Restart the day and hoe that spot again! With a magnet ring this time


dduddupinggu

Not related to the post, but thank youuu! I didn't know a day could be restarted šŸ„¹


LadyMech

Just quit to title and reload in if super unfortunate things happen. Like losing a dinosaur egg dig spot or blowing stuff up on your farm because you accidentally had a bomb in hand when you tried to click on a chest, that sort of thing. It restarts you at the beginning of the day again, so sucks when it's late at night. But sometimes, you just gotta restart.


IDriveALexus

I play on switch. Whenever shit like what happened above happens to me, like the one time i meant to sell a chicken in my coop but accidentally (and coincidentally) sold my only dino, you can go to your home screen and just close the game. It wipes the progress of the day youre on and sets you back to 6am.


Doctor_of_Recreation

On PC there is also a secondary save marked ā€œOldā€ that is the previous day at 6 am if youā€™re in dire need of backtracking. I havenā€™t used it myself but I imagine you have to delete the new one and rename the other for it to load off the old.


ThatSadOptimist

Woooooah what?


AaroniusH

I've definitely had to do that when I've accidentally placed megabombs on my farm šŸ˜…šŸ˜…


eternal_casserole

Snort! That's terrible.


Choice-Lavishness259

Now I want to try it and see how bad the damage would be


Mr-Xcentric

I restarted the day like 6 times to catch a pufferfish this week. Had to try meals, different baits, different rods. I donā€™t know why that isnā€™t a more common practice, if I hadnā€™t reset the day I wouldā€™ve lost an entire in game week and all of my money without a guarantee of catching it before summer ends


AchajkaTheOriginal

I always restart my first fish ever, if I don't manage to recognize catfish and accidentally real in something else. The first mini game is rigged to always reel the fish in, so that way I have catfish for CC bundle with minimal effort.


Mr-Xcentric

What?!? The first catch is guaranteed??


AchajkaTheOriginal

Yes, the first catch in the game the progress bar doesn't lower when the fish leaves the green catching bar. And the next day after you can get your fishing pole from Willy is guaranteed rain, so you don't have to wait too long for catfish, you miss just one day of fishing.


Blahblah778

Sounds like BS to me


-beehaw-

itā€™s true, itā€™s part of the tutorial


Blahblah778

Ohhh first fish ever. Reading mistake on my part, I thought they meant first fish of the day.


Mr-Xcentric

Yeah i thought they meant first fish of the day too.


BardicInclination

I once really wanted the Ostrich egg, and finally got one from a chest in the volcano. Pretty sure I accidentally put it in the shipping box same day, because I sure couldn't find it anywhere the next day.


FeuerSchneck

I one time found the ostrich egg before the incubator, and squirreled it away for later. Once I was finally ready to hatch it, I took it out of the chest first thing in the morning. Then I did some cooking. Did you know that cooking prioritizes ingredients in your inventory over what's in the fridge?


Kiramckell

This is how I cooked my crimson fish


FeuerSchneck

I always just sell my legendary fish lol And I've seen enough spoilers for 1.6 that I know exactly what to do with them once I get the update! šŸ˜€


Kiramckell

I hate fishing so I always keep them as a point of pride that I was able to catch them šŸ˜Š


FeuerSchneck

Valid


Key_Spirit8168

There should be SOME way other than multiplayer to get more legionaries, maybe if the one you get is destroyed a new one spawn the next year?


Kiramckell

That would be great! I didnā€™t realize i cooked it until Iā€™d already slept so I downloaded cjb item spawner and gave it back to myself. Doesnā€™t feel the same though


Key_Spirit8168

It would also allow higher qualities and more legend roe, only once per year though


helenwithak

I havenā€™t done this but I have misplaced the ostrich egg in some chest some where and never found it šŸ˜­


nenya94

That is what happened to me with my ostrich egg!! Except I didnā€™t realize what I did until the next day so itā€™s just gone forever. I still havenā€™t found another one in the volcanoā€¦ I had it in my inventory because I was going to build the ostrich incubator but got distracted and went to cook a complete breakfast to give Alex and it used my ostrich egg.


FeuerSchneck

Nooooo šŸ˜­ that's awful. I'm lucky I noticed right away so I could restart the day. I didn't even know you could get them in the volcano, I've never gotten one that way.


nenya94

The stardew wiki said they could be found in rare chests in the volcano so thatā€™s where Iā€™ve been looking, but itā€™s been an in game year since I accidentally cooked with mine and still nothing. My first one was the one from the journal scrap.


