I Played 100 Days Of Stardew Valley With 0 Energy

Every single starting tool in Stardew Valley requires energy consumption. Except for... the scythe! But do you actually need any of them to complete the community center? I played 100 days of Stardew Valley without tools.* (tee hee) Or should I say, I spent 100 days in Stardew Valley with 0 energy? Does it matter? All I know is that it caused me pain. And, I know that you, the viewer, are here for that.

I can't wait to watch this! I feel like I play sdv with no energy all the time but that's in real life not in the game.

I wonder how well that would translate. 🤔

[@tinylith1603]

I believe fish pond quests aren't random but determined by fish type and their position on the farm, so you need to move lobster pond somewhere else to get rid of that 5 clay quest

[@Cheshiregrinn91]

definitely by fish type anyway. I had 6 radioactive bass ponds at some point and every single one of them asked for 5 golden bars.

[@lzmunch]

@@Cheshiregrinn91the position pattern is repeating. You might have just got unlucky

[@kiwamihollie]

is it? i had lava eels ask for basalt so i emptied the pond and refilled the same one with lava eels again and they asked for something else at the same quest

[@tinylith1603]

@@kiwamihollie You can check BlaDe's map predictor which is available at nexus mods, it does predict fishing quests as well

[@gamingtime9716]

Saltwater crab pot fish always ask for 5 clay for their first quest.

[@atkingofhearts]

This is such a fun and unique challenge idea. It so quickly goes from surviving to thriving. Like it seems impossible at first, then the gold and level-ups start flowing in.

[@Leapalot]

That first few levels in the mines really was the biggest hump of all. Oh. And rng.

[@Daemonkill22]

Betting on orange hurts me on a psychological level because the wheel is skewed 75% to 25% in favour of green. Great work, keep it up, never let them know your next move.

[@thelittlemanian3027]

if you want to do 200 days of this here's some tips from someone who did something similar for fun: driftwood can be put in two different machines, the recycling machine and the wood chipper In the beginning the recycling machine is fine but as soon as the wood chipper becomes available use that since it gives you more wood per driftwood If you get mahagony seeds plant them with a floor around them, let them all grow fully and then bomb then and put 1/3d or half through the wood chipper too for a more reliable source of wood when you get your hands on iridium save up to make a slime hutch, set it up by putting a spinkler next to the bowls, putting down floor on some of the inside so slime clusters don't spawn there and fence the slime in Make a slime egg press and enjoy passive income once you don't need driftwood anymore make it so your fishing levels let you craft crabpots for cheap and then make it so they don't give you trash Take all the low quality fish and turn them into sashimi Bam lots of money that's all I got so far Thank you for the awesome video

[@ChiyuStar]

I appreciate the suffering you're willing to undergo to provide us with some quality entertainment. I didn't expect you'd get as much done as you did. 😊

[@Leapalot]

Glad you enjoyed! I definitely got a bit more done than I originally expected. 😅

[@alicjak700]

About Fish Ponds - the fish in there will multiply by themselves if there is at least one inside (and there is space ofc). This means that in your situation it's best to put there the highest value fish which you can get from the Traveling Cart or Trash 😊

[@MissRyukkie]

You don't have to wait until the next day to see the tea scene. Just walk into Caroline's back room after you hit two hearts and you get the recipe the next day.

[@biscuitygudness]

yesss, i love stardew challenges like this! it's always interesting to see how different people go about things in a low energy / no energy run. the creativity in getting materials and gaining levels in novel ways are always such a highlight. wishing you the best clay luck for 200 days!

[@Leapalot]

Might be a minute before I dig back in lol

29:20 i love getting hatmouse calls. He's such a scrungly little guy

[@galaxi6585]

If it wasn't a 100 days video wheat would absolutely be the best for farming experience. They grow across 2 seasons and you only need natural rain twice (since there are two guaranteed rain days in summer), all you need is to bomb places, plant it and sleep.

[@mewsli]

Again you've hit things right on the head . As always premium content Leap.

[@Goteryup]

In my first playthrough of stardew I actually kind of just hyperfocused on the mines and actually did get combat as my first skill to level 5

[@XMeister5]

Also to access the sewers it's helpful to trade Omni Geodes with the desert trader for artifact troves

[@slwrabbits]

I discovered the wild bait for crab pots trick out of necessity on my first playthrough, where I avoided using the fishing rod because I was just that bad at it. I'm surprised more people don't know about it, given that I am far from alone in having trouble catching fish.

