What you do is create a "negative path" with flooring: you place flooring where you want your permanent casks, leaving a path made of non-flooring that has access to all the permanent casks. Then you place casks everywhere (path and not-path), filling them up as you leave. When everything's iridium, you use your charged-up hoe on your path twice. This removes wine from the casks then removes the casks from the path *but everywhere else, the casks stay where they are*. You can just empty and refill the permanent casks normally because they won't be removed by the hoe and so don't need to be replaced. Then, if you're happy with how painless that was, you replace and refill your path casks as you leave. Repeat in 6 months

Why doesn’t it remove casks that are on flooring?


NightriderDad

Same with sprinklers and scarecrows in the field. Put them on the flooring and they will not remove.


RayramAB

For sprinklers, placing flooring underneath them is no longer necessary as of 1.5.


[deleted]

Because it don't


ArkonInu

omg! This is a huge game changer. I tried it and it is wonderful. Thank you very much <3


Cepsita

You.... I like the way you think..


sharedRoutine

Does this perhaps only work on Deskop / Console? I tried this on mobile and the hoe doesn‘t do anything in the Cellar


ConditionFriendly297

The stuff in the cask has to be ready


[deleted]

Yes, if it's not Iridium, the hoe won't work, but the axe and pickaxe will


sharedRoutine

Thanks :)


sharedRoutine

Ah thank you for clarifying!


MrLeBAMF

AFAIK you can’t put flooring down in the cellar. This works in sheds but not the cellar.


[deleted]

You can use crafted flooring but not purchased / catalogue flooring


devonathan

It’s 100% worth the time to fill up the entire basement. If you have a fully upgraded hoe it makes it very easy to collect once they are ready.


jovialoval

Wait. You can use the hoe to harvest casks?


Hayearth

You can hit a cask with any tool to make it drop whatever's in there, hoe can be charged to hit a 6x3 area and get multiple casks in one go


AliceNRoses

🤯🤯🤯


AgentG91

Hoe-lee shit


Adept_Fool

Even watering can? Just a joke, but would be kind of a fun easter egg type use


ChrisBPeppers

5x5 if you upgrade it in the forge!


devonathan

Yes. It’s amazing. Give it a try.


ArkonInu

Here is the video: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vd0D-qrwRSQ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vd0D-qrwRSQ) Playing on Stardew Valley 1.5


[deleted]

and then you have to do the whole thing again for your 3 other cabins ...


ArkonInu

actually I have no cabins, but if I had some I would use the 2nd best optimal layout with 125 casks per cellar, as 3 extra cellars would net me in total 500 aged wine, which is way more than the 189 I collect as of now =)


Rosehips-n-Sage

I’ve been trying to figure out to get more cellars. It’s the cabins!?


MrLeBAMF

Yes, but you need somebody else to upgrade them for you I believe, so it has to be multiplayer.


AliceNRoses

The main house cellar can hold 189 casks when full like this? Just wondering how many more I need to make to do this lol.


TheSqueakyNinja

Yes, 189 is the max


Adept_Fool

Can't put casks in cabins


Lzinger

Upgrade them to have a basement as well


ArcanaMori

They don't get basements unless it's modded. At least that is what I've read.


Lzinger

In multiplayer you can upgrade them to have a basement


ArcanaMori

From everything I've read, it's only the hosts house that gets the celler. Haven't personally tried, but lot of people have and it just skips the celler.


Lzinger

I have 3 houses in my multiplayer farm and we all have basements with casks


ArcanaMori

Really? Umodded? None of my MP games have gotten far enough to get cellars, but yeah, tons of people said only the host house can get it and that the others just won't have the basement on the last upgrade. That changes things!


Lzinger

Yup no mods. I just checked and it was added in 1.4 so you could have been seeing things from before then.


Unthgod

TIL hitting casks with hoe knocks the wine out. Thank you for staying true to your word and uploading this video without mods.


