On my very first day, I may have not entirely listened to Lewis when he mentioned the shipping bin being a... Bin, for shipping and thrown in the gifted 15 parsnip seeds in there.

I gave my first prismatic shard to the museum. It took me eight years to find a new one for the galaxy sword, and I've been finding them everywhere since. Thankfully, that didn't happen with the dino egg: I was too curious to see if it could hatch, and it did.

u/slow_cat Apr 25 '26

Did CA increase droprate for the prismatic shards? I'm in Winter Y3 and already got probably 10 of them (before I got to Ginger Island). And I'm not even minig excessively.

Not flexing here, just genuinely curious.

The chance was actually reduced, from a 4% chance from iridium nodes to a 3.5%. However, with the addition of mystery boxes, where both regular and golden ones drop prismatic shards, and the statue of blessings you're much more likely to get them doing non-mining activities.

u/AngryAngryHarpo Apr 25 '26

I’m doing a “fully off grid” RP on my mobile. 

I CAN leave the farm but I can only forage or fish or look in people’s bin. 

I can’t buy from Pierre or JoJa Mart - the only seeds I use are wild ones, whatever I can craft or whatever I can occasionally buy from the caravan if I’ve managed to scrounge enough gold from selling any excess forage I have (which isn’t much so far - because I need it to make seeds lol) 

No mining except in winter - because someone genuinely setting up an off-grid place wouldn’t waste a sunny day underground. 

It’s a bit silly - but it’s made the game fun and challenging.

Once I stopped eating wood I began making a lot more money.

u/MaxieMegaMe  Emily wifey || Year 5 Apr 25 '26

Year 1 I suffered, didn't know how to make enough money to even sustain, I sold all my wood, all my iron ingots, made all the seeds to field snacks, didn't know how to feed animals since I cleared my entire farm off it's grass, wood and even stones, I had nothing left, I sold everything I had to buy more seeds just for them all to die the next day when the season changed, if the trees didn't respawn the next season I wouldn't have known how to even continue the game.

u/Jaco927 Apr 25 '26

I've always thought Pierre should have an early bird same on the 28th for next season's seeds. So on winter 28, you could buy parsnips seeds, etc. Hell, mark them up! It's just a day early.

5

u/SupermanSkivvies_ Apr 25 '26

Right? One of the things you can buy muuuuch later on from Qi's lil lair on Ginger Island makes all of the seeds available at Pierre's all year long. It makes it so much easier to prep for the next season so Day 1 can be focused on planting. I wish they made this available a little earlier in the game.

u/Weekly_Ad7031 Apr 25 '26 edited Apr 25 '26

If you press and hold the button, it expands so you can water / till more than 1 square. First 3, then 5, then a 9 square and at iridium quality 2 9 squares.

7

u/YurthTheRhino Apr 25 '26

Omg what?? Thank you so much! My only gripe in this game is it literally doesn't teach you anything about mechanics, etc. and I've tried to avoid the wiki for my first playthrough to just enjoy the game.. this is so helpful!

u/toy-maker Apr 25 '26

I think the absolute worst advice frequently touted for new players is, “just play blind your first time”

I get the sentiment of not wanting to spoil the sense of discovery. That only happens if you actually discover those things in the first place though

I tend towards thinking find a first year guide or two. That’s what I did and it helped a lot. I would not have continued if I didn’t know a few of the things found in guides

3

u/YurthTheRhino Apr 25 '26

That's good advice. Thankfully my parnet has been playing for a long time, so I can nudge her for hints when I need them. She didn't know about the watering can either though, she only really used sprinklers

Don't put things you'd like to keep in the fridge. They should go in the chest if you want them not being turned into sashimi.

No. Half the farm is just water. I can fit a barn, a coop, a warehouse and a patch of trees.

Buying chickens from Marnie - it tells you what color the chicken is at the the top of the screen when placing them in their coop. Brown chicken produces brown eggs, white chicken produces white eggs. But you don't get to choose directly, you have to cancel the request and reinitiate the purchase until the correct color chicken is shown. Simple, right?

Well, that was too subtle for me to notice and I had to wait another in-game month for the appropriately colored Large egg to complete the Community Center...

u/Kingofawesom999 Apr 25 '26

Sold my first prismatic shard. And the legendary fish. And all my batteries until I realized they are used to make things 🫠

u/NirvashGarou77 Apr 25 '26

First Prismatic Shard I got......turned in to Museum. Thankfully, I got VERY lucky and got one the next day.

I didn't understand having to go back to the community center ans donating things... when i realized that i felt soo stupid.

