[@rachelldonohue8960]

I'm 34 and this is the first time I've seen a dyslexic font option and I'm just so touched

[@diamondly6250]

ik right! it helps a ton. as a kid i hated reading then when i was around 18 kindle added it and now i read all the time, FOR FUN!

[@Roshi_Goth]

Right! I feel seen! xD

[@SunnyLovetts]

wtf lol

[@Flippohoyyy]

@@rachelldonohue8960 based devs for adding the option at all

[@weevil8025]

I remember playing early access a while ago and thinking 'This game is too good, I better stop spoiling myself'. So I put it away, excited to get back into it.

[@arnicamontana6222]

So many helpful tips! I didn’t know you can right click the mouse to identify crops & see when they’ll be ready. After playing the EA for 467 hours, I love that there’s still so much to discover & experience! Thanks for another amazing video Sarah

[@sarahsunstone]

I’m excited to see what else there is in 1.0 - major features aside. I just KNOW Stairway sprinkled in all sorts of little things that we’ll discover tomorrow! Thanks so much Arnica!

[@kyraeverknight]

The hit to aggro, dyslexic and font size accessibility options have made a world of difference for me! Thank you Stairway!

[@Saywhaat15]

I'm a grown man that plays COD, Elden Ring, etc. and here I am enjoying and getting hooked on Coral Island. But goddamn does it give me my daily dose on rainbows and sunshine after getting wrecked in some of those 'more hardcore' games. Thanks for the tips though I've been playing for a while and these tips made some annoying parts much easier to handle!

[@szilvia2324]

Same haha

[@Bagheera23608]

Welcome to the cozy side of gaming!

[@CelyneSCI]

So excited! 1.0 is finally here! 🎉 (almost...just a few hours more)

[@yunanakamichi3100]

What time is it actually releasing? I'm so excited! I can't help but keep on checking steam while doing my assignments 😭

[@junjoydu3053]

You're a blessing to this community!!

[@jasonpaterson8363]

I recently got this, played a total of 24 hours. This is such a fantastic chill game, can't wait to play 1.0. I was able to get about $150k+ playing and selling off then demolishing to start anew tomorrow.

[@Kenshaable]

Waw, could you tell me more about how u did it? Just been gifted the game

[@seabass4984]

The fact that you're putting out these really well made and helpful videos and planning to do a 12 hour stream tomorrow is insane! Great work as always Sarah, can't wait to play Coral Island 1.0 alongside the rest of the community!

[@HeadHunterSix]

Thanks for these tips! I'm new to Coral Island - tried Stardew and it didn't click with me - but I'm loving Island life so much already!

[@sisco_indigo]

Thank you Sarah for all these tips! you are the BEST! Can’t wait to play tomorrow!

[@sarahsunstone]

YOU FINALLY GET TO PLAY!!!

[@CalicoShoes]

gah congrats you've been so patient

Congrats, you can finally play 🎉 I hope you will enjoy every moment! You will be an expert right on your first gameplay.

[@sarhakuri1201]

Can’t wait play and watch your stream when I get off work tomorrow!!

[@charlieriste]

So excited!!!! Thanks for teaching me so much already, can’t wait to jump in tomorrow

[@mightyowl1800]

Can't believe 1.0 is finally (almost) here!! What a journey, every save that had to be restarted was WORTH IT!!

[@elenas8295]

So excited for tomorrow!!!

[@tin112]

i put 60 hours into the early access and still learned a few things from your video, so thanks for sharing! im soooo excited for 1.0!

[@provitusmaximus2270]

been holding to play in 1.0 since i bought the EA, your info and tips will help me a lot !! 👌

[@bibs1310]

12 hours to go. i'm so excited!

[@ccgothmammy]

This is actually so helpful and your voice is so nice! Loved this, thank you! I've been running round as I'm a good bit in now wondering "I need a kitchen now" or "I need chickens" but I still have a lot of outstanding quests. I love this game so much. Thanks again!