[@Leapalot]

Maybe it's more popular than I know, but that was the first I'd seen of it!

[@kirbyjoe7484]

The retaining soil is actually useful. You should have kept it. Summer gets enough rain that when combined with the retaining soil you could have pretty reliably grown at least a crop or two of wheat without any sprinklers or some peppers for poppers. If you felt like gambling a little you could have tried some wild seeds. You would have had good odds of finishing them.

[@cynthiabrogan9215]

Doesn’t tilling require energy?

[@kirbyjoe7484]

[@abielreh]

That seems a little bit hard

[@Leapalot]

A little!

[@BlackTempleGaurdian]

I've theorycrafted it before, it's actually entirely possible to master every skill without ever spending energy. For farming, you can pet animals, and till land with bombs once you unlock sprinklers. For mining, bombs. Foraging is kinda self-explainatory. Fishing requires you forage up everything for the Crab Pot bundle in the community centre, and unlock the wild bait from Linus to stock them. For combat, bombs.

[@orionweiss5418]

For combat...literally regular combat? Weapona don't utilize energy

[@BlackTempleGaurdian]

@@orionweiss5418 True, but... Bombs.

[@XMeister5]

Awesome video, was able to join most of your livestreams from this and this was an awesome recap. I have done my own No Energy Challenge before and I was only levelling up in foraging and combat at the beginning, also mining because of bombing copper... It was really slow in the beginning but it got alot of fun once I got the Napalm ring and could make mobs explode! For the volcano I allowed myself to use the watering can for the first run through, because you can only get a bridge built after completing the dungeon. Then you can enchant all your unused tools with the effecient enchantment and finally use them!

[@Leapalot]

It's sad! If I end up going for perfection I'll have to accept the watering can usage. 😔 Sounds like fun though!

[@slwrabbits]

Yeah, I think if you get lucky with which floors spawn, you might get a set that don't require the watering can. But you'd still need to break it out to get the two walnuts to the left of the entrance of the volcano dungeon. I am also not sure of any way to escape having to fish up walnuts that can only be obtained from the fishing rod.

[@Leapalot]

@@slwrabbits can't get into the volcano for the first time without the watering can too though.

[@daleonar]

I was doing a run where I pretended to be Linus and didn't get any starting tools almost simultaneously to when you were doing these streams and it was uncanny to watch how similar our runs went. A lot of the same hurdles, but I was on the regular farm, so getting bombs took the whole first year.

[@Leapalot]

Miserable lol. That's pretty wild though! Hope you had fun!

[@Isilily]

I tried to do a no energy run once and quickly got locked in on my farm from the debris I couldn't clear. Didn't even think to buy materials for a path right away. I also used the combat farm hoping the monsters would drop bombs, but that just made things extra tedious having to wait until night every day only to get nothing out of it most nights.

[@Leapalot]

I turned on combat in another thing I'm working on and staying awake long enough when I'm already done with chores has been so booooring!

[@haruwu9556]

such a cool video!! already need a 200 day follow up! also saw that u have some vods for a no crafting cc run, have u ever considered turning it into a video like this for us folks w no time? tysm!!

[@Leapalot]

Thanks for checking it out! I definitely have considered it, but I didn't record while streaming which means my audio wouldn't be set up the way I'd like. It's a little technical, but the short answer is that I couldn't turn those streams into a video I'd be happy with/proud of. That run was super fun though, so it might be worth revisiting at some point!

[@trentjamison5380]

an entertainment suggestion: i wish in the beginning of the video there was a story made about the character design, name, farm name for why no energy usage etc. example stories 1. character has some illness like fibromyalgia and avoids using energy like the plague but still has dreams of living life as normally as possible 2. character has stupid idea that by saving all their energy they can see the world e.g. "kevins small talk the office" idk maybe some other interesting ideas but i kept wishing there was a story reason why your not using any energy and would have been a nice bit throughout the video :)

[@hk.__.the.__.rpdr._fan]

Another amazing video! I’m really enjoying this concept. Will you be doing another hundred days?

[@Leapalot]

I made a lot more progress than I originally expected, but it would be nice to see some resolution here. On the other hand... this was painful... 🤔

[@armoredpumpkin8840]

I know this comment is a bit late but if you kill all the monsters on a floor the amount of tiles that a ladder can spawn on increases a bunch which could help you conserve explosives
