STOP Starting Your Farms Wrong. Do THIS in 2026

Love your videos

I was thinking playing again but I haven't played for like 2 or 3 years so this guide is perfect thanks so much. Your videos are great 💯

You are one of my favorite Stardew creators! You have helped me so much and are helping keep the magic alive!! ❤❤❤ I will always watch these videos!

If you need a real test of patience – try to setup an ostrich farm (all fed with golden cracker) to weekly supply 1 big shed of mayo machines. Good luck.

Just started playing this months ago and now hopelessly addicted to perfection. My next run will (hopefully) be more cozy.

"Pick the mushroom cave" Loud incorrect buzzer noise Pick whichever cave you want but fruit is the better option, most fruit tree fruits are more valuable than the mushrooms especially because the Botanist profession effects the fruit cave items but not the mushrooms, the free dehydrator is a bonus but the only benefit it has is being faster than preserves jars and kegs as turning 5 mushrooms into 1 dried mushrooms is less profitable than pickling all 5, plus you'd need to factor in the money you save not buying fruit trees as in total getting 1 of every fruit tree costs 25,400g over double the price of the dehydrator recipe which is 10,000g (and even if you pick the mushroom cave you'll still need to buy the recipe anyway for perfection), fruits also make better gifts and the mushroom cave mandates collecting them every other day or else you lose profits while the fruit bat cave is completely hands off, if you really want mushrooms you're better off using mushroom logs

I'm going to lose my mind when Haunted Chocolatier comes out

Nah I'm just gonna go 1 space of each seed I can get with 1 space apart with no sprinkler and do that for 100 seeds first, then I'll figure the rest as I go.

Omg I can’t believe that there are STILL guides getting made on this game😮😮but I can really 😅I do hope though that once the next update is done that more gets put into getting haunted chocolatier finished🙏I do so loooove SDV but would like to move onto a new era

Ok guess I'll start a new file again

I'm embarrassed that I'm on my 7th farm and I'm still using guides for the community center 😅 PTSD from forgetting a single item in the past!

For those who experience burnout it's also important to remember that mods exist on most platforms and range from small tweaks and Quality of Life features (like more info in tooltips) to added crops and NPCs, new areas, all the way to expansions that add as much content as the base game. Some can be a little cheaty (both fruit and mushrooms in the cave or being able to access chests through the menu), but it's a single player game so do what you want. Point is if you like the gameplay but burnout on one aspect or just the year 2 repetition, there are a thousand ways to tweak the experience to your liking. Not to mention dozens of new farm types and expanded areas.

I disagree that mushroom cave is better , all those types of mushrooms can be found as a forage items all around valley , in the mines , or can be obtained through mushroom logs that isn't hard to craft . Meanwhile fruit cave can give you fruits from fruit trees so you don't have to plant expensive saplings , wait ton of time , or pay 1000+ g to traveling merchant to get one fruit of each kind that is required for community centre bundles . The only fruit tree that i would recommend to plant is apples since you need at least 4 apples to complete 2 bundles + there's a few bundles where you also could use apples as unnecessary option . Also I think that kilns are not worth it , getting 1 coal at the price of 10 wood is a waste of resources , who actually uses those kilns , i collect a lot of coal to trade it for mahogany seeds but even in this case i never used kilns .

Never managed to get into this game before but started playing just over a couple weeks ago n now im nearly year 3 n 68hours 😅. Glad I decided to give It a proper go!

Mushroom cave used to be my go-to choice, but the coming of mushroom log changed the game. I’ve always chosen the bat cave since then.

I just started last week and how many I restarted, I can’t count 😂

i feel like we should just let new players play how they want and experience it naturally instead of saying "you should do this"

Best tip save daffodils from the first season and gift to Haley to increase your friendship with her so you have a flower dance partner

Never pick the mushroom cave. The mushroom logs make it useless. The fruit bat cave guarantees that you will have everything you need for the community center without having to wait for expensive fruit trees to grow.

My personal best tip is download a mod that makes the days longer.

It makes everything so much enjoyable. For those who don't know, a single day takes around 14 minutes (14min, 20 sec).

Lets you stop and think.

A date bought me this game to play with her last month and left when I got too addicted and didn’t give her attention🤣

I'm new and picked everything wrong 🙁 I got more wood buff and then mushroom cave… I also picked the forest farm.. maybe I should restart😢

I would advise against picking the rancher skill, even on the meadowlands farm. The 40% from artisan goods at lvl 10 for the tiller is much better than the 20% from the animal products.
Turn your eggs into mayonnaise too, it only takes 3 hours for an egg to become mayo and you get the machine for it very early on as well.
