Mushroom Cave vs Fruit Bat Cave

I've rewritten this post like four seperate times to the point i thought I had already posted it BUT I have not! Lucky ducky me!

I have been curious about which cave is technically better, especially since I see a lot of people are deadset on it being the fruit bat cave when I am a mushroom cave defender, so I am going to compare the two here!

What is the cave that you normally pick when you start a new save?

Divider Credit

Mushroom Cave

Pros:

Six boxes + A dehydrator

Spawns mushrooms even if theyre out of season

Spawns Common Mushroom, Red Mushroom, Purple Mushroom, Chanterelle and Morel

Helpful for Fall Foraging Bundle, Dye Bundle, Exotic Foraging Bundle, and Field Research Bundle

Helpful for crafting Life Elixir and Fall Seeds (and in turn, tea saplings)

Helpful for cooking Fried Mushroom, Tom Kha Soup, and Stir Fry

Purple Mushroom is a loved gift for the Wizard

Can make dehydrated mushrooms

Isn't obsolete after growing fruit trees

For sure produces every other day

You can customize your cave without risk of it

Helpful for three quests, all three reoccuring

Helpful for 9 unique fishpond quests, 11 total, which are as follows:

Common Mushroom: 2-3 from Bullhead, Largemouth Bass, Midnight Carp or Woodskip

Red Mushroom: 2-3 from Catfish, Spookfish or Woodskip

Purple Mushroom: 2-3 from Catfish, Rainbow Trout, Spook Fish, or Super Cucumber

Cons:

Mushrooms are always normal quality, even with Botanist Profession

Harvesting Mushrooms doesn't award any foraging XP

Other Areas Mushrooms Can Spawn:

Common Mushroom: Fall Season, Fall Seeds, Secret Woods in Spring and Fall, and Tapping a Mushroom Tree

Red Mushroom: The Mines, Secret Woods in Summer and Fall, and Tapping a Mushroom Tree

Purple Mushroom: The Mines, Tapping a Mushroom Tree in Summar and Fall

Chanterelle: Secret Woods in Fall

Morel: Secret Woods in Spring

Total Number of Pros: 16 Total Number of Cons: 2 Difference: 14 points

Fruit Bat Cave

Pros:

Can spawn up to 50 fruit.

Spawns fruit even if they're out of season

Spawns Cherrys, Pomegranate, Peach, Apple, Orange, Spice Berry, Apricot, Wild Plum, Blackberry, and Salmonberry

Helpful for Artisan Bundle, Enchanter's Bundle, Fodder Bundle, Summer Foraging Bundle, and Fall Foraging Bundle

Helpful for crafting Summer Seeds and Fall Seeds

Helpful for cooking Cranberry Candy, Fruit Salad, Plum Pudding and Blackberry Cobbler

Provides Loved Gifts for Elliott (Pomegranate), Robin (Peach), and Gus (Orange)

Can make wine, jelly, and dried fruits

Fruit can be of any quality

You benefit from the botanist profession and the gatherer profession

You earn foraging XP

Helpful for 4 quests (3 reocurring)

Cons:

Cannot customize cave as that reduces the amount of tiles where the fruit can spawn, even if it is crafted flooring.

After growing fruit trees it becomes, essentially, obsolete. Especially with the green house.

Not collecting fruit reduces the amount of fruit that can spawn overnight. For example if you have no fruit there is a 48% chance of NO new fruit spawning, but if you have ten fruit in it that chance raises to 54%

Not used in any fish pond quests

No guarentee that fruit will spawn overnight.

Other Areas Fruit Can Spawn:

Cherry: Cherry Tree in Spring (year round in greenhouse)

Apricot: Apricot Tree in Spring (year round in greenhouse)

Peach: Peach Tree in Summer (year round in greenhouse)

Orange: Orange Tree in Summer (year round in greenhouse)

Pomegranate: Pomegranate Tree in Fall (year round in greenhouse)

Apple: Apple Tree in Fall (year round in greenhouse)

Salmonberry: Bushes throughout the valley on days 15-18 in Spring.

