Two Weeks of the Tea Sapling Billionaire Challenge

[@Underscore76]

For those who want the sped up version, it’s 8 MINUTES kzbin.info/www/bejne/rZu8nGyXl9aHpK8 Note this is just 2 weeks of gameplay, it’s probably 50 years in game at current pace to reach 1B

Mesmerising. However , I will not show my Grandson this video as he will say " why don't you play as fast as that Granma😂😂😂"

[@Underscore76]

9:35 chore: go to bed chore: consume food as an insomniac with adhd i feel called out

[@zachary20XX]

you ever get emotional because you just love all the weird things that have spawned out from this challenge

[@louloudaki_]

the most roundabout way to turn trees back into trees

[@olliefischer]

thank you for an hour and a half of ✨the good sound✨ couple questions tho: when you were trading stones for fiber, why did you (or rather, the script) stop each trade before fully clearing out your inventory? why did you never store your unneeded tools (axe, watering can) in a chest to increase your inventory space (and make trades more optimal)? and did you really get all of those casino coins without blackjack manip?

[@Underscore76]

For the stone trade: I have a bug in my code and I have no idea why it doesn’t full buy so I just gave up for now. Moving inventory would probably make sense, it shouldn’t be that big an improvement (it’d be faster if I honestly stopped dumping inventory like wood after ever woodchipper cycle…) And yeah, with good daily luck+magic rock candy/ginger ale and a stream on in the background you can grind a ton of qi coins

[@thom534]

excellent video, i was wondering what software i would need to script stardew valley in a similar way to you?

[@Underscore76]

This was made using the SDV TAS Mod and coded in lua, if you check my github I have most of the code up that was used for rhis (excuse the lua mess lol) github.com/Underscore76/SDVTASMod github.com/Underscore76/TASScripts

[@SamVanDam]

Not gonna lie. I kind of feel cheated that we don't actually see the tea saplings crafted, shipped, and the massive payday screen

[@Underscore76]

We’re so far away from 1 billion still lol

[@SamVanDam]

@Underscore76 OH, that makes sense, lmao

[@smoothwalrus9354]

What were the machines that were producing stone? I've done one full playthrough and never saw them in game

[@smoothwalrus9354]

Oh wait the deconstructor, of course. Do they give you back 99 stone if you put stairs in? And does that trickle back to you one by one or does all 99 come out at once?

[@OnlyTAS]

How much do you think your scripts save over manually TASing?

[@Underscore76]

Usually it’s like a frame lost here or there cause I don’t pipeline/chain between things super great but the harvesting is pretty close. The big difference is the scripts can run at like 3-5x game speed when not throttling frame rate so maybe 30 mins to run 1.5 hours of content vs I would take several hundred hours if I wanted to hand craft this same thing (I’d also be more picky on “Waiting…” then vs if I just let the bot play)

[@OnlyTAS]

​@@Underscore76couple of frames vs your sanity, the choice is easy (of course the frames)

[@chermori5060]

So cool!!

[@scribbledinksdv]

important question how does robot decide when chores are done and it is time to go to bed

[@Underscore76]

It scans the current game state from memory (count how many things are in a chest, is a crop available at a specific tile, is a machine ready, etc). Everything is rules based. And the latest you can go to bed is 1220 for obvious reasons

[@mahkda1243]

Is it not faster to charge the hoe to till a larger area rather than tilling individually ?

[@demonicmerma1d22]

It makes animation cancelling the hoe slower, iridium might possibly be faster but like not worth it

[@Underscore76]

It’d definitely be slower for the GI flip, not sure if would be faster on the season shift re-till 🤷‍♂️ but it’s probably close

[@demonicmerma1d22]

@Underscore76 oh yeah it would be slower for that case, I just defaulted to the same case as what minmax watering can upgrades do where you need every tile watered

[@mckeithenmccormick9642]

Why doesn't your energy seem to change at all during the season change re-tilling?

[@Underscore76]

Efficenct enchant on the hoe, figured it would save a lot of hassle worrying about energy

[@Ur.senpai]

Caroline should break up with Pierre and start tea business
