Lightning rods also make good fences. If you have the materials to spare, a good number to have is about 35-50 to prevent damage to your farm and get lots of batteries for sprinklers and crystalariums.

@@RealDanteS01 Lightning rods can also be used to increase your grass growing for animal farming. If you put down a spot of grass and then drop a lightning rod on it, it can't be eaten by the animals but will still spread. I found that a grid of rods every 3 or 4 squares not only gives tons of batteries but also means you have to devote far less area to grass even when you have a lot of animals. You'll need to rip up the rods every spring to replant the grass (or better, on winter 28) but that's a pretty minor thing.

A little exploit that I like that can sometimes pay off is getting into the secret woods early. With the basic farm, your house spawns with a chair. This can be placed behind the log that normally blocks the woods, and you can sit in it to hop past the log. Now you can pick up all sorts of forage in there early. Just ALWAYS use a chair and NEVER use a bench. You'll get stuck and I had to learn that the hard way.

Do craft kegs early!! It doesn't come around until summer but I like to plant a bunch of wheat and make it into beer, which has a 200g base sell price. You can buy wheat seeds for only 10g apiece and they only take 4 days to grow, and beer only takes 1-2 days in the keg, so it's got a pretty good turnaround time. It's the best early-game use for kegs I've found personally!!

I agree! Beer is very OP with the profit margin of turning 10g wheat seeds into 200g beer in under a week! I often plant a huge field of wheat with no intention of ever watering it, just relying on rainfall to grow it eventually. It's a good way to use space on your farm that is otherwise unused in early game, and an excellent source of income. It even gives hay, which is useful for folks who might not have a silo yet.

@Marialla.

@@ihavenoidea2805 I have often planted hops, but I think their best use is as food for the player. Especially the starred ones. The plain ones are fine to brew if you have the space. But beer only takes one day to brew, while Pale Ale can take two days, especially if you're staying up till 2am. If so, that cuts its profit margin in half (per day). So beer can be the better choice if you have both wheat and hops available to choose. Another factor for me is that I really enjoy scything wheat. I find it much more satisfying than picking hops. And I like the bonus hay you get. Most importantly is the work involved. Hops must be watered daily to produce well. Wheat can be ignored if you want, and left for nothing but rainfall to grow it eventually. You can get several huge harvests through summer and fall with almost no energy invested yourself.

@dddmemaybe

Жыл бұрын

@@Marialla. You make some good points. I do think Hops give out so many items that they almost feel like cheating for health/energy though, assuming you use basic or quality sprinklers for them. (Just make sure to have a copper hoe or better, because if you don't water them, they can become disabled due to trellis soil becoming untilled and you have to indirectly re-till or the tool bounces off). The main thing with Hops is that every tile gives 17 Hops items per season. So? Every single gold quality Hops recovers 81 energy, which becomes broken af with basic fertilizer and a few farming exp levels. There simply isn't a crop in the game, excluding maybe starfruit, that generates as much energy(or salad-energy money) compared to Hops, especially without level 10 farming and a lot of artisan machines. They are somewhat less efficient per quality sprinkler at 6-1 instead of 8-1 per machine but, that still doesn't make a dent in the energy lead it has in the early-mid game. If you consider making Pale Ale with all of the basic quality Hops, nothing comes even close in year 1. It makes the Skull Caverns a bit of a joke. If you plant 60 hops w/ 10 quality sprinklers and basic fertilizer at an average farming level of 7 (harvests 17 times for good exp), that's about 300 golden quality Hops, that's either 25,000 _energy,_ or for hp instead, about _70 full-health bars_ of recovery for the Skull Caverns. That's just 0.3 of the Hops, which comes out to the same health recovery of 120 golden Melons. edit: wheat is perfect if you have even a single animal building because it's very cheap, makes good money and also feeds the animals passively to boot. A fun thing I found with wheat, is that it keeps fertilizer from summer to fall while also keeping the ground pre-prepared. On it's own that's just good for late summer but, wheat also only needs 1 speed grow level to jump from 4 days to 3 (28% more wheat/season), while also being a farming crop that doesn't care about quality at all since you refine all of them anyways with bread and/or beer. So you get to bring 1 speed-grow per tile all the way from summer 1 to fall 28 while getting good value the whole time. You can even go for Amaranth on those tiles in Fall because they both get a massive output boost from speed-grow levels, both use a scythe, and Amaranth's base 150g value is great in a preserves jar (30g more than a strawberry, which isn't too shabby).

