Oh, I also read that the developer who created SDV Expanded mod, FlashShifter, assisted Concerned Ape with this update and the SDV Expanded Mod is 1.6 compatible. I will mess with that later. I definitely want to experience the vanilla 1.6 first. I think it is soooo cool that he worked with one (or more?) mod creators. I think you will see the influence in a few places as you play through. I know I did.
It is something that Is refreshing to see. I think more devs would be willing but publishers get in the way. All the legal issues that might arise and what not. So when it does happen this way I'm always glad to see it. @@CEOofTired
@@HillHomeGaming One of the major benefits to being a lone Dev, I reckon. You miss out on a lot of the resources you'd have with the backing of a major studio publisher, but the payoff is retaining full creative control.
Yay, new playthrough! I've been playing on the new farm too these past few days. I also remember seeing those MASSIVE new trees for the first time to the south. It's so fun to see the new stuff come up.
Awh I’m so happy you’re making a new playthrough! I’ve been bingewatching your 1.5 series the last couple of weeks and am ready to play along with your new playthrough ❤ your voice is so calming while playing, really enjoyable!
Oo I should add also I have been avoiding spoilers as well so basically I don't know anything about the update. I wasn't even sure there would be a new farm haha
@HillHomeGaming this is what i like though! The joy of discovering new things while playing vs already knowing whats new and intentionally seeking it out! 😊
Yeah I figure I'll do things that way until the Island is unlocked anyway and then maybe check a few things if I have heard about them but don't know how to start to unlock/find them. The joy of discovery is the fun part for me really. @@HorseLover3061
glad I subscribed to your earlier series. I like your gamplay, comments and voice. If I remember, a while ago on your old game, you had some great magical luck. I too, am currently playing this. I will eagerly follow this series you have begun, and see what we discover together.
I am looking forward to all the new things! It also occurs to me I need a mayo machine as soon as I can get one - easy source of energy restoration right there now that we can "drink" it haha
Love you Hill. Hello from Idaho. My wife and I love watching your Stardew stuff. It's fun to chill and watch your videos. I always end up getting nostalgic though and playing myself. :) lol
Awesome, thank you! Sorry if also playing takes up too much free time (I am that way with games like XCOM and Battle Brothers - when I watch a series I just want to go play those games)
I didn't start with the new farm. Had a 2 week old farm that I started before the update came out. Wanted to be able to play the update on my SteamDeck and get used to the controls. Doing the forest farm and absolutely loving the update!! So glad you're doing a new playthrough 😊
@@HillHomeGaming yeah! Only got to day 6 but currently running experiments to see if the bluegrass actually expands or not. Lol. Can't wait to play again this evening and figure out what the book seller is that on the 11th!!
Aww thanks so much! I will say trying to finish up the last 2 year (in game) challenge series and this one going will mean a bit of extra work the next couple weeks - worth it though!
glad to see you jumping into the new farm type! i also had that same reaction about the hay versus parsnip seeds lol my chickens were named ollie and eggie
I'm just so used to the seeds! Would amuse me if each farm had a different bonus now. Hardwood on the forest farm? Coal on the hilltop farm? I dunno could be interesting. You'd be down on some seeds I guess but it would add a bit more "flavor" to the farms. Of course at least the hay is useful right away basically so there's that.
Yeah, I floundered a bit at the beginning because I was like "okay, what do i do without seeds?" even though I know I can go buy some lol The price change on the seeds was nice though!!
Been playing the new update and wanted a playthrough to watch. I thought, hey I wonder if Hill Home is doing one! I search you up and see this:D you're one of the first stardew creators I ever watched
I was curious to see if there would be a new Hill Home playthrough once 1.6 dropped, turns out there is! I'm on part 128 of your 1.5 game so it's awesome to be at the start of a brand new journey. Looking forward to the series and what you'll do with the new farm!
