Show off your farms!

[nodehappy]

It's been a hot minute since the last time we had a farm showcase. Whether you play vanilla or use mods. Take this opportunity to show everybody what you have been working on.

Technically this is only half the farm, but I haven't really done anything with the other half, so...

Your farm is sleek, how long did you spend on this version of your farm? When building, what was your main focus?

On the island, sure, but I put in a lot of time and dedication setting up a farm on the island that's pretty much nothing but Ancient Fruit, with enough sprinklers to keep them all watered every morning.

That screenshot is taken on Y3F27, think the amount of time on that specific save is around 120 hours. Not all of that was spent on just the farm obviously, but it did take me probably the better part of the first game year to clear out that half of the farm. There's another half across the bridge that I haven't even finished clearing yet. The only thing I did was add a slime hutch over there for no real particular reason other than it's late game, I have like 15m in the bank, and literally nothing to spend it on.

There was no real plan when I started. Generally every time I play my farm just sort of evolves organically based on my whims at the time. That's why the four obelisks are in such weird places -- I really only built them for the perfection goal. The only real plans I tend to set out with are to (eventually) have a mix of farming and ranching, and to keep the farming plots in easy multiples to buy seeds for. Each row has 108 seed tiles. I also mod out the need for sprinklers and scarecrows because they both annoy me and ruin the aesthetic.

Some of the credit has to go to FlashShifter who not only created this map (Frontier Farm for Stardew Valley Expanded) but added the fences around the animal areas to the right of the fish pond with some kind of invisible barrier that keeps the animals from wandering out via the gaps. The ones to the left were added by me. I obviously have a number of mods installed to help me manage such a large area on my own. Since I'm playing solo I consider any mods that improve the experience for me to be fair game.

Are you the person I'm thinking of who covered the entire standard vanilla map in ancient fruit plants?

Hey everyone! You all have such beautiful farms! I haven't been playing for very long, I played the pirate version of the game before, but even since then, I don't know how to make beautiful farms

Maybe when I get closer to Perfection, then my farm will look like something more or less normal)
Nothing is finished yet, so that`s it

I have only just unlocked the quest to repair that bridge, and one item needed i have no idea how to get ! Looking forward to doing that ..... no spoilers please, I dont ever want help or spoilers, just making a comment.

Nice farm though, I have to ask, were you disappointed with the winerey building? I was massively disappointed and it will not be used, I dont need to cask stuff at all, it was so expensive and I felt ripped off lol

You're in luck then, because I don't even remember what the items were.

Honestly, I felt more ripped off by the fact that initially it says you can only have one of the SVE specific barn and coop upgrades, but then, I think it's after you repair that bridge, you can have essentially an infinite number. So, if I hadn't basically stopped playing, I'd have to first build a new special barn, move all the animals from one of the other barns into there, then demolish the vanilla barn. Not worried about the wasted money that went into the vanilla barn, just the PITA of the logistics.

This is my latest farm, with perfectio achieved. I am using a modified version of the Meadowlands farm map here since there were some things I didn't quite like with the original (like the placement of the cave, for example). It has been my longest playthrough so far ^.^

Well, I don't tend to use mods (for all those cool visuals), and I tend to prefer a more "rustic" look to my farms, but that said, here's an Artist's rendition of my most recent Beach Farm:

Is their name by any chance AI? :P

But on a more serious note, I try to adjust my mod list according to the theme for my farm. For my first 1.6 playthrough I wanted something earthy. In the past there have been other more unique themes, like my Bubble Gum farm:

Or the dreamscape farm:

That's what I like about mods, they let you customize your farms in ways vanilla experience can't. Though, I do appreciate vanilla as well! It's fun seeing how everyone designs their farms. Rustic and simple can be very beautiful as well!

Well, I'm not sure what you mean, but I'll pass on your interest to "Alfred Iger" the artist if you'd like a portrait done.

Grew a bunch of crops on the island farm in the formation of a white chicken.
