Since I'm so proud of my farm, I'll put some more notes here to share the fun I had.

(By the way, does anyone know why there's a big banner for the main image saying, "Attention Required, Cloudflare"? Maybe that'll go away.)

This was my first playthrough. I tried to play mostly without spoilers, but later on I used a lot of predictor and checkup to get things like the final museum artifacts. I also used the farm planner to work out where to plant for giant vegetables - by this time the layout was mostly complete so I couldn't just plant a whole farm of pumpkins and wait for a month!

  • Actually I think I tried that first, in four corners where I had a little space, but then used the planner to see if I'd actually get anything within a year!
  • It was also single player. The cabins I added at the end to show some friends around.

It's functional too. The curved path of trees has tappers, one shed has kegs for alcoholic income, and the greenhouse is full of deluxe fertilizer to grow all crops to iridium quality. I can't display all the fish in ponds, but my house has every kind of fish in tanks, and between the plaza chests in the middle, and the top left shed, I believe I have at least one of practically every item or crop. (Only from v1.5 though.)

Also,

  • You can see who I married, not only by the top-right spouse's cubbyhole, but the central plaza feature in her honour. Sadly it looks like I didn't catch her outside for a screenshot.
  • The display at the top right is a sort of seasonal display for visitors (or customers?). Too bad the NPCs never actually come to visit!
  • No other maps/buildings are worth showing off, but I had some fun with them. Ginger island is currently growing a crop of some hundreds of sweet gem berries.
  • The animals are all named, but I want to share just my four rabbits: Flopsy, Mopsy, Cottontail and Peter.
  • And you'll see my proudest achievement just left of the house. Still haven't got its twin from JunimoKart, but I got so nearly there one time.
  • Finally you'll see some mahogany trees shifted a bit after Spring. I got a second meteor, and had to decide whether to break it up and replant the trees, or tear more down to incorporate it.

Spring

Summer

Autumn

Winter

A long time ago, (on a server far, far away), I uploaded the Spring screenshot of my completed farm. It took me a long time to get round to the Summer, Autumn and Winter screenshots, even delaying updating to 1.6 to not change anything!

I'm very pleased with Ambridges farm. It's my first and only completed playthrough, and the final farm layout started life as a show of fish ponds, and developed to include just about everything that can be on the farm.

I'll put a few more notes in the comments.

Well, with the new .ee community, now seems a good time to get up an post my farm, all four seasons! I hope you like it :-)

(Edit: I just saw that files on Catbox can't be reached from a bunch of countries. Not sure if the Lemm.ee proxying gets around that? If someone could let me know, then I can try and find somewhere else to upload the images. Any suggestions for a good image host?)

Do you make a beeping noise when you back out of the bathroom after?

Thank you for that link. I was puzzled though when I opened it and saw a cartoon elephant.

And what's he doing, spending money?

Multiple process or threads? And, why? in c/python@programming.dev
[–] milicent_bystandr@lemm.ee 2 points 5 days ago

I don't think so, there was some discussion about why writing Julia as a python transpiler wouldn't work as well. But it does supposedly have very good interoperability, both ways - calling Julia functions from Python or vice versa.

I require a small cottage at the end of the garden, and if you are to supply the holy water you will need to take appropriate care as to its transport in deion-shielded single-use containers.

For small, highly parallel operations, probably Python isn't the right language and something like Rust should be explored.

You could also try Julia, which, if I'm not mistaken, handles concurrency and parallelism well, but is also interactive and easy to write like python.

What do people here think of Nebula? (lemm.ee)
 

I've been playing around with self hosting for file sharing, backups, and a handful of other ideas I might one day get round to. I like the idea of a mesh VPN and being able to, for example, connect a travelling laptop to a 'host' laptop nearby, though my only public ip is a VPS in another country.

Of all the options I found, I liked the look of Nebula most. Fiddly in some places, but it's working nicely for me, and I appreciate some of the simplicity of design.

I'm wondering if people here have much experience of it, though? My biggest concern is over its future. With,

  1. The Defined Networking site focusing on making money off it, and
  2. The Android app doesn't allow full configuration (including the firewall, so I can't host a website from a phone) but - I heard - does if you use Defined Networking's paid service for configuration,

makes me worry they might be essentially trying to deprecate viable FOSS Nebula in favour of a paid or controlled service.

Any thoughts? Insight?

I finally watched Frozen 2 on the plane a few days ago. Did somebody pay Disney to shill for homeopathy?

Ambridges Farm, or, There's More to Life Than Fishing (lemmy.ml)
 

Hi I've been gradually finishing my first and only-main farm, and wanted to share :-) It started as the central plaza and fish ponds (since I came to love fishing!) and grew from there. I was going to get all-seasons screenshots and post together, but that's going soo slowly; and, hey, content!

Hope you like it! I think there's a little bit of just about everything there, and if you look closely you can see me sitting on a bench enjoying the flower garden. It's been single player until right at the end I added the 'guest lodges' to share with family and friends. I love how well they fit in places I hadn't planned!