I loved your 100% playthrough and i missed the sound of you voice, so i had to back and watch you play stardew again! I love it, cant get enough of your game play, keep it up ❤❤
Hey Hillhome. I am excited for this playthrough! I think I started to play SDV this time around.... however I started watching the Rustic Ridgefarm series (1.5 update). I'm excited to watch you discover the new stuff in this update.
Good morning! Great video as always, Hill! Looking forward to your reactions to all the new 1.6 stuff. I've already seen a lot myself and I think you'll really enjoy the new stuff
There's a couple things in the Mixed seeds run too that I'm like what is THAT!? -> I'll wait til 1.6 run for it. But the waiting is going to be rough on me. I'm not planning to do a 1.6 run outside of the videos so that way all the reactions will be my first reactions (if that makes sense).
I'm very glad You picked up 1.6 on new save and with newly added farm type too! I very much enjoy playing along (with Your episodes playing on second monitor), cheers! I absolutely agree that Forest farm is the best one and couldn't resist the temptation to pick it again...
That warp totem issue DID happen to me earlier today! I dug a farm warp up on the beach and thought it was fortuitous because I had forgotten to water my crops. Figured using the warp would save me valuable time. But I'm using the Immersive Farm that comes with SVE and hadn't thought about the fact that my farm is still VERY overgrown. Oh, and it turns out I'd given Clint my axe to upgrade. So suddenly I'm trapped between the warp and a bunch of wood. My only recourse would've been to reset the day and I wasn't about to do that. Having to just sit there and wait for the hours to tick by was...something. The days in Stardew Valley have never been slower...
oh no! But that is hilarious. Did you see the post about the person who had a meteorite fall down and trap them on the farm basically? It was a recent post on Reddit. That was also highly amusing.
Potpourri is a great name. That's a fun one. Someone said they had Salt and Pepper - which would have been even more amusing if that was a super rare spawn of a normal chicken and a void chicken.
Watching this for fun while I have no access to Stardew Valley (sad) so I live vicariously through let's plays. I like that you're not one of the hardcore players, that you don't know everything, and you aren't looking to exploit things for maximum profit early game. (Clay farming, which is no longer possible unless you enable the classic mode in the options, is a cheat, IMO, so I'm glad to see you not doing that.) You mention in this video warping back and being unable to escape and passing out.... Yeah. Happened to me on this farm once because I didn't have the right tools to escape once when I warped back from an early expedition to the mines. (Once I have the first pack upgrade, I carry all my tools with me wherever I go, but before that, I only take my pickaxe to the mines, only take my fishing rod when I go fishing, etc.) So, not realizing that I'd be stuck when I warped back, I did that, and yeah, passed out. Fortunately, it was my first time passing out, so I got it for free rather than 10% of my money (up to 1000 g maximum.)
I will say it would have been legit hilarious if I had warped back and then passed out. I mean I'd have seriously laughed about that for a long time! But there are definitely other things in the series that are just as amusing but I won't spoil them - you'll know them when you find them haha. Thanks for watching and hopefully you can get back to playing soon!
@@HillHomeGaming I would assume based on both of our sets of chickens having matching names 😂 but the study group is very small so maybe my assumption is wrong hahaha
I’m playing the new farm. I play quite a few modded farms and part of why I mod. I like the challenge each provides. My most recent was a smaller farm. I could only fit 2 ponds on it with everything else I had on it. This one is definitely bigger than that one. Can’t wait. :)
Indeed. For Mixed Seeds if I had found the branch on Steam I'd have just swapped the game back and forth between versions depending what I was recording. But I couldn't find that option! I know it's there and still didn't see it lol @@ElladanKenet
The comments will be my random thoughts throughout this first vid. The chicken names must be random. Mine are Ollie and Eggy. (musical notes) "Sweet Caroline, Ba Ba Ba", ... lol, when I went to Pierre's I didn't even look further down past the spring seeds to see what new stuff he has... I like the new notification that you leveled up a skill.... I do love the forest farm, and am definitely doing this Meadowlands farm and the remixed bundles just because it is 100% new... I discovered some new items that you can get in fishing chests, it provided a very cool assist. I found a new type of spot to hoe with a cool new item as a reward--keep your eyes peeled for them. I forgot my chickens the second day--it feels so odd to have animals from day 1.
