10 Do's & Don'ts of Stardew Valley | Beginner's Guide

[@lakegroce685]

I bought this game impulsively when I was sick two days ago and I love it. This guide is very helpful.

[@photocide17]

Same lol.

[@BethPlaysSims]

I bought it to play on cold rainy days I failed

[@Moonlover1492]

I bought it cause I have a second surgery coming up soon and wanted something to take my mind off it. Happy I did though, I like it a lot 😊

[@albertusaswin2012]

I like the humility. Some people out there just go 'do this and that!' Or ' don't do this and that!' But you simply go 'here are my tips, but you do what's best for you'.

[@cheesesteakphilly]

Probably one of the best tips. Especially with those vids titled “things you should NEVER do” or “Don’t miss out on these!”. It just adds stress.

[@neapolitanvt]

Fishing is always the main thing I focus on at the start of the game, it's really nice, easy, early money. (I'm also a massive sucker for any fishing minigame)

[@JunimoB]

Same! I’m totally the same way.😂

[@hudsonumi]

It’s kinda hard to

[@VTrucker777]

Day 9 still not fish a single fish Only fish for the quest Hate fishing so much i just check trade merch

[@saqibpindi9500]

I can relate 😂

Some Extra Tips: Try to Keep one of every crop you can grow. It helps with quest later on, especially ones that you get late in a month when you can't grow it in time. Do quest when possible, they pay a extra value and it gives friendship. When playing with online the beds can be laid (stood) in to restore energy. You don't even need to sleep (in fact don't because if everyone does it ends the day). There is no shame using the wiki's. People have collected the data so other can knkw where the villagers are at any time, what they like, and any special events with them. (Like what day they go to the doctor.) Also info on when you can get any items. Remember peiers shop is closed on Wednesdays The spring foragable flower is a universal like (excluding clint), so they make great gifts. It is possible to ask people to the spring dance year 1, you just need 5 hearts.The best way is to target a person with a birthday before the dance. I beleive I have personally had Haley and Shane at 5 hearts before the dance before. Final Tip, get two two hearts with Marnie for a quest that comes fairly early on from the Mayor.

[@jonskillings1258]

You get energy in bed in single player, you can either just select no when it asks if you want to sleep, or be good enough to not have the text box trigger while still restoring energy

[@catsnchess]

@@jonskillings1258They removed it :/

[@KeitieKalopsia]

The “keep one of every crop” is really good advice. That’s what I’m currently doing.

The text box you have added for your commentary is honestly an 11/10 idea and execution. Looks awesome and fits in seamlessly. It is a little small though, which makes it a little hard to read

[@LilMirasol02]

What has helped me as a beginner is upgrading my watering can in the winter because I couldn’t plant anything. My pet was without water for a couple days but he’s still alive and well :)

[@Buxky]

Great video! I just bought Stardew in the search for a relaxing laid back game, and these tips will definitely help to calm the part of my brain that yells at me constantly to figure out how to be more efficient. I also really enjoy your voice and manner of speaking, it kinda suits the chill vibe Stardew has. Would love to see more longform videos in the future

[@JunimoB]

Thanks so much! Happy I could help, even a little bit.😇

[@boydcrowder-lp1uh]

Thank you for this guide. I was overwhelmed so I haven't touched the game again. But now, I feel like it's okay to discover what works for me. Thank you ♡

[@IvanMelonKing]

As someone who has 100+ hrs some of the tips helped a little bit

[@Gingiey]

Same here! Those 100+ hours were spent mostly fishing and mining haha 😅

I just started playing SV and the algorithm introduced me to your shorts. Your enthusiasm and love you put into your videos is amazing! Seeing how much you improved from just one year ago to where you are now is truly inspiring and I'm excited to see where your journey is going ❤ Thanks for your hard work and please keep on giving us quality yt content ❤🎉

[@derashanks]

This was a great guide. And calming. I was overwhelmed by trying to complete everything in the first year. Now I can take a breath and enjoy the game again.

