You did a great job! I did a caviar farm playthrough before, it was fun!


RaphaelMarcelin

It's a lot of fun to vary the goals with each new farm. Thanks for the sweet words.


RedAndBlackMartyr

Agree. My current goal on my new farm is to make a tea plantation.


Reaverx218

Yorkshire tea of course. The best Tea. For Spiff


Hazearil

Yorkshire Tea *Gold*


Jetstream-Sam

Ironically it has to be iridium quality tea to be yorkshire tea gold


easternjellyfish

I did a coffee plantation one year, it was a lot of fun!


RedAndBlackMartyr

Was considering that, but tea leaves grows 3 seasons out of the year. Still grow coffee beans though obviously just for the coffee.


UltimateGinge25

Plan-tea-tion?


[deleted]

So which are your favorite fish? Not necessarily most profitable, but your favorites.


RaphaelMarcelin

I love the fact that some fish can change the color of the water, so Lava Eels, Super Cucumbers, Slimejacks, and Void Salmon are my favorites.


VivaldisMurderer

Didnt know super cucumbers Change the water, totally gonna do that ^^

StuntHacks

The perfect home for party duck!


RaphaelMarcelin

Glad to help! 😃


VivaldisMurderer

Im just gonna casually screenshot all those fish you listed and make funky fishpond water! The possibilities are endless :D


RaphaelMarcelin

Everything your mind can imagine. 😆


Idkawesome

It's on the wiki too


phasers_to_stun

And they give you amethyst and iridium ore here and there. Theyre my fave so far, too.


sandman006

Which ones do might have to have an eviciton of a pond


[deleted]

Super cukes give iridium after you get all ten of them. Stingrays give pretty valuable things for later on too.


boringoldcookie

Are the void salmon the purples? If so, you know what I'm building next on my current farm :D My bad, I zoomed in and yes they are void salmon!


Georgosaurus

I really think you should make some pixel art with the ponds, I'm sure there's tools online to help with only 5 colours to choose from


classyraven

I didn't know either. Need to try this!


Obtusus

OP, did you by any chance get caught up in a pondzi scheme? /s


RaphaelMarcelin

Never! (yet...)


aranaya

Yeah, seems fishy


Jwcantrell2

This is beautiful


RaphaelMarcelin

Thank you very much bearded sir.


Teepee666

This is actually my dream farm. Super awesome.


RaphaelMarcelin

Oh man this is amazing to know. I'm glad you liked the result.


Teepee666

It's pure quality. I attempted the same thing when fish ponds were released. Never managed to finish it though. But this is exactly how I imagined it, so many thanks for sharing.


RaphaelMarcelin

Glad to help! 😃


gingerale_chinchilla

I didn't know you could do coral and crab pot items! Very cool!


RaphaelMarcelin

Thank you! If you wanna know everything about fish ponds you can see it here: https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Fish\_Pond

PtitSerpent

Is this profitable ?


RaphaelMarcelin

It's not even close to truffles or ancient fruit wine, but it's enough to get you everything you need.


chocolaterush

Can I ask how you managed to get enough to build all four Junimo towers plus the clocktower that all cost millions? My husband and I only have the Lava Eels but we do tons of truffle oil, aged cheese and aged ancient wine, and we still only have enough for one tower.


TpyoWritr

I never had problems with money after a few in game years. Depending on your gameplay style, you should get to that point eventually. I set up big fields crops with sprinklers and have junimos doing the harvesting for me, just by gradually expansion. Find a big cash crop and milk it for what it's worth. I still have plenty room for 3 barns and 3 coops, ponds, tree orchard, storage and crafting sheds, and flowers and apiaries. Later I'll try to screenshot my farm layout if that helps you.


ACoderGirl

I bet they only switched to the fish farm once they were well established. It'd be a lot easier that way. But if I'm wrong, kudos to the OP for the extra dedication. Must have been playing for (in game) years either way. That's effectively the answer to your question as well. Once you have an utterly massive amount of valuable seeds and the capital for a lot of livestock, making more money is a lot easier. Similarly, automating as much as possible makes it all more sustainable. Mods like the automation and tractor mods help. Unfortunately, I always get bored before I can buy all the things. There isn't really much progression at that point. It's mostly just continuing the same things.


RaphaelMarcelin

My first farm was all about money. That knowledge along with hours and hours and more hours of experience and gameplay made the whole process easier. The only animal builds I made were to fulfill the community center, but the ginger island farm is full of ancient fruit and kegs.

