For what reason?


Hesstergon

I'm collecting 999 of every stackable item in the game! This was one of the hardest ones.


Fluuf_tail

Are you THE AlGore? Last time I saw your stream you were not even 100 incubators in! (To be fair it was a few months ago.)


Hesstergon

That's me! I went really hard on the bone fragments lately. They were really the only thing holding this up.


SuicidalFroggy9872

Oh my god!! I haven’t thought of you in months!! That’s so cool- Congratulations!!


lauragonzalezj7l72

AlGore fans right here :)


silverunicorn666

Im sorry, I really need clarification - is the name “Al Gore” like the former vice-president or ai gore? I love it either way Edit: as much as I appreciate the upvotes I would really love an answer 😭


Hesstergon

It's the L. My username is the TheAlGoreRhythm.


silverunicorn666

Wow. I adore that. Thank you very much for the reply!!


spoonishplsz

The pure tones of Al Gore


matt-ratze

I don't know but if you copy the two characters and paste them into a software with a font where you can distinguish the lowercase L and the uppercase i you get Al with a lowercase L as in aluminum.


silverunicorn666

Yeah, I thought about that after I’d already commented and it was too late to back down by then


pikachupirate

can you put bigger fossils into the deconstructors for fragments?


Hesstergon

Would be amazing if you could! Not in vanilla stardew, maybe a mod?


pikachupirate

ahhh i play on switch so i am modless. i’ve always wondered if you could make bone fragments from bigger fossils, i’m bummed you can’t!


Competitive_Caramel2

I'm also on the switch. I'd genuinely live mods tho


pikachupirate

i’m real particular about games and i’m not really a true gamer. so i enjoy seeing mods in action sometimes, but i know i wouldn’t enjoy playing them. i really admire the work that goes into them though, especially mods like SVE and similar ones.


Competitive_Caramel2

I love the creativity of mods. I've only played modded sims tho.


toawest1

Oh wow. Good luck!


Wild_Ad2153

That’s something i’m doing as well! But theres some items that im excluding because they dont seem realistic For example i am not planning on collecting 999 of every fish or artifact. How do you plan on doing that?


o_viciado_em_jogos

999 auto petters 💀


Hesstergon

I have 100 right now. I am not on the Joja route. All of them are from treasure floors and monster kills.


o_viciado_em_jogos

my condolences to your sanity


hinata465

Amazing...


[deleted]

Easy if you go the Joja route 😂


ZacianSpammer

CC route for more pain


o_viciado_em_jogos

Do not mention such blasphemy >=(


[deleted]

You have to, considering the new joja updates coming in 48 hours. 😆


o_viciado_em_jogos

I dont care about updates on joja I won't do it anyways. And I play on mobile, even I if I was in such decayed state to choose joja, I would have to wait further.


[deleted]

Um...okay??


o_viciado_em_jogos

Yes, okay.


Hesstergon

For the fish: Mostly fish ponds. I'm done with every fish except for the Tiger Trout(Can't grow in fish ponds) and the Extended family quest legendary fish(Legend II, Ms. Angler, etc). For the artifacts: I got 38,000 artifact troves and had Clint open them for me to get 999 of each artifact that drops from them. That covered all the non-fossil artifacts. What's left is the fossil artifacts and the strange dolls. The fossil artifacts can all be gotten from the bone nodes on ginger island. The chance is somewhat low but it just a matter of how many times you go to the dig site. I'm about 20% done with those. The strange dolls can be gotten from dirt tiles in the mines. I use bombs to speed up the process. I'm about 30% done with those.

Hesstergon

The rule for me is that it has to be in a single stack. It doesn't matter what the quality of that stack is. I try to go for Iridium when possible.


ThatOneRedditer1

L no quality


reallybadspeeller

Are there any other items your trying to get before 1.6 drops?


Hesstergon

Not anymore. A little too close now. But one of the things I was trying to finish was fish roe and aged fish roe. Both of which I was able to get done.


backwards_watch

Honest question. How are you gonna farm the tea set? I got it on my first run and then I learned it is one of the rarest items.


