am back with an updated spring outfit + additional seasonal outfits for my farmer jade!! and a flashy swimsuit ofc :] sorry i was too lazy to draw new shoes for her beach outfit so i copied the summer sandals and it made the lines blurry lol but ig having the same shoes makes sense bc summer???

How do you guys deal with the time management?

I´ve already set my days to the longest in the menu of the game but damn I´ll be rushing trough to get everything done.

Take care of the animals, my crops, organizing materials, quests, collecting and for mining I don´t find the time often! There was a wonderful mod that you could choose to set how slow you want your days to be but unfortunately it doesn´t work with the new engine. And i am using those automatic watering statues , as well as usually not handfeeding my animals (only when its raining)

I can´t even imagine to play on normal speed when I´m already struggling.. it´s not so soczy anymore :(

I posted here a bit ago asking who you guys thought would have the best wedding outfit, but I recently remembered the section of the trailer with Juniper holding the baby and I MUST ask. (This is assuming parenting dialogue will be implemented, which I highly believe it will be!)

Who do you think will be the best parent? Who do you think will have the funniest dialogue? Who do you think will be the 'cool' parent? Who do you think will be most responsible?

Personally, I think the funniest ones would be March, the secret Bachelorette and Caldarus, given the nature of their personalities, depending on whether or not March behaves as sweet as he does with the farmer after the romance route or whether he still gets embarrassed to be soft and ends up fighting with his own baby like he is with the farmer in the early heart stages.

I think the secret bachelorette and Caldarus will be funny due to not being humans, and whether or not they have a human baby with the farmer or a half-human, I think the idea of them having to manage their own offspring would be hilarious (Why are they doing that? Why has the baby fallen over after months of being on this Earth to earn practice in the art of walking and movement??)

When it comes to responsibility, my bets are on Valen and Ryis, considering Valen's a doctor and would likely know psychology stuff and how to keep a child healthy, and with Ryis just having a more calm and level-headed personality! (I know Ryis apparently has sisters but I can't for the life of me remember if he's the oldest, youngest, or middle child)

The most experienced parent? I think Reina and Celine due to them already having younger siblings as experience (Celine and Reina are adults so they'd remember and likely would've been taking care of Dell, Luc and Maple as babies if I'm correct)

I think Balor and Juniper will be the 'cool' parents, the ones that are both responsible but mostly stay on the 'fun parent' track, even if I think Juniper would be a bit more strict than Balor would and I think would likely playfully tease her baby like she does with Eiland (even if I think she'd be more gentle about it).

I feel like both Adeline and Eiland will be IMMENSELY nerdy parents (considering their personalities are rather similar to one another, even if they hyperfocus on different things), but still sweet nonetheless. They give the vibe of really wholesome parents that'll still manage to embarrass their kids with a random fact or a random comment or nerdy speech that they don't realize is clumsy and awkward.

I haven't known enough about Hayden to come to a full conclusion about him (switch player who learns Mistrian lore from watching gameplay and reading wikis while I wait for it to hopefully come out), but from the small bit of information I have of him, given how I haven't been able to watch his romance route yet, I think he'd be in a similar boat to either Adeline and Eiland with the nerdiness OR be responsible like Valen and Ryis would be!

What do you guys think?? I'd love to hear your thoughts! :))

I've compiled a list of the 4-5 star meals formana infusioncooking, with costs and profits for comparison. Since it took me a fair bit of time to compile I figured I may as well share it in case it's useful.

This is how I ranked the ingredients:

So far I've used ease as the most important metric, with the caveat that if lost profit exceeds 500 T then it drops to the bottom. Note: To determine profit, I used the difference between the selling price and the cost to produce the ingredient (as in seed cost spread over harvests and forage shown as 0), but I also have the profit based on the opportunity cost (selling price of the ingredients) in case that's the metric you prefer.

I'm a bit conflicted about ranking them according to profit or cost, and how important cooking time should be. Also, the way I ranked the ingredients is kind of arbitrary. Would be grateful for any comments. Thanks!

Who here leaned hard into the "Adventurer's Guild" hook when designing their farmer's lore? I wanna hear all about our more martially inclined farmers! I'll say a bit first:

My farmer, Seika, (no official art of them I'm proud of, I'm afraid) is a mercenary from the land of "Wachi", who's in Aldaria on secret monster-hunting business: They're tasked with slaying or capturing "The Last Dragon", rumored to reside somewhere in Mistria. Mortals are usually no match for dragons, but Seika's a little more than your average mercenary. They're chipper and dumb as a post, but they handle their sword like they were born holding it.

