These tips range anywhere from getting a good first day, to preventing burnout. You might also notice that I excluded tips from Ginger Island, I'll be putting that in it's own video!

    My favorite tip is to keep at least one of everything. You never know when an NPC might request/ post a help wanted for a certain item, so it can just make quests go by quicker

      I like doing two--then if there's a request, then an out of season request, i don't have to give up because i can't get it before the request expires. also, laziness.

    If you plant a cauliflower day 1, and a green bean day 1 or 2, as well as the usual parsnips and potatoes, you can complete the spring crops bundle the night after the egg festival and get 20 speed grow. Put that on 20 of the strawberries you just got, and those will get 1 extra harvest. You might get cauliflower from your day 1 mixed seeds, but you must buy the bean if you want to do this.

    A tip for people that want a lot of early money, without really having to do a lot is to get Caroline to 2 hearts asap and then make tea saplings and sell them, they sell for 500 each and don’t require stuff that’s too hard to get a lot of besides Fiber

    • @mudawott
      @mudawott Před rokem +162

      And even then Fiber isnt usually an issue early game like it is in the late game. When your exploring the regular mines and cleaning your farm all you have to do is remember not to trash it.

      EDIT: Nope, I'm stupid. Memory problems got the best of me; it's my first save file on the Switch, so I decided to shake things up by changing the profit margin. I forgot I did that until literally today, two days after I posted this.
      Either way, the tip here still stands: make spring seeds asap, plant them, use the grown crops to make more! Repeat ad nauseum as many times as you'd like, and start over with each season's own forageables.
      An extra tip: if you're struggling with fiber, you can go to the mines and farm levels 15 and 25 back and forth. I usually come away with enough fiber to make ~10 saplings at the lowest. And once you unlock the recipe for fiber seeds, it's a good way to farm mixed seeds for that as well if you do it while your luck is high.
      Pan for lucky rings if you need an extra boost.

      I played the game so slowly on my first play through, and about two years later I'm still playing that first ever save file along with my second save file that I started not long ago, and I've still not completed the game or unlocked everything there is.
      There are so many secrets I'm still discovering, cut scenes I haven't seen yet and wonderful surprises presenting themselves to me. I've loved learning the game slowly and still love learning and playing it slowly. It means all the magic isn't discovered and gone at once, it makes the game last longer and in my opinion you bond with the game and the characters better. Much more fun and fulfilling way to play I think 🥰

    • @Jenna_Talia
      @Jenna_Talia Před 2 měsíci +3

      Yeah the game has a massive min/max community, so much so that they incidentally convince casual players to do certain things when in reality it just does not matter. Tillable soil on farms is one thing, it does not matter unless there's truly a pathetic amount. You won't be needing millions of gold from the world's largest ancient fruit vineyard, so tillable soil just does not matter.
      Year 1 community center completion ruined the game for me personally. So many people promote doing it that I just quit saves whenever I felt like I wasn't getting enough done.

    If you have a ton of crystalariums out of sight (e.g. in a shed, in the desert, etc.) and struggle to remember to check on them, place one for each mineral you’re duplicating inside your house. Those indoor crystalariums will serve as convenient reminders to harvest the others when they’re ready. You can also use this strategy for other processing machines.

    Really like that last tip! Watching all these speedrunners complete the community center in spring of year one somehow always makes me think "I could do that" but then I remember that I don't want to. I want to take my time and enjoy the game. This goes for any game really, especially with elitists that clown on anyone who plays on easy mode. Games are for fun, and are pretty crap if you aren't having fun.

    my favorite tip that you didn't cover is to never ignore birthdays for NPCs you're interested in befriending or dating. i spent my first couple playthroughs not really thinking about it, but hoooooo boy, it can make a difference. even a gift they like instead of love or a universal neutral is better than nothing, and can still get you some nice friendship points.
    i also feel like this is doubly true if you're playing with mods that add more NPCs like SDVE or ridgeside, because of how massive the maps can get, you obviously won't be making a trip around the map daily, so boosts from birthday gifts can really help make it easier.

    • @nyandoesthings
      @nyandoesthings Před rokem +18

      I never really realized how much birthdays made a difference in my first playthrough because I was only really interested in Sam and Linus, I didn't know you could literally just buy pizzas so I gave Sam a neutral birthday gift and then I was at 10 hearts with Linus before his birthday, but in my current playthrough I'm making sure to not miss birthdays and the difference is huge. I had gotten Marnie to 2 hearts already for the purple shorts, but on the week of her birthday gave her two liked gifts then a loved gift on her birthday and she went from 2 to 6 hearts, just like that.