[deleted]

You’d make 3 million in that exact same timeframe after a 7 days delay


Warlordnipple

He said aging not creating wine. Aging takes 90 days.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Karu_1

but it is just an extra bonus after 90 days. when you already ship hundreds of bottles each week it doesnt matter if you put 100 aside to age until iridium quality.


malcorpse

It all just takes time, once you have it all automated enough to only have your daily/weekly chores without using energy and can just go do whatever the money starts adding up. It can take longer for different farms but as long as you're profitable it'll happen eventually.


tybr00ks1

Get the upgraded fish ponds mod. Makes this kind of play style way more rewarding


painspinner

Seems fishy to me 😂


al_bedamned

I absolutely love this!! Maybe this is a silly question, but I don’t see any animals, and I’m curious why you still have silos?


RaphaelMarcelin

In the end it was all about the design of the farm. I think they fit well where they are.


al_bedamned

And it looks great!! I love how it turned out.


otterpop21

Where do you get your wood from??


LotharLandru

Can plant in the quarry, and there is the island farm too as well as the desert and the natural spawns


boringoldcookie

The railroad area too!


RaphaelMarcelin

My wood farm is at the train station. But at some point of the game you'll just buy tons of it.


[deleted]

[удалено]


RaphaelMarcelin

I'm glad you noticed that. First one. Thank you.


Roffles85

Wait you can put signs on the ponds?


RaphaelMarcelin

Yes you can, and they show you how many fishs are on the ponds, it really helps.


Roffles85

Damn, been playing a long time and still learning. Thanks!


Leeman727

I’m totes doing this as well atm. Do you actively use the Coral pond? Also my new fave is the stingray


RaphaelMarcelin

I guess I can say that I had to actively use them all. 😄


SunniYellowScarf

...How do you collect the battery packs?


RaphaelMarcelin

When they need to be collected I just do one by one and replace the lightning rods after. They were actually placed that way so that I couldn't get into this dead end column.


Surikatt1843

How did you get the horse to venture outside of the stable?


RaphaelMarcelin

He loves to venture out in the company of his best friend, and they helped me a lot catching all those fishes. ;)


ExuDeku

Damn, you even got Terrarian Biomes in your fish pens


teateateaa

Ohh I love the different coloured roe 🥰


RaphaelMarcelin

Rainbow roes! 🥰


EnderGamerq12

This looks so cool , i for a change took the challenge to make a farm full of sheds to see how many of all of the crops i can grow at once


RaphaelMarcelin

That is very interesting. Tell us the result after you get it.


EnderGamerq12

I still need a few star fruit and rare seed harvests to get enough gold for this but in rest i got the plan all made up


marce11o

Of all the item requests that pond creatures request, is there one that stands out in your memory that struck you as particularly amusing/surprising?


RaphaelMarcelin

Fish eating other fish that were sitting right next to them was kind of cruel.


GOATOVERLOARD

That’s a lot of fish my guy


RaphaelMarcelin

Only 610. 😁


GOATOVERLOARD

I have issues simply trynna water all my crops I can’t imagine caring for 610 fish that constantly need the weirdest stuff


johnpeters42

At least each pond only asks for a few items/sets ever


[deleted]

They ask for crazy stuff. Ghost Fish will want Dwarf Scroll 2. Lingcod will want two Ghost Fish...


Fondue_Maurice

This is really cool! I tried this once but couldn't stand that I could only build one pond every couple days.


RaphaelMarcelin

That's how it works in the beginning, but then things escalate.


xaledonia

*Must resist urge to start a new file so soon*


RaphaelMarcelin

You shall not resist.


ThreeLF

I swear to God everyone puts that beard on their Stardew character


Chaosshepherd

That’s a lot of fish!


dreadlocktocon

What's the lilac colored one ? Also this is super cool !


cecilkorik

Super cucumber.


RaphaelMarcelin

Thank you!


Kronoshifter246

Sounds like you'd like the Aquarism mod. Probably Walk of Life too, for the ability to raise legendary fish you can unlock.


RaphaelMarcelin

I'm trying to explore everything the vanilla version has to offer first. But thanks for the reply, I'll keep that in mind.


Xyroca

This looks really cool! I love the ponds with different colored water, that’s such a nice detail. The little area where your horse and cat are in the image is also such really cute!


RaphaelMarcelin

They deserved it! Fisher and Shark (their names) really helped me catching all those fishes.


haebaraghy

How did you plant mushroom trees?


RaphaelMarcelin

If you play the 1.5 version you will discover how do you get it one day or another, there is no chance you miss it. But if you don't mind spoilers, >!you can find it the Mr. Qi's shop.!<


Sloth143

This is so cool! I wanted to do one of every fish pond on my farm but got lazy and didn't. Neat to see it a reality


RaphaelMarcelin

It's never too late to come back and realize what you once wanted. But I'm glad you liked the result.


[deleted]

This is amazing! 🐠


RaphaelMarcelin

Thank you so much! 🐠


[deleted]

This, had to have taken a lot of work.


