A Beginner's Guide to Stardew Valley

[@scottduff3005]

I figured that out randomy lol

[@anais3337]

I think the most valuable thing I heard from this video is that everything repeats and there’s no need to feel rushed 😭 I was totally overwhelmed by the short days when I first picked up stardew valley, and since I’ve played after watching this video, I’ve been completely obsessed. Thank you!!!

[@SwedePotato314]

I needed to read this, thank you. I don’t get a lot of time to play so I was really worried about that’s stressed out feeling I’d get when I had days when I couldn’t log into my other farming/“chill” games and there’d be something I’d miss or my crops would die or something lol I hate that feeling and I just want to relax and farm.

[@him4rs_]

sameee I'm like why time is so fucking fast like I'm a farmer give me time

[@Black_Aces]

For some reason hopping into the game for the first time I felt like I was rushed and there was some hidden deadline idk why, maybe cause time goes by so fast in the game 😂

[@yashyi08]

Same!! I felt like if i didn’t complete everything in the first two years i would somehow lose?😂 Nice to hear that i can really take my time and enjoy the slower pace

[@smoothwalrus9354]

I just started playing. I just set one goal per day, like, today is a mining day. Or, today is a fishing day. Made it seem more manageable.

I love how Stardew Valley players crave stardew valley videos that even if they have 400 hours in the game, they still watch it because it's interesting

[@v.crowley]

Everyone plays differently.. likes and hates different characters and because of that is why sdv players watch others.. familiar game but every play through is completely unique

[@Caleb.3473]

To all the beginners, I'd like to say that your daily luck probably affects less than you fear. Geode-cracking and monster loot, for instance, are not affected by your daily luck. I'd say the most important thing that it influences is the chance for a staircase to appear in the mines. Just don't let a "bad luck day" keep you from having fun :D UnsurpassableZ has a great video on this:)

[@verymev]

[@CrimsonNyx]

Oh my god it doesn't affect geodes???? I have saved up geodes for good luck days for 100 hours of playing....

[@Caleb.3473]

@@CrimsonNyx ikr, I used to do the same. My understanding is that geode loot is predetermined based on your seed, not even rng based

My tip is: Keep all the grass on your farm. Then get a silo and then you should cut the grass. This will give you plenty of hay to feed your animals. Also constanly grow grass! Also, dont throw away all your clay. You will need it for the silo and other important things.

[@SwedePotato314]

Wait, I’m sorry if this is a dumb question, I bought the game 2 years ago and i haven’t even opened it yet but I plan on starting next week.. So do you mean don’t clear any of the little grass clumps (?) when I start my farm and keep them there until I get a silo? So the grass doesn’t grow back until I specifically plant it or does the grass grow somewhere else like not on tillable land? I’m so sorry lol I realize that’s way too many silly questions but any help is super appreciated. I don’t get a lot of time to game, hardly any at all. So I don’t think I’ll do more than one playthrough so it’d be awesome to be as knowledge as I can. I genuinely appreciate any info for beginners! Thank you!

[@yuptasty]

@@SwedePotato314 Grass will grow on its own, but it does take some time. The benefit to waiting until the silo is that you can then clear all the grass you've hoarded to get hay. Since you have left all the grass, you can get a ton more hay. If you clear all the grass before getting the silo, however, then the silo is nothing more than storage, and you'll likely have to buy some hay from Marnie.

[@scooter825]

dumb question but what is grass? I'm sickleing a lot of that green stuff but you're talking about something different right

[@cookiechan7641]

@scooter825 the grass isn't anything like the crops. It is green in summer and spring and when you walk on it it slows you down.

[@casf120]

Can’t you just store all the grass you collect?

[@nullspaceindustries]

Something that greatly reduced my stress when I learned it is that unlike the Harvest Moon games crops don't die if you don't water them. They don't grow either, but there's no need to panic over however much money is gonna go down the drain if you forget. Not sure if this is something everyone except me thought was obvious but I never would have figured it out if I hadn't stumbled across it on the wiki one day

[@Krlytz]

I also thought they would die if I didn't water them! I was so relieved when I found out the truth 😂

[@SwedePotato314]

Thank you!