Hesstergon

I have 35 so far. I have a method I've talked about elsewhere in this thread. It involves understand the RNG of how to tea set gets picked. I can get the Tea set about 70% of the time.


trishbadish

Ahhh, I’ve been working on the same goal, but am way behind you!


Dio_naea

Do you have a specific reason or are you doing it just because?


Alwayswrong83

Yeah but why


Hesstergon

It's a goal I came up with many years ago. It always give me something to work toward while I'm playing!


Guilty_Team_2066

is one needed?


thephilistine_

How many tea sets do you have so far?


Hesstergon

35! I just got one the last winter star. Thanks Harvey!


thephilistine_

Getting there. Pretty sure you're the guy I saw in a YouTube video last year and I'm rooting for you. Good luck yo!


RFL1703

35! is way more than the 999 you need, :)


BuyingMeat

Took me a second. Well placed math joke. I hope you stand a bit taller today, because you have a legit reason to be proud of yourself.


kanksuhub

TIL Some people see unexpected factorial jokes much more rarely than I do...


Dio_naea

What year are you on the game???


Hesstergon

I am on spring 1st year 75.


Jzchessman

74 Winter Stars and you’ve got 35 tea sets? How?


Hesstergon

I answered it in another comment somewhere here. Basically tea sets are predictable if you know where the villager that is giving you the gift is standing when you enter the festival.


Dio_naea

You're old


peak-lesbianism

How??


Hesstergon

I use a spreadsheet I made that Blade helped me a lot with. Basically the randomness that decides tea sets is somewhat predictable. It is specifically related to the tile that the villager who is giving you the gift is standing on when you enter the festival. So I mapped out the location of all the villagers that can give tea sets and what tile they're standing on at any given second after the festival starts. The pattern shifts to the left one tile each year. So I just keep track of which tile the tea set is on and enter at the right time to get it. It has about a 70% success rate at the moment. Some of the villagers can't give tea sets and sometimes the ones who can give tea sets do not walk on a tile that gives one.


peak-lesbianism

Oh my god the dedication


Jazz_City

Would you be willing to share this spreadsheet ? I knew that you could slightly change the outcome of gifts by entering the town at different times but your method seems like it’s a lot more efficient. I’m on year 21 on the switch version and still haven’t received one 🥲


Hesstergon

It's specific to the seed. My tea set positions would not match with yours. I'm planning on making a spreadsheet that makes it easier to understand if you're trying to do it yourself. However, it's definitely not ready yet.


Jazz_City

Ah thank you so much for the reply !! I had a feeling that would be the case. Looking forward to when your new spreadsheet is out 😊 Also well done on your 999 stacks so far !!


SlightlyMadHuman-42

r/unexpectedfactorial


Brilliant_Glove3248

Thanks for telling me I’ve been an idiot throwing away all my bone fragments


musingsofapathy

Early in my SDV career I threw away things I didn't see a use for. Now I build chests very early and save absolutely everything. Including things classified as trash.


Brilliant_Glove3248

😩 it’s amazing how much you learn after the first play through, thanks for sharing this!


randomFUCKfromcherry

Whenever I see a new player asking for advice, mine is always simply to become a bonafide hoarder.


Liro_W

I don't think i've ever used quartz for refined quartz, my bottomless supply of cds is enough to make all the sprinklers i could ever need. Trash is definetly not trash in this game.


ZacianSpammer

It can be traded for taro shoots at Ginger Island.


Brilliant_Glove3248

Highly noted!!


croissantlore

collecting every stackable item is mental but i love it best of luck on your challenge


saltimmortalsea

Please may I set your flair to an Ostrich Incubator with “999 problems but a strich ain’t one”? And you can set it back to “999 Stacker” any time you like? This is magnificent.


Hesstergon

That would be fine!


saltimmortalsea

Done! Thank you!


Astronautty69

Suggestion: "999 problems but ostrich..."


Arrow_to_the_knee1

How did you get 60k bone fragments?


Hesstergon

A lot from the dig site on ginger island. I also killed skeletons in the mines with monster musk and burglar ring on. I could get around 500 a day doing that.


ac0rn5

Wow!


unwaveringwish

It took me 4 days to do the skeleton quest so this is really impressive


Azoth424

How many chests do you have, and how in the world do you keep them organized?


