How to repair the hydroculture plant, and is it worth it? Story of Seasons Pioneers of Olive Town

[@tinykitsune0387]

This is so helpful. This is the last building i have to repair and Im in my first summer. Its all thanks to your advice that I progressed so fast

[@cozyskyjurnee]

I love how your farm is laid out. I can't wait for the full farm tour!

[@satou93d35]

Ur farm looks stunning as usual! Cant wait for ur last house expansion cuz it will allow u to decorate so much from it!

[@JoshGamingGarden]

Yes I can't wait to really start decorating my house!

[@polypolykuma5335]

Your videos are so helpful! I'm in the middle of Year 1 Summer and just unlocked the third area of my farm. It's certainly overwhelming to think about all of the tasks to do. Your videos help break it down. I'm also into aesthetics like you are. I'm looking forward to your farm tour!

[@Kitten202021]

Whew... I’ve already started saving for this building, but those orichalchum are going to be killer, I can’t even get down past B30 in the 3rd area dungeon/mine. Hopefully I can get to lvl 9 mining soon and gain access to that bigger mining area.

[@estrioleyin5667]

to reach lower floor... need to stockpile some food first before... also goes there at the morning (after finish tending animal and crops and makers)... at least at 10am... make sure to bring some soup category food to make your heart golden (save more stamina usage)... and at least have golden hammer (minimum)... when you found a hole (not a stair)... make sure your heart golden and JUMP down to skip few floor... you can then eat entree(main course) food that increase lots of heart but make you full... make sure your heart already golden before eating it to save stamina... even not finding much orichalcum going down... you will find raw ruby and raw emerald which you could process with jewelry maker and give you nice amount of money (about 20k - 30k perday with lots of jewelry maker)... also if i remember correctly... you also gain 5 orichalcum ore from first time reaching floor 50 achievement in town hall. hope this help...

[@widaygames9329]

A big tip for mining orchi ore... cook 7 to 10 star entree and same desert at least 2 of each. Take animals out in sunny morning and go to the cave. Use all 🕳 holes to drop until floor 41. Eat your 7up 🌟entree when you have 5 ♥️ or less. You desert only for back up. You should be able to eat another entre around 12pm to 1pm. I got all my orchi ore in 2 weeks and half im game and i didnt even had to go every day.

[@jewellchunn2251]

@@estrioleyin5667 so I got mine from the old man spirit at his store. I’ve reached lvl 40 in the cave and still couldn’t find any

[@schokodeuli]

You can get orichalcum easy by entering the "stone field" which you get acces to in the later game

[@wanhedafeva7107]

Loving all of these guides! Thank you so much they are super helpful! Getting my game Easter I’m so excited and feel better prepared thanks to these!

[@JoshGamingGarden]

Thank you! I'm glad to hear the guides are helpful! ☺️

[@striderincident]

I just got gold strawberries from my handgrown 10 star seeds, finding out the probability was like OH COOL :D also yay greenhouse! Thanks so much for the info and tips, I'm hoarding my orichalcum and almost used them on my small ingot makers before i watched XD

[@Nurylon]

:thinking: So the hydroculture building takes 8x8 slots to place on the farm, and it has a 9x9 grid inside where you can plant 81 plants regardless of season . . . vs normally in that 8x8 area, you would be able to plant like 60ish crops (bc sprinklers) and they're seasonally dependent. That's pretty good! I imagine it'd be super useful in order to have a bunch of different-season crops in one place that are used for daily cooking gifts. Vs having to go to the different seasonal gardens to get some tomato, and then onion, and then broccoli, etc.

[@iamcharmi]

Thank you for this video! 💖 I was actually wondering what to do first with my oricalchum ingots haha I just finished the Town development story so now I'm focusing on money making / more crafting of stuff for upgrades.

[@arneefarnsworth8652]

Finally!! Congratulations 🎉 👏 great to see you achieve your goal after so much hard work. Thanks for showing and explaining the new building to us. I think I’ll prioritise my house and tool upgrades then work on this building

[@jlgbennett]

I'm just now in my 1st winter! I'm having so much fun. Your tips and play through have helped me decide my play style for this game. Thank you for your hard work!

