I timed my stardew math script and it took 733968 milliseconds to run 1,000,000 simulations for a farm with 116 plants and 125 casks. That is about 12 minutes and 14 seconds
@wallhackio Sherclod Holmes, are you still solving the case of "Starfruit Wine" versus "Ancient Fruit Wine"?
@lapis I am satisfied with my conclusion to the case
@wallhackio So who did it. I gotta know
@lapis ancient fruit will always eventually outsell star fruit but it takes about 4-5 months, at minimum, for ancient fruit to outsell star fruit. given that the typical casual perfection run is anywhere between 4-7 in-game years this is a reasonable time frame for a non-speedrunner or challenge run youtuber
however, when the farms get larger ancient fruit takes considerably longer to overcome star fruit because of the time spent turning ancient fruits into seeds. A greenhouse with four iridium sprinklers and ancient fruit will only outsell a star fruit farm of the same size after almost 3 years, which starts to be an amount of time that might not be worth it
EXCEPT a star fruit farm of this size is a MASSIVE initial cost because of how expensive star fruit seeds are. A greenhouse full of star fruits and iridium sprinklers that you constantly replant, turning all into iridium-quality wine or selling unaged wine if all casks are full, will lose over 100k in profits from seed purchases alone. It takes more than 1 in-game month for such a star fruit farm to start returning profits
You tend to have 100k to burn once you get a late-game wine farm going so i don't think a star fruit farm at a large scale is practical for the casual player seeking perfection. But for speedrunners and challenge runners who can easily perfection in two years star fruit is the clear better choice
TL:DR pierre did it send him to jail
@wallhackio Uh actually didn't Sandy do it Pierre doesn't sell starfruit
@lapis incorrect. i like sandy a lot and am going to marry her once 1.7 drops so she is innocent and perfect. i am not biased.
@wallhackio CHEATING ON HALEY????* 
seriously though you'll have to tell me how she is. I'm probably gonna date her because I'm curious because my interactions with her so far have been p boring and static
(no I will not date clint unless he has like a 2 star event where he permanently becomes a completely different person)
- I know this would be a new file I'm just messing with you
@lapis I remember coriander and tawaret were having a conversation the other day talking about "who on earth was hoping to marry sandy" and i was like, me! i was! 
@wallhackio @lapis me!!!!!
@wallhackio @lapis literally what do these people have against sandy she's so nice
@cam @wallhackio if I had to guess it's more there's just not that much to her right now (I mean, I might be wrong, I'm barely in the desert so I don't have a strong relationship with her) so it's like "Emily's friend who likes flowers and is probably cool with vaccinating your kids*" but there's not much dialogue so far there.
Maybe after I reach floor 100 in the skull caverns??? 🤷
- Emily is definitely an anti-vaxxer. probably anti-flouride in water too.
@wallhackio @lapis she looks like she drinks alkaline water