[@OrganizationZero1]

I've played 300 hours, but still enjoyed watching this while waiting for 1.0 ^^

[@claudiapieters2443]

I played for 6hours before watching this video and I’m very glad that I did :D It took me 4 hours of gameplay to figure out what to do with all those mysterious clover spots, hahah! Renaming the chests is such a headache saver, I didn’t notice this was an option. Changing the game time speed will be a game changer while doing the cavern and cleaning the sea, thanks for the tip!

[@phariefire1480]

I am so happy we are finally at official release. Even though I've been playing since alpha and have restarted....oh so many times, I'm excited to play tomorrow & continue my Coral Island journey. Have fun everyone!

[@wyntermonique]

Y’all omg I am new to gaming and panic every time I start a new game

[@Ladyblanche85]

Thank you Sarah! I've been looking for 1.0 starter tips for a couple days now, but didn't find anything too useful yet. Until your video here. As stated before, I have just discovered the game recently. Most of the mentioned tips are things that I have found out myself by now, but I still learned something useful from this video for my own start in about 4 hours (e.g. switching combat mode settings to avoid unwanted conflicts with the cave creatures).

[@RueDeer]

Thank you so much! You are an angel. 😭 I am so overwhelmed with all of the things in the game. I didnt know what where when. This really helped me a lot. ❤

[@fahfiibcc]

there are so many useful tips here. I really like your voice and your video! I noticed the efforts you put into this (love the timestamps though)

[@blueskiesonly]

Sarah I’m so excited ❤

[@divinerydia8765]

Can't wait, thanks about the lucky clover didn't know what they were

[@Joinpufferfish]

Hi Sarah! Truly amazing seeing all these videos! thank you so much

[@saucydorito5206]

didn't know anything about this game until the 1.0 update and almost quit immediately because of the size of the map, the 24 hour clock, and the super fast days but one watch of this video helped me with all of those so tysm!!

[@arasorima3059]

Thank you so much!!!! I just started playing and I stopped it for a while since I was lost on what to do. This is very helpful!

[@rachelsmith3168]

Thanks for the tip about adjusting the speed of the game! Very helpful

[@CatWatchPaws]

I had no idea about the Control button toggle for planting so Thanks, I'll try it first thing.

[@shinixb.6500]

Thanks for this :D Great work as always!

[@Bizin_n]

Tomorrow is the day!!!

[@ZephyrRainbow]

So excited to finally dig into 1.0! Thank you Sarah for all the time and energy you have put into Coral Island. I have been following you since your first videos and podcast, and I am so excited for your channel continue to grow! You're amazing, keep up the amazing work!

[@lawrencep.b.1971]

A tip I have is just an alternate method of play for more intermediate players who are restarting - when your stamina bar is super low because your skills are at level 1, setting the game time to 100% is really helpful so it doesn't feel like you're constantly running out of energy. I'll use up my stamina bar in 15 mins, spend some time foraging and chatting, then go to bed. It's also convenient to push through the seasons so you can access new foragables and critters!

[@sleepymossqueen]

I started this game recently and started getting bored because I felt everything was moving too slowly, bur this video really helped me get more into it. Thank you!

[@SailorDonut]

I discovered last night that if you do New Game+, your settings from the original save file carry over. I had set my time to 60% during early access and that carried over, as did my sprint/jog preferences. So that's helpful!

[@cyberfrogs4269]

Love you Sarah thank you for al that you do!

[@tillym123456789]

I remember playing the alpha, played as much as I could back then and then got busy with kids etc. now it’s completed and I just jumped in again and WOW the difference is beautiful! I cried when I met the one girl with stretch marks 😅

[@JMSCollegeFun]

So excited!!! 7 hrs 58 mins till it drops!!!

[@heatherbereczky6344]

I will def have this video playing in the background while I play coral island! So much good information!