[@JoshGamingGarden]

Glad I could help and hopefully my videos made your first year a bit easier! 😀

[@jlgbennett]

@@JoshGamingGarden it really did. Usually in the 1st 2 years of such a game I struggle with being overwhelmed with trying to do to much and this time, I started with a clear idea of what I wanted to do. 😁 I'm BAD about playing until year 3 or 4 then getting to hate my farm and starting a new file hahaha I know this time that wont happen 😻

Hi Josh! Thank you for all your videos, I always watch them for tips and tricks to help me play my game easier. 😄 I found out a little trick to get Orichalchum stones in Stonebreaker Valley. It takes time though but if you're not in any hurry to finish the game I think it will be useful. What I did is every time I visited the valley I only hit all other rocks EXCEPT the orichalcum. what happens is for my next visits, the old orichalchum stones stays and does not disappear and new ones appear around the area. So I'm waiting to fill the valley with Orichalcum stones and hit them all at the same time to get a huge bulk of it. Hope this helps! 😄

[@TheLeBiHa]

Does this work? Will there be a lot of Orichalcum Stones?

[@HillbillyTrash]

And btw I really love how pretty your farm has became. It gives me hope for mine lol it looks like garbage right now but I'm not even out of my first spring yet.

[@JoshGamingGarden]

My farm looked like garbage for at least the whole first year. I just started being able to focus on decorating and making things a bit prettier!

[@bernardstarkiller]

Always with the best tips and informations. Your videos are very good... can't wait to evolve my farm and decorate it.

[@Tuinuiski]

That looks like a ton of grind. Thanks so much for doing this 😊

[@clairefutrell5089]

I was debating using my orichalcum ingots on the final house upgrade or saving for this building. Thank you for this video! I’m definitely just going to upgrade my house and use the seasonal areas.

I’ve really been loving your videos. They’ve helped me a lot as I’ve been playing this game sooo much for the last week. I can’t wait for the farm tour!

[@eunhae1024]

thanks for the video Josh! your videos helped a lot. i’m still far from repairing the hydrocultrue plant.😅 But I’ll prob prioritize this than the house expansion. Looking forward in seeing your farm tour!

[@jamestravers6665]

Managed to find 3 Olive Crystals in the same day, donated 1 of them to the museum and the Earth Sprite shop had the rest, so lucky!

[@jompangs2314]

Awesome! I always wonder what it looks like from the inside. I like how you used that place for your mushrooms. I’d definitely do that too. And as always, your farm looks stunning. Great video, thanks!

[@LynnStrifeTsubame]

Wooow, your farm looks so pretty; really inspires me to put even more effort into mine :D I've almost played through my first summer season, so I still got a long way to go, though~ Thanks for the helpful video! I'm planning to unlock the hydroculture plant, whether I really need it or not, because it'll just look fancy on my farm xDD

[@luxianad.luxtra3493]

Wow thank you so much for this video. I really didn't know about the olivecristals in these puddles!

[@JoshGamingGarden]

It took me quite a while to figure out how to find them, glad I could help!

[@AaronWGaming]

Actually Look at the size of the building... it is about 6x6 and has a 9x9 crop field... By that result you could increase the number of growing squares if you could buy multiple "Greenhouses"

[@JoshGamingGarden]

Good observation! However you can only have one.

[@brianmaday9227]

I haven't done any testing to speak of, but if the clearing where the hydroculture plant is left 'wild,' you leave more space for Mirage Grass and Mirage Trees to grow. It may not matter in the long run, especially with the special locations where one can get those resources, but leaving that area untouched (after moving the hydroculture plant, of course) just might make a difference in accumulating those resources.

[@miunya]

Apart from cloth and the odd topiary what the f is grass even needed for.

[@KrazyCatQueen]

I wish higher level seeds gave you a chance to get extra crops too. Oh well. The special crops are fun.

[@bublegirl21]

This building cost a lots of things but in the end I find it quite useless, I guess I will build it as my last task in the game once I'm done with everything else haha

[@Deeniesweden]

I’ve unlocked mining level 9 too. This is so much easier to get the rare Orichalcum 😍

[@miluzamara]

in other words...ITS TOTALLY worth it....sigh but so much time. your farm looks amazing btw

[@Qu4lityTr4sh]

I have no idea how to organize my areas, I don’t know what would be the most efficient. I’ve already made the mistake of putting my farming area on the first part & not saving room for many regular trees to grow 😅

[@Apparentlygaming1]

Regular trees also grow in second area near the the bridge to first area but it's super cheap for the lumber and logs my farm is there but I make alot so I buy when I really need them

[@debbietucker9812]

Wow! What an awesome farm 😁 Great video ty 😊

[@hanayume86]

But why can't we buy off season crop seeds if we already repaired the hydro culture plant ,, whats the point?

[@HillbillyTrash]

Josh would you consider making a mining guide video? I don't have all of the hearts yet so I know i need to work on getting all those. But what kind of food do we need to take to be able to get down 50 levels to find that orichalcum?

[@freyafrettchen3808]

I've had 16 hearts and used the holes to fall down a lot of levels. Just used a bag of food I got from the cooking gnome.

