One suggestion regarding the crab pot, while it is one of the more annoying enemies, Rock Crabs can drop the crab item so if you happen to pick it up you can complete the Crab Pot Bundle without ever crafting a crab pot.
I’ve been trying so hard to grind, but have just accepted the fact that I’m not going to get everything I want done in the first year. Since ive done that, I’ve had so much more fun playing. These videos have helped me so much but I also wanna say for everyone that feels like me, it’s okay not to play perfectly!! Being stressed over a game that is supposed to be fun and peaceful makes you not wanna play anymore!! If you don’t get truffles this season that’s okay!! If you don’t finish the greenhouse that’s okay!! There is always another year. Definitly use these tips and try to aim to finish, but don’t beat yourself up for not ♥️ happy farming!!
Facts 👏👏👏 I usually don't buy the barn and the coop until year 2 because I think it's kinda stressing worrying about the animals, the cave, the fish, the farm, etc all at the same time, so I usually catch all fish, get the bundles that require farming and when I don't have these worries, I get my animals 😅
@jo40p3dr0 I think my first community center was done year 3. I'm looking at mid year 2 on my current farm. Even earlier on my co-op farm we're on pace to have the community center done mid winter year 1.
Please do not unless you want to set up for year 2. Take your time. Literally first few weeks of spring are so task heavy and knowing ins and outs. You spend most of your days praying to RNG for rain and for something you want. Like buy all parsnips, fish on day 2, 3 (guaranteed rain), and 4 for level 5 fishing. Buy all potatoes. All while watering, managing energy, clearing farm for resources. But I’ve entered Winter Y1 with CC completion (you can do it earlier if you complete greenhouse,) and 80k to finish everything for Y2 ancient fruit.
If you plant one of each crop on the very first day then complete the spring crops community bundle the day of the egg festival (you have to do this after the festival at like 11pm) you get 20 speed grow which gives you an entire extra harvest on your strawberries
Hey you there! If you're a casual player, and are a bit overwhelmed and just want to have fun on the game while still making money? Just focus on planting crops. You don't have to get everything you need done on year one. In Stardew there's always another year.
There's no requirement to do all of this. This guide is JUST to help people optimize their activities if they want to complete the community center bundles as fast as possible - *either in Year 1 or by Summer Year 2 minimum* - It's just a suggestion to help you get organized at best. In fact, if I may mention? It's probably best not to stick to all of these the way he says it anyway, because when you've completed all of this? Even though you still have all of Ginger Island, the Desert, the Skull Caverns and more to do? Much of the driving force behind your actions in game is gutted. There's not as much incentive to keep going and achieving things besides making obscene amounts of money, reaching completion or designing a really pretty farm and getting married to someone. (There IS the Qi stuff, but that is not that obvious on how to start it without looking at the wiki or getting lucky, and it's still locked behind some busywork on Ginger Island anyway.) Go at your own pace, set your own goals for when you wanna complete what by. That's the beauty of Stardew Valley, it lets people live a relaxed life in the country where you can do what you want and survive and thrive off the sweat of your own brow. Whether that be literally, or behind a keyboard. Just have fun :)
Tip : you can keep a gold quality strawberry and give to demetrius on his birthday to instantly get to 5 hearts with him and then give him any liked gifts until it is 6 hearts and there's a good chance he will send you a nautilus shell in the mail , and if he sent you anything other than it you can always quit to title, enter your save and check the mail again and you will get it . Also if you can't get a deluxe coop by winter you can kill the flying serpents thing in the skull caverns to get a rabbit's foot as it has a 0.8% to drop it , I killed 86 of them and got 2 . Also I would recommend installing the " Lookupanything " mod to just check how to get certain things or when a fish is caught or liked gifts of villagers or anything in the game .
Also, Demetrius likes eggs and he is pretty much always in the same few areas that are easy to check (mountain lake, at home or in the pub). So gift him eggs whenever you meet him (obviously 2 per week only, the birthday strawberry is not counted towards this limit!) and you will max his hearts pretty fast.
a good tip for new players: ignore the friendships on year 1 and focus on developing ur farm to have a constant decent flow of money (at least 1k a day past spring). i used to always focus on friendships on year 1 and it sets you back by a lot. however if u start focusing on them in year 2 whilst already having money and generating a good amount daily it will be way easier to befriend them as youll have the extra money to buy foods, have resources that they love, or even cook foods yourself. of course the best tip is to take it at your own pace and enjoy the game, but if you want an easier time leave the friendships for year 2 edit: altho that being said you can go ahead and get 2 hearts with caroline (easy to do) so you unlock tea saplings. they sell for 500 (dont plant them just craft and sell) its a very op money maker to boost you up in early game
This is a great tip. My first year, I focused way too much on befriending everyone in the valley. I remember the first season where I remember foraging for tons of daffodils just to give to people (and then not knowing that some villagers hated it?) That depression that hits when a villager tells you they hate your flower is unimaginable.
Omg I am on my 5 year and I haven’t finish the community. You video is amazing thank you for all the explanation I have a notebook to write all down so I need to complete some of this 😊 now I can’t place it on the pixlr is too much for this 70 old lady lol but now I am better because of you..... thank you again and I subscribe so I can follow you 👍🏼❤️
About fall and the deluxe barn: either start the Deluxe barn upgrade on the 10th at the latest, or give up on the year 1 truffle, because fall 14th is the last day you can buy a Pig on, and have it reliably produce a truffle for you. Marnie WILL NOT be open on fall 15th and 16th, and buying a pig on the 17th makes it so if you're unlucky and have rain on the last day of fall, you don't get your truffle.
You can skip having sheep if you befriend Emily. It's a bit reliant on luck though. She likes any gemstones so if you have any extra, give it to her. She will gift you wool and cloth which can be used for the animal and artisan bundle and once your done with the community center, you can gift those items back to her and she will appreciate it.
@@Coldyham yea rabbits are great too but you'll need to get a deluxe coop for that.. i find it easier for me to befriend emily since k usually have plenty spare gemstones. but yeah, rabbits are really good way to skip having sheep!
ik im 11 months late but what i think is best to do is to only focus on the greenhouse on the first year. this guide (as useful as it is) is very focused on getting every single bundle done in a single year which should definitely not be a goal for a new player
Cooked foods can be purchased from Gus - swing by and check his daily specials as often as you can (I buy good foods or occasional coffee from him if I can afford it, for busy times!) - he occasinoally sells fried egg and maki roll. Thank goodness the saloon is open late thus usually easy to get to. Then you don't need to pay for a kitchen upgrade yet. Also: linus might send you maki roll in the post once you befriend him - super easy to do, just hand him any edible you have foraged as you go past him on the map.
Actually you can get all crab pot bundle items without having a single crab pot - stone crabs in the mines (every spicies) has a fairly good chance to drop a crab :)
This is perfect and so satisfying how organized this is. I'm just now trying to get into this game and was wanting to create lists and you have them already! Amazing!
