You can smoke crab pot items as well as fish. It can be a good way to pad profits.
I finally tried that out of curiosity in the future - I can imagine it being super lucrative with a crabpot empire!
The "dragon egg' had me going too. Good to know that there are possible fakes. Thank you for the episode
I never would have clued in!
is there a storyline to follow or just endless?
There’s a bunch of quests with some loose narrative applied (like “there’s been an earthquake now help everyone” or “new person in town needs help”). It takes in-game years to see everything so you can kind of play it however you like. Overall many hundreds of quests, with some tied to seasons.
You’ll probably figure it out in about 10 episodes, but that “dragon egg” isn’t a real one. Hatchable eggs (owl, dragon, Axolotl) don’t have the “place item” option like you did with that egg. At the start of the dragon quest chain you picked up a “dragon egg” from the hidden oasis near Mina that turned out to be a fake the miners planted as a prank.
Ahhahaha I’ve been duped!
I didn't know this, thank you for sharing
you are good at the combat, im struggling with it. its nice chill game though
Getting some of the treasure items with buffs is mostly what helped going forward, some of them are extremely good!
Octopus is summer any weather am, and there was definitely slime on Pam’s couch 🫥
Whew look forward to getting that one earlier than year 15 this time!
Guys how do I get white wood?
Haven’t gotten there yet - anyone else?
@@hodgepodge I runned around like forever and there is no white wood
@@hodgepodge And same with dark wood
Come stand under the sapling 🤣
I’m a romantic!
You can either use the octopus for a fish pond (they give out Omni geodes) or gift as a loved gift to Willy. Yep, only catching from their natural habitat counts. When fish ponds came out in 1.4?, I was hoping fishing out of a fish pond would work but nada. I usually gift Maru strawberries. She actually is one of the easiest to gift with her having 12 loved gifts. She’s also one of the earliest to be able to be gifted loved gifts since she loves strawberries and cauliflower. Rather than a battery you can toss gold bars at her. Easier to get gold bars than batteries. XD
Future me decided to create octopus bait for a sure catch (I had grief with octopus previously, though was probably more a timing issue than anything). Did not know that Maru had such a wide range, that’s helpful. I probably ended giving her more expensive batteries until my strawberries came in sadly.
I’m with you on the pizza thing.
If I disappear after this episode you'll know it was because of pizza-related opinions!
🤣 the mayor sounds like someone we all know
The scariest kind of mayor!
You can also use some extra cash to do more bundles in the vault room so you can access the desert and all of its goodies! Fun things happen in the desert in the new update
Coming soon! I had completely forgotten the desert was linked to bundles - this game brings me joy because I play the early game so seldomly that I forget everything!
Emily is awesome.
I also purchased this game but not sure how to enjoy this game
I dipped mine in a little hananero sauce with a side of orange juice. I think just tackle whatever part you find the most interesting/enjoyable is a good start. Figuring out what I needed for crafting was a good start for me and got me working on the quest board which I enjoyed. Also that museum needs filling.
@@hodgepodge thank you will try to play it again
Cool that the star shows up on Kozita too. Thanks for the episode.
Makes full time Kozita very viable which is cool!
Dude my ocd is screaming I just finished watching your first series on the game and all i want is for you to organize your chests more and plant the seeds together more. But I'm so excited to follow this update on the game as well
Ha! I am 5% more organized at least and less mega farming so far. Mostly keeping a look out for interesting new bits.
Thanks for this! I finished all the side quests and main quests but was stuck on level 87. I had no clue how to get to 99 so fast. Knocked it out.
Excellent to hear, congrats!
Is this game worth it? I believe it's on sale on switch right now and I'm looking for a nice cozy game to play
I’ve been recommending it to people in my personal life for Switch, so I’d have to say yes. I really like the exploration part of this game. Not sure how it plays in the long run as a farm-type game once everything is unlocked/discovered but I’ve recorded a few dozen episodes so far and really like it.
If u make honey with the Rafflesia flower is sells for $2500
Oh wow that's some serious honey money!
It feels illegal to be so late yet also so early- Also, great vid
Thanks!
Hi there, if you find yourself stuck or can't deduce how something works feel free to ask. I currently in the winter section (snow,snow,snow all around) there is lots to do and find, exploring is a major part of this game. Later...
I'm enjoying the exploring part especially - have really liked the mines so far.