    One trick I discovered that I haven't seen people mention online is that you can store an infinite number of items in dressers _and then pick them up._ So if you have a bunch of rings or clothes you like to swap between (or just want to transport them), you can keep them all in your inventory and switch them out whenever you like.
    The only drawback is that you can't place dressers everywhere, but you can place them in the mines entrance and I think inside other buildings, so it's only a small inconvenience.

    You can put path tiles around trees once they've grown to keep clutter from spawning around them so you don't constantly have to clear the around them. It won't prevent them from generating crops. They only need the cleared space to grow, once grown the clear space is no longer required.

    • @gsgaming6976
      @gsgaming6976 Před rokem +10

      Tappers stop them from dropping seeds and cluttering the area too, but this is definitely useful if you plant your trees before you have the copper to make the tappers.
      I did it backwards in my latest playthrough, but a bunch of paths down before the trees and then I was sitting there like "freaking grow already man!"

    That little tree icon that flashes when you hover over an item in your inventory that you need for a community center bundle? You can click on that icon to pull up a list of what you need for the bundles without having to visit the community center. Took me a while to realize this!
    Another time-saver is the phone you can purchase from Robin: it lets you call all of the shops in town and check on inventory, prices, and/or building costs without having to physically visit them. It's great to be able to double-check what building materials you need for something before you trot all the way over to Robin's store. Also, if the shop is closed for the day, it can save you a disappointing trip.
    The chest at the mines is a great help--so is putting one down next to your favorite fishing spot.
    Having trouble with fishing? Willy sells a training rod with a sizable bar to help you catch some of the basic fish, it will help you get your fishing skill up. And, keep in mind, crab pot catches count towards your fishing skill as well.
    Also, talk to each villager at the festivals--even if you can't gift them, it's an easy way to earn friendship points. It adds up.

    One thing I like to do is to plant fiber seeds on all of my crop spaces in winter and letting them stay there until Spring 1 so that when springs comes, I don't have to spend the entire day cleaning up, tilling, and watering the soil! I have 504 crops currently, so it takes me ALL day to get all that space ready for crops if I don't use this trick. (SPOILER WARNING AHEAD)
    -
    To unlock fiber seeds, you need to do the community cleanup quest for Linus. Fiber seeds will grow in any season and they don't have to be watered. BUT, if you set up a sprinkler for them, the sprinklers will still water them. Which is even more useful come Spring 1, because that means that all of the tilled spots will be watered already. So all you have to do is harvest your fiber and then put seeds down.
    AND of course if you put fertilizer down before you plant the fiber seeds, it'll save that fertilizer for your spring crops! AND AND, the fiber plants are only harvested with a scythe, so there's no risk of walking through your fiber plants and accidently harvesting one (unless of course you're walking with your scythe out) AND AND AND it's obviously a great way to save up on fiber for crafting!
    Just try to save up as many mixed seeds as you're going to need for all of your crop spaces. It takes 1 mixed seed to make 4 fiber seeds ( +5 sap and 1 clay), so divide all of your crop spaces by 4 to know how many you'll need. You can either plant them all as soon as winter comes, or you can take a look at the wiki to see when exactly you'll need to plant them in order to be able to harvest them on Spring 1! I hope all of this made sense LOL

    I would say a big tip is to go fishing early game, I found a lot of times i had time and energy to kill at the end of days near the ends of seasons, and even just fishing for 3 hours of in game time can net you a good amount of cash early game, this also helps a lot if you go the fisher - angler route

    • @gsgaming6976
      @gsgaming6976 Před rokem +7

      It's by far the best source of money early. I've made over 7k from a full day of fishing up catfish/treasure, and 4-5k from the ocean (fishing near the big rock off the pier)
      I generally like to go for the Pirate perk early though. The extra sell price on fish is really nice, but treasure chests can get you dino eggs, ancient seeds, gems, bait, and extra ore for sprinklers early, so imo it's more useful just more random. Makes each playthrough feel a bit more unique because if you fish enough you've got a really good chance of getting at least one of the rarer chest items.
      So one run you might get an ancient seed, another run you might get Neptune's Glaive and make up to lvl 80 in the mines ezpz as far as combat goes.

    • @gsgaming6976
      @gsgaming6976 Před rokem +10

      I like to have a little area set aside early with at least 1 stump of every tree type, since you can use your hoe or pickaxe to grab the seeds spread by stumps off the ground.
      That way if you ever need some emergency energy you can just hoe up a few seeds for field snacks, or you can just grab them every now and again for when you are ready to make a tree tappers.