[@xeacarons]

i just found out from ur comment Harvest moon gave me a pstd that the first thing i do is water those crops then i check the tv

as someone who gets insane anxiety from anything timer based (majoras mask was difficult omg), this was really helpful! the combination of limited energy and short days was really stressing me out and making me want to avoid playing despite so many people recommending it to me. I'll give it another go! thanks for the tips!

[@salmence100]

I have also never been able to play through Majora's Mask because of that, so I get it!

[@Radiogumdrop]

I think it’s important to mention to new players that you will get increased energy throughout the game and it’s generally hard to miss that!

[@littlekingofthebirds]

Always buy the silo first, then a coop. That's my top tip.

[@therealjetlag]

The silo is only important for the winter as animals prefer eating fresh grass. My top tip is to NOT fence your animals in so they feed themselves and don't scythe away all of your grass, letting it regrow every day. Selling their produce makes it much faster to buy a silo. Also, save all of your fibre and buy the grass starter recipe so you can plant more if your animals overgraze.

[@catpoisonlover]

Only if it's winter, Animals can eat the grass outside

[@Stelpots]

@@catpoisonlover Not on rainy days they can't. So the silo is needed if you don't want to buy hay from Marnie.

[@serg10xm.69]

Same here, I need something telling me "go here" "do this" atleast for the first hour

[@Black_Aces]

I was definitely also caught off guard by the amount of freedom this game gives you, and barely any guidance! It makes it fun in its own little way though

[@Kr4v3rd]

​@serg10xm.69 just do what you feel like feeling. Sure you'll have some responsibilities if you want money like watering your crops but after that you want to fish, fish. Talk to the local floozies. Do that. All I'm doing is farming, clearing the land and talking to one girl. Two if I can find the other. Other than that. I'm mining and fishing when I can. Once you're steady with cash is usually the part where you start exploring.

[@georgejones5019]

It might be an age difference thing, but I hate when games hold my hand for the first few hours with tutorial overload. I started with the NES and SNES. It's a real casual game. Just get to learning things on your first playthrough. You can get more extreme on your next playthroughs to complete the community center within the first year and such.

[@Brick20193]

To those playing on console I recommend you put your sword next to your pickaxe in your hotbar it makes it much easier to switch from pick to sword while in combat

[@NetchoCheese]

[@alexafama6315]

If any beginners read this, to expand a little on the Museum Collection (in the Library). Mostly everything can be donated as soon as you get 1 of them, but I would recommend hanging onto these ones UNTIL you have at least 2 of them: Dinosaur Egg, Prismatic Shard, and Diamond (optional). I'll explain each (and I'll try to keep it as spoiler free as I can in case any want to figure these out themselves!): Dinosaur Egg should be saved for after you've upgraded your Coop at Robin's. Prismatic Shard should be saved until you've unlocked the Bus from the Community Centre and figure out the secret at the Bus's destination. Diamond can be saved until you complete the 25,000g Bundle in the Community Centre and receive your reward. This is optional because Diamonds are not hard to come by later on in the game, and you'll likely find more diamonds before you even have a spare 25,000g to drop on the Bundle. I hope this helps (if anyone even reads this)!

[@ijneb1248]

Or instead you save a jade for that 25,000 bundle since jades are wayyyy more useful than diamonds

[@babswayne5193]

when i was noob in my first playthrough i got a dino egg and a prismatic shard just by luck. but bc i had gotten the hang of the game pretty quick i didn’t watch any guides like this one and donated them both to the museum 😭😭😭

this is a great guide; along with Therm's, these are the best starter guides I've seen for stardew. most other guides are about "how do I maximize profits" or obscure tips that, while interesting, are overwhelming to new players and not helpful for the start of the game. I really liked the town tour, because that felt like someone was really just sitting you down and is like "okay here's where everything is and what it does for the start of the game"

A real correction, Salmence misspoke when he said you could give two gifts per day. He meant two per week. As far as I can tell, there is a hard cap of one gift per day, two per week. An exception is that you can give somebody three gifts, only if you've already given them two gifts that week before their birthday. If you haven't given them two gifts already, the gift you give on their birthday will count as one of the two and doesn't allow you to do a third that week. As for why you're allowed to do 3 gifts in a week, I assume it's because the bonus for giving a gift on a birthday is so good that concerned ape (the creator) would rather make sure you can, regardless of what you had done prior.