Great guide! The checklist is so easy to follow. I'm still a bit green with SDV and it still takes me a few years to finish the community center because I can't plan to save my life. Definitely going to use this when I take another stab at it (read as "on my next farm file"). Thanks man!
I just started playing Stardew Valley and your guides have been my favorite so far. I also watch your perfection playthrough as I progress through my game. I love that you're fairly chill with playing because I am a slow player who is not into the grind.
Definitely recommend getting a silo before any animals maybe even before any buildings. Allows you to scythe some grass for more space and it is also wicked cheap.
It's worth mentioning that the rock crabs in the mines can drop a crab pot crab, so you can pretty easily finish that bundle without needing any crab pots. Also, the trader sells an actual red cabbage, not a seed, so you can buy the cabbage and donate it directly rather than having to grow one... maybe this was changed from when the video went up. (Spoiler ahead for desert) Finally - I'm a fan of the mushroom cave...not only does it give you all the mats to craft life elixirs, I turn brown mushrooms into fall wild seeds via seed maker.. and then saturdays the desert trader lets you trade 2 fall seeds for 1 winter seed, so building up tons of fall seeds means you can trade them for crops to plant in the winter (if you already have sprinklers might as well make use of them). If you max foraging and go Botanist it basically turns every brown mushroom into a random iridium quality winter forageable (assuming average of 2 seeds per mushroom).
It’s also good to note that truffle oil is used to make rain totems and some fish can be caught in winter if missed in other seasons in winter if it’s raining. (Note snow is not rain it can only be done with the totem)
I almost always get my crabs from sleighing the stupid crabs in the mine, so I never need a crab pot. I often complete that bundle before I ever build an actual crab pot. Lol. Thank you SO MUCH for the guide! I'm doing a year1 cc challenge -- I am a casual player so it's gonna be tough!
Super helpful! Thanks to you, I completed the community center AND unlocked Ginger Island. Having the extra cash early on is a must. 2 hearts friendship with Caroline helped speed things along with the tea sapling recipe.
Since the 1.6 update, it's no longer necessary to have access to the secret woods by the end of summer to get fiddleheads! Just wait for the green rain event, which will happen at some point during the summer
me: wow, thats so relaxed! following this guide will leave me with a nice slower paced save everyone else: wow, thats so much! theres so much to track, how do you do it this is me, realising im not quite the casual i thought lol
My grind. This was a bit tense, not generally recommended, but fun: (Forest Farm) 🌱 I only grew crops for lvling farming to at least 2 for sprinklers, and for completing the bundle. I fish for money (ocean, catfish during rain at lvl 8) and Mine for sprinkler resources (only on best luck days). I do go to options and screenshot the room map and look at the picture to see what's on the Mine lvl I'm on, so I don't waste time on 0, 1 or 2 nodes in big rooms.(Repeat lvl 30&40, exit if no close ladder) I forage only what I run past, I don't waste time looking. Only bundle I have in mind at the start is the Boiler Room for the Mine Carts repair, but other stuff comes naturally. Though I do shift focus to the bundles if I lack anything half way through Spring. (Rain fish focus) I managed to end with 30'000 gold before summer. (I did buy 100 strawberry seeds for 2 harvests (no I did not have sprinklers ready for them....)) Fish gave me energy enough for allot of the mining I did, so I never upgraded my Tools in spring.(Herring low value per energy. NOM) Also placed 30 basic sprinklers early summer for mostly blueberries (Plant it at latest date 3rd) and bundle items + some fertilized melons and corn for quality bundle. I also got steel axe and pick eventually, though axe was most important.(Got fiberglass rod early spring tho) Wood gets scarce fast, and I also replanted trees in hopes for a potential mushroom tree,(I forgot that was a thing) but I'm still only half way into summer. Currently running low on coal. Getting over 100 ore from a run will tear into your supply. Any advice is welcome to improve my run!
I just thought I'd pop in and say I just really like your guides and vids and find them extremely relaxing (and very helpful although I've been playing Stardew for over a year!). Great stuff
This checklist has actually helped me do a year 1 community center completion, I did it on a beach farm and was done on Winter 7, I felt like that was kinda slowish and that I could shave off some time so I’m going back at it again this time on a forest farm, even learned clay farming to help make early money for building and bundles, feels better already
Gold parsnips can be hard to get in Y1, so I've found putting the energy into money making crops works best for me & donating the pumpkins when I'm at a place I can afford to lose a bit of profit. You'll most likely find a good amount of red mushrooms in the mines, which means you can finish the exotic bundle before getting to the desert. Others have already pointed out that you don't need a crab pot to complete the crab pot bundle, as most of the items can be foraged & a crab can be obtained by rock crabs in the mines. Making friends with Emily will cause her to send wool, cloth, & sea urchins. I still like to rely mainly on melons & pumpkins for cash. Pickled pumpkins are op! Melons make good money as wine too. Processing produce will always bump up the sell price. Great video, though!! I'll definitely be using this as a guide in the future. :)
Tip: you can sometimes get an ancient seed from the traveling cart. If you have the money to get it and it’s spring/early summer, absolutely get it. It’ll be a great boost for your eventual greenhouse :)
Not really. This is just a guide in case you want to complete everything by year 1, but that’s what beautiful in stardew valley, you can do things at your own pace :)
For anyone using this guide now, don't worry about the steel axe if you don't want to. There is an event in summer that allows you to get fiddlehead fern without it now. It's still good to upgrade your axe but don't worry if you don't
I always hold mushroom cave as better because you can turn them into seeds and then into tea saplings which is one of the most profitable items in the game to sell Also, for truffles, do not sell them until you’re level ten foraging. The gatherer profession will make every truffle iridium quality and worth more than 1k per truffle, plus the profession chosen before it can make you harvest double anyway. This is because they are counted as mushrooms, a forage item, rather than an animal product. This is more profitable than turning them into oils
I got a coconut and a rabbits foot from the traveling cart. (I didnt complete the community center in my 1st year tho as this was my first ever run) im gonna start a new game and go through this checlist, very helpful ❤
I am guessing that "guarantee year one completion" must be something from the 1.5 update as I have never seen it on the mobile version where we are still on 1.4. Note: one of the items that the wizard will send you in the mail as you increase your friendship level with him is a purple mushroom. I have found it to be the item that I receive from him most frequently. Given his hair, I suspect purple might be his favorite color. Marnie will send you hay in the mail as your friendship with her grows or you can get it by cutting grass with your scythe once you have a silo so there is no need to buy hay from Marnie. I like the way you illustrated and broke down the suggestions by time of year.
When I say year 1 completion I’m refering to finishing the community bundles, it’s a challenge that many people do to make Winter more interesting, since a lot is unlocked after that
@@salmence100 yes, but you mentioned selecting an option for "year one completion" that guarantees that the travelling cart will have the red cabbage during the first year. That option must be part of the 1.5 update for Stardew Valley as we don't have it available on mobile devices. That it what I was talking about.