First timeI didn't spend all my money on strawberry seeds, because I couldn't possibly have watered them all 🙂

GET the training rod right after you catch your first fish. Build two containers and plop them on the river and lake to negate any tiny backpack problems. Spend three days straight fishing while taking care of your initial crops. Keep drinking Joja and eating algae to sustain your fishing day. You will get thousands a day....but it is the experience that is priceless (a perfect catch is a shit tonne more valuable than any silver graded fish with a bamboo rod!!) In three short days, if you are good at fishing, you will reach level 5. That equals more $$$. Get a new rod, then fish whenever applicable while setting up your vision. Creep your way up to level 10 then you can get treasures, artifacts, and resources galore!! Spend a day or two fishing before the Egg festival and you got $$$ for lots of seeds. Once you get that, fishing will soon become near irrelevant and, with the aid of your initial crops, it will open your game up!! It is, hands down, the BEST 25g you will ever spend in the game.

This is what I tend to do, and I am NOT a speed runner (or even very good at the game) - I tend to focus on Farming, doing other activities as able. Spring 1 plan, again, focused on farming (sorry for the length): In the below, keep in mind you can eat crops for energy. I know wild seeds sell for more than the crops they tend to produce, but the crops they produce can give you energy. Likewise, you can eat parsnips for energy as well, instead of purchasing them, same thing with Fish (eat a fish/multiple fish if you run out of energy while fishing). 1. Clear farm area (at least 24 spaces for crops you will purchase, plus spaces for wild seeds), plus clear all the brush easily gettable for wild seeds. Cut enough trees down to craft a chest, craft one and put all excess items in it to make room for seeds. Put any tools you don't need into the chest (time pauses when you are interacting with chests). It will be tempting to buy the backpack upgrade to help with inventory room, but I save the money for crops. Day 1, and day 13 are very tight on energy and/or time, if you screw up, before the 2 AM timeout or before going to bed (before saving), just exit to the title screen, reload and try it again. 2. Plant the 15 parsnips you get at the start, water them. By then Pierre should be open. You could sell the parsnips, but they mature in 4 days (day 5), which also benefits you by giving you Farming level 1, which gives you the ability to craft a scarecrow. 3. Buy 2 Cauliflower, 2 Green Beans, 4 Potatoes, 1 parsnip (should bring you to zero money). You are buying these crops to complete the spring crops bundle in the community center, and make money. I buy 2 minimum of each Summer Crop bundle in case a crow eats one. Excess potatoes are for money. 4. Plant and water the crops you bought 5. Empty your inventory leaving at least room for 6 items. Look for forage (including the spring onions to the south of Marnie's, I eat the spring onions for energy as my crops get so big I start to run out of energy). Make sure to keep 1 of each Daffodil, Dandelion, Leek and Wild Horseradish for the Spring Foraging bundle (which gives you 30 more crops to plant). You can sell or eat excess forage. 6. Keep clearing farm with remaining energy. 7. Day 2: From here on out, assume the first thing you do is tend to your crops (water/harvest/plant), and that any money you make you buy more seeds and plant them. potatoes take 6 days to grow, the last day you will buy or plant potatoes is day 6. After that you will buy and plant parsnips until day 8, stopping on day 9. All crops will be harvested and sold by day 12, so you can buy strawberries on day 13. Be careful to plan for inventory space requirements so that you don't have to make multiple trips to Pierre or back home to drop stuff off. 8. Forage the maps (note: Forage stays until Saturday, so you can check areas periodically without losing forage), then get your fishing pole (make sure to get there before 5 PM). Hopefully you have some room in inventory, if not run home quick and drop as much off as you can, so you can catch as many fish as you can. Typically when foraging, I primarily check the bus stop map, the map by Marnie's, and the beach map. If my inventory gets full I drop stuff off at my chest at home or sell it. 9. Fish as much as you can. Sell what fish you can in the sales bin by your house, except for community center bundle fish, keep at least 1 of each. 10. I also, at this point and moving forward, try to do some more farm cleanup and get more chests made. I have found putting a chest by Willie's and by the Mines really helps (especially when I forget to drop stuff off at home before going to either). 11. You next big step is on day 5, the mines open up and the community center event becomes available on the first day from day 5 on when it isn't raining. Enter town from the bus stop map to trigger. 12. Day 5: Harvest parsnips, sell, buy seeds, plant seeds, tend to crops (save golden parsnips until you have 5 for the quality crops bundle). 13. I believe it always rains on day 5, but if it isn't, make sure to trigger the community center cut scene, and then visit the community center and activate the Foraging area to trigger the wizard event. Otherwise, do it on the first day it doesn't rain after day 5. 