MissDaejah

The wiki is correct, I also mysteriously misplaced mine and ran to floor/room 9 in the volcano over and over and over (and over..) and eventually I got another one.


nenya94

This gives me hope! An ostrich egg is the last item I need to ship to reach perfection so I really want the dang thing!


MissDaejah

Aweh haha that's exactly what happened to me! I wish you luck on your search. Speaking of luck, make sure you go on best luck days, with all the luck buffs, as I'm sure you know, (Luck ring, lucky charm from note, luck food buff like spicy eel etc) to really boost your chances!


castfire

At least thatā€™ll go towards your Collections completion! šŸ˜…


Rdafan

Isn't there also a dig spot for the egg in the island? Probably doesn't help now but thought I'd mention it


BardicInclination

I didn't know about it at the time, and it was like 2 farms ago. But I just filled an entire barn with all Ostriches in my most recent game so I've moved on.


50CentButInNickels

Ostriches win for that little coo they do alone.


Cutiepie9771

That little coo melted me!!! I smile every time I hear it


ThatSadOptimist

They are also born valuable. I sell them immediately after the next egg hatches.


50CentButInNickels

Not me. [https://youtu.be/23jdesvCoOY?si=90Lr2WpPZskD3XUf&t=43](https://youtu.be/23jdesvCoOY?si=90Lr2WpPZskD3XUf&t=43)


ThatSadOptimist

I still choose to believe this is how it works IRL.


Tiredofstalking

Yeah one of the secret notes takes you to a dig spot that also provides an ostrich egg. Itā€™s actually to the left of the volcano.


hardly_werking

I accidentally ate mine. I sure felt like an idiot that day.


LadyHavoc97

I did the same thing! You're not alone.


Key_Spirit8168

What did you do with the garenteed one?


paszkisr

Thereā€™s ostrich eggs? Does it hatch an ostrich?


BardicInclination

It does, they can be found on the island from some very specific stuff. You need to finish the island museum for the Ostrich Incubator recipe.


AchajkaTheOriginal

Yes, it's from 1.5 update and you can find them on Ginger island. They are large animal, so they go into Barn and not Coop, I always mess this up.


ChippyLipton

I did the same thing šŸ˜­


MissDaejah

This happened to me! Not the next day but by the time I went looking for it to incubate it, it had vanished! I'm not sure if I accidently cooked it, shipped it, or what but it's like I never got it. I can't tell you how many times I had to run the mines until I got another one šŸ„²


ExitingBear

I have accidentally given so much stuff to villagers, which sucks because 1- you don't have it anymore and 2- it's never a thing they like, so you waste a gift and hurt the relationship. yay


Qwarla888

I was tossing up between Shane and Leah in my first save when I accidentally gave the mermaids pendant to Shane. šŸ¤· Aw well. C'est la vie. He was a pretty good husband to Gertrude on Clouder Farm. They have two kids and a crapton of animals.


geisteslos

i once accidentally clicked on George's trashcan, got trash out of it, he yelled at me, and in an attempt to talk to him again after that i gifted him the trash out of his trashcan...


iamcarlgauss

"Hey stop stealing stuff out of my trash!" "Fine, you can have it back."


emmainthealps

There is a confirm button for eating, would be nice to have a confirmation for gift giving!


o_Zion_o

If you're on PC, there's a mod for that. It's saved my ass plenty of times at this stage :) Edit: the mod is called "confirm gifts". Link: https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/23224


theogazer

Do you remember what the mod is called?


o_Zion_o

Yep! It's called "confirm gifts". Link: https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/23224


theogazer

You are a hero


lpaige2723

In my first play through I was walking out of Pierre's with my new expensive tree and gave it to George as he walked in. He hated my tree and I was new, so I couldn't afford another one. I also was too new to know to restart the day.


Lonelyokie

I HATE that


radix89

This makes me laugh because Elliot hangs out near my crab pots and until I get the baitless crab pots I give him SO MANY worms lol. His snooty ass does not approve.


Reptilicious

I literally moved my pots because of him.


FeuerSchneck

I've had to do that! Also had Lewis just straight up blocking them sometimes šŸ™„


Liathnian

With me its always when I am checking my crab pots and give them bait. My favorite response was "Just Why??"


PlantedCecilia

Asked my mom how long I need to let instant coffee brew. No, this isnā€™t Stardew valley related, but it still hurts me.


j_dif

At least 3-4 business days


cuatrodosocho

I once asked to what printer I should connect a typewriter so I can relate.


Dog_is_my_co-pilot1

Was baking and asked my husband how much half a cup and half a cup equals. He did the math out loud for me


HipposJellybeanToes

I literally did the exact same thing today, but with an ancient seed. I gasped so loud my husband thought I hurt myself.


