    Take your time. Days may seem short, but you don’t need to do everything every day. You’ll need to do a little bit of everything to complete things, but you don’t have to master everything. If you decide you hate fishing, just do the bare minimum to complete the goal and don’t touch it passed that.

    If you decide to be a big planner, pay attention to weather forecasts. At the very least, rainy days means you don’t have to water crops, so go fishing, mining, or whatever else you want to do!

    There are ways to get copious amounts of even the rarest resources, so don’t hold onto something thinking you’ll never see it again. You will. You will get sick of seeing it.

    If you’re on PC and find yourself having a good time, there’s mods. There are so many fucking mods. New machines, new animals, new towns, villagers, and storylines… Don’t feel like you need them, the vanilla game is absolutely fantastic, but it’s worth keeping in mind if you hit a point of “I want Stardew, but EVEN MORE!” Modding is also stupid easy, drag and drop.

    Oh, and just a fun bit of future knowledge, if you decide you don’t like your spouse and your children with them, get divorced and then turn those kids into doves. Just let those little fuckers fly free. And make sure to answer the phone when the time comes.

      I’ve played Stardew Valley since its release, what the fuck?

        Witch’s Hut for the doves, you need a Prismatic Shard(and kids with a spouse, obviously).

        The phone call can only happen after the Dove event, and it’s a random chance, as far as I know. It’s technically a secret event.

        There is some dark shit buried in Stardew. All is not well in the Valley, and you suddenly understand why the town drunk is also the bus driver.

      the best part of stardew valley is becoming an evil farmer who continually marries and divorces the whole town, then erases their memories to break their hearts all over again. roleplay as a farmer from the underworld who farms the anguish of the people around you