14. I go to the mines on day 5 and try to get at least 5 levels done (LOL, I have seen Haboo / Tooshi / Therm / Z etc. do 40+ levels in one day in spring), after foraging of course (and remember to empty your inventory and bring food for energy and health). If you want to get deeper in the mines, don't forage unless you don't have a food source, consider using your parsnips instead of selling them, etc. 15. Day 6 (or first non-rain day day 5 or after): Visit community center (again, if it isn't raining), after cut scene, go back to community center and activate the foraging package to trigger the wizard on the next day. 16. Day 7: Harvest your potatoes, sell them, buy parsnips, plant/water them. Reminder, whenever a crop matures, other than crops you are saving for community center packages, you sell and buy more crops. Make sure, as of day 7, you stop buying potatoes and start buying parsnips, also, don’t buy any more seeds after day 8 as they won’t be ready to sell by day 12. Also, keep planting wild seeds you find no matter what the date is. 17. Plan ahead - the last run I did, I had 7,400 g, enough for 74 strawberries, so when planting your crops, keep in mind you will want an easy layout for your new strawberries. 18. Visit the wizard to give access to the community center's bundles (forage while there). If you have at least 7 open spaces in inventory, you can take your spring forage bundle with you to the wizard to save time. 19. Visit the community center, fulfill the spring forage bundle, get the 30 seeds reward. Return to farm and plant/water the 30 seeds. 20. From this point on, it is your call what you want to do with your remaining energy and time. Whether it is clearing the farm/mining/fishing. I usually try to mine, but because of crop sizes, I am often very low on energy and/or time by the time I finish watering all the crops, and dandelions and spring onions only help so much with energy. You'll have to figure your plan out based on the resources you have available. I also try to get 300 wood to fix the beach bridge to get more foraging money. 21. Day 9: Stop buying new crops, just harvest mature crops. Don't sell anything though. Hold on to all sellable items now until day 12. That way you can fish or go into the mines and stay out until 2 AM. If you have no money on you, you lose nothing. 22. Day 11: Harvest beans, keep one for community center. By day 11 I recommend you make at least 1 trip to the community center to drop off the spring crops that you have, it makes inventory management easier on day 13. 23. Day 12: Put everything in shipping bin that you want to sell. 24. Day 13: This is a big day, the festival event ends if you are not there by 2, so you have a lot to do before then. 25. Hoe at least 1 tile for every 100 g you have (7,400 g = 74 tiles), and for ease of applying speed gro, I separate 20 of the strawberries into their own patch. Water the tiles, but make sure to get to the festival by 2. I strongly recommend that you lay out the farm in an up down direction, it is much easier to plant/fertilize when moving up and down versus left and right. I recommend practicing a bit if you are not efficient, and then reload the game (e.g. go buy some parsnips and practice planting very quickly). 26. Put your remaining spring crops bundle in your inventory, but make sure to leave at least 2 open slots (one for the straw hat you win from the egg hunt, and one for strawberry seeds). Buy as many strawberries as you can afford. Here's the tricky part: 27. When you end the festival it will be 10 PM. I recommend you run immediately to the community center, drop off the spring crops bundle, get the 20 speed grow as the reward, and then run back to the farm. This ensures that you will get the 20 speed grow and apply it - you may run out of time to plant everything, so at least you will have your 20 speed grow strawberries planted. The other can be delayed by a day (or two) because you only get 2 harvests anyway. 28. Plant the speed grow, and then plant all the strawberry seeds. If you get it all done, you should have 3 harvests of the 20 that have speed grow on them, and 2 of the others. Congratulations, you are well on your way now. 29. After day 13, you can figure out what works best for you. Tend to your crops, plant more. Continue fishing/mining/cleaning up the farm, again, planting any wild seeds and selling forage for money. Buy at least 27 parsnips (pretty much ensures you will end up with 5 gold ones for the quality crops bundle) and plant/water them. After you get 5 gold parsnips you can switch entirely to potatoes (best profit other than Strawberries). 30. Note: Day 15 through 18 (I believe) is when the berry bushes start producing around the maps. Try to harvest them as you can, it is an easy source of a lot of free forage (I got around 120 berries by the end of the 18th, if I remember correctly). 31. Continue planting potatoes until day 22, then switch to parsnips until day 24. Note: By day 24, you will have a lot of money coming in, and you may not be able to plant all the parsnips you can buy, figure out what your limits are :). Keep in mind you can eat parsnips for energy as well.

