Avoid Doing These 10 Things! | Coral Island Tips & Tricks

[@broghoops7937]

Also, recommended to go to your setting and put the time to 50% speed. Really helps in early games where you can spend more time foraging, fishing, etc

[@sarahsunstone]

Yes, this was included in my previous Tips & Tricks video! It's a MUST.

[@FayeBDragon]

Yes, Miss Sunstone mentions this in her Tips & Tricks video and plays at this speed on her livestreams. I wish it could still go a little slower. I get caught up in the beauty of the island and see the time passed so quickly.

[@koriandr22]

What? Man I wish I would’ve known that. I’m in the first winter, should I still do that or it’s too late?

[@piperbird7193]

I think I would add - as cute as the trash pathing and fencing is, DON'T waste your trash on making them. Once you've cleared the ocean, it is so hard to get trash in any quantity, and you need so much scrap and so much compost (if you want to make fertilizer) that I wish I hadn't lost so much early on. I wish we could break the path and fencing back down into trash again. However - ABSOLUTELY make the trash chest very first thing, as storage is so important. You CANNOT drop an item on the ground and pick it up later if your inventory is full, so having a place you can stash your good stuff is important. You can store things in your selling box, just remember to remove them again before bed. I've also stopped making fertilizer for plants that are one time crop yields. I only use it for repeating crops because it just takes too much trash to make it over and over again.

[@tenchihira]

The caves actually spawn an infinite amount of trash, so it’s not that difficult to get more but I definitely agree that people should hold off on them Edit: I’m a dummy who didn’t realize this was a year ago. My point still stands but yes

[@piperbird7193]

@@tenchihira lol yup, it's a very outdated tip now 😅 The trash caves certainly help now.

[@kittyowlblu]

Damn really?? yikes Ive just started the game and made tons of cute trash pathing. noooooo!

[@piperbird7193]

@@kittyowlblu don't worry! that was old information. Now they've added 4 different caves in the ocean that open after you clean a portion of it. The are endless rooms of trash, coffers, and fossils. Make all the trash items you want! Happy playing!

[@FlowersMakeMeHappy]

3:26 In the top left corner of the mines there is a "crack" In the dirt, if you strike it with your pickaxe it will move keep striking it and it will lead you to a bonus ore spot!!! It took me wayyyyyy to long to realize that! But it's really helpful and a neat little feature :3

re: the trash cans, some fish so far have *only* been found in trash cans like the "black phantom ghost fish" so definitely worth bumping them for that reason too

[@FayeBDragon]

I love watching Miss Sunstone kicking the cans throughout the town.

[@sarahsunstone]

Yeah! I’ve definitely noticed that!!

[@Lunaryasilversky]

you can also get brown trout and koi.

[@LeopardThongPrint]

Actually I got a black phantom ghost fish fishing in the river just east of my farm.

[@deepstonecostco]

@@LeopardThongPrint Yeah in the recent big updates they added them into the waterways. Previously, they'd only been found in trashcans.

[@Sofia-gg4hr]

Recently, I gave both the blacksmith brother's daffodils and then rummaged through the trash only to get a daffodil and I just went "😨 who did this". Good to know it can happen to anyone 😂

[@LilMissy9315]

If they did that on purpose for gifts they’re meh about that would be high tier hilarity

[@robertskitch]

I've done a pacifist run right down to the current bottom of the mines without my sword, so it's definitely doable. Did not know that there was a no-combat mode in development. That's nice to hear.

[@lindseymick3843]

Another one is: "Do NOT wait on finishing those temple bundles!" Everytime you finish a seasonal bundle you get access to more seeds. The further in the month you wait the less likely you'll be able to plant those new seeds. I say this out of experience of doing this myself :(

[@sarahsunstone]

And you can harvest the sugar cane on the daily!!!

[@UrsulaPowers]

I don’t know where the temple is!

same, i literally cried when my crops died when summer started

[@look_mypfp_6875]

Yeah but there’s no rush on the game, either ☺️

[@orenjikitty]

re: Seeds - The Wild Seeds can also give you crops that you cant access yet via the town rank system. It's very much worth it to plant those

[@pyq27]

Very helpful indeed, thanks! For me the most important tips were 'naming the chests' (for some reason I had not seen that option -.-) and 'upgrading the lab'.