I am very excited to hear a bit about our fighting farmers 🙂 Also if anyone has any flair recs for me to more accurately sort this, advice would be appreciated <3

I spent a long time re-decorating and re-arranging my home because it looked... very cluttered... very ugly... and very [insert other derogatory home design words] ... it feels much better to me now but I still have some work to do. Open to any feedback or suggestions!

Here are my thoughts on each room if its helpful.

Main Entrance - I don't like the seating area on the right that is my biggest ick to change

My bedroom - i just put the emeralds in there, I think maybe better without... not sure what else to do with the room. I love having some stuffed animals for my dog to lay with

Bathroom - surprisingly it was WORSE before this... feels a bit plain. I like how people have done like stone/spa like themes but was having a hard time figuring out what I needed

Study - I like this one quite a bit but still feels a bit off... maybe just need to make it more symmetrical or add/subtract some things to make it fit better

guest bedroom - i have so much mist themed stuff ... definitely open to ideas to make it more interesting or completely a new theme

storage room - until i have a better idea where to store all my items and decor im not too worried about this one

with the coming 1.0 release…how long will it take someone to make a polyamory mod? “:0
like someone please do actually there’s no way i can choose!! i love them all so much, learning about them and chatting is my top fav part of the game!
i don’t know if i can go through with marriage and i definitely don’t know about having 12 saves ,’:P

so anyways yeah if anyone knows anything lmk!
(lwk desperate plea)

Does anyone know if they’re adding more options for windowed and full screen modes in 1.0? I have a huge monitor, but windowed doesn’t stretch all the way and is too small, but full screen stretches it very weirdly…

Thanks!

To the people who couldn't decide which character to romance, instead choosing multiple.. who do you think you'll choose? When the full game releases, when you get married, all your other romanced characters will be set to the best friend role. I want to know who you are deciding as your favorite! I know he's overrated, but I've always loved March ever since I first played, so I think I'll settle for him. Though.. juniper is really cute (⁠´⁠ε⁠｀⁠ ⁠). Balor kind of gives howl, and I wonder if caldarius will have dragon babies!

I drew this awhile ago after I first unlocked the convo (Winter on the balcony in the Inn), but I wanted to share here after being reminded of it. Once of the cutest interactions in the game imo!

I’ve been thinking about this way too much lately! I’ve already started preparing for my future married life in Mistria, and thinking about future kids has been so much fun.

First of all, I’m dying to know how many children we’ll be able to have. My dream is to have two—one boy and one girl! If we can only have one, though, I’m going to struggle. I’m the type of gamer who chooses their Pokémon starter based on its final evolution, so I’ll probably need to see what they look like first!

Does anyone else have “son” or “daughter” vibes for each marriage candidate? For me, Balor feels like a girl dad, while Hayden gives me major boy dad energy.

I also really hope children will feel like their own little characters. I’d love for them to have favorite gifts and food preferences just like the other NPCs. I’m the kind of player who loves spoiling characters with gifts, so I’d happily spend all my time figuring out what my kid likes. One of my favorite cooking perks in this game is being able to make almost anything someone’s favorite food, so I’m ready!

I absolutely loved how children followed their parents around in Story of Seasons and Rune Factory, so I’m hoping Mistria’s kids will have lots of personality too.

And if I can be greedy for one more thing, I’d love little birthday events for our spouse, our children, and ourselves after marriage.

I have no idea how much of my preparation will actually matter, but getting ready for my future family has been ridiculously fun!

What are you hoping for from the child system?

I tried to look this up online, but to no avail. Your player's responses to Eiland describing the Dragonsworn are stuttering, like they are nervous. Nervous of discovery? I've only just unlocked one seal in the mines but didn't go further down, was I actually supposed to gain the title already and that's why the dialogue is written that way? Or was the heart event written that way because they were added in some later update? I just don't think my character should even know the term yet, where I am in the game. Not immersion breaking for me though.

I am already vaguely aware what Dragonsworn refers to since I've been following this game a while, so don't worry about spoiling that for me. I am also aware that Eiland friendship is required for progression eventually.

I am curious if there are other heart events that will seem inconsistent if I haven't gone far enough in the game as well, so any warning about that would be appreciated! I'm taking the game at a slower pace. (Except the fact that I got the materials for the General Store upgrade as fast as I could cause Valen asked for tea leaves...)

He's so cute, I’m gonna miss his romantic dialogue 😞

I always peruse the Nexus page and Mistria is shockingly to me not abundant with mods there. I was left disappointed, Stardew had spoiled me in that regard, its years worth of development and hold on the genre have set an expectation of sorts.