Blackberry: Bushes throughout the valley on days 8-11 in Fall, Fall Seeds (growin in fall or year round if planted in Greenhouse)

Spice Berry: Foraging in Summer, Summer Seeds (grown in summer or year round if planted in Greenhouse)

Wild Plum: Foraging in Fall, Fall Seeds (grown in fall or year round if planted in Greenhouse)

Total Number of Pros: 12 Total Number of Cons: 5 Difference: 7 points

Drew vampire Harvey for @lion-byte! Fun fact he is a fruit bat vampire. Much like wallace and the curse of the were rabbit, your farmer will catch this bugger in your harvest.

Personally, considering there’s little mushroom trees that will sometimes spawn… I found the bats to be the most useful choice of investment to have made PLUS to mention, it’s helped me with adding to the community center, having more options for keg/preserve jars, gifts etc ☺️ also if you choose to increase your skill sets for foraging then the fruit you get from choosing the bats in the farm cave is also a nice form of passive income 💰 ( My personal opinion on why I believe the cave bats are best )

Just some thoughts 💭

A fruit bat leaving fruit inside the cave for @buneybaby !

I took some creative liberty with this one but I hope that‘s okay :)

I kinda see this as a follow up to the first illustration I made and I thinks I’ll call it the Medieval Stardew Collection! (We will se about that though)

Stardew Mod Ideas I'm Working On

(And a few I'm thinking about)

1. Skylar NPC (WIP)

This is just me adding my farmer OC into Stardew as a friendable NPC. I started it as a personal thing for fun, but then people convinced me to actually share it so

Completed Things

Ridgeside Village Compatability

Generic Dialogue

A basic schedule

Gift Tastes

Festival Additions

Festival Dialogue

Dynamic Outfits (Seasonal/Location Based)

Sprite Animations

Things I need to add

Movie and Concession Tastes

Movie Dialogue

Dynamic Dialogue

Dynamic Schedule (don't want them hanging out in their friends' houses if you married their friends)

Schedule/Animation Dialogue

Heart Events (Still working on backstory/storyline details)

A map for their farm house (Sky just lives with Victor right now)

Compatability with East Scarp?

Compatability without Ridgeside Village (I made it to work with both Expanded and Ridgeside Village. Expanded is necessary, but RSV shouldn't have to be)

Future Plans

Adding Rhys the Fruit Bat as an NPC (I see many of you are fond of him)

Adding an event with Abby post her family event

Dynamic Festival Dialogue

Compatability with following mods

2. Foods I really want rn

(Call it a working title if you will.)

This mod is me adding foods that I like to the game. Most of it being Asian dishes + a few drinks I like.

Featuring

Foods

Spring Rolls

Summer Rolls

Pho

Bánh Mi

Bao Buns

Tofu (not sure if this is part of another mod already or not)

Green Bean Cassrole

Lychee Jelly

Chocolate

Potato Soup

Drinks

Hot Chocolate

Mocha

Peppermint Hot Chocolate

Peppermint Mocha

Peppermint Tea

Crops I'll probably need to add

Soybeans (Maybe? Might also be in another mod)

Mint

Carrots

Cucumber

Lychee

Persimmon

Cocoa Bean

That's all I've got for that one. It will take me a lot of research so it's very much on the back burner for now.

3. Rival Heart Events

I've gotten kind of fond of these for other characters so I figured it would be fun to do it for mine.

Featuring

Sam and Sky

Lance and Sky (Don't expect anyone to use this. I mean why wouldn't you want to date him yourself)

Sam, Lance and Sky (don't expect this to be used for the same reason as above)

Victor and Sky (but Queerplatonically)

Each of these contains a few events and schedule/dialogue changes for the characters involved, eventually resulting in them moving into Sky's farmhouse.

4. Add Lance to Festivals (WIP)

I know Lance joins festivals when you're married, but since I'm making rival heart events, I think it would be cool to add him in once he reaches 6 hearts like some of the other NPCS.

This also leaves him open for more dynamic dialogue.

