  • I typically focus first on things that give me more iridium: pickaxe (faster mining), crystalariums (jade = staircases and ruby = spicy eels), iridium band (big upgrade over either magnet or glowstone ring).

    Then I upgrade the other important tools (axe, hoe, water can) and get iridium sprinklers, depending on which is more pressing in a certain playthrough. I only upgrade stuff like the pan or the trash can when I don’t know what to do with iridium any more.





  • It’s the first winter. My farm is still barebones but starting to take shape:

    It’s still missing a lot of stuff:

    • obelisks - I don’t have enough money
    • Junimo huts - I need starfruit, and my Ginger farm is full of strawberries for seed makers for spring
    • sprinklers - I need batteries, and for batteries Caroline needs to request that special order for solar panels
    • sprinkler nozzles - Qi’s quests simply take a lot of time.

    but overall I’m pleased at the quick progress.





  • They aren’t different sources of info, but parts of the same process. And they’re three:

    1. The utterance. Like you said, the words and how they’re arranged and such.
    2. Your internalised knowledge. It’s all that bundle of meanings that you associate with each word, plus your ability to parse how those words are arranged.
    3. The context. It’s what dictates how you’re going to use your internalised knowledge to interpret the utterance; for example, selecting one among many possible meanings.

    Without any of those three things, you get 0% of the info. They’re all essential.

    So no, it is not solipsistic at all, since it depends on things outside your head (the utterance and the context), and those are shared by multiple individuals.
