What's Rune Factory's dungeon system like in comparison to say Recettear? I'm considering buying it or Story of Seasons when that comes out in the EU, but the idea of combat in a HM game is something I'm pretty antsy about since I remember Recettear being a great game that was brought down by having to deal with stupid dungeon crawling and crafting instead of actally running a shop, which is the reason I bought it to begin with.

Okay, from the responses in the thread and a bit of Youtubing I'm probably going to dodge RF. If the Dungeon Crawling is that integral then I'd rather buy a game that's a dedicated crawler separate to a game about farming.

Okay, if it's half off I might dive in on it. I finished Fire Emblem and need my fix of DS games on a commute.

I just got Story of Season and now I'm Harvesting all the loving Moons, I'm loving how chilled out the pace is at the beginning of the game instead of the goddamn frantic pace of the SNES version and Wonderful Life early on. (Where building a capital base early is super important) Are there any hilarious rookie traps I need to look out for? I'm already saving iron for a pitchfork and trying to fish up bricks for the seed maker. I elected against saving 5 milk for the immediate horse since Milk was in demand for my entire second week but I'm going for that now. Secondly, I'm sitting at a rough capital base of about 5k after the first week, is it worth spending that on fertiliser when I can't make new seeds yet or is it the same as basically every Harvest Moon wherein fertiliser is completely useless until you can make seeds?

dijon du jour posted:Yup. Oh poo poo you need to ship fodder? I've got like 200 sat in my storage because I planted 3 grass fields on my first day. I've got the turnips saved so that shouldn't be an issue. I've read that watering plants twice makes them grow faster, but I've no idea of whether what I'm doing is working since they appear wet at 6 in the evening even after I watered them at 7 in the morning. How do conquests work? Why should I be saving my harvests for them given I need to make cash on them for my seedmaker? (I guess my real question is should I prioritise seedmaker above saving things until I get it, or save things prior to seedmaker?) Finally, I have 4 peach trees which I planted (hopefully) in time for them to bloom in Summer, should I be dumping fertiliser on them? Oh and should I water them because they don't seem to react to it? Too many questions! Natural 20 fucked around with this message at 19:34 on Jan 12, 2016 |

Goddamn, I managed to sell all my disposable ore and get 40k by Spring 15. Bought my seedmaker, had all my bricks and turnip seeds. And then I realised that I needed 15 lumber and didn't have any. My face.

Okay so in SoS, once I've grown tomatoes do I need to keep watering them to keep them producing fruit for the rest of the season? Also how many milk treats does it take for a cow to actually start producing more milk? I've dumped like 25 into Hanako with no results.

Blhue posted:Yes you do, aside from trees, reharvestables need to be watered even past maturity. Secondary question then, is there any advantage to watering the tomatoes twice a day after they've started producing fruit? I ask because I've pretty badly overstretched myself in summer 1. I have something like 15 tomatoes growing alongside 5 trees, a patch of soya beans for competition purposes (they take ages to grow and grow all season meaning I can fertilise them a tonne for high crop value) and 18 onions. I basically work myself to complete exhaustion by collecting milk and watering them all once.

So fun fact, in SoS if you engage in multiple "Ship tonnes of product" challenges at once, the game resets the your contribution to the challenge every time one finishes. So, I engaged in two challenges on Summer 16, one which ended on Summer 19 and the other on Summer 21. I shipped 20k worth of product on Summer 18, winning the Summer 19 challenge. Thinking I was completely set, I didn't ship anything on Summer 20 and then got told that I'd shipped 0 product on Summer 21 and had embarrassingly lost the challenge.  Ah well, I was just going to let the fields lie fallow until I started getting stamina regeneration working.

Shinjobi posted:In my first year of Story of Seasons. Have yet to claim more land than the tutorial root vegetable plot, got a seed maker, unlocked Cabin country. What should be my next focus? The cheese maker blueprint looks expensive, and I don't even know where to get gold, currently. Okay, I'm really not much farther than you. But you need to get 30 fish from hatcheries to get the oyster on sale that can drop a blue pearl. The blue pearl is needed for the accessory combo that gives you 5 stamina regen every 10 minutes which is probably the highest priority in the game since it removes the major limiting factor on the poo poo you can do each day. In terms of hatcheries, fish up an Octopus or a Squid and put them in the hatchery since they sell for 500 at base quality. Also, from what I've read, after a hatchery gets full, you can empty it up to 3 times until it breaks, at which point it kills all the fish still inside. So hatchery strategy is Dump Octopus in, feed every day, empty when full, leaving one Octopus still there, empty when full, leaving one Octopus still there and then on the third emptying, empty all the Octopii, let the hatchery break and set up a new one to repeat. And as you get better at fishing the fish become better to sell raw than they are to cook since they're worth 200g+ which is more than grilled fish is worth.

Okay so I'm trying to win the Autumn fashion festival (with the flower field on the line) and I have a purple striped coat which I'm told should win it handily. But apparently that's not the case for me. Anyone have any advice?

It looks like you're using the Purple-Checked Jacket? That's the one, but I tanked the loss which was frustrating because it's going to ruin my bee productivity next year.

Sage Grimm posted:I guess plant more flowers on your own farmland to make up for the lack? It's only 8 spaces. And if this is your first year you might find that you'll have more space than you know what to do with soon enough. I don't have access to the ones I need yet, I assume you get it when you gain access to the flower field.

Well I guess I can stop getting angry about flower fields now. But goddamn I hate that like 120 day lease on the tree field, I have like 3.5* peach seeds, I want to be able to plant them where they'll be most profitable!

Yeah, the soybean thing is really useful because if you water them twice a day they tend to finish growing by end of season, meaning you always keep ahead of the festival curve. Also, you really really want to be going hard for shipping $1 million by mid autumn. That unlocks cabin country which is the gate for the accessory combo that gives unlimited stamina.

I mean I'd play Stardew if it was on DS or something because my tube ride into work is just lost time otherwise. But if I'm at home I have so many better (worse) games to play and so much other stuff to do. (That I'm sadly addicted to)

It scares me that I've sunk like 70 hours into Story of Seasons and still haven't hit Summer 2. It's okay because every day is so goddamn packed, but I do worry that I'll never actually see any of the cool stuff that shows in year 4.
