Pursuing Perfection - Stardew Valley v1.6 - Summer Year 1

[@aruziel2020]

Here's a litte technicality you might not know, the description on the burglars's ring says "monsters have a greater chance of dropping loot", but what actually happens is the game will make two random rolls instead of one for each item in a monster's drop list. A bat, for example, will most times drop 1-2 bat wings, but with the ring you get 2 rolls of 1-2 wings, so you can get up to 4 in total. I really enjoy the format you've chosen for this series, going season by season. I wouldn't mind the videos being a little longer, but then again I could watch SDV content all day every day. It just never gets old!

[@Eggsceptional]

I did not know that! I'm trying my best to fact-check myself with the wiki, but I'm sure a few "bro facts" will sneak in 😅 I'm trying to keep the content/expalanation of mechanics spread between videos because my goal is to mash them all together at the end for one super video. 40+ mins per season would be a loooooong perfection video 😅 Thanks for your input!

[@ahobbitstail7022]

What would I do differently? Take a rest day and enjoy the sun 🌞

[@Eggsceptional]

That's what Year 3 is for 😉

[@adventureoflinkmk2]

13:12 damn, talk about a desert bus... 15:03 you mean the oooo 69 nice things 😂

[@Eggsceptional]

Man I'm dropping the ball on these lately 😅

[@GrandDuchessTaco]

The Green Rain event is new to 1.6! It was very fun to see the new things! I ended up winning the Luau in year 2 with the smoked iridium fish!

[@Eggsceptional]

It really took me by surprise! I always have to look up which ingredients are best. Gold quality mayo did the trick this year :D

[@danielmoody4925]

I been waiting all week for this!

[@Eggsceptional]

Me too!!! I've been loving Stardew so much :D

[@stefunnylim]

fun(?) fact: with 1.6 foraging exp has been nerfed when planting wild seeds (they used to give 7 foraging xp each like normal forageables, but now they give 2 foraging xp + some farming xp instead). fortunately imo green rain is pretty good in terms of gaining foraging exp, scything the big squares of moss/fibre gives 15xp each! i got recommended this series on my homepage, really enjoying it so far and subscribed :) also ur girlfriend making prismatic clothing w her first shard is so funny but also very understandable, the clothing items do look very cool!

[@Eggsceptional]

I didn't know that about the forage xp! Well, it's still useful anyway. The green rain days were an amazing addition. I have no idea how I would have had 999 fiber for the Statue of Blessings without them. I'm glad you're enjoying it!! I don't understand her choice with her first Prismatic Shard, but I'll never fault her for getting what she loves first. Me? I like bigger damage 😁

[@scottyanus9902]

Great spring, I would have bought the fish smoker recipe instead of the backpack upgrade to make a little more cash. Awesome work!

[@Eggsceptional]

It seems I've really slept on the fish smoker. It's the coal demand that put me off, but maybe in another playthrough I should put more emphasis on it. Thanks :)

[@SquallLionhart409]

Hello there. Thank you for something to watch while dealing with Macalania in my Lulu only run. Not having a way to kill Negator or survive Pain means a nice relaxing Stardew Valley video is even more appreciated than normal.

[@Eggsceptional]

I love that you call my gameplay relaxing :) The thing I remember most about Lulu is dodging lightning in the Thunder Plains. Brutal 😅

[@reicem3840]

This is the perfect game for this channel!

[@Eggsceptional]

I love this game! Thank you :)

[@MeteorManTGP]

The egg providing quality content as always

[@Eggsceptional]

I try :) Thanks!

[@azurrayne4140]

love these videos so far! please keep them coming!

[@Eggsceptional]

I plan on it :) Thanks!

[@Maliktheslowking]

Great video like always mate you never disappoint

[@Eggsceptional]

Thank you :) I do my best!

[@SaltlakePromotionz]

Nothing like listening to an eggcellent video while I pack my house to move!!

[@Eggsceptional]

Oooh! I hope your move goes smoothly :)

[@vfranceschini]

nice vids on SV; I wish they were longer :p i'm even thinking about re-DLing the game again! Cheers, keep it up and thank you for the content!

