I feel extremely behind- I only have 2000 G, I don't even have a silo or the backpack upgrade yet and it's already Spring 14. Is there anything I can do to catch up, or at least boost my productivity?

this was amazing! thank you!

Parsnips are the best crop for the 1st spring, when starting capital is the tightest constraint. You harvest very rapidly, quickly netting you money to buy an even bigger seed batch quickly. Cauliflower ties up your capital for way too long, and is better the next spring when farm area and watering are the tightest constraints.

"Don't cut the grass yet!"

welp, I have sinned....

Thanks! This was super useful :)

Where can I find and but this game?

i am going to find where is the Mine that runs from me

I would say what ever you do do not upgrade the watering can that can be quite taxing to your early game resourses. If you spent any time basically at all in the mines you will be able to afford watering systems and by the first winter I don't think I will be ever watering anything except cats drinking bowl on the days that I want to heavily roleplay this stuff! (I don't think feeding your cat has any gameplay benefits)

That quest tho 2:23

I'm not much on PC gaming, but if this came to consoles or even handheld then I'd be on it.

Quick correction: Animals don't actually need hay "every day". If you let them out, they'll eat grass instead (except on rainy days).
You'll notice in the video that her fenced area doesn't have any grass inside, so the chicken won't find anything to eat there.

Very good tips for starting players. I knewed them all, but they are all very important to know before playing. Great video, well made. Keep it up. Maybe do 2nd video with more advanced stuff ?

this would be a perfect game for vita and 3ds

Lovely voice Aoife!
