<\/figure>\n

Not every great video game needs fantasy and flashy storylines of the world almost ending; sometimes the story of leaving the city behind and taking the plunge into a new humble farm life is all players need to have a good time. Stardew Valley<\/em><\/a> doesn’t need all the bells and whistles to be considered a great title; the mundane feel of everyday farm life is actually its main appeal.<\/p>\n

In the flurry of all the fun new things to do in this new life, one can find themselves a bit overwhelmed, but don’t worry! Every new farmer eventually finds the routine that works best for them. But there are a few tasks and details that most dedicated fans would recommend newcomers to prioritize\u00a0before it’s too late, and year 1 has already come to a close. Here are a few things every new player should do right away when starting Stardew Valley<\/em>.<\/p>\n

10 <\/span>Watch TV Every Morning<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Making the transition over from city life to country life doesn’t mean saying goodbye to all pastimes. Taking a quick TV break isn’t a bad thing; in fact, it’s actually encouraged! Before each day of hard farm work begins, make sure to watch a bit of TV before heading out. Specific programs will help with various aspects of the game; from giving useful tips to new recipes. Those few extra seconds taken to check what’s on TV will pay off in the long run.<\/p>\n

The weather report is especially useful for picking out the perfect day to upgrade the watering can as it’ll then be with the blacksmith for the next couple of days.<\/p>\n

9 <\/span>Invest And Build Scarecrows<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Crops are a farmer’s bread and butter<\/a> and unfortunately, crows just can’t keep their greedy beaks away. Ensuring all crops are flourishing and ready to be sold every morning means protecting them from nearby critters.<\/p>\n

Don’t allow these pests to have their way! Invest in foraging and harvesting items to build a few scarecrows right away. This simple fix will ensure that there aren’t any missing or ruined crops every morning that, if left alone, would cost a hefty amount of lost profit.<\/p>\n

8 <\/span>Check The Bulletin Board Everyday For\u00a0Quests<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

The beginning month of the game can feel a little hopeless at times with money being so tight<\/a>. On top of caring for the crops every morning, it best to make a habit of always checking the bulletin board just outside of Pierre’s shop. There the player will find the occasional listing written by other residents of the town, asking for help with miscellaneous tasks.<\/p>\n

These little quests are a great way to busy oneself if in the beginning stages of simply waiting for crops to grow. Not only does it help the player get acquainted with the townsfolk, but most importantly, it’s a great way of making extra coin each day!<\/p>\n

7 <\/span>Prepare For Upcoming Seasons<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Keeping track of the ever-changing weather is important for everyone, but for a farmer, it means their livelihood. Keep an eye on the calendar, don’t just keep a routine of tending to the garden and buying up the seeds in Pierre’s stock. Nothing is worse than buying up a fortune of expensive seeds to plant, just to have the weather change<\/a> and for them to stop growing.<\/p>\n

Each season within the game lasts 28 days. Make it a point to begin planning out if it’s possible to grow a crop within the appropriate time frame before the season ends and ruins the whole garden!<\/p>\n

6 <\/span>Make Friends And Gift Everyone<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Although Stardew Valley<\/em> is a game revolving around farm life, that doesn’t mean there’s no time for socializing.\u00a0Half the game’s appeal is within the incredibly detailed and intricate stories each town resident has behind them. Make sure not to keep a one-track mind and only focus on the farm life; play the character and explore the town!<\/p>\n

Talking to each member of the town is fulfilling on its own but for those that are looking for even more profound relationships, gifts are a great way to show affection. Remember to gift all the townsfolk to get their friendship meters up; and who knows, maybe that friendship could flourish into something romantic<\/a> as well.<\/p>\n

5 <\/span>Keep Some Grass On Your Farm<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Once livestock is available to purchase, those animal friends will become a valuable asset to the player’s farm. Along with companionship, these animals will bring new resources to sell for good coin. However, these animals, like any other living creature, need sustenance<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Make sure to leave a few patches of grass when clearing the plot of land for crops as these tall grass bushes can then be harvested for hay. Buying hay can be pricey and will ultimately dampen the overall profit that comes from the livestock. Using grass and saving up to build a silo will help with the costs of livestock maintenance in the long run.<\/p>\n

4 <\/span>Save Materials To Repair The Bridge On The Beach<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Aside from profits from selling crops, there’s a good amount of money found in the simple act of foraging as well. Foraging is important; simple flowers or berries can really rack up in the end and help with paying off expenses. However, it’s important to consider saving up materials to repair the broken bridge in the beach area of town as that area is filled with more valuable items to forage for.<\/p>\n

Make sure not to neglect this valuable resource! This bridge requires 300 pieces of wood<\/a> to repair, so it’s best to make it a point to save some up to unlock this new area<\/a> as soon as possible.<\/p>\n

3 <\/span>Donate To The Community Center Right Away<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

After a few days, the Community Center will open up, allowing the player to donate bundles to help repair certain parts of the town. These bundles consist of various items<\/a> found in-game, ranging from things that are only obtained from livestock to things that can only be found when mining.<\/p>\n

These bundles also range in difficulty of obtaining them as well and are separated into seasons. Once the season is over, and say one or two items of a bundle are missing, the player will be out of luck. Those items won’t be available to harvest or forage<\/a> for an entire year until the season makes its round again. It’s a good idea to start collecting these bundles right away so progress can be made all year round.<\/p>\n

2 <\/span>Make Sure To Plant Crops Near Water<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

One of the most common mistakes when starting up the garden area is planting seeds wherever seems “okay”. Plan ahead! It’s difficult to keep building around the initial plot of soil then realizing, “ah, I should have moved it earlier,” when it’s far too late.<\/p>\n

For starters, make sure to plant the first batch of seeds next to\u00a0a nearby pond. Watering can be fatiguing and making the trip back to a water source for a quick refill when tending to crops<\/a>\u00a0can take up a lot of time. Avoid this by ensuring that the very first set of seeds planted are next to a pond for easy refilling access.<\/p>\n

1 <\/span>Prioritize The Backpack Upgrade<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Bigger inventory means getting more tasks done for the day. Upgrading the backpack should be one of the first things every player should aim to save up for! Inventory upgrades should almost always take priority. Making trips back and forth from farm to chest, chest to store, and back can be a waste of time and energy.<\/p>\n

Players can do themselves a huge favor by putting this upgrade at the top of their list in the beginning stages of Stardew Valley<\/em> for the sake of convenience, profit, and efficiency.<\/p>\n