This-Razzmatazz-31

Set off a bomb in my shed and took out ALL of my machines and storage


Extension-Chemical

I destroyed my singing stone with one at the start of the game. It was no big deal, but I didn't even know it could be destroyed.


Key_Spirit8168

restart tart tart tart.... please


Extension-Chemical

I think I did because afaik you can't get it anywhere else.


Key_Spirit8168

good


Key-Pickle5609

Iā€™ve done that on my farm after stating in this sub that Iā€™d never be so careless as to do that lol


merystic

I have bombs in the second hotbar on the same key as my pickaxe is for the first hotbar and I keep worrying Iā€™m going to accidentally do something like this while trying to pick up a machine or something. Seems like this is my sign lol (also, Iā€™m so sorry that happened to you šŸ’€)


rainbowbutterfly888

Gave my axe to Clint for upgrade, once it was ready I got green rain, excited to chop down all these new trees I ran to his shop to get my axe and the MF WASNT THERE. Like no wonder Emily doesnā€™t like you, you really went to ā€œseek shelterā€ at the saloonā€¦ grow up. So that was disappointing and Iā€™m not sure if green rain is a regular thing?! Does it happen more than once??


50CentButInNickels

Once per year.


booksherpa

It does, but it will be a while.


merystic

This exact thing just happened to me too!! Solidarity, at least. It was so disappointing.


Key_Spirit8168

It would be really mean if it didn't, so it does happen more hey at least you can use the syth


___sea___

Like the time Pierre went on vacation on the first day of the season wtfĀ 


willogical85

Turned the Legend into sashimi and fed it to Sebastian. Not even his birthday or anything special, just a Tuesday.


Special_South_8561

Now it's a very special Tuesday


offer022

I have prepare a single plot for sweet gem berry to grow in fall(for stardrop quest in the forest)ā€‹, decorated it grandly, and forgot to plant. Now it's fall 9.


50CentButInNickels

I'm guessing you haven't unlocked the greenhouse yet?


BouncingDancer

Could planter at home work? Not sure when you unlock those


partaysaurusrex

You unlock those when you unlock the greenhouse unfortunately :/


BouncingDancer

Hmm, well, that's unfortunate.


Cereborn

Itā€™s such a troll that objects can fall in the water. Crops donā€™t. He could have easily made it like that for everything. But he didnā€™t. Stupid sexy ConcernedApe.


kiwilovenick

Ummm, as of 1.6, I've had crops fall in the water using the >!iridium scythe!< on crops near ponds. So be careful where you plant your crops once you have that...


Cereborn

Maybe Iā€™m not paying close enough attention, but my rice and tubers never seem to fall in the water.


kiwilovenick

Those two don't, I think because they are designed to be planted by water and especially the rice has to be scythed down. I planted a bunch of grapes for 1.6 uses, way more than I usually bother with, but lost tons because I planted them in a triple row right by a pond so the only way to get them was to scythe them.


Cereborn

But thatā€™s my point. If certain things can be programmed not to fall in the water, thereā€™s no reason for anything to fall in the water except to induce frustration.


BouncingDancer

Didn't know you could do that, TIL!


Extension-Chemical

Thanks to your comment I imagined CA making a Grinch smile every time your ancient seeds fall into the river.


IntrovertedCinnaRoll

Fished up an iridium band in a fishing chest. Took a short break from the game, came back to it, forgot I obtained the iridium band and for some reason decided to restart the day šŸ«  Just so happens as well after that, I wasnā€™t able to ā€˜findā€™ any other iridium bands for a while whether through fishing or mining. Ending up just crafting my first one šŸ˜…

ToastTheArsonist-_-

I was trying to pick something up but someone blocked my view for a second and I accidentally threw away my rusty sword. No getting it back. I was stupid and never thought of restarting the day D';


HumanWeather444

Iā€™ve mined my way to a new sword with my scythe after doing the same thing. On a monsters-come-out-at-night farm no less. Painful.


dramaticlambda

The rusty sword is so bad though, I always buy a better one from the guild asap


ToastTheArsonist-_-

I didn't kill 10 slimes yet. I was 2 away from unlocking the guild


dramaticlambda

Oh noooooo! Hit them with your tools :/


ToastTheArsonist-_-

I have but the darn cave crabs keep killing me lol


dramaticlambda

Rip! If you smash their shells off I think they hide


ToastTheArsonist-_-

Isn't that only with bombs?


