'''Shared [[Memory Shard]] Counter: [[Cooking]], [[Fishing]], [[Foraging]], [[Gardening]], [[Mining]], Watering [[Dried Flower]]s'''. When you do these Activities in the game that are capable of producing [[Memory Shard]]s, an invisible counter is running in the background. Each time an Activity is performed, the counter increases by one. It then essentially checks against a predetermined list of numbers, conditions, and rewards. If your counter hits an indicated number and the current gameplay conditions meet the requirements, a reward will be yielded - in this case, a [[Memory Shard]].

A specific piece of a specific [[Memories|Memory]] will always result next from doing that particular Activity, and this value is predetermined. However, since these [[:Category:Activities|Activities]] have a shared [[Memory Shard]] counter, this can be exploited to have a better chance at gaining desired [[Memory Shard]]s. For example, if you know that a Memory Shard is in your action queue and you desire a different type of Memory Shard value, you can save right before you are supposed to get the [[Memory Shard]], quit without saving, restart, then swap to a different type of Activity. The Memory Shard properties seem to be unrelated depending on Activity —- i.e. the orb color, [[Memories|Memory]] Universe, or specific piece of the [[Memory Shard]] will not be the same if you change activity to acquire a different [[Memory Shard]]. The counters are consistent, and each action of the activities listed counts as one (1). However, it is currently unclear how or if collects from Red Critical Hits or Golden Harvests are counted<!--, so you may occasionally need to do a task twice to get a Memory Shard to trigger-->. "Miracle" Elixirs have no impact on these activities. When Fishing, if the Player's Inventory is full and the Activity is not completed, the counter is not incremented. <!--TODO: check if this is true for other activities as well-->

 

An example use case: a player plants 50 [[Wheat]], which is a fast-growing ({{growthTime|1}}) and cheap ({{price|1}}) crop. They harvest the crops, manually saving their game every 10 actions. They encounter a yellow [[Memory Shard]] on their third crop harvest after a save point. They have already completed all of their yellow [[Gardening#Dreamlight and Memories|Gardening/Foraging Memories]], so they want to get a different [[Memory Shard]]. They immediately quit the game, restart, and go to a biome where they saw a [[Dried Flower]]. They forage from 1 tree, and 1 bush, and on their third action, they water the [[Dried Flower]] to yield a pink [[Memory Shard]]. Unfortunately, when opened, it yields a coin, indicating they already collected that specific [[Memory Shard]], so they immediately quit the game, and try switching to either Cooking, Mining, or Fishing.

 

Note that collecting prepared Meals from an Auto-Cooker (any level) counts as one action, and does not correspond to the number of Meals collected. Harvesting using a Gardener does not appear to count as an action, and will not yield a Harvest Memory Shard<!--tested with one in queue, did not impact count when it appeared-->.

The "Well Fed" Bonus significantly increases the number of Luck Events - both red Critical Hits and Golden Harvests. However, this appears to be a boolean - NOT a sliding scale of "more energy-->more critical hits". Being at 5 energy over the energy threshold into the Well Fed Bonus will yield the same results as being 3000 energy over, at the maximum 5000 energy. Test results have shown that there appear to be 2 separate Critical Hit Counters for Well Fed vs. not Well Fed.

Items collected from Golden Harvests count as additional collects (both for the purposes of Duties, and also for impact of the Companion Bonus, if Hanging Out with an appropriate Role of Villager), but items collected from red Critical Hits do not (NEED VERIFICATION). It is currently unclear exactly how items collected during a Golden Harvest increment the counter.

Critical Hits and Golden Harvests are independent of [[Memory Shard]]s; it is possible to get a Luck Event and a [[Memory Shard]] from the same action. In the case of a Golden Harvest, the Memory Shard will pop out at the end of the golden visual effect. In the case of a red Critical Hit, the Memory Shard pops out at the same time as the limited-time items in highlighted red spurt out from the origin harvest item.

Who is in the restaurant is 100% time based and operates totally separately from the above; if you go in at 4AM it might be Kristoff wanting pan-seared tilapia, if you go in at 11AM it's Eric instead.
