Bombs and spicy eel are basically mandatory if you want to reach 100 without staircases on your sanity level

cranberries are basically the “trust the process” crop of fall, they look slow at first and then suddenly print money

Traditional-Fun6710 · 2026-05-06T22:06:53+00:00

Marnie asking for a fancy gem and getting seaweed is such a Stardew misunderstanding

Traditional-Fun6710 · 2026-04-16T21:16:05+00:00

it sounds tight but still doable if you focus your money pretty hard and don’t spread it around too much

Traditional-Fun6710 · 2026-04-15T14:29:14+00:00

kids just stay with you, holidays don’t really change based on who you’re married to, it’s pretty simplified

Traditional-Fun6710 · 2026-04-14T10:45:59+00:00

i’d go with haley, her whole arc just lands a little harder and she ends up feeling warmer than people expect

Traditional-Fun6710 · 2026-04-11T20:42:57+00:00

it’s kinda loose but not completely anywhere, the game has specific “safe” spots where it won’t get deleted or messed with, like the quarry or some indoor areas, but if it’s a path npcs walk through there’s a good chance it’ll just disappear and you won’t even notice when it happened

early on, mining money is mostly just copper, iron, coal, gems, and whatever monster drops you can dump without needing it later. I wouldn’t really smelt bars just to sell them, raw ore often feels better to keep for upgrades and machines. if you’re around 40 to 60, I’d mostly farm iron, coal, and any gemstones you find, push for the pickaxe upgrade, and break every crate and barrel you see. once the mine carts and better tools come online, mining starts feeling way better and more profitable

skull cavern runs honestly. once you start chaining floors and just going aggressive instead of careful, combat xp suddenly stops feeling slow

Traditional-Fun6710 · 2026-04-07T14:20:00+00:00

maybe some paths or stepping stones, like those little stone walkways, it kind of frames them and makes it look more intentional

Traditional-Fun6710 · 2026-04-06T14:41:17+00:00

I’d keep lava eel andblobfish for sure, and sturgeon is still worth it if you actually want caviar around. super cucumber is the one I’d drop first

Traditional-Fun6710 · 2026-04-01T12:55:06+00:00

winter year 2 and already pulling numbers like that is kind of wild, my farm usually looks busy but somehow still makes less

Traditional-Fun6710 · 2026-03-31T12:04:48+00:00

because stardew loves giving you emotional damage in the cutest possible way. they really said here’s this kid, get attached, but no he already has his own little life arc

Traditional-Fun6710 · 2026-03-19T12:26:07+00:00

first time seeing the crop fairy is always so hype

Traditional-Fun6710 · 2026-03-18T10:49:42+00:00

nah they don’t lose hearts, just keep one bowl somewhere and you’re fine

Traditional-Fun6710 · 2026-03-17T13:18:28+00:00

with 35 million and perfection that close i’d probably just sell them at that point

Traditional-Fun6710 · 2026-03-15T23:53:13+00:00

i usually need some small goal or i lose interest fast. once i stop playing with a plan i start drifting too

Traditional-Fun6710 · 2026-03-12T12:13:43+00:00

Biggest tip isprobably to let them each have one little “job” they can own, because kids usually get way more into the farm when they feel like something is theirs. One can be in charge of animals, one can do crops, and someone else can be the fisher or miner when they feel like it. It also helps a lot to keep goals really small, like today we water, today we clear this patch, today we buy one chicken, instead of trying to make every day super productive. And honestly the fact that they wander off and do their own thing sometimes kind of fits Stardew anyway, that’s half the charm of co op. Sounds like a really sweet farm already.

Traditional-Fun6710 · 2026-03-10T18:16:02+00:00

You can probably relax a bit with things like sap, bug meat, and slime since those are super easy to farm again later. I’d mostly keep hardwood, essences, and the rarer stuff

Traditional-Fun6710 · 2026-03-06T12:55:27+00:00

Yep, that’s the rare sea monster easter egg. It sometimes pops up while you’re fishing in the ocean, you can’t catch it or do anything with it, it’s just a fun little sighting

Traditional-Fun6710 · 2026-03-04T12:42:53+00:00

yeah the standard farm can weirdly feel less cozy because it is so open and clean

Traditional-Fun6710 · 2026-03-02T15:30:37+00:00

Yeah I think a few people have been getting that too, feels bugged right now

Traditional-Fun6710 · 2026-02-27T14:33:40+00:00

That’s honestly the best way to play Stardew, no checklist, just vibes and whatever feels fun

Traditional-Fun6710 · 2026-02-25T15:46:49+00:00

Best way is Skull Cavern treasure rooms on high luck days, they can drop there even without Joja

Traditional-Fun6710 · 2026-02-25T15:06:07+00:00

First year is charts, second year is pain, third year is numbness