@HillHomeGaming ok, I will give a hint. it is 3 wiggling things, like 3 blades of grass. I saw them on the beach and in dirt when I was fishing near Leah's. Their movement is similar to the regular artifact spots.
I'm not crazy! I was like these are extra long wormies! Did CA change them all. Nope just the new ones. I did get something cool from my new grass wormies!
Just found your channel. So far I like how you put together this video. NO EDITING!! YAY! Anyway, curious about something. Why do you leave the stumps when you cut a tree? Sorry I'm new to Stardew valley, still learning. THanks!
Well it IS changed now in 1.6 - in previous version the stumps would still drop new seeds for you. I left these for a bit though because it takes quite a bit of energy to remove the final part of the stump but you only get a few wood from it. You also don't get much foraging XP either just from the stump. Wiki: 14 XP for chopping down a tree with an axe (granted all at once for the last chop that causes the tree to fall). 2 XP for removing the tree stump after chopping down a tree. So basically the stump is NOT (in my opinion) worth chopping down on day 1 especially as you want to get enough Foraging XP to hit the first level so you can unlock the ability to get tree seeds for crafting field snacks. It takes 10 hits with the starting axe to fell a tree but it is 5 hits to destroy the stump! So for every 2 stumps you could have chopped another tree. It's just more efficient at the start to ignore the stumps for a bit unless they are directly in your way of course of planting or whatever. Hope that helps :)
I started a new 1.6 save using the forest farm. I've yet to actually complete a full playthrough on ANY farm, and this one is my favorite. So I thought I'd finally force myself to follow through to the end on this one to experience 1.6. But I'm intrigued by Meadowlands encouraging more of a ranching/fishing focused run over crops, so that's going to be my next one, I think.
@@HillHomeGaming I can say that I don't like the beach one - mostly because it makes no sense. But I also don't care for the Standard Farm, if only because I find it boring, lol. I think the Riverlands farm was the first one I played and was my favorite before I tried the Forest one. Primarily for the aesthetics, I think. I like the idea, too, of having a large plot of land with creeks running through it.
@@HillHomeGaming I was playing along side you I remember in the 1.5 series but now I don't play stardew all that much BUT I LOVE watching ur videos 🙌😙👌
Been looking for a chill playthrough to watch on the side and I love your calm nature and how you play the game! I'll admit though, you apparently turning profits down to 50% stresses me out more than I anticipated. Could you explain why you did that?
Just for fun! The most amusing part is that it took only another I think 7 total episodes (so 14 days) longer to 100% this save file than it did to 100% the save file from 1.5 - which, I think you'll admit, isn't really that different! So that was a pretty cool thing to have happen I think. It was a lot of fun actually!
@@HillHomeGaming Thanks for the reply! Wow! money making is what usually stops me from getting perfection sooner, despite all the kegs, so I did not expect that answer! Is it because you had more experience or did the 1.5 file just take super long? :p
@@3rdJan Well the new mastery mechanics and additions in 1.6 sure helped out a bunch. I also built a literal ton of kegs all over the island and in sheds it was kind of crazy. OH and the PARROT!! Do not sleep on the max level parrot trinket that thing is seriously amazing. I wish I had a money tracker just from the parrot so I knew how much I'd made. There were days pretty sure I topped 50k just from the Parrot alone...
