Saving your ancient seeds until you get a greenhouse doesn't make sense. Yes, your first plants will die but if you're lucky enough to get a seed or two in spring, plant that thing immediately! Even if you plant it on Spring 28 you'll still get 4 fruits pr plant to make seeds from, which is 12 seeds pr plant ready for your greenhouse if you're stubborn/lucky enough, slightly less if you're not. If you save them you'll have maybe 2-3 seeds for your greenhouse depending on your luck in the mines/when fishing. Sacrificing your first plants to the seasonal gods kicks up your ancient fruit income majorly once you get the greenhouse. Always sacrifice your first plants. Even if you don't get one until Summer 28. Yes, you'll only get 1 fruit but that's 3 seeds for the greenhouse, tripling your ancient fruit plants.

don't forget that chicken eggs are just as important as milk and cheese for cooking if you're going for perfection!

[jkae]

Ostriches over pigs, sure they make slightly less but after setting them up and getting them to a high level they just lay eggs which after being made into mayonnaise sells for about 5 where pigs require you to pick up the truffles almost every day to make sure they are still efficient.

Doing a bit of math pigs make around 30k gold a week where ostriches make around 5k, taking into consideration pigs aren't active during winter and rainy days pigs make about 20k gold, so yes pigs are better but 20k are under perfect conditions, much more likely they will make a lot less, considering the fact that they need a lot of free tiles (and if you have a lot of pigs them producing truffles are going to limit the amount of tiles) so if you are really min-maxing late game you don't want your barns to take up over twice the amount of space.
For my closing arguments: Pigs are kind of ugly and the truffles look like poops which again look ugly

This is why I think ostriches are better, though it is situational, and I do also buy pigs for my first and maybe second year, depending on when I unlock ostriches.

My favorite things in Stardew Valley: the slime hutch & goats 😆

[Dhalin]

The trash can is still useful! A lot of times I'm in the mines, or skull cavern, or the volcano and I fill up on inventory (which happens very quickly). Let's say I got a bunch of "trash" gems. gems are still worth money. I could either...
A). Drop them on the ground = 0 gold
B). Drop them in my default trash can = 0 gold
C). Drop them in my iridium trash can = 60% of the gold they are worth

A good skull cavern run can get you a dozen gems like topazes, emeralds, rubies, etc. You can easily get 2-5k worth out of just dropping gems in the iridium trash can that you'd normally leave laying on the floor. Also, trash weapons, boots, and rings that you don't need. I hate waiting for 2pm for the stupid guild to open as nobody else will buy equipment. All of those magnet rings, glow rings, weak weapons, and boots that drop in the mines and skull caves, or extra boots in the volcano that I don't need, can go right into the iridium can. 200g here, 300g there it adds up. Better than having it clog up your inventory so you can't pick up something else more valuable, or worse, just leaving it laying on the ground.

Regular sprinklers can be useful for your first summer with blueberries. Then while those are growing automatically you can get quality sprinklers in fall. Makes the game more fun and relaxed while not being that bad a money source

[EaterOfGeese]

I barely even play stardew valley anymore but i still get excited when you upload because your videos are entertaining yet clear and straight to the point

[kevinclement]

I enjoyed putting a slime hutch by Pierre's store. I put a few eggs in it and before long the town was overrun. At one point, there were so many slimes in town that it affected the game.

[wearypilgrim]

I have found that random strange doll 5 times already, I keep throwing it away but it always comes back. Really spooky game

[matthewgladback]

#6) I do a fair amount of early game mining, and many of the gems I get at this point go into the shipping bin. I'll find more later and I need the money (particularly for the Vault.) I sell geodes outright during this phase. In the late game, you can catch up with abundant Omni Geodes that can't be sold even if you wanted to.

#7) You often find an Ancient Seed in the early levels of the mine. This is usually in like the first half of Spring. It actually makes sense to go ahead and plant it. You will get several harvests of Ancient Fruit you can plug into a Seed Maker to help get your greenhouse and/or [redacted] started.

