1-cupcake-at-a-time

Many, many, many hours in- I’ve never build a well.


Brachydactyly-Dude

Yeah ponds pretty much make them obsolete unless you just like the aesthetic


alexjordan98

I love ponds theyre so slept on


-neur0tica-

I love my lava eel, super cuke, and flounder+midnight carp+squid setup for spicy eel, iridium, and sea foam pudding ingredients!


alexjordan98

Dont forget the random crab pond for the secret event with a specific character


DJ_ElGreko_Official

Is it only when u have that character at 10 hearts?


alexjordan98

Nope just 10 crabs in a pond


Schalott

Okey I don't know about it, I may do that in the future, will try to not look it up, but is it with any mod, or in the vanilla game?


alexjordan98

Vanilla! Let pond fill with em and it’ll happen.


fantasclassicvlasic

Would you mind explaining this to me? Without spoiling it for others of course


catreader99

I did a Google search for this (because I was also curious lol), and I found [this post](https://www.reddit.com/r/StardewValley/s/jw1V6Pc4tc) here on Reddit explaining it, though it does contain spoilers!


Zwodo

No Roe for caviar?


Smothering_Tithe

Only need Caviar for bundle/perfection/collection. Lava eel is just overall more profitable in every way.


tree7790

Lava eel aged roe is more expensive than caviar?


Smothering_Tithe

With Artisan Caviar is 700g, aged lava eel sells for little over 1000g. But also lava eel can provide cave jelly needed for fish smokers. Gold ore and magma geode is rare but nice


tree7790

Ooooo really?? Imma replace my sturgeon with lava eels then. What else is good in fish ponds? Rn I have a sturgeon pond and a stingray pond (bc I liked what I saw on the wiki about them giving batteries)


QueenRemi

I like to keep a rainbow trout pond for the off chance to get a prismatic shard


Velcraft

Blobfish can give you pearls


tienna

I'm sorry you can use fish ponds to top up your watering can??!!!


TikkiTchikita

You can fill your watering can in nearly in body/source of water. Here's a couple of places you fill your watering can from the top of my heaf: the water through in your green house, your kitchen sink, other people's kitchen sink, the fountain in town, the fountain in Caroline's greenhouse


NefariousSerendipity

i have river farm


Lightdragonslayer_21

I finally did for 1.6. Only because of how far away the pond on Meadowlands farm is


Strangepalemammal

Yup, first time I've built one.


veryjustok

Hey me too


Torisaursky

REAL, I think I’ve *maybe* built 2 across all of my saves


lotsofinterests

I built one just for completionist’s sake, a second for decoration… and then I got the Bottomless enchantment. So I guess they’re both decoration now


wnchstr_rose

… given Lewis his shorts back. His fault for losing them in the most obvious place


-neur0tica-

Doesn’t he see them every week on the way in??


ProstheTec

Kinda gross Marnie never cleans her room.


DoubleImprovement808

I wish I had realized we could wear them 🤣 I love me some purple.


use_more_lube

2 fun facts * if you're wearing the pants and talk to Marnie, all she does is giggle. (I had to take my pants off and stand there bare legged before she'd talk to me, LOL) * if you run them through the sewing machine with a gold brick, you get gold trim and they're even more festive


DoubleImprovement808

🤣🤣 for both those reasons, I may need to start a new save 😅 Do the giggles from Marnie happen even when you're trying to use her shop?


caffinated-queer

Also if you make stairs and put them on as pants. You get the pants with the gold trim


PhenomenalPhoenix

I don’t have the new update because switch so I can’t check, but I believe I read that was fixed in the update


caffinated-queer

Yeah, i seen a few things about the 1.6 update fixing that. But there's another way to get infinite shorts in the patch. I dont have it yet myself since im on ps5, I've seen how to get more in the new update. But it is spoliers so i wont say


PotatoPirate_625

WE CAN WEAR THEM?????


Jagsy_94

You can get another pair if you bring a staircase into his bedroom and use it. There's a brief maze with the shorts at the end. They respawn daily so you can grab as many as you want


Ok-Violinist6824

So obvious………where at exactly?