So ignoring the upcoming 1.2 July patch, the game is paced to take about five or six seasons for everything currently in-game to unlock as there is a farm animal that only appear starting year 2 and I think a lot of people don't get to the latter half of the mines/puzzles to unlock horses and the other companion type pet (wolf cub, mammoth, bunny, toothy baby kitties) you can find exclusively in the mine (no spoilers, though it's not my favorite so I've only ever personally captured/tamed them for completing the animal tab in a play through). If you want to get all the rare animal color variants it takes 2 full in game years counting the new farm animal because certain color/coat patterns only appear in certain seasons. As an example you want all the ostrich colors you've got the base six variants (green, black, white, so on) then depending on season (summer/winter or spring/autumn) if you've captured a base number plus enough color variants then a couple of really beautiful variants that are unique to each species of farm animal will show up. After that there's a ninth version that's just the bragging rights one so flashy and sadly the same color for all species. The rarer variants always start with better base stats so it makes the breeding for max stats a lot easier and the farm can be a beautiful chaotic mess of color for people that want that level of completion. It's a lovely side perk for that level of commitment to barn animals. The companion animals (wolf, mammoth, cat, bunny and I don't know if you ever found them fifth) are just five base colors so no stalking the forest for special wolf cub pumpkin spice latte variant on Autumn 20th of something. You can run out of space and need to start really planning out the farm/jungle plot depending on how much you want to complete achievements or just do in game. I did one run where I got all the steam achievements so I had the little northern land plot nothing but trees and then divided the giant left hand one into the ranching/breeding half and the farming/processing half with the jungle for out of season crops that I was trying to max out on knowledge. Once everything is unlocked and upgraded (max barns are love) then it's easier to do the marriage/fishing/villager stuff. That would be when I tap out though as yet again, with current version children just kind of existing I find that part very boring. To be fair it's my least favorite part in all farming games (getting married and having two kids were the last two Stardew achievements I personally went after). I know you're winding down on this series and just like with Sun Haven, I want to thank you for taking the time to play through to your end point (you're right, western developed farming games rarely have a hard stopping point). It's delightful to see other people play some of my faves which can be really hard to find on youtube and I find these types of videos very relaxing and pleasant (they were and continue to be a real comfort during the lockdown and after effects of 2020 part 20 or whatever present year we're on) to have on in the background. So thank you again.
Thank you very much for that animal breakdown, I hope that helps any future players too! I love the level of complexity it gets to. I feel like I could play some of these games forever, finding jumping off points is definitely hard. I'm mostly trying to pick narrative points but the completionist in me wants to see everything. I did two more episodes, mostly to see how the water wheel turned out as that adds a big tech innovation. This game was so well done!
how the heck do u get mochi to give u the market link blueprint? I've been playing for more than 20 in-game days, found at least 6 of those drones (and yes, talked to/check the logs on them) and she still ignores me?! somebody done lied on the google-wiki page, saying she gives it to ya after 'talking to/checking out' 4 drones.....
Hmm sorry I am struggling to remember, it's been about 400 UA-cam years for me and I can't remember for Slime Rancher 2!
If you haven’t gotten all 5 oysters yet, you might consider moving your crab pots to the ocean where you can catch oysters with crab pots. Thanks for the episode!
I set one up there to confirm it catches oysters and then threw a few more in (eventually) - it took a surprisingly long time to get oysters!
I fell asleep watching this and forgot to comment. So here I am. Thanks for making these last few days brighter. Have a good one.
I'm glad it helped you get some sleep, hope it's going ok!
@@hodgepodge TBH not really, got a new job and its been nothing but understaffing and lies. I appreciate that I have your content to watch when I get home, it really helps me feel better and sleep. Thank you
Hello Hodge, thank you for the chill video again. I love Sping too. The winter environment is depressing and darker. Hoever it gives time to work in the mines and the ocean to prepare more supplies for Spring too. I just noticed that you clicked the bells on both Barn and Coop twice which resulted in calling the animals outside first but due to the double click you called them back inside before even they had a chance to leave. And one more thing, the chest next to the furnace has 2 Earth Gems (each worth 100 points for enchanting) and they were gifted by the giants to you. You may use them when you want to enchanted a tool or upgrade a selected enchat, such as "extra drop" or "rare drop" since they start as 100 but go 200, 300, 400 per upgrade. Bests o/
Oops poor critters, I was so busy thinking about the next thing I didn't even notice they were trapped inside! I do eventually use the earth gems - you're one step ahead of me. It took me the next twenty episodes to get decked out pretty nicely, but I'm glad I listened and worked through enchantments!
