42 Tips and Tricks that will CHANGE Your Game

[@l0remipsum991]

Using rain totem to instill proper work ethic on Marnie is a total game changer

[@hadsizcengaver]

I just hate her bcs of it, so torturing Marnie is not a problem.

[@palabrajot505]

You'd think having Lewis' shorts would be enough to motivate her to be open when I need her to be.

[@palabrajot505]

Is there a mod that allows me to burn down her goddamn ranch if she angers me?

[@kailerrX]

marnie and the f*cking microwave

[@Chris-rt9pb]

The bombs to free up fodder space and the rain totem to force villagers to do their jobs are going to be game changers for me personally

[@Halfmoongirl]

I love the little „oh“ that the ghost do when they die, it’s like they’re saying „Come on, not this again…😢“

[@boudicathebrave]

I have well over 1k hours in the game and I am surprised at how many tips you have that I haven’t heard of before! I’m most excited about the crop seed prices actually. It never occurred to me that the seeds could be more valuable. Finally I have something better to do with blueberries than painstakingly jam them. XD Also the banana trick is going to be clutch. And the rain totem to open Marnie and Clint’s!

[@Wickedy]

It's like the don't want my money or something? lol glad it helped!

[@omgupta6578]

I have over 5hours in the game and am surprised how much there is in this game

[@cricketandgraham8644]

@@omgupta6578 It's a huge game, especially to be made by one person.

[@JosephLachh]

Krobus sold me a plate of food for 70G and when I went to Pierre’s he was willing to buy it for a more than 100G, so I quickly ran back to Krobus to buy and sell the rest.

[@RealBradMiller]

Imagine buying a plate of food from someone in the sewer and running to the local shop to sell it for a profit. 🍝😂😂😂

[@JosephLachh]

@@RealBradMiller lol!

[@ghostlevelzero7446]

I've been talking a Stardew break and playing other games like Wylde Flowers, but your videos always make me want to start a new farm and try out some new strategies. I love your channel so much!

[@erinjensen]

OMG. The geodes respawning in the same place is going to be so clutch for me. Also had never actually thought about just pausing and switching out the location of whatever thing I need when under siege. I've watched what feels like dozens of tips and tricks vids here on YT and neither of those have ever registered with me. So rad! Oh and turning corn into seeds is so obvious and yet, had I thought of it? Nope. The rain totem to force Marnie to stay the eff at home is also huge! Thanks for gathering all of these for us. You're so rad like that!

[@Wickedy]

I started doing the corn thing on my Sandwitch farm which has that 25% profit margin and it helped a bit

[@erinjensen]

@@Wickedy I have zero idea how you manage with that 25% profit margin. That would be so stressful for me!

[@Gilsworth]

The most surprising tip to me is being able to access that extra area using a chair and being able to decorate it, feels like an accidental easter egg even!

[@Jessie_Ann244]

You can also go to the island on rainy days even after you’ve finished the gem bird puzzle-the birds still appear! It’s basically free gems.

[@jeffguthridge]

Not sure if the Automate mod is the reason, but I discovered by accident that if your on Ginger Island before unlocking the island home, and you built a chest chest and put it where the bin will be, and store things in that chest, the game treats the chest like a sale bin and your saved goodies are sold.

[@rahxthehorror]

I dont remember seeing tgis on the other videos ive watched of yours, but im always surprised when watching tips and tricks videos (from anyone) that nobody mentions about workshop tables! Its a tip i learnt from a friend. You can buy these from Robin, place chests around it and then put crafting items in the chests. Use the table to craft your items straight away without having to find them and put them in your backpack! This was a game changer for me

[@slwrabbits]

I thought everyone did that :) it was one of my first purchases

[@sitara1250]

These were such great tips! I have a ton of hours in Stardew and I still didn't know a lot of these. I love all the little hidden details ConcernedApe put in the game. If you'll excuse me, I'm going to go get a bunch of bat wings so I can buy another butterfly hutch.

[@Wickedy]

Butterfly hutches everywhere!

[@slwrabbits]

I got one expressly so Krobus would have a variety of snacks in our house!

[@waffles3629]

I'm also a fan of using a deconstructer to finish Robin's quest. Just make a staircase, pop it in, turn the resulting stone back into a staircase a few times and presto, done.

[@Lisa_T.]

Hey Wickedy! I can't remember if I commented before but I love your videos and streams. You know this game so well. And I hope we're going to see another stream of Stardew Roguelike. That was a lot of fun. Anyway, favorite tip? Buying the stone from Robin for the quest. It's so much easier than bombing the mines. Thank you!

[@the_rabidsquirel]

As someone with 1k+ hours, and plenty of hours wiki-diving and watching videos, I still learnt things. - Did not know 8, 20, or 22. - With 17 I knew the first fish was a guarantee, but I did not know you could hook any fish you'd normally be able to. As it's the tutorial fish, I assumed it limited what you could catch in the same way the training rod does. - With 19 I didn't realize the training rod raised the chance of "not fish" things. I assumed it was still the same overall chance for "fish" or "not fish". - With 35 I knew about the color changing (I like prismatic shards in mine once I can spare them), but didn't realize multiple would cause them to mix it up. Never tried, just assumed it would pick one to use.

[@Wickedy]

I tried to use the tutorial to catch a legendary fish and it didn't work. I learned that it's a majority of fish, but the id number has to be 152 or lower, otherwise it becomes a Sunfish. So no freebie lava eel for us 😔

[@tainav618]

Thanks for posting these! I love playing with my bf and there were so many that we both didn't know. Especially the Ginger Island spoilery ones.