Featuring

Generic Dialogue

Dating Dialogue

Engaged Dialogue

Married Dialogue

Rival Heart Dialogue

Addition to Resolution of Embers Festival

Commentary from Skylar

Here are some images from when I was testing. (Please ignore their incorrect positions and the fact they Skylar's sprite is wrong lmao)

Skylar's Spirit's Eve Dialogue

Lance at Festivals Dialogue

5. Skylar to NPC Adventures (Almost Complete)

I know I've talked about this one before, but adding Skylar as a companion for the NPC Adventures mod!

Featuring dialogue for multiple locations including Vanilla Areas and Expanded.

Currently working on adding dialogue for Ridgeside and East Scarp, and determining if Skylar should be a spiritual pacifist (keeps monsters from attacking for a period of time) or a warrior to help with combat.

6. Kent to NPC Adventures (low-key abandoned wip, but I might pick it back up)

Same thing as above tbh, but for Kent because he's a member of the Adventurer's Guild and my dad and I want to go on expeditions and fish, and he deserves it! [End rant]

Things I still need to do

Write dialogue for more locations (difficult because I don't see Kent as someone who talks a lot)

Add a fishing animation (idk how to do this, someone please help if you know)

That's all I have going right now. I hope this was enlightening for anyone who was curious.

it’s george’s birthday. i have a nice silver quality pomegranate with his name on it. i deliver it straight to him, he smiles and says thank you for remembering his birthday. he IMMEDIATELY follows it up with “how can two men get married? it’s not natural! i guess i’m just old fashioned.”

that’s cold.

#stardew valley #after i gave him such a nice pomegranate that i spent so long on! #i definitely grew it myself and it definitely didn’t spawn out of nothing in my fruit bat cave #anyway i’m fucking your grandson george you can’t do anything to stop me

[xbittersweet-nostalgiax]

Signs I have been playing Stardew Valley for too long: I saw on my phone's lockscreen that it was Friday irl and I got excited bc traveling cart shopping day

#stardew valley #sdv traveling cart #i need more fruit for the artisan bundle #i picked mushroom cave instead of bats this time

[sharky857]

Not only I stole his baby girl, now I'm about to end this man's whole bank account too. uwu

#stardew valley #sdv #stardew pierre #sdv pierre #pierre stardew valley #pierre sdv #sharky's stunning skills at gaming #As a mostly-forager I flippin' love Blackberry Season(TM) #every single day I scour the whole valley looking for every single bush and ending up with 2-3 berries/bush #not to mention the single ones I would still find laying around #and also: my widdle cave is a widdle house for fruit bats. Berries are a fairly common ''gifty'' from them too~ #not to mention they're always of the ''iridium'' quality because I'm max rank in foraging (and other skills too) #and I also found some bear that went full ''WOOSH! now all wild berries shall carry MOAR GROFIT'' #so all this summed up makes the reason why I thrive more on foraged (and fished) stuff than harvested. 😂 #(I also hit almost 70k gold this time.) #(But I quickly spent almost of it in the last Vault bundle + a pickaxe Gold-update & a stardrop from Krobus)

[doggirling]

wanting to choose the fruit bats just because i love fruit bats but knowing im gonna have to choose mushrooms because its the better choice in basically every way

#if we could change the cave type i would've picked fruit bats to start off but i know its permanent so 💔 bye bye bats #also have i shown my sir arthur savefile on here yet. i dont think so #mooing #stardewing #im making that my stardew valley tag btw just so i dont spam the main tag lol

[wendighouligan]

Stardew valley mid maxer: I completed the community center on fall 26th, YEAR 1!! and also made 3 MILLION gold by the end of the year!!! what have YOU accomplished in that amount of time??!?

me: i put a heater in my fruit bat cave so the bats dont get cold during winter :)

#stardew valley #sdv #stardew #stardew valley shitpost

[three-penguins-in-a-trench-coat]

Lewis visits the Stardew Valley Farm every night. What kinda funky shit do you think he sees?

I mean, Lewis visits the farm every night to see if the Farmer wants to sell anything. Which is kinda weird, I mean, why do they have it set up like this? Why does the freakin mayor have to go to the farm and sell that shit? Who does he sell it to???

Anyways, imagine how much stuff he sees that just freaks him the fuck out.

