Stardew Valley - The Thread Of The Game!

[CFFJR]

Everyone's so excited for Stardew Valley, but no-one wanted to play a Harvest Moon game for Together Retro

I feel your pain dude.

I think Linus robbed me. I was exhausted and far from home, so got to his tent before 2am.

Passed out at 2 - woke up in my bed w/a note from Linus. Note says "I found you passed out, but someone had went through your pockets, not sure how much they took."

It was 55G, Linus - and YOU know that...YOU took it. Freakin' Linus.

Told you not to stay out til 2 man.

You find the mines yet?

[mjmjr25]

Yeah, we've gone in a few times, but need to load up on food - tire out too quickly w/our inferior tools - we get about 4 rooms deep before having to head back to bed. We need a better sword too - the slimes take like 7-8 hits right now.

We're saving up for a well and a chicken coop. Bought the bigger backpack a few days ago - that's an early must.

fishing is mad hard.

[mjmjr25]

Yeah, the fishing is tough. We've caught minnows, sardines, herring, smallmouth bass, breams and bullhead. Good money and good health in it though.

Fishing is the one thing I'm good at since my farm is lousy and combat is too grindy. Try fishing in the river in town, lots of good stuff there.

Also, Abigail not only has a SNES, but a Crono poster in her room. She's at 5 hearts while everyone else is at 1 or 0.

I'm about 7 hrs in now, and I'm still having fun but still unsure I'm "doing it right." I guess for the most part I am aiming to just get the "quests" completed, so like right now I'm just trying to forage and stuff to make enough $ and materials to have an animal pen built. I'm 20-something days into Spring. I probably have like 30 seeds planted now. Should I have a lot more? I guess I'm not 100% sure what I should be focusing on early on... farming? Foraging? Completing quests? The mines? Should I be saving all these materials I find or selling them?

I'm not crazy about the fishing. I feel like it uses up so much of my energy. I'm probably doing that wrong too haha.

More than I had at that point. Have you gotten into the community center yet? That's more stuff (scavenger hunt type thing) that you can unlock

My routine depends on the weather. If it's raining, I take some food and head straight to the mines. If it's nice out, I'll either fish or bullshit around with the people. Seems like the most money is made in farming, especially in summer. Blueberries and tomatoes get you some nice coin

[noiseredux]

yeah I opened the Community Center and got the first Spring set of stuff collected.

I don't have a kitchen yet, so can't cook anything.
