Testing YOUR Stardew Valley Tips… Are they good?
we recently asked our viewers for suggestions for our Stardew Valley playthrough some very good suggestions building a coupe field snacks getting horses all of the stuff that you might expect but also I was really interested in some of these other suggestions figuring it out is your is the best part don’t worry about all these suggestions no need to rush there’s always next year how do we optimize when there’s comments telling us that the best way to optimize is to not optimize and not to listen to people
we go in between we just relax and chill and have fun but I think that there are some things that we should be aware of so I have the wiki up
the wiki
people have been saying we should look at the wiki cuz like people said this isn’t cheating there’s just a lot to keep track of i pulled up some entries that might be interesting for us like sprinklers what does a standard sprinkler do people say that we should save for a quality sprinkler which sprinkles a much better area and we already are pretty close and one other suggestion that I I really do believe in is that we should specialize i should do the mining maybe you can do the farming because one thing that people pointed out if one of us had been doing all the farming we’d be at level five by now
oh does that make sense
yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah so we can get better things early on if like I do all the farming you do all the mining
yes specialize cuz then like I can give you the things that I make with my mining skills and you can do the things for the farm skills like it just makes sense we have mixed seeds right shoot cauliflower seeds we have a whole bunch of that so the thing with ancient seeds is they last between seasons but they’ll die also in winter what we can do if we have faith that we’re going to get the seed maker we can go ahead and plant ancient seeds gather all the ancient fruit turn them back into seeds and start multiplying
well I don’t know what the seed maker is
see that’s why the wiki seed maker place crops inside it to make a varying amount of seeds does
we have to be farming level 9 to make that yeah but if we plant the ancient seeds now we might be able to get enough seeds because the main thing that we should do is eventually put them in our greenhouse and that they’ll never die in there and it’ll just be infinite good food and money coming from that
okay cool i don’t know what we have planted
me neither should I go buy some expensive seeds from Pierre
yes
okay
and specifically let’s buy melon seeds oh yeah and the reason why we want melons is for the specifically if you go to quality crops i can also get blueberry hot pepper and tomatoes
yeah oh yeah yeah a few of each like two of each and same for these other things you can get a greenhouse you can get bridge repair you can get the glittering boulder removed you can get the minecarts repaired like the reward for completing the artisan bundle is like just okay but the reward for completing the whole pantry set is a greenhouse the main advantage of completing these is like the reward at the bottom
pier’s like I’m determined to keep my shop going no matter what but I’m like hello i’d like to buy seeds come back when Pierre’s tending the shop he’s
too late Kaitlin it’s 700 p.m i can’t
i thought you I thought he was going to He wasn’t going to let the shop die he’s going to go out kicking and screaming take my money

it’s kind of weird
also the soup is gray well folks time for once again for the potluck ceremony i trust that you all put high quality ingredients into the pot this year we don’t want the governor to regret his visit to the valley we didn’t put a high quality we put regular strawberry well governor will you do us the honor of testing the soup well of course I will i’ve been looking forward to this all year kayen kayen too much too much too much i’m sorry
oh that’s a very pleasant soup the product from the valley never disappoints okay it seems like we did a good soup oh Jubie wants in i got a Jubie i’m going to go talk to Marne i don’t know how to become friends with this woman faster two hearts baby how good of friends do we need to be till I can go into your bedroom

