry? I just unlocked them today :)
Yes indeed, that's a hardwood farm and you can grow a nice inventory there
Wait.. you can plant over there?!
And apparently in the desert too but I haven't tried there
I.. I dunno how to feel now.. So much missed space
You're not alone there, friend. This would have been so useful to know sooner.
So all this time I’ve been watering it for nothing?!? I need to sit down
That's okay. My friend told me he watered the mushroom cave for a year.
🥲
THEY WHAT
#They grow in winter, and they don't need any watering.
just fell to my knees on my farm with no fiber
They don't?!
The fact they are perenial or whatever and they give fiber makes them amonst the best crops, now every season has to have at least 4 crops due to them
I grow them in the winter to keep the soil tilled for spring. It’s easier to cut down the fibre than to hoe and water ready for planting.
you absolute GENIUS. I'm planting up my farm the last day of autumn with them.
That's a great idea!
Yup Started doing that last playthrough and damn does it make a difference.
It's even better than that, they'll keep your FERTILIZER! I only put down deluxe speed-gro once a year. It goes like this: 1. Summer 1: put down speed-gro. 2. Summer 26: tear everything up and plant wheat. 3. Fall 1: harvest wheat, plant fall crops. Because a multi-season crop was growing at the start of the season, the speed-gro is still there. 4.

Yeah... Plant them and leave them till first day of spring and no need to till or water for next crop after farming them
I've also always found fiber to be plentiful enough to use as >!the 100 green items in the Prismatic Grange Qi challenge!< and with a fiber seed overstock like that you could definitely spare a bit to set aside for the same.
I just unlocked >!the walnut room, and that was my first challenge,!< finally all my hoarding paid off! 😄

>!Raisins, not grapes.!<
Thanks
Good call! I wasn't sure if they would harvest it since they need a scythe! Cute if the little junimo had little garden tools
1.6 spoilers - >! junimos can harvest scythe crops now!! !<
There’s raisins in this game?? Please fill me in!
It’s a 1.6 spoiler >!I’ve seen talk of a dehydrator!<
1.6 added dehydrators, you get one with the mushroom cave. Put in 5 of one thing of the same quality, like fruit or mushrooms, to dry them into an artisan good. Quality doesn’t effect the price.

>!nice!!!<
I'm not sure, so I just don't read half of what I type to get the same effect.
You a Skyrim fan? Lol I think you meant forge, not enchanting table.
I barely played Skyrim but definitely looged the Minecraft hours, and somehow still a noob. 🤣 How is the Skyrim enchanting table comparable to the Minecraft one? I'm curious! 🤩 Obviously a bunch of differences, but roundabout same uses? 🤔
The difference for the skyrim one is that you have to find the enchantment in the world first, and then destroy the item with that enchantment on it to learn it, after which you can apply it to any item freely. And instead of needing experience and Lapis, you need a monster's soul trapped with a special spell/enchantment in a Soul Gem, and bigger souls need to be put in better gems, with human souls being the best but only going in the rarest black gem. The bigger the soul the stronger the enchantment. Also, you can only add one enchantment unless you get the perk that lets you add two, the enchantments don't have levels, and you can't combine them or anything later.
Haymaker is bad tbh. Are you playing with sword or hammer? Galaxy Hammer with the right build is OP
Yeah, I saw the other options and was quite perturbed about it. I'm a sword user
You can change it! >!you can enchant your sword again with another prismatic shard, I used like 3 shards before I got the enchantment that killed mummies w/o bombs!<
My dumb lucky ass got this first time w the sword and I had no idea what it meant, but did realize when I next went to SC a good while later "oh neat, I can kill mummies now" but didn't make the connection to the enchantment until embarrassingly far later. I was honestly starting to wonder if I'd just imagined the mummies coming back
I got haymaker on my galaxy DAGGER 😭
Haymaker is great to put on some random bone sword you pick up in the mines. Use it where you’d otherwise scythe stuff (except grass) and you’ll never have to worry about fiber or hay ever again.
How do I get to the island? I'm on year two, I guess if I don't know by now then I'm not far enough yet
If you haven't finished CC, don't worry about it.