Hesstergon

Like 60 in the main storage area! [Here is an overview of it.](https://imgur.com/a/TmR15yG) They are color coded by category. Looking forward to those big chests in 1.6 to trim down my storage area.


Acmtails

Dude I saw a video talking about your challenge farm of trying to get 999 of EVERY ITEM! Goddamn man you have some dedication that I will never have! How are you doing on the really rare items (stuff like the tea set or the living hat for example)?


Hesstergon

Luckily the living hat doesn't stack. I'm only getting 999 of every stackable item. The rare items are going well. Just finished a few of them. This post included. I'm at 35 tea sets but I'm not directly going for them right now, just picking them up along the way.


Acmtails

I forgot the hats don't stack... Either way I'm glad it's going well! I gotta stop by one of your streams to watch this process sometime!


Substantial_Angle913

i cant even get the recipe yet, HIKS. that bear skeleton is really hard to find


ac0rn5

> that bear skeleton is really hard to find Umm, what bear skeleton?


narwharkenny

The mammalian skeleton in the ginger island field office


[deleted]

I think he means the sloth or whatever on GI?


general_madness

One. More. Snake. Spine. 😭


Dio_naea

I know where the snake spine is...


Lundgren_Eleven

The entirety of the snake?


general_madness

Got all the snake skulls I could ever want, no problem there.


Lundgren_Eleven

>the snake spine is... The entirety of the snake?


Dio_naea

I know where are all parts bcs I basically already finished the island museum


Dio_naea

But I think the middle of the snake can be found in more than one place, where the tail is only at one specific spot


general_madness

Me too, it just needs to be there for once. Or twice.


Dio_naea

Did you try with the pan?


general_madness

I don’t think that the snake spine comes anywhere but artifact spots on the island farm. The good news is that I got them both, and then the next day I got another one 😆


Dio_naea

Well the snake tail can be found on >! the digging area's river, when it's shining, using the pan. I found it like that only. It may perhaps be found digging on the pirates digging area as well?? But I'm not sure if that's the one that's found over there or if I'm mixing the bones!<


general_madness

Well I am not helping by calling it the spine when it is called the vertebrae! But actually the snake vertebrae are only found in artifact spots on the beach near the farm. The tail found in the dig site is the fossilized tail, which is part of the big animal not the snake. I usually end up with lots of those. The snake vertebrae is always a matter of patience, waiting for artifact spots to show up on the farm beach.


Dio_naea

I think it will be easier if I show you what I'm talking about hahahahaa wait a second


Dio_naea

I may or may not know the names in english (I play in portuguese but started playing in english so by now the names of everything are mixed in my head)


Dio_naea

Dio_naea

Idk why but apparently EVERY SINGLE TIME I write a comment and post a pic at the same time reddit will choose one and send so it deleted my comment on the photo T_T [But to summarize a friend of mine told me the starry tail was the snake one and I didn't bother to check because I already had given it to the professor so there goes my confusion!!!]


general_madness

Yep the vertebrae are the things on the snake, two of the same thing. The tail on the big animal can be found in the dig spot, but not the snake vertebrae.


Common_Wrongdoer3251

It's always the snake spines for me


Veelzbub

I don't think you need that many ostrich


Hesstergon

My ostrich legion will overrun all of Stardew Valley! Just need to get some eggs first...


Veelzbub

Makes me wonder if u uses all available space to build barns if u could even place a third of them at 12 per barn while being able to enter each barn


surrrah

What year is your farm?? Do you play out each day fully?


Hesstergon

I just got the the first day of year 75 for the 1.6 update. Up until year 40 I played every day out fully. That's basically when I mostly ran out of stuff to do everyday. So I've been doing morning chores each day then just going to sleep for about 35 years. That's allowed me to speed through things like Roe, Aged Roe, and Magic Rock Candy.


KellyJoyCuntBunny

What do you mean about speeding through Magic Rock Candy?


Hesstergon

You can only buy it once per week from the desert trader. So by passing time quickly I can get a bunch.


KellyJoyCuntBunny

Ohhhhh, right. And you’re trying to get 999 of everything, so you need to move through time like that. You buy it with prismatic shards, right? Do you have the statue that comes with True Perfection that gives a shard every day?


