What NOT to Do As a Beginner In Coral Island

[@annieshavingthoughtsagain]

Great tips. I knew about the hang onto wild seeds thing for winter and I was so glad that I did.

[@BodinTheGreatGaming]

Yeah that one is an absolute must! Hope they were helpful 😁

[@BuffCheeks80085]

I've been hoarding them, almost to the Tree Planting Festival in 1st year spring. Glad it's not for nothing 😅

[@GoblinSlayerZach]

I ignored these type of videos and made it to Winter blind, but now I’m ready to start over and have a more constructive run. So I’m finally watching one or two vids, this one had some tips that I was hoping to hear. Mostly because I missed a seasonal crop in my offering and it bothered me lol. Pretty fun game, I dunno who to marry tho :/

[@BodinTheGreatGaming]

Glad some of the tips helped! I know the feeling! I'm torn between Alice, Nina, & Yuri myself 😂

[@josephw4511]

Good video! For seeing the time left on crops, on Ps5 you have have your hoe out and hold down the x button. Not sure what the equivalent button is on Xbox.

[@BodinTheGreatGaming]

Perfect! Thanks for that!

[@GoblinSlayerZach]

Christ I had to re-find this vid to see this comment. I thought I’d remember or figure it out lol

[@onyaenaturals]

Thank you for sharing this tip!

[@bowesa1095]

Really love the advice at the end of the video! As someone who is meticulous about getting everything right, it's easy to forget to just have fun. Great video!

[@BodinTheGreatGaming]

Thanks! ☺

[@agusleon12]

my guy, i didnt know about the way to see the time of the crops!!! thanks

[@BodinTheGreatGaming]

No problem! Glad I could help 😁

[@seeess925]

No need to apologize for controller button. Just say the PC control and it can be translated easily.

[@divergentlife493]

Yes.

[@aseroxd]

Have fun and don't stress yourself out.. BUT DON'T FORGET TO UNLOCK STUFF AS FAST AS POSSIBLE!?

[@wolflover306]

My anxiety cannot handle that! I'll just: If I miss it, I miss it. It's not like I die ingame after the second year in the game 😂 Unless... 👁👄👁 But I hope not. I need a relaxing farming sim

[@aseroxd]

@@wolflover306 Same. I'll unlock things when I feel like it. Was just poking a bit of fun since all these tips videos offers the same contradictory advice.

[@joshuacr]

I could be wrong but a certain Gruff Smiles member actually *likes* mushrooms. (And they were foolish to bet against you in your induction ceremony time!) [But yeah *everybody* eventually get Pink Diamonds!]

[@BodinTheGreatGaming]

Jimbo loves em!

[@jordanleon4881]

WHAT ARE U DOING TO THAT BULL?!?!?!

[@BodinTheGreatGaming]

You’ll have to wait and see! 😉😂

[@humbledzealot6552]

What game is better? Coral Island or Srardew Valley?

[@BodinTheGreatGaming]

Hmm… As much as I love Coral Island, it’s hard for me to recommend it at this point bc of the bugginess and lack of finished content in the game. That said, coral island has a lot of cool features that SDV doesn’t have like diving which is really fun. If you’ve never played either, I’d start with SDV then by the time you’ve played that maybe coral island will be a bit better off.

[@jeremysato8568]

Be that this game looks like an exact rip off of stardew valley. I’d say stardew valley

[@putrilarasati7670]

@@jeremysato8568but sdv also a rip off to the og harvest moon (now "story of seasons" because of the rights issue)

[@Hugh.G.Rectionx]

i personally think Coral Island is better but it is a very new game in comparison so there are some bugs but more potential

[@23skiddsy6]

​@@jeremysato8568This genre of game has been around much much longer than Stardew Valley. Stardew draws heavily from Harvest Moon (Now called Story of Seasons) and it's fantasy counterpart Rune Factory.

[@sierra689]

what happens if i did donate my pink diamond/gift it??

[@BodinTheGreatGaming]

You can get another one eventually, pink diamonds are universally loved so it’s good to get townies to like you.

[@divergentlife493]

Thumbs down! Says don't play at full game speed. This is completely optional so you should not be telling users not to play at full speed. Especially when it is generally better to not mess with the game speed. In general, you should be playing at 100% game speed. Otherwise, it will have a bad effect on the flow of the game. You will end up wondering why you always run out of stamina early on when your day is twice as long. This is a bad idea especially for beginners. You can complete everything the game gives you to do each day at full speed. It's fine if you want to choose to change the game speed as your option. But do not listen to YT vids telling users what to do especially if the info is dead wrong. And again no you do not want to be "gunning" for sprinklers. It's not something even to worry about. Especially if you haven't even gone underwater. Foraging is natural for leveling up because it raises along with cleaning up your farm. This will unlock the candy recipe that can be helpful for stamina. Don't worry about leveling up farming - just do normal farming, and it will level up. And you will eventually get what you need for sprinklers. There is no reason to be "gunning" this.

[@BodinTheGreatGaming]

That's your opinion and that's okay, but if someone who's a beginner is getting overwhelmed then it's okay for them to reduce the speed of the game so they can get their feet under them. Like I mentioned in the video, you can always change it back to full game speed. Telling beginners who are here to find tips to not worry about leveling up farming or foraging when it unlocks crucial things isn't helpful.

[@PsilentThunderer]

So question if I can.... how do you clear a patch you have made a garden in? Can you turn it back into basic soil with no patches to plant? And how do you plant trees? Really liked your video. Thanks.

[@BodinTheGreatGaming]

You can just use your pickaxe on tilled soil to turn it back to regular soil. For trees, you just plant the seed you that they drop. You don't have to till the soil with your hoe to plant tree seeds, nor do you have to water the tree seed! Glad you liked it! Please let me know if you have any other questions!

[@Latvijas_Amēlija]

How long does the game go on? Is there a time limit on the seasons and years? Or can you just play the same character casually and not worry about end game?​@@BodinTheGreatGaming

[@BodinTheGreatGaming]

@@Latvijas_Amēlija Honestly your game can go on indefinitely. There's no end of the game or limit so can play for as long as you want.