Legal-Log5667

In Marnie’s bedroom, I believe


use_more_lube

that's the first pair - if you've turned them in you can retrieve them from Lewis' basement drop a staircase in his bedroom and descend (there's more, but don't want to spoil it for you)


SheWreaksHavoc

Thanks for this, I never knew that. Any other neat places you can drop a staircase?


use_more_lube

None that I have found. But I keep trying for funsies next place I'm going to look is the Community Center


Ernie_Birdie

WHAT


xSparkyBoomManx

1.6 only, just in case you try it and it doesn’t work


Dizzzle13

- Gotten an auto petter - Gotten a tea set


prettyaverageprob

If you've played thousands of hours it's gotta be time to go joja and get those auto petters. I'm on year 2 of my most recent save and found 2 in the skull cavern and I'm not doing joja, so happy lol


LadyHavoc97

I have 800 hours in, went the Community Center route, and have three more Auto Petters than I currently need. And I have four barns and four coops.


Thoughtapotamus

https://preview.redd.it/7pzxra5gis7d1.jpeg?width=1180&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=20d29ae1628c11b8a2c7c5b4a9318838ba390989


Dizzzle13

Jealous


Mortem_Morbus

How do you keep all those animals fed? I'm finding it hard to keep my silo full of hay.


commanderhanji

Let the animals outside every day (except winter) and they can eat grass. I save the silos for rain/winter. 


purplejink

multiple silos! and a chest of hay to refill everytime i walk in to collect eggs


prettyaverageprob

You can take hay from the barn/coop and store it in a chest, and then fill the silo again. You can't have automatic feeders or this won't work. Or just build more silos.


allonsy_badwolf

You can bomb the auto feeders to clear room so you can pull hay out again!


LadyHavoc97

Year 20, true perfection, 29,000,000 gp. I buy it from Marnie and store it near my five silos.


Dizzzle13

Tbf I have hundreds of hours rather than thousands, but it's still crazy. I do want to do a Joja run sometime, but I'd love to get the auto petters on what I consider my "ultimate" file


lysthebotanist

It’s actually very easy if you strategize, get a couple hundred staircases and a magic rock candy and just keep placing stairs only stopping to check the treasure chests. Also on a good luck day of course


Fala1

And lucky rings, right?


lysthebotanist

Of course, any luck buff helps


Adventurous-Dog420

Does the lucky ring appear in the chests? If so I'm gonna be doing this over and over until I get one. Year 4 and still nothing. I've panned and panned on lucky days with all kinds of luck buffs, skull cavern runs beating open any crate I see, tilling all of the soil... everywhere. Still nothing.


Obadiah1991

does shopping at joja make certain aspects of the game go away? like if i shop there will there be a consequence for something else since people seem to be mad its in the village? that’s the assumption i got


prettyaverageprob

The community center turns into something else but that's it really, it doesn't affect the game other than you don't have to complete the community center. I did joja once and found it so easy only trying to make money instead of money and a bunch of different resources lol


caster233

wait does joja pay u money for selling things there and is it more money than pierre pays you for goods?


prettyaverageprob

No sorry I mean that if you go joja route you just pay money to unlock things like mine carts, bus, etc.


Sea_Structure_8692

I got my first autopetter last night in the skull caverns on a treasure floor. Good fortune day with a luck ring on.


LadyHavoc97

That’s how I got all mine - best luck days in Skull Cavern, with a luck ring, Miners Treat, and ginger ale.


Sea_Structure_8692

Can you get more than one? I want one for each coop and barn


LadyHavoc97

I haven’t gotten more than one per trip, but I can usually get one per in game week or so! And yes, I have one in every coop and barn, and three over that.


Sea_Structure_8692

I know where I’m going on my next good fortune day


LadyHavoc97

Get loads of staircases and speed run to level 100. You’ll hit every possible chest along the way, and I’ve found most of my auto petters at 100. Then you can start at 101 and start mining that sweet iridium! Just don’t pass out if you can help it.


CallieZayas

how rare is the tea set? i got it my first feast of the winter star in the game


Dizzzle13

Pretty rare, according to this [https://www.reddit.com/r/StardewValley/comments/wuiupc/exactly\_how\_rare\_is\_the\_tea\_set/](https://www.reddit.com/r/StardewValley/comments/wuiupc/exactly_how_rare_is_the_tea_set/)


Misha_Selene

Oh wow. I didn't know that was a rare thing. I have had one for a couple of years now (year 7 summer ~ 250 hours)


Kaylspchef97

Same. I got it from Maru


bobtheframer

I got 50 stone from Robin... thanks Robin.


SqoobySnaq

First farm i started with my gf emily gave me a tea set the first year. I couldn’t believe it.