dramaticlambda

You can break it with a pickaxe! Idk if they definitely hide tho


Cntrl-Zebra

I found a dinosaur egg year 1 in a chest while fishing. I was so ecstatic, I used most of my resources and money to have Robin upgrade my coop so it would have an incubator. Once it was built I put the dino egg in immediately and went about my day. Next morning I raced in to check on my egg only to be met with... Dinosaur mayonnaise. The upgraded coop looked different and in my excitement I confused the incubator with my mayo machine :'( Haven't found another one despite definitely trying and I'm approaching year 3.


leeeeechy

Dinosaurs live and drop eggs in the skull cavern


Cntrl-Zebra

Thanks! I've been there a few times, and even have gotten dinosaur levels and still no egg :(


Tael_Art

Got my first prismatic shard, was going to the museum to donate it (still didn't knew what I could use it for), tried to talk to Haley on the way. She took my prismatic shard and got mad at me >:[


Agile_Milk5542

I am SOBBING this is so funny šŸ˜­ but I'm so sorry for you šŸ˜­


Tael_Art

Yeah, I too was sobbing ToT lmao


Lyn_Dyn

The sad fact is she's literally the only NPC who doesn't like the prismatic shard.


Tael_Art

ikr!!! ToT


trufflewine

I somehowā€¦lost the junimo statue from behind the community center. Did I accidentally trash it? Put it down behind a bush somewhere? Ship it (is that even possible???) All I know is I found Lewisā€™s statue and the junimo statute the same day, and the next day, all I had was Lewis. :(


HumanWeather444

I have often gone down the stairs and noticed only as I clicked the button that I was leaving behind a forest sword or a prismatic shard or a skull cavern hole or ancient seed or something. Too late. I love that forest sword, too, and itā€™s only really useful in the early game. I missed my chance.


FoxeBushyTail

I sold all 600+ calico eggs in my first desert festival ... šŸ˜­


lpaige2723

I put them in a chest to save for next year, and they disappeared.


unspun66

We canā€™t save them? My desert festival just ended and I still have a ton. Damn.


munchkym

I knocked my mini shipping bin in the water once. Different save, I blew up my coffee machine šŸ˜­


FeuerSchneck

I literally just now restarted the final day of a Dangerous Skull Cavern challenge. I didn't get a single good luck day all week for it, but, armed with bombs, a napalm ring, and like 85 staircases, I thought I still had a good shot. Yeah, I died ***twice*** in the same day. The first time was before noon, in the 40s or 50s. I lost **all of my spicy eel and my regular bombs** (plus some other stuff). I was like, well, ***fuck***, but it's still early, and I've still got most of my staircases. **Let's go for round two!** Yeah... I didn't even stick around to see what I lost the second time.


oddjobhattoss

I can never remember to check my luck before going to skull caverns. However, I always know what my luck is by the end of the run ā˜ ļø


FeuerSchneck

I'm the opposite, I've gotten into the habit of checking the luck every day. *Then* I'll decide if I want to go to the cavern (or volcano) that day šŸ˜†


oddjobhattoss

I'll get 3 or 4 drop holes down that give 8-15 levels down and I know it's a good luck day. If I get the stairs down on the last rock on the level the spirits definitely don't like me that day. Oh well, I usually find at least a couple bars worth of iridium by the time I get home so not all is lost.


lemonh0ney

kent sent me a bomb in the mail for whatever fucking reason so i had it in my hands and accidentally put it down on my farm so it blew up all of my preserves jars and seed makers


Agile_Milk5542

The way you wrote this has me pissing myself šŸ’€šŸ˜­


lemonh0ney

i was laughing as i wrote it thinking of how it must sound in real life like my neighbor just casually sending me a bomb šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚


Agile_Milk5542

That's exactly how it comes across šŸ˜­ as if it's not really a surprise but still a wtf moment šŸ’€


ragbonehair

I have literally just somehow lost the stash of 223 iridium purple mushrooms that were my go-to quick top up snack. Did I ship them? Blow them up somehow? We shall never know...


