the fact that seanie overlooked Monster Musk being used to farm coal from dust sprites, even though he complained about the lack of coal at the beginning, is straight tragic hahah

[@willb5278]

Right? He was like "Name 4 things." My immediate response was 1. Farm coal for a post-cavern's run iridum smelting party. 2. Farm coal for bees/jars/seed makers. 3. Farm coal for ore smelting. 4. (practically an afterthought) farm bone fragments for hyper gro. That's not even getting into the stuff mentioned in the video xD

And combining it with the hot java ring which he also mentioned, makes an epic coal and coffee source. And I will use monster musk and hot java ring when I've got the Qi's cooking challenge to just farm basic coffee to make into triple shot espresso.

[@tegang6452]

I disagree on the coffee machine, to me it's top tier. Not only does it add a lil spice to the kitchen, but I don't have to fuss with my keg and bean system everyday, I can pretty much dedicate time to processing those into triple shot. One cup in the morning is also perfect for Harvey Lovers (tm)

I agree with u! Also it's really easy to get and it looks cute

[@Nightstick24]

I think it's just useless because by late game you can just buy stacks of hundreds of coffees from Gus. So 1 Coffee that you have to go out of your way to collect isn't particularly useful when you can just carry around 999 of them.

I love the stone chest. I’ve always got way more stone than wood from various skull cavern runs, so it saves my wood for more important things like kegs!

[@Kasiarzynka]

It also just pretty

[@joyuna]

Yeah it's really interesting to me that Seanie says wood is easier to come by, I always tend to have more stone than wood and my wood gets used up quicker. Just shows the versatility of the game, how people can have such different play styles!

[@Vatiaure]

@@joyuna i think is because wood is indeed easier to get but is also has way higher demand than stone

[@_Moralle]

@@Vatiaure I don't think wood is any easier to come by than stone. If you wanted to, you can easily get over a thousand stone in one day just by going through the mines. For wood, you have to extensively prepare by planting trees wherever you can and then wait for a day with good luck to maybe get that much, but then you have to replant all the trees and then wait until they're all regrown.

[@Vatiaure]

@@_Moralle Nah, as someone that has actively been looking to get lots of stone I can tell you it isn't that easy to get. Particularly because in the mines not all rocks drop stone. Trees on the other hand can be plant practically anywhere (the desert being a good example) and even if you didn't plan for it you can just go around the forest cutting all of the trees. Heck, if you really wanted wood you could even change temporarily to the forester profession and eat some foraging boosting items.

[@MrJakeSuperior]

Seanie is sleeping on the bone mill. Late game you get tons of bones really easily, and it makes it easy to convert to useful fertilizers instead of bothering crafting them

[@MrSparklytuxedocat]

Monster musk is SO USEFUL for coal farming - that plus the burglar ring will get me 50-60 coal in a few in-game hours. I never saw the point until I watched Haboo speedrun perfection haha

[@jasbitmaster]

I'm actually an avid user of the farm computer, mostly for knowing when crops / kegs are ready. When going for completion I had a bunch of different crops growing in my greenhouse and it saved me having to go check it every day, as well as helping me keep track of crops back home while I'm on Ginger Island. The only thing I wish it did was keep track of crops grow on Ginger Island as well, and maybe used a battery pack or something instead of a dwarf gadget.

[@raeanna451]

Didn't see this comment till just now. But I agree 100% having it on ginger Island so that you can keep track of your machines and everything back at the farm is so useful.

[@unknownboi3824]

Ah the comment that I was looking for. I totally agree with your first sentences cuz I fall into same situations. I just don't want to walk around and see what's ready to collect or not because there are so many machines waiting around, so instead I use the farm computer too.

[@firstnamelastname6107]

i use it too because some stuff like tappers would be left for weeks without being collected and im too lazy to run laps around my farm. (also when i first got the recipe i had a dwarf gadget lying around for some reason)

[@kale5837]

I never thought of putting the farm computer on ginger island! I’m definitely gonna go do that on my saves, it’ll save me the trip back to check!

