Shed or two to the left of to your house. Fill with kegs. Add fruit trees to the edges of your greenhouse as shown here https://www.stardewvalleywiki.com/Greenhouse. 

Also curious why you bothered using the upgraded sprinklers when the regular iridium is the coverage of your design

Your basement should really only be casks. Fill it to the brim and wait half a year to double your profits

Deluxe retaining soil is so OP. I just wish you could use multiple fertilizers. Deluxe retaining soil and hyper speed grow would be so sick. 28 days is so long to wait on crops. Being able to cut 9 or 10 days off with hyper speed grow is incredible. Star fruit taking 8 days instead of 13 is a game changer too

Yeah do it, I'm still working on my first year so I'm nowhere near the looks of yours 😅 but I'll get there

Ngl, I really like this design... might borrow the idea

I am so with you on that 😭 I just finished my first perfection run and didn't care about fertilizers at all. Didn't craft the bone mill till almost the end and only bc I needed to do so for perfection. Had stacks and stacks of 999 sap and could easily be at least doing basic fertilizer all this time lol. There is sooo much strategy that can be utilized with fertilizers and I literally just didn't even think about it haha!

I usually just use deluxe speed gro apart from spring year 1 when going for 5 gold parsnips since it usually let's you get an extra harvest in.

I used fertilizer until I started just putting everything into kegs

I do.

With snapped tills mod it's possible to get giants with 10 crops per square

This opens up a lot of self-sufficient combinations

I think it's really really fun, finding specific crop combinations to grow giants is so satisfying

Only as wormwood, because I hate tilling.

I got something like 100 dragon fruit seeds now. I need to get a rotation going since I only have 1 waxed giga dragon fruit

Personally,,, I have never ever done good at farming. You should write a tutorial or something!

Do I love it? Yes.

Do I do it? No, coz I die before that.

Farming out earns every other skill in the game by miles. A field full of ancient fruit, a shed full of kegs, and a barn full of pigs will get you more money than any other method outside of mods or cheats.

Fishing early on, farming (including animals) for the rest of the game.

Probably farming. There's a lot of things you can produce simultaneously

Fishing early, farming mid then Sebby, we need to cook, ancient fruit wine, NO, SEBBY, SEBBY THIS IS IMPORTANT, OUR BLUE PRODUCT MUST BE 99.9% PURITY.

Diversifying. That and setting up all the little ongoong income streams you can think of.

I started the game recently and made a quick google sheet, here's the summary of what you need to do with crops:

https://preview.redd.it/mrx48fe96mbf1.png?width=419&format=png&auto=webp&s=6295336c5c015f3a9ad9b4d619113b75e139986e

I calculated based on the value for non-starred and starred crops, then how many crop for a seed and the difference of value between preserve jar or seed maker.

Sometimes it's not a big difference in money, but it's always more money anyway

The best passive profit i found are apples. Use preserves until you reach the gold limit of 1 mil then make seeds and store them, I store 1000 seeds. When you spend gold sell the seeds to cover the spent gold and replenish the storage back to 1000. This is what I found takes the minimum effort.

There are spreadsheets out there because I believe it varies by crop - some you’re better off preserving. Hopefully someone else has a more recent one but here’s one that I have bookmarked in the meantime

Edit - wait this one is better than the first one

https://www.reddit.com/r/Palia/s/1Dcp96LuZa

It depends on the crops. For example apples take 10 apples to make one seed, which star quality sells for $1050. If you turn those 10 apples into jam they sell for $144 each, so multiply by 10 you're getting $1440 for those same 10 apples. From what I've generally seen bok choy and potatoes are usually better to turn into seeds, most things are better to persevere.

I'd also add to your consideration for his. Preserves jars are solely for turning things into profit. Seed makers are needed to continue your garden by making seeds. My seed makers are frequently tied up in making more seeds to plant in my garden and can't always be devoted to making profit. When you're later game and can afford tons of crafting slots then it won't matte as much since, but early game it does.

Then there's also the time factor to add in. Seed makers are often faster than preserves, but that also means needing to log in more often to keep feeding in crops, and that's not always possible for everyone.

All that to say the difference is usually very minimal. So minimal that for most the best thing to do is use what's available. Seed makers tied up in crops you need to replant? Preserve it. Preservers all tied up but nothing in your seed makers? Turn it into seeds. The small hit in profit from not doing the most optimal one is nothing compared to the hit in potential profit you will take by not having everything running.

Once you've watered your crops once they're watered for the day so they won't dry up. Food is the best way to keep energy up while in the mines which you can either buy from Gus or make in your house's kitchen once you upgrade it at least once

Another tip is also doing it during rainy days. Not only you'll have so much time, you'll also have enough energy to save. Just make sure you bring lots of foods or forage. If you've been keen on logging trees, save some nuts and craft them into field snacks .

My usual routine for days when I go to the mines looks a little something like this:

- water everything

- pack food for healing/energy (usually stuff I've foraged or fish)

- go to the hot spring to bring my energy back to max

- hit up the mines

Hope this helps!

This isn’t really about surviving but something I have messed up in the past. Don’t spend a ton on money a sword at the adventure’s guild. If you can rough it out to level 90 you get a really good sword. Then you can easily clear out floors from monsters.

In terms of preserving energy, if you upgrade your pickaxe and increase your mining skill, mining will take less energy.

You can also eat food to increase your energy and health. If you have plenty of maple seeds, pine cones, and acorns, you can craft field snacks which are pretty decent to start off with.

Hope this helps! Have fun in the mines.

With or without mods?

Mainly pigs, they are huge source of income.

But that aside. Sheds, barns, quarry, all possible public areas filled with kegs is the way to go for most people.

What's your goal? Do you just want a farm that makes so much gold you have nothing to do?

Do you want to maximise whilst working for it or using mods like automate?

Tell me a bit more :)

Well, if you have ancients fruits ready already, the best way is to plant ancient seeds outside of the greenhouse at spring. Get 3,000 ancient seeds ready at spring 1 with deluxe speed gro and change the farming skill to agriculture. That will provide 30,000 ancient fruits at fall. With close to 3K kegs, you will end up with close to 70 mils in one year from ancient wines.

Sell more and use more sprinkles Make your farm huge

A lot of pigs with a lot of free space = a lot of truffle = a lot of truffle oil = profit!

It’s without mods as I play on switch, And i want a nice looking farm, but also want to make it easier to upgrade buildings and build more without it taking literally forever hahha

Yea you'll slowly lose seeds (each crop will give less than one seed on average) and you'll have to restock either via crusades or the seed shop

Very creative! I usually just use the hoe but this is smart for late nights

Okay, but what the game shows as "grass" is like the lawn experts call "crab grass". Is there a way to achieve the clean lawn look, like the coloring on some ground tiles without anything growing on it?

I have been doing my simple landscaping just like you suggested. I am planting flowers around buildings, because I don't have access to shrubbery yet, but I would be happier if the empty tiles looked like flat lawn, instead of ordinary dirt squares.

Man, if only there were a Dinkum version of GreenPal I’d happily pay a few dinks to have someone else cut all this grass for me. Between chasing turkeys and fixing my dang fence, yard work’s the last thing I want to deal with 😅😅

Yeah you can also do this with furniture, crates, traps, any item you place in a square

Steam has macros in sub commands when you click the controller then settings in steam It's something like that.

I'm not sure as I'm on the dunny