[@jimmysthoughts8571]

Additional exception I just thought of! When you get married, you can give your spouse as many gifts as you want in a week, though it is capped to one per day I believe.

To anyone that is curious. The number of swings needed to fully take down a tree and the stump is 15 by default. As you upgrade the number will go down.also, when organizing your stuff. Remember you can change the color of chests, though I suggest organizing by type. Organic, minerals, seeds/fertilizer, monster loot, and tools. Also, after doing the community center, I suggest keeping all your low quality forage items, silver or higher should be sold, but flowers and fruit should be kept for other uses.

I was wondering this! I’m about to start my first playthrough so I don’t know which playstyle I prefer and I don’t get a lot of time to game at all, so I’d rather not have to start a new save if I don’t have to. I figured the 4 corners farm was a good middle ground with a little bit of each one, even though I’m playing solo. I was wondering if it’s bigger because it’s meant for multiplayer, like maybe it would be too big and too much for one player to handle but if it’s the same size then I definitely think I’m going to go for this one. I’d read a lot of stuff that said beginners should only go for the forest or basic farm, and really pushed away from any other options so I’m grateful I read this. Thank you!

Great Video Salmence! One correction I noticed: Running out of health only brings you to the hospital if you get reduced to 0 health outside of the mines in the mountain and/or the mini-dungeon where you get the Golden [REDACTED]. If you run out of health there, you wake up at the entrance of the mines by Linus or Marlon, suffering the same penalties as a trip to the hospital. Spoilers for 1.5 endgame content: Also, if you reduced to 0 health on Ginger Island, you get woken up at the southern pier by Willy or Leo, facing a greater monetary penalty (5x as much) and the same item penalty.

I'm in spring of year 2 on my second save file that I got the community center done with, I've been trying to set up a bunch of bee houses and kegs so I've been in the mines going after dust sprites (I still don't feel that good at mining or skull caverns, Sal's play along file got him a lot farther in the mines) and from a *dust sprite* I got *my first ever prismatic shard*

[@oreorio]

Congratulations on getting your first prismatic shard! To be honest, I got my first when I kill the grub insect

[@honey2waysakaeggyegg]

WOW that's really lucky! i didn't even know that could happen! i got my first from an item code because if i didn't get the galaxy sword i would die in floor 1 of skull caverns haha

[@cass6020]

@@honey2waysakaeggyegg I know right?! I had no idea it was possible, I completely understand using item codes. I have a farm with my partner that we don't play on much, it might be worth using them there to make things easier

[@honey2waysakaeggyegg]

@@cass6020 i recommend it! i tend to make rules for myself like i can only spawn certain items by buying pigs so i actually have to work and get a deluxe barn and 16k n all that, i prefer to actually do stuff just hate the mines lol, but for each their own! hope u and ur partner have fun! :)

[@aliciawalker5611]

This video is beyond helpful! I just started playing yesterday and started off a little confused. This answered so many questions I had and now I’m even more excited to play!

[@aliciawalker5611]

@NEXUS492 No I play on switch. Why?

[@alohadoodlez]

Another new player rite of passage is happily purchasing a coop or barn before you realize the silo exists, and then all your animals are mad at you as you frantically scramble to collect enough clay.

[@slwrabbits]

I am forever scarred by running out of hay during the last days of winter in the original Harvest Moon because the silo literally would not hold enough for the number of animals I had. Yeah, only doing that once.

[@wonderlandzer0]

Part of me blames Robin for that for giving me the goal of making a coop or well first. Like, GIRL my animals will STARVE without a Silo, wym build a well?? 😂

[@AubergineStorm]

I already know Stardew Valley but put this on in the background and still really enjoyed it! Thanks so much 😊

[@2111jade]

My current main save is the standard farm. Got 8 million something in gold, my house completely upgraded, the town completely upgraded. The only thing I'm missing is perfection. I'm trying my best to not see spoilers for it.

[@CrispyCL306]

I was very confused as I kept exhausting myself, this was probably the perfect video to get me started. Thanks!

