I had the awful feeling about this in the middle of the video and...I don't think I can live through when the moment comes.. Edit: it came earlier than anticipated DD:
I didn't expect a follow up on this! this is fun. It makes me wanna try it myself. Not scything all the fibers in summer/autumn seems like a loss to me because you would've gotten a lot of seeds from it to plant in the beginning of the next season. Also keeping the forageables for the community center and using the extras to make wild seeds. But I do think trying this out on a map with a mines section would be easier. However, the crates and other stuff that wash up on the beach are also useful.
@@RimaChan024 he wanted the crystellarium, which requires you to finish a few bundles first. Could’ve tried to complete those when he goes out once a year
I would say: You're allowed to go to the town at the end of spring.... and every year you're only allowed to leave the farm at the end of spring.. that way you would need to get the most money in the first season to get the fishing rod, crab pots maybe... thinking ahead for lvl 10 fishing, you could get the backpack, start the community center and such... so you have some actually plausible and entertaining progress after one year. also... dig up dirt for clay... for money and maybe save up money for a structure of some kind.
I'm doing a hermit run and I made a couple changes, I'm playing on the 4 corners map and my farm is barren, no grass/weeds/trees/stones aside from the quarry (bottom right) seed patch (top left) farm (top right) and tree farm (bottom left) leaving the farm on the last day of every season allowed me to start fishing up trash (on purpose) to recycle into iron ore, I already upgraded my pick and my axe and I'm finishing up winter
In this video, we wait in horror for the other shoe to drop when he heads to the community center for the first time and learns several terrible things about the crystalarium 1) the vault is the last set of bundles you unlock, so you have to complete like three bundles before you have the option to buy the crystalarium 2) you can't complete any bundles on your first trip because you can't read Junimo 3) you learn how to read junimo by WAITING ANOTHER DAY so you can trip out on forest juice with the local wizard Kevin's right about one thing. Summary: fecked.
Just so you know, anything you get out of the geodes you can sell immediately to Clint, and be sure to get rid of any of the wood logs, small tree stumps and weeds, as they’ll prevent other things from growing and spawning Hope to see another stardew video!
I'm just here wondering why he didn't continued scything the grass and the fiber for seeds on summer and autumn. Also, probably the four corners farm would be a good farm to do this challenge
well maybe, but the 2 small ponds basicslly only give you trash, and i think the bigger one either trash or bad fish. at least the beach farm has better fish, ehich will help you get more money.
The whole “leaving home only once a year” rule actually lines up with what Linus does. Outside of events, there’s only one day a year he actually passes through town.
Tbh I think based on his first cutscene he does go into town at night to rummage through garbage sometimes he just doesn’t really interact with the villagers
I have 2 tips: you can sell the minerals to Clint when you get them out of the geodes. Any hoe-able ground has a chance to give you winter roots and snow yams in winter
I watched this with my mother who loves Stardew and has 4k hours in the game with her best friend. She mentioned a few things that you should look out for in the future: - the bottom left part of the farm that has dirt is the best for planting crops and using sprinklers, but if you prefer to have them up by your house so you can skip through days and check them quickly that is fine - make wild seeds!! If you get enough of the seasonal forage to make seasonal wild seeds, you can either sell the seeds for a price that is greater than the combined price of the 4 forage that you use to make it. You can also plant them to get MORE forage and make more wild seeds to sell or replant. She and her friend always make and sell wild seeds (because they have better things to do than actually plant and cultivate those seeds in their games) - there were more things she mentioned, but either you brought it up later in the video or I forgot them since we watched the other day.
I didn't finish watching the video but as I watched him chop down trees, the realization came to me about the community center as well and I thought "Oh Kevin, you're in for a treat"
Him trying to “sell” to Gunther makes me want to cry, he could have sold all those valuable gems to Clint. Also he could have gotten so much money from getting all those seeds from the weeds and growing them, especially the two-season crops
I feel like I should add that I don’t mean I’m frustrated or disappointed, I just feel bad that Kevin is working so hard when it could be way easier for him
Small Tip: I usually check on the mushroom cave each day since, for me, the mushrooms spawn daily. And that’s how i got like 200+ common mushrooms halfway into Year 2. That cave is basically free money at that point.