[@nickevison391]

A really useful tip is that you can place objects outside your farm, as long as its not in any NPCs way. Early game you can put chests down at your preferred fishing spots, which makes fishing way more convenient, or in the entrance to the mines. You can even put your smelters in there Slightly later (as early as midsummer of year 1) you can create massive tree plantations near the railway, or in the desert once you have the bus repaired. Later still you can basically decorate the entire town and valley according to your whims, and spread a lot of your industrial production into less travelled areas of the valley You can check the wiki for good safe spots for chests, but on one of the islands in the mountain lake or just behind the bait barrel next to Willys shop are excellent for fishing.

[@BrentHasCoolDogs]

Ive never been a fan of these types of games but your shorts started showing up on my feed and actually got me interested in playing the game(which i love, btw). So yeah, just wanted to say thanks for introducing me to something i really enjoy that i wouldnt have tried if not for your content. Also, you have a fantastic voice for this sorta thing. Youre very easy to understand and you make your points concisely but thoroughly. Thanks again!

[@tallnsweet13]

missed opportunity to say “star-dos and star-donts”

[@Camobo3095]

Having your captions in a Stardew Valley text box is super cool!

Thanks for this! Ive been meaning to go back to stardew after like 2 years but ive always felt like theres just too much stuff to do there haha but now im slowly getting the motivation to go back

first stardew valley video I looked up as a new player! really enjoyed this and subbing - hope to see more :) going to restart my save I think

[@televisionkid7783]

my friend bought me this game 3 years ago, but i only just opened it and started playing yesterday- IM ADDICTED I LOVE THIS

[@justarandomdudebro148]

Lots of great advice in the video. The most helpful thing in this for me though was the little spa hint, which I didn't even know the spa had a use or could be used!

[@FoxGameCZ]

I took me over 10 years to archive perfection because I wasn't interested in completing it at first

[@Qween_North]

Super helpful! I just made it to year 2 but I like never mined, fished, or made friends 😅 I just farmed all day everyday. I’m starting a new game today with the idea of mixing it up and doing all the things.

I dont play this game anymore but I still watch your videos! That’s really fun

[@zarakikon6352]

Great video 😊👍. I'm about to start my first playthrough so this helps.

[@InfiniteGameLoop]

Useful. I'm about to dive into the game, and really only want to know enough at this point to not be an utter failure, so I'm consuming videos like this. But beyond that, I can tell we probably share similar gaming philosophies.

I agree! Been playing for years but its still good to be reminded: just have fun with it and play how you want to play! 😊

[@andrewvarcoe4741]

Nice little video, good tips and info, I play this game right now (takin a break lol) the things I find that help the stores can sell large amounts of the ores and resources for building, so if you can sell a lot you can buy all the wood,stone,coal and ores as needed. He hardest was iridium ores, but then completing the grandfather's shrine saves on forced trips into skull caverns, later the ores and such are fairly easy to come by. The way this game plays, there is no reason to worry about progression, eventually things add up as you play. The relationships with townsfolk can be done in the saloon and later on you can focus on them when your farm is set the way you feel is good. The saloon is great, allows you to buy favorites to give to the ones who visit and you can add a chest to store extra items for gifting. The biggest reason to get to know npc's is the food recipes they can give, some are really helpful.

[@DJChrisCruise]

Great help! My wife and I just started our first farm two days ago, and you’re correct, early-on fishing is ass 😂

[@soha7617]

These are great tips and I love the text box! ❤

[@Sean.Turtles]

I recently got into a relationship with this beautiful girl. I'm a gamer but she's not. However she's very interested in trying something I like doing. I've been recommended Stardew Valley as a good starting point. I know little to nothing about the game. Before I recommend she try Stardew Valley, I figured I'd test it first. I play highly competitive multiplayer games. Since Stardew Valley is nothing like what I'm used to, so it threw me into a loop. It looks like such an easy to understand game but there's so much depth in the gameplay. I'm struggling to get the basics down but I'm having fun learning through these beginner guides on KZbin. Hopefully in a few days, once I get a better grasp at the game, I'll let her try it out and hold her hand throughout her experience.

[@darthartagnan4737]

Have not played in 3 years.. looking to get back into it and this was very helpful !!

I am new to this game as I played coral island before, at first I am not expected much from this game because I am not fan of this pixels kind of game but I'm surprise that I find myself spending most of the time and enjoy this game. Thank you for your video

This was really helpful. Thanks 🙏

[@TheEvilChocolateCookie]

Can I just say I love your content? Since I was able to re-purchase the game because I lost my original copy, I’ve been hooked. Dare you to warp yourself to the summit before you hit perfection. Just put your items away first. Chests and big chests are your friends.