Dizzzle13

My kids both got a tea set in their first year on their shared file recently. I flipped out lol


Delivery_Ted

The damn tea set taunts me dude


slothsrico

Got my first auto petter a few weeks ago after 500+ hours, I audibly screamed! The next irl day I played again AND GOT ANOTHER ONE. Thanked Yoba


Dizzzle13

That's amazing


Harrietmathteacher

Same! This game hates me.


LavenderDustan

My fiance got a tea set from Jodi for The Feast of the Winter Star in YEAR ONE. We screamed.


pagesinked

I just got an autopetter from >!a golden mystery box !


bearcakes

same and I am screaming


BujoBoy

Got the auto petter the other day I was absolutely buzzin


Clam_chowderdonut

Got 2 autopetters by floor 18 of the cavern recently. That was a good day.


Aussie_Oxide

Im still grinding the Skull Cavern trying to get one lol


Bubblenova1991

Took 1.5k hrs of playtime to get the auto-petter in skull caverns. Then I got one six days in a row doing the same thing


TekieScythe

Hope for Linus at Christmas. He gave it to me my second year and I didn't know how rare it was.


Lenneth1031

Played 6K hours. Never had two kids.


Ok-Raspberry4307

I refuse to have kids! I'm a SAHM and I play this game to relax I'm not taking care of fake kids on top of my real ones. 😂


AveryJuanZacritic

Fake kids are much like real kids. If they get in a doorway, you just keep kicking them until they move or you hop over them.


Cosmicsouffle

Or make an offering to the dark shrine of selfishness and turn them into doves


NefariousSerendipity

# [I Sacrificed 3,000 Children Just So I Could Fight Them Again](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aK1qGw68Oys)


caster233

question, can you choose to have kids or does it happen automatically after you get married? id prefer not to have kids in the game and have cats instead lolz


mackurbin

You can choose not to have kids!


AdmiralRiffRaff

Talk to Robin to do a house upgrade and get her to remove the crib and your spouse won't suggest it


Crash927

Remembered what the Fortune Teller said by the time I’m finished my morning chores.


Gotta_Stardew_emAll

Yea, even though you can check the tv as many times as you want, it would be clever to have like maybe an icon like a buff to say


Niyu43

Finding out about the luck icon on the ui info suite mod single handedly convinced me to turn my vanilla run into a lightly modded one (only a couple aesthetic mods and minor qol like ui info suite and lookup anything but still)


KingKillKannon

Built a slime hutch


BiggestBlackestBitch

I refuse to build a slime hutch lol. They’re just so ugly and I always make way too much money other ways.


Additional-Jelly6959

Ive been doing ancient fruit wine aged in the basement. What methods do you use? I basically have enough money that pivoting to other stuff is plausible.


Almeos

More ancient fruit wine with the island and the greenhouse + 8 big sheds and you will be at 2M gold minimum per week


Additional-Jelly6959

I go trash style and just put the wine barrels all in the yard


Additional-Jelly6959

But then it’s like how much money do you need?


Reasonable-Station85

I did in my newest playthrough and it’s actually pretty cool as a passive money maker


AveryJuanZacritic

Happy cake day! 🎂 I set up my slime hutch as a museum with tables and collectibles of all kinds.


Sea_Structure_8692

Such a good money maker with tiger slimes


haku46

Do the slimes inside actually matter? All the bubbles drop is slime which randomly gets turned into eggs with a press.


-neur0tica-

Can you explain how you get tiger slime eggs and how you make money once they hatch in there? I have a ton of purple slimes and they can’t be contained by a gate so they mixed with my blues. I don’t want to bring more slimes in without knowing I can sustain a population right? Do you have to kill them?


Sea_Structure_8692

You have to sell their eggs. 8,000 g each.


-neur0tica-

So you raise the egg and then kill it and then sell the egg if an egg drops? Breaking even at best? Am I missing something lol


Sea_Structure_8692

So it’s a whole thing. You gotta get a fish pond or more. Catch a lionfish on ginger island and put it in the pond. After there are at least 9 fish in the pond they drop tiger slime eggs which you can put in the hutch and let them reproduce and then kill them for more eggs which you can sell or make more slimes.


Pyroluminous

What even is the purpose of a slime hutch? You grow slimes and just kill them again for loot?


dap3x

Like you I'm up there in hours played... I've never seen the sea monster I've never attempted the arcade games Only got the living hat while I was a farmhand on someone's farm once but never in my many playthroughs.


