Massive Stardew Valley Mistakes You Should Avoid

1 mistake we will never forget, You didn’t put a scarecrow down and that day he lost his red cabbage and Ancient fruit… “If it weren’t for those crows.”

My first time playing stardew, I wanted to avoid reading the wiki to have a more authentic experience because it made me nostalgic of my first days in minecraft. So without knowing what it was, I put all my parsnip seeds in the shipping bin thinking it was a chest.

one time I named my farm "farmy farm" and it made me giggle when npcs would say "farmy farm farm"

My dumbest mistake was shipping the 1 ostrich egg you get from the journal scrap on ginger island. It took me over 100 more hours of playtime to get another one from a chest in the volcano mines so i could finally get ostriches. Sebastian had to raise the kids alone that year....

The community center really drives the gameplay for me. There IS stuff to do after it’s completed, but for me personally my playthroughs always lose a little steam once it’s completed

*Don't sell everything you find. Me, a hoarder: smiles like the grinch

I has a fully upgraded coop when I found my first Dino egg. And I'm very curious. I chucked most of my artifacts in a chest because I was always too busy to go to the museum. One day, I decided to see the artifacts I had. I saw the egg, and I was like 'tf? Eggs? I wonder if u can incubate it?' Shane, my first spouse, gave me a void egg before this. (I didn't get the witch before so the egg was new to me.) And I tried incubating it since Shane gave it to me and he loves chickens. I was shocked when it worked. So I thought the Dino egg would do the same. I put it in the incubator since the Void chickens, David and Zane, gave me infinite void eggs for Krobus, my theory was the Dino egg would do the same. I asked all my friends that play Stardew what they did with it, and I was the only one not to donated it since they mainly married Sam or Penny so they told me they didn't get eggs from them.

Good idea is to build Silo as soon as possible. Its really cheap to make and you probably will get clay soon enough if you dig around a little. With silo all that grass you cut will not go waste and in winter you will not have to worry about feeding animals.

I think many people are missing the real point of the game, which is just enjoying. It's literally endless, it never ends and if you miss anything, your game will be longer but that's actually the point. It's better than finishing everything and getting tired of it really fast. Instead, try to enjoy it, find the spouse you like, mine and die, get beautiful crops, make some kids, and just don't rush it. Once you get tired of it, it's really hard to find that magical feeling of always having something to do.

Don't sleep on fishing! Many portions of the game is gated by tools, quests, or just time, when the game starts - you are never going to have as much time on your hands to get fishing as you will at the start - which is a great thing, because fishing is a very good way of getting money in your hands immediately, which will help you get your farm off the ground!

When I first played Stardew Valley I made the mistake of thinking it was like Harvest moon in which you could sow seasonal crops a day early so I was surprised when I planted the Rare Seed on Summer 28th only to see it missing on Fall 1st.

My biggest mistake, well so far, was on my first game I knew crops got destroyed when season change, so instead I spent the last days of spring setting up for summer. I hoed a really big field, set up everything with fertilizer and uninstalled the game when summer arrived.

Speaking of chests: Put a chest RIGHT OUTSIDE THE MINES!! That way you can go longer without buying a backpack and can save up for strawberries.

400+ hours in stardew. 50+ hours on my Riverland farm… and I’ve just realised you can chop down the bushes in the middle of the farm. Here I was, trying to design my farm around these random bushes 🤦🏻‍♀️

I just cleared some massive realastate on my farm by getting rid of all but four of the trees. I also put four hardwood and i did not remove any mushrooms and set up main zones for each so that way hardwood can take over one corner. And regular wood can take up another at some point. I am doing some huge planning haha.

Thank you for the video! That was really helpful and it was nice listening to you

Recently started playing with my wife.. she was the one in a billion that didn't know about the elevator in the mine and even yelled, "How the %@#$ did you get to floor 20?!" Then I showed her the elevator..😅 I put farm in the name of my farm and had to restart a few days in after seeing my farm was "farm farm". 🤦‍♂️

Marrying Haley is not a mistake, Great character development, cooks for me at least 2-3 times a week, Does farm tasks 1-2 times a week, Overall great wife 10/10

I did not know about the elevator in the mines, thank you so much!!!!!!!!

I had just gotten the dinosaur mayo for the community center, I take my horse and I start riding into town when I see pam walking up. I talk to her while on my horse, and then get off my horse to see if she has more dialogue for the day. I forgot I was still holding the dinosaur mayo and so I gift it to her and then scream. The worst part was that she didn't even love it, it's just a liked item for her. Restarting the day is life saving though