[@SusanRoseTheAuthor]

Thank you for this guide, my husband just bought this game for me!!! 10 out of 10 guide!!!

[@lindakooistra1889]

Great Job!!

[@donaldroy4717]

Critique: 1] epic strategy for beginners ✔ (getting more perfect catches/exp. buffed, working on technique/mechanics, building confidence, bar is set to lvl 5 length, correction: buy fiberglass rod at lvl 5 ). Fish on rainy days for rare/required fish for cc completion, open treasure chests while fishing for a jump on resources (mine), free bait, and artifacts. Make a crabpot... free trash to recycle, cc completion, and food source (recipes). 2] make the choice: sell only clay (farming), high quality (stacked) fish OR USE IT FOR FOOD in the mine. Make a chest for fishing (day 2) and another for mine "lobby" (day 5). Regular fish should be saved for sashimi or emergency food. Forageables (non-"cc") should be sold, support initial setup on farm/fish days (week 1)/used for making seasonal seeds. SELL HOLLY. 3] move tv/bed near the door, gate your pet to prevent deaths at 02:00 (easier petting), fortune (rainy/bad luck -> fish, pyramid/stardrop -> mine (day 5+)), get recipes -> open doors for the future! 4] Upgrade tools (Clint) AFTER DOING THE ACTION CONNECTED TO THE TOOL (or if you know you are fishing the next day (upgrade pickaxe), cleared trees on farm? (upgrade axe), hoe on (Sat.)) 5] carry a chest with you is GOOD BEHAVIOR, sell what you don't KEEP, beware of npc pathing (destroys crafted/placed items), wood -> buildings(Jodi)/house upgrades (1000+), chests (50), bridge at beach (300), machines/devices. 6] skipping days is for speedrunners (streamers), fill your days with activities (if you have resources/energy), spa ✔ ✅ 7] cc (or Joja path), quest board, emergencies happen! Fyi, use the greenhouse/Ginger Island/sheds, they help! 8] do it right (week 1), chose paths after that -> live with the responsibility, have fun! 😅 9] beware of friendship degradation (spouse/villager 1 ❤ to max (10/14)), be polite to them (trash diving, attacking them, heart events, birthdays, 2 gifts/week, courtesy chit-chat) 10] choice is choice, take responsibility! Agreed with format, language, and presentation. Good job!

[@wolfyblackknight8321]

I ended up spending 10 years in my min save mostly because I kept spending all my money on upgrades rather then scaling up my farm I got the community center I think year 3 and then later I decided to 100% just to get all trophies before possibly getting into moding it. also 6:20 did not know that, super glad I pulled up this video on my recommended because that is such a quality of life thing.

[@darsus07]

Another useful tip regarding the Community Center items is that said items make the scroll wiggle when hovering over them.

[@arviepenaranda2209]

Thank you so much for this! It really helps!

[@indigoTwilight1967]

Thank you for tip 10. Everyone keeps telling me to go fishing in year 1...but it's so hard when I can't catch the fish. Yes, I land the hit, but can't beat the mini game. I actually took to the mines to get money instead. Things got better with fishing, but I think it had to do with me just being calmer and feeling secure with my time and resources. And finding out I could land fish with the training rod. 🤣

7:40 I never had 100% perfection in the game and I think that I never will reach it because I prefer to play very relaxed. 😎

[@ghastlyanarchy1720]

Tbh, for fishing, just fish at the mountain lake, every catch is easy up there during spring so use any free down time to fish there and get used to it so by summer you'll have a good hang plus at least 5 levels so a bigger bar.

[@mercury9641]

I may be a bit late, but anyway Here's my tip If you have in your inventory anythung needed in bundles, the button to show them will sign you when hover your cursor on that item I wish I knew it sooner, hope I helped someone ❤

[@diannebeatty3851]

I think on Wednesdays the Queen of sauce is repeated, and ConcernedApe changed it so you learn a recipe you don't have yet (that has already been broadcast). Not sure when he made that change. Nice video!

[@Larimuss]

8. Yeah I'm on day 2. This really helped me enjoy the game more, its too stressful to think I need to max efficiency and production into every single day when I have no clue what I'm doing