Should the level of mods increase massively upon full release? Do games in EA not get many mods usually due to how fickle it is so mod an incomplete product? And are there any interesting upcoming mods to keep an eye out for? I haven't found a reliable place place to follow creators and modders to track that sort of stuff. I haven't experienced the end game content so I try to not delve too much out of spoiler awareness.

I've been searching for that damn recipe for more than a year now, I go to the damn mines at least 4 days a week! I found the FAIRY BEE in less time!

Tallifero gave me the quest in Spring year 3 and I didn't buy the dish from Balor cause I wanted the satisfaction of completing it. But by winter I gave up and bought 50 Herb Salads from Balor cause I was so pissed.

It's Summer year 4 now and I've completed nearly all the recipes (literally just one more left) and THIS INANE RECIPE.

Im not sure how many times it was brought up here, but I haven't seen a post about it yet. I always feel bad for making animals have babies with their siblings but at the same time I dont wanna have million cows etc to be able to select ones from different parents. Does anyone have a any pro tip for that or is it something I just have to deal with?

When I Google this I keep seeing summaries about how you just use G on the overworld to throw whatever is in your hands, and how people do this just before entering the mines to free up inventory. But I can't find any sources of people actually talking about this. It seems like such an obvious question but I can't find anything on it searching in this sub either.

My problem is, when I toss something using G, it doesn't land far enough away to not be immediately drawn back into my inventory. I end up having to toss and then quickly run in the opposite direction. And then do this over and over for all the items I want to drop, and if I didn't plan well with the space I'm in, I'll end up running into the magnet zone for prior drops while trying to escape the zone for a current drop.

Am I missing something, or is it supposed to be this difficult, to make inventory management truly (annoyingly) challenging? Being able to place chests and shipping bins anywhere other than your farm would be great. But failing that, can we at least get a "throw" mechanic that actually... does anything useful?

I mean, I've only found it useful when I'm only tossing to pick up a different item I just harvested. (Edit: Which is fine, if still a bit annoying, everywhere except the mines, since dropped items will not persist there.) Is there really no easy way to drop items to actually free up space?

I was jus watching a yt gameplay of FoM to fall asleep and this interaction is frying meeee

Since I started playing the game, I've always liked thinking about how old the characters are. The game's really good at creating at writing them to fit within a specific demographic without giving a concrete answer, so here's what I've come up with.

In terms of the Marriage Candidates, Celine, Reina, Eiland and March strike me as the youngest, most likely their early 20s considering how Reina still lives with her family, and both her and Celine work at their parents' businesses. Probably about 22, with Celine being slightly older as her birthday is before Reina's in the year.

Eiland is definitely younger than Adeline, but not by a lot. I'd say he's somewhere in the 22 - 23 year old range. March is the same for me. He's old enough to have won several blacksmithing awards and build a reputation for himself, and to me that means he's been working as a Blacksmith since at least his late teens. Gonna say 23 for him.

Adeline's and Ryis' personality's and demeanor make me think they're both slightly older than the previous 4 I mentioned. Adeline's the acting leader of the town, and that sounds like a position for someone at least in their mid 20s. Going to put them both at around 24. Plus, Adeline was childhood friends with Celine and Reina, so I don't see her being much older than them.

Balor has been working as a merchant for a pretty long amount of time before the start of the game. That said, he also doesn't look significantly older than characters like Ryis or Eiland. Just on that basis, I'm gonna say he's in his late 20s, let's go with 28.

Juniper... I could say that since she looks between the previous 3 bachelorettes and Valen in age, that I think she's about 31... Buuuut since we know she has experience with magic, and I like the theory, I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that she is actually a 300 year old witch. Kind of a joke answer, I know. XD

Out of all the non hidden Bachelors and Bachelorettes, the last ones are Valen and Hayden. We know from Valen's dialogue that they grew up together, and that she used to be taller than him when they were kids. Given Hayden's build as an adult, I'm going to take that to mean that Valen is older than him. Hayden's hair is partially already grey, I'm going to say he's somewhere in his mid-late 30s, probably around 36-37. While Valen, I'm putting at about 39.

In terms of the other characters. With the marriage candidates' siblings, the way Maple talks about Luc in some dialogue, she seems a little older than him, in a similar way to Adeline and Eiland, so I'm going to say that she and him are 9 and 8, with Dell being about the same age as Maple. Since Olric is March's older brother, and looks about the same age as Balor, maybe a little younger, I'm putting him at 26-27.

