this video is how i realized i had absolutely no idea what i was doing when i started this game omg

[sepitai]

Man as a beginner a lot of this is just information overload. This feels like it should be a 2nd playthrough guide, not a beginner's.

[UndeadMonkey]

"Everyone should know this by now..." Proceeds to blow my mind with new information.

I just got 100% on year 7 after 300 hours

Big hack for hardwood. Pick the forest farm. Or, plant a mahogany seed on your farm and let it go wild, creating your personal hardwood forest. Lots of hardwood and foraging xp

[hommefataltaemin]

Truly I have no idea how you got all that shit done in spring. I am playing the game for the very first time right now, and only got like 50 levels down in the mines by the time summer was over, and only completed like 2 bundles…. A more complete walkthrough on each season might be super useful as there were many things you skipped over that I was left questioning “what now?!”, haha. Or even if u streamed playing the ways you mention here, I’d love to watch it.

I'm so lost... how do you get the time to do all that???? I barely have the time to wake up and its already night time!!! Plus I'm poor af!

[Disappointed_guy]

As a beginner who is no longer a beginner but a slight better biggner I can confirm her claims

[RhondaH]

Once you get a mahogany seed you can plant it on your farm and make a little hardwood forest... easier than going to the secret woods every day!

I was just thinking of starting a new farm THIS IS PERFECT

Was introduced to this game at 15, never touched it until almost 9 years later. (23 yrs old now) and now I’ve bought the game on every platform I could (Phone, PC, Console) and have a new farm for each one. This guide has helped me a TON! I went in blind, not knowing ANYTHING about the game, and boy has it been a blast being a farmer! Well done guide. 🙌🏾

I start diffrently.

I plant 13 parsnips and sell 2 seeds. This is enough for farming level 1. (I might buy 1 seed of peas, caulieflower for the bundle, but no more, crows starts showing up if you plant more then 15 seeds total on your savefile)

I clear a way for the north and south exit of my farm, this produces enough materials for a chest or two (don't bother removing all stumps from the trees you cut, low gain vs energy used).

I then head south with my hoe at 11 o clock. Meet all the npcs along the way. Then i go to the beach, (focus on trying to get all npcs except Willy (and the Wizard)). Look for forageables, worms or thin waving grass on the ground to hoe for artifacts or carrots (carrots are fantastic, 75 energy and takes only 3 days to grow). Then go to the museum, clint, jojo mart, back down to the middle of town (buy seeds now if needed and talk with pierre), then to the house with the old couple, go past the community senter north, meet the hobo and talk with sebastian at 7 o clock. Head back home. Do what you can with the rest of the day, like clear your farm for bushes and hope you get mixed seeds or/and clear some more trees to get enough for a chest to bring with you when fishing (you can also go and pick up leeks). If you found alot of dafodills. You can use em to get the blue haired tea girl or haylei happy, and give linus/hobo a foraged food. Linus got great gifts to you when you get hearts with him. And thr tea sapplings recipie from the blue haired girl is great aswell.

Day 2 you read the mail, (think it always rains on day 2, so no need to water) maybe get spring onions and run to the beach With your hoe and a chest. Then you fish until you get level 2 fishing, selll enough fish to willy so you can get the glass fiber rod and a handfull of bait.
Go fish near the mine or if you feel lucky, fish outside hayleis house for Catfish, hard to catch buy is worth alot of cash. Easier to gain kevels by heading to the lake near the mines and get perfect catches on chubs (chubs are better to eat instead of selling). The next days i wil just fish alot until the mine get unlocked.

You can do alot of diffrent smart choises between day 3 and 5.
Like if you got alot of catfish, head to flint, buy 1 copper ore to unlock the furnace recipe event at day 4, if you got fishing level 5 during day 3, you get 20% more cash for the catfish you stored. With this money, you buy enough materials to make 1 or 2 furnaces. Buy copper to make enough bars to upgrade your pickaxe to copper. Really nice to have on day 5 when the mine opens.
Etc. Etc. Try making some ideas and try em? Like trying yo get the house upgrade asap, so you can make sashimi if you get 2 hearts with linus. Turning all your bad fish into 75 energy food worth 75 gold a piece.

my roommate just got into Stardew and this is PERFECT for them!

[freya]

Basic sprinklers are pretty good though. Yeah their layout is funny but they are cheap and easy to get early on so you can devote that energy to other things like the mines and fishing.

[NannyOggins]

You are my first choice for Stardew Ezlily you never disappoint. Coming back into this game (yet again) after 2 years I find I have forgotten so much. Thanks for all your tips.

[timleeder]

Seems more like a "so you're beginning your 3rd farm, Year 1 Guide" 😅

[MartinHermans-dwis]

hey lily! hope you had a good christmas!

[danness.english]

2:30 "just remember to keep one of them" *proceeds to sell everything*

[mcdonuts]

Great video! Just finished my first spring and cut all my grass before getting the silo 🤡 😅

[vickisnemeth]

I had a couple of false starts this year and am resisting starting another file until 1.6 comes out. Now a bunch of "new file" tutorials are coming out in December. Getting so many ideas...