@@HillHomeGaming yeah I usually aim to get 3 sheds full of kegs for 411 starfruit wine per week! But the rest I do suboptimally, like I have one of each animal instead of just pigs and such I also hoard things like it's nobody's business, maybe if I sold some of my 350 iridium bars or stack of golden starfruit I would get there sooner lmao And YES OMG the level 5 parrot I found is so OP, sometimes I get 1250 Gold from one enemy!! So glad I found that lil guy, always have him equipped :3 until I'm dying, then I switch to the fairy since she heals me even when I can't eat due to being nauseous from that one asshole ghost in the dangerous mines
@@HillHomeGaming oh also, really enjoying this playthrough, glad I found it, on episode 13 so far! Your point about watching someone else fish while you also fish in stardew being potentially disorienting is indeed true :D
I just finally was able to update on 1.6 a few days ago since I play on my Android tablet and I started on the Meadowland farm too. But the prices at Pierre's were the same as always, mine weren't cut in half like yours were. Anyway, I am really enjoying this farm.
It is in half because I also earn half as much income. I set it to 50% income for this run to see how it would go. I have to say that overall it went awesome! I only took 8 episodes longer to hit perfection than in 1.5 so that's pretty solid I think!
@@Simsane Seriously it was a surprise. I thought it would take way longer!!! I said a few times I might actually prefer 50% income in vanilla because it does just take a bit longer to finish things up.
Hi hill i am playing on the new farm layout and love it. If i could give you a suggestion dont chop all the trees because u will need them for the moss which is hard too find. I found out the hard way after chopping all the trees around the valley and my farm
Yeah how does the moss work? Is it like shake a tree and it appears? Does it grow on the trees somehow? I saw it was added as an item but not sure how that one works.
The axe makes the least sense still to me as it would just... eventually chop down the tree haha. I think maybe a sword would be ok too then for no energy? @@myghostyttv
Hey Hill! I watched your 1.5 playthrough a while back and was just thinking about you so decided to look up if you had a 1.6 playthrough, cant wait to enjoy this journey you are about to go on! (Also a quick note, for some reason your voice makes me think of @goodtimeswithscar (thats a massive compliment comming from me as i love his content) and you have the perfect voiceover voice, good luck!)
Cool, thanks! Also hi again - hope you enjoy the hilarity of the new series. I don't think we've had anything as high level DERP as the sandfish incident yet....
I've been trying hard to avoid any spoilers for myself. There are all sorts of articles, I saw a video from sharkey about some stuff and just the title I was like well that is interesting sound but NO. I will not watch! The siren call of the unknown pulls at me...
Listening to this game in the background, I heard "Harvest an egg...three out of eight people." That's certainly a...thing...to hear. It took my brain a second to contextualize these as the unrelated statements they are. For a moment, this Stardew Valley run went rather dark.
Well the upside of YT at least is that they videos are there for a long, long time so don't feel like you have to rush. Just enjoy when you have time time :)
@@HillHomeGamingbro, the first time it happened. I literally spit-taked and made a damn mess of my drink bc the volume was maxed out (I didn't know it was maxed out), and cried. I cried bc of the mess tho😂, none of the coka cola went onto my laptop shockingly enough💀
That is absolutely awesome! It is not very often that happens. Plus then you can grow ancients seeds all year and they are worth quite a bit of farming XP.
@@HillHomeGaming I was thinking about this again and just took the time to pull up the wiki and do the actual math. It takes 100 points to get to level 1 (across all skills), and a tree (without the stump) is 12 points. Eight trees adds up to 96 points. Each stump is worth 1 point. So I must've either grabbed a forage or two, or hit a few stumps along the way. Eight trees and one forage will definitely do the trick - forage items are worth 7 points each.
@@amypetty5013 Getting level one forage day one is always a goal for me so I can make snacks from tree seeds so the actual number of trees is really good to know.
Same! Foraging is my top priority skill in the first week. And I've gotten to where I nearly always play with SVE's Immersive Farm 2 installed. Between that and the extended woods, trees are something I never have to worry about being short on.

@HillHomeGaming ok, I will give a hint. it is 3 wiggling things, like 3 blades of grass. I saw them on the beach and in dirt when I was fishing near Leah's. Their movement is similar to the regular artifact spots.