This is fun! I'm actually curious how much it would change with the four corners farm since that one has a little of everything including the little mining section. Also, whenever you have extra energy try hoeing the ground. That will give you clay/ coal/ artifacts and sometimes ore. Then pickaxe the ground to unhoe it so you still have a chance for stuff to spawn in that spot.
I've played a lot of Stardew Valley and watched several others play but this is by far the most entertaining and intriguing playstyle by far. I'm inclined to give it a go myself sometime
Every time he mentions "buying" the duplicator I was like "Huh, I didn't know Pierre sold that". Then he mentions it being a BUNDLE and I'm like... Kevin honey... You can't unlock the Vault.....
We should ask him for a sign, if he is captured... So the next video he should say "I am a hermit forever" if we should call pol... kappa hehehe... hehe... he...
Fun fact: Kevin’s character is based on his real life where he’s kept in his houses basement by Jim Pickens, who forces him to film 22 hours a day and feeds him once a week
As someone who's been watching Kevin for a couple years now...seeing the lad on Trending multiple times just absolutely astounds me. Congrats on the continued success, you absolute unit.
You think that fairy is rare, at the end of the video he has an owl statue just to the left of his house. Thats a 0.5% chance spawn and I dont think he even noticed it.
After some thought, I've decided to try a modified version of this challenge. I'm allowed to leave the farm once per season, but for an added challenge I'm not allowed to use the shipping box - all money needs to be earned by selling to shops or completing quests during my one day of freedom per season. The main aim is to complete the community centre by the end of year 2, which I've calculated is possible with strategic use of those 8 days of freedom. I'll be playing on the beach farm (for the foraging, ocean fish and supply crates), with enemies spawning at night so I can get mixed seeds from wilderness golems and get the loot needed for the adventurer's bundle without eating into my time off the farm. The secondary aim is to get 4 candles in grandpa's evaluation, which I think is only going to be possible if I pull off completing the community centre and can also reach the bottom of the mines (with staircases, because I doubt I'll have time for any other method!).
@@frogandtoady Robinson of Crusoe farm got to the feast of the winter star in year 1 and it was going pretty well, but I then got distracted by a different challenge (and a bit bored of fishing all the time) and haven't gone back to this one yet
@@DeathnoteBB I also find that my favourite part of difficult challenges is planning my strategy. Once I'm well into a playthrough and I've got through the difficult parts I often switch to a shiny new idea so I can have the fun of planning strategy again instead of executing it. I do intend to go back to this challenge sometime because I do enjoy placing how to spend the precious days of freedom, but it hasn't quite happened yet!
Kevin heads up. If you want to make the donation for the crystalarium then you'll have to unlock the vault all in one day. Be prepared to complete at least 5 small bundles (not the full room just the bundles)
If you do complete year two, in the winter, plowing in the dirt gives you snow yams. So if you're short on trees, you can just hoe the dirt incessantly and find snow yams.
This was fun to watch! Even though it hurt every fiber of my being to watch the gameplay, I'm excited to see how year two goes. Also, I wonder if selling your soul to Joja would make a hermit type run work better. I've not done one yet, but I'm under the impression you buy the things you would normally get via the CC bundles.
I feel like Hermit is the kind of person who goes around town at night looking for something valuable in trash cans. Please add that to the list of things you can do, Kevo.
I've noticed you've been clicking while cutting the trees. As far as I know, you can hold your mouse button to do the same job. Unless you enjoy the clicking, in which case - keep on making you happy, Kevin.
Assuming you plan on doing another year, you could get the upgrade right at the end of the year, and then go on the second day of the next year. It would technically fulfill your once a year requirement, and doesn't really extend the period which you have to stay on the farm more than a couple of days. It's not an ideal solution, but it's the best one I can think of.
Kevin: Realizes his inventory would fill up with Geode goodies Also Kevin: Knows he can sell to Piere Also Kevin: Doesn’t realize you can sell ores and treasures directly to Clint
The editing on Kevin’s shopping list was honestly really good! So satisfying to watch him tick off stuff and hurt extra hard when he couldn’t get the duplicator. Good job on that!