@@johnthoppil7308 Concerned Ape recently said that we will have 1.5 by the end of this year. I doubt I will start a new save for it, but it is good to know. Thank you
@@doreenplatt3873 I have (on one of three playthroughs) seen the red cabbage in the traveling cart on mobile. To be fair, that was the only playthrough I had checked the cart every week, and it appeared week two of spring. It was the cabbage itself, not the seed. I'm not sure how common it appears there though.
QUICK TIP IF YOU MISSED A FRUIT TREE: Once you get the pantry completed you can grow fruit from a fruit tree at any time while inside the greenhouse! Just make sure to finish the pantry before winter and you should be set.
An important note for the ones that want to do complete cc in the first year: There is one mushroom only spawning in SPRING in the secret woods.. MOREL mushroom! Kinda difficult, and I think (not sure) the traveling cart sometimes sells it... But if u wanna be sure, upgrade that axe to get into the secret woods a little more quickly 😅
You can also start with the forest farm and theres a chance it will just spawn there. I just restarted stardew after 2 years not playing at all and I stumbled into them just cleaning up my farm
I know this is over two years old, but you don't have to buy the Maki Roll recipe, just watch the cooking show every week. On my current run, I *did* buy the recipe, and it was on The Queen of Sauce literally the next day, lol.
Usually i do remixed bundles along with 50% profit margin and aimed Qi walnut room before pass year 1. I found that was really fun, remember you play with challenge and limited time to get required items. Bulletin board bundle is very stressful for me, especially with chef bundle request 😊
I generally feel like planning on completing the community center year two takes a lot of pressure off of the game. Especially since you need to be on the friendship grind too... I personally find that optimizing animals is the hardest early, since I need to clear enough space for them before investing in them. And cash crops are so much better to invest your early money into...
I mean I personally I would try to unlock all the crops bundles at least before winter so you get the greenhouse. Everything else can wait for year 2. (Well I did manage to open the vault in year 1 so I can get the bus for the Desert.)
mushroom cave is super underrated imo, it gives you a steady supply of common mushrooms which gives +38 energy, lets you craft plenty of life elixir, helps fill bundles, guarantees 6 mushrooms every day, and only produces 5 varieties which keeps your inventory from getting clogged up and is easier to organize. I usually plant fruit trees anyway so I almost always pick mushroom cave
I played hard my first time and got the grandpa award thing after year 2. This time, I’m just taking it slow. Landscaping, talking to the townspeople, finding Easter eggs. There’s no rush
For cash crops, I have another idea (I don't care for the berry crops all that much). Melons for summer (year 1 - I'm never in the desert by then), and Pumpkins for fall. In my view, profit is profit, and waiting to maximize it sometimes works well. Melons are needed for a story quest, other help wanted quests, and are good for putting into Preserves Jars for eventual Artisan profit. I just wait for Farming skill 10. You get a Jar as a bundle reward. And I generally get to Farming 10 some time in Fall. In fact, I plan for it. They are also used for cooking Pink Cake. Pumpkins are for a story quest and at least one help wanted quest. They also make a nicely profitable Pumpkin Juice from a Keg, one of which you get as another bundle reward. And there's more cooking. For that matter, I always grow Yams for the same cooking reason. And planting a field of yams on day 1 of Fall, you can get two yam harvests plus one Amaranth harvest within the season. Amaranth covers another story quest. And all three crops are quite profitable in themselves, if you just really need the money that much. Which goes for Melons too. It's really nice to see what profits a large field of Pumpkins can produce by turning it into juice, though. You'll need several dozen Kegs, but each batch takes less than 4 days and yields over 1K gold per Keg. This goes quite far to get some of those funds needed for furthers developments later.
@@icerx2140 I wouldn't say so. Melons give good profit as Jelly (Preserves Jars), adequate profit as wine (Kegs). The big difference is processing time. One PJ will make 2 Jellies in about the same as one Keg will make wine. So your supply of melons may dictate. Pumpkin pickles (PJ) are not so profitable compared to juice (Keg). And juice is faster to produce for Kegs than wines from other crops. This is definitely the best profit-maker of the bunch. If you're selling the crops themselves, the whole equation is different. I tend not to favor the berries because they don't have options that are as good when used for artisan produce. But as crops, they're fairly good.
@@farmergiles1065 you are completely wrong i think you dont know how juice works it 2.25Xs the price of a vegetable and pickles 2.25X and add additional 50g to the price of a vegetable. Yes kegs are way more profitable when it comes to wine but it take vast amount of time to setup compared to preserve jars
@@icerx2140 You're certainly free to pursue it all as you wish. I find Preserves Jars to be excessively expensive to set up because of the large amounts of Coal it takes. But I usually end up with almost 300 Kegs, and accumulate what it takes to get there by the end of Summer year 2, and do that without undue strain. If you find all that hard to believe, I ask you believe it anyway. It's not that I don't understand. I understand perfectly well. I just think the whole matter proves that we approach play in quite different ways, and so we end up in different places. Nothing wring with that.
Some stuff to note about kale. Same growth time as potatoes. Kale sells for a bit more than potatoes, though potatoes will give you more especially if you get lucky with the 25% chance for an extra potato. Kale does give you more farming exp. Plus it's faster to harvest with a scythe if that matters to you. Kale also costs more per seed than potatoes, so you will water fewer plants. Potatoes are used for hashbrowns though, which will give you a farming +1 buff. Hashbrowns also require oil, which isn't easy to get year 1
Idk if this was mentioned but Sam has a cutscene in summer year one you can't view year two. I don't wanna drop any spoilers, but you'l understand why it's not viewable in year two when you play. So for first play through you can just gift Sam some joja cola until you can afford the pizza or beer early on to get access to it. Than do the rest of the friendships after you got the greenhouse unlocked or in whatever order you want. Just check the wiki snd some info if you care about completing story. There are other missable cut scenes like if you marry before dating every candidate, and Clint has missable scenes I believe dependent on your friendship level with Emily.
I started a new save to attend year 1 community center, and I am getting the BEST luck. I have ancient seeds and dinosaur egg by the end of spring 1. Not related, but I just wanted to share.
I’m in year three and I haven’t even begun working on relations with villagers, farm animals, and actual farming. I just sit in Spring and plant coffee beans that continue to grow into Summer. Because of the value and how a single plant drops four bean seeds, I sell those seeds for a profit of around 440-460. As soon as it’s Fall, I go out and grab eggplant seeds. I let those grow, and after harvest I’d pickle them. After a few days, they’d be pickled and I’d get to harvest more. Selling the pickled eggplants go for around 500-570. So far into the game, I’ve made a total of 45,000 G. I spent a total of 22 hours in the game.
This is the best stardew guide ever! I started playing last year but got overwhelmed with how many things there are to do and so i cheated jus to see what would happen if i completed the CC. please make a year 2 guide because if i run out of things to do i might get bored :DD
Damn I'm on my first playthrough ever and I'm halfway through summer without having done half of the things you suggested for spring LOL I guess I'll start being more careful with how I manage my time
@@feddy1103 I just started the game and all these YT videos are stressing me out 😂😭 I’ve barely done any of the spring stuff and I’m at the end of my first spring.