I thought the weird ore could sometimes be in treasure chests in the mines, I might be wrong.
You are correct - they're in the deep mines only it appears.
I believe you need 4 shards to activate the lower levels.. have fun with that. Also if you want to make the mushroom lamps I think you need some of the glowing mushrooms ... they are outside lamps btw.. and you left your witch hat in the mining chest. :)
I can't believe I forgot that it takes 4 (I mean there's 4 ports on the machine!). I'll be heading down soon. Those mines leave me a chaotic mess every time!
you need 4 ruby shards and a mine pass it takes you to the other level of the deep mine where you get the emeralds and the berkonium ore your loking for
I always forget it is 4 shards! (and it is visually pretty clear in its prompts for four things on the machine)
Everytime i go mine it crashed
Sorry to hear it! There is a discord for the game, I believe, there might be others having similar issues.
Wow! 3 commercials in 20 min 😳
Ouch! I use the default ad settings, guessing they are trying to push people into YT premium by annoying them.
@@hodgepodge 😂
Oh! I never thought to try and get the lotus bud. I wonder what it does
I still haven't found a use (yet), though I think it was noted I can throw it back in the water so it can continue growing.
Hi, I know my message is late but I was losing my mind trying to find the frozen peaks entrance looking everywhere so I started re-watching all till this video showed a place behind the first house you need a tool box for. Finally, I got there, thanks. Also I had a thought that you should go back to the game to try the space ship behind your house to see if they take you to Mars where I bet Grampa actually is with maybe him saying that he finally made it there... And record it and add the video to the end of this play list. I've watched your vids a lot and you have a calming voice that helped me be brave fighting monsters because I don't do it normally so your talking nonchalantly just kept me steady as I tackled them. BTW I died less than you so far, lolol. But it's all thanks to you...
I'm happy to hear the videos were helpful - it sounds like you did a great job! It was a fun game.
It's taken me a long time to catch up, but I wanted to leave a comment that I have been really enjoying your playthrough of this game, thank you for bringing a bit of joy and calm to my day! I don't have as much time anymore to play games, so it's nice to watch these videos. I haven't played Stardew since the initial release, there is so much more to the game now! I love how much you do of the game, thanks for not rushing the experience! 💜
Pretty much same situation for me, just illness has me immobilised rather than commitment. Enjoying the series!
Thank you kindly, that's very nice of you to say! It is a LOT of game now that would definitely swallow up all your free time for the next while!
Sorry to hear it - I'm always glad to hear the videos are enjoyed, but I wish you were feeling better!
Ahh, another chill and relaxing game play. I do feel the same about Ben, he is irritating :D I also never won the "dont drop balloon" mini game and never won 10K, such a scam ahaha. I loled so hard when you said "Ok I am just gonna accept the insult" from Bree. So much fun. For the wardrop, if you select "change wardrop" it opens what you currently wear and also the cabinet so you can drop items that you are wearing. If you select "wardrop storage" then it opens your backpack and the cabinet, so you can drop items from your backpack into the cabinet. Meanwhile there are 4 options of clothing page for you, and you may name them too. You are currently at the 1st option (with the name tag of OUTFIT) where your working outfit is placed + the beenie. There is an arrow on both sides so you may prepare 4 different set of clothing for you to be actively worn. You will see "human" and "merfolk" section below the outfit but I am not spoiling further ofc ^_^. You may change the name of the first option to anything you want such as "Spring" and leave the working outfit in the cabinet(storage) while wearing a new set of clothing that you might prefer to wear during Spring. For the other options, you are free to use them all and swap between whenever you want :D When you put off the working outfit, you will be able to see your shoes if you wear them. The working outfit blocks the shoes. Another question you highlighted was about the insect traps. Traps work overnight. So if you do not place a scent into the trap, it "might" randomly catch an insect. If you locate scent by interacting, I believe it is guaranteed that you catch sth ^_^
Thank you for the wardrobe explanation - I just finally toggled that arrow the other day and was shocked! It's nice that we can wear thematic outfits or whatever we like but not have to redo the whole thing. I'll have to keep trying with the traps more, good to know they are an overnight thing so I'll stop fretting about them.
Thanks for playing it, got the game coz of your vids and love it 💚
Love to hear it, the developer did a great job!
How would you compare this to Moonstone Island? They look very similar. In a good way.