Thanks for this video! you're my favorite stardew valley youtuber

I love fishing, as soon as I get my first fishing rod. I go fishing straight off the bat, it is relaxing and exciting to fish in this game. xD Most people don't like fishing in my group, so I'm usually in charge for fishing but eh I don't mind. I think in most games, if there is fishing I just love it. It is my favorite activity, no matter the difficulty.

While I agree with upgrading the pick, I usually end up upgrading the watering can because of how limited energy is in the earlier game. This lets me plant larger crops. Should also be noted that you shouldn't sleep on those craftable sprinklers when they become available.

My sweet spot for raw farming and watering crops is 180 crops, it will leave you with 20-40% of remaining energy depending on how much and what tier of water retaining soil you use and you'll finish around 11am to 12 pm leaving the rest of the day free. If you've triggered the demetrius cut scene and pick the mushroom cave you can use those for a quick boost in energy if your doing something energy intensive like fishing the rest of the day or cave mining. Also I would recommend saving cheap fish and coral every now and then as those are needed to make high tier quality fertilizer.

Notable thing about the early spring crops, strawberries and speed-gro: If you want to get the speed-gro from the bundle in time to use it on the strawberries, you HAVE TO plant Cauliflower on day 1! If you plant it any later, it won't finish growing until after you've already planted the strawberries. You also have to plant the Green Bean no later than day 3. This does impact your ability to make as much money as possible before the egg festival, and you risk crops getting eaten by crows before you get the scarecrow, but if it pans out, you're off to a great start monetarily.

Thank you for the tips💕

Thanks for the guide!

Thanks for the tips!

I’m so new to this game and I’ve been watching all your videos but there’s so much great information it’s like a 5 year old trying to learn alegraba 😂

I had no idea how bad I was at this game until I watched the video. It hurts, but pain is an excellent teacher (and you have made me wise).

Damn! How did you come across the clay farming trick? How intricate!

I've played stardew for a while and this is so nice to know

Well, first tool i upgraded was water can - ability to water 3 squares instead of one is HUGE improvement if you really growing crops. You can cut stuff and mine stones with starting tools alright, especially if you foraged tonnes of salmonberry. However at around level 40 pickaxe upgrade is almost mandatory. Farming clay is kinda too cheaty imho, but clay naturally is pain in ass, you dont have enough when you need silo and later its garbage.

Awsome guide for begginers like myself! Thank you!

You’re very welcome, glad I could help!

I actually plant the spring wild seeds once I have a scarecrow, and I continue to grow large amounts of them, including in summer. That way I get the botanist profession in time for when my pigs grow up to produce truffles by end of summer, and in fall's blackberry season I get tons of iridium blackberries that, for me at least, are a great and dirt-cheap food for skull cavern.

This is great, tysm!

oh my god i forgot that caroline can give you tea saplings. i really need to give her more daffodils

With tea sapplings and strawberries in spring I was able to make enough money to get mellons which in turn gave me enough money to make a barn and buy pumpkins. Also with the money from four cows cheese let me upgrade it once then twice. It’s winter year one and I got 8 cows and 4 pigs. Can’t wait till spring year two

I actually do have a star shard sitting around because I confused them with cinder shards before I got to ginger island lol

Very informative!