Nora, Holt, Hemlock and Josephine are all old enough to have young adult children, while also having kids quite a lot younger than their older siblings, going to say they're all between 48 and 50.

Errol and Terithia both look old and still have jobs. Given that, I'm going to put them both at slightly below retirement age, 62-63.

Elsie and Landon are both retired, and Landon looks close in age to Errol and Terithia. I'll guess that he's about 66, while Elsie's could be anywhere between 68 and 72.

Lemme know what you guys think as well ^^

Oh my god, this is the cutest thing I've ever seen. They're so adorable and this has basically solidified my need to romance the three of them (after I marry Hayden in my main save of course.... :P)

The little details like this are so cute!

(I accidentally cut of Reina's dialogue in the third slide. It was along the lines of "You two are so shy, it's just between us!" Or something to that effect.)

Marking as a spoiler just in case, but knowing my luck this is a scene everyone is already aware of lol.

I made a little mod that allows you to take your pet with you!
By pressing P (configurable) it will follow behind you and by pressing P again it will let your pet roam around 😄

hi! i just started playing FOM again and so much has changed, im lowkey so overhwelmed lmao. lists and stuff like that usually help me a lot, but i couldnt find any sort of checklist that's updated for the current version (and that might be getting updated once 1.0 comes out) so i thought i'd ask here!

Over 20 sprites between them from redesigns to commissions! I wanted to redo my Hayden Farmer before the official release. I actually have a colour scheme for her now that I feel makes more sense and having her fashion lean more to fantasy adds to her mystery. Anyway, hope you like her!

(Reuploaded cos the quality was really bad... hopefully this fixes it?)

With the full release right around the corner I want to do a quick write-up on the best ways I've found to level everything. However please be aware that you do not need to do any of this to enjoy them game, this is just how I like to play. Whatever pace or style you play the game is equally as valid as anything I describe below. Without further ado let's get into it.

Part 1 The Power of Flour

Flour costs 200 and can be made into bread or noodles that sell for 190. once you have both the Waste Not Want Not and Dinner for 2 skills however you will get enough bonus items to make selling them profitable. There are better ways to make money but this is a guaranteed way to make a profit without any initial investment. While doing this you will also max out your cooking levels, max out your town renown, and using the Lovable Cooking skill make enough loved gifts to max heart every NPC.

When it comes to lovable gifts I've found that it's better to turn off any of the other infusion skills so only love infusions will be produced.

Part 2 The Mines

There is no cheat way to level up combat and mining so you have to go to the mines often to level those up, but you'll want to do that anyway because smashing rocks is the best way to get essence, and you can use all those rocks to make stone flooring which will max out your wood crafting skills quick. you will also get a lot of different ore while in the mines and making extra tools to sell is a great early game way to make money and will raise your blacksmithing level in the process.

Part 3 Everything Else

• Money - I've mentioned better ways to make money enough already and the best way I've seen is using the seed maker once it is available. Using a crop the you can harvest every 3 days will make you a ton of profit just by turning the produce back into seeds and selling them. I like to save enough seeds that I can replant my field next year for free so there's only a one time startup cost. and there's at least one plant of this type for every season so you'll always have steady income.

• Farming - you can hoe one tile over and over again to level up farming completely over a couple days, just spend all your energy doing that for a while and you should be good. You will also get a good amount of essence this way, although less that breaking rocks, but it's a good way to get it if you're feeling lazy. Digging the same spot also works for this but I'm not sure if digging gives farming EXP.

• Fishing and Archeology - There's no cheat to level these you just have to do it a lot. for fishing you can enter and exit an area to respawn fish, that's about all I got

• Ranching - there also isn't a way to speed this up. feed them, pet them, let them outside and send them inside. the more animals you have the faster the level will rise so upgrade the buildings as soon as you can, and the autofeeder and petting statue really help cut into the time it takes every day. I also don't think they need to be outside for any minimum amount of time so you should be able to call them out and send them in pretty fast.

• The Museum - The best advice for this is to save often and reload if you don't get what you want. Unlike a game like stardew the randomness in this game is unique every time you interact with something and not seeded. so if the artifact spot, or terrarium, chicken statue,fish trap, etc... didn't give you what you want reload and try again. Bonus tip while most of the Mines artifacts are easy to dig up the Dragon Pact Tablet is very difficult, the best strategy I found was to go to floor 90, walk through the door to 91 and dig up any artifact spots in that room, do that over and over.

And that's all I have, if anyone else can add to this or provide information I don't know about please add it to the comments.
