Real posting for a second, but has anyone found out a good way to keep your energy up until midway through spring? At about Spring 15 the berry season starts and if you never sell those then that's a reasonable diet to power you through much of the rest of the season, but prior to that it seems like the only half-reliable food is spring onions, which can't sustain a decent amount of activity.

You probably almost need a field of parsnips just for your own use, though that could get prohibitive with how little money you have at the start of the game.

Guys, the problem is you get bait before you get the second pole that uses it.

The Bamboo Pole cannot use bait!

Not a good design because it doesn't explain it explicitly.

Yeah, I just compiled (the start of) a basic list:

Search for professions in your save file. These numbers correspond to the professions:

0 - rancher
1 - tiller
6 - fisher
7 - trapper
12 - forester
13 - forager
18 - miner
19 - geologist

While I haven't tested it (still combat lv 4), I think the other two are

24 - fighter
25 - scout

So to go from trapping to fishing, change the 7 to a 6, save, and bam.

On fertilizer, once Spring rolls around I really need to start working on getting enough gold-tier crops for the bundle. If I get a bunch of Basic/Quality fertilizer, do I use it before or after I plant the seeds? Or does it not matter?

the controls are simple to pick up but the game does absolutely nothing to explain them to you so you will probably have to sit with her for a good two hours to make sure she gets it

Head to the southernmost part of the woods south of your farm, over the bridges on the lakes. There's an area where something like 10-20 spring onions grow daily.

I saw some incidental dialogue with Penny. She mentions that the bus is broken and the mayor's budget is near empty so he can't repair it.

Pam was the bus driver, of course.

So yeah, the Jubilees just stuff the mayor's bank account. :v:

It's not reliable even a little bit (i went there many days and found 2-3) and you need like 15 to get a full energy bar so I don't find this terribly sustainable.

The game is very controller friendly. Plug in a x360 controller and you're pretty much set. The keyboard is needed for some things (like typing in names), but you can pretty much control the entire game with the controller. I do sometimes use the keyboard shortcuts when playing on my controller.

The big thing here is that the game gives you bait long before it gives you a rod that can equip bait, so most people are probably asking this not because they are doing it wrong, but because the game won't let them.


Edit: I think I forgot to refresh the thread I'm a little late saying this.

Ok, so getting to (desert) level 25 in the desert mines gives you a 10k reward. It doesn't seem to end there though, and I got to 35 before it got too late to continue. If there really is 100 floors in this, it's gonna take a lot of luck and/or bombs to get there.

Does the fertilizer stay on the tilled soil even after you harvest the plant, assuming you replant same day? Or do I have to put down new fertilizer before adding a new crop. I thought I read it lasts a full season?

it lasts for a full season presuming topsoil doesn't overwrite things

if you leave tilled soil fallow it will eventually get overwritten by topsoil, so that's a thing.

It lasts the entire season or until it becomes untilled, whichever comes first.

I've managed to avoid most spoilers here I do think the OP needs to be updated. A lot of people have some really great information throughout this thread. Page 71 someone had a good "starting things to do" without spoiling anything

I just want to say what everyone else has. Really really fun game. I thought the energy would bug me to some degree but it really doesn't. I like figuring out what to do. I'm only one day 13 of Spring, I restarted a few times because I ended up not liking my pet name or what not, and just a drat great game
I have 5 plots of 3x3 that I tend to each day, farming isn't high enough to get the sprinklers to cut down on my manual farming time yet, then I either go to the mine looking for copper or fish. Fishing is really profitable and quite enjoyable. That combined with foraging randomly has gotten me the 24 inventory upgrade quickly and I'm plugging away at various other things that interest me.
Combat is simple yet fun. I'm tempted to start making my crab pots and really live off the land.
Fishing + farming is more fun then it should be.

the only thing I haven't really done? Mess with the villagers. I think the rich bitch is 1 heart with me? I try to talk to everyone at least once but I'm apparently still missing a few people from the intro quest. Oh well I'll get to them in due time :3 These fish won't catch themselves.