    I love your last tip. I decided to play a farm where I only sold on the last day of the season. The only way to make money throughout the season was to complete posts from the community boards or to fulfill the main game quests. It was a great way to work on my friendships with the townsfolk which I usually neglect. It's my favorite farm. It's almost 5 years old, and I just did the last house upgrade. Throttling back on how often I get a big cash influx forced me to slow down and play the game based more on interactions with the town than focusing on getting to the next money goal. Which is what Grandpa wanted all along. :)

    One idea I haven't ever seen mentioned on any of these videos is having different tools in different hotbars. He touched on this, but I like to have my axe, hoe, and scythe in one row, my weapon and pickaxe in the next, and my fishing rod and pan in the next. This makes it so I have a lot more room to organize my items while giving me access to the kinds of tools I might need for a specific task.

    Tip: If you ever need some spice in your game, it’s never a bad idea to ply with mods that DONT change the game drastically. Im personally not a fan of stuff like the tractor mod but I love aesthetic mods like Character Facelift or Starblue Valley. Just play around, see what you like. It helps a ton.

    About tip 11: Take into account that you not only need 3 Hearts with Linus, but also to have the first house upgrade to cook. Selling 10 Sunfish/Anchovies may only be 300g right now as opposed to 750g when sold as Sashimi. But those 300g can help you a heck of a lot more right now on Spring 10, than the 750g will help you on Summer 15, because by then the gold would have been invested and reinvested to the point where it's become more than 750g worth of profit.

    I just recently started replaying and my first season I just fished so I could save up lots of money to get strawberries and blueberries. I found that worked really well at making money and was a nice little challenge.
    By the end of the first season I think I had maxed my fishing skill and I was making so much money from getting around 30 ish fish a day.
    I also decided to have a no animal farm which made getting a truffle a challenge, but was a big victory when I finally saw it in the travelling cart.
    When choosing my farm layout I went for the one that splits into four to make it a lot easier to diversify. Each part earns money in a different way.

    The final tip is the cherry on the top. I absolutely love taking my time, hand watering my crops, etc. I May spend half a day each sunny day watering crops but I don’t care because it’s so much fun for me. I’m in late summer year 2 on my first save and I’ve truly just been enjoying farming foraging and friends. I literally just unlocked the desert and the skull cavern and stuff but it’s genuinely not that important to me because I’m just running my own little farm and that’s something I wanna do irl at some point and doing it in game is so worth it just because I’m realizing how much fun I’d have actually doing it. I love gardening irl and the farming aspect of sdv I’ve fallen in love with and it’s all just my little fantasy 😂

  • @nyandoesthings

    There's a lot of emphasis on min-maxing on stardew youtube, and don't get me wrong, that is definitely the type of content I enjoy. I love watching insane challenges where you need to be a near-perfect player and make lists and guides to do everything you have to to complete the challenge. But that really ruined my experience of the game for a while. I put in 100 hours on my first farm ever then noticed I hadn't played in a month despite really enjoying the game and having plenty of time to. I even would find other things to do than play. And I realized that I put too much pressure on myself and the farm.
    I got to ginger island in fall (ginger island spoilers ahead obviously)
    I was very frustrated trying to get all the golden walnuts I needed. And like I said, i arrived in fall. And one of the things to get walnuts, the first step to was growing a melon, which is a summer crop. I was very frustrated and a friend told me that melon seeds were sold at the night market. So I was just pretty much waiting on the night market and working on crops. I went to and from the island almost daily to make sure everything was going well on both farms and had to remember each night where I wanted to be in the morning because of an event or birthday and I think two days before the night market I put up stardew for the night and never picked it up again because I didn't want to remember all the sstuff I "had to do".
    I started a new farm. it's going really well. I'm pretty broke, but man I am having a lot more fun.

    One of my favorite examples of a (genuinely helpful!) tip that I purposefully ignore is any way to save tilled spaces for the next season; I find one of my favorite things in Stardew is the absolutely hectic fervor of buying seeds, tilling, watering, fertilizing, and planting everything you need in day 1 of a new season. It's just.. a lot of fun and excitement for me, so I purposefully just let my fields empty naturally as I run out of plants that will mature in time and have fun going to town on day 1 making it all work in time

    One tip that I got that I think is helpful is through Spring-Fall, if you place grass or have grass around any of you animal pens, the animals won't need hay and will eat the grass. When it's raining, I recommend having hay to place in the coops and barns so they don't get mad the next day because they didn't have food. Stock up on hay for the winter since grass doesn't grow in winter! I think this is a good tip when playing especially in early game!