@@DDoubleEDouble I started 2 weeks ago and I’m currently in winter. Don’t stress yourself, I only have the first kind of chicken coop and now I’m working in my barn. I mean I just NOW upgraded my ax to copper, I didn’t have the time for the mines. Just play in your own pace, there’s no hurry.
a tip when it comes to getting dino egg if you have skull cavern go to stardew predictor it will tell you which floor is dinosaur floor and on days where dinosaur floor is very low like 6 you can easily get dino egg
Not gonna lie i pickt up stardew vally in spring sale and thought "ohh yea, a farm game that can't be to complicated" and got OVERWHELMED by the amount of stuff to do lost what i have to fokus and kinda lost interessed because of all thats to do, now with a sertent plan in mind i did pick it back up and enjoyed it alot more :D thank you.
You don’t actually need to use any crab pots for the bundle because in the mines you can kill rock crabs and there’s a 15% chance you can get a crab.(yes I know someone already made a similar comment but I really don’t mean any hate to them and I thought of this while watching the video so I didn’t copy them.)
thanks this really helped out. I just started and got this game a couple of days ago, I have been playing and I am now mid winter. I kind of neglected the cc because I just felt like exploring and figuring stuff out. Now I am getting into year 2 and I plan to try to work on the cc this year and then hopefully get it done the year after. I am really setup. I have a great farm and loads of upgrades and aminails so the cc will be pretty easy I think. I only need to look out for the crops and do these things. I also have some ancient seeds and a seed maker and I am going to setup a ancient fruit farm day 1 spring. I will turn those into wine and just make loads of profit once my farm is big to help snowball my money and this just helps for buying things I might need from the trader or shop or whatever
Just a note on the missing bundle, you can buy a gold quality wine from Gus on Ginger Island! This makes all 5 super easy to get, and keeps your prismatic shard
I got really lucky! Didn't get my basic small coop and barn until the end of summer ... so I couldn't upgrade to big yet until the end of fall .... the fri/sun merchant I got big eggs/duck eggs/truffles from him to get me through
Winter: “you should have finished all of your farming bundles” Me in fall currently: just got my first chicken because I’ve been focused of please all the townspeople my entire game and missed multiple bundles 💀
my quality crop bundle required 5 golden cauliflower and i was like rip as i didn't notice in time . Cauliflower takes forever to grow plus you don't have enough energy at the beginning to grow as much as you need/want
I Am currently in the BEGINNING year 2... Winter was a bitch, lol I managed to build a coop, bought 3 chickens, upgraded all tools to steel... Now in spring year 2 hopefully will be able to complete the spring season. Sigh... Wish me luck, lol
The only other thing that I can think of to get earlier in Spring is the Silo so that you can feed your animals with your weeds that you can cut rather than buying all the hay to feed all your animals.
One suggestion regarding the crab pot, while it is one of the more annoying enemies, Rock Crabs can drop the crab item so if you happen to pick it up you can complete the Crab Pot Bundle without ever crafting a crab pot.
True, that's how i always go for the crab pot bundle.
I found that out by accident haha
Both times I've played through, this is how I did that bundle lol. I don't think I've ever actually built a crab pot
And you can get enough of the stuff you need from foraging the beach to complete the bundle
I cleared it before I got access to crab pots because of that :p
I’ve been trying so hard to grind, but have just accepted the fact that I’m not going to get everything I want done in the first year. Since ive done that, I’ve had so much more fun playing. These videos have helped me so much but I also wanna say for everyone that feels like me, it’s okay not to play perfectly!! Being stressed over a game that is supposed to be fun and peaceful makes you not wanna play anymore!! If you don’t get truffles this season that’s okay!! If you don’t finish the greenhouse that’s okay!! There is always another year. Definitly use these tips and try to aim to finish, but don’t beat yourself up for not ♥️ happy farming!!
Agreed. ❤️
Facts 👏👏👏 I usually don't buy the barn and the coop until year 2 because I think it's kinda stressing worrying about the animals, the cave, the fish, the farm, etc all at the same time, so I usually catch all fish, get the bundles that require farming and when I don't have these worries, I get my animals 😅
@jo40p3dr0 I think my first community center was done year 3. I'm looking at mid year 2 on my current farm. Even earlier on my co-op farm we're on pace to have the community center done mid winter year 1.
I failed eight different times trying to click the read more button on this comment lol
Please do not unless you want to set up for year 2. Take your time.
Literally first few weeks of spring are so task heavy and knowing ins and outs. You spend most of your days praying to RNG for rain and for something you want.
Like buy all parsnips, fish on day 2, 3 (guaranteed rain), and 4 for level 5 fishing. Buy all potatoes. All while watering, managing energy, clearing farm for resources. But I’ve entered Winter Y1 with CC completion (you can do it earlier if you complete greenhouse,) and 80k to finish everything for Y2 ancient fruit.
If you plant one of each crop on the very first day then complete the spring crops community bundle the day of the egg festival (you have to do this after the festival at like 11pm) you get 20 speed grow which gives you an entire extra harvest on your strawberries
Great gotta restart for the 5th time 😂
@@jameshwang5387 That's the beginner stardew farmer life!
@@jameshwang5387so it's just not me thank god
@@jameshwang5387should.. i do it..
Tried this but didn't plan enough and ended up hitting 2am before I planted all 100 of my strawberries :'(
Hey you there! If you're a casual player, and are a bit overwhelmed and just want to have fun on the game while still making money? Just focus on planting crops. You don't have to get everything you need done on year one. In Stardew there's always another year.
Thank you! I needed that grace 😅 I'm in year 2 and way behind the average players I think 🙏🏻
Agreed, I've been taking my time and not worrying about when to get items, there's no rush, so why hurry, y'know?
This guide makes me feel like I need to start completely over. It’s my 27th day of summer and I am not even REMOTELY close to any of this!
There's no requirement to do all of this. This guide is JUST to help people optimize their activities if they want to complete the community center bundles as fast as possible - *either in Year 1 or by Summer Year 2 minimum* - It's just a suggestion to help you get organized at best. In fact, if I may mention? It's probably best not to stick to all of these the way he says it anyway, because when you've completed all of this? Even though you still have all of Ginger Island, the Desert, the Skull Caverns and more to do? Much of the driving force behind your actions in game is gutted. There's not as much incentive to keep going and achieving things besides making obscene amounts of money, reaching completion or designing a really pretty farm and getting married to someone. (There IS the Qi stuff, but that is not that obvious on how to start it without looking at the wiki or getting lucky, and it's still locked behind some busywork on Ginger Island anyway.)