Kevin, you wholesome Irish lad that we all adore…it physically pained me to see you walk past all the forge items on your first day in town, as well as not sell the petrified slimes to Clint. To be fair I’ve forgotten before that you could even sell the stuff you get from geodes to Clint, but ignoring the forge was still painful. We live and we learn, I guess. Still absolutely love this series though, keep up the good work and try not to go completely insane.
what does that even mean? half an hour lasts half an hour, there is no quick or slow half hours, they all last half an hour, that's why they're called like that
when I play stardew valley, the winter is my most profitable season(farming vise) because you can have foraging on a high enough lvl to make winter seeds out of the foraged goods, which turns in a lot of mones
I’d love to see year 2! Just some useful tips, in the settings you can turn on a hit box to see where your tools are gonna land when you click, and when chopping wood just hold down you don’t need to click each time
kevin should start a new world where he dates everyone in the town, that seems up his alley and loves to see his reaction with everyone ganging up on him
Normally when I play this game I buy as many season-long crops as possible and go from there. I'll get the corns and the grapes and the hoppes and hoard the produce for one big sell-off at the end of the month. Get some wealth, invest in sprinklers, then get social in town and traverse the mines. Seeing someone do an entire year at a time on just the farm is an interesting new perspective. Thank you for being so wholesome yet so absurd in your videos Kevin. It really brightens up my day.
Aahsajjas when he kept mentioning the duplicator from the community centre yet he hadn't unlocked it. Pain. Also when he donated the geode stuff instead of selling them to Clint :0 And cutting more of the weeds would have been a good idea, perhaps, for the mixed seeds. But I'm enjoying this! Totally did not expect a second part so this is pog :))
Really love this video! Actually my first time actually looking at this game and totally convinced me to try playing it myself. I've played so much I almost got through the first year in 4 days.
Yasss!!! More Hermit! I love this! xD He's so relatable, with all the not going out of his property, not contacting anyone, sleeping for several days in a row, working hard and feeling like the amount of money I earn does not reflect the amount of effort I put into my projects...
This and minecraft One Chunk are amazing! I love these challenges and I'm so happy Kevin followed up his last stardew valley vid. I didn't expect him to carry it on and I'm so happy he did, this is amazing
It would be funny to see you try to woo someone. Just once a year the hermit comes out to flirt with them, then disappears haha. Loved your video thought made me want to play Stardew valley again
kevin tree saplings need at least one empty space in every single direction (8 spaces around it), otherwise some of them (if they're next to each other like yours were) won't grow into big trees!
They only need one empty space in either direction from the saplings? Shit, I've been spacing them out a ton because i thought it was eight in every direction 😭😭
Your last stardew video inspired me and I tried it on my own savefile. I did a variant though where once summer hit, I let my character "discover" the forest south of the farm and then slowly unlock the rest of the map over time. I think I had them unlock the town and beach in fall and then the mountains in the winter. It's crazy how much it changed my game. I ended up by happenstance romancing Shane because he was the first and really only romanceable npc (besides Leah who I didnt run into often) I met before discovering the town
Ah, so much fun seeing someone go crazy :) Looks fun. Maybe i´ll try a light version. A character with social anxiety, only leaving the farm once per week, and only allowed to speak to two or three people when out. That way maybe one can actually get through the game.
@@1DcoolJ That would destroy the challenge once a season is to powerful, and doesn't lead to interesting stardew valley gameplay. If it was once a season it would basically be normal gameplay.
I absolutely want to see year two. Now you’ve got your trip to town in year two should be interesting and more lucrative! You unlocked the sprinkler recipe so working towards that will help with your farming! Thanks for all you do Kevin! Your humor has helped me a ton in a very hard dark time.
I have lowkey thought about doing this: Not leaving the farm, only interacting with people who come to drop stuff off or kind like tutorial missions, using the foragables and just seeing where the game takes me
I feel like Kevin keeps isolating himself to certain areas in games lately. I think he has snapped with covid isolation and embraced it in his most recent games like minecraft and stardew. I'm beginning to think this is an SOS.
