to everyone wondering- i think that new skull thing at the top of skull caverns switches it to hard mode after you beat the qi quest, similar to the dangerous mines.

it's a really obvious thing to say which i guess is why you didn't mention it, but the heavy furnace taking 25 ore at a time is huge. not only are you getting more bars with less coal, you're also doing it with 5 times fewer spaces. if you're willing to fill a big shed with heavy furnaces you could smelt 3425 ores at a time, but you really don't need a lot, i'm getting perfection rn and i still only have 15 which smelts half a stack in one go (i'm too lazy to make lots of lightning rods or crystalariums so my skull cavern dives are pathetic)

The heavy furnace is what finally convinced me to actually use a couple of hoppers last run. Had two heavy furnaces (plus a regular furnace to the side when needed) and kept one hopper loaded up with copper and iridium, and other other with iron and gold (and coal in each) . Load up each hopper after a mining run and harvest as needed. I realize you could do the same with regular furnaces but it felt a lot more worthwhile with the heavy ones.

Having waited several " in game " years for this ; i made two; one for Ginger island just in case i pass out there. It's wonderfully helpful and i keep it by my front door so i won't forget to check it. Bombs won't harm me ? Time to do some mining.

Honestly I have been binging many of your videos to learn more about Stardew and study up on it and I must say thank you for not only being so helpful but also I genuinely just find it interesting to learn more about this game full of little quarks and such. Plus it’s just straight up enjoyable to watch you!

This is the top mastery for me by a long shot. most of my income is SC dives and not only does it improve them, but also streamlines bar production while giving the 10% bonus. I'd swap to heavy furnace for the reduced space/number of clicks alone.

Yeah even if you don't often go into mines/skull cavern, being able to process 25 ore for just 3 coal is crazy good. I ended up using the little nook that you can get at the bottom of the "main" room (to the right of the kitchen) for crafting and smelting - it fits 5 (heavy) furnaces at the bottom and the crafting table + 5 (big) chests in the middle, while keeping the furnaces accessible.

Some people aren't a fan of mining because of the monsters naturally occurring there, but it's one of the most fun bits of the game in my opinion. Especially when I'm trying to sell enough iridium bars to purchase the golden clock... it's FAR less tedious than kegging.

I never needed to until I decided to tile most of my farm with the flooring you make with refined quartz, and then the heavy furnace was super important

These mastery guides are one of the videos I am most excited to see uploaded, along with kitadollx’s discussions about mushroom logs 😂

Two statues (both this and farming) are more convenient to have a second set in the Ginger island farmhouse.

Increased chance for ladders would be helpful if you want to get the good dialogue from Mr. Qi from reaching skull caverns floor 100 with at most 10 staircases.

Thank you!! Your videos are SO helpful!!❤

this is honestly my favorite mastery!

Your videos are so great! keep up the good work, you are my favorite!

Babe wake up new Salmence video just dropped

It was my last mastery and honestly it should have been my first since it’s such a solid QOL. Heavy furnace just saves so much time and i haven’t even sold any bars yet. Extra node drops makes the cindergrind nicer and the double gems is just a neat perk.

i lovveee the hesvy furances

I'm playing SDV mobile, but here I am watching (and slightly enying) what 1.6 players have now, while I'm still suffering from smelting one bar at a time in a furnace. 😢😂

Hopefully the update comes out for consoles and mobile devices before the end of the year…😢

ime when I'm doing doing regular skull caverns runs (explosive ammo, limited ladders), the ladder chance buff actually results in more iridium than the +ore one. was really surprised by this but ig getting to the iridium rich floors quicker just really helps?

Now we are mining for memes.

in my current run rn i have a dwarf king statue at the entrance to both the mines and the skull caverns, and may put one by the volcano depending on how much more i want to go there, but i find i have a better idea of what kind of buff i want just when I'm about to start mining, rather than first thing in the morning

The +1 to ore nodes also applies to rocks in the volcano however I dont know if thats a bug or if its fixed

@salmence100

They're the same as the non-volcano variants of rocks and nodes, just with different amounts of hits to break. I'm sure it's intentional

The Heavy Furnace might as well be a top tier machinery with how useful it is (efficient with time, coal, and bonus bars), and one of the best items in the game. Even if you delve in the Skull Cavern casually, you still need to process the first three ores.

Can a mustic stone in theory give you 4 prismatics then?

Salmence, I have a question. How does it feel for your channel to be in a weird middleground where a lot of players don't want to watch the "outdated" 1.5 and earlier videos, but you also have plenty that are avoiding all 1.6 videos for the sake of spoilers until it comes to consoles & mobile?

mining is probably my least favorite mastery. dwarf statue gives minor bonuses, which other than the +1 ore (which you aren't even guaranteed to get) are practically useless, upgraded furnace is not that useful and is pretty boring as far as mastery rewards go, and the extra gems are almost 100% useless unless you dedicate the entire day to diamond hunting, have the diamond book (for which you need the dwarvish translation guide and access to ginger island), AND have decent luck, and after all that you get a slightly above average amount of gold

@idontbelieveinmagic

upgraded furnaces are pretty huge, iridium dives is one of the late game go to money makers (only competed by 1.6 fishing shenanagins with the smoker) and the heavy furnace is a very significant buff to them, as you both need less coal and get more bars but can more importantly much more easily go through the 800+ iridium ore a day you're getting

Also, with the Gemologist + Mastery if your looking for Jade to trade for Stair cases, it helps a good deal.

I can confirm that it is what it looks like in the dangerous version of the mines.

Does the double gems buff work on the prismatic mystic rock or just the normal one?

Doesn’t the Geologist profession AND mastery apply to Prismatic shards? Geologist profession: “Chance for gems to appear in pairs.” Mining mastery: “Gem Bearing Rocks now grant twice the gems.” Before you say “This only applies to gem nodes.” Iridium nodes exist AND they have a chance to drop prismatic shards. And because the mastery applies to the Diamond book I think it will also apply to mystic stones AND iridium nodes.