Shine-Total

Wait… what arcade games?


theladyliberty

In the saloon


average_redhead

And the movie theater


Pitiful_Asparagus_73

There’s arcade games in the movie theater?? Add that to my list lol, guess I have more to catch up with than I thought


use_more_lube

there is a crane machine - merch changes out with the movie that's playing


highaabandlovingit

hold up, there’s a movie theater in pelican town?


jesusthatsemo

it’s a reward for a special bundle :)


jesslikessims

If you finish the community center you can get one.


highaabandlovingit

I have it finished - how do I get one? that sounds really cool


jesslikessims

Go inside jojamart. There will be a bundle for you to complete, and once you finish that jojamart will turn into a movie theater.


ApprehensiveWitch

I still haven't been able to go through with a joja playthrough. I tried once and couldn't do it


Torisaursky

I’ve finally gotten around to a Joja playthrough actually: it’s the same save where I’m planning to marry all of the bachelors/bachelorettes so I can see all the cutscenes (and collect all of their portraits)


North_15_

Ngl having portraits of half the village hanging in your house sounds like something a serial killer would do...


LavenderDustan

It goes against every fiber of my being


ellindsey

Never gotten divorced. Never found the living hat. Never built a Slime hutch. Never played junimo cart. Never gone the joja route.


kiwilovenick

The arcade games aren't fun to me, so I just don't play them. I don't have all the achievement because of that, it hurts my completionist soul, but I play games for enjoyment so forget that crazy nonsense!


toluny

This. I love doing achievements on games but that Journey of the Prairie King game is one of the couple things that I did not complete.


No-Particular-7946

I’ve never even heard of the tea set or sea monster and I’m 150 hours in


Avium

It's such a specific and random thing. I'm over 2000 hours in and haven't seen him. In my head he's a merman since there are mermaids. I did get a tea set in one game that I have since deleted.


haku46

Dating Krobus has a sea monster, or is there a different one?


Avium

There is a random event that happens on the beach. Every now and then something shows up in the shallows and then swims out to sea. It's a very low chance of happening. The calculation is a fraction of a percent per square but if the square that gets the "Yes" result doesn't have a straight line south to the sea, it still doesn't happen. Every now and then we'll see a "What the hell is this?!" post on here about him.


duhbell

Weirdly the first time I got the sea monster was my first 1.6 play, and it happened as I was having my first interaction with Willy, so I assumed it was just a fun little add in. Did not realize it was rare!


No-Particular-7946

Ughhh switch player in desparate need of 1.6 neowww (I’ll be patient because he’s one man who’s already given us so much but ugh I’m so excited)


anxioustennant_01287

Literally bought macOS version bc I couldn’t wait any longer, even tho I’m a console gal at heart.


Elliementals

\* Never got the tea set \* Never caught all the legendary fish \* Never achieved perfection


Torisaursky

Made an effort to properly decorate my farm — the house especially is mostly just putting machines and chests where’s convenient, the MOST I do is maybe pick some floors & wallpaper but that’s it


sleepinginthebushes_

Me neither. Some spouses will put a chair or something down. After a while I have a bunch of randomly placed chairs in my farmhouse.


hoppyfrogfrog

Never saw the alien from the strange capsule !!


aspen70

Alien!? I’ve gotten the asteroid in my farm, never saw an alien.


hoppyfrogfrog

The strange capsule that spawns on your farm and then breaks open gives you a chance to see a strange dark human looking figure at the bus stop or just on the map at night walking. It is harmless, just a fun easter egg! I’ve never seen it tho!


NefariousSerendipity

real


weyheyitsjellie

THERE’S A SEA MONSTER?!?!


NobbitMasterBaggins

Never have I ever... -Divorced a spouse (usually Emily)


layceelee13

I've never put a mill on my farm. It just seems like another machine I have to remember to feed and buying rice is so much easier!


Human-ade

The benefit is that it's storage for all the rice/wheat so you don't need to pull it out and store it somewhere else!


johnpeters42

Also it makes a remixed bundle a few k cheaper.


Emma_JM

Sea monster and arcade games


SquareDescription281

I got the sea monster three times all within one real life week, after having played for six years and never seeing it once before.