Absolutely loved the high effort "Low Effort Montage" from 14:00 to 15:00 xD Keep up the great work Kevin and editor! (Or just Kevin? IDK if you still edit your own content or not. Either way, fantastic work as always)
Mushroom Cave can be gathered from every day. don't forget to gather forageables when in town. Itll help you make wild seeds to grow other forageables. sorry you can probably get this from the wiki, idk why i'm typing this now. Goodluck if you do a season 2. I found your trials entertaining and voice nice to listen too. aww the irish so soothing.

@@hannahthetford5952 That’s my personal problem with challenges. Very fun until the reality sets in and you get bored
@@DeathnoteBB I also find that my favourite part of difficult challenges is planning my strategy. Once I'm well into a playthrough and I've got through the difficult parts I often switch to a shiny new idea so I can have the fun of planning strategy again instead of executing it.
I do intend to go back to this challenge sometime because I do enjoy placing how to spend the precious days of freedom, but it hasn't quite happened yet!
Kevin heads up. If you want to make the donation for the crystalarium then you'll have to unlock the vault all in one day. Be prepared to complete at least 5 small bundles (not the full room just the bundles)
Omg these damn hex bots
You should clear out all the regular grass so that there is more space for items and foreging things to spawn
But if he needs the grass for hay or something he'll need to wait for it to grow back. Getting a decent patch naturally takes like, a month.
@@PointsofData yea but he never leaves so what's the point in getting hay, he didn't mention a barn in his checklist from what I remember 😔
If you do complete year two, in the winter, plowing in the dirt gives you snow yams. So if you're short on trees, you can just hoe the dirt incessantly and find snow yams.
Never thought I'd see someone else using Secunda as their pic.
@@The_Azure_ ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) I was fooled. Google told me this was Mars. I was tricked into becoming a gamer.
@@The_Azure_ Now I can properly be a martian.
I love your older Stardew series, but the idea of only leaving the farm once a year brings so much chaos that I can't stop watching!
This was fun to watch! Even though it hurt every fiber of my being to watch the gameplay, I'm excited to see how year two goes.
Also, I wonder if selling your soul to Joja would make a hermit type run work better. I've not done one yet, but I'm under the impression you buy the things you would normally get via the CC bundles.
Apparently Joja just has money bundles, like the vault.
I feel like Hermit is the kind of person who goes around town at night looking for something valuable in trash cans. Please add that to the list of things you can do, Kevo.
So, Linus?
@@elizabethb4168 Yep, Linus
I love how he says he wants a VAULT bundle reward, but in order to unlock them you need to complete 4 other bundles.
Good point xD
Poor Kevin I hope he reads this
the traveling cart often sells items that help complete the bundles
@@dinolandra but those items rotate. The chance he can get it all is slim.
I've noticed you've been clicking while cutting the trees. As far as I know, you can hold your mouse button to do the same job. Unless you enjoy the clicking, in which case - keep on making you happy, Kevin.
That's exactly what I was thinking... but honestly after thousands of trees cut down, he should have figured it out
If you time it right, clicking/pressing a button on a controller rather than holding makes it goes faster.
Its morris code calling for help
@@rodsk8dude731 Ah, thanks for that tip!
@@rodsk8dude731 On PC you can hold down the mouse and press the action key C to make it go faster too
Assuming you plan on doing another year, you could get the upgrade right at the end of the year, and then go on the second day of the next year. It would technically fulfill your once a year requirement, and doesn't really extend the period which you have to stay on the farm more than a couple of days. It's not an ideal solution, but it's the best one I can think of.
"One tree give's you loads of stone but obviously one stone give's you one stone" I think the Madness set in before the island
Alternate Title:
"Living like Linus in Stardew Valley."
Kevin: Realizes his inventory would fill up with Geode goodies
Also Kevin: Knows he can sell to Piere
Also Kevin: Doesn’t realize you can sell ores and treasures directly to Clint
Granted I have literally 100+ hours in this game spread on different consoles and i didn't know that
I just started and i didnt know this thank you!!
you can??
Wouldn't that involve leaving the farm?
Edit: nvm I'm dumb
Literally came here to say this.
I was completely expecting a year long video of Kevin playing nonstop. Completely expected of Kevin as well.

Clint: too lazy to mine ores?
Hermit: no I have social anxiety…
Clint: bish who you gonna socialize with, the rocks? 😂😂
Kevin is the best RUclipsr to watch post surgery. I’m not even in pain anymore.