[@Eggsceptional]

I'm trying something new where I'm trying to cover all of the mechanics across multiple videos, with the goal of smashing them all together at the end. Fingers crossed it works :)

[@vfranceschini]

@@Eggsceptional It's been working out so far! I wish you success

[@tiffaneyshaw4357]

Love watching your stuff. Been a fan since you were around 1.5k and you're at 4.4k. Seeing you play my two favourite games is absolutely amazing. It's good to take a breather and do something else and not get burnt out. Didn't know you enjoyed stardew as well. How long have you been playing?

[@Eggsceptional]

Thank you!! I definitely needed a breather from Pokémon. I've played through Stardew a few times since it was released in 2016! This game had me hooked from day 1.

[@L337N1NJ4L1NK]

When I saw this in my sub box the other day I was rather disappointed that it wasn't the video yet. Super hyped to watch this. Edit: And I have since learned this isn't even the first one you've done. There was one last week and I missed it? Fixing that now.

[@Eggsceptional]

Yes! I did upload spring last week. I try to give about a days notice on the premieres :)

[@javadkhusro]

The video did show up in my sub box this time.

[@Eggsceptional]

Eggscellent thanks for letting me know :)

[@thelovelyredbones6364]

Another eggceptional video ✨️ 🥚 ✨️

[@Eggsceptional]

Thank you :)

[@jackruby6696]

I see chickens I touch

[@Eggsceptional]

What? I can't help myself :D

[@henrymars6626]

I started a solo run on stardew on my switch but bc i try to Optimize(tm) I stopped four days in to plan out how to stalk--I mean romance--Penny and the sheer anxiety of it has left it untouched. I should pick it up again.

[@Eggsceptional]

Diamonds are a girl's best friend! And Emeralds.. and.. errr.. I can't remember what else Penny likes 😅 I'll be perfectly content to be a profit seeking hermit for the first

[@DoctorKamino]

alright! more stardew valley content! Have you tried the PC version with a gamepad? or is this one of those games where i am "Choosing misery" using a gamepad, and just need to use a keyboard and mouse? Edit: asking as a lifelong "Die hard" Controller/arcade stick user. As in, since 1988 or so...

[@Eggsceptional]

I have not! I did play Stardew on the PS4 as well, and the controller felt far inferior to the mouse/keyboard to me. There are games though that I can't stand mouse/keyboard like Pokémon

[@DoctorKamino]

@@Eggsceptional i bought the game today and am using a style i call "Gamepad plus mouse". i use the gamepad for all the rough work - running around, combat in the mines, mining - and when i'm doing detailed farming, i move my guy with the controller and do the fine work with the mouse...same way KB/M works. i'm very weird. so its not like i'm suggesting it to anyone sane. just am enjoying the game in a way i can play. :D

[@Eggsceptional]

@@DoctorKamino Ahhh I like that! I've never played with a mouse/keybord and controller hybrid until very recently using the mouse as a stylus in Gen 4 Pokémon. It's pretty cool! Playing it the way you enjoy, just as it should be :D

[@Maliktheslowking]

I also have a question if it’s alright with you?

[@Eggsceptional]

Sure thing!

[@Maliktheslowking]

@@Eggsceptional my question is like this maybe in the future not now maybe you would consider try playing with fans also? Of course games that you like or is it impossible and sorry if the question is weird

[@Eggsceptional]

@@Maliktheslowking Not at all! I'd love to organize community events/playthroughs of a game where I can collab with fans. Logistically it's a bit of an undertaking, so currently I'm not too focused on it. It's definitely on my mind for the future though :)

[@jamesgrenier8856]

Steak and eggs?

[@Eggsceptional]

More like cheese and eggs... I'm just realizing that Stardew Valley maaay be vegetarian, except maybe Bug meat? You can have Bug steak 😅

[@jamesgrenier8856]

@@Eggsceptional ConcernedApe said that he was originally planning to have the animals slaughtered but decided it didn't fit with the themes that he was going for to have you raise an animals friendship and then ship them off to slaughter. There are some food items that feature meat or fish but iirc you can only make the fish ones yourself

[@Eggsceptional]

@@jamesgrenier8856 I mention in an upcoming release that Stardew might be vegetarian after having that realization while playing :P Fish, sure, but then it's eggs and Bug Meat. I could have Bug Steak and eggs...

Response :)

[@sarreid9578]

wow, you put way too much effort into this video for 400 views. good job, but like yeah

[@Eggsceptional]

It's mildly heartbreaking, but eggspected while pivoting content. Fingers crossed we see it bounce back :)
