[@ThoseVictoriasVideos]

i feel the second farm because i also have chests that have specific themes but i could NEVER explain what it is to someone else lmao

[@tiitunen]

Me too! I have my own way to organize. Like... I have a chest for stuff I don't really use, but can maybe use when the time is right, also a chest for good gifts for the town folks and one that has stuff that I don't wanna move to where they really should be, because that chest is too far away right now. :D

[@tallgrl94]

Same! My husband and I play multiplayer on a farm and he’s always asking where stuff is and I’m like the it’s in the left most chest! That’s the SPRING chest!

[@mandydini]

I have a chest full of “ingredients” for craftable items. Then I have a chest full of ingredients that aren’t good enough to be in the first chest. I could never explain to someone why the chests are split the way they are but I can sort things into them quickly so it doesn’t matter

[@tiitunen]

@Off With the Salt! That is brilliant! :D

[@TuesdaysArt]

I like to have themes when I can, but most of the time it's just: "Dump stuff from my inventory into whatever available storage I have, including accidentally wasting storage by putting an item in more than one chest because I forgot that I already put that item somewhere else". This is why I need the Chests Anywhere mod.

[@elenna1237]

BTW the reason for all those staircases (and all those jades) is because Algo needs 999 auto-petters. Which he'll have to get from treasure chests in Skull Caverns. Once all the chests are full of staircases, that ought to be just about enough. 😄

[@TheAlGoreRhythm999]

Yep exactly right! I need 250k staircases (on average) to get all 999 auto-petters.

[@jerrywbrice]

I was just here looking at this comment and a guy named 999 Stardew had replied to you and said it takes 250k staircases to get the skull cavern chest floors for the 999 auto-petters... so clicked on his name and had a look at this channel and it seemed legit. Then I came back to ask him a question but the comment was deleted. Just like that. Here one minute yet gone the next.

I was just curious if you have an idea of how many hours it will take overall .. like have you extrapolated your progress so far and have an estimate on how many more hours it should take to finish this unprecedented goal

[@TheAlGoreRhythm999]

@@jerrywbrice I have a general idea, I think timewise I'm close to 65% done. I'm anticipating about 2 to 2 and 1/2 more years of real life time. In some ways, certain things are going slower and faster than I expected. So I'm not sure I really know exactly how long it will take.

I'm AgentGoob/Branch!! And yes, the movement is set to arrows cause at the time I didn't have a mouse and was just playing with a trackpad. This was actually the farm I started to try and relearn Stardew Valley after not playing for a couple years. I don't remember why I cleared the farm, but I apparently didn't do much else. I hate the mines, so usually let it sit for a while. I also hate fishing and try to get all the community centre fish from the travelling cart.

[@Vaternal]

Accurate

[@bonaf1dde]

The amount of progress really differs depending on how experienced you are. On my first ever save I had 2 mil total earning after 170 hours, and I had not even been to ginger island yet. And on my latest one I have 24 mil total earnings after 120 hours and working my way towards perfection.

[@chkris6889]

The farm I have with the most progress on it is comparatively bad to what I could pull off now, solely because of how old it is. I made it before you could even choose a different color of cat than orange. I have very good progress on it, but it's currently completely bottlenecked by Ginger Island. It just....didn't exist for 90% of my playthrough, so I did zero prep for the boat, and I've been stuck ever since trying to grind out iridium and hardwood (again, barely any hardwood, because mahogany trees are a recent addition).

[@Layorgenla]

I relate to the second farm so hard. Just entered year 2 and I've got all but the ginger island fish and the walleye because I forgot to catch it and then it didn't rain the entirety of autumn. My chests are everywhere and have themes but randomly contain furniture and other objects when I run out of room in my other chests. (Too much wood lol) I think I picked almost exactly the same professions too. The random flower chest filled with tulips as well, it had me laughing so hard since Seanie was confused but I felt a connection. Mine is because I'm befriending Evelyn and she loves tulips. I've also got a singular bomb in there, idrk why

[@pelahnar4]

I also change my key-bindings to use the arrow keys instead of WASD, even though I haven't play on a laptop in years. I've never managed to get the hang of (or the will to _try_ getting the hang of) using WASD. It's okay for games like minecraft, where you can change what direction you're moving with the mouse and basically are just pressing W to move at all. But as soon as you get into having to choose what direction you're going with WASD, I lose all sense of what I'm doing. I grew up playing games like Chip's Challenge and Tetris; arrow-key-only games. For some reason, my brain does not comprehend that WASD is exactly the same, just using the left hand instead of the right hand. Instead, I have a convoluted left hand set-up for interacting/using and I have all the hotkey locations memorized for opening my journal, the map, my inventory, all with my left hand. I've even got it set up that inventory slot 1 has a hotkey close to where the "use" key is and I keep my weapon in that slot all the time so I can switch to it quickly. So when do I use the mouse? As little as possible. There's only a few places using a mouse is necessary (I would be happy if the mouse was _never_ necessary) and I have both hands on the keyboard 95% of the time. I'm well aware that my setup is 1) not completely efficient and 2) would be completely impossible for anyone else to use, but... hey, it works for me.

[@Kiss_My_Aspergers]

There should be an (affordable) "ambidextrous" keyboard with arrow keys on both sides. Basically everything mirrored exception alphanumeric & punctuation keys. Maybe it could even have a package deal with a right- or left-hand mouse, or idfk even a pair of them?? haha. I think that would really up the ergonomic factor, too, and not just for left-handed _gamers,_ but just lefties in general lol. 💕 Idk That's a KickStarter _I'd_ donate to! 🤷 (...If said item doesn't already exist - again, at an *affordable* price.)

I cheated a bit, since I didn't realise how crucial kegs were and didn't have enough for all my ancient fruit, so in the last stretch I abused Blade's predictor and won enough games of blackjack at the casino to buy stuff to sell for millions of gold. Turns out the blackjack reward can overflow and become negative, which I did a few times while I was sleepy.

100 hours is usually when I reach perfection and start the next farm. To be fair though, I spend 0 of those hours on interior design (or exterior for that matter). Also, you can tell someone is bonkers when they'd rather have speed-gro + starfruit instead of deluxe retainint soil + ancient fruit. The latter is just much easier to handle (979 ancient fruit every week - and it takes an entire day to harvest and keg them all; you do make 2.3mill per week with only ~30min of work and don't have to worry about running into a sprinkler).

[@spencer4771]

Yeah, plus I hate replanting, so starfruit ain't it for me. I'm a sit back and relax farmer so I love the ancient fruit and multi-harvest crops
