I have a money tip for fall, there's a rare forage flower called a titanarum that sells for 500c but if you make it honey it sells for 3000c

We found this out on Miss Sunstone's stream. I'm sure after the "honey nerf", she is being cautious with anything to do with prices, as it is Early Access and many may be watching this later with some updates changing these variables.

It's funny the things players do and don't find out while playing. My friend and I have been playing lately and she's the one who told me to harvest with my scythe!, and I'm the one who told her that all she has to do is go to the inventory and hover over an item to see if it's been donated to the museum or offered at the temple yet, so she doesn't have to go to the museum or temple every time to check.
Oh my god. Whenever I went to fast travel and spotted a new dot on the map I was wondering how come I had never seen it before and never realized you actually unlock them one by one (past the first ones that come w the offerings)! And thank you, I think this last point is going to be a lifesaver for me because I'm not entirely sure I will reach C rank by the winter haha
@sarahsunstone

Totally! Sometimes I didn’t even realize why/how I unlocked a new one, so these clues definitely helped me better understand! I think it’s totally fine to not reach C in the first year, since this game is all about taking things at whatever pace you like! But yes- save the seeds!
AHHHH the ununiform growth of the plants is also driving me crazy! I wish I didn't do that, because now I get irritated every morning seeing only a few crops could be harvested. They robbed me of satisfaction harvesting all of your plots at once 🤣

Oh my god, yes!! I thought I was the only one who had problems with the Crop Express perk T^T I really wish they would add the option to either reallocate your mastery points or just completely change how the perk work. Instead of giving a 10-20% chance of crops growing faster, they should instead make it as "All crops grow 5% faster for I and 10% for II".
so glad to know all these tips and cant wait to play and use them, thank you!

I bought my 11x11 scarecrow with merit points, to save my precious gold
The crops growing at different rates would drive me insane!

Your cool lady, and this is the best tips and tricks I found on this game
So this is why I couldn't buy any seed on my first winter 😂😂😂 Good to know, thanks!
I find the quickest way to raise town rank is to clean the ocean- each area cleaned is a rank in its own category. My ocean is A rank but my heritage and museum are only D so my town averages at a C.
Lmao thank you for this video. 😂 honestly was getting pissed off at myself for how long I’ve gone not knowing some of this.
Pretty sure i didn't have OCD until i picked up that growth perk...
Good to know about harvesting, could've saved me hours if I saw this video earlier -_-
The explosives does not give you as much resources either when blowing stuff up

Just lost my save state due to the rollback yesterday 😭 I copied my save state back just how I did when the accidental update dropped, and now it is inaccessible 😖 says I need an updated version to play. Maybe I'm going to start new now and avoid some mistakes I made in the first run 😅

Hmm.. that’s so interesting. I didn’t touch mine at all after the second update and it’s all back to normal. There’s nothing wrong with starting a new save! But see if you can get help on the Stairway Games Discord with restoring it first. The only way you should have lost the save is if you DIDN’T copy/paste the file and you started a brand new game before the second update. I’m excited to eventually start over though with all this knowledge we have now!!

Wow I really appreciate the crop express info. I just hopped into this game a while ago and I am kind of perfectionist person, that non uniform plant growth would give me headache lol. Is there any way for that skill to reach 100% chance of faster growth? If there is none at all then I will completely abandon that skill forever.
@sarahsunstone
Жыл бұрын
Not at the moment! Maybe something they would implement in the future, but no idea at this point. So for now I would definitely suggest NOT redeeming that skill :lol.
During winter, you can mine and ship gold ore from the wind gate in the cavern. You should be able to mine at least 10-20 ores (maybe even more) of them depending on how abundant the gold rocks spawn. Should give you 3k - 8k everyday. You can earn that much even if you start mining at noon, so you have time in the morning to go to town to do errands or visit your bae. Pretty good alternative than having to wait days for a crop to grow before you could ship.
It's a love/hate relationship I have with Crop Express...

Stairway Games indicated that their goal is to maintain saved files unless something fundamentally changes the game. Then your gold, inventory, farm layout, interior, and mastery levels will carry over.