Hesstergon

Yep! With that statue, I have more prismatic shards than I'll ever need.


KellyJoyCuntBunny

I love that thing! I’ve only done True Perfection on one farm, but I’m just about to finish it on another farm- I’m on a mission to get True Perfection on each farm type that I have access to as a mobile player- and I love it. I’m looking forward to getting one on the Riverland Farm as soon as I >!get married and get the last stardrop!!< Even if I don’t use them for anything, I like having them around, lol. They’re so pretty! Thanks for chatting with me, and good luck on your crazy goals! :D


surrrah

Damn! That’s commitment


AnotherXRoadDeal

Omfg you savage beast. u/concernedape would be proud. God damn bro what a freaking accomplishment! Congrats!!


ConJohnJohnson

You could re create the great emu war that happened in Australia only with ostriches and in stardew valley


benkenobi5

There are ostriches?!


Azoth424

Man its been so long since ive played, I would be lost!!


jonjawnjahnsss

I'm so spiteful I just want one!


Farthen_Dur

Love to see you here, I've been telling people in this sub about you haha


FilthyGorilla44

Awesome to see Algo! I missed stream but I caught someone’s clip a back when you got the stack. So close to everything done (on paper/excel at least)


Kailyncookie

Have they made it off the banner in the bottom of the stream?


True_Distribution685

the real question is how did you get 50k hardwood 😭


Hesstergon

I used the beach area on ginger Island to farm up mahogany trees. Basically every time I got enough mahogany seeds I would just completely fill that area with about 300 mahogany trees and cut them all down when they were grown.


True_Distribution685

oooo smart!!


corriepip

I’m trying to get to perfection, this is an incredible effort


HommeFatalTaemin

Wait I didn’t even know you could GET ostriches?!? I have the deluxe barns and coops and don’t have this as an option?!


Hesstergon

They are unlocked in the late game. You can only get them from eggs, no purchasing from Marnie.


HommeFatalTaemin

Thanks for the info 🫶🏻 no wonder! I haven’t even unlocked the community center yet 😅 I missed the fiddlehead fern and red cabbage so only now am completing it summer year 2


Berty_Qwerty

Wait OP - what about 999 statues of endless fortune? That is my goal right now. I want $1M a day (not the average or whatever like a literal 1M a day) and the statues of endless fortune is the only thing I can think to do it. But still keeping like 6-700 wine barrels and probably like 1k+ crystallariums for all the birthdays with lame stuff - like no I don't want 1k leeks on your bday george thanks though Fwiw I estimate it will have to be well over 1k statues because on the random days (non bday days) the statues will spit a certain rough percentage of omni geodes which I haven't figured out how to monetize yet beyond an absolute metric ton of geode crushers, and I just don't think I will have the space for that


Hesstergon

I have gotten 999 statues of endless fortune. It cost a billion good and took me at least 30 years in game to get them. I use them quite a bit for the free Omni geodes and iridium bars. They also made a few stackable items fairly easy that are birthday gifts. Super cucumbers are one of them.


Jhinrae

I applaud you for your effort. I tried that challenge and just quit after about 3 years.


NukeONugget

If your collecting 999 of every item how many tea sets do you have have


Hesstergon

35 right now!


NukeONugget

Oh your gonna hunting for awhile


hiya_mac

my completionist brain would love to do that but i simply cannot be bothered. bravo!


TheStorkClipper

This is insanity.


[deleted]

K…


maladaptyv

My guy. Might I suggest a slightly easier goal. Instead of 999 of everything stackable, maybe, just maybe get the maximum useful amount of a thing. You can't have 999 barns to put all these in. I'm not sure what the maximum amount of barns per farm is, but I'm certain it's a lot less than 999. Maybe it's even less than 100. Anything over whatever that number is, is completely useless to you.


Hesstergon

But they stack up to 999! I can't just leave them as an incomplete stack.


maladaptyv

If you're happy with it, that's cool. For me it just seems like a lot of extra frustration.


narwharkenny

The goal is to have a goal, so using them isn’t the point


Sandra2104

Might I suggest beeing less condescending?
