A farming master in Stardew Valley

Chapter 746 Craftsman Machinery
Now Leon is no longer sleepy, because he has unlocked a lot of new recipes, and there are some that he really wants to make and use right now.

For example, lightning rods and bait making machines, and of course, the recycling machine unlocked before and the crab cage after the hunter profession reduces the materials.

After putting on his clothes, Leon went downstairs and started searching for the treasure chest.

1 iron ingot, 1 refined quartz, and 5 bat wings are all the materials needed for a lightning rod.

Because he had previously melted a lot of quartz to make flower pots for growing tea, Lyon had a large reserve of refined quartz.

Not to mention iron ingots and bat wings, Lyon has already dug through the abandoned mine, so naturally there is no shortage of wings that are bound to be dropped by monster bats in every mine area. In addition to the furnace that has been working all the time, Lyon finally decided to build 5 lightning rods.

After the lightning rod was made, Lyon placed it together with the previous lightning rod. The previous one was a reward for the sacrifice bag, but until now, Lyon has not encountered a thunderstorm, so this lightning rod has only served as a decoration.

Now five more lightning rods have been added, and six lightning rods are inserted side by side in the ground, which looks like a row of fences. This makes Lyon a little worried. If lightning is attracted by these side-by-side lightning rods, whether these lightning rods can withstand the violent natural force under multiple lightning strikes.

"There's probably no problem."

Lyon comforted himself by saying that after all, it was a craftsman-made product produced by the system, so it should not be that fragile. Although the system did not have a high presence, it had never cheated Lyon. Lyon still believed in the system's ability.

After the lightning rod is arranged, it is natural to prepare other machinery.

The second machine that Lyon chose to build was the bait making machine that he was still considering whether to buy yesterday, but the system automatically unlocked it.

Looking at the system's manufacturing panel, the icon of this thing is full of technology, but when seeing the materials it requires, Lyon feels that it is a bit too casual.

3 iron ingots, 3 corals, and finally a sea urchin, this is the new thing that the merchant in the fishing tackle shop in the Elemental City quoted a price of 1.5.

Now it seems that if the merchant in the fishing tackle shop didn't treat Leon like a fat pig, then the manufacturing formula provided by the system was completely different from the manufacturing formula of the proper bait making machine. In either case, Leon was glad that he had unlocked the bait making machine in advance, otherwise Leon would have spent a lot of money in vain for the trout competition.

Although I have no plans to buy a machine, I have already considered buying the bait. Judging from the character of the owner of the fishing tackle shop, these baits are probably not cheap.

Gather all the materials and click to make. There are no fancy lights or automatic assembly effects. The moment you choose to make, the materials disappear from your backpack and are replaced by a brand new fishing bait making machine.

Take it out of the backpack and place it on the ground.

The overall shape of the instrument platform is similar to that of a fish, with its tail pointing downwards and its head pointing upwards. It looks very technological, and there is a complete fish-shaped relief in the middle section where the fish body is located.

Just by looking at its shape, you can tell that this thing is definitely inextricably linked to fish.

After admiring the exterior, Leon began to use it. Although there was no instruction manual, the operation of the bait making machine was really fool-proof. Pressing the fish-shaped relief, it popped out, revealing the box inside, which was also in the shape of a fish. However, the space was not very large, only about 30 cm long, and it seemed that it could not accommodate large fish.

But Lyon didn't think that this thing would have any requirements on size. According to the previous idea, this storage box should have a special function of adaptive scaling.

In order to verify his idea, Leon went to the treasure chest, searched for the fish he had saved, and finally chose a 60-centimeter largemouth bass.

As Leon expected, the box was able to hold a large-mouth bass that was twice as big as the storage opening. When the fish was put in, the large-mouth bass in Leon's hand began to shrink rapidly and finally fell perfectly into the box.

Feeling that the raw materials were loaded into the box, the fish-shaped relief closed automatically, and then a blue-silver light lit up on the surface of the float, and the entire bait-making machine began to emit a faint vibrating sound. Lyon's excellent hearing could hear the stirring sound coming from the box.

However, it would take a while for the machine to complete the processing, so Leon temporarily left the bait making machine to look for materials to build a recycling machine.

25 pieces of wood, 25 pieces of stone, plus an iron ingot, and a machine similar to a floor cabinet can complete the processing.

The four wooden legs are as short as a Corgi, but they can steadily support the oval-shaped main body. The overall height is more than one meter, and the shape is a bit like a trash can. There is a drawer structure at the bottom, and a progress display bar made of red, yellow and blue lights on the top.

Next to this light, there is a hole in the right direction. Looking from the outside, it is pitch black. Below the gap, there is a directional arrow. If Leon guessed correctly, this should be the feed inlet for waving garbage.

After observing for a while, Leon took out an empty can from the kitchen cupboard. It was a can of corn soup that Abigail brought with her. She had already finished eating it, but the reason she didn't throw it away was because Leon planned to wash the can, put salt in it, and use it as a salt shaker.

Now it is a good time to test the effect of the recycling machine.

What made Leon speechless was that he had just thrown the empty can into the hole of the recycling machine, and the next second, the empty can popped out of the hole and fell on the wooden floor with a tinkling sound.

Obviously, recycling machines are not suitable for empty cans.

"Bah, it's called a recycling machine, but this thing can't even recycle." After discovering that the recycling machine was picky about food, Leon had no choice but to give up the experiment besides complaining.

It seems that this recycling machine only responds to items that are marked as garbage by the system, such as wet newspapers commonly found in fishing, broken glasses, broken CDs, and driftwood.

In fact, Lyon didn't see much of this garbage. When fishing in Stardew Valley in real life, the probability of the fish hook being hooked on underwater garbage was much smaller than in the game. The most garbage Lyon had seen was when he was fishing for anglerfish yesterday. It escaped at the bottom of the water, causing a lot of garbage to be entangled in the fishing line. Normally, he rarely caught these messy things.

But it does not mean that there is no garbage to be recycled in the recycling machine, causing it to be forced to gather dust.

Because Lyon also planned to make crab cages, and as everyone knows, crab cages are more likely to be filled with troublesome garbage besides lobsters, crabs and conchs.