Go at your own pace, set your own goals for when you wanna complete what by. That's the beauty of Stardew Valley, it lets people live a relaxed life in the country where you can do what you want and survive and thrive off the sweat of your own brow. Whether that be literally, or behind a keyboard. Just have fun :)
Its not a game that u need to rush, if you finish the community in year 2 is ok, just play as you like
The only differense is that im on summer 28
@@Robodorisen year 3 summer and I haven't finished community center yet lol.
I need to stop watching these guides. They make me feel bad lol
honestly i just do the majority of things in year 1 but things like the fruit trees i usually buy them at the end of year 1 with the greenhouse
Tip : you can keep a gold quality strawberry and give to demetrius on his birthday to instantly get to 5 hearts with him and then give him any liked gifts until it is 6 hearts and there's a good chance he will send you a nautilus shell in the mail , and if he sent you anything other than it you can always quit to title, enter your save and check the mail again and you will get it .
Also if you can't get a deluxe coop by winter you can kill the flying serpents thing in the skull caverns to get a rabbit's foot as it has a 0.8% to drop it , I killed 86 of them and got 2 .
Also I would recommend installing the " Lookupanything " mod to just check how to get certain things or when a fish is caught or liked gifts of villagers or anything in the game .
funny, 86 is code for death by decapitation.
Also, Demetrius likes eggs and he is pretty much always in the same few areas that are easy to check (mountain lake, at home or in the pub). So gift him eggs whenever you meet him (obviously 2 per week only, the birthday strawberry is not counted towards this limit!) and you will max his hearts pretty fast.
I didn't make it to the skull cavern the first time until year 3. I would not rush year 1 for it personally.
thanks! that mod sounds more convenient than having to constantly alt-tab to the wiki
Does anyone like Demetrius?
An updated version of this checklist for 1.6 would be fantastic, pretty please! :D
a good tip for new players: ignore the friendships on year 1 and focus on developing ur farm to have a constant decent flow of money (at least 1k a day past spring). i used to always focus on friendships on year 1 and it sets you back by a lot. however if u start focusing on them in year 2 whilst already having money and generating a good amount daily it will be way easier to befriend them as youll have the extra money to buy foods, have resources that they love, or even cook foods yourself. of course the best tip is to take it at your own pace and enjoy the game, but if you want an easier time leave the friendships for year 2
edit: altho that being said you can go ahead and get 2 hearts with caroline (easy to do) so you unlock tea saplings. they sell for 500 (dont plant them just craft and sell) its a very op money maker to boost you up in early game
This is a great tip. My first year, I focused way too much on befriending everyone in the valley. I remember the first season where I remember foraging for tons of daffodils just to give to people (and then not knowing that some villagers hated it?) That depression that hits when a villager tells you they hate your flower is unimaginable.
The only time I really do anything related with friendships in the first year are birthdays usually a liked gift is good enough
But give a pizza to Sam in his birthday to get 3 hearts and get his heart event that is only avaliable in year 1
I only focus on friendship when i have a coop full of rabbits.
OR, Marry Haley before fall year 1 like a true chad
Omg I am on my 5 year and I haven’t finish the community. You video is amazing thank you for all the explanation I have a notebook to write all down so I need to complete some of this 😊 now I can’t place it on the pixlr is too much for this 70 old lady lol but now I am better because of you..... thank you again and I subscribe so I can follow you 👍🏼❤️
omg this is so sweet! have you finished the community center yet?
Did you finish the center yet?
the crash was *so* alarming in the middle of the summer guide that it really made me laugh lmao
What song is that??????
About fall and the deluxe barn: either start the Deluxe barn upgrade on the 10th at the latest, or give up on the year 1 truffle, because fall 14th is the last day you can buy a Pig on, and have it reliably produce a truffle for you. Marnie WILL NOT be open on fall 15th and 16th, and buying a pig on the 17th makes it so if you're unlucky and have rain on the last day of fall, you don't get your truffle.
This is one of the best relaxing farming games I have ever tried. No matter how long, I always come back and play it.
Bro its 2024. I love playing stardew. I watched this video and I think this is the best stardew valley guide you could find
You can skip having sheep if you befriend Emily. It's a bit reliant on luck though. She likes any gemstones so if you have any extra, give it to her. She will gift you wool and cloth which can be used for the animal and artisan bundle and once your done with the community center, you can gift those items back to her and she will appreciate it.
You can skip sheep by having rabbits too
@@Coldyham yea rabbits are great too but you'll need to get a deluxe coop for that.. i find it easier for me to befriend emily since k usually have plenty spare gemstones. but yeah, rabbits are really good way to skip having sheep!
I skipped sheep using rabbits, though I also didn’t finish the community center until year 3 so I guess that’s pretty telling
Soggy newspaper in the recycler has a chance to give you cloth too
Don’t forget to keep a Gold quality Cauliflower for the soup!
Just did that today, I didn't plan it but I had one, and they said the soup was GREAT! Glad I didn't add the grapes😆
I usually just fish for a gold sturgeon. I believe it also can be used. Unless I'm mistaken
I added red cabbage and it worked as well!! 😊
I used gold kale and it worked great!
Just put the underwear in there
This is unbelievably overwhelming lmfao. How in the world do you keep track of all of this. More to keep up with than my real fucking life
ik im 11 months late but what i think is best to do is to only focus on the greenhouse on the first year. this guide (as useful as it is) is very focused on getting every single bundle done in a single year which should definitely not be a goal for a new player
Cooked foods can be purchased from Gus - swing by and check his daily specials as often as you can (I buy good foods or occasional coffee from him if I can afford it, for busy times!) - he occasinoally sells fried egg and maki roll. Thank goodness the saloon is open late thus usually easy to get to. Then you don't need to pay for a kitchen upgrade yet.
Also: linus might send you maki roll in the post once you befriend him - super easy to do, just hand him any edible you have foraged as you go past him on the map.
This has helped me massivley understand the core mechanics throughout my first year. Thanks!
Actually you can get all crab pot bundle items without having a single crab pot - stone crabs in the mines (every spicies) has a fairly good chance to drop a crab :)
This is perfect and so satisfying how organized this is. I'm just now trying to get into this game and was wanting to create lists and you have them already! Amazing!
Great guide! The checklist is so easy to follow. I'm still a bit green with SDV and it still takes me a few years to finish the community center because I can't plan to save my life. Definitely going to use this when I take another stab at it (read as "on my next farm file"). Thanks man!
I just started playing Stardew Valley and your guides have been my favorite so far. I also watch your perfection playthrough as I progress through my game. I love that you're fairly chill with playing because I am a slow player who is not into the grind.
Watching this in the middle of year two seeing what I’ve missed
Definitely recommend getting a silo before any animals maybe even before any buildings. Allows you to scythe some grass for more space and it is also wicked cheap.
Thanks to this checklist I completed the Community Center on Day 3 of Winter, Year 1
It's worth mentioning that the rock crabs in the mines can drop a crab pot crab, so you can pretty easily finish that bundle without needing any crab pots.
Also, the trader sells an actual red cabbage, not a seed, so you can buy the cabbage and donate it directly rather than having to grow one... maybe this was changed from when the video went up.