[@annabananabread9773]

I haven’t accidentally killed a crop with a tool but I have definitely wasted stamina by using my tools on the ground by mistake 😂 Happens a lot when I’m in a hurry with mining a big group of rocks together. Eventually my mouse will miss and I’ll just pickaxe the ground lol

[@FayeBDragon]

oh dear! Don't know if one should laugh or cry

Since I have not started it, this vid is gold for me. I watched it but I'll save it in my fav list to see it 3 or 4 more times before I start... Thank you queen Sarah!🙇‍♂🙇‍♂🙇‍♂

[@sarahsunstone]

Thank you so much for the support Alejandro! I can't wait for you to play

[@aegisofhonor]

you actually want to upgrade your watering can the day BEFORE a rainy day, that way you can water, upgrade, have it rain the next day, then pick it up the next day after, assuming that next day is not a Friday. Make sure not to do this on a Friday as you won't be able to pick it up on Sunday.

[@oraclecardmessages]

You always keep us on our toes! Thank you for all of the tips!

[@f.bht.7150]

I was actually able to get my stamina replenished even before the water came back to the hot spring. I found out on accident just walking in and wanting to check out the place^^

[@Zugzug386]

Thank you Sarah and yes as Joker pointed out Stairway is watching

[@Desilovesgaming]

I didn’t know about the clovers so I’m now roving around hitting them. I knew about the hot springs but didn’t think to use it in that capacity 🤯 thank you 😊

[@bonetower]

For tip 3 the random crops include ones you cannot buy right away, it's just a very rare chance.

[@FayeBDragon]

but worth the chance!

[@bonetower]

@@FayeBDragon Yes! Exactly.

[@mbuhtz]

THANK YOU for the lab upgrade tip! I assumed it was for a single stack or type of seeds (don't know why), so having that clarified was great! It's these differences from Stardew Valley that tripe up, lol

[@Ceares]

holy crap, after trying to harvest the clovers, I just gave up -thank you for this! Also, was totally ignoring the Lab and hadn't realized the hot springs was open for stamina. (I do keep hitting my plots with the pick ax but that's because of the lag) Super useful tips!

[@killakella1433]

Thank you so much for these tips! Five hours in and I'm so hooked already! I was wondering if we'd all be starting from square one again when 1.0 drops or if we can just continue the early access save file by then?

[@sarahsunstone]

You bet!! I’m so glad you’re enjoying this amazing game!! So your story progress will likely reset when there is a major update that fundamentally changes the game (there will be about 10 major content updates), however it’s been confirmed that for every update the plan is for us to keep our gold, everything in our storage, and our farm layout!!

[@killakella1433]

I did the worse version of tip 4 which was accidentally destroy the chest that had most of my tools in it. reloading/restarting didn't bring em back for some reason and couldn't find anywhere to repurchase so I had to start a new save 💀 thankfully i was only like on day 4 or 5 of spring

1. the pickaxe things frustrates me.. lol now i just left the pickaxe inside a chest when i am tending my crops 2. the trashbin though.. when i needed trash the most, they spit out fishes, torn page and hibiscus...............

[@FayeBDragon]

You are lucky they spit our fishes, torn pages, and hibiscus - worth a lot more than the trash. However, I totally understand when you need something and can't obtain it. I noticed Miss Sunstone tends to get trash from her Geode she takes to Pablo. I am always offended when I see that, but realize Trash may be just what you need. Good Luck!

[@vg2448]

Might I add another thing not to do. Do not upgrade your Water Can to Silver or Gold if the next day is not raining or not the final day of the month. Every day plants go without water is a noticable delay on crop growth, it is not worth upgrading them and not being able to water crops. Crops don't need to be watered on the last day of the month since most die after day anyways if they aren't finished growing, there is no need to worry about watering that day. It is also un-needed to water on rainy days. Hope this helps with judging when to upgrade your Watering Can to Silver and Gold.