[@TheAlGoreRhythm999]

I think your rating the monster musk a little too low! It's very strong for finishing up the monster eradication goals. Some of those can take a really long time to finish without it. Additionally, Qi quest monsters can have some really good drops such as Qi gems, Galaxy Souls, radioactive bars, pressure nozzles, and even Auto-Petters. Doubling the amount of monsters using monster musk essentially doubles your chance of getting these items. (It also makes skull caverns and the mines more fun for me, but I accept that. I'm probably alone in that)

[@poco935]

also mining for coal is super easy with it!! (especially when you have a burglars ring)

Two little gripes I have with the list! You can get the coffee maker spring year 2 very easily. Most casual players still don't have enough G to be buying coffee daily, so it's really good for early/mid game. Secondly, here are more monster musk uses just for fun :) 1. Remember how hard the other Wizard quests are? This makes it easier. 2. Farming slime eggs 3. Farming coal via dust sprites 4. Getting the ancient fruit seed and similar artifacts if you're missing a few things for the museum 5. Farming drops like squid ink, bombs, or geodes. Squid ink is great if you're trying to romance Elliott.

[@timohara7717]

dangerous drops

[@bluerabbit7683]

unfortunately, geode crushers only duplicate a geode's result once. if you open a geode and get a prismatic shard, crack another of the same type open using your geode crusher while in clint's house. only works once, then the geode's queue moves on.

Personally, I use the bone mill a LOT when prepping for the Qi Fruit challenge, as chopping down trees has a high chance of giving Qi Fruit seeds and the bone mill produces tree fertilizer which expedites the tree's growth. which means more trees which then means more seeds

[@christinehelgeton4686]

i'm SO shook about the farm computer slander, i check that thing religiously, like several times a day (in game). maybe it's my adhd, but i constantly forget what needs to be done and what i've already done, and with the computer i can check that instead of wasting time by going into my coop or whatever to see if i got my eggs (or if the silo has hay, i never check that thing and now i never have to!) it's like my fave item of the update ngl

[@zuloph]

Bone mill is actually useful, I'd say great. You can actually put all bone type fossils in to it which is an actual use for them once you donate them. You don't need to use bone fragments and then it's just free fertilizers.

[@Littlechonch]

Omg these rankings are so backwards, especially the bone mill. There’s so much damn bone items at the ginger island dig site, I have gotten hundreds and hundreds of high quality fertiliser that I would’ve otherwise had a very painful crafting process for, just with a few hits of my pickaxe.

[@DameDallas]

Thank Yoba for fiber seeds! Before 1.5, grinding for fiber was rough! The farm computer is next to my character's bed because I check it every morning. It tells me what's ready to harvest in the greenhouse and if any crops are ready around the farm. Also, by late game, I have sooo many bone fragments and bone artifacts to use for the bone mill. It definitely has use, in my opinion. It should be offered earlier in-game, perhaps, but I don't think it should be ranked so low. Totally agree about the mini-fridges. They are amazing time-savers for recipe-making. And I agree that the stone chest could have had an extra benefit or feature, but I do enjoy the look of them. (And I'm not sure I'm with you on the wood versus stone argument. I collect much more stone than wood, especially mid-to-late game. The volcano dungeons alone can give you 400-500 stone per run a day!)

[@kosie1991]

Yeah so you can buy 10 mixed seeds every Thursday from Krobus and then you can use the fiber seeds to keep your farm tiled on spring one by planting during the winter.

[@DrZaius3141]

