I'm on my 5th year and I've got a great farm going but I have a huge problem: early in the game, I dug out the dwarf scroll II and I just thought it was a duplicate of dwarf scroll I and sold it. In hundreds of hours of play, I still haven't been able to get another one. I've had dupes of other scrolls but not that one. Am I just screwed and need to totally restart? I don't know if I can face it :(
Just keep trying. Try on lucky days. Just go in the mines and blow stuff up.
I haven't thought of trying on lucky days. I've spent countless hours in the mines trying to get another one though lol.
Before sleeping every day, remove then add an item to your fridge and all of your chests. Problem solved. :)
I got it but I'm actually waiting for the patch before I really get sucked in.
Hope it is soon all I have heard is they are aware of all bugs and supposedly solved most and wait for Nintendo to publish it.
Oh that faster save on switch will be nice!
Has anyone beat JotPK? On lucky days the most I can get to is level 6, I wish it wasn't a trophy requirement.

I've waited for this game to come out on the Switch. I'm leisurely playing through my first year. Halfway through the first summer, I'm really enjoying it. The genre is right up my alley. It's definitely two steps up from Harvest Moon, but it is nowhere in the same ballpark as Rune Factory. The farming is very good, the mining good and feeling of accomplishment is definitely there. So far I don't really enjoy the social contacts, though. The characters are pretty standard and one-dimensional as far as I can see and the amount of conversation options is kind of scarce. But I'm more enjoying the good things than being annoyed by the less good things.
Awesome. It's one of those small things that I've been wondering about. I mean, there are other games that need to cram a lot of data that are significantly faster than Stardew.

I've spent considerable time transforming my farm, especially laying cobblestone paths. However, every day I wake up and find things growing over my paths, meaning I have to craft and place new cobblestone tiles.
Am I doing something wrong? Is there anything I can do to stop my paths being destroyed?

Keep grass and weeds away from that area, as they can spread, or you can build a fence around your crops/paths that you don't want to be overrun.
I only have two more items I need for the community center which I should be able to get this next season and I'm currently deciding on who to marry. What else do I need to accomplish to get
grandpa's approval?
What's the best fruit (i.e. most valuable) to turn into wine? Ancient fruit?
I can't speak to it in relation to HM, but general beginner tips:
- Put all your money into crops in the beginning; be mindful of how long crops take to grow as each season only has 28 days.
- Gather wood for the bridge on the south beach as the foraged items (Coral etc) are good for making money early on.
- Rain = free day. Generally I'll go to the mines or fish since I don't have to focus on crops. Just don't die in the mines.
- 2AM is a hard deadline for each day. Any later and you'll pass out and lose money/items.
- Play the game how you want. There is no endgame, so you can focus on relationships after you have a good income going (generally end of year 1.)
- Be mindful of which items you need for the Community Center. A lot of items are seasonal and if you miss certain things you'll need to wait until next year.
Theres a ton more tips but I'm tired lol.
The Stardew Valley Wiki is an indispensable resource. I only look up things I'm wondering about specifically to minimize spoilers.
This, I haven't found ancient fruit but my green house is 80% star fruit 20% other stuff. I'm thinking about letting my green house "clear out" so I can plant all/only my star fruit at the same time so they harvest at the same time.
What is the trick to stockpiling hay? At the beginning I cut all the grass on my farm and even planted and cut more grass, yet I've run out of hay for my four chickens and two cows. There doesn't seem to be nearly enough grass around to collect masses of hay.
I want to expand my livestock but if I can't feed what I've already got there doesn't seem much point. I'm dressing winter too.

Thanks, guess I'd best get crafting. I've been saving wood for a barn extension but fences seem necessary.
You won't loose any items if you are wake past 2a.m. You only loose items if you die. Be awake until 2 is a valid strategy sometimes on the mines or skull cave
Yeah, there's no reason not to unless you need cash faster. You can only those casks to age things, and everything gets a higher value when aged.
I've got a stockpile of 37 ancient fruit wines (waiting for free casts) burning a hole in my 8 bit pocket.
I have 6 silos currently.
I'll probably sell some and have a few ready for free casks. For me I really like pigs, I've bought two and birthed 4. They generate around 25000/day minus winter, and they are cute AF.
I knew grass spread after it is first planted but I didn't realise it kept growing after being cut. In future I'll leave some to re-grow each time I cut some for hay. Thanks for the tips.
I'm down to pigs ducks and a couple rabbits. Too much work I plan to sell the others minus a few ducks and the pigs.
Just started this up on Switch (literally just finished the first day), picked the default layout and called it Thunderbird Farm! I'm liking the detail in the portraits, where you can go in people's houses, and the general freedom from the get-go.
I'm going to be mainly exploring how to play as I go, but as a beginner tip, it seems like you're better off collecting the resources on your farm to be able to craft things like the chest rather than selling them, is that right?
I've been hankering to play Harvest Moon: Friends of Mineral Town on my GBA Micro for a while, but I think this will be a worthy replacement!

Cool name! Let's hear what everyone called their farm.
Mine is Parsnip Patch Farm. Simple, boring, but has a quaint childrens book vibe about it.
Whoa, I had no idea... Might be worth it to stay awake. So what, you just wake up the next day with less energy?
edit: I named my farm Pearson Farm, after my grandparents who passed away in quick succession last year, which prompted me to start playing this game on Steam. Helped me through those tough times. Still kinda hard for me, whenever the game mentions your Grandpa. Funny how it worked out that way. Start playing a game to help mourn the loss of your grandparents and the first thing the game does is show you a dying grandfather, haha... :,(
Ravensway, my goth barn, is looking forward to fall. Summer was fairly productive and profitable. Farming morn, sauna fer lunch, cave farm until sleepytime.
Energy and money. I think it's always 1000. Sometimes it's worth for one or two more hours of exploration.
Omg best farm name!!!
Please tell me you have one animal named Mose.
Mines KDDC Farm. Couldn't decide so I went for my families initials of their first names. Mum, Dad, myself and my Sister. :)
I've pretty much played SDV all weekend. I'm in Year 2, a few days from the end of summer.
Parsnip Patch Farm has come on leaps and bounds this season. My two cows are producing better milk and my goat has grown to also produce milk. Turning those into cheese and selling for a good income. My four chickens are producing eggs for mayo production.
I've expanded from two kegs to four and two preserves barrells to seven. I was harvesting so much that it seemed a waste to just sell it as it was. Wines, ales, beers, jellies and jams have increased my income massively. I've got a small orchard of trees giving me daily fruit.
I've reached level 75 in the mines on the rainy summer days and I'm collecting ores by the bucket load. As a result I've got a hefty pile of iron and copper bars and crafting is much easier.
Next step is to expand my coop and get ducks, get some sheep and pigs in my barn and marry Abigail now we've reached ten hearts. I'm going to keep venturing further and further into the mines and I need to get better at completing community centre bundles too. Eventually I'll expand my house but that seems a way off yet.

Small issue, i'm addicted to this game even though I don't have a bloody clue what to actually do. First season for me, towards the end. Bought the bag upgrade, bought a couple of plants rather than seeds and planted some seeds I was given/found. Explored the mines a little bit but not too much, is it advisable to try and ignore the mines for a bit as I don't really see the point now I have a shit ton of wood, rock, etc. but I feel like I need to focus on money, would it be worth just planting and growing for a bit?
If anyone can give me some general advice, would be nice. I don't really feel like I know any of the objectives of the game yet. It's addictive and weird because I don't really know what I am doing!