The cards are more used as buffs that don't come into play during combat, so it's probably more like Weird Stardew (also in a good way). I have been binge recording this one and am on ep 18 as of tonight - and I'm still loving it which says something!
Good to hear! Thanks for the reply.
The smoked fish sell for even more when you reach level 10 farming and choose Artisan. But for the best sell price for smoked fish, for fishing level 5 choose fisher (fish worth 25% more) and then at level 10 choose Angler (fish worth 50% more) in addition to farming’s Artisan. Plain chub: 50g ~ Smoked Plain chub : 100g ~ smoked chub with Angler : 150g ~ smoked chub with Angler and Artisan: 210g. Demetrius mentioned that Robin loved Woody’s Secret which is a power book. It’s the brown one with an axe on it.
Oh wow those stats make fishing a lot more interesting - although I'm not big on fishing I appreciate that he balanced out things a bit so that it's a viable path for those who want to go that route.
The jungle planting spots are the equivalent to the greenhouse in Stardew. Also, the big tree offers special items like the cart lady, only they are all new things.
It's great! I only did four more episodes so did not get to seeing the tree items, that's a cool feature.
Love Your videos just got the game and I had no clue where too get copper Thank you c: c:
Thank you! I had some issues figuring out how to upgrade tools - it may have mentioned it in-game, but if you get confused like me then just remember to hold the tool when you talk to the blacksmith and he'll offer to upgrade it. (need the bars of ore in inventory too and $1100)
Good Morning! Love the videos!
Good evening! Thank you, glad to hear you're enjoying them!
Thanks for the video, would love to see how to get copper tools if you figure that out.
I found the copper in the rune warp. To upgrade you need to hold the tool you want upgraded when you talk to the blacksmith. If you have the 5 copper bars and $1100 cash he'll offer to upgrade that specific tool. It works great!
Just got it too. Cutest little game! Thanks for showing the early play!
I've been enjoying it so much - summer recording is hectic for me but I've had a blast recording way too many episodes this week!
this is on PC right? or did 1.6 come to nintendo?
It’s PC yeah, I don’t think the update has quite made it to Switch yet
Your voice is soothing
Thanks kindly!
Looks really interesting! Don't forget to check your mailbox next to your house every morning 😅 I think you can make rope if you craft the loom, just an idea.
I spend a few episodes doing little quest jobs and eventually get crafting in earnest!
The music gives me hardcore Pokemon vibes. Hope you are doing well! Love the vid.
Thanks, was expecting a quiet summer wind down and forgot they release games in June! They put a lot of effort in with the music, it's great. Looking forward to seeing where this one goes!
Is that a new thing or a mod to put a chest aside a preserve jar and other product producers?
In modded this works with Automate, but I don't believe it does anything in vanilla which this one is. I heard that there's chest swapping now (holding big chest and swapping out with small chest which transfers items) but I'm not sure if there's any of the automation stuff in this update.
Another exciting video! I totally agree with you on the last discussion about how the play style would change when you start a new character ^^ I have 3 characters. 1st one is in the 3rd year Spring. I learned most of the game during that playthrough. I started a second character with a better pace this time and parked at Year 2 Spring. I focused more on cooking this time. I am still missing 3 insects and titan arum black honey from summer/fall for the museum and the temple. I changed the decorations of the farm and house. THEN, I challenged myself and started a 3rd one. I completed full Museum and full Temple at the end of the 1st year :D Amazing experience. The order of progression was entirely different than previous characters and my farm layout has been revised again. A brief reminder btw, you may give 2 gifts to a person if that day is their birthday. Their ID chart shows -1/2 if they received nothing from you that week. Once they receive 2 on their birthday and 1 on another day it becomes 3/2.
Thanks! I feel like I'd probably do better with fishing and bug catching on a new playthrough, but then I always say that!
@@hodgepodge I agree on fishing. I always found fishing the most challenging. I was spending entire day for each fishing spot to learn what they offer, and discovering legendaries with very specific ocassions like rainy day, or afternoon-evening only, or only 1-7 of that season so hard to catch. I am a collector by nature, so I have 8 fishponds with 4 legendaries in them :D I mean they look soooo charismatic and also good passive income tbh.
@@hodgepodge Either I am one sandwich short of a picnic, or this playlist is back to front and the start is the latest episode?
Ha! Thanks for catching that, should be fixed now.
Such an interesting game! I have it on my wish list and you made me wanna play it right now! Lol Super cute and intriguing!
All the mysterious little elements are a nice addition!