Hmm. Ok. My poor eyes will probably miss them though but I'll look.@@Bio-Becky9259
I'm not crazy! I was like these are extra long wormies! Did CA change them all. Nope just the new ones. I did get something cool from my new grass wormies!
Well now I need to find some!@@nancert
Just found your channel. So far I like how you put together this video. NO EDITING!! YAY!
Anyway, curious about something. Why do you leave the stumps when you cut a tree? Sorry I'm new to Stardew valley, still learning. THanks!
Well it IS changed now in 1.6 - in previous version the stumps would still drop new seeds for you. I left these for a bit though because it takes quite a bit of energy to remove the final part of the stump but you only get a few wood from it. You also don't get much foraging XP either just from the stump.
Wiki:
14 XP for chopping down a tree with an axe (granted all at once for the last chop that causes the tree to fall).
2 XP for removing the tree stump after chopping down a tree.
So basically the stump is NOT (in my opinion) worth chopping down on day 1 especially as you want to get enough Foraging XP to hit the first level so you can unlock the ability to get tree seeds for crafting field snacks. It takes 10 hits with the starting axe to fell a tree but it is 5 hits to destroy the stump! So for every 2 stumps you could have chopped another tree. It's just more efficient at the start to ignore the stumps for a bit unless they are directly in your way of course of planting or whatever.
Hope that helps :)
A person who sings at the beginning of a game? I subscribe.
Oh it's not just the beginning it's sort of... randomly... whenever the mood strikes. I can't say it's GOOD singing always 🤣🤣🤣
my english is so bad, but i really like watch ur video. Basically i'm training my english with u
Well that is excellent and I hope it helps!
I started a new 1.6 save using the forest farm. I've yet to actually complete a full playthrough on ANY farm, and this one is my favorite. So I thought I'd finally force myself to follow through to the end on this one to experience 1.6. But I'm intrigued by Meadowlands encouraging more of a ranching/fishing focused run over crops, so that's going to be my next one, I think.
The Forest Farm is probably my favorite one. I can't say that there's any I dislike.
@@HillHomeGaming I can say that I don't like the beach one - mostly because it makes no sense. But I also don't care for the Standard Farm, if only because I find it boring, lol.
I think the Riverlands farm was the first one I played and was my favorite before I tried the Forest one. Primarily for the aesthetics, I think. I like the idea, too, of having a large plot of land with creeks running through it.
Eyyyy a new series ❤️🩹🤩🤩🤩
Yay! Celebrate! Lots of fun changes in 1.6 for sure.
@@HillHomeGaming I was playing along side you I remember in the 1.5 series but now I don't play stardew all that much BUT I LOVE watching ur videos 🙌😙👌
Well thank you that is very kind! If I had more time in life I could do a second game but gosh life is just... busy haha@@_man0_0
Been looking for a chill playthrough to watch on the side and I love your calm nature and how you play the game! I'll admit though, you apparently turning profits down to 50% stresses me out more than I anticipated. Could you explain why you did that?
Just for fun! The most amusing part is that it took only another I think 7 total episodes (so 14 days) longer to 100% this save file than it did to 100% the save file from 1.5 - which, I think you'll admit, isn't really that different! So that was a pretty cool thing to have happen I think. It was a lot of fun actually!
@@HillHomeGaming Thanks for the reply!
Wow! money making is what usually stops me from getting perfection sooner, despite all the kegs, so I did not expect that answer! Is it because you had more experience or did the 1.5 file just take super long? :p
@@3rdJan Well the new mastery mechanics and additions in 1.6 sure helped out a bunch. I also built a literal ton of kegs all over the island and in sheds it was kind of crazy.
OH and the PARROT!! Do not sleep on the max level parrot trinket that thing is seriously amazing. I wish I had a money tracker just from the parrot so I knew how much I'd made. There were days pretty sure I topped 50k just from the Parrot alone...