Just heard Kevin say "hey there friends how's it going" and I know the video is going to be great as always love your work Kevin
Hell yeah Jim
@Тоmmуlnnit🅥 not human, actually
Begone, Bot!
BUT WHATS HIS NAAAAAAAME!?!
@@DSwart03 It’s Kevin
The editing on Kevin’s shopping list was honestly really good! So satisfying to watch him tick off stuff and hurt extra hard when he couldn’t get the duplicator. Good job on that!
I love that this way of playing Stardew is absolutely not how the game was intended to be played, but it's still so much fun to watch
Every type of challenge run is "not how it was meant to be played". That's why they're fun!
Kevin, you wholesome Irish lad that we all adore…it physically pained me to see you walk past all the forge items on your first day in town, as well as not sell the petrified slimes to Clint. To be fair I’ve forgotten before that you could even sell the stuff you get from geodes to Clint, but ignoring the forge was still painful.
We live and we learn, I guess.
Still absolutely love this series though, keep up the good work and try not to go completely insane.
Even with all the mistakes he still got a million in year 5 so those didn't end up mattering🤔
a seed maker would be incredibly useful in this type of playthrough but you cant craft it until farming level 9
That was the quickest half an hour of my life. Love these! 😁
what does that even mean? half an hour lasts half an hour, there is no quick or slow half hours, they all last half an hour, that's why they're called like that
@@San-lh8us it means that the half an hour felt like it went by quick even though it didn’t it felt like it did
@@San-lh8us "time flies when you're having fun"
@@davecad i love your content, i see you have quite a good taste in youtubers
Damn! I didnt realize it was half an hour
when I play stardew valley, the winter is my most profitable season(farming vise) because you can have foraging on a high enough lvl to make winter seeds out of the foraged goods, which turns in a lot of mones
I think you can use a hoe in snow to get yams or something. They're decently valuable and you could probably get quite a few in a day.
I’d love to see year 2! Just some useful tips, in the settings you can turn on a hit box to see where your tools are gonna land when you click, and when chopping wood just hold down you don’t need to click each time
I hope you continue this series!! I really liked it
His lack of cutting the weeds for mixed seeds is triggering me.
Right? He even heard people say "Cut the weeds for seeds" and he went straight for the grass.
Same
Also, if he would keep all the grass cut down, maybe more treasure nodes or other debris would pop up. Keeping the grass there is counterproductive.
@@fugithegreat not everyone is good at every video games. You don't have to min/max every playthrough
I hunted the comments for someone else who said it and holy fuck you said it
16:28 "With each tree, you get loads of stone"
Ahh yes, gotta love the stone trees
I'm noticing a theme in your videos, Kevin. One chunk Minecraft, Hermit in Stardew Valley. Are you okay? Do you need a break from society?

kevin should start a new world where he dates everyone in the town, that seems up his alley and loves to see his reaction with everyone ganging up on him
Normally when I play this game I buy as many season-long crops as possible and go from there. I'll get the corns and the grapes and the hoppes and hoard the produce for one big sell-off at the end of the month. Get some wealth, invest in sprinklers, then get social in town and traverse the mines.
Seeing someone do an entire year at a time on just the farm is an interesting new perspective. Thank you for being so wholesome yet so absurd in your videos Kevin. It really brightens up my day.
I love Kevin's stardew playthrough from a couple years ago! it got me into stardew
Aahsajjas when he kept mentioning the duplicator from the community centre yet he hadn't unlocked it. Pain.
Also when he donated the geode stuff instead of selling them to Clint :0
And cutting more of the weeds would have been a good idea, perhaps, for the mixed seeds.
But I'm enjoying this! Totally did not expect a second part so this is pog :))
Other ways to make money other than chopping wood: farming for clay (3 seasons) and snow yams in winter. Just hoe the ground looking for them
Really love this video! Actually my first time actually looking at this game and totally convinced me to try playing it myself. I've played so much I almost got through the first year in 4 days.
Wild horseradish for spring. Spice berry for summer. Winter root for winter.
You should try to get coffee beans, the crop is the seed, they last through more than one season and you get multiple harvests.