(Spoiler ahead for desert) Finally - I'm a fan of the mushroom cave...not only does it give you all the mats to craft life elixirs, I turn brown mushrooms into fall wild seeds via seed maker.. and then saturdays the desert trader lets you trade 2 fall seeds for 1 winter seed, so building up tons of fall seeds means you can trade them for crops to plant in the winter (if you already have sprinklers might as well make use of them). If you max foraging and go Botanist it basically turns every brown mushroom into a random iridium quality winter forageable (assuming average of 2 seeds per mushroom).
You can get wild seeds from a seed maker? I thought you can only craft them
@@Coli2603 I believe it's only Fall Seeds from Common Mushrooms and Summer Seeds from Spice Berries
@@ingridplata2411 Also Spring Seeds from Wild Horseradish and Winter Seeds from Winter Root.
It’s also good to note that truffle oil is used to make rain totems and some fish can be caught in winter if missed in other seasons in winter if it’s raining. (Note snow is not rain it can only be done with the totem)
I almost always get my crabs from sleighing the stupid crabs in the mine, so I never need a crab pot. I often complete that bundle before I ever build an actual crab pot. Lol. Thank you SO MUCH for the guide! I'm doing a year1 cc challenge -- I am a casual player so it's gonna be tough!
Super helpful! Thanks to you, I completed the community center AND unlocked Ginger Island. Having the extra cash early on is a must. 2 hearts friendship with Caroline helped speed things along with the tea sapling recipe.
Since the 1.6 update, it's no longer necessary to have access to the secret woods by the end of summer to get fiddleheads! Just wait for the green rain event, which will happen at some point during the summer
me: wow, thats so relaxed! following this guide will leave me with a nice slower paced save
everyone else: wow, thats so much! theres so much to track, how do you do it
this is me, realising im not quite the casual i thought lol
This is so helpful! I just took a screenshot of the checklist on my phone. Thanks!
Good luck, hope it helps!
My grind. This was a bit tense, not generally recommended, but fun:
(Forest Farm) 🌱
I only grew crops for lvling farming to at least 2 for sprinklers, and for completing the bundle. I fish for money (ocean, catfish during rain at lvl 8) and Mine for sprinkler resources (only on best luck days). I do go to options and screenshot the room map and look at the picture to see what's on the Mine lvl I'm on, so I don't waste time on 0, 1 or 2 nodes in big rooms.(Repeat lvl 30&40, exit if no close ladder) I forage only what I run past, I don't waste time looking. Only bundle I have in mind at the start is the Boiler Room for the Mine Carts repair, but other stuff comes naturally. Though I do shift focus to the bundles if I lack anything half way through Spring. (Rain fish focus) I managed to end with 30'000 gold before summer. (I did buy 100 strawberry seeds for 2 harvests (no I did not have sprinklers ready for them....)) Fish gave me energy enough for allot of the mining I did, so I never upgraded my Tools in spring.(Herring low value per energy. NOM) Also placed 30 basic sprinklers early summer for mostly blueberries (Plant it at latest date 3rd) and bundle items + some fertilized melons and corn for quality bundle. I also got steel axe and pick eventually, though axe was most important.(Got fiberglass rod early spring tho) Wood gets scarce fast, and I also replanted trees in hopes for a potential mushroom tree,(I forgot that was a thing) but I'm still only half way into summer. Currently running low on coal. Getting over 100 ore from a run will tear into your supply.
Any advice is welcome to improve my run!
I just thought I'd pop in and say I just really like your guides and vids and find them extremely relaxing (and very helpful although I've been playing Stardew for over a year!). Great stuff
I'm in my first year and this guide is perfect! Thank you for making it so practical and easy to follow/understand
I think I like this better than the progression guides you made just because it gives all the info I need and I feel less directed
This checklist has actually helped me do a year 1 community center completion, I did it on a beach farm and was done on Winter 7, I felt like that was kinda slowish and that I could shave off some time so I’m going back at it again this time on a forest farm, even learned clay farming to help make early money for building and bundles, feels better already
Gold parsnips can be hard to get in Y1, so I've found putting the energy into money making crops works best for me & donating the pumpkins when I'm at a place I can afford to lose a bit of profit.
You'll most likely find a good amount of red mushrooms in the mines, which means you can finish the exotic bundle before getting to the desert. Others have already pointed out that you don't need a crab pot to complete the crab pot bundle, as most of the items can be foraged & a crab can be obtained by rock crabs in the mines. Making friends with Emily will cause her to send wool, cloth, & sea urchins.
I still like to rely mainly on melons & pumpkins for cash. Pickled pumpkins are op! Melons make good money as wine too. Processing produce will always bump up the sell price.
Great video, though!! I'll definitely be using this as a guide in the future. :)
if you own a chair you can put it inside of the log to get to the secret forest. no axe needed :)
I did this on switch version and got stuck lol
@@Dumbaxxi to leave the forest you need to put the chair after the log so you can jump to the other side :)
Tip: you can sometimes get an ancient seed from the traveling cart. If you have the money to get it and it’s spring/early summer, absolutely get it. It’ll be a great boost for your eventual greenhouse :)
Idk why but almost every time I check the traveling cart it's at the bottom for purchase. Maybe that was an update?
@@nixipixi8945 that's the rare seed, right?
@@Coldyham yeah your right lol I got them mixed up.
wow, i'm so bad at this game.
Mood.
😂
I felt that 😅💕
Not really. This is just a guide in case you want to complete everything by year 1, but that’s what beautiful in stardew valley, you can do things at your own pace :)
You literally cannot be bad at this game. Are you having fun? If the answer is yes, you're doing great.
For anyone using this guide now, don't worry about the steel axe if you don't want to. There is an event in summer that allows you to get fiddlehead fern without it now. It's still good to upgrade your axe but don't worry if you don't
Can you make one of these for year 2? I’m almost at year 2 and would love for another one of the guides. This is the most helpful guide I’ve seen yet
Pretty much the exact same, except you can now buy red cabbage seeds from Pierre, so just plant it in the ground in Summer. 🤷🏻♀️
@@VaryaEQ this is why we need salmence to do it (no offence u were helpful)
I always hold mushroom cave as better because you can turn them into seeds and then into tea saplings which is one of the most profitable items in the game to sell
Also, for truffles, do not sell them until you’re level ten foraging. The gatherer profession will make every truffle iridium quality and worth more than 1k per truffle, plus the profession chosen before it can make you harvest double anyway. This is because they are counted as mushrooms, a forage item, rather than an animal product. This is more profitable than turning them into oils
I got a coconut and a rabbits foot from the traveling cart. (I didnt complete the community center in my 1st year tho as this was my first ever run) im gonna start a new game and go through this checlist, very helpful ❤
I am guessing that "guarantee year one completion" must be something from the 1.5 update as I have never seen it on the mobile version where we are still on 1.4. Note: one of the items that the wizard will send you in the mail as you increase your friendship level with him is a purple mushroom. I have found it to be the item that I receive from him most frequently. Given his hair, I suspect purple might be his favorite color. Marnie will send you hay in the mail as your friendship with her grows or you can get it by cutting grass with your scythe once you have a silo so there is no need to buy hay from Marnie. I like the way you illustrated and broke down the suggestions by time of year.
