Daily artisan decisions
Turn a chest full of crops into the next three clicks
Players rarely need another encyclopedia entry at 6:00 AM. They need to know which item goes into which free machine before they walk out of the shed. This small triage tool uses the same capacity-aware optimizer as the full planner, with a deliberately small input surface for a fast morning check.
Start with only the decision in front of you
Add the stacks that are competing today. You can move to the full planner when future harvests, Keep quantities, quality splits, or a longer schedule matter.
Every unit can be used once
The queue shares inventory across Kegs, Jars, and Dehydrators. One blueberry cannot be counted as both Jelly and Dried Fruit, so the load list stays executable.
A short list is the feature
The first result shows only today’s loads and the collection day. Backlog remains visible so you know what to revisit tomorrow instead of assuming the shed is clear.
Model scope: unmodded Stardew Valley 1.6.x · crop, brew, mushroom, honey, Raisin, and Caviar routes · one morning check per day · machines start empty on Day 0 · Casks are not included.
How the plan is made
Today’s answer is the best executable queue, not the highest single sale price.
Count real capacity
Every batch occupies a real machine until the morning collection day shown in the plan.
Protect opportunity cost
Quality and the selected profession path change what the exact input stack would sell for raw. Artisan includes the Tiller crop bonus where it applies.

Common questions
Before you load the shed
What does “today” mean in the checklist?
Today means the current morning check at Day 0. Only stacks available now can appear in the load list; future rows are kept out until their arrival day.
Can one stack be assigned to two machine types?
No. The optimizer shares one inventory pool across Kegs, Preserves Jars, and Dehydrators, so each input unit is assigned at most once.
How does the tool handle future harvests?
Set an arrival day for each row. The schedule can use that row only on or after the selected day, which prevents an early load list from promising crops that are not in the chest yet.
Why is a lower-value item sometimes loaded first?
A lower final price can still add more gold per occupied morning or fit a free machine while a slower route would leave capacity idle. The result is optimized for the executable seven-day queue, not a static price tier.
When should I use the full planner?
Use it when more than three stacks compete, you need Keep quantities, you have several arrival dates, or you want a complete morning-by-morning schedule beyond the quick checklist.