[@jackiesharp018]

I want to do the math for the gem birds so here it is There are five possible gems and 4 possible spots That means for the first Pilar there are 5 possible gems, 4 possible gems for pillar 2, 3 gems are possible for the 3rd and the final spot is one of two. This would mean without knowing a single gem bird, you have 5x4x3x2 or 120 possible combinations. If you know one gem bird, then reduce the amount of guesses to 24, removing 96 combinations. Definitely worth waiting for one rainy day to find a bird and then attempting the puzzle.

[@jademonass2954]

also, for the fiber, you can go to the bug cave in the sewer if its been a while (does require a complete cc though)

[@barbarabrands3503]

I just want to report that I achieved Perfection yesterday. I sure never thought I would be able to do that, but here I am.

[@carysk4083]

the bombs to get rid of the hay is going to be amazing! I'm setting up for hay farming with the haymaker enchantment right now, and I was getting worried about running out of silo space

[@Scilla1084]

OMG the pause trick in the cavern is clutch!!! I had no idea, thank you so much!!!

[@salmence100]

AH the golden walnut tips are going to help me a lot! I was dreading having to get a banana tree super early to get the banana walnuts before day 100!

Yayyy! I learned that one while I was doing my Walnut speedrun, someone taught me in chat and I was like... well that would have saves me ages. I hate waiting on trees

[@britneylittle2565]

Wow

[@TheAlGoreRhythm999]

Great tips! Remember that bat wings are an essential part of every meal containing vitamins and minerals. Also thank you so much for the Shout-Out!

[@Wickedy]

Thanks! I learn so much from you! Also, what do you think bat wings in Stardew taste like? Black licorice or like, really old stale jerky?

[@TheAlGoreRhythm999]

Mutant bug lair (in the sewer) is a good place to farm fiber too :)

[@daisyfuentes7161]

Nice tips! Thanks Chicakady!

[@nolongermatters4671]

Great video, Ive seen a couple of yours now so I have subbed, just one thing for newer players, Omni geodes being the best is not strictly true, lets say you need one mineral to complete the museum and lets just pick a malachite, you have a greater chance of getting a malachite out of a normal geode then an omni geode, omni geodes (Omni means all for those not aware) means that ALL types of minerals can drop from an omni geode, whereas normal geodes wont drop all types but will drop a third (ish) of the lower tier minerals so if you need a lower tier mineral the odds are about 32 to 1 to get the one you want but as the omni geode can drop all types it about a 60 to 1 chance, these numbers are not accurate as I cant recall the exact odds (check the wiki) but its to give you an idea that a geode that can drop anything will have actually less odds than the geode it would normally be a drop rate in, so malachite wont drop in frozen or magma geodes. Hope this nerdy post makes sense and will be of use. "But omni geodes drop more frequently in skull cavern than X geode in normal mines" Yes, so if you can easily grind omni geodes in skull cavern then try it, otherwise, go to mines for X geode Yep, Omni geodes are the best but if you are chasing one specific mineral, find out whether it drops in geode/frozen/magma and search for them as this will be a bit easier than relying on omni geodes, after the museum is complete they are absolutely the best (but by that stage its likely you will, like me, just throw them in a chest or buy a hat with) I did learn one new thing I hadnt noticed from your video, the sexism!!! Girls get money, Boys get useless s** lol thank you

[@nolongermatters4671]

Ok I learned 2 things, i didnt know that some crops are worth more turning into seeds!! I hate marnie

[@nolongermatters4671]

Ok I learned 3 things, I didnt know you could glitch to the upper area on ginger island, this one is fantastic, thank you, I thought I knew the game, yet theres always something someone doesnt know

[@The44thHour]

Oooh, that seaweed one is so good! I'll definitely be using that because I love the fishponds lol

[@Noblemight]

The bombing of the hay out of the auto-feeders is so helpful. I used to build new facilities every time I upgraded to work around the silo lock. Much simpler solution to craft a cherry bomb.

[@milojkodjokin8079]

I always think I'm doing good in Stardew, and then I watch great videos like these and I see how truly behind I am.

[@ThePrimeMinisterOfTheBlock]

Thanks for the video and these great tips. I have much still to learn!

[@tabbitee]

Wow, the bomb-the-hay trick is a legit game-changer! All my late-game farms have basic coops taking up space somewhere because that was the only way I knew how to pull more hay from the hopper. Not anymore! P.S. Wickedy I'm assuming the sprinklers in the fibre seeds are for decorative purposes? (I thought they needed water at first, but I'm sure that the witch of the valley has that kind of arcane knowledge down pat...but apparently not sure enough not to ask, hehe.) P.P.S. An autopetter in the childrens' bedroom, eh? Love it!

[@Wickedy]

The sprinklers are just there because I like to place fiber seeds in the winter in the spots I want to plant seeds in later, so that I don't have to worry about hoeing anything ever again lol They don't need water, but they "hold the soil" for my lazy self

[@tabbitee]

@@Wickedy oooh that totally makes sense! And is practical to boot! Nice :)

tip: if you get the recycling machine, throw away all fishing trash except broken CD's. Broken CD's can be recycled into refined quartz, making it a pretty good early-game refined quartz farming method.

I'm currently playing Stardew Expanded (v.1.14.24), and I was eager to try out Tip #40 on Ginger Island at around 17:45 However, when I try it (and yes, I tried playing and replaying that part of the video several times to make sure that I had placed the chair in the same spot shown in the video), my farmer hops out of the chair and goes into the cave instead of going up and out of the screen to be able to walk onto that far northern area with the tillable tiles 😪 Could it be that this trick only works for that specific chair that Wickedy was using in the video? Or did FlashShifter somehow fix this while continuously updating his masterpiece of a mod?
