Awesome video, awesome farm. But, as you've asked for call-outs: you can't grow trees to final stage right next to each other. Even when you just starting on a new farm on a new save - none of the trees will grow in adjacent tiles, there has to be at least 1 tile between them or they will be stuck in the "big sapling" stage" after one is grown. Yes, it looks very pretty as you did it, but can't be done in a normal game.

[@heythistlebay3221]

That's definitely true! I'm sure there's probably more than a few that are like that. thanks for the call out!

I didn't realize other people built farms in Stardew too! I usually do it when I don't feel like playing the full game and would rather start with a backstory or half finished farm. Loving your design in this vid too! Looking forward to more. :)

[@heythistlebay3221]

Thats so cool! I don’t know many people who play this way either 😅 it’s definitely a great way to kind of take a break without actually stopping playing the game

[@ArthurLodar]

i decorate my farmafter i earned a lot of money and materials to decorate so like at year 5 i will decorate my crappy farm

[@cecithewitchcat]

I really like this part of the game, i even do it with the town too and I like to try the other farm layouts :D. Maybe you need to have the catalog or a lot of money to make it easy LOL.

[@vanyadolly]

I love it! Finally someone who actually keeps the forest. I can't understand why so many start with the forest farm only to pave it over.

[@heythistlebay3221]

Yes!! It’s so pretty 🤩

[@narosedraconis2424]

If they Pave it over... Then those players might have trouble when it comes to decorating. Or don't really bother with beatifying ascetics, in the first place. It's hard to find a balance between looking good and efficient. Take's a few replays and inspiration. (Well at least for myself.) Many times I've seen players videos, that are awesome at decorating their houses and sheds, but not their exterior, and vise versa... Rarely in my video surfing, do I find videos where the player can do both. XD

[@wii2ooo]

​@narosedraconis2424 sorry if this might seem annoying, but it's spelled aesthetics

[@killerlalu1]

I'm on Year 8 on my first farm... a forest farm... and I'm so sad that I cut down my extra bushes! I'm trying so hard to finally design instead of just place things for utility's sake, which is super difficult for me. Thank you so much for your BEAUTIFUL design! 💜 I actually live in the middle of the woods, with chickens, rabbits, goats, cats, and a dog (we just got rid of our pigs), so I really wanna make it feel a bit like home... as I'm now housebound, well, no actually bound to my room and my bed for almost 99% of my life now. I have become allergic to cats and dogs and obviously can't help with the farm anymore, but this game brings me great joy, a few hours a week. Hearing your kitty was so cute! 🥰 I can't wait to check out more videos. Thank you for the inspiration! 💜 Also, from one Laura to another, I felt very personally called out with that technology comment. 😆 That was my area of study and expertise and is now a huge struggle, much to my son's amusement. 😂💜

[@cloud__]

i love how this really feels like a forest farm with the trees all over

[@heythistlebay3221]

Thanks! Me too, I’m kind of obsessed with how this one turned out ☺️

[@autismbeast]

if you feel like it i’d love to see a beach farm speedbuild! i recently started a new save with that farm type

[@heythistlebay3221]

I have some videos of the last one I did up on my Instagram page (same username). Downside is I lost the original content because my laptop crashed and I wasn’t able to recover it when I switched to my PC setup. I’m sure I’ll do another one soon though!

I’m so glad you made a forest farm speed build- I’m working on a forest farm right now and there were a couple awkward spaces I had no idea what to do with but your build has given me so much inspiration! 💚

[@heythistlebay3221]

Ooh yay! Glad it could help some. The forest map is such a beautiful map, I just started playing a new one tonight haha

[@Tori_TLCR]

Put common mushrooms in the seedmaker, make fall seeds. Use fall seeds to make tea saplings to sell for $500 each.

[@This_Is_Just_To_Say]

I love how you designed the space; there's such a natural flow and it keeps and expands upon the forest theme. It has such a walkability to it. I particularly like the animal area, that's a nice use for a space that can be a bit awkward.

[@mehh2264]

Im completly in love with this farm!! I just started playing a month ago and I just got to the point where I finally have enough materials to start actually planning and decorating my forest farm. I got soooo much inspiration from your video (also many ideas im definetly going to steal ahaha)

[@yazkaz]

This is SO cute, mixing the two stone paths is the exact vibe. I got on the game and stole that right away. It's also really nice to see a farm that keeps the feeling of wilderness and isn't so structured and symmetrical. It's a good balance. Thanks for sharing 💕

[@gabriellef]

LOVE your kitty names story! 13:25 on one farm I tapped a hardwood so I could collect the sap daily after I had my primary chores done, so I knew I'd already checked the cave, etc.

About the spouse area... I've tested this a bit, because I'm obsessed with the fact that Em goes and meditates with crystals.. I noticed she was getting grumpy because she wasn't meditating, I hadn't seen her out there.. ;) I had it blocked off, just the basic path was ever so slightly too cluttered... I cleared it up, just left her a path, and sure as shit next day she's out meditating. You never see them physically walk there as far as I know, but they will not just appear there if the path is blocked. Strange, but good to know lol.

Thank God, finally someone who also doesn't enjoy the Stardew Planner! In theory the website is great and practically it's also.. fine? But I don't know, the whole thing just gives me the ick especially since I can't see how things exactly look as e.g. trees are shown as a 1x1 block since they only take up a single block. So it's definitely not just a millennial thing, I'm Gen Z (and a software engineer..) and I also dislike it. Understand why people love it though!
