Deified Data posted:Can someone tell me in a vague sense what my priorities should be during my first spring? Growing potatoes. Mine, gather wood, forage and fish after watering. Upgrade your tools asap but make sure you're going to upgrade the watering can when it's going to rain the following day and after you've watered your crops. That way the rain day falls on the day you can't pick up the can from Clint, and you can the following day and then water your crops. I recommend always upgrading your pick first, since it makes it require less swings to break rocks and ores in the mines. After that it's up to you but make sure you get your axe to iron so you can access the hidden forest for a steady supply of hardwood. After a few foraging levels you can craft all 3 tree seeds in to snacks that restore 45 energy and 20 health. Always be using these. When you need them. You can get more seeds by just chopping trees down or randomly by right clicking trees and shaking them out, which costs no energy to do so just hold down your right mouse button as you walk past trees.

Kills almost an hour of my day. There's a mod that lets you turn in it anywhere. I just learned about checking from the start menu though, that's neat.

Deified Data posted:Can someone tell me in a vague sense what my priorities should be during my first spring? (1) Making as much money as possible (2) Nabbing all the springtime items for the community center turn-ins. I wouldn't worry about the 5 golden parsnips if it's too much to handle because you can just compensate for it in the summer/fall. (3) Upgrading axe/pickaxe/backpack space at some point. #1 is obviously complicated and I don't think anyone figured out how to optimize it. The first day I'd definitely forage, buy as many crops as I can, and then plant+water them all. In no particular order. Potato or Beans are the way to go. Not sure which. Potatos have significantly faster returns than beans allowing you to reinvest, but the earlier you plant beans the more money they're going to make. I'm not entirely sure how much money you can make in the first week to decide which to pick. You could do something like beans and then make money from fishing and more beans, and then after a certain point in the season just hit those potatos hard. But due to the snowball effect of potatos getting their returns faster it might be better to just do potatos. When the mines open up they are a decent resource as well. I wouldn't prioritize clearing the farm over getting a cash flow established. You can just clear a bit more as you need it, and there are far more pressing things to do if you want to be efficient and get into the part of the game where you aren't really strapped for energy or cash. But that's up to the individual. I know my first play through I wasted lots of time buying awful crops like sunflowers, not foraging enough, and clearing too much of my farm when I still had awful tools and no need for the space.

Dunno if everyone knows this, but the fridge in your house doubles as a chest that keeps the ingredients inside available for cooking, so you don't have to do inventory management.

So should I plant all the seeds you get for free on day 1, then head to town and buy as much seeds as you can and plant them all on the same day? I'm not far and was thinking of restarting anyway so this might work out.

Oh a tip I forgot. Seeding does not count towards days required for crop maturity. So take that in to account when you're nearing the end of the season.Deified Data posted:So should I plant all the seeds you get for free on day 1, then head to town and buy as much seeds as you can and plant them all on the same day? I'm not far and was thinking of restarting anyway so this might work out. Yes, definitely. Use your free parsnips. Grab a single bean starter and cauliflower seed pack. These will just be used for your spring crop bundle. Everything else on potatoes and parsnips until you get the 5 gold quality needed for the Quality Crops bundle. Potatoes are really good. Arguably the best spring crop, since they're slightly better than strawberries in a vacuum. Skaw fucked around with this message at 22:12 on Mar 3, 2016 |

So I got up to 8 hearts with Abigail, and got a message asking me to come to her room at 8. Only I forgot to do it that particular day. Now whenever I go to her house she doesn't come home until like 11, and then she goes straight to bed, only giving her usual dialogue when I talk to her. Did I just miss that event forever?

No, I think you just have to wait for a day where her schedule will allow it to fire.

GreyjoyBastard posted:You can run the bottom five floors over and over (and over and over and over) for extra cash if that's your thing.

My feeling for spring has been to just get money in my pocket. Since potatoes have a pretty good chance of yielding bonus potatoes when you harvest them, I feel like they're a good choice to spend most of your money on early.

but for real though as a person who comes from playing older harvest moon games and having to deal with incredibly aggravating systems, stardew valley is completely the exact opposite and you don't have to worry about loving yourself over. i mean, sure, if someone wants to plot out the most optimal way to get money, then have fun with that! but don't feel like you have to at all.

I didn't even enter the mines until Summer. I assumed it wasn't open, but that was actually the entrance to the Spa/Railroad.

Agreed. The no real time constraints on achievement is the games strongest point. But the first year is also 15 to 20 hours of game time alone. Pretty easy for someone to burn out before experiencing a lot of the content. And without certain things available to do during winter, it can become pretty dull.

For cooking, are there any dishes that are actually worth more than the sum of their parts? Looking at the wiki it feels like cooking is only going to be there if you want to make dishes for people as gifts. Especially once you regularly get gold-starred crops, it makes more sense to pickle/brew them than make food to sell.