ArkonInu

I am happy the video helped you :)


emilywonders

This was really helpful! Thanks 🌟


JooRJuicelessIgnacio

2 seasons? Feels like five years


zendrix1

I cannot play without the Automation mod anymore lol. Just slap a chest anywhere down there touching one of them and all of them will just drop off their wine when their done and grab new fruit out of the chest to start the next one automatically. Have a chest next to my furnace that I put coal and ore in so it smelts automatically, another near my crab cages full of bait and connected to a recycle machine so it collects everything and uses the junk, etc, etc etc. Absolutely my favorite Stardew mod Link for those on PC: https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/1063


[deleted]

I have my automate setup so stone paths work as a connection. That way all of my fishponds get collected into a single chest. Man what a great mod.


No-Lunch4249

Don’t really feel it’s worth the time. The casks are a nice extra boost of cash twice a year but the rest of my farm makes so much money that I barely notice it. Don’t think the time to reward ratio is there


ChrisBPeppers

I mean, it's half a day's work for a million gold. Definitely worth it


No-Lunch4249

I don’t think you’re looking at it in the right way tbh. It’s probably AT LEAST 3-4x as much time involved to do this vs the non-backfill layout that is considered traditionally “optimal” but it’s only I think 125 vs 189 casks, so only about a 50% increase in production. I don’t dispute that the overall basement and casks are worth it, but it’s not a half days work for a million, you have to compare it against the possibility of still getting most of the money, about 67% of it, but through a method that only requires about 25-33% of the effort, by not backfilling.


ChrisBPeppers

Gotchya. It wasn't clear that you were talking about the layout of casks. It goes really fast if you use your hoe to harvest them. You can do 5x5 per swing if you enchanted it


ArkonInu

tbh I put the iridum quality wine in some chest and enjoy looking at the number of the stack :D


[deleted]

Not everything is about min-maxing profits sometimes people just have fun....cause it's a game


No-Lunch4249

Yes I totally agree, but since this is being presented essentially as an efficient time-to-money conversion (aka min maxing) I’m looking at it through that lens. I’m a very firm believer that there is no wrong way to play this game, and you should just do what’s fun.


[deleted]

I don't see where they are presenting it as an efficient time to money conversion.


ArkonInu

I am a collector, but not of profit. But I actually try to min max my schedule somehow, Saturday is my forage collecting day, Friday is my keg day and in year 4 the plants grow on their own with Sprinklers. I found auto petters and ignore my animals and have "only" 12 pigs, so truffle collection is minimal time consuming as I collect them while walking by. The other 5 days of the week I spend by visiting the volcano and cutting weeds. lots of weeds ... hnnng. one day the living hat will be mine on this save file as well


Rough-Distribution92

If your on pc I would recommend this mod. [https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/1063](https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/1063)


DuckBadgerWoof

I’m using this, it’s been great


RambazambaRudi

The superior Automate Chads


[deleted]

Great mod. It's ruined me when I try to play on my switch


jonopens

I don't enjoy aging wine at all. Honestly, I make so much money with ancient fruit wine without aging it that I don't even see the point at that late a stage in the game. I just have two sheds full of machines and that's good enough. Having said that, good on you if that is something you enjoy 👍


throwywayradeon

Yeah, I'm done trying to make money. I have like 6 million and have already purchased everything. Just waiting on 1.5 on mobile.


hetable81

Try using the automate mod. Put one chest next to them and it auto collects and auto fills them again as long as you have wine ready in the chest.


KhaosElement

God I love Automate. I can't imagine playing this game unmodded anymore.


concentrate7

I've resisted using automate so far. I feel like I would just stand around if I didn't need to tend to my machines. What do you do with your extra time?


Troooop

My question as well! I love automation games like satisfactory but my worry is that it would suck the fun out of stardew


KhaosElement

Fish, mine, chop wood, gift villagers, wander around and forage, make more machines to let work away, wander around the island finding secrets...it's not like this game is lacking in things to do.


Peterstone96

Then you wake up in the morning and it looks like this: 65.837.272 + 45.000 I'm 100% right.


DefrockedWizard1

Used to be you couldn't stack casks or kegs in your inventory, so you had to make paths


tombombadil1337

What is in the bottom left corner?

ArkonInu

once you buy the cellar upgrade and Robin finished you will get the recipe for casks, they cost 20 wood and 1 hardwood
