There's one more tip to fuck over Higgins... . Once you've selected your desired commission, you can still "browse" the others, opening them and looking them over, though you can't accept any of them. Open the one with the MOST Rep points on the board, and keep it open until Higgins picks one of the remaining jobs. He can't pick whichever one you've got open at the time, even if you've already taken one yourself. So you can screw him out of a lot of Rep points doing this. Especially if you get a really good commission and can block another good one while the rest are kinda trash.
I just got this game on the switch. I never thought to touch game speed. It is on console by now. Thank yoy for starting with that and pointing it out.
The Dee Dee mission now triggers after the quest “The cave on Amber Island”. If you still want to get the achievement make sure you finish this mission on a Friday so Saturday you can get the missions to build the dee dees with out Higgins grabbing them.
I did all this by accident on my first save. I'm so proud. It was actually on Saturday, because on Sunday the missions were available. I realized I needed 5 deedees, but I had material lying around because I was too busy giving gifts to try and sell my stuff.
Yeah the timing of the days can be a bit difficult to get used to as well as all the stuff they give you to do, but a couple seasons in and it'll be second nature to you! Have fun!
@Nick Woodworth oh yeah it's definitely a big contender in the life sim category for me, it seems that Indie devs are crushing it in this genre nowadays and not spamming players with DLC for it, it's awesome!
I just got this game on sale and I am so surprised the amount of stuff you can do in the game and how much to it! Thank you for these tips! oh and I couldn't stop staring at the cats.
Iron wood was also boggling for me, but the game speed thing, well game changing!! Nobody else mentioned this before! I wish you guys had more videos on this game,you answer all the questions I didnt even know I had! Thank you :) Just day to day game play of this game would be great content for you, just discovered you today only didnt watch 2 of the videos since I'm only half way through Autumn of my first year ever! I'll be back for those others though!
We are sure glad to have you join our channel fam Brittany! Glad we could help out, we have been thinking of doing more videos for this but we actually had lost all our data and game when our HDD died on us. We didn't any views for Portia tho, so we may go back and give it another go sometime soon 😸
I'm glad I wasn't the only one afraid to cut up the stumps too! and when I passed out for the first time staying up too late I was so afraid I was going to wake up to half of my hard earned stuff was gone! so glad it's not like that, it stresses me out. Great video, didn't know about the speed setting, so helpful. I love that y'all advocate for adopting and helping shelter cats! I am determined to get pinky to be my friend in game lol
you can get Early Cash with Data Discs and buy Engines at Research Center and Planters at Temple and resell them Data Discs also sell for good Cash ..... Buy 10 Apple Trees ASAP because Aroma Apples are not only a Unlimited Source of Stamina later on (dried Apple Slices ) Aroma Apples are also loved by MANY NPCS and they sell for good Cash as well you can also get King Apples for the Harvest Competition
Picked it up on PS4 last week. Like Stardew Valley, I can't put this game down. I am a trophy hunter, so very grateful you mentioned completing that project prior to the bridge. I was getting ready to lay the bridge tonight when I got home. I would have hated to miss out and have to start over.
Yeah that's why I mentioned it because I missed it the first time and had to do exactly that lol. It's a great game and they're supporting it well, great to see these Kickstarter projects do well
Thank you so much Schwoops! That certainly means alot to us. If you're ever in the market for a chill, harvest moon style game, this one is definitely a keeper
On fridays I take a large commition. More time to make them. Best soarce for Ironwood the green cactus in the desert but only unavailable after the bridge was built.
Photo of Portia Quest: If you can't seem to get the achievement/check mark for the exterior or printing press photos the way to do this is to press Z and it will show you the green check mark when you have the right shoot.
Also sonia is important free recipe for blender get her to 1 heart when you have all your other tools. Also don't forget to kick trees before you chop em
A good way to make money is once you have access to the Collapsed Wasteland AND can make the level 2 fishing rod there is a fishing spot right below the sewage plant. It's near where you find Scraps. There are Catfish (pass), Bladefish (good for making Dried Bladefish) and Wisefish. Wisefish sell for a ton and if you have a level 2 rod you don't have to stop reeling as long as you keep the circle on the fish. If you do this you NEED the Fish Encyclopedia perk. That will show you what fish is biting on your line. Emperors appear often and VERY rarely you will find kings. Kings look like the usual fish in the identifier with a very slight color difference. For example the Catfish is red instead of orange. I made enough in 5 days to get my workbench maxed out, level 2 house, level 2 Assembly Station and 4 land expansions. I haven't even gone to get Ack yet.
Will you be making any future video content about My time in Portia? I just saw your video after picking up the game on sale. I love the flow of your video and well since I'm so new, I dont have a clue what to do in the beginning. (or what to do during the day) There is so much to do, so many directions, its hard to commit to a daily routine. I think it would be neat to break down videos into parts. For example, friendships, fishing, calendar events ... ect. I hope you see this and consider uploading more videos!
Haha well welcome to our little corner of the tube! We do a bit of variety and bring our actual IRL kitties into any content we can as well, so if you like Cats, we will do our best to at least bring you some smiles and kitties 😸
Thank you so much for this tips video. I have played 80+ hours and still don’t know I can use the work table to make wood from hardwood! I love how clear the gentleman cat speak ( English is my second language but I can totally understand what you say!) and I love the beautiful voice of lady cat. And yes I love cats, I have adopted one named Max😺 So glad I find your channel! You definitely make me smile 😊
What a coincidence! Im watching this video while bottle feeding my orphan kitten. Found her inside a tied plastic bag :( She's still 3 weeks old. Im hoping she could grow healthy. Anyway, thanks for the tips! I Just got into the game recently
5 TRANSPORTS! B4 THE BRIDGE! 🤦🏻♀️ You’re too high... Or I’m not high enuff haha I just now placed my last piece of bridge and was sooo excited cuz I need damn iron ore to do damn commission I’m stuck on. FML It’s only week 3. I may start over. I do that often.
I bought this game yesterday with some money that I got for my birthday and I'm a little bit nervous about dying and failing missions is it really that big of a deal?
@@KittyBitGames thanks Kitty bit I guess I just tend to expect too much of myself ;) I have some handicaps so when I can't do something I get even the more angrier.
Pro tip: never start the game and go instantly to the letterbox and claim all the DLC extra's. It will fill your inventory and you will have to restart the game... rofl.
Well Miss Riss if you're into pretty random, ad lib content with a dash of Cats in all things, you may be in the right place! We are sure glad to have ya :3
Personally I like to take it slow and squeeze as much into each day as I can, so for max effort per day I go for slowest speed. However if you're wanting to get through the seasons quickly then that faster speed can definitely be useful
Heya Bomber! Feel free to destroy the stumps, they are some of the better early sources of hardwood and they'll still respawn, it takes around 3 or 4 days for them to spring back up iirc. And yeah that wheat was a lil tricky xD
so your guy's tips and tricks are for Console (Switch) and PC (Windows Computer) and likely won't be applicable on a PS4 copy of the game....? cause I've never seen Game Speed on my setting on my ps4 copy.
Don't do the game speed thing. I did that on one of my early playthroughs, and it really screws up the game progression. Days become too long. And quests are pretty screwed. Play on default 100. Also, don't get this on console. I know it's a standard advice to always get PC version of there's a choice between all platforms. However, this was outsourced to a different dev for console port. And it's really different and screwed. Basically broken. And users have reported a hard time getting refund.
Well I have been playing this on Xbox (a year later lol) and they seemed to have fixed the bugs. I don't notice any significant issues and/or frame drops at all. There is a very rare instance of a delay when loading up the map to transport to the entrance of the mine. Nothing game breaking. It's free on the Xbox game pass and I'm enjoying the hell out of it so far!

