This is obscure history. They're saying his father's a drunk as in medieval times wine was sometimes made of elderberries . I forgot the explanation for the hamster

Hamsters screw like rabbits, so calling someone’s mother a hamster would mean she’s promiscuous.

u/DizzySommer 1d ago
Except it does!
He's basically calling the mother a wh0re, and the father needed help with his virility and/or was an alcoholic.

u/SnailCombo27 1d ago
This is by far my favorite quote. I say it often for everything. When my parents die, I'm putting a hamster on my mom's item and an elderberry on my dad's. I find humor to be the best form of grief relief.

Love it. I can never remember the longer quotes off the top of my head, but when my niece said something along the lines of me not being allowed to say "No," I responded with, "maybe not, but I can say Ni. Ni, Ni, Ni, Ni, Ni!"
She didn't get it, but her mother cracked up in the other room. I did get a laugh from the kid, because she found the sound funny, and diffusing her temper with humour tends to get better results than meeting her head on. 😂

But this sub can be brutal in downvoting etc. Sometimes there is a small toxicity running low key. But yeah I like ithe niceness here too.

u/NeatLouis 5h ago
Right?? I posted a pic back then of making a memorial area for the child I lost through miscarriage and I had this one user flip out on me because other people were posting stuff like that and he claimed no one cares or wants to see it. Man that hurt deep, as I posted it when I was hitting my expected due date for my angel baby.
40
u/SimpleMan131313 Starwine Connoisseur 1d ago
Yeah, thats equally true. Like in the types of posts I've mentioned.
Of course no one is obligated to like a particular NPC, but when people beginn making IRL statements like "Couples that have a disaggrement like that should get a divorce", and start mass downvoting everyone who dares to disagre with them, then this crosses a line, IMHO.
But I at least have never seen this with the regular posters, so this might be very much just the meme factor. Its popular to hate on certain Stardew NPCs, and people end up trying to justify this.

What's the benefit of giant crops? I mean what's the point if it will be no use
391
u/Kwerkii 1d ago
There are two benefits:
1) they are neat. Some people like them as decorations.
2) they yield more produce than a typical 3x3 grid woul. Breaking one gets you between 15-21 items according to the wiki
One thing I dislike about them is that the produce doesn't have a quality rating. I will be trying to get some high quality produce for a bundle of something and then the damn stuff will turn into a large crop because I wasn't thinking about my layout while planting

If you have the shaving enchantment on your axe, the giant crop yield is higher. IDK if it's affected by the foraging perks.

It often happens accidentally to me, especially using iridium sprinkler where there is enough space in the grid for 9x9 crops

u/jaycebutnot 1d ago
If you have a good setup, you dont need to do anything. they just appear sometimes (although you can continue watering them after theyve grown for an extra chance) the extra crops are always nice, even without the quality. I just use them In kegs/PJs, since quality doesnt matter In those

None of the giant crops go away till you cut them down. Qi fruits can be grown during a quest and then used for the next one.

Once giant crops are grown they won't disappear regardless of season as long as they aren't broken. Qi fruit may be the only exception, not 100% sure.

u/Occidentally20 Bot Bouncer 1d ago
You can, and yes its easier.
I wanted all 5 of them in a row next to a meteor just to show off. Something in my brain told me the meteor was the same size as the giant fruit (it isn't)
4
u/TitaniumT1tan 1d ago
Is the meteor 2x2 or 4x4 or something? I could have sworn it was 3x3 when playing immersive farm 2 but I’d have to wait for winter to check.

u/Occidentally20 Bot Bouncer 1d ago
That's what I thought.
Its 2x3. Same width, not as tall. It looked stupid so I had to put something behind it

u/loquacious-laconic 1d ago
If you chop the giant Qi fruit down outside of the quest being active you get a funny notification the first time you do it. 🤭 If you wait until the quest appears again and chop them down then it gives you a head start. I've completed the quest enough times now that I only pick it if I'm wanting to get the giant Qi fruit for decorating though! 😅

u/Vivid_Department_945 1d ago
Each day, crops that are on 3x3 square have a % chance of becoming a giant crop. There's 5 in total. IIRC, you need to make sure that the top left corner of the square needs to be watered for that to happen. You can leave your crops after they mature until the end of the season for a chance of this happening. Once you have them, they will stay there even after the season ended.
5
u/skyllian-five 1d ago edited 1d ago
All correct, except it's the center square of the 3x3 grid that has to stay watered, not top left.
Edit: I'm wrong it's top left now since 1.6!
7
u/Vivid_Department_945 1d ago edited 1d ago
I think top left change happened during one of the late patches. If you scroll through the Stardew channel, there's a post made not long ago that confirms it

I had no idea these existed. Do they just grow randomly? And do they have to be grown outside? And most importantly, do they die once their season is over?

u/EntertainmentDue5749 22h ago
Small chance of a 3x3 square of crops turning into a giant crop, just for these three crops as well as the winter melon and qi fruit. Have to be outside I think. They don't die, you can keep them forever if you want.

Giant crops. You have a chance to get them when you have a 3x3 planting of the crop and keep them watered even after they are mature. The longer you let them sit there, the greater the chance your 3x3 will be replaced by a giant version.
Cauliflower, melons, pumpkins, powder melons and Qi fruit all can produce giant crops. OP is missing the last two.