He's grabbing Ancient Fruit Wine Bottle No. #12903 from the bottomless pit that is the shipping bin and the Farmer just teleports from out of nowhere, covered in blood, holding an equally bloody hammer that's glowing and a backpack full of rocks. Somehow I don't think Lewis would find that very live laugh love.

On another night, he gets drive-by cursed by a green lady on a fucking broomstick that makes his kneecaps backwards for 3 days. And then there was this one time where monsters rose out of the ground and started chasing him around the farm, until they finally crumbled to dust at around 2 in the morning. Lewis's sanity slowly crumbles day by day. He walks around the town like a war survivor, eyes staring off into the distance. Until, one day, he decides he's had enough.

Lewis starts to come prepared. He started working out with Alex, and following guides of old Kung Fu VHS tapes George gave him. He bought a sword from Clint (using the tax money, of course. They were purchases that would benefit of the whole town) and began bringing it with him to the farm. Stone golems? Lewis shat all over them. Escaped aliens? He mopped them up before breakfast time.

Nothing could flinch him. He would patrol around Pelican Town all day, sword strapped at the waist like a geriatric guardian. Nothing could faze him. Lewis didn't even bat an eye when the shadow people invaded Pelican Town. He just downed Gus's entire liquor supply and flogged their asses back to the mines. Within a few months, he was outlifting Alex, and looking good while at it. Marnie was quite happy with the new Lewis 2.0.

One time, a photography crew was sent out to do a photoshoot of him for their new 60+ Dating App Silver&Single. It was an instant success, but Lewis decided to turn down all other requests to become an elderly model. He couldn't bear the thought of anyone else running the gauntlet to the shipping bin. No, that was his duty. Lewis swore that until the day he died, he would protect the town from harm, no matter what the Farm threw at him. As mayor, he would defend their hidden home, day in, day out.

The Farmer thought it was quite amusing that Lewis decided to become swole enough to make Dwayne Johnson jealous, simply to sell some vegetables. They offered to deliver the goods straight into the town so Lewis didn't have to fight for his life every single night, but he turned down the offer. For the first time, he truly felt what it was like to be alive.

Actually, there was one moment where he did consider it. He was strolling past the fish pond the farmer built after destroying that night's batch of abominations, when a salmon popped it's head out of the water. "Hey, you! Got any gemstones? The boys are hungry and I aint got any left. Help a fellow daddy out?"

Lewis didn't drink any more after that night.

Okay let’s figure this out

#stardew valley #sdv #sepulchritudinous

[rate-every-bat]

Today's bats: Stardew Valley

Suprisingly, Stardew Valley has a variety of bats to review! You can house fruit bats in the cave on your farm, and fight several aggressive bat species in the mines.

Environmental Impact: The fruit bats on the farm are an important source of hard-to-acquire fruits in earlier game states. As for the mine bats, I'd imagine the variants on floors 31-39 are keeping the aggressive bug populations down, as well as forming guano deposits that the farmer could harvest for fertilizer (get on it, modders).

🦇🦇/5

Beauty: I love the variety of the sprites here, though I can't say they map easily onto real-life bat species. I particularly like the Dangerous Bat variant, they give me Mothman vibes.

🦇🦇🦇/5

Power: These bats can pack a punch. I'd love to know more about the biology of the Lava Bats, as they occupy a pretty hostile environment. Maybe the more dangerous variants are vampiric bats that attempt to feed on the farmer's blood, which is why they deal more damage? However, vampire bats in real life use cattle as their food sources, and don't bite humans unless provoked.

🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇/5

Overall: It breaks my heart every time I have to raise a weapon against these beautiful creatures, but my community bundles would be forever barren without their hard work.

🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇/5

how is the Lance plushie going?

Hi! Thanks for the ask. I've cut out a piece for the belt and for the straps on his shirt, but other than that I haven't worked on him 😅

I was actually just looking over at my coffee table where he's laying and thinking about how I should work on it (although I probably won't rn because I want to play Dragon Age)

I did catch the little fruit bat dog sniffing at him the other day though. I had to explain that while Lance is indeed a snack, he's not one for big stinky babies. This was a mistake as the word snack made Rhys all the more excited to eat something so I gave him some pumpkin to keep him occupied and Lance was spared.