When I say year 1 completion I’m refering to finishing the community bundles, it’s a challenge that many people do to make Winter more interesting, since a lot is unlocked after that
@@salmence100 yes, but you mentioned selecting an option for "year one completion" that guarantees that the travelling cart will have the red cabbage during the first year. That option must be part of the 1.5 update for Stardew Valley as we don't have it available on mobile devices. That it what I was talking about.
@@doreenplatt3873 it's part of the advanced options when starting a new save, and it is part of 1.5
@@johnthoppil7308 Concerned Ape recently said that we will have 1.5 by the end of this year. I doubt I will start a new save for it, but it is good to know. Thank you
@@doreenplatt3873 I have (on one of three playthroughs) seen the red cabbage in the traveling cart on mobile. To be fair, that was the only playthrough I had checked the cart every week, and it appeared week two of spring. It was the cabbage itself, not the seed.
I'm not sure how common it appears there though.
2 things, try and get 2 rabbit’s feet for the secret note quest, also the chair glitch is an option for those who don’t want to level their axe
QUICK TIP IF YOU MISSED A FRUIT TREE:
Once you get the pantry completed you can grow fruit from a fruit tree at any time while inside the greenhouse!
Just make sure to finish the pantry before winter and you should be set.
I am binge watching all your guides, thanks for the content 👍
Thanks for the checklist image, very thoughtful of you!
An important note for the ones that want to do complete cc in the first year: There is one mushroom only spawning in SPRING in the secret woods.. MOREL mushroom! Kinda difficult, and I think (not sure) the traveling cart sometimes sells it... But if u wanna be sure, upgrade that axe to get into the secret woods a little more quickly 😅
You can also start with the forest farm and theres a chance it will just spawn there. I just restarted stardew after 2 years not playing at all and I stumbled into them just cleaning up my farm
I know this is over two years old, but you don't have to buy the Maki Roll recipe, just watch the cooking show every week. On my current run, I *did* buy the recipe, and it was on The Queen of Sauce literally the next day, lol.
I'm just on the last day of Fall and looking at this is making me wanna start all over 😅
Usually i do remixed bundles along with 50% profit margin and aimed Qi walnut room before pass year 1. I found that was really fun, remember you play with challenge and limited time to get required items. Bulletin board bundle is very stressful for me, especially with chef bundle request 😊
Another thing about fiddlehead ferns, they have a chance to also be found in the secret woods! I have actually found one in there once
I always think on Thursday
“oh i should check the Traveling Merchant, he’ll be here soon”
And then I blink twice and it’s Sunday 😭
Totally late to the game, but thank you! Your guides are so helpful!!
I was making a year one list then found you video so thanks you've saves me some time and it's better then mine :D
You'll need at least a 2nd cauliflower in spring for Jodi's request.
I generally feel like planning on completing the community center year two takes a lot of pressure off of the game. Especially since you need to be on the friendship grind too...
I personally find that optimizing animals is the hardest early, since I need to clear enough space for them before investing in them. And cash crops are so much better to invest your early money into...
I mean I personally I would try to unlock all the crops bundles at least before winter so you get the greenhouse. Everything else can wait for year 2. (Well I did manage to open the vault in year 1 so I can get the bus for the Desert.)
@@kpoppy9635 stuff like bus or greenhouse is good for year 1
Grind friendship without rabbits is just painful
mushroom cave is super underrated imo, it gives you a steady supply of common mushrooms which gives +38 energy, lets you craft plenty of life elixir, helps fill bundles, guarantees 6 mushrooms every day, and only produces 5 varieties which keeps your inventory from getting clogged up and is easier to organize. I usually plant fruit trees anyway so I almost always pick mushroom cave
This is just one of the BEST guides. Thank you!
wow, so much to learn 🤯 i have the feeling i'll be coming back to this video often lol
12:30 you can get rabbit's foot (i have no idea why) killing the serpents (i forgot those snake names) in the skull cavern, i got 2 when killing them.
I played hard my first time and got the grandpa award thing after year 2. This time, I’m just taking it slow. Landscaping, talking to the townspeople, finding Easter eggs. There’s no rush
For cash crops, I have another idea (I don't care for the berry crops all that much). Melons for summer (year 1 - I'm never in the desert by then), and Pumpkins for fall. In my view, profit is profit, and waiting to maximize it sometimes works well.
Melons are needed for a story quest, other help wanted quests, and are good for putting into Preserves Jars for eventual Artisan profit. I just wait for Farming skill 10. You get a Jar as a bundle reward. And I generally get to Farming 10 some time in Fall. In fact, I plan for it. They are also used for cooking Pink Cake.
Pumpkins are for a story quest and at least one help wanted quest. They also make a nicely profitable Pumpkin Juice from a Keg, one of which you get as another bundle reward. And there's more cooking. For that matter, I always grow Yams for the same cooking reason. And planting a field of yams on day 1 of Fall, you can get two yam harvests plus one Amaranth harvest within the season. Amaranth covers another story quest. And all three crops are quite profitable in themselves, if you just really need the money that much. Which goes for Melons too.
It's really nice to see what profits a large field of Pumpkins can produce by turning it into juice, though. You'll need several dozen Kegs, but each batch takes less than 4 days and yields over 1K gold per Keg. This goes quite far to get some of those funds needed for furthers developments later.
In conclusion melons/pumpkins if you can make jam/pickles
Blueberries/cranberries if you cant
@@icerx2140 I wouldn't say so. Melons give good profit as Jelly (Preserves Jars), adequate profit as wine (Kegs). The big difference is processing time. One PJ will make 2 Jellies in about the same as one Keg will make wine. So your supply of melons may dictate.
Pumpkin pickles (PJ) are not so profitable compared to juice (Keg). And juice is faster to produce for Kegs than wines from other crops. This is definitely the best profit-maker of the bunch.
If you're selling the crops themselves, the whole equation is different. I tend not to favor the berries because they don't have options that are as good when used for artisan produce. But as crops, they're fairly good.
@@farmergiles1065 you are completely wrong i think you dont know how juice works it 2.25Xs the price of a vegetable and pickles 2.25X and add additional 50g to the price of a vegetable.
Yes kegs are way more profitable when it comes to wine but it take vast amount of time to setup compared to preserve jars
@@icerx2140 You're certainly free to pursue it all as you wish. I find Preserves Jars to be excessively expensive to set up because of the large amounts of Coal it takes. But I usually end up with almost 300 Kegs, and accumulate what it takes to get there by the end of Summer year 2, and do that without undue strain. If you find all that hard to believe, I ask you believe it anyway. It's not that I don't understand. I understand perfectly well. I just think the whole matter proves that we approach play in quite different ways, and so we end up in different places. Nothing wring with that.