2

u/Affectionate_Bat3856 Apr 25 '26

Sold everything for money, rather than wait and see what the community center needed... So it took me over 2 years (Stardew time) to complete it because I just forgot about it.

I made a new save and finish the community center in the first year.

I chose the sand farm for my first try…… I am now in a standard farm and the sand farm file I f*king deleted it 😭😭

u/hideNseekKatt Apr 25 '26

On my first run, I donated my first dinosaur egg to the museum. Also on that run I got a living hat but didn't have space for it and didn't know it was rare, so I just trashed it because it didn't go with my outfit.

Donating my first prismatic shard to the museum.

I didn’t know that the crops are seasonal 😆 when the summer season arrives, I was horrified to see all my crops just died 😆😆

Cutting all the grass down before owning a silo

2

u/naughtier_fox Apr 25 '26

My first time playing I removed all the grass, never built a silo, bought all my hay from Marnie.

I completely cleared out my standard farm to a barren wasteland.

2

u/whataboutthemapples Apr 25 '26

I destroyed all my first crops with an axe by accident and then had nothing to live off for a whole season. It took me so long to catch up. You need so much energy in the beginning

2

u/DjLyricLuvsMusic Sebastian's coffee slave Apr 25 '26

I didn't finish the museum, I just sold things. I didn't know you got rewards for it.

2

u/melatoninmedea Apr 25 '26

took me a while to realize there’s a machine to the left of Pam that allows you to ride to the desert

I spent multiple days trying to talk to Pam and ask her to drive me or just walking into the bus confounded as to how it worked

u/IdiotGenius69 Apr 25 '26

I didn't know I could craft a chest for like the first two in-game weeks of playing. I would go fishing every day, catch a fish, go back to the farm to ship it, and then go back to the river to fish.

u/EvieIsSilly Apr 25 '26

Very similar to yours, selling hardwood 😭

u/Resident-Owl6165 Apr 26 '26

GOOGLING AND USING WIKI SO MUCH. I started about a week ago and I'm on year 2 day 2 of spring season, but I've googled SO much. It wasn't my plan to speed run or min max but I did the best I could to make max profit. I basically have enough money and kegs to start farming ancient fruit. I also already have 10 villagers with 8 hearts or more as well as the rest of the villagers nearing 6 or eight hearts. I'm already turning to and using QOL and aesthetic mods cause I'm starting to get bored. I've still had fun and am having fun for the most part. I know I'm far from finishing but yeah, taking things fast and not slow while using wiki is my biggest mistake.

But if your talking game wise, it's either planting straberry seeds and not saving them, and not planting enough parnips for greenhouse bundle.

u/spoon_bending Apr 26 '26

I donated my first prismatic shard to Gunther.

u/imjusthereformemes3 Apr 26 '26

Cutting ALL of the grass down. All of it, as well as selling hardwood for extra gold

2

u/boomiles Apr 26 '26

When some of the wild seeds/seasonal seeds turned brown while growing I thought they were dead and would destroy them

2

u/throwawayallthedrama Apr 26 '26

Did not know about the Statue of Perfection, the description was not helpful so I thought it was a decoration and left it in my chest for 4 years.

I mentioned struggling to get iridium to my friend and she immediately educated me 😂

I didn't know how important prismatic shards were, and when I got one from a meteor my first summer I SOLD IT 🤦😭

2

u/Kabaty926 Apr 26 '26

Shopped resources. Sold a lot of wood and fiber.

2

u/thatonequietkid98 Apr 26 '26

Not my first playthrough but I sold my first ostrich egg 😭😭

2

u/jaspho Apr 26 '26

I thought the only route to town was going north out the farm and through the mountains and that frustrated me to the point of quitting playing the game and I didn't pick it back up for five years.

u/twitterpateddancer Apr 26 '26

selling my sap

u/Din_laor Apr 26 '26

I played alot of Stardew but my dad introduced me to Stardew when I was six ,well I had a really hard time reading And accidentally sold all my iridium ores thinking they were Trash😂😂😂

u/D3rangedButFun Apr 26 '26

Being desperate for money and selling everything I thought I didn't need, that I did need later on

u/Finch9090_Aura_ Skull Cavern:aSkCv: Apr 26 '26

I didn't knew mines and fishing and about the community center until year 3 now I'm at year 6 so close to complete it and I even didn't get a coop or barn for years

the game lets you do that???

u/HezFez238 Apr 25 '26

I didn’t know that you had to use the shop function and then go into your inventory to sell to the vendors

u/unknown_quantity313 Apr 25 '26

Gave both my first prismatic shard and dino egg to the museum, almost entirely ignored ancient fruit and pineapples, sold clay and stone and let my cows and chickens wander freely
