Stardew Valley - Vault % TAS in

[@EvanBear]

Watching a TAS run is so satisfying, so many hours and hours of work culminate in absolute perfection, the very best that can be done.

[@hallucinogender]

This run is incredibly bizarre to watch. I had no idea that such extensive RNG manipulation is even possible; it's cool to see the limits of RNG manipulation exploited so much to make this run happen.

Every time I think I know how this game works, videos like this pops up to show me what a complete fool I am.

I would assume turning the portaits advances frames by 1. Dope

Have you ever considered doing a day 1 min/max tas, like what is the MOST amount of money you could possibly make day 1? is it just lame clay farming? or maybe there is something I dont know about. Ive always found in game time speedrun to be very interesting, strats that a real time player wouldnt do. I know the non tas min max mainly focuses on foraging on talking to people day one, but there is something that rng manipulation can do?

[@Underscore76]

the struggle of doing a min/max style TAS is that resets are a function of the number of frames that need to be played back, so it just ends up taking significantly longer and longer to tweak/optimize as the run gets longer. This isn't so bad when your goal is to reduce the number of frames, but most rng manip/TAS level min max would be a ton of pausing/menu manipulation that'd be real slow to actually build out. As far as a day 1 TAS would go, I can't think of much you could do outside clay farming, most TAS style manip would require either a fishing rod or access to the mines to truly min-max 🤔

love your work and wanted to ask if you could do a TAS cc run but with glitches, it would be amazing to watch

[@Underscore76]

Hadn’t thought of doing a glitch run yet 🤔 I’d have to look into the tech, most glitches I know (or at least the most broken ones) are for older patches of the game so I’m not sure how much is possible on current patch

[@N1K0420]

@@Underscore76 yea for the newest patch they are pretty much fixed, but I meant for 1.2 there you could have the fastest time with glitches

[@theendofthestart8179]

just curious, is 5:55 the best way to lose energy in the whole game, or is just the best without wasting time gaining the better way? also sorry for all these comments I'm just a curious man.

[@Underscore76]

The fastest way I think is probably chest exhaust. If you have items to block the chest from bouncing (the easiest is probably torches?) you can reach a point where you lose 2 energy every frame so it’s ~3 seconds to exhaust from full. Here I just don’t have the inventory to carry the sap or any other good means to block it so we’ll have to settle for every 3 frames

[@Underscore76]

PianoAddict I think had a way to trigger multiple chests at the same time but I haven’t explored it yet. Also happy to answer any Qs I can!

[@theendofthestart8179]

@@Underscore76 wow, so it could be 3 times faster, maybe even more? that sounds insane

[@theendofthestart8179]

Have you ever considered doing a multiplayer tas? or is that really not possible?

[@Underscore76]

I’ve looked into it and I don’t think I have the brain power yet to figure it out lol I’d need totally different dev tools to handle multiple player input and the only kinda viable way would be via local co-op
