I can't figure out how to use bait. I'm an idiot.

Get the fiberglass rod from fishman (once you get fishing level 2 or 3 and sell some fish, he'll send you a letter saying he has it in the shop) and it can use bait.

It gets easier once you get sprinklers, which is easiest done by... going to the mines, actually. :shobon: I just haven't been growing all that many crops, making my money from fishing/mining instead until I get a good sprinkler system set up.

Man, in most HM games, I get into a rhythm where I talk to everyone every day. In this game, I get like, 4 people plus bar and don't even make it into the mines every day.

I hope there aren't some real time sensitive things because I'm just bumblefucking my way through.

I think a genuinely chill approach of not worrying too much about optimum play is going to be my way into this game. I can't be done with fretting about whether I'm doing it perfectly. Especially now I spent all my cash upgrading my axe and it's suddenly summer and I'm broke.

Did you talk to the Mayor? In the other festivals, talking to him activates the events and ends the festival.

Is it worth using the first sprinkler? You either do the super-ugly tesseract, or just do lines. Either way, I'm only getting four crops with each sprinkler. That doesn't seem worthwhile at this point of the game, compared to what it costs. Seems like my iron could be better spent elsewhere. Now, the second sprinkler, that is something I can see myself using.

It's worth doing for the Summer/Fall just because there are season-crossing crops aka Corn and you won't have the second sprinkler plans. That's why I haven't added more ugliness to my 32 square tikicrow plot; I figure that's enough to push through the Fall on top of my other activities.

Just got back from the store to get the new seeds for the first day of Summer. I think I'll try to use five sprinklers to at least alleviate the time and energy all of this will take.

Okay, two issues.

1.) are the seeds from the community center awards bugged or what? I've gotten both spring and summer and couldn't get either to grow.

2.) It's summer already where is my kitty???

At the start of Summer, an earthquake probably happened. On top of messing with your farm, it unblocks the path to the left of the mountain hobo leading up to the Railroad, where the Spa aka Stamina-Restoring Hotspring is. I burn 2/3rds of my stamina from the morning watering, recharge via that method, and have enough time in the day to bang out 5 more floors.

Use a pickaxe on them.

In a similar vein, is there a way to replace entire buildings? I realized too late that my chicken coop is probably not in the best of locations.

I'd been doing that, but by the time I'm done watering it's almost 1. I'm going to cut back on the number of crops i have to a more manageable level i guess

Craft a storage chest with 50 wood. The crafting panel is the little hammer on the inventory/ESC menu, I missed it forever too.

And yeah, you should click/press/whatever right when the ! comes up, then you get to do the little fishing minigame where you have to keep the green bar under the fish.

I don't really understand the gifting mechanic in this game. I'll gift people things and they act like they like the gift, but no hearts fill up in the social tab. I'm nearing the end of spring and I only have one heart on a handful of people and that's from giving them something on their birthday.

You're right about the fishing.

There isn't a storage chest from the beginning, but you only need 50 wood to craft one. Also, the general store sells a backpack for 2,000 gold that lets you carry more stuff.

No, but you can craft a chest for 50 wood pretty early on. Might need level 1 in something, but that should happen quickly.

It takes more than a single gift to make people like you, even if you can figure out what their favorite thing is. Also keep in mind you can only give people two things a week, so leveling up friendship is a ~process~.