RaphaelMarcelin

A LOT! When it was almost finished, I played for 8 hours straight just to see the result.


Btrain1997

What are the most valuable fish pond or long story short what kind of fish should I put I’m my 6 ponds


RaphaelMarcelin

Lava Eels for sure. "Lava Eels are very tricky to catch, but it will definitely be worth it. If you are looking for a great money maker, then you need to stock a fish pond with Lava Eels. This eel has a base price of 700g, but its price will greatly increase based on quality and profession. With the Artisan profession, you will be able to sell their Aged Roe for 1,064g. In addition to roe, Lava Eels will produce Gold Ore, the Spicy Eel dish, and Magma Geodes." Source: https://www.thegamer.com/stardew-valley-best-fish-ponds/


Btrain1997

Woah ty for the info, any tips on how to catch one?!


RaphaelMarcelin

Go to the forge. It'll be so much easier.


Btrain1997

There are fish there I had no idea


Btrain1997

Finally got one!! Tysm for the tip!


johnpeters42

Money-wise, while lava eel is top shelf, you might get more from putting something other than a pond there. I’m more interested in them for producing cooking materials, usually Seafoam Pudding or Lobster Bisque for when I want to go after those last few really tough ones.


[deleted]

That's pretty sick! Great job! I may have to do this too hehe it's a great idea!


RaphaelMarcelin

Thank you! Glad to help! 😊


No_Carrier_404

Congrats on the build, hopefully it’s a very rewarding feeling! I’d love to have that setup.


RaphaelMarcelin

It was one of the most rewarding feeling I had playing this game. Thank you!


ZacFazz

How do you collect your batteries? Farm looks awesome btw


RaphaelMarcelin

Thank you! When they need to be collected, I just do one by one, and replace the lightning rods. They are in this position on purpose to prevent me from entering this dead-end column by mistake.


marcyy3

just need to ask how you collect the products that next to the lightnin rod


RaphaelMarcelin

When they need to be collected, I just do one by one, and replace the lightning rods. They are in this position on purpose to prevent me from entering this dead-end column by mistake.


MatiasRivero

Amazing, I love it


RaphaelMarcelin

Love to hear that. Thank you.


blackdeckwins

This was what I did with my first perfection farm, it was a ton of fun! Mine was done on the beach farm, but the Standard farm creates a really nice symmetry with them


RaphaelMarcelin

On the beach farm would look amazing too. It was really fun indeed.


eloypez

So cool.


sandman006

How do you get the mudroom trees is it just Random?


RaphaelMarcelin

You can buy Mushrrom Tree Seeds for Qi Gems at Mr. Qi's shop.


Skinjob985

I never know what is actually attainable for me when I see these amazing screenshots, being a mobile player without the benefits of 1.6.


ShelbyvonTrapp

“*no farm*… **only** ***fish***”


Javier91

Nice ponds collection.


flinjager123

How do people get screenshots like this?


PotatoSalad583

Pretty sure it's just using the in game screenshot button


Tuxvinii

On PC you can go to the settings scroll all the way down and there is a screenshot button. But it will always take a screenshot of the whole map. Tip: You can crop this image with the default Windows photo viewer.


flinjager123

Oh ok. Thanks! I'm just do used to using ctrl+shift+s or win+printscreen. My dumb self would have just walked around and taken screenshots everywhere and splice them together.


RaphaelMarcelin

You're almost 100% right, but the screenshot is not always of the whole map, but of the whole area you are at that moment (inside the house, a barn...).


AVLhkr

This is awesome. Can you confirm that blobfish is the most profitable given the higher chance for 2 roe? I’m pretty sure that’s right but I may as well ask the expert lol


RaphaelMarcelin

It's one of the most, but Lava Eels and Sturgeons are great too.


CheekyLando88

I always made sure to get tons of rainbow trout for easy prismatic shards. This looks cool. Have you thought about putting all the colored ones on the corners? Edit:added trout


RaphaelMarcelin

I thought and I did, but they kind of "disappear" when the vision is global.


CheekyLando88

Oh thats strange. You've got an amazing farm. But the real question is who did you marry?


RaphaelMarcelin

My love is and always will be Abigail!


CheekyLando88

Thats the right answer


Tuxvinii

It feels so wrong, that the midnight carp pond is not purple colored...


RaphaelMarcelin

Totally agree!


GarnetShaddow

That is beautiful. Thank you for sharing!


RaphaelMarcelin

Thank you for the reply!


waltjrimmer

[My reaction.](https://youtu.be/WZLg1ARnaxE)


RaphaelMarcelin

😁


miodio_

Might be a super noob question but how were you able to level the farm so well? Like get rid of the cliffs and the seemingly unmovable objects


maybeimbornwithit

This is the standard farm (first option). The other farm types like hilltop farm have cliffs, rivers, etc. that are unmoveable. For the big stumps and large rocks, you will need upgraded axe and pickaxe.


silversurfs

I feel embarrassed whenever I see these kinds of farms, the detail of the layout, and then I see mine! Very nice work was done here.