okay I’m going to return it to Louis discreetly
should we just sell all the fish i mean people are giving us conflicting answers but
I think it’s all the fish we need money for chickens
all right fish fish fish fish fish what I was thinking is like should we like just do a row of trees that like are nice and organized
we can do that and maybe do them not right next to each other unless you’re doing it along a wall oh dang it i got exhausted again [Music] i have to rest whoa oh heck yeah we made money today
oh baby let’s get the coupe
time for the coupe it’s coup time i think you can finish the summer crops bundle now blueberries are needed oh my god
do you need me to do the robin thing or do you have everything
uh you can do it but if you’re going to town then you should go to the community center too and take these two things
which two things
i’m going to hand them to you i’m coming in all right go for it go for it
okay blueberry corn
please all right I’m off
yeah baby
i’ll have to spend our money
i’m just going to go fish today i think that takes less effort than chopping where am I going
robins right
robins yes yes i totally remember that i wasn’t heading to the mine no people say it’s a relaxing
not yet people say it’s a relaxing game we’re trying
probably is going to close okay yeah you
We’re trying to close
we’re trying to close we’re trying to relax we’re trying to relax it’s so hard
what do you think about right here with one space in between
i like it
okay is it summer crops [Music] oh I got a first sprinkler a quality sprinkler yes yes yes sprinkler yes this is a good day to get it was it a reward
it was a reward
that’s amazing
but like one area won’t need to to get it anymore
oh I got a 20in chub i’ll put it here and I think we can always move it later oh look she’s working
hi try fishing
try fishing again should I go upgrade my rod maybe I can’t even like use it in here
yeah I think I think you need to get a better rod although at the same time how much is it well we have $2,000 now
wow i love this sword it’s great it’s a bit of a grind to get it but like totally worth it i just need to go down one more level then I’ll call it good yes what’ I get what is it what is it
master slingshot [Music] nice and I’m getting some fish today it’s a good fishing day
some people use a mod to keep friendship from deteriorating that that that to me is a fine mod
because I feel like once you build it up it kind of seems that you have to keep
talking to them and giving them gifts like it just takes so much time to like track everyone down
okay what are the mods I’m interested let me count um stop friendship deterioration longer days
longer days and honestly that’d be it woo oh baby look at this
oh we have a chicken okay baby we might need to get to stopping point soon
okay okay you’re right you’re right that we’ve been streaming for over 4 hours
i think that I’ve reach reached a good equilibrium between looking at the wiki writing down goals which we have done a lot of make a silo build a coupe check
keep going in the mines you did that still in progress really good
planting less crops we did plant less crops
fishing and mining better for money yeah fish more i’ve been fishing
yeah but I feel like we did a lot of good stuff today i feel like we’ve reached a pretty good balance of how I want to play Stardy Valley do you think you found your stride
i think I’m getting there
getting there put her here talk to people every day i do talk to people every day they don’t like me oh hi i met Shane oh he’s very trendy shane left he walked away he said “What do you want go away.” And he left they said “Go away you are stinky.”
They do they said “Go away

Somehow, I am FINALLY early, but im watching the video from Gaming Uncut. i will be back for this video 🥲
I've been playing Stardew since it came out in like 2016. +500 hours of playtime on Steam. I still rely on the Wiki to this day for virtually everything, from big things like building materials, prices and crop growth to small stuff like the loved gifts of villagers I should know like the back of my hand by now. I find it way more chill and relaxing when I don't have to store all the information in my head and can instead go look at wathever I need whenever I need it. It's a lifesaver really.
And rest assured looking at the Wiki is not consider cheating by the vast majority of the SV community either! On the contrary, I think the concensus is that its a tool/resource to enhance your enjoyment and peace of mind while playing, so use it at your hearts content!
a shame you weren't able to do a Lucky Shorts Soup.
How is this video so low commented ? Still getting used to Katelyn’s jewelry.
Fun!
Specializing makes sense, since that's usually what you end up doing anyway =)
Just finished watching the collab with Adam Savage!! Very cool
Loved this stream too, was great seeing you (finally 😂) play Stardew
just a random earthquake 🙂
I just wanted you guys to know that you are the reason I play Minecraft, animal crossing and lots others!!! Thank you so much for introducing me to these, they are amazing!!! Also, once again I recommend that you guys play Twilight Princess, to satisfy Katelyn's dark half. Also, I think it's on the switch!
Keep up your awesome work!!!😁
seeing joobie in a video is so bitter sweet. rest in peace superrvisor ❤❤
You can put the shorts in the soup! And humiliate Mayor Lewis to within an inch of his life!
You should do an all bad decisions play through. Feed the corporations! Trust the mayor! Don't make any friends!
6:39 East is up!
Just fyi you can pick up and move the windows haha
stardew is 100% a game where you want the wiki open if you want to be more efficient
Not me hearing Joobie's name and instantly starts crying. She passed a week after my 21 year old boy passed. That was not a good month.
you don't need the wiki if YOU'RE the wiki
aka, my room mate who's playing for the first time "i can't find Harvey!" "Day of week and season? Wednesday Fall? He's above Pierre's, near the CC". I don't even like Harvey ¯_(ツ)_/¯