@@HillHomeGaming yeah I usually aim to get 3 sheds full of kegs for 411 starfruit wine per week! But the rest I do suboptimally, like I have one of each animal instead of just pigs and such
I also hoard things like it's nobody's business, maybe if I sold some of my 350 iridium bars or stack of golden starfruit I would get there sooner lmao
And YES OMG the level 5 parrot I found is so OP, sometimes I get 1250 Gold from one enemy!! So glad I found that lil guy, always have him equipped :3 until I'm dying, then I switch to the fairy since she heals me even when I can't eat due to being nauseous from that one asshole ghost in the dangerous mines
@@HillHomeGaming oh also, really enjoying this playthrough, glad I found it, on episode 13 so far! Your point about watching someone else fish while you also fish in stardew being potentially disorienting is indeed true :D
I just finally was able to update on 1.6 a few days ago since I play on my Android tablet and I started on the Meadowland farm too. But the prices at Pierre's were the same as always, mine weren't cut in half like yours were.
Anyway, I am really enjoying this farm.
It is in half because I also earn half as much income. I set it to 50% income for this run to see how it would go. I have to say that overall it went awesome! I only took 8 episodes longer to hit perfection than in 1.5 so that's pretty solid I think!
@HillHomeGaming sounds like it worked well for you.👍😊
@@Simsane Seriously it was a surprise. I thought it would take way longer!!! I said a few times I might actually prefer 50% income in vanilla because it does just take a bit longer to finish things up.
Hi hill i am playing on the new farm layout and love it. If i could give you a suggestion dont chop all the trees because u will need them for the moss which is hard too find. I found out the hard way after chopping all the trees around the valley and my farm
Yeah how does the moss work? Is it like shake a tree and it appears? Does it grow on the trees somehow? I saw it was added as an item but not sure how that one works.
@@HillHomeGaming it grows on the trees trunks and you use a tool too get it off
Which tool? I shouldn't think the axe...@@myghostyttv
@@HillHomeGaming you can use any tool you want but i use the scythe as to not waste energy
The axe makes the least sense still to me as it would just... eventually chop down the tree haha. I think maybe a sword would be ok too then for no energy? @@myghostyttv
My chickens were named Pumpkin and Skwash (spelled like that!!). I kept the names because they were cute!
That is a really great combo! We need to assemble a list!
Time to binge 👀
Well hello new friend! I hope you enjoy there's a lot to watch haha
1.6 I can't believe it is here can't wait
I was a bit surprised it's so early in the year! I was thinking more June or July. Very exciting!
Oooh so everyone will have different names for their chicks? Mine were named salt and pepper
Nice! They all definitely are pairs of words that go together. I wonder at this point how many there are!
Hey Hill! I watched your 1.5 playthrough a while back and was just thinking about you so decided to look up if you had a 1.6 playthrough, cant wait to enjoy this journey you are about to go on!
(Also a quick note, for some reason your voice makes me think of @goodtimeswithscar (thats a massive compliment comming from me as i love his content) and you have the perfect voiceover voice, good luck!)
Cool, thanks! Also hi again - hope you enjoy the hilarity of the new series. I don't think we've had anything as high level DERP as the sandfish incident yet....
Love reading all the chicken names. Waiting for the update to come out on console
Have you heard any dates on that or an estimated time frame? My Son is very excited for the patch to be on the Switch.
10:52 seed prices are based off of the seed sell price (with the exception of sunflower seeds)
That was a surprise to me! I really didn't expect seed prices to also be lower haha. I mean it makes sense - I just didn't expect it.
1.6 Hype!
Hype and Tiredness. It's seriously the busiest couple weeks of work for me in the entire year right now lol
Im on console so i have to wait for a little bit i can't avoid spoilers anyway, why not let hillhome spoil it for me😂
I've been trying hard to avoid any spoilers for myself. There are all sorts of articles, I saw a video from sharkey about some stuff and just the title I was like well that is interesting sound but NO. I will not watch! The siren call of the unknown pulls at me...
Listening to this game in the background, I heard "Harvest an egg...three out of eight people."
