Fishing bait PSA - There is currently a glitch where all bait will disappear if you quit out of the game while it is equipped. Toss that bait into a chest before ending the game for the day.
my biggest mistake is forgetting about festivals because I think 'oh i'll just do this thing quickly before i attend the festival' and then i get distracted and suddenly the festival is over :') i think i missed two festivals like this in my first year
I think one of my biggest mistakes was trying to get everything done as fast as possible. I was starting to feel burned out and running out of things to do. Remembering there's no time limit and taking my time to just enjoy this beautiful game now.
I love this!! Thank you so much for sharing One of my favourite things about this game is how you really can take things at your own pace - I have to constantly remind myself, I'M the one putting the pressure on myself to complete things - not the game!!
That has always been my problem with these types of games ever since the Harvest Moon era... it's a game genre to RELAX and enjoy your time, and even so if I didn't do 58454 things a day, I feel like wasting progress, and that takes my relaxation away... I'm just now trying my best to just not rush things, to do specific things for each day and once finished I can just roam around talking to people or just go to sleep early, and it's so much better. There's no need to do everything by the first year...
Ok it’s not really a mistake but I recently just found out that you don’t actually need trash to make composts. 😂 Any organic things can be turned into composts, like seaweeds, flowers, sea salts, or even insects. Save your trashes for scraps.
I can’t wait to finally play now that I won the game thank you Sarah I’ll let you know what mistakes I made but these videos are so helpful to get me started thank you so much! 💕💕💕
This game needs some kind of end-game money sink. After a while farming and tending livestock, money is no longer a problem and there is nothing in the game so far to spend it meaningfully, other than the very expensive furniture items. The furniture doesn't add anything to the game other than to look pretty.
Yeah I get your point... but also, this isn't a game about infinite/huge progress, it's not like you could/should buy other farms to make a franchise out of them... you came from the big city to enjoy a peaceful life in the countryside, those games were always about that, you don't need to spend all your millions of coins by the end
Definitely look for silver kelp in dig spots on the beach and by opening coffers! This is the best way to get it in early game. Silver kelp is super abundant once you unlock the deeper ocean so I wouldn’t recommend buying any! Just gold kelp right now!
I haven't really made any 'mistakes' per say, but the only time I made a 'gamble' was for the Cherry Blossom Festival in donating a silver quality lettuce *and the gamble worked*. One of your tips that did help me though was to save my wild seeds because I did plant several early on (and that's how I got that lettuce so I don't regret planting them from the start) but now I plan on saving them for when winter comes around. A few questions for you though Sarah. I just got the ability to make my own hive so I can get honey now. If you put a flower in there, you can just leave it in there and it'll never vanish right? Does the quality of the flower affect the honey quality because I've been saving the few bronze and silver quality flowers I've gotten for that reason and I am guessing the flowers that sell for more are the better flowers to use for the hives. On a separate note, I got a new free outfit when donating to the museum. I put that one on, but now I don't know where to put it, other than one of my chests that I use for storage. I thought with my first house upgrade, one of the furniture pieces I got was a closet, but it doesn't seem to be the case since I couldn't put my old outfit in there. Anyway, I am enjoying the game overall, even with the technical issues it has while in early access.
Thank you so much for sharing all of this! You can put any flower in the bee houses and they will stay there until they have turned into honey! The quality of the flower impacts the quality of the honey. You can mix and match the quality and flower types in the same house. I would definitely recommend using higher value flowers to make it worth it, like you said! You should be able to use the starter wardrobe to store clothes, but if it's not working for some reason, I purchased the "Basic Cabinet" at the furniture store and it worked for me. Right now this is the only furniture item it works with, but in the future it will be all wardrobes! Hope this helps!
I found something accidently while checking if I could find sand on the beach but then quickly forgot about it. Looks like I need to upgrade my tools? Subbed!
THIS. I’m so BROKE. I tend to always save everything anyways when playing this type of game but there’s usually atleast a couple things I feel safe selling, but in this game it feels like everything is needed for something.
I sold whatever I was growing early in the game and once I saved enough for a coop, I had sold the eggs until I was able to make mayonnaise and made more money from selling that. Did the same with cows and sheep.
@@JubjubbimmieThis is a game where you have to spend money to make money. I bought seed from Sam…about eight seeds for each crop and used fertilizer to upgrade their quality. I would sell them and make some decent scratch and save up for a barn and a chicken coop. You could also use wild seeds you find in the area, but it is better to save them for the Winter.
I loved the video, thank you for the tips, Sarah!! I remember when I first got the fishing rod and the bug net and sold everything I cacthed, It didn't even cross my mind to donate it.
I bought a plum tree (it said to plant it in spring or summer) and it died first day of fall without me even harvesting it once 😩 more than 1000$ in the trash… I could’ve put this money in upgrading my house 😖

How do you equip the bait? I couldn’t figure it out
@@CalicoShoes on your inventory screen, there are four equipment slots at the bottom, one is for bait.
@@piperbird7193 thanks!!
I did not know this. Thanks! That would explain where my bait went as I knew I didn't use all 200 of them
oooh my gosh I literally thought I hallucinated buying my last batch!!