[@JoshGamingGarden]

I would consider it, yes! Since you don't have a lot of hearts, I'd recommend making some salads (they give you extra hearts), 2-3 grilled fish (might be called slightly differently in English but fish is the only ingredient) and whatever dessert you're able to make. Your character won't be able to eat anything but dessert for 3-6 hours (not sure how long exactly) after the grilled fish, so eat salad → fish → dessert in that order. Also avoid the electric moles as much as you can. 😅 Also make sure you cook these the day before, as cooking takes time, and sleep before 10pm so you wake up at 6 and can go mining asap.

[@HillbillyTrash]

@@JoshGamingGarden Ooo sweet! I am writing this all down now lol and one more question, I've been making silver bars to unlock my third area. But would it be better to upgrade my tools first then work towards unlocking that area after I have the silver quality tools?

[@HillbillyTrash]

@@freyafrettchen3808 Oh! I hadn't even thought of him! I've been trying to cook more items so i can find those follower sprites so hopefully I unlock him soon

[@forestgrump4723]

@@HillbillyTrash I would say yes you definitely want at least a silver axe and hammer to go into the third area with

[@Gigi-fv9ky]

Any tips for getting to bottom of the 3rd mine? Do you make food to take and, if so, what? The moles get vicious in the bottom levels and I run out of health. I currently have 16 hearts and am finishing up 1st summer, so I am not doing too badly, I don't think.

[@TheLonelyLuneon]

I succeeded with soup, salad and desserts, anything else and you're gonna get full quick which is awful the further down you go because damage racks up fast Another thing is to just take your time, aka go on a rainy day or so and make sure your animals have food That way you have the whole day to get through it, though it's only worth going to the bottom once or twice Good luck!

[@kaykepop4084]

You can buy olive crystals from the sprite sitting by the large tree (can't remember it's name). You earn sprite coins and then you can purchase them once you unlock the travel sprite. And you can start earning sprite coins once you unlock the sky and lava sprite's. To me it's the easiest way to get the olive crystals you need.

[@lee-ridgeway]

You can remove the little pond with hammer?! Whuat!! Thanks for the video, omg, finally I can put my farm together properly

[@pinkpunk1313]

If you till a spot you don’t want to you can smash it with a hammer to get rid of it. Same with the horseshoe shaped ponds once they’re emptied and tree sprouts you can’t cut with an axe.

[@kimfuentes9547]

Thank u for these videos! They are so helpful! 😊 So, if you sell the olive crystal will it be available in store to purchase?

[@violet_cozylife]

So the season doesn't matter inside this building? Because in Story of Seasons Trio of Towns, once you've unlocked the basement you had to buy this little suns (don't know how to call it in English) for to make sure you'll have the right light for growing your crobs. I know in Pioneers of Olive Town you've the possibility to grow certain grobs during the whole year except of winter. But I'm just wondering, if it will work with crobs which are only growing in in Spring, Summer or Autumn as well

[@JoshGamingGarden]

You can plant crops for any season! In mine, I have crops from all seasons growing at the same time. Also, there are winter crops as well in this game, not just spring-summer-autumn.

[@violet_cozylife]

@@JoshGamingGarden Ah that's great thank you so much. Right now, I'm in the middle of Autumn year one. So, I wasn't sure if you'll get crobs for winter. Because so far, I haven't seen any you can buy in the shops. Although, I expect it but I wasn't so sure. So, I didn't wanted so say something wrong here 😊 Thank you so much 🤗🤗🌞🌞

[@SohiHien]

@@violet_cozylife shops only sell the seeds that grow in that season. You won't see winter crops until winter.

And now I have a tree in inbetween my fence & beach so I can exit on bike. But I gotta keep cutting it down & not able to place a path to spot it from growing. My farm is such a mess. 😪

[@sorara]

Thanks for another great vid Josh! Btw, it shows that when you move the building when things are planted you lose the seeds? Did you try going inside and all the crops planted disappeared? I'm curious coz that's just really sad losing all those seeds. Also thanks for clarifying the seeds star level :)

[@JoshGamingGarden]

I totally forgot to check inside to make sure they disappeared, but I tested it again now and yes they really do disappear, they're lost forever once you pickup the building!

[@gramcracker6358]

I waited until my third year to bother with this. It's very convenient now because the requests found at the Mayor's office now cover many different seasons...(5 gold strawberries, 5 mosaic corn, 5 jewel melons, etc...) But I have finished everything else so it used up the orichalcum ore. (I see no point in having a child. Yet.)

[@Bloebistan]

I have a question about moving buildings. If I move a coop or barn that has animals in it, will I lose the animals?

[@SohiHien]

no, the animals just wander around and you need to re-assign them to the coop/barn by either petting them or going to your notebook in your house and organising them.