Yasss!!! More Hermit! I love this! xD He's so relatable, with all the not going out of his property, not contacting anyone, sleeping for several days in a row, working hard and feeling like the amount of money I earn does not reflect the amount of effort I put into my projects...
This and minecraft One Chunk are amazing! I love these challenges and I'm so happy Kevin followed up his last stardew valley vid. I didn't expect him to carry it on and I'm so happy he did, this is amazing
It would be funny to see you try to woo someone. Just once a year the hermit comes out to flirt with them, then disappears haha. Loved your video thought made me want to play Stardew valley again
Remember when Kevin thought you could just waltz into town and buy a machine that let you duplicate anything
I'm so excited for another episode of this. Last episode was really fun and I am so happy that you're not done with it yet
kevin tree saplings need at least one empty space in every single direction (8 spaces around it), otherwise some of them (if they're next to each other like yours were) won't grow into big trees!
They only need one empty space in either direction from the saplings? Shit, I've been spacing them out a ton because i thought it was eight in every direction 😭😭
@@sandpitturtle3577 same omg i feel dumb now
It's minecraft all over again
Your last stardew video inspired me and I tried it on my own savefile. I did a variant though where once summer hit, I let my character "discover" the forest south of the farm and then slowly unlock the rest of the map over time. I think I had them unlock the town and beach in fall and then the mountains in the winter. It's crazy how much it changed my game. I ended up by happenstance romancing Shane because he was the first and really only romanceable npc (besides Leah who I didnt run into often) I met before discovering the town

Ah, so much fun seeing someone go crazy :) Looks fun. Maybe i´ll try a light version. A character with social anxiety, only leaving the farm once per week, and only allowed to speak to two or three people when out. That way maybe one can actually get through the game.
25:14 my absolute favorite part. I crack up every time.
Kevin, you should let Hermit leave once a season. He deserves it.
No.
Yes
@@1DcoolJ That would destroy the challenge once a season is to powerful, and doesn't lead to interesting stardew valley gameplay. If it was once a season it would basically be normal gameplay.
I would LOVE to see year 2. This was incredibly entertaining and I was honestly on the edge of my seat during the town segment.
I'm so excited to see more of this Stardew Valley file! I didn't think we'd see another part, but here we are! Thanks Kevin :)
Kevin: Nothing is scarier than my actual life.
Me: Same.
Kev HUGE opportunity missed to use an old school RuneScape soundtrack for woodcutting. It’s all license free available for anyone to use on any video
I absolutely want to see year two. Now you’ve got your trip to town in year two should be interesting and more lucrative! You unlocked the sprinkler recipe so working towards that will help with your farming! Thanks for all you do Kevin! Your humor has helped me a ton in a very hard dark time.
I'd like to see him try to speedrun dating everyone in town at once
I genuinely loved watching this video. Year 2 would be great!
I have lowkey thought about doing this: Not leaving the farm, only interacting with people who come to drop stuff off or kind like tutorial missions, using the foragables and just seeing where the game takes me
Please continue with these weird challenge videos! I love how cursed they are and it's fun to see someone playing the game in an unusual way!
I feel like Kevin keeps isolating himself to certain areas in games lately. I think he has snapped with covid isolation and embraced it in his most recent games like minecraft and stardew. I'm beginning to think this is an SOS.
Avoiding people doesn't necessarily make you crazy. Some of us do it because we prefer it.
@@1umbreon4life I am one such person
Absolutely loved the high effort "Low Effort Montage" from 14:00 to 15:00 xD
Keep up the great work Kevin and editor! (Or just Kevin? IDK if you still edit your own content or not. Either way, fantastic work as always)
Introducing “Hermit”! Also known as “the reason Pelican town has a severe issue with deforestation”
Hey now, he's sustainable, he reforests more than he deforests, there are more trees growing now than ever.
Mushroom Cave can be gathered from every day. don't forget to gather forageables when in town. Itll help you make wild seeds to grow other forageables. sorry you can probably get this from the wiki, idk why i'm typing this now. Goodluck if you do a season 2. I found your trials entertaining and voice nice to listen too. aww the irish so soothing.
Please do a year 2! High key watched this video twice
