Stardew Valley but I have to BUY every map tile?! - Stardew Valley Tileman Challenge [EP 1]

[@glitch_the_pix]

The thing where you slowly earn the gold to purchase a tile if you keep walking into it is probably for festival softlock prevention, given that the tile to leave the festival is one you need to purchase as far as I've seen for the festivals so far and time would be infinitely paused at a festival with no way to pass out or sleep otherwise.

[@lost_l0ser154]

Strategy: Sleep for, like, 3 years so the debris covers EVERYWHERE

[@emmalution]

eventually found out it does not unlock the tiles over time :(

[@lost_l0ser154]

@@emmalution NOOOOOO

[@suji8285]

Poor grandpa will be so angry

[@violettbun]

That system where you borrow gold to buy tiles and pay it back the next day is clever!

[@emmalution]

right?! i mean i think that's what it is, at least!!

[@pegfingers]

​@@emmalutionit's not lol - for some reason the price scaling isn't actually what it says, from my experience. it scales much faster, it actually just costs 7 bucks per cell at that point. i think you're just cheesing some semi-broken system that helps you get unstuck if you get teleported into a block after a cutscene, like at the fishing cutscene

[@witchcraft2264]

​@@pegfingers@emmalution actually the display is just bugged so it never increases, but the price per tile is increasing at the rate selected in the beginning. The money accumulation when you run into things is a feature meant to help players not to softlock. Emma is abusing it a little bit but I would absolutely never have the patience to play this so I'd say she's earned it

[@emmalution]

@@pegfingers interesting... i wonder if it's buggy then because after some time it went back to 3g, i think there's something on the mod page that's meant to help fix pricing so i'll look at that for the next recording, thank you!

[@witchcraft2264]

@@emmalution there's another KZbinr, captain Canadian, who is doing the same challenge (more or less) and he made his own patch that fixes the display price for buying tiles. You could see if you can reach out to him and get his patch so that you don't have to do all the same debugging

[@Alex-vl6yt]

The editing in this video was just amazing. I have never once thought that your videos were bad, and I still don’t, but this video has really shown how much you have improved! Amazing work!

[@rauchschwalbelp7693]

I think Joja would be too easy. I mean, as soon as you have the path there, you technically are fine. You can plant seeds on your tiles, maybe get a few more and fish the rest of the day. Boring? Yes, but that's basically the only things you need. It would maybe even be possible to do it in year one then. But with the Community Center it would be REALLY challenging. You do not only need to get to it, but also to all the places where you can get the things for the CC! This would be a heck of a challenge.

[@sparkysheep]

I agree, I think joja would be boring. It would just be grindy, plant as many most effective seeds as possible and fish as much as possible and….that’s it. CC would mean having to actually try and find a wide array of things to donate which would require unlocking more of the map!

[@lisalisa1261]

new series!!! To do the CC would be more fun I think, and to buy every tile on the map, or at least certain routes? Like having to buy all the tiles in a CC room to "unlock" it before donating? Or buying all the tiles in a friends room when you reach two hearts? To do the maze on Halloween is going to be so expansive!

[@emmalution]

OOOH I love that idea!! So we can also do it as well go along! 👀

[@xxselenaxx2142]

I recommend chest anywhere, and probably a mail mod so quests can be delivered

[@readingwithmichaela]

i think doing the community centre will add to the challenge! having to save up gold for both joja and tiles might get repetitive?

[@bonkersbusy]

I think you're doing awesome with this mod. I love watching you fish and chat and I love that YOU are prioritizing fishing 😂. I vote for the CC. Wow! An ancient seed will be awesome! Sending Love❤ Have an absolutely wonderful day.😊

[@emmalution]

That’s how you KNOW I’m desperate 🤣🐟 appreciate you!

[@1narutogirl6]

This challenge interests me but ALL the other videos ive seen the mod is bugged so it charges more coins faster than it should. And the reason why its giving you coins when you are at 0 and walking in a blocked tile is because the game thinks youve somehow gotten yourself stuck and is giving you coins to free yourself so you dont get softlocked in place

[@Kaenightowl]

So excited for a new series! I would say since this is a challenge run, it should be as challenging as possible! Go for the CC. But either way I'm happy to see you try this challenge. Best of luck!

[@J_Isak]

I'm so glad you are giving it a chance to see how it flows and not going "omg too easy" after 2 minutes of playing then trying to change mod files like it's supposed to get harder as you go.

[@hearte-x]

I love that Settled has inspired this challenge in multiple games. Love that guy 😊

[@mwillis7791]

I love that you have an edited video of this. I’ve seen several but the are long livestreams and I usually don’t have the time to do that.