[@sierramikain6671]

Thank you for taking the time to make this! I just happened to come across this while perusing the PS Store and was like "oh another Stardew Valley type game", which I loved! It's like they took SV as a base, but added a lot of useful features (slowing length of day, customizable buttons, etc.) I only got this yesterday but can't wait to get back to it after work today and using some of your great tips!

[@Ann_niana]

@@sierramikain6671 both stardew valley and Coral Island took inspiration from Harvest Moon

[@selphia9109]

Thank you for this!! Been a way for quite a while! But always watch the replays❤️so excited for the 1.0 release!!! Much love to you!!! ❤

[@andraiamatrixxx6139]

Wish I saw this video before finishing the first year in game, thank you for the information!!

[@TheCephalon]

I love the art style. It looks so crisp and refined. This is what I wish portia and stardew valley looked like

[@Kairiheartz]

I like the say thank you for this video, I am enjoying this game and these tips helped me a lot. The setting tips was so awesome. Thank You

[@Hugh.G.Rectionx]

i just discovered this game today and i think im going to enjoy it for a while. thanks for the tips youve earned a sub

[@NottProductions]

Great video. Been waiting for 1.0 update since early access dropped. And now I can start it more efficiently. Good stuff.

[@NottProductions]

Can't wait for multi-player!

[@carrie9401]

Thank you for the tips! So many things I forgot about the early days. This will be helpful for the restart.

[@StarryThey-os]

Just spent the past hour liquidating my farm so now I'll be starting my new game plus farm with almost a million gold. So excited for the fresh start without having to worry about the limit of money. Though I definitely want to do a fully fresh start as well.

[@diamondly6250]

what do you mean liquidating? if you restarting why dose it matter?

[@StarryThey-os]

@@diamondly6250 I mean I sold everything on my farm for gold. When the 1.0 update hit if you had a previous save file you could restart the game with the gold you had on that file. Since I'd be losing the file anyway, I sold everything to start over with as much gold as possible. I hope that answers your question!

[@misshelenjune6977]

I can't believe it's nearly here! ❤ I discovered Coral Island through your channel, and I've been playing Early Access for nearly a year, and there were still some tips here I didn't know about 😅 Thank you for all the support you've shown this game ❤

[@Augustaguy2010]

To comment on the scarecrow part of the video, Ben (who lives in the van in the woods) often sells them at his shop. I also want to say that the crows only trigger if your plots exceed a certain threshold, so if you have a small plot of crops, I believe you are safe. But I recommend buying a scarecrow from Ben. It's the same as the one you can craft and is available by day 6 or 7.

[@onyaenaturals]

I loved the settings tip of time - super helpful, thank you

[@NeptunePirate]

Just came across your content and absolutely love it! Great tips and video!

[@JennBOnline]

Perfect video for CI 1.0 eve very helpful thank you, Sarah

[@NuminousButterfly]

I got coral island when it first came out and played for a short while. But now that it has gotten so many updates and new features I'm excited to start fresh and really enjoy the game. Loved this video and thank you for all the tips. I'll be checking out all the others too. 🥰

[@djmckay4869]

I'm so excited to get back into the game tomorrow. Counting the hours until launch. Thanks for all these wonderful tips. I learned a few things I didn't know. Awesome!

[@ShortySensei]

Today is the day! 🎉🎉🎉 Looking forward to your videos even more if that's even possible. We've all been waiting so long for this.

[@mastermard]

Also, Mark is my favorite. can't wait to play 1.0.

[@cosygracegames]

We love the coral island queen! Thank you so much for all these tips, they’re gonna be awesome when playing 1.0, 😘🎉

[@destinyalexis5050]

Love these tips!! Cannot wait to play and get in coral island 1.0!!

[@jenniferstockstill233]

I just started playing and these are really useful. Thank you so much!!!

[@ateana_lenn]

From the pov of someone who's already played 90h (but a whiiiile back), the ctrl/move parallel for planting is the best!!!

