By year 3 I have for now stopped farming and made focus on my barns and coops, and the sheds are for brewing and making preserves. The goal is to fill the stone area with coops and barns going all the way to the left side, and brewery/preserve sheds doing the same. The greenhouse produces enough cranberries and grapes to keep me going and eventually I’ll make farm space again.
I would like to do something similar but I would need so many auto petters otherwise I spend half the day dealing with the animals. So for now I have less animals, more crops, and truffle oil makes most of my money.
Ya from 6 to 9 is generally when I go around loving my animals before checking on the brews and preserves and the crab cages I have alllll over town (I cant fish in this game for the life of me so it’s the only way I could max my fishing level).
I gave up on animals when i discovered alcoholism
I discovered alcoholism when I gave up on stardew fishing
You may try the joja route then.
Yeah I've done a full animal run, and it was great, but I admit it: I went joja. Being able to buy the autopetters is kind of important if you're planning on having 15 barns/coops.
Holy hell you're dedicated.
But for the love of god don't cram things together. You have so much space. Unless you plan to grind for perfection, you're gonna be swimming in money anyway.
Hmm that’s a good point. My goal was for 16 coops and 12 barns but I could sacrifice a few for some walkways between buildings and such. Good thinking!
Yeah I mean do you want to play Stardew Valley or Factorio/Dyson sphere program? Latter games are so much better for minmaxing, Stardew is so much better for fun, especially with content mods like Expanded.
If it's money you seek, you can get a tractor mod, plow the whole map, seed it, and just knock yourself out with money without going crazy with barn animals, then use automate mod so that it sends the product all over the machines then collects it by itself.
Ah unfortunately I’m on console so no mods for me. I’ve always wanted to try some cause some mods look so fun! But I can understand how porting mods to console is damn near impossible haha
Oh boy that's why I never got into consoles! Mods are just so amazing!
Everybody plays how they want to play
As someone who cares deeply about the aesthetics of her farm, I hate it. But as someone who also has a love for the grind, I love it.
How do you feed all of them if you have no grass growing?
I buy hay from the animal farm that’s south of my farm! Since posting this photo I have added a few more silos so I don’t have to fill the silos as often.
Doesn’t that feel like animal abuse though?
This is a factory farm for sure. Luckily these animals aren't real so if they want to run factory farm simulator ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Fun fact.. You can remove all of the silos.
You put hay in one feeder and it will fill all the farmhouses feeders for the day.
Just to save room, cutting the silos out save a lot of room.
True but then that’s a daily chore I gotta remember! I’m up to 6 silos now and it’s a monthly chore.
Never thought of putting a crab trap in the pond. Imma do that.
You can convert large sheds into greenhouses by putting in 137 garden pots with deluxe retaining soil and planting crops that regrew without replanting.. you water the pots only once .. i do this with pineapples and have thenm growing all 4 seasons ...
I’m weirdly doing a sheep and brewery deal. I have my greenhouse with all my hops and just filled my third barn with sheep after selling all the cows. Have a plot of land for some random stuff like wheat, fruit trees, and whatever. Also I have my slime hootch near my cave cause I love my slimoids.
This looks…wild and out of pocket. I want more pictures.
I’ll post an update in 4 days!
Excited! Yeah i def want to see the vision!
Married to Haley adds up
Had to choose the hottest cluster of pixels I could.
The silos only holding 5 days of feed would irritate me greatly.
Yup, since taking this pic I’ve added a few more. I’m gonna try to build enough to make it a monthly chore.
Haley just looking out at the empty space like "yeah I guess this is alright"
-stares at the back of shed- “ah yes, a very fine shed”
Yeah, of course it's Haley.
Jojamart would love you
I can smell the corporate chicken farm from here
