Potluck Quality rules of thumb
It seems that anything worth around 100g is considered good (apart from fish, where 93g is enough). Conversely 30 energy/15 health usually seems to be enough except for forgeables. Does anyone have any other rules of thumb on what gets a good response at the potluck? Techhead7890 (talk) 06:24, 28 February 2021 (UTC)
- The actual rules are a bit more complex and can be found in StardewValley.Event::governorTaste in the game code. margotbean (talk) 09:56, 28 February 2021 (UTC)
Secret Response
So what is the "secret" response from the governor when adding the shorts to the potluck soup? I sort of want to find out myself, but I'm not a patient kind of person. StardewValley4eva (talk) 14:02, 3 April 2021
- I suggest you google it, someone has probably made a video of it. Please remember to sign your posts with four tildes. Thanks, margotbean (talk) 18:18, 3 April 2021 (UTC)
Also apparently if you put a staircase in the soup the governor and the Mayor will act like you put the pants in the soup. This is almost definitely because if you put a staircase in your pants slot, you get Trimmed Lucky Purple Shorts. Even so, it's weird.

Putting magma cap in the correct place
I seem to be triggering an AbuseFilter rule when trying to put magma cap in the correct alphabetical order under the "Best result" heading - anyone else wanna do it? Same for taro root in section below. Haidro (talk) 11:32, 13 April 2021 (UTC)
Luau response tier formula
I noticed that the formula for how each item was categorized was not on this page. I did some digging and found it. I have created a basic write up of the logic that is used, but I am new to contributing to wiki pages so my formatting is fairly poor and I am not certain where on the page would be most appropriate to add this information.
I cannot put what I wrote here as the wiki thinks its too large of an edit

EDIT: I figured out that I could put it on my userpage. Feel free to check it out there --CAlonghair (talk) 00:23, 8 May 2022 (UTC)
- The code reference is above -- StardewValley.Event::governorTaste. I'm not sure we have all multiplayer options covered, but the complete list of items covers the rest of what's on your user page. I don't think it adds value, but I appreciate the effort! margotbean (talk) 02:06, 8 May 2022 (UTC)
- Oh yea I saw that name, but I wasn't sure how that would lead me to seeing the actual formula. The reason I wanted to know the exact formula was for playing with mods reasons, as modded items would not be on this curated list obviously, but could still be used in the luau. This page referenced a formula, but wasn't specific in how it worked. Other pages, like Farming have a more precise description of formulas in dropdowns (in this case the one about profession goods boost) so I thought it might be reasonable to add something like that for this as well. CAlonghair (talk) 05:02, 8 May 2022 (UTC)
- It's not entirely unreasonable, but I think a code reference will suffice for this page. I went ahead and added one. Good luck with your modding efforts! margotbean (talk) 17:14, 8 May 2022 (UTC)
- I must say I find an exact formula easier to consume than the long list of individual items. The item lists are not formatted in a convenient way for looking up specific items, while a formula at least provides a straightforward method for those wanting to determine for themselves. IBugOne (talk) 11:16, 13 September 2023 (UTC)
- I see that you have the algorithm on your user page now, that's great! What I've been thinking would be ideal is an external web page that lets the user input an item and quality, and outputs the governor's response. Maybe something hosted on github.io, like the Stardew Predictor or SDV Fair helper. Unfortunately, the wiki doesn't have the capability to allow for the same kind of input and output. margotbean (talk) 14:26, 13 September 2023 (UTC)
Bug for a Staircase being added to the potluck
Since of 1.5 fixing the bug of you being able to add a Staircase got me thinking: This needs to be fixed ASAP. 9000 (talk) 8:58, 13 July 2022 (UTC)
- ConcernedApe doesn't monitor the wiki for bug reports, but you can report the bug on the Official Forums. I think it's already been reported, but it doesn't hurt to report it again. margotbean (talk) 14:50, 13 July 2022 (UTC)
Is an exhaustive list really the way to go?
With each update that passes, this page becomes more and more unwieldy to cross-reference. The text wall of possible ingredients for each grade of response is pretty much impossible to parse, and on top of that, updating the page with every game update is a monumental editing task where items are added virtually one at a time as players happen to try them out. Instead I would suggest that the walls of items be stricken out, and be replaced with a single table that lays out the actual rules the game's code abides by when determining which response to give. That way, even as new forage, crops, edible artisan goods, etc. get added, the page doesn't need edited again, especially if it's going to make it just worse and worse to read. You can mention that the best response is dependent on the item's base price, that this base price can be looked at in-game with the collections tab, and even add practical tips and tricks like "since smoked fish retain their quality and are considered to have a new base price equal to twice that of the original fish, they make for ideal Luau ingredients" instead of the player having to come to that understanding by staring at the tables of responses for so long that they understand its patterns.

EDIT: As an added benefit it would make the page mod-friendly, as laying down the rules would allow players to check by themselves whether their modded crops and items pass the Luau requirements. PrincessFelicity (talk) 06:32, 15 July 2024 (UTC)