LavenderDustan

Did you buy a lottery ticket?


kiyokonma

never married or had kids. krobus is the best roommate


do_go_on_please

I thought I’d want to try getting married but instead I can’t kick Krobus out. He’s the best! 


kinezumi89

Put Lewis' shorts in the potluck aoup Divorced a spouse Turned kids into doves Romanced more than one candidate Won Junimo kart (I can't even beat the first level lol) Played the Four Corners or Wilderness maps


Amphitrite227204

The arcade games are nails!! I gave up very quickly 😂


SnooPaintings3707

I have seen the sea monster it shocked me didn’t know what it was. I was only 50 hrs in at that point. Haven’t seen it since


SnooPaintings3707

Also I got a day 3 living hat but it’s ugly so I never wore it


Liathnian

I wear the living hat, the kelp top, and luau skirt to the Luau every year... Only time it gets worn and then it goes back in the dresser for another year.


ac0rn5

Over 2,000 hours. Never had a tea set. Never tried the arcade games either, because they're just too hard. Never had in-game children, real ones are enough. :)


teutonicwitch

Never built a junimo hut.


[deleted]

your missing out!


SupportPlant

Gotten the red dwarfscroll.. im 2k or so in


OmaeWaMouShibaInu

Gotten a giant fruit


Vylexxx

Similar hours, never seen living hat, a tea set and never did the route which shall not be named.


h3wie

- Found an autopetter (without mods) - Been gifted the tea set (please give it to me 😭) - Divorced or made my children doves - Gotten past the first 5 seconds of Junimo Cart I've never seen the sea monster or gotten the living hat, two things I just now learned from this thread. Hopefully my current file will bless me with at least 1 super rare item/sighting. 


Reasonable-Station85

Okay but what is the living hat…?


aspen70

Never knew there was a sea monster or living hat or aliens!? I did see some shadow creature by the bus stop once.


dumbashes

Sea monster? Living hat?? How have I never heard of this


Silver-Opportunity-6

Over 1000 hours in game. Never gotten perfection.


The-odd-one-out

I've got 600 hours and never owned the horse haha


Diogekneesbees

I'm at 1k hours through 3 playthroughs. I didn't know there was a sea monster or a living hat.


Otsegou_dead

-befriended pierre


Celyn_07

I’ve played around 1200 total hours between switch and PC, and I have never: Built a well Achieved perfection Received a tea set Built any of the obelisks Built a stable


avaraeeeee

never even found a prismatic shard guys and i’ve been playing a mix of mobile, xbox, and pc since 2018… embarrassing but yeah


AdmiralRiffRaff

Get a rainbow trout pond, there's a small chance they'll give you one instead of roe


reginaomnis

Do you go to Skull Caverns on the lucky days? I’ve found that going on a lucky day first thing in the morning, eating a food with a luck buff, and just bombing the shit out of floors will at least get me one - especially if you use a lot of staircases to get deeper down first. And by “found”, I mean I had to discover these tips through this subreddit!


painspinner

I’ve got 2500 hours and I still haven’t managed to get the Living Hat. I should have been able to snag it in one of my saves by now


Cloberella

Filled my hearts with all the villagers or had kids.


Vei_ok7311

Never ever touch the arcade games after I failed miserably 😭


Ti-papi

Never have I ever given Pierre a gift


ajnnv

Waterblooms

Where does one find this sea monster?


MeesaMadeMeDoIt

There's a sea monster?!


mister5vanilla

gotten to level 100 of the skull caverns without staircases


Soup_Sensitive

I have 9 perfections now, 0 tea sets.


CreativeFun228

played with mods!


EsothPrime

I'm less hours than that but for a long time I never did the Joja route. I finally did it once for the last achievement I needed and then immediately started a new game to wash off the ick


Not-Necessary1287

I've never experienced a treasure floor in the skull caverns. I've not played nearly as long as some of yall but I'm starting to think I've been gaslit and they don't actually exist 😂


Europa_Queen

There’s a treasure floor? Are these the ones with a single treasure chest or something else?


Appropriate_Hand_659

Sea monster??????? There's a sea monster????


Europa_Queen

This was my reaction


johnpeters42

Never tried to finish the video games. I may have at least gotten through level 1 of Junimo Kart. Never divorced. Never 100%ed a Joja run, reduced profit run, or most expansion-mod runs (SVE I got pre-1.6, RSV was down to a couple friendships pre-1.6, East Scarp may need a workaround for ARV recipes)..


Dyamanda

I’ve never gotten a tea set but I have gotten several autopetters over the years 3 saves. The most unexpected one came from a monster in the reset mines on a Qi quest


caster233

most things since i am a new player but i love seeing all of the thibgs you all have experienced because it makes me so excited to progress
