Having watched the whole thing in a single evening, this is my favourite TAS of all time, and one of my favourite UA-cam videos. What an accomplishment indeed. For fun I attempted theorycrafting a perfection TAS in 1.5 a while back, but gave up quite quickly both due to how many bottlenecks still existed in that version, and the fact that I lacked any know-how to make such a run a reality, nor the sheer routing chops to make it anywhere near optimal. To see one fully formed is so god damn wonderful. Also, the fact that the TAS ended up having to mooch off of Clint to get enough coal at 2:32:00 is hysterical. Even if more absolutely could have been manipulated to spawn at various points, it's nice that the universal truth that everyone runs short of coal in Stardew managed to remain true even here.
I like that you teleport out of the sewer tunnel and never interact with Krobus again after that, so from his perspective you probably just died back there.
so the farmer sleeps for an entire year then reaches perfection within half of that time. I can only imagine how the villagers feel about all this... Really cool btw! I think stardew TAS's are really underrated so this is perfect for me :3 all the loot drops are simultaneously the coolest yet cursed thing i've ever seen. Thanks for the little explanations throughout!
45:22 Technically speaking if you can enchant your axe to powerful you don't need to upgrade it at all, meaning that perfection using only base tools is feasible (obviously not in this challenge but still neat)
@@mehmemeh5285 it's still possible, but im pretty sure the chair glitch might count as a "movement exploit", since it helps you get somewhere before you're supposed to be there, but im not 100% sure why they dont use it if that's not the case
oh my goodness, i was just wondering if one of these existed and then it showed up in my recommendations like creepy youtube magic! i can't even begin to comprehend how much time, work, and dedication was put into this. not only is my hat off to you but ALL of my hats are so far off they're in space i'd love if the commentary text was bigger though. i find it a bit hard to read :(
I've been theory crafting this run too but you've gone above and beyond with that mod of yours and making yourself start at the latest possible time. What I think I'd be most interested in now is a real time TAS from the beginning and see just how quick you can get perfection. And maybe for human runs, just how possible would it be assuming they start from spring 1? With the extra couple weeks do you think it would be feasible with only dynamic seeding?
Do we have an estimate on how long this would take in real world time? Since you'd be waiting in the pause screen for the RNG, on average how long is it between each action/how many actions total are there in this run.
Pretty long RTA, I won't go into spawning a floor with so many monsters cause that'd be hard to estimate (it's RARE), but a monster has a 0.09% chance to drop a normal skill book and a 0.05% to drop monster compendium on death. for sake of argument we'll assume independent so loosely 1 in 2million odds of both happening. Each RNG check is basically a draw against that, so within 2M RNG calls we'd expect to have a 63% chance of finding a valid setup for producing both books (at 6M RNG calls it's 95% likely we'll have found a valid setup). Just sitting in a menu right now in the mines with the tech that exists in 1.6, we're looking at something like 10 RNG calls per frame so at 55 MINUTES we're 63% chance to find a dual book setup or 2 HOURS 46 MINUTES to be 95% likely to have come across a dual book setup. That's per enemy we kill, times a lot of enemies...
what is stopping you from using the chair glitch to bypass the log to the secret woods without the axe? if thats all the axe is needed for it would save you two upgrades
late reply but it’s because the axe has to be upgraded to chop all of the hardwood stumps and logs on the farm as well to get enough hardwood for the house and boat! :)
The book drops are rare, so they most definitely won't be dropping as often as you see in here, but you get them from killing the monsters. I prefer modded stardew, so if you're looking into that I would recommend a mod that lets you tweak Cave settings, to spawn more or less monsters, rocks, gems, etc.

That is pretty funny considering I have ALWAYS refused to buy any materials from Clint in nearly 400 hours of game time

My mind is spinning thinking about how long you’d need to sit in the menu twiddling between crafting items to get this rng 🤯 very cool concept run!
24:47 i almost spat my drink out
Imagine getting such a chest in a real run

3:41:26 Absolutely filthy. My god.
A perfect legendary… just bounced around like a beach ball…
this is really cool and underrated i always loved tas runs of games and seeing such a titan of a task be done with a tas is so cool
i’m so impressed. thank you for making this and showing us!!
Absolutely amazing achievement, the routing is just perfect, great job
i love the blatant abuse of RNG with the book drops and the fishing chests

is it no longer possible to use a chair to get past the hardwood blocking the path?

There's a link in the description to a forum page explaining everything
The rng manips must of taken ages. Your vids are always a pleasure
must have*
1:24:25 this is the most satisfying skull caverns run I've even seen
Breaking news: local farmer sleeps for a year and a half straight and then does everything there is to do in life in two months

Goodness. I don’t even wanna think of the luck needed for that many books without the manipulation… and I haven’t even seen beyond spring yet!
Today I learn that you can pop the balloons from the CC completion
Oh hell yeah dude great job
why is no one talking about this run?? this is fascinating...
what are the green leaves in the treasure chest at 26:09 ?? never seen them before and can’t find on the wiki
it says Weeds - A bunch of obnoxious weeds.
@@cleangamer220 tysm!!

Im so confused as to how you got all bugs and books every time even with prediction
Guys. I hate to say it, but. I... _think..._ this player is cheating!
Great run
This is definitely more of a LOTAD than a TAS :D
Why? It is very clean

tas for the 1.6 joja route next?
Nice run but why did you miss some of the Bugs like on 5:14

Welcome back?
24:52 lmao
How yo spawn many monster in mine?
1:23:12 that chest tho
i am newbie, how can u kill monster and drop that book skill, it's really a lot

@@roach951 "they most definitely won't be dropping as often as you see in here"
Understatement of the year right there lmao
@forgot7en just a little less... Lmao
So are the drops rng manipulation ?
the way the TAS runs in circles or back and forth while waiting seems pretty human to me, what is happening there?
step manipulation? I guess?
There's definitely sometimes when it would be faster to just water over some lava 4 times rather than break 3 rocks in the Volcano
is humanly impossible not good enough for you KEKW
Wtf