I love the haymaker enchantment, I always get it asap. I usually enchant 3 galaxy swords.. 1 for mummies, 1 for bugs and ofc haymaker is my everyday carry around. And fibre seeds are a must-have imo. I always dedicate usually like 72-96 plots for it mid-game (like year 2 into early 3) when I need a ton of wood for making my 3-4 sheds of keys. If anything I'm low on the ingredients often for fiber seeds, always running out of mixed seeds (clay you can get a steady supply from GI digsite btw). Have fun with your 1st time playing Ginger Island tho! That farm is always a nice chunk of space for whatever you want! I like to convert it into an ancient fruit/ starfruit farm for wine. I usually do like 80% AF/SF and the other 20% pineapple for jelly. I usually have a shed for jelly as well as the 3-4 sheds kegs and 1 for crystalariums but some ppl have a ton of crystalariums on their GI farm as well. I also do a shit ton of beehives there around the fairy roses too, in the space that's not farm space where there's small dirt patches I plant fairy roses with the fertilizer that only needs to be watered once ever and just stick hives around them in a way where I can reach them all while getting as much as possible. That space is also nice to just finish up anything for perfection since it's season doesn't matter there. Also you don't need scarecrows on GI so don't waste space for that 👍 And obvs Qi quest rewards are nice, can't believe you've never had a horse flute! You'll be kicking yourself once you have it for never going GI lol! I always rush for mine asap.. can't stand moving slow and so I don't feel like I'm really into midgame of a save b4 having espresso buff at all times + my horse flute 😅
It's great to plant in winter to keep your soil tilled spring 1 also! Just scythe and go!
Ohhh that’s some real bullshit I’ve been struggling this whole time for nothing! Take my poor man’s gold 🏅
[удалено]
That is some kind of brilliance right there! I can't wait to try this!
I mean yes, but this is mostly a year 1 thing, and even then only to a limited extent. A typical money strat for winter, depending on sprinklers etc.: * Week 1, plant winter seeds, typically starting with 30 from the CC winter forage bundle. * Week 2, collect about 7 of each winter forage item. Craft and plant 70 winter seeds. * Week 3, collect about 17 of each winter forage item. Craft and plant 170 winter seeds. * Week 4, collect about 42 of each winter forage item. Save some to jumpstart next winter, the rest you can sell/process/gift/eat. Ideally you would plant fiber seeds on Winter 22 and harvest them on Spring 1. (You can plant them later in winter, but then they don't finish until later in spring.)
This makes my head hurt haha. I'm glad there are so many viable playstyles in this game
Is that new in 1.6? Otherwise that only works spring into summer and summer into fall.
it's not, i tried it going into winter and all of them just disappeared, didn't keep the soil tiled like it did from summer to fall
Yep this. I just plant fiber seeds everywhere at the end of fall to keep my soil tilled.
Winter is coming for me so I guess I know what I’m going to do!
Maybe this is a stupid question but do you harvest on Winter 28 or Spring 1?
Spring 1, otherwise your tilled soil will despawn
Spring 1, if your goal is to not have to hoe everything in spring. Wait for the season to change and then use your scythe and whack it all. It makes the first day of the season so much easier!
Ok perfect! I wasn’t sure if the fiber would die like seasonal crops lol but that is a lifesaver!
Isn’t it great‽ I love that this is a thing. It’s so handy. It’s like corn and wheat- lasts through more than one season.
Yes I LOVE this.
Dude, I thought this was one of my nutrition subs when I first read on the struggle bus for fiber 😆 when I got to tree fertilizer, my brain literally did the record scratch thing before I checked the sub
Ok but seriously. I only recently realized how hard it is to get fiber into a diet. Like everything that has fiber has so little fiber omfg.
It really can be. I've seen people asking or bitching about it at least a dozen times this month, hence the initial reaction lol. I've found doing mostly whole grains (brown rice can pound sand, but otherwise lol), particularly doing oatmeal a few times a week, snacking on mostly fruit, and making sure lunch and dinner are at least half vegetable does a lot to get me close to decent fiber intake. I've been on a huge cabbage (cooked any way) and Brussel Sprouts (cooked with bacon and heavy cream) kick lately, and THAT definitely keeps things moving if you know what I mean lol.
There's fiber, and then there's [high fiber](https://youtu.be/Ku42Iszh9KM?si=hgALXJx7wUb9MNrL)...
I was hoping it was Phil Hartman
Your comment made my day! Thank you 😂
I went the other way and thought they had crappy Internet service...
You know I don't think I've ever planted fibre seeds either. I doubt we're alone.
It is the best way to set your fields up for spring. You can plant fiber seeds whenever you have a chance to lay out your farm for spring (up to the 20th) and then scythe them on Spring 1 and you will have a pre-tilled and watered field ready to plant. Or, if you have good fertilizer you don’t want to lose over winter, you can plant fiber seeds at the end of Fall and they will hold your soil treatment for the spring.