[@nan.bells108]

Excited to see that you're doing the tile man challenge! This seems like a hard challenge but you've done the one-life challenge before, so I know you'll make it through somehow! A CC run should be fun since it's more challenging in this format! I think using some mods to help somewhat is viable in this challenge, like the chests anywhere mod, or something like the minecarts mod because you'd still have to buy the tiles to get to the minecarts or those chests but it would still help. Great video! Can't wait to see what you do in the next episodes!

[@This_Is_Just_To_Say]

Awesome start! Will be tuning in to see how this goes moving forward. Aiming for perfection should be interesting, aiming to unlock all the tiles is such a tantalizing idea, idk how possible that'd be though.

[@HerminWermin]

So excited for a beach farm run!

[@pelahnar4]

Hey, I'm excited to see you doing this challenge! I haven't actually watched anyone else for a weird reason of, like, I've seen a couple people doing streams of it while I wasn't in the mood to watch a stream...but this seems like the kind of challenge I don't just want to jump into the middle? I don't know, I don't think it really makes sense. But now you're doing a video format series of it, which is great!

[@same_universes.]

This is so fun!!!!!!!!! Cant wait for the next episodes! Keep up the awesome work!

[@Liketaknoww]

My vote is on community center run! This is the kind of challenge where I'm so glad there are people out there who are willing to do it because I would grow absolutely furious with frustration if I ever tried XD

[@SyfyRules]

seems to me like with this challenge the joja route would actually be the easy way out. think about it. for the joja route you just need to reach joja and earn gold via farming or fishing. for community center you need to go all over and find so many things. sure, if you aim for perfection you'll need to do everything eventually anyways, but early game will be easier with joja.

[@queserasera090]

doing this on expanded would go crazy! Love your videos, favorite stardew creator so glad i found you :D

[@lalamaow]

I really like the way you edit this video, I'm so exited for this challenge, the one life challenge left a empty in my heart when it ended so I'm really excited to see you evolve in this challenge!

[@FlameEmber]

I love this. I'm looking forward to seeing you pull off a perfection run it will be so complicated 😅

[@TheLittleMessenger]

I'm SO EXCITED for this new challenge, lets go!!! And I love how you make everything as challenging as possible for yourself, I relate! Can't wait for the next one :3

[@Clueless_Nina]

I'm gonna be honest, I wasn't too sure about this challenge at first, but this video has completely changed my mind. Its a lot more fun to watch than I had anticipated! Can't wait for the next episode ❤

[@k_pufflz]

As much as I am a CC stan this is the perfect challenge for Joja. I meaaaaan you have to pay to unlock every tile AND pay for community upgrades?? That’s got Joja written allll over it

[@bigweathertruther6373]

Would love to see more of this series! Also, I think the tile purchases with no money left is meant to help if you get stuck haha

[@mdavis2271]

It’d be nice to have another level where the increase per tile is per season and/or year too! I think that would be a more sustainable progression that’s a little easier than level 1 I think. But that’s mod is still amazing and great work by the creator!

[@wafflepolly]

this is only the third challenge run (after one life and archipelago) i've started watching you do and i am laughing that in every one you've said how much you hate fishing and in every one it's been the primary focus for a lot of it 😅

[@emmalution]

I still hate it 🤣🙅🏻‍♀️

[@corner_goblin8171]

i'm a settled fan! His series was so interesting, looking forward to seeing you tackle the challenge!

[@meatballkat]

just finished the one life series and am close to finishing the archipelago randomizer series, so I'm very excited for this! I think the CC route would be interesting to watch, as long as it isn't painful LOL. also- loving the loot review bit!!

[@suan333]

Sometimes i worry if Emma has masochist tendencies 😂😂😂😂

[@mycenria]

This is a fun challenge. Can't wait to see the next video 😊

[@Sanisgillon]

Really really enjoying this series, anything to limit run away success! I'm engrossed!

[@sparkysheep]

I agree that doing a week at a time in this series would mean short unsatisfying videos, there’s gonna be a lot of days where nothing very much happens so I think an every two weeks or even an every season per episode would be good depending on how many actually interesting things happen! One thing that may be interesting is if there’s a counter you could add to the mod that would count how much you’ve spent on tiles total so at the end we could see how many millions it took to buy all the paths!

[@unrightist]

Yawning can be a stress/anxiety thing si maybe that's why you yawn when you're fishing

[@fernandaa7334]

This is fun! I think it would work wonderfully with a ton of expansions and things like ppja because it would balance a lot the extra content and money.

[@arachnerd4493]

someone may have already commented this but the beach farm waters can give you crab pot stuff as one of its special features!

[@onnivinpelzel6368]

Thank you to the Blrbrrys for voting for this!