#11) This is barely an issue. By the time you have the materials handy to actually craft a Crystalarium, rather than getting them for free somewhere, I don't think that using them for income is even relevant. Kegs and preserve jars are cheaper to construct and produce more money per day. Jade for staircases is probably the best use, especially now that deconstructors exist, as it makes for perhaps the best way to farm stone too. A ruby crystalarium for a convenient source of spicy eel could also be a decent idea, if you aren't using Lava Eel fish ponds.

I only use regular sprinklers for flowers. One sprinkler. Four flowers. Twelve bee houses. ❤

[Puritan]

#9 by the time I have the theater I'm already friends with almost everyone except Krobus, Leo, the Dwarf
#10 the upgraded can is really useful in the volcanic dungeon

[killerblue]

quality sprinklers are actually the worst sprinklers, you can get 100 normal sprinklers in your first spring, you will not be replacing them by quality sprinklers and only by iridium sprinklers by the time you got way too much stuff

[shibainu]

I like to use a few regular sprinklers for the more "essential" crops that I may or may not forget every once in a while, like a Cauliflower or Green Bean, or maybe even your ancient fruit and sweet gem berry. They are fairly cheap for a mining enthusiast like me and add up quickly. Then when I get a slime hutch (Why not other than "uses lots of space on your farm") I recycle the sprinklers to water the dishes inside so I can check back once a week and get some free money. Plus, you never know if you'll get lucky and get a slime egg from killing a slime outside your farm because you have the hutch.

[luzifer]

"I would rather water my plants manually until I unlock quality sprinklers" whips out iridium watering can -.-

[zedaddy]

Most important thing in stardew valley : stop worrying about money so much. just enjoy the game

[AnnaMno]

By the time I unlock the theater I usually only have 5 or 6 people left to max friendship, Sandy, Leo, Krobus, Wizard, Leah, & the Dwarf, the Dwarf if it took me ages to get all the scrolls (seriously in my first playthrough I still can't get the yellow scroll, but in my most recent one I got them really quickly I didn't have to even try), since they're out if my general way or have another obstical in before I can even meet them.
Everyone else I've spoken to each time I head past them, and talking does help raise friendship over enough time
Until the mine carts are unlocked I talk to Linus, Robyn, Demetruis, Sebastian (After 2 hearts, before I have to line up with leaving or entering the mines to his sechdual which can be tricky) the most so they ten to hit 8-10 hearts with no or almost no gifts depending if I forgot their birthday or that character is romancing Sebastian (most of them do, but I have made it a point to eventually create characters that romance a different character just to have seen them all, so far I have done one for Shane and started one for Elliot and one for Maru. Mean while I have about 4 saves with Sebastian) and romance means I do give more gifts.
While Maru also lives in that house, I only seem to get her on days when she's helping her dad in the lab, or randomly when passing her in town so she actually takes longer than the others of her house to fill up.
I talk to each shop keeper when I buy from them, and I try and make sure to head to the salon late in the evening on day's I don't spend all day in the mines, partically on Friday evenings when a bunch of people are in there, Marnie may not notice you but if you wait until they leave or get there before she enters you'll be able to talk to her, I often catch Will and Elliot while ocean fishing at the beach, Penny Vincent and Jaz are ussually nearby when I'm visiting the Blacksmith or Library, whether by the water ir on the way to/in the Library, Jody and Caroline I often catch talking to each other in the square, Abigail I often catch eith just walking somewhere, playing her music, or in her dad's store, the later of which I have also caught a few others at. Haily and Sam take a bit longer but I do seem them around town often enough, and Evlyn and George I see either in town near the flowers/side of their house, or I enter their house on my way padt anyway, Alex is nearly always just outside the house as well, and Lewis I catch while buyong things or he's gardening.
By year two everyone has a least a few hearts some like the people in the mountains are even either full or only a few hearts off, by the time the community center is compleated most everyone is at least halfway (except the ones I named at the start), and I'll actally start focusing on tring to max friend them a bit more

4:16 wrong, you can plant them, specially if you get them by spring or early summer. just dont sell their crops.

[enderman]

The slime hutch gets you slime and petrified slime and allows you to get slime eggs. The egg press can give you all slime eggs except tiger slime eggs.

[rorymacdonald]

defintely plant ancient seeds if 1. you havent unlocked greenhouse yet (as long as you get at least 1 harvest before it dies, it is 100% worth it) or 2. if you have filled your greenhouse and ginger island.