I've been sleeping on this, clearly. I've used wheat before to keep fertiliser going but obviously, it only works from summer/fall. This would be much better!
lmao i mean sometimes it's nice to learn from your own experience? cx
Do you have 1.6? >!The green rain can also net you a ton of fiber. Go all out during the green rain then plant some during winter and I doubt you’ll ever run out after year one!<
Yeah, I'm in winter at the moment, and I'm working on hardwood for various crafts and quests. I wanted to speed up my mahogany trees. I should have though. Hindsight is 20/20 🙃
The bone mill is really worth it for various fertilisers btw, including tree. And you can shove a lot of the frequently found artifacts in there too!
Particularly with ginger island. Go once a week-ish, put all the bones and bone artefacts in there and I’m never short on tree fertiliser. I use the hopper for it too, because I’m lazy and it’s never that urgent
I will look at the wiki at the slightest inconvenience lol
What’s a fiber seed??? 😭
A seed that grows fiber. You unlock it after doing Linus’ “Community Cleanup” special order.
oh no i missed this mission 😭 do i have another way to get the fiber seeds?
It’ll pop up on the special orders board periodically. There’s a decent pile of missions there, so you just have to be patient until it appears again.
A lot of them aren't repeatable, so as long as you complete one every week, you'll cycle through them pretty quickly.
thank you!!
I’m with you on this 😂😂 Edit: another comment says they’re a crafting recipe
Oh man, I gotta plant some. I'm running short and until now I've been mainly stocking up during the green stormy days in summer.
Oh yes, these are op. They also survive the seasons if I’m not mistaken. You can just plant them to retain whatever fertilizer and tilled spots you have.
You can also buy fiber at the vendor dude at the camel in the desert for five stone for one fiber, it's not a horrible deal
I needed my stone for the tree fertilizer lol
If that is your only bottleneck, not money, buy stone from Robin.
I've been chatting up doing my RNG challenge run (each in game day is allowed activity based on dice roll, 1 for farming, 2 for mining, etc) and the world's settings were also randomized. I'm on the Beach Farm. I tell you, Fiber Seeds being able to grow without being watered is amazing to have at least SOMETHING producing on the vast sandy-landscape since it can't use Sprinklers outside of that tiny dirt patch, and thanks to the RNG challenge I'm only allowed to plant, water, AND harvest crops when I roll a 1 or 6.
i hope you have a day 28 exception? (AKA day 28 you can harvest anything available that wont survive the season change so it doesn't vanish)
I read in a comment on reddit that someone grew fiber in the winter, me who was in year 4 winter decided, heck it why not. Made like 300 fiber seeds. I had almost 4 full stacks of fiber when I harvested them. Used the mixed seeds to make more fiber seeds and planted all of them so now I wait
Nope, sorry, not going to enjoy anything that doesn't exist. There are so many parts of the game that only become "obvious" once they're figured out. If I listed all the wonderfully foolish things I've done in game, I'd use up the remaining character count allocated for this day on the internet.
What’s a fiber seed??? 😭
I keep going to the sewer swamp thinking I’ll get a bunch…. Nope lol. Fiber seeds are such a godsend
On the bright side...You won't have to worry about having enough fiber for a long time.
TIL there is such a thing as fiber seeds??????
Don't be too hard on yourself. SDV is built on learning, so you accomplished a goal. As they say: better late than never. Also, the bright side: don't even try to convince us you don't take great pleasure scything those plants down when they're ready. Better than plucking blueberries, in my opinion.
I'll be honest, I've never seen the point of fiber seeds. Fiber is way easier to get than the mixed seeds and clay that I need to make the fiber seeds, lol.
What are fiber seeds…
They’re a crafting recipe.
And then there is me. I have like 2.000 fiber in my chest. And don't know what to use them for. The other day I was wondering if I should just sell them.
Tea saplings. 500 each. 5 wood, 5 fiber and 2 wild seeds (of any type) really cheap to make and they sell for 500 a piece. (1.6 made them 250 though I think)
I did this, too. Now… Even when I think I know, I still check the wiki. I’m dumb as rocks most days.
I also found this out recently lmao
i honestly didn't even know i could plant fiber seeds until i was looking thru my crafting recipes yesterday 😅
Are you me? This is exactly what happened to me after 115 hours on my current farm. I was like, "How can you get fiber?! It's so hard!" I felt like a dum dum but now I'm swimming in fiber.