As I'm approaching perfection for the third time in 2 months, let me adress a few things: Geodes follow a set list of rewards that is determined by game seed (and thus can be viewed even at the start of the game with a tool like the Stardew Predictor). The Geode Crusher is always one step behind. This does NOT mean (as stated in the video) that you can get as many of an item as you like, just that you can get a second one of the thing you just rolled. This is really only useful for prismatic shards, because most of the geode stuff is decidedly about getting it once and you're good. One use for the Crusher is speedrunning - opening geodes takes more realtime than chucking them into a Crusher, but the cost for mass production is still ludicrous. The Bonemill is pretty decent. If you save up all the bone items (which only sell for about 100g each), you get a decent chunk of fertilizers out of it. Also, clearing out the dig site on Ginger Island every now and then is solid, and you get a lot of bone stuff there. It gets worse (better?) if you have to grind for one specific part of the island collection. If you get use out of the Mini Shipping Bin, it means you don't properly manage your inventory. It adds nothing unless you're permanently overloaded. The Mini-Fridge just saves you 2000g, because you can buy them from Robin. Just by 8 from her and you're golden. The item is still good though. The Stone Chest is actually not that bad. True, you get wood very easily. But you get stone automatically from every bomb you explode. And while you need about 80k wood across the game, you need perhaps a tenth of that in stone. So ultimately, the Stone Chest is "free" (as in using resources that would otherwise go unused) but saves you only 2500g for every time you build it. The Farm Computer is pretty useful if you learn how to read it (it's not hard). 150 machines ready? It's resin time. 1000 machines ready? Kegs galore. You immediately know whether you need to take care of something (without checking the inside of the Greenhouse, mind you), even if you use every last spot on your farm. Solar Panel is overrated. Battery packs are overrated. Think about it: Iridium sprinklers are only marginally better than quality sprinklers (96% coverage vs 89% coverage) and deluxe retaining soil is your first choice in the late game when we talk about Ginger Island. Meanwhile crystalaria are even more overrated, because they cost iridium for the sake of getting you iridium. Hint: If you don't spend all your iridium on crystalaria, you won't need so much iridium that you need crystalaria. Going deep in the skull cavern isn't a good money maker, it's just a good iridium maker. Which you don't need a lot of, because crystalaria and iri sprinklers aren't worth it. Bottom line here: Battery packs can't be seperated from iridium and both are mostly used to get them back. Fiber Seeds: Best item ever. Seriously, if you plan ahead, those will make you 500k in your first winter. Save up all your mixed seeds (mixed seeds are absolutely worthless otherwise), and get jiggy with wild seeds and fiber in winter and even fall of year one. You can craft well over 1000 tea saplings - before the first winter is over. Which means you can buy so much wood which jumpstarts your keg factory. The Monster Musk is a solid second place. Unless you're an absolute ditz (in which case, all power to you - all playstyles are valid) and have no plan what you need for perfection, monster hunter will be the last task and the one you have to focus on the most. Making the 15mill g you need is just playing the game, crafting/cooking/shipping/fishing every item is just a matter of not forgetting things, but hunting down all the monsters is an absolute pain. But wait, there's more: Having 30 dust sprites on a single floor with a burglar's ring is a lot of coal for little effort. It also helps with other special orders that require monster loot.

[@pan1884]

I like keeping the mini shipping bin by the bed, that way if I've forgotten to put things in the shipping bin as I'm rushing home from mining for too long, I've got some place to dump them and make that money that day rather than waiting for the next. :)

[@Autumn-Muse]

Counterpoint about iridium sprinklers. The extra 7% of farm space adds up rather quickly and gives you the chance of getting giant crops.

[@DrZaius3141]

@@Autumn-Muse It's definitely true that when we approach the high end of things, 7% isn't negligable. I mean, imagine improving a world record in any sports by 7%, right? But here's the facts: GH+GI=almost 1000 permanent tiles. That's 1000 ancient fruit wine per week, or about 2.3mill a week, over 300k a day. And mind you, that all very very easy to use, because you can harvest and keg it all on a day and it's always the same week day. Super chill. And because those tiles are permanent, deluxe retaining soil replaces sprinklers. Now, what can you do on your main farm? If you play the standard layout and have nothing but crops, you can make around 40mill additionally per year (33 of those coming from starfruit in summer, the other seasons are lackluster). This will require around 2k additional kegs but it's true that you would double your daily profit. So the 7% on those new 40mill is 3.5% overall. So there's 3 options: 1. GH+GI. 37mill/year. Work one day per week, have your main farm for chill projects (crops for cooking, animals for cute, sheds so you don't litter your kegs everywhere) 2. GH+GI+IriSp. 75mill/year. Heavy juggling with the workload due to irregular schedules (with DSG and Artisan you harvest SF on We, Fr, Su of summer for example). 4-5 times the workload, more logistics. 3. GH+GI+QSp. 72mill/year. Everything as bad as above, but you also have to first go get iridium for a gajillion (around 150) sprinklers. Frankly, by the time I make 37mill/year, I don't want to have that much hassle, just for some extra bucks. Or to put it a lot easier: Farm space is never the issue. And when it is the issue, max profit isn't anymore. Giant crops are so unlikely that they are only worth it for the aesthetics. If that's your thing: perfect, I won't tell you how to play this beautiful game, but they aren't an argument for efficiency or maximization. Also, maybe it is possible to cover a farm in DRS, but that just brings the worst 1st of spring you'll ever see with it.^^

I keep 10 of those bone mills on my farm, and I tend to have most of them running every day just from the non-bone fragment bones alone.