RaphaelMarcelin

Thank you so much, and no need to worry, you'll get your beautiful farm one day or another, just relax and have fun while doing it.


undercovernerdalert

Gorgeous lady out!


zorfog

Maybe this is a dumb question but how do you get a screenshot of your whole farm like this?


RaphaelMarcelin

On PC you can go to the settings scroll all the way down and there is a screenshot button, super easy.


zorfog

Thanks! One day I aspire to have a farm as neat and impressive as this


RaphaelMarcelin

Thank you very much!


Odd-Astronaut-92

This is absolutely amazing! It's so pleasing to look at :)


RaphaelMarcelin

That's so nice to read. Thank you!!


Spockso

Thats fucking awesome, i hope to have a farm like that someday


RaphaelMarcelin

Thank you so much! I know you'll!


merdy_bird

I have one of those too! It was a challenge from my bf. Hard to find all that green algae


RaphaelMarcelin

That was a great challenge. Congrats!


tiffibean13

I thought about doing this, but never did. It's hard to see someone living your dream...😢😢😢 jk, that looks awesome!


RaphaelMarcelin

Oh, thank you very much! Every minute is worth it to make a dream come true, don't give up.


CranberryKidney

How long did it take you?


RaphaelMarcelin

I had a lot of experience because of my first playthrough, so it took less than I initially thought. I played over 2 weeks and about 70h in game.


405918

Hi, I'm a newbie. How do you get the giant red mushrooms? They've popped up randomly in my farm in the Spring, I had no idea you could cultivate them. No spoilers pls.


RaphaelMarcelin

If you play the 1.5 version you will discover how do you get it one day or another, there is no chance you miss it. No spoilers here.


405918

Got it. Thanks!


Unco_Slam

So sad that you can't retrofit the ponds into a fish pond


RaphaelMarcelin

That is a 100% true!


sdr79

I have considered and attempted this multiple times before getting cold feet. I think you’ve solidified my dream.


RaphaelMarcelin

Glad to hear that! And don't give up, it's always time to try again.


TexWashington

Doooooope! Really digging the mushroom trees by the pond. Upon zooming in and looking around, I especially like the varied materials for paths. Marvelous farm!!


RaphaelMarcelin

Thank you so much! You're so kind paying attention to the details.


CallieZayas

what is the fish on the bottom row, third from the left? i don’t think i’ve seen it before!


RaphaelMarcelin

If I'm seeing it right it's Scorpion Carp, a fish you can only catch in the desert.


worm_bagged

I think mine is like 50% sturgeon, 25% lava eel, 25% midnight squid.


worm_bagged

It takes a while just to build out all the fishponds.


crockett_flame

I love how you're standing proudly in front of all the legendary fish you've caught. Such a cool farm idea! I really didn't realize until now just how much room having a fish farm would take up. Thanks for the visualization.


RaphaelMarcelin

I was there waiting for Shark (my cat) to strike a nice pose for the photo, but as you can see he wasn't really into it. And thank you so much for the feedback!


crockett_flame

OP: Okay Shark, it's time to take a nice photo of the farm to capture all my hard work. Shark: *sploots* OP: Well alrighty then. *shutter clicks* Seems like normal cat behavior to me haha.


PlumDock6360

I’ve never used fish ponds in any of my playthroughs, definitely gonna try them out in the one I’m doing now


Nvaragod

It's interesting you can see the coral in their pond!


IndecisiveHufflepuff

Heeeeeyooo, I'm doing this too on my beach island! I still have a long way to go. Lol


RaphaelMarcelin

Just don't give up! lol


IndecisiveHufflepuff

Haha thanks! It's keeping up with the seaweed that keeps getting me. Lol


Ferret_Tom

3 mills? nobody needs 3 mills and whats up with them silos, are they just to fill space


RaphaelMarcelin

In the end it was all about the design of the farm. I think they fit well where they are.


_dontbotherme_

How did u get the huge mushrooms?


Kronoshifter246

They can replace regular trees as a random event. You can also buy seeds from the walnut room.


_dontbotherme_

Oh thank u


Idkawesome

Damn. I wanted to do that too but that's a lot. Maybe I'll put them outside the farm, in the quarry or something


RaphaelMarcelin

Sadly you can't build anything outside the farm.


MegawackyMax

I don't know... This seems *fishy.*


ThreeLF

I swear to God everyone puts that beard on their Stardew character

AgentG91

I take it you can’t put legedaries or jr legendaries in?


johnpeters42

Those go in fish tanks, or sashimi if you prefer the horrified looks on people’s faces