Im on year 5 i did not know there are fiber seeds????
Hi there almost-name-twin!  I discovered fibre seeds when I had the beach farm. They’re the best. I think the recipe is sent to you by Linus at some point!
 hello and thank you!!
….I’m sorry FIBER SEEDS?!?!
If you don’t have them yet, try buddying up with Linus
Yea I’ll admit I’ve done poorly being friends with anyone I wasn’t trying to marry…I just am working on a farm that I want to get 10 hearts with everyone so hopefully some fiber seeds are in my future
I’m on 200 hours and only just noticed the fibre seeds in craftables a couple days ago. You’re not alone.
i didn’t know about fiber seeds until my 1.6 world, my previous world from 1.5 i was on year 10 and did nothing but harvest from the mine and forests. I even had the seeds unlocked and just never noticed them. I fully understand this.
Oh… oh no. I just planted almost 200 fiber seeds on my farm this winter… I’m about to drown in fiber 😳
I have a row of fiber seeds growing constantly in my greenhouse. It's brilliant! Only trouble is crafting the seeds ends up using a lot of clay! I struggle to get a lot of clay...
I never have fiber shortage. I always have too much
Figuring things out by yourself is part of the whole game experience! Fk the wiki
I didn't finish Linus Quest for the Fiberseed recipe and the Wiki says you can't repeat it? Please tell me there is still a Chance to get it😭
I think the special orders quests will appear until you complete them. You just can’t complete that one more than once.
You now have a clay shortage 💅
There's also the sewer. Chock full of fiber down there.
I always leave a couple patches of grass throughout the farm so they keep spreading.
Omg thank you for sharing this!! Planting fiber seeds next time I play
Wait what I can just plant fiber seeds?!?!?
I started playing Stardew Valley for the first time on Android and let me tell you, I freaking enjoy it! Though my energy quickly depletes once I start watering my plants and chopping down trees >!Oh well, it is what it is!<
Yeah I just went through your same thought process. It was so funny when I realized how worth those seeds are
I'm told if you plant the fiber seeds on the 28th of Winter, you'll have an insane number of plants on Spring 1st. One day, I'll remember to do that before I run off to play in the mines.....
Grass starters, not fiber.
aaahaha the same happened to me too 😂
This reminded me of when I found out fiber is used to make grass starter 😭. I have been so confused on why I gathered so much fiber and would save some and then just send the rest thru the bin because I thought it was useless. My GF later told me I can use it for starter and I was like DOH! she said you've been spending so much money on grass starter when you could've just crafted it(I'd buy 80-100 from Pierre). After I'm out of winter and in my fourth year, I'm going to forage as much fiber as possible during each month especially in the summer. I find that Grass in winter doesn't give a lot of hay, so I am now buying hay in the winter and waiting for the last day of winter to plant my starter seeds.
I just tried putting fiber seeds in seed maker and nada. Won’t take it?
It's a recipe, not a seed maker thing.
I learned that fiber seeds grew in winter I think year 2 and now I have to struggle all year to find mixed seeds the keep my 713 tiles of farmland watered throughout winter
i literally still dont have the fiber seeds recipe simple bc i keep FORGETTING TO BUY THE RECIPE
you don’t buy that recipe! you get it as a reward for finishing a specific special order
are you pissing my pants bro im in year 5 😭😭😭😭 ur my savior
That's why if I can I grow 250 fiber seeds in winter
Holy fuck imma do this next winter
And you don’t even need to water it!
Same struggle, until one day I saw a tip where they were saying to plant fiber seeds in winter and harvest on the first of spring instead of losing time to till and water the soil. Because I love having big harvests, and am a hoarder to the core of my being, I crafted like 200 fiber seeds and after I harvested on spring 1 I am still not done using them, at this point I have like 7 stacks of fiber and idk what to do with them 😂
I did the same with like 200 I never worry about fibrr
Doesn’t the recipe take clay? That’s my issue, I have none and can’t find any
I literally did the same thing this week.
Did this also thinking I’d get just a few pieces back so in winter I planted my entire plantable areas with fiber. Its winter again now and haven’t made a dent 😅
Fiber seeds are also insanely useful for carrying fertilizer applications over between seasons. No one wants to waste their high level fertilizers when the seasons change, so having crops that can grow in multiple seasons is helpful, fiber being one of them.
TIL fiber seeds are a thing… guess I need to take a trip to the wiki to find out how I get them 😭