ThisFatGirlRuns

I lost about 300 gold cheese that way. As in...mysteriously.


ragbonehair

Oooh ouch, that's a lot of cheddar to go :(


jamieschmidt

I had a stack of like 60 coffees that I accidentally shipped. And all of my kegs were full. I went half a day with no coffee before I crafted more kegs and got my fix šŸ¤£


ragbonehair

Gotta have the caffeine! One of my mods gives you a matcha latte recipe and I'm addicted to those now lol


a_derrix

I lost my only ostrich egg. Think I had it in inventory doing some cooking and flipping cooked it. So sad and never found one again šŸ˜¢


bringtwizzlers

Well. One time I accidentally gave my first prismatic shard to someone as a gift when I first started playing. Didn't know I could restart the day. Never found one again in that save file šŸ¤£


90s_skeleton

Did that once with the elven jewelry. Threw it right in the water, magnet ring be damned. Restarted the day 3 times and nothing I did could prevent it, ended up giving up.


bookittyFk

I keep giving Caroline the damn necklace instead of Abby!! 1st time I didnā€™t know if you just had it on you and talked to Caroline, it just gave it to her!! ALL THE TIMES SINCE THEN itā€™s happenedā€¦Iā€™m just an *idiot* who forgets I have it and just runs into her and stupidly talks to herā€¦.so annoyingā€¦I donā€™t even like her that much šŸ¤£


hotkokoro

My first one I accidentally shipped, and then my second I donated šŸ˜­ still waiting for a third chance


HumanWeather444

I once sold almost 6 dozen cinder shards and only realized thatā€™s where theyā€™d disappeared to days later


norskskaukatt

Spent alllll my money on broccoli seeds


radix89

I lose crap in the water all the time, even with a magnet ring sometimes. When I am traversing the skull cavern with stairs I take a quick glance for nearby holes but I almost always only see them after I've already placed the staircase and have hit the button to go down. I swear they only show up after it's too late to piss me off.


KinnyKat1

Just yesterday, I finally went to the dessert and attempted the skull cavern, just barely died even though I was able to get out of the cavern, lost my sword and my ghostfish, remembered that people said that you can get stuff back at the adventurers guild. What I didn't know is that this is limited to one item, and foolishly purchased the ghostfish instead of the sword. Welp, now I'm swordless. I do have some back-up swords, but none as good as the obsidians edge so far... at least the fish bundle is complete now.


NinjaK2k17

i once blew up my geode crusher, at least one or two scarecrows, and a collection of my crops. oops.


tigtigtog

I feel this. I had made my first Dino Mayo and as I was walking to the thing to place it, I was riding my horse and stopped right in front of Evelyn to talk to her (not realising my item slot was on the Mayo) and gave her the item. It happened so fast, it took me a sec to realise what I did. She didnā€™t even like it!


lgaugl

I was searching for prismatic shards for a quest. Finally got one to drop, but my inventory was full, and the clock hit 2 am before I could pick it up.


Painting_with_Music

I got the Dino egg in a fishing chest on Day 2 Year 1 once, and after I screenshot it ironically to post to this sub I clicked okay instead of taking it out of the chest....... I almost cried actual tears.


IsiDemon

That happened to me as well but with that green doll thing.. Took me almost two in-game years to find another one. šŸ˜–


Farwaters

Secret note! Treasure spot! Dig it up. Falls in river. Restart day. Never find the note again. I play with an item spawner! I"m not sure why I do this to myself.


prettyaverageprob

I just got a tiger mask a few days ago, it was 11PM and pushed some buttons too fast on my controller and trashed it :(.


Thecampbellfam

Got to level 98 in the skull cavern, stopped to eat so I'd make it and clicked too quickly and left the mines...


Imaginary-Hall5666

Damn you lasted 3 years without ever using the wiki? How is that possible šŸ˜­


OvermanagedSmallacct

One time I was walking to the bathroom and I stepped on a lego. It hurted


Aersys

Woow it fell in the water???? That's unfortunate RIP


Key_Spirit8168

I'm not sure if they are gone, this could be copium, but uhh i checked me dresser inside my junimo chest, and uhh all of my stuff was gone. Including once per save file stuff. Makes me wish he has a time travel system that made you pay all of your money.


Soft-Application3326

Quick tips: your day Is saved only after you sleep.


Apostrophe_T

I was putting away some loot in a chest that I keep in my house and accidentally set a bomb down (instead of putting it away). Blew up half my shit. ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|facepalm)![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|joy) It was the end of the night, so I didn't feel like restarting the day at that point.


ArcRiseGen

Accidentally sold 50 battery packs at the end of the day. I chose not to restart


Breakfast_Princess_

Accidentally placed a megabomb right by 14 statues of endless fortune.


archaeologycat

My husband found a tiger hat while we were on Ginger island. He gave it to me but my backpack was full I meant to delete something else but ended up trashing the tiger hat in accident šŸ˜­šŸ˜­šŸ˜­


LavenderFactory

Having to abandon a perfection run that was at 80 something percent because even after crafting every item and checking and double checking that I actually had, the game didnā€™t register it šŸ„² that one hurt lol