I actually love the farm computer because I put it by my bed and check it in the morning so I know if I actually have to go harvest anything or empty any machines Edit: Also if you take one to the island it only show the main farm info which helps as a reminder if I have to go back for a harvest

[@oty1023]

Seanie: monster musk is in situational because it can be helpful for completing monster slayer goals Later Chat: but have you considered that monster musk can help with monster slayer goals?

[@dimsthedimwit600]

Yeah But have you considered that Monster Musk is helpful in monster completion goals?

[@madeleineruusu]

the coffee machine is great for gifts for a certain mustached man

[@fangirlmode8705]

Except for him. Lol

[@twoheadedzombie]

its good for giving gifts in general, as almost everybody (-the child characters) have coffee as a liked gift which works out well if you cant/dont want too get loved gifts for them

[@renm4779]

I use the computer every morning so I dont have to bother checking my cave or green house and its easier to know when my casks are ready

[@Krystal-ix7ni]

Stone chests are great for me at least, since I have an infinite amount of stone. I have a big shed full of jades in crystalariums, which I trade for staircases at the desert trader, and then deconstruct each staircase for 99 stone each

[@quanto6558]

when i did the monster musk quest, i found the prismatic slime immidently right as i went to the mines.

[@leify230]

i like the coffee maker, i never get the java ring and i never grow coffee beans so i love stocking up on coffee and making triple shot espressos for skull caverns. and the farm computer deserves better, it saves time when you have a big farm and have to collect/pick/forage many things in a day and it shows you the stuff you need to grab

[@olivercuzzourt7533]

I always use the quality bobbers so that I can fill up a fish tank with iridium quality legendaries

[@emolgana]

Mini obelisk is superr powerful if you have all of your main obelisks in one area (and you don't want them by your entrance) Have one mini obelisk by your front door, and the other right next to the 4 large obelisks. By using your return scepter, you can easily travel anywhere on the map without much walking

[@noxnox2]

I got the mini-fridge, put it down ,went "huh...cool I guess" then I put it in a chest because I only cook if I need a dish that increases a stat and the rest of the time I just eat cheese

[@dimplesthehuman6120]

Seanie! you can get four cups of coffee a day if you collect the reward with 4 total players. Which basically means one triple shot espresso and one coffee a day

[@macheathers1861]

For me, coffee maker is S tier. Got coffee growing all over my house Harold Smith-style, got my Elliott (aka second most efficient coffee machine) and got a couple of kegs tucked away in the corner of my kitchen. Still S tier. I would literally lie down and die if I ever ran out of triple shot espresso.

[@alliewickam5850]

Fiber seeds are amazing for the fact that they can make your fertilizer last forever. Because it can grow in each season, you can plant it on the last day of a season and the fertilizer, speed grow, etc. will stay on the soil.

[@DefinitelyNotJay]

quality bobber is the only way i'd have completed my iridium fish collection with the legendaries

[@TheKoontzy]

I am weird and love the farm computer. I just tap it before I run off to forage, go mining or into town. Usually its right outside my door so I can just do a fast check. It lets me know if my cave is ready without running in to check, if my ancient fruit is ready in the greenhouse, or if my various farming items are ready (kegs, and preserve jars). If they are I know that I need to do a farm lap at some point that day.

[@shaylene437]

Honestly when you unlock the coffee machine, and have co-op you can literally just make a house, delete when you have the items you want (coffee machine, prismatic shard from the volcano, the rock candy from museum, etc) and make another house, rinse repeat until you have enough of what you want. I had like 12 coffee machines summer 2nd year

[@devotedcatholic3884]

Anyone wondering the geode crusher exploit, its when Clint crushes a geode and lets say you get a prismatic shard, the next geode you put in a geode crusher will give you a prismatic shard

[@YourInternetPandaFriend]

Stone chests are a GODSEND. I always have too much stone, i never have enough wood

[@KurouiUsagi]

I also love putting the mini shipping bin on the pier so I can fish for even longer each day.

