Don’t forget to visit the peddler
Every Friday and Sunday, a Wandering trader and his boar appear in Cindersap Forest, west of your farm’s entrance. This merchant sells random assortments from 6 am to 8 pm. You can often find the hard-to-reach materials you need for the Community Center in its store. It’s a great idea to check the merchant periodically. You never know what you will find when.
Plant your seeds in a 3×3 formation
Stardew Valley allows players to have almost complete control over the layout of their farms. Although this will allow you to cultivate the way you want, there are some tips you can use when planting. When planting cauliflower, melons and zucchini in a 3×3 shape and when fully grown, the middle crop has a chance to combine with other crops to form a giant crop. Giant crops are harvested with the ax and it ensures that the crops you will receive are double.
Plant as many cauliflowers as you can
Cauliflower is a slow-growing plant that takes 12 days to fully mature, and its seeds are sold at Pierre for 80 gold. It is quite expensive compared to other crops of the same season, but it is well worth it because the payment you get is more than double. A single cauliflower is worth 175g, silver ones 218g and gold ones 262g.
Get strawberry seeds at the egg festival
The egg festival takes place on the 13th day of each spring season. It is quite a fun festival where the town is cutely decorated. However, the most important part is that you can buy strawberry seeds here. Strawberry is a very profitable crop that takes eight days to mature and has the chance to produce more than one strawberry each time it is harvested. Moreover, it will continue to produce strawberries every four days after the first harvest.
Fix the bridge on the beach early
There is a broken bridge on the beach that can be repaired with 300 pieces of wood. opposite, there is a small area containing special materials. In addition to the fact that the materials you can collect from there are expensive, you can buy a sea necklace through an NPC that will appear in that area in rainy or stormy weather, and you can propose to any villager with ten hearts.
Engage in farming first, then gathering
Running out of energy is a situation that causes you to be able to do almost nothing. While cutting trees, breaking rocks and cutting grass may seem tempting, especially when you’re first in town, your main focus should be on farming. With the energy you have in the morning, the first thing you should do is plant, water or harvest the crops. After doing these operations, it is ideal to spend your time dealing with collecting around or going to the town.
Don’t give random gifts to everyone
Randomly distributing gifts around will make it difficult to gain the friendship of the villagers. Every villager has their likes and dislikes, and they have a significant impact on your relationships. When you give someone something as a gift, it will appear in the social tab along with their preferences. Use this to keep track of what people are doing and, more importantly, what they are not doing.
Wait for the greenhouse to open before buying a fruit tree
Fruit trees are incredibly expensive, so you won’t be in a hurry to collect thousands of gold coins, but even so, be patient for a while. After progressing for a while in the game, you will have access to the greenhouse and you can grow crops in the greenhouse regardless of the season. That’s why the greenhouse is the best possible place to plant your fruit trees.
Plan your poultry investments well
In the first few missions given by the game, you will be asked to build a coop. While it may seem like a good starting point for a farm, it actually isn’t. Building a coop costs 4,000 gold plus 300 wood and 100 stones. Each chicken will cost 800 gold and unless they build a silo they need to be fed hay which is 50 gold per piece. Simply put, it’s a huge investment and it takes some time to get your gold back.
Focus on community hub
After the 5th day of early spring, the Community Hub and the first few packs will be unlocked. Assuming you choose this route instead of selling to Joja, these bundles will be an essential part of your game. Finishing some packages at an early stage will be very useful. For example: When you finish the Spring Gathering pack, you can get 30 spring seeds as a reward. It will also affect your progress in terms of story as well as rewards.