[@jordanthequeen]

Thanks! Starting playing today on my Ps5

[@ztarbuck]

Your voice is so soothing and comfy uwu Thanks for the tips and trick! Really useful😊

[@FB88_NL]

I bought the game today and found your video. Thanks for the awesome tips and lovely voice to listen to!

[@ChristopherAngeles]

Oh man there are so many good tips in this video. thank YOU!

[@DashMWR]

When I saw the new update come out, i couldnt wait to watch your vids!

[@cedargrovefarmgoats]

Even though I've been playing this game for a while, I learn so much from your videos!

[@ia8789]

Loved it!

[@itsmariaa18]

It's 5am right feeling very sick with flu and pain and this vid was one of the things that helped take my mind off it. So informative, I didn't play the early access before bc I wanted to wait for release, I can't wait to test out this game and have access to so many features. I'm most excited about it being like stardew but with diving too!❤

[@rpederse]

Thank you for explaining the no-combat option!

[@sakuraa1770]

Thanks for the settings recommendations! I never knew those were a thing!

[@matheusjose3060]

dang, i'm getting into this game and i was just looking for some tips XD love ur voice

[@xcrazybear2610]

oh wow! so much info, so much to remember, thank you!

[@despairwolf]

I did not know about the strafing or renaming chests! Thanks for the tips!😊

[@rachaelo86]

I have been so addicted to this game lately! ❤ it's so much fun! Thank you for the tips! 😊

[@davehollis7452]

Just got the game ( steam winter sale), 2nd winter. My favourite thing i have just discovered is you can vault the fences by pressing space

[@FayeBDragon]

We loved watching Miss Sunstone vaulting the fences. She gave away her gates so she could just jump!

[@Luninareph]

I won't be playing until it comes out for Switch, but I really look forward to seeing if you have new tips when that release occurs. Thanks for this video! :)

[@jeannielopez4144]

So helpful!! Love all your videos.

[@opalharmony]

Awesome tips!!!!

[@Matthew0707]

Thank you so much for your videos you’ve been a huge help for my game play

[@sophiezaldivar]

I’m so excited to start playing this game!!! Thanks so much for these awesome tips

[@lsmill4754]

This was so helpful!! Thank you!

[@100chocobo]

This video was so helpful and easy to understand, and I'm really enjoying my time with this game 😊

[@cherryalex]

thank you sarah for so many wonderful tips! and if i may add a tip to this, (i dont think you mentioned it) is the global chest feature and how you can untick it on the chests that you dont want your crafting/cooking to use. Happy playing everyone!

[@ambular8455]

Thank you for your helpful videos. I was finding the game to be overwhelming for me at first.

[@ramiccaaa]

will play this until morning. no sleep for me cos it will release here in my time at around 11pm later ahhh

[@CelticSparrows]

I started this yesterday and love it!!

[@shaneblair]

this was a great video. I recently heard about the game and I can't wait to play it.

[@galaxy_mew]

As someone’s who’s screwed up a ton (console issues and not having played the game before 1.0) I appreciate this. I’m almost in winter and at rank E for town (damn you cloud gaming donation bug)

[@Unhinged_Chimera]

You sold me on the fact i can control whether or not combat is started. I have been iffy on buying this game because.. meh combat

[@augustorighetti]

Super helpful!! ❤ Thank you!

[@XaurianQueen]

Im not sure if you can restart more than one save, i think one of your vids said so but that seems extra generous of the devs XD anyway, i have one farm with 3mil and one with 1mil, we'll see what happens. I work tomorrow but im getting up early to play!!!

[@nadiaferdilla1697]

It's so helpful ! I'll restart a new game cuz I don't wanna waste a thing haha. thank you so much

[@Switchgal]

Can’t wait to buy this game!

[@nivri25]

thanks so much for this! Alot of features i didn’t know about 😅 About to finish my 1st year, love this amazing game 😇

[@jeanc2589]

Hello Sarah! Thank you for the video I just feel you are an amazing person! I’m new to this game so let’s see!

[@stevenfenner7345]

Awesome video once again thank you soooo much 😃