[@kithric4878]

"It's already difficult why not make it worse?" 😂 amazing

[@Web_Metz]

I am imagining this mod with a Fog of War. Where you can't even see what is on a tile without unlocking it.

[@soapy_python9828]

Yes! I thought Yesterday was Saturday and was sad this wasn't out yet lol

[@mysweetraina]

as always, loving your videos so much!!

[@RagingMel42]

Hopefully someone has told you this by now, but if you hover over an item in your inventory, the community center icon on the right side will pulse/light up so that you know that item is still needed for a bundle 😻 hope this helps for your future runs!

[@emmalution]

i always forget about this because of UI info suite!

[@xxselenaxx2142]

I hope to see you beat the game not just cc, I’ve yet to see ginger island with this mod

[@bipbop3121]

watching you not eat the seaweed and fish, until exhaustion, hurt

[@cexilady3333]

I always keep the joja colas for quests and energy. I'd rather have the energy and I don't think they sell for much if at all. Edit: forgot to say I like the video oops, I have too much adhd for the longer streams but your edited down videos are *chefs kiss* and I LOVE the loot reviews

[@mitsouqc]

EMMA! ConcernedApe announced today that sv 1.6 is coming out the 19th of march! Can’t wait to see your new 1.6 playthrough! And hopefully you have enough time to finish the current one

[@gamesandjournalythings]

If you’d like to make it a tad bit easier, the warp network mod can get you to the warp points in the mountains and the beach so you can at least save a few tiles trying to get places.

[@littleshechan]

Having to buy the Festival tiles feels like a giant middle finger smack dab into your face 😅

[@LegendFinn007]

so exited for this

[@oponentgull186others4]

The running into tiles thing is likely a soft lock prevention, but there is no paying back tiles, the scaling just doesn’t show up.

[@Amelia-on9xg2nt9p]

So I was initially thinking you’ve done harder CC runs so much recently you could totally change it up on this one with Joja and really go money focused this run but then you said “perfection is too easy, right?” lol I’m excited to watch whatever you decide!

[@pokadotplot]

Let's goooo!

[@Failary]

Love this new series!

[@MsLaurenRox]

Can’t wait for episode 2!

[@greenbeantm1096]

5:23 imagine doing this with SD expanded…

[@raine2502]

Maybe not for this series but you should check out the seasonal affixes mod! I just got perfection on a save with that as well as all bundles mod! Was heaps of fun

[@sh4wty7]

I hope you manage to go to perfection, it would take a lot of time but it would be so cool

[@anonalpaca2513]

if I had to guess, the slow "free tiles" are some kind of softlock prevention

Crab pot fish only appear in the fishing mini game on the beach farm.

[@seraphimtear7700]

You said you can't get a quest until you know someone but you had one from Clint as your first one and you haven't met him yet... so I think it's something else.

[@daymare0]

it's so funny how much you hate fishing when it's my favorite part of the game

[@melinawettstein4361]

so funny seeing you forced to fish 😂😂

[@emmalution]

😭

[@bennydreamly]

There’s a setting to click and buy tiles instead of walking into them.

[@bennydreamly]

Press 'H' to switch control mode. One for buying the tile in front of you, the other to use the mouse instead

[@jesserhiannon7]

Not sure how much this would help (and I know you have the sticky bundle 🥴) but when you unlock fertilizer, you could sell that?

[@h3llosweetie631]

buying a path for a trash route would be smart early on. you can get forage in the trash.

[@thegaymingavenger]

Wait how did you catch that cockle? I've never ever fished one and the wiki doesn't list fishing as a source to obtain it through either. I am so confused.

[@emmalution]

it's a beach farm thing!

[@thegaymingavenger]

That's so wild. My no mines playthrough is on the breach farm and I rely heavily on fishing. Now I'm wondering if I fished one up and never realized 😮

[@Ashleylikesbunnies]

As much as I dislike joja it does seem fitting for this challenge!

[@FroststormFrenzy]

The price increasing isn't paying back what you 'borrowed', it's just the price naturally increasing. Regarding the free money you're given, I'm guessing it's more of an anti-softlock feature. For example, at the egg hunt, if you bought too many strawberries, you could accidentally softlock yourself without the free gold.

[@emmalution]

think the reason i thought it was "borrowed" was that i am sure i saw it take 7G when i still had money. the max cost on my difficulty level is 5G and that's not til 10,000+ tiles! could have read wrong though :)

[@FroststormFrenzy]

@@emmalution It was actually taking 8G to buy tiles, but I just checked, and you were already at 8G per tile before you started charging money up. At 6:01, you spent 16G when buying two tiles (59 -> 43), and you didn't discover the free tile thing until you ran out of money a few seconds later
