I did not explain it properly in the video, but the uses of the milker and clippers are combined! Just like the hoe, sickle, and watering can are.

[@Japhox45]

so say, i just wanted to mine with the hoe. if i use the hoe 2500 times, i can get the gold watering can and sickle?

[@ssppippen]

I figured, because there was no way I had used the clippers 25 times by the first summer lol. thanks so much, this is great information!

[@dustinburkhalter5479]

who is the request for with the milker i do apologize for asking but i cant seem to make out who you said

[@JoshGamingGarden]

@@dustinburkhalter5479 you need to befriend Tei for the milker!

[@JoshGamingGarden]

@@Japhox45 4000 times, but yes, you're correct, you could upgrade the watering can and sickle even if you only used the hoe.

[@lentinsoup2501]

I didn't know you could use the sickle to collect crops faster! I thought it was just for the grass field. I was just starting to feel the effects of large crop harvests so this is a game changer! Thank you josh

[@rainbowharvestsprite4814]

dude me either!!

[@No-cc1fq]

Yeah because in original it would kill the plant

[@corneliastreet2491]

Yeah they used to cut down healthy plants :(

Same but glad I know now!!

[@katehaddock4024]

Josh I've been so eager to play this game and every guide you drop is like gold! You always seem to know the right answers before the other online guides. I hope at some point you could tell us more about energy, hunger, and stamina because it's not well explained in the game. But regardless I'm so thankful I found your content from RF5. YOU RULE! Keep it up!

[@boethia7367]

He really is the best! I'm so happy he tries so hard to provide helpful content quickly.

[@doryphish333]

[@bakeurkidz3811]

For the fishing rod is it by castaways you've done in total or fish you have gathered? I read somewhere on reddit you can unlock or by doing 500 castaways without catching the fish just simply casting 500 times.

[@doryphish333]

@@bakeurkidz3811 I'm not sure, I got the copper rod pretty easily but I haven't been counting my fish caught to know

[@cjytp1660]

If 3x3 means 9 tiles, does that means it counts as nine uses or count as one?

[@doryphish333]

@@cjytp1660 I believe it counts 1 use per tile so it would count all 9 tiles as 9 uses

[@cjytp1660]

@@doryphish333 so it safe to use the charging one then. I was afraid if I charge the silver watering can, it's still count as one use lol

[@mieshii23]

Thanks Josh! I started working on my new notes last night and this helps a bunch

[@raxalynn]

Thanks so much for the information btw!! It was VERY useful since most guides that I've looked into didn't show how to upgrade tools and when it'll be available ;;

Hi Josh, random request. Would you mind also putting the basics of the information in the description as well? I'm not saying do this for every video, but I had a hard time keeping up with the pace of this one because the information was dense and went by quickly. Thank you so much!

[@doryphish333]

[@boethia7367]

@@doryphish333 Thank you! Do we know what each level does? Do we need the previous upgrade to get the next one?

[@doryphish333]

@@boethia7367 not sure what you mean by each level, but copper is 3x1, silver is 3x3, gold 3x9. You need gold to get the blessed, but each set consumes less stamina so I don’t recommend trying to skip an upgrade as they also help reach the use counter to unlock the next level and make it easier. Even just a full starter field takes up a lot of energy to water it

[@boethia7367]

@@doryphish333 Thanks!

[@ImReadyAyu]

Might I suggest a text slide probably at the end of the explanations as a summary? I have to sometimes back up the video to hear what you said for each tool ☹️ I love the guide though! It's very helpful!

[@Kiyo-Ku]

Very useful video, thank you! Does anybody know if they charged effects of a tool still only count as one use? For example, should I still water all my crops by one square at a time to ensure I unlock the higher tier tools as soon as possible? Thanks!

[@duckynoodles3560]

I don’t have the game yet,but sometimes you gotta plan ahead

[@Japhox45]

So when you use the cooper effect. (1x3) doed that count as 3 uses or 1 uses?

[@aliciaperri9224]

Hi Josh, I was worndering is you can make a video for hybrid crops as I find it confushing

Can you do a cooking guide, I'm going insane because I can't cook anything other than soup an salads because the game said I don't have enough skill.

[@kg9000]

Cool

[@Alew06]

I missed buying the golden rod in year 3. Will it become available again to buy?

[@akito707boi_gracer2]

Do you have to buy copper then silver then gold in order to get blessed ones? Or can you wait until gold then buy them?

[@jenaehiggins7283]

Can you do a video explaining heaven mode?

[@botanicalbunny]

Super helpful, thanks so much 👍🏼

[@mrboofy8891]

Is it worth getting the bronze tools or waiting to get better tools? Also, does all of this progress carry over to heaven mode?

[@GODVxXxV]

100% worth going from 1 tile to 3 tile, saves a lot of energy

[@infernoreviews2529]

When can you actually start making hybrids ? I am at the winter of year 2 but everytime i go to vinny we can just talk.

[@WybieLoonArts]

I can see with the hoe that you're selecting multiple tiles at a time. Does the game take that as 1 time using the hoe, or does it count each of the selected tiles individually? I have a similar problem with cooking, does cooking say, 9 at once count as one time cooking, or nine?

[@Varunic219]

Cooking 9 in one counts as 9, so it's possible this counts multiple for the tools as well.

[@WybieLoonArts]

@@Varunic219 Thanks, there was an older story of seasons where if you cooked multiples, it only counted as one, so I wasn't sure 😀

[@Japhox45]

Hey josh! Do you know if there a milking room in this verison of the game?

Don't think so. The upgraded milker handles it.

[@cas4892]

What's the point of the milker and clipper uphrades? Do they do anything special?

[@JoshGamingGarden]

The upgraded versions consume less stamina and are faster. The goddess clippers give you double the wool, and the goddess milker milks all the cows/goats in the area instantly.

[@SuperLuigi1025]

Do you need you the gold version to get goddess version of the tools?

Yes, you do!

[@AzzureSky]

Ok, I don't think you need use clippers 25 times to upgrade them to copper. I think I only used them once before Van got the upgrade.

[@Kikakowia]

I think it’s a cumulative total between all the animal tools, so milking your cow probably made up the difference!

[@AzzureSky]

@@Kikakowia Might be, because I definitely z didn't use clippers 25 times

He may take cooked food. In the original game that's all he'd take at that point in the game.

@amandaham7571 I found the best way is to be his friend in chapter 1, and he may accept stuff in ch. 2. When I didn't befriend him in ch 1, he ignored me in ch. 2. Brushing the tomb also boosts friendship.

Is there a way to check how many times you’ve used a tool?

I don't think so. I do however think that its not just "use 2000 times" for the farming tools. I think its actually "use on 2000 squares". So upgrading faster results in get faster upgrades

Did you put it in isolation? Once the cows udders turn red, it means that they will give birth soon and you have to put then into isolation which is the fenced area inside the barn. Same with any sheep or goat, their cheeks will turn red when they are ready to give birth.