@@farmergiles1065 OH you were talking about year 2 then it makes sense 300 kegs is actually a quite small amount for summer year 2
Linus can gift you maki rolls with high enough friendship and his liked gifts are basically any edible forage
I just started playing this game and his video is really overwhelming
Some stuff to note about kale. Same growth time as potatoes. Kale sells for a bit more than potatoes, though potatoes will give you more especially if you get lucky with the 25% chance for an extra potato. Kale does give you more farming exp. Plus it's faster to harvest with a scythe if that matters to you. Kale also costs more per seed than potatoes, so you will water fewer plants. Potatoes are used for hashbrowns though, which will give you a farming +1 buff. Hashbrowns also require oil, which isn't easy to get year 1
This was super helpful, thank you so much!
Idk if this was mentioned but Sam has a cutscene in summer year one you can't view year two. I don't wanna drop any spoilers, but you'l understand why it's not viewable in year two when you play.
So for first play through you can just gift Sam some joja cola until you can afford the pizza or beer early on to get access to it. Than do the rest of the friendships after you got the greenhouse unlocked or in whatever order you want.
Just check the wiki snd some info if you care about completing story. There are other missable cut scenes like if you marry before dating every candidate, and Clint has missable scenes I believe dependent on your friendship level with Emily.
I started a new save to attend year 1 community center, and I am getting the BEST luck. I have ancient seeds and dinosaur egg by the end of spring 1. Not related, but I just wanted to share.
I’m in year three and I haven’t even begun working on relations with villagers, farm animals, and actual farming.
I just sit in Spring and plant coffee beans that continue to grow into Summer. Because of the value and how a single plant drops four bean seeds, I sell those seeds for a profit of around 440-460.
As soon as it’s Fall, I go out and grab eggplant seeds. I let those grow, and after harvest I’d pickle them. After a few days, they’d be pickled and I’d get to harvest more. Selling the pickled eggplants go for around 500-570.
So far into the game, I’ve made a total of 45,000 G. I spent a total of 22 hours in the game.
Me watching this my second year and barely haven't done any of the things listed
Your content is incredible. Playing through my first year and it’s good to have some goals. Thanks again for the effort you put into your videos.
I’ve probably given you thousands of dollars from ads because of the amount of times I’ve rewatched this video.
Super in-depth while remaining very succinct, great video! I keep having to pour through the wiki every new save file but this is great thank you!
This is the best stardew guide ever! I started playing last year but got overwhelmed with how many things there are to do and so i cheated jus to see what would happen if i completed the CC. please make a year 2 guide because if i run out of things to do i might get bored :DD
Damn I'm on my first playthrough ever and I'm halfway through summer without having done half of the things you suggested for spring LOL
I guess I'll start being more careful with how I manage my time
LMAO SAME
You‘re on your first playthrough so you shouldn’t stress yourself too much. Take your time and play at your own pace.
@@feddy1103 I just started the game and all these YT videos are stressing me out 😂😭 I’ve barely done any of the spring stuff and I’m at the end of my first spring.
@@DDoubleEDouble there is no time limit in this game so you play at any speed you want. If you missed some spring stuff you can do it next year.
@@DDoubleEDouble I started 2 weeks ago and I’m currently in winter. Don’t stress yourself, I only have the first kind of chicken coop and now I’m working in my barn. I mean I just NOW upgraded my ax to copper, I didn’t have the time for the mines. Just play in your own pace, there’s no hurry.
a tip when it comes to getting dino egg
if you have skull cavern go to stardew predictor it will tell you which floor is dinosaur floor and on days where dinosaur floor is very low like 6 you can easily get dino egg
I like how you crossed Penny in the thumbnail
Not gonna lie i pickt up stardew vally in spring sale and thought "ohh yea, a farm game that can't be to complicated" and got OVERWHELMED by the amount of stuff to do lost what i have to fokus and kinda lost interessed because of all thats to do, now with a sertent plan in mind i did pick it back up and enjoyed it alot more :D thank you.
You don’t actually need to use any crab pots for the bundle because in the mines you can kill rock crabs and there’s a 15% chance you can get a crab.(yes I know someone already made a similar comment but I really don’t mean any hate to them and I thought of this while watching the video so I didn’t copy them.)
thanks this really helped out. I just started and got this game a couple of days ago, I have been playing and I am now mid winter. I kind of neglected the cc because I just felt like exploring and figuring stuff out. Now I am getting into year 2 and I plan to try to work on the cc this year and then hopefully get it done the year after. I am really setup. I have a great farm and loads of upgrades and aminails so the cc will be pretty easy I think. I only need to look out for the crops and do these things. I also have some ancient seeds and a seed maker and I am going to setup a ancient fruit farm day 1 spring. I will turn those into wine and just make loads of profit once my farm is big to help snowball my money and this just helps for buying things I might need from the trader or shop or whatever
Me with my one chiken:
Just a note on the missing bundle, you can buy a gold quality wine from Gus on Ginger Island! This makes all 5 super easy to get, and keeps your prismatic shard
I got really lucky! Didn't get my basic small coop and barn until the end of summer ... so I couldn't upgrade to big yet until the end of fall .... the fri/sun merchant I got big eggs/duck eggs/truffles from him to get me through
Also, I'm In winter year 1, and still don't have a kitchen ... I just bought fried egg and Maki rolls from Gus
Barn and coop by spring is extremely hard though. I wouldnt recommend. Youre better off holding off that by summer at the earliest.
Perfect! Thank you 😊
Winter: “you should have finished all of your farming bundles”
Me in fall currently: just got my first chicken because I’ve been focused of please all the townspeople my entire game and missed multiple bundles 💀
I love that we can save 10k by using the cookout now instead of upgrading the house.
Funny thing, I completed the Community Center in one year without upgrading my farm house.
All I needed was a good ol' Cookout Kit.
I think you might be the only person to have ever used the cookout kit
@@tanakisoup I guess so, but I sure saved a lot of money and resources.
@@butteweippe it’s really not that expensive tbh
then there’s me year three whos never even owned a fruit tree or has the bus unlocked
I never had to use a Crabpot to complete that bundle, the crabs of the mines always give me well... crabs.
my quality crop bundle required 5 golden cauliflower and i was like rip as i didn't notice in time . Cauliflower takes forever to grow plus you don't have enough energy at the beginning to grow as much as you need/want
I Am currently in the BEGINNING year 2...
Winter was a bitch, lol
I managed to build a coop, bought 3 chickens, upgraded all tools to steel...
Now in spring year 2 hopefully will be able to complete the spring season.
Sigh... Wish me luck, lol
i suggest doing fishing because it really is profitable on spring year 1 trust me :)
You can also get maki roll recipe from Queen of sauce
The only other thing that I can think of to get earlier in Spring is the Silo so that you can feed your animals with your weeds that you can cut rather than buying all the hay to feed all your animals.
I honestly just always side with Joja 🤷♂️
