When I made the seasonal guides for Stardew Valley, I got quite a lot of comments saying how much info there is to take in. To cater to the folks that find themselves getting lost, here’s a much more streamlined, trimmed down guide for completing all of the bundles in Year 1!
Here’s the checklist image: https://twitter.com/Salmence100/status/1426383871491420161
Sections:
0:00 – Intro

15:46 – Construction and Artisan
16:44 – Bulletin Board and Vault
17:50 – Outro

Can I play for 4 years than finish everything, Because it was really hard to get a coop now I'm on year 2 so can I take my time I didn't get all the plants I needed for the community center I might have to do it on year 2
Iโve been trying so hard to grind, but have just accepted the fact that Iโm not going to get everything I want done in the first year. Since ive done that, Iโve had so much more fun playing. These videos have helped me so much but I also wanna say for everyone that feels like me, itโs okay not to play perfectly!! Being stressed over a game that is supposed to be fun and peaceful makes you not wanna play anymore!! If you donโt get truffles this season thatโs okay!! If you donโt finish the greenhouse thatโs okay!! There is always another year. Definitly use these tips and try to aim to finish, but donโt beat yourself up for not โฅ๏ธ happy farming!!
me in year 1 still with no pigs, ignoring fishing til winter but with a lot of npc friends ๐ถ
Super in-depth while remaining very succinct, great video! I keep having to pour through the wiki every new save file but this is great thank you!
Keep a rainbow shell in the summer. I sold mine cause I was like "ooh shiny" and then waited a year for the qi quest
Google sheets for the checklist. Itโs online. You can share without allowing people to edit. They can make a copy and edit it as needed. ๐
Super helpful! Thanks to you, I completed the community center AND unlocked Ginger Island. Having the extra cash early on is a must. 2 hearts friendship with Caroline helped speed things along with the tea sapling recipe.
Totally late to the game, but thank you! Your guides are so helpful!!
I never had to use a Crabpot to complete that bundle, the crabs of the mines always give me well… crabs.
Im in winter year 1..
Would be nice to know what we should save for villager requests and crabpot so we dont sell it ๐๐ผ
First you get the pumpkin. Then the pig. THEN the girl
WTF My farm's name is Lazuli Farm too!
Why is penny crossed out on this lol
i really wish you had put the words instead of the images in that checklist. it's hard to tell what fish each one is, and which tree sapling. i wish i could find this image in a list format.
Winter: โyou should have finished all of your farming bundlesโ
Me in fall currently: just got my first chicken because Iโve been focused of please all the townspeople my entire game and missed multiple bundles ๐
Im confused… is this for the community centre?
Whatโs the year 2 sturgeon event you hinted at? 6:22
I am binge watching all your guides, thanks for the content ๐
Im in year 3
I love that we can save 10k by using the cookout now instead of upgrading the house.
I got a coconut and a rabbits foot from the traveling cart. (I didnt complete the community center in my 1st year tho as this was my first ever run) im gonna start a new game and go through this checlist, very helpful โค
Iโm on year 4 and donโt even have a barn yet
Very helpful! Thanks ๐
I always hold mushroom cave as better because you can turn them into seeds and then into tea saplings which is one of the most profitable items in the game to sell
Also, for truffles, do not sell them until youโre level ten foraging. The gatherer profession will make every truffle iridium quality and worth more than 1k per truffle, plus the profession chosen before it can make you harvest double anyway. This is because they are counted as mushrooms, a forage item, rather than an animal product. This is more profitable than turning them into oils
I always think on Thursday
โoh i should check the Traveling Merchant, heโll be here soonโ
And then I blink twice and itโs Sunday ๐ญ
This was super helpful, thank you so much!
When are you doing spring year 2 perfectionist? I want to perfectionist before year 3
This is one of the best relaxing farming games I have ever tried. No matter how long, I always come back and play it.
I dont think I can do this but uh I downloaded the pic
Me watching this my second year and barely haven't done any of the things listed
Barn and coop by spring is extremely hard though. I wouldnt recommend. Youre better off holding off that by summer at the earliest.
You missed perch
My grind. This was a bit tense, not generally recommended, but fun:
(Forest Farm) ๐ฑ
I only grew crops for lvling farming to at least 2 for sprinklers, and for completing the bundle. I fish for money (ocean, catfish during rain at lvl 8) and Mine for sprinkler resources (only on best luck days). I do go to options and screenshot the room map and look at the picture to see what's on the Mine lvl I'm on, so I don't waste time on 0, 1 or 2 nodes in big rooms.(Repeat lvl 30&40, exit if no close ladder) I forage only what I run past, I don't waste time looking. Only bundle I have in mind at the start is the Boiler Room for the Mine Carts repair, but other stuff comes naturally. Though I do shift focus to the bundles if I lack anything half way through Spring. (Rain fish focus) I managed to end with 30'000 gold before summer. (I did buy 100 strawberry seeds for 2 harvests (no I did not have sprinklers ready for them….)) Fish gave me energy enough for allot of the mining I did, so I never upgraded my Tools in spring.(Herring low value per energy. NOM) Also placed 30 basic sprinklers early summer for mostly blueberries (Plant it at latest date 3rd) and bundle items + some fertilized melons and corn for quality bundle. I also got steel axe and pick eventually, though axe was most important.(Got fiberglass rod early spring tho) Wood gets scarce fast, and I also replanted trees in hopes for a potential mushroom tree,(I forgot that was a thing) but I'm still only half way into summer. Currently running low on coal. Getting over 100 ore from a run will tear into your supply.
Any advice is welcome to improve my run!
I think I like this better than the progression guides you made just because it gives all the info I need and I feel less directed
Is it okay if i do the checklist on year 2? i watched this video waaay too late, at fall 24, and as of writing this in on winter 1. ive got 28k money steel pick and axe. My farming level is 6, mining 5, foraging 6, fishing 0 (fishing sucks in mobile or i just suck, + plus i got a drink from the beach festival that gives +4 fishing) and combat 4. the proffesions are tiller, geologist and gatherer respectively.
Perfect! Thank you ๐
Oh nooo. I just started a run trying to fill all the bundles year one but I somehow missed your sentence about the setting thing for the red cabbage seeds. >.< 13h into it now. Well I guess I will do this as testrun and restart someday… ๐
Hey no big deal or anything, but at the end of the video when you asked if you forgot anything, uh you forgot the carp for the lake fishing bundle. Just thought I'd say something. Keep up the great videos ๐๐
this made me realize i basically slept throught year 1
You don't need the crabpot at all,, rock crab can drop crab easily which you can use as a final item for bundle while rest can be found at beach
Hahaha I did not do this
If you unlock the desert before the Thursday of summer pumpkins are better as you can but deluxe speedgro from Sandy
All of this, and the only thing i did on my first year is mining, fishing, and getting married
Just go joja route
I'm just on the last day of Fall and looking at this is making me wanna start all over ๐
Definitely recommend getting a silo before any animals maybe even before any buildings. Allows you to scythe some grass for more space and it is also wicked cheap.