[@hopefillledday9026]

I did not know you could do this, genius

[@meh8982]

Great idea! Sometimes I put one in the mines to empty out the day's stuff before going in, or to get rid of things from the mines I don't want. More often though I put one beside my coop and barn to take care of the day's produce right away, and the other one next to the greenhouse. Saves a lot of running around with items. I also like that you can get the items back from these mini-bins in case you made a mistake or change your mind about something.

[@the_vine_queen]

A better explanation of the Geode Crusher mechanic: The game has a predetermined list of what items you will get from geodes in what order (based on the game seed, and viewable with the MouseyPounds Predictor). The geodes you open up with the crusher are one step behind the geodes you open at Clint's. Therefore, if you open a geode and get something you really like (like a Prismatic Shard), you can open the same type of geode in the crusher and get the same item. Where Seanie's explanation went wrong is that this will only work once, then it'll move on in the list. So you can only get one extra of the item (you can't get anything in bulk). Either way, still useful.

[@arielle5752]

Love the mini shipping bin to free up inventory space in the mountain mines:]

[@stephaniewilson8230]

I put one mini obelisk by my front door and the other by all my big obelisks, so when I want to get from one place to another I return scepter home, mini obelisk to my main obelisks, and then warp to where I want to go

[@Pixel-Lucas]

Farm computer is great if you're spending a lot of time on Ginger Island, so you can check it and see "oh it's time to go back and harvest the greenhouse" or whatever. And the bone mill, oh my goodness. I get so many bone bits/fossils on Ginger island. Free fertilizer!

[@johnnooyen461]

The only use I can think for the quality bobber is if you want to catch iridium quality legendary fish, since you'll have trouble with getting a perfect catch.

[@Nx042]

Which is almost never the case because a lot of players will just attempt to catch the legendary fishes Year 1 (except The Legend since you need Fishing 10) Then again, who will even sell the legendary fishes? They worth less than a couple gems which would be much easier to get in the same stage of the game. And you only get ONE of these until you unlock Qi's Walnut Room for that fishing quest.

[@sortoflike1189]

Sleeping on the bone mill and the stone chest. Stone chest is nice because by then you already have a good amount of stone and you can focus on saving the wood for crafting.

[@zeropolicy7456]

The Farm computer is SUPER useful if you have a bunch of processing machines or farm plots. Or both. I can't tell you how many times I've thought I've fully planted my 1,200 plots, only to check the computer and realize I missed like 3 in some random corner somehow. It's always been pretty good at helping me correct my lack of patience in farming carefully. Edit: Wow. I must be a psychopath. Because I farmed and waited until I could build 52 Lightning Rods all at once and then never had to worry about battery packs again. So I always thought the Solar Panels were useless. Any time it stormed, I would purposefully stay up all day and average roughly 17-23 battery packs per storm. I actually have a chest like half full of nothing but battery packs. Lol.

[@danicaperkinson1960]

I honestly love the family computer. I have it by the front door and check it every day and it's super convenient. I'm horrible at tracking things so all I have to do is check it and boom! Let's me know my greenhouse crops are done or let me know my bajillion wine kegs are done. Saves the time you'd normally spend to check every day

[@raeanna451]

I like the farm computer because you can place it on Ginger Island. So if you're not up to date on where all your stuff is you can check to see which machines are ready and if you should go back to your farm or not.

[@2p-blog-thing]

Solar panel is not the only way to farm battery packs. The easiest way for me is definitely using rain totems and having a lot of lightning rods. Because, if you use a rain totem on a lightning day, that next day will also be stormy. So essentially you can have day after day after day of battery pack accumulation. This way, I almost never run out of battery packs.