I have watched so many spring tutorials first day tutorials first year tutorials nothing absolutely fucking nothing beats this This has been the shortest easiest to follow best tutorial thank you so fucking much I just had to say that

thanks i didnt know any of these! i just began playing and spent most of my days just chopping down trees and mining only to get 2k at the end of the day

I need a remake of this video bc so much of this had been changed now 😅

I never noticed your outro is the credits after you reach perfection 9:05

I always save my mixed seeds to make fiber seeds later in the game. But that is because I do not like letting my fertilizers go in winter. So I almost never plant my mixed seeds.

8:57 I just spit out my drink that caught me so off guard 😂

@@sobblegaming350 Yeah. For me I spend most of the first 3/4ths of the month fishing, most of the last week mining, and I only plant around 30 strawberries because I don't want to sell most of them, just keep them for gifts and the seed maker. I generally end up making somewhere in the 80-100k margin by the end of spring doing that, as well as getting enough mats for 6-10 quality sprinklers and a steel watering can. Summer first my latest playthrough I had 60x blueberries, 50ish coffee plants, 48x corn, 30x melons, 20x mixed seeds, 10x each tomato, radish, sunflower and pepper, 2x ancient fruit and 1x starfruit planted and watered on day 1. With the steel watering can and the 7 quality sprinklers I was able to manage before the end of spring I can get it all watered by 9am with about 1/4 of my energy left.

I find myself spending most of spring planting parsnips so that i get the 5 quality ones for the bundle. getting greenhouse year 1 is vital!

2:39 the 1.6 update reduced the tea saplings sell price in half to 250g. It's still a pretty good way to get money early on though (I bought my first house upgrade and coop with the money I got from it), but if you have a few preserves jars or kegs, planting a few is a pretty decent move now too. Each green tea nets 100g and each pickled tea leaf nets 150g, meaning you could get 700-1150g a month for each tea bush you have. Personally, I'd recommend holding on to at least 10% of every batch of saplings you make for planting and sell the rest. Made 20 of them? Plant 2.

tea saplings and honey are my favorite! i didn't realize how much i liked bee houses. I rushed a maple syrup farm and spent most of my time in the mines slaying dust sprites for coal. I was able to complete a 152 hive setup in fall, and with fairy roses 1 harvest was 103k gold!!! i'm in winter rn, so idk how much it makes in spring, but collecting honey is so satisfying! and i love that i'm finally able to use flowers, since they're so pretty. i'm not a huge fan of clayfarming, so tea saplings are a good way to skyrocket your farm early on. You could complete the vault, upgrade your instruments or set up barns, coops, upgrade your house early and much else. it honestly kind of feels like cheating 😅

Didnt knew about clay trick its insane

FOUND THE MONEY GUIDE YOU ARE A SAINT

That last tip was the real lifesaver 😂❤

I normally keep forageables as gifts early game. Should I be selling them instead. And if so, what should I be gifting instead?

This was posted literally when me and my friend just started a new coop playthrough on switch lol

5:03 - that is crazy 😄😄

Can you tell me how to get a ripe cauliflower in time to get the Speedgro before the Egg Festival? The ONLY time I was able to was once when that crop fairy visted at night and actually chose to sprinkle their fairy dust on my cauliflower crops. Otherwise, I can never get a ripe cauliflower before the Egg Festival. You cannot make Speedgro when you first start the game, you don't get the recipe until you reach farming level 3. Pierre doesn't sell it until Spring 15 of the first year.

This is the first time I've ever heard you cuss, I love it.

I've learned that in fall, sell yams. About 20 of them can net you a good 2000 gold.

Looks at this on my last day of spring.

What I do is when it's open, I go to Pierre's store, and buy all the parsnip seeds. Then, I make a scarecrow and then I do potatoes. I also work on friendship with granny Evelyn as early as possible so I can make those pots and grow strawberries inside

by my research, kale is the best crop. it makes a little less money than potatoes but it takes like 4 days less to grow.

God this video already feels nostalgic. The time i spent playing stardew felt like i actually was the farmer himself doing everything. Tier 1 game forever

He snuck that last one in there and I wasn't ready lmao real hard truths out here.

What do you about the crows after planting all those seeds on day one?

