[Stardew Valley] Honeycrisp Farm Journal

END OF FALL (AND THEN SOME) [YEAR 1]

ok i got so wrapped up in the stuff i had going on i completely neglected to update this thread about it. a lot to go over

first and foremost:

got a couple more bundle sets done! these unlocked panning, calico desert, and the quarry respectively, all of which are very useful additions. the desert is especially notable because it means i now have access to the skull cavern, a successor to the mines that's a lot more difficult but is a pretty reliable source of iridium (and certain monster drops, but mostly iridium). i haven't made a ton of trips into it yet though because its a huge pain in the ass LOL

other events of note include...

• The Eggplant Incident, wherein i had to grow and ship 100 eggplants before the end of fall for a special order quest. this ended up being so many it boosted me up to level 10 farming (which was especially surprising considering that my highest level was in fishing for a really long time). i got a ton of money and a mini shipping bin out of this which was nice

• becoming Best Friends with linus (which, apparently, was my first time getting 10 hearts with any character). the next highest friendship i've gotten with anyone so far is haley at four hearts, for reference. definitely a pleasant surprise i like seeing him when i go over to the mines or do some lake fishing

• the stardew valley fair! ive been holding onto stuff for my grange display since mid-summer and im really glad it worked out. i originally just wanted the stardrop from the fair shop but i ended up getting basically one of everything else as well

• FINALLY getting into animals, starting with chickens. at this point i do also have cows and ducks but i completely forgot to get screenshots of either of them i really enjoy that one of my chickens is a dodo though. a lot of the animal reskin mods i got were for pets or specifically dinosaurs but i love these dodo retextures. theyre very sniling animals.

and last, but not least,

• i got another horse named josie.

this update was really really long i should probably try breaking them up a little more in the future. for the rest of winter given i have extremely few crops to worry about i think i am going to focus on upgrading my stuff and filling out the last few bundles available to me (most of the bulletin board and specifically the animal bundle in the pantry). even more than that though i would REALLY like to go hard on skull cavern runs, which is something ive both been looking forward to and completely dreading. the moment i get some damn iridium it is OVER