[@boyller8964]

farm computer is good when you're planting a bunch of crops and then it gets late and night and you can't really see too well if you placed seeds in every spot. it tells you how many empty tiles of tilled land you have, so if you missed one square you can go and fill it. i use it every time i refill my land

[@junipimp1540]

he got all riled up on the farm computer and changed EVERYONES rankings 💀💀

[@samanthakelsey231]

I don't think mini fridge should be in amazing tier because you can buy them from Robin. Before fall even began, I had 4 already, so as a reward, I'd call it useless. As an item it's fantastic though

[@JoseMolina-ij3xx]

Monster Musk can help you get Taro Root from the Trader, though. It can also be used on dust sprites to increase your coal. Coal IS one of the most valuable resources in the game. Monster Musk use is not fully appreciated, but that's what I use monster musk for. Level 40 mine areas to get more coal.

[@qrowstle]

only here to say that coffee maker should be situational. because to MOST players, its pretty useless, right? I have married harvey in every run since my first stardew save. having a coffee every morning to give to him (which is a loved gift) literally saves my life. I dont like tapping into my OWN coffee reserves and making and using my own pickles and truffle oil is just too much of a hassle, even for my husband. coffee maker literally makes my life a thousand times easier.

[@qrowstle]

also i swear to god if a min-maxer shows up in my replies just to go "yeah but its trash because i dont use it" please save the rant for someone else. i have 700 hours min maxing this game. i understand. but i, personally, am a harvery enjoyer (tm) so you can take your rant somewhere else

[@Chelley_tho]

Monster musk is one of my favorite items for the mid-late game. It helps out a lot when you’re trying to finish up monster eradication goals

[@toffeejc]

I check my farm computer constantly to see what all is ready in my geeenhouse and if it’s keg/preserve day because it tells you how many machines are ready. It also lets me know when there’s fruit in my cave, and if I have random tilled spots on my farm, or if I accidentally forgot to water a crop. I find the farm computer quite useful for myself.

[@guardianfish7718]

I use the bone mill! Got a whole row of them in my shed. Speed grow and deluxe speed grows are so much easier to obtain this way. I get the bone fragments and artefacts in good quantities from digging at Ginger Island (which also helps collect a lot of omni-geods to trade for artefact troves - I've got one missing in the museum)

[@gyletre675]

Monster musk is goated when farming dust sprites. You can easily get hundreds of coal in a single day once you get the burglar ring, and it makes the getting of the burglars ring a lot less painful as well

[@MixxedFreak]

I just want to say, that I’m one of the people there use the farm computer a lot. I use it to check if my crops are done in the greenhouse, or my other crops on the farm are done, or if any of my machines are ready like kegs, crystalarium etc. So to me it’s one of my favorite items, cause I can easily check it. And if none of my stuff is done, I can run off to my other tasks. Nice and easy :))

[@FredericoASousa]

WOW. I used the farm computer almost every day when I got it. Its just so easy to check if you have to collect something in your farm that way. I lose track of the timings in the things I put in kegs and barrels, as well as the things in my Greenhouse. Not to mention, once my farm got big enough, Its easier to just check the computer instead of going all around the farm to check if I have things to collect.

[@modelmajorpita]

Regardless of what the item is, getting a free item every day is never useless.

[@dianagreene4257]

"oh gee, I'm grinding XYZ on ginger Island and don't want to run back to my farm to see if I need to harvest anything or if my large shed full of wine is ready. Guess I'll check my computer before I head out to kill some tiger slimes." "I'm not sure I found all the truffles since I let my pigs roam free because I'm too cheap to buy hay. Better check the computer and see if I've got remaining forage." "Do I need to hit the greenhouse today or can I just go straight to (time-sensitive task)" Sir, I intentionally save my first three dwarf gadgets for the museum and two farm computers.

[@craezygurl]

Love vídeos like this because I can see how differently we all play. I for instance love the geode crusher cuz I constantly forget to go to Clint and he hates it 😂

[@AshlynLeeThatsMe]

"It's a waste of time in every single respect." Wow, just like Clint! Him and his special item have so much in common.

[@lolli_popples]

I have an entire chest of bone fragments from the amount if times I’ve failed the museum quest, so I have used to bone mill. Not incredibly useful though.

[@kxlluaz]

I thought the mini shipping bin just let you send items to Pierre so the only time I've ever used it was when I fished a bunch of broken glasses and sent them all to him