[@Krlytz]

I've begin playing recently (my most advanced farm is halfway through its first autumn). This video thought me a lot of little things I didn't know. I'll definitely enjoy my game even more now. Thank you ❤

[@salmence100]

You're welcome, glad I could help!

[@CallMeMouzzy]

Thank you! I just bought Stardew Valley and I didn't really understand much about it. But after watching this video i realized how much this game has to offer and how fun it actually is. You are very good at explaining and your chanel has much to offer. The game is much more fun after watching your video. You got yourself a new subscriber!

[@jimmysthoughts8571]

Correction! The first truly important choice is whether you're getting a cat or dog and what color it is! lol

[@zie2664]

I KNEW IT! Fishing has always been my problem when I started playing the game (today) but thank you so so much for this, it rlly helped me w/ a lot of things i didn't know of this game 😅

[@sethwoodbury4557]

This is my first playthrough and I chose the beach farm 🤣🤣 found out towards fall of year 1 you can't place sprinklers in sand sooooo now I've gotta rearrange my whole farm to better accommodate animals and crops 😅 (currently in year 2 of spring)

[@samfraulino]

This was by far the best video for anyone wanting to start this game. It was super intimidating even for me a 52 yr old gamer. This video really helped me understand how to start the game, but also how fun it will be. Thank you.

[@YourPalRal]

Now I have a video to recommend to people that want to play the game!

[@createdbymea.9447]

wanna play this game with me if yes. then check my description , send message on my insta

[@losian-y2u]

The funniest thing when I played Stardew Valley was that I didn't know I could cut grass to get hay, so I ended up planting wheat all summer and autumn...😂

[@demitsuru]

i played for 46hours, and decided that i needed a guide to be sure that i missed something. Yes. 1 thing, that you can use pickaxe for undoing hoe mess for aesthetics. Great guide! :)

[@colbr06]

My biggest gripe so far after a few hours is how terrible the map is.

[@jacobbroosh3386]

Which map are you using? I’m looking to play for the first time

[@GreySeashell-j3m]

SOMEONE WHO GETS ME 😭 IS IT DESIGNED TO MAKE U SUFFER?

[@A5ch3rsBl00m]

ive been playuing the game for a couple of months and this honestly helped, it feels like i have to rush with the crops even though i cant fully understand it yet, the fishing is diffucult and im struggling to make money and given how fast the time goes in game it makes me feel highl rushed so this honestly helps..

[@zigy6222]

I love this thanks for posting.🙂

[@a.p.3.10]

[@satunbreeze]

Ive played so manynhours of this game that I genuinely forget important aspects of it. Thank you for reminding me about the mail tab!!

[@TanookiJoce312]

I literally just started playing this game again today because I didn’t know what I was doing my first time around. I’m mad I decided to pick the forest with spawning monsters 😅 but what can you do 😂 This was super informative, thank you!

[@sethescope]

there's a way to turn off the monsters spawning! become friends with the wizard and follow his questline and you'll get access to something that can turn that off

[@KovEmea]

When I started my first game I accidentally choosed beach farm... Can anyone give me a tip about it?

[@jl7998]

I just started playing Stardew Valley and I've been slowly watching a ton of videos. Thanks for sharing all of this info!

[@ematronnn]

Just got the game and named it ‘my farm’ so now it’s ‘my farm farm’ 😭😭( 2:35 )

[@tstebbs42]

I just got the game yesterday. I had no clue how to DO anything. Now I do!! Thank you!!!

[@Danno_fan123]

1:34 uhhhh about that..

[@Woupsme]

Just started for the first time. I'm on day 8 or so. Glad to have everything I've seen e explained and some more. Didn't know you could create chests lol. I've been running around with 1 free slot every day pretty much. Trying to save for the 24 slot pouch but money is somewhat hard to come by imo. I don't know what I can sell without making it harder for myself in the long run.

[@Qjja]

6 hours in and the mine checkpoint just made me irrationally upset. I’ve been trying to figure out how tf I’m supposed to get sprinklers

[@kurii3166]

Thanks so much for this video! I watched it a couple months ago when I first picked up stardew, and it made the game go from feeling like a confusing source of stress to a fun puzzle. This video really handles all of the basics so you can build ontop of it with knowledge as you go along :D