For the clay method you can do 2 up 1 right too

Your first few tips are worded in a way that might be confusing to some people. You mention getting speed gro for your strawberries, but didn’t mention that this requires planting a cauliflower on day one, and dropping it off at the community center directly after the egg festival. It also requires planing a bean starter on Spring 3 or earlier.

He kinda mentions it at 1:30. He then says "complete spring crops bundle" Which he mentions growing a cauliflower and green bean early on.

Spring quick cash plant parsnips on day 5 harvest. In-between farm grass, forgables, wood, stone all sell buy more parsnips. Rinse and repeat get your strawberries

I'm mid game in starting to get desperate for clay in recipes and buildings... clay farming here I come!

not the ruapul quote at the end 😭😭😭

I do as much fishing as possible the first few days (when I can get fishing rod) and spend as much of the days before spring festival fishing either in the mountain or the village is its raining. I can usually get about 20k by the 13th and the its all STRAWBERRIIIEEEESS and then I work on getting sprinklers for blueberries in the summer

does clay farming still work or was it patched?

The buff I want for Honey has nothing to do with the bee houses, one another video I saw a comment that said Mead is always the same price no matter what type of honey you put into it. Played my game and can confirm as much. I want a buff for the mead!

Hello! Commenting in hopes someone responds! How the hell did you get the cooking pot so early? is this possible glitch less?

I like the RuPaul ending!

I do have guide for each month, all found on this playlist: kzread.info/head/PLIi0JBFpcuLINVCZGzLUphEeuZQHcpnkW I will say, they are a bit outdated at this point, just because I’ve learned so much since I made them!

A little later, once you can afford to get the Grass Starter recipe, and once you can craft the Fiber Seeds, you can earn a lot of money from turning fiber into grass starter and selling it.

Does clay farming work in the winter? I did it right, and I was able to get a lot of winter foragables when I tried it with that, but when I tried it with clay, it wouldn't work.

this is similar to what i do, i spend pretty much the entire 1st spring min maxing the game, my method of choice is fishing, every single day fish, fish fish, and more fishing, usually by the egg festival i can get to around fishing level 8, and get 15k gold, i spend that 15k gold on 150 strawberry seeds, plant them all, i spend the entire rest of spring watering them everyday and then going to the mines to see how far i can get and start getting tool upgrades, then the rest of my year is played normally lol

bless you sir, bless you

do you perhaps have a trellis guide because I have no idea how they work and I would like to plant some beans or grapes .ect

What is that metal base for the trees?

I bought 100 strawberries seeds (I could've bought 132 seeds but I needed the money) Also bought the back pack and the fiberglass fishing rod

Info: Clay Farming will work with 1.6 Update only if you change it in the options! They have left it inside the game for speedrunners.

4:50 how do you get money from center of beehives? can't access them, so smack with an axe or something? i wonder

I'm new but I only use the training rod. At least for now.

For spring what I do is save up money to get some strawberries, but not plant them till year 2, or save some for a seed maker, just how I play. And then from after i become rich i buy enough strawberries to fill my whole field for every next year.

Never used training rod - fishing is fine with one you got from willy. Its little hard at start but your "green bar" growing really fast as you gain levels. And yes, fish is really good source of money in early game.

How about having extra crops for quests or gift giving? I think focusing your first year in making money is a mistake. I prefer to build an inventory so I have a little bit of everything. That way I always have things for fetch quests (which allows me to make money), completing the community center and giving gifts.

Not the drag race quote at the end 💀

preserves

Beehuts do need a slight buff later in the game, as kegs, cheese and mayo take over. Mainly because neither the Artisan or Rancher proffession affect Beehuts. And while you could put honey into kegs, and thus have Artisan affect it, its nearly always worth more to put fruit crops into kegs. The fact honey looses its flower affected value when turned into mead makes this even worse. No big buff is needed. But I do feel that, mead's value should go up if you put higher value honey in it. Also, Fairy Mead and Jazz Mead just sounds like an awesome drink. Introduce a new/rare flower, called that dragon flower, and you can even get Dragon Mead that way! In short, Beehuts dont needa buff, no. Though having it be affected by the Rancher profession would be great. Mead though, needs buffs!

That's a lot of bee houses you got there. How do you get that much coal early game?
