Casks can be placed anywhere; however, they will only accept goods to refine if they are actually in the [[Farmhouse#Upgrades|cellar]].
 
 
It is worth noting that even with high-value goods such as Starfruit wine, the value gained from casks is comparatively low, since an iridium-quality product is only double the original value. Maturing a bottle of starfruit wine will yield 2250g in 56 days, yielding only 40g per day per cask. That is very low maintenance profit, however. You only need to fill the cellar and wait for two seasons. With starfruit wine, 125 casks will yield 5000g per day.

It's also possible to completely fill the cellar with Casks. This requires 189 casks, made of 156 [[Hardwood]] and 3120 [[Wood]]. In order to use all 189 casks, the player must fill the casks all at once, placing additional casks while moving towards the exit. In order to harvest the finished product the player must reverse the process, removing empty casks while carving a path to the furthest ones. This can be time-consuming, so it may be a desirable option for only the most valuable products (''e.g.'', [[Starfruit]] or [[Ancient Fruit]] wine).

All layouts described here are shown in the [[Cask#Gallery|Gallery]] below.

On mobile devices, casks in corners cannot be reached, so 118 is the maximum reachable number of casks. With a controller, it's possible that casks in diagonal corners may not be reachable.
  
Note that players using [[Controls|a controller]] or playing on mobile devices, rather than using a mouse/keyboard, have reported difficulty accessing casks in the corners of the Cellar.

With the exception of the two highest-value wines, cheeses give the best value compared to the processing time required to age them to iridium quality. The best value wines are included in the table below along with all unique cask products.

Note that although the large milks make gold quality cheeses directly, the final aging step is both 50% of the total value increase and 50% of the required time, so the g/day remains the same. The prices above assume no relevant skills. Choosing [[Artisan]] raises the base prices of all cask-aged products by the same percentage, so while the overall values will increase, the relative order of g/day stays the same. Choosing [[Rancher]], however, will only increase the price of the cheeses, raising [[Cheese]] to ~19.7 g/day and [[Goat Cheese]] to ~34.3 g/day, making it better than Ancient Fruit Wine in this case.

For a detailed analysis of profit using the Cask, see Cask Productivity.

The Cask is a type of Artisan Equipment used to age Artisan Goods. It takes Beer, Cheese, Goat Cheese, Mead, Pale Ale, and Wine, and ages them to increase their quality and value.

Normal, silver, and gold quality items can be prematurely removed from a cask at any time by striking the cask with an Axe, Hoe, or Pickaxe. A star will appear on the front of the cask denoting the quality of the item inside.

Casks are able to produce items with "iridium star" quality. Iridium star is the highest level of quality, which doubles the value of an item. Different types of items take longer or slower to age. Wine takes the longest, at 2 seasons of aging to go from basic wine to iridium quality wine.

Casks can be placed anywhere; however, they will only accept goods to refine if they are actually in the cellar.

Placement Strategy

The cellar comes with 33 casks. It is possible to fill the cellar with 125 casks (on PC) and still leave paths to reach all of them without displacing any of them.

It's also possible to completely fill the cellar with Casks. This requires 189 casks, made of 156 Hardwood and 3120 Wood. In order to use all 189 casks, the player must fill the casks all at once, placing additional casks while moving towards the exit. In order to harvest the finished product, the player must reverse the process, removing empty casks while carving a path to the furthest ones. This can be time-consuming, so it may be a desirable option for only the most valuable products (e.g., Starfruit or Ancient Fruit wine).

On mobile devices, casks in corners cannot be reached, so 118 is the maximum reachable number of casks. With a controller, it's possible that casks in diagonal corners may not be reachable.

PC and mobile layouts described here are shown in the Gallery below.

History

  • 1.1: Introduced.
  • 1.3.27: Removed bug that crashed the game when striking a ready-to-harvest cask with a tool.
  • 1.4: Iridium quality items can no longer be put into casks. Casks can now be stacked in a player's inventory and in chests.