That's certainly a...thing...to hear. It took my brain a second to contextualize these as the unrelated statements they are. For a moment, this Stardew Valley run went rather dark.
That's graveyard keeper levels of dark lol
I just picked this game up on PS5 and I CANNOT catch a fish. What am I missing with this fishing mini game?
Now you mention this I think honestly I only EVER give him frozen tears. HA!
got a lot of catching up to do.
Well the upside of YT at least is that they videos are there for a long, long time so don't feel like you have to rush. Just enjoy when you have time time :)
SPOILER (kind of) ** It's not on the calendar & easy to miss but everyone should go down to the waterfall by the Hat Mouse on Spring 17
I am trying hard to remember that. I should write a note to myself about it....
Yaaaay!
The blue grass is certainly interesting!
I decided to restart this series lol I think I made it to episode 30ish but then life got crazy and now I just wanna catch up lol
Sometimes life getting crazy is good and sometimes it is not - so I hope it wasn't horrible!
Gotta check the trashcans!
Mmm as long as one doesn't explode and give me a lid again. That is always very startling for me.
@@HillHomeGamingbro, the first time it happened. I literally spit-taked and made a damn mess of my drink bc the volume was maxed out (I didn't know it was maxed out), and cried. I cried bc of the mess tho😂, none of the coka cola went onto my laptop shockingly enough💀
Good thing too that is really hard to clean out! I had this happen in one of the older videos and I jumped IRL haha@@CEOofTired
My prices at Pierre’s are different than yours 😮 why is that? I’m playing the Meadowlands farm on 1.6
Because mine is set to 50% income - so all seeds also cost 50% less otherwise you'd never make money. Note: We still make an absolute TON of money.
@ ohh thanks! Sorry I didn’t catch that in the settings :)
Believe it or not my very first wurm i dug up gave me an ancient seed. I was dumb struck. That was the first item i gave to Gunther.
That is absolutely awesome! It is not very often that happens. Plus then you can grow ancients seeds all year and they are worth quite a bit of farming XP.
Anyone else who’s new searching desperately for the mouse then realized there wasn’t one?
*whispers* what mouse
We are so back.
Is it just me misremembering or didn’t Lewis meet you at the station and took you to meet Robin?
Honestly I am not sure
Don't forget. somewhere there is a new forage item. Moss. I myself have not found it, in my new gamplay.
Based on the more or less accidental checking of things in the (now almost over Mixed Seeds Challenge) moss is used for quite a lot of things!
It’s the middle of the night and I needed to calm myself down from a panic attack. I put on this video and I am honestly doing a bit better
Well then I am glad it helped. Panic attacks are no fun I've had a couple.
@@HillHomeGaming thank you! The panic attack was because I couldn’t find my favorite plushie, but I found it in the morning
Trees to get to level 1 = 8. I actually counted one day.
That is without stumps I will assume since stumps give very little XP so most people skip them early (even tho now they don't still drop seeds!)
@@HillHomeGaming I was thinking about this again and just took the time to pull up the wiki and do the actual math. It takes 100 points to get to level 1 (across all skills), and a tree (without the stump) is 12 points. Eight trees adds up to 96 points. Each stump is worth 1 point. So I must've either grabbed a forage or two, or hit a few stumps along the way. Eight trees and one forage will definitely do the trick - forage items are worth 7 points each.
@@amypetty5013 Getting level one forage day one is always a goal for me so I can make snacks from tree seeds so the actual number of trees is really good to know.
Same! Foraging is my top priority skill in the first week. And I've gotten to where I nearly always play with SVE's Immersive Farm 2 installed. Between that and the extended woods, trees are something I never have to worry about being short on.
Your voice sounds like guybrush threepwood
I mean those games are iconic but I wouldn't call my voice iconic lol
Cant spell Rustic with out Crusti
haha it's true though I never thought about it that way before.
Ahh 1.6 content so soon! Lovely 😌 🫱🏻🫲🏼
It is very exciting!!