There were SPIDERS in the game?! God I'm so happy I'm playing the upgraded version, otherwise I would NEVER go to mines again 💀
I'm really curious why so many people hate violets specifically
Ok it’s not really a mistake but I recently just found out that you don’t actually need trash to make composts. 😂 Any organic things can be turned into composts, like seaweeds, flowers, sea salts, or even insects. Save your trashes for scraps.
Wait WHAT!
whaaaaaaaatttt that's such a game changer
chrust thank god i came across this comment
i sold my stuff after visiting the museum but definitely disregarded saving for offerings lol noted :P
I did too before the update!! Now I'm collecting!!
I can’t wait to finally play now that I won the game thank you Sarah I’ll let you know what mistakes I made but these videos are so helpful to get me started thank you so much! 💕💕💕
Aw! This makes me happy Kyla. Thank you for sharing and have fun with Coral Island!!
I use the Violets as food for the mines when I found out that the 3 people I gave them too didn't like it.
Great idea!

I wishhhh I knew that you can dig the whole beach up! Wtf lol
That passing out tip is priceless or maybe I should say pricey!🤑
*when you avoid many mistake thanks to Sarah’s video*
it's what I'm here for
I made many of these mistakes myself
...yep
Another fabulous video that I made notes on so when I play I’m ahead of the game 😂
I wish the silver kelp would be still this cheap at the lab. But, they changed it to 1,500 for one piece. Making a sprinkler that way isn't affordable

@@sarahsunstone Okay so the flower isn't permanent. Thanks!
@@Zodia195 Yeah it isn't. Once the honey finishes processing, the flower "goes away" and you have to put a new one
Jezuz, 250hrs!!! I’m barely 2hrs in 😅. Thank you for the video!
how to improve farming skills?
My farming skills are stuck at lv 5
The skill level is capped at 5 right now! You’ll be able to level up more after a future update
It was very hard for me to like this video because the likes were at 666 :D
Ohhhhh 3:45 I am stupid as hell, I thought it's if I ever gifted it to someone that likes it , oh god, thanks for telling me hahahaha
My inventory is full to update the bag is 12k more but my coins still not reach so i always pas out this game😂 … but to be honest i enjoy 😊☺️
Lol i spent half a hole year wondering why my bee hive wasnt making hony like i stardew then i read the discrpion and was like are you seriose lol
I found something accidently while checking if I could find sand on the beach but then quickly forgot about it.
Looks like I need to upgrade my tools? Subbed!
How can i attend the festival? I'm searching around and can't even find it.
Great tips! Thank you my lady!
I brought a steam deck just to play this game 😊
Amaaaazing!!
I was SO tempted to, but they aren’t really being sold in Australia. Only through resellers
All excellent tips!
Thanks so much AJ!
Ever grateful for Sarah. She -walks- _falls down_ so we can run
I'm in tears and I'll take it I know my role here.
wait why is your Museum one big room? mine is separate with loading screens inbetween. Also were spiders just removed I've never seen one.
She is playing in the early access version, this video is over a year ago. In 1.0 and 1.1(current version), the museum is what you described.
Extremely helpful tips! Appreciate you making the mistakes to help this community.
How are your signs so clear? All of my town signs are so blurry. Tysm!
Check texture quality in settings.

Yes. I did not know that....
What can you sell early on/beginner game to get ahead on money? It seems like we need to keep everything 🤔😩

What are all the skills you recommend using skill points for ???? I can’t find much on them
this game is so troughtfull they even have dyslexia fond witch i very much appreciate❤
Gracias 🙏 por este video ! Me ayudo mucho ! Saludos !
I loved the video, thank you for the tips, Sarah!! I remember when I first got the fishing rod and the bug net and sold everything I cacthed, It didn't even cross my mind to donate it.
I just downloaded the game so thank you for the tips!
How come you have soooo much money😨😨😨
I bought a plum tree (it said to plant it in spring or summer) and it died first day of fall without me even harvesting it once 😩 more than 1000$ in the trash… I could’ve put this money in upgrading my house 😖
Why would it die when fruit trees last all year
Mine died after the first season I bought it, just disappeared
@@Titidou87 game glitched because all fruit trees last…it wouldn’t disappear either you’d have some kind of leftover possibly
@@look_mypfp_6875 oh, thanks :)
My newbie mistake was to give out violets as gifts 🥹
Aww omg It happens to us all