Been playing this for the past 24 hours with 4 hours sleep, I have no self control help
Thanks for this! I’m a bit overwhelmed by this game. It’s been hard to get in the groove of it
Yeah the timing of the days can be a bit difficult to get used to as well as all the stuff they give you to do, but a couple seasons in and it'll be second nature to you! Have fun!
@Nick Woodworth oh yeah it's definitely a big contender in the life sim category for me, it seems that Indie devs are crushing it in this genre nowadays and not spamming players with DLC for it, it's awesome!

oh and I couldn't stop staring at the cats.
Wood and stone can be exchanged for one another at the store inside A&G construction. Easy way to offload stone and get free wood.
Iron wood was also boggling for me, but the game speed thing, well game changing!! Nobody else mentioned this before! I wish you guys had more videos on this game,you answer all the questions I didnt even know I had! Thank you :)

I can’t stop admiring how gorgeous the eyes on the cat are😂😂😂

Wish you had more or still did videos on portia. I just listen while I play and makes me feel like I have company. Your voice is so calming.
Enjoying the hell outta this game. Really feeds the hunting/gathering/organizing bug.
Picked it up on PS4 last week. Like Stardew Valley, I can't put this game down. I am a trophy hunter, so very grateful you mentioned completing that project prior to the bridge. I was getting ready to lay the bridge tonight when I got home. I would have hated to miss out and have to start over.

very helpful video, especially the tip on the stamina generating chair. game changer !! well done !
A very useful video but I'm not going to remember all this so I'll probably be back
Lol yeah it's alot to take in, the game has alot to remember. Glad we could help out tho!
Idk if it is new, i can't remember, but if you give gifts on holidays it doubles points from gifts. :)
GAME SPEED ?!?!?!?!
o m g ..... t h a n k u
It's definitely good for making the game more chill and lets you go at your own pace. Glad to help, have fun! 😸
Don’t have this game but still love watching your videos
Thank you so much Schwoops! That certainly means alot to us. If you're ever in the market for a chill, harvest moon style game, this one is definitely a keeper
I’m gonna take your word for it thanks
I just watched this video for 11 minutes before I noticed the cats were "talking." Lol
Lol no worries we actually get that a lot!
Thanks for watching that long tho, hope it helped out! 😸
I support the pettiness of stealing Higgins bars, screw Higgins 😂🤣
Thanks for this, i was never good at starting out games like this without previous knowledge. This really helped.
The blender thing is funny, they did that in Sandrock too.

In the switch’s settings I think

However if you're wanting to get through the seasons quickly then that faster speed can definitely be useful
There are various ways to play this game and various players who do. We all hate Higgins thou;).
Good video. However I recently played this game and I’m unable to grab more than 1 commission for the dee dee’s at a time...
