On the character creation screen, choose the Standard Farm, the default map on the list.
-
Move the bed right next to the door, and turn on the fireplace for the nights.
-
Take the 15 Parsnip Seeds that arrive as a gift.
-
Clear the weeds first, because they spread and ruin crops. Then remove the rocks and branches in the way.

Binoguio says:
Weeds are the worst kind of neighbor.
-
Hoe three soil tiles close to the house, plant the parsnip seeds there, and water them.
-
Chop trees until you have 50 wood. Watch the energy bar, because every action spends it.
-
Open the crafting menu, make a Chest, and place it near the house.
-
Store everything in the chest, even the clay. Nothing stays on the ground.
B
Binoguio says:
Hoarding is a virtue here.
-
Head south and cut the spring onions with the scythe only, to save energy.
-
Dig any worm spots on the way and pick up what they hold: clay, Wild Horseradish, a Lost Book.
-
Greet Leah at her cabin in the south woods.
-
Pick any Daffodils growing along the road to town.
-
In town, check the trash cans; some hold free items.
-
At Pierre's shop, buy 10 Potato Seeds and spend the rest on more.
B
Binoguio says:
The wallet empties on purpose.
-
Back home, hoe more tiles and plant the potatoes the same day. Do not leave them for tomorrow.
-
Plant the three Mixed Seeds from the cleanup next to the potatoes, and water everything.
-
Cut 50 more wood and craft a second Chest for the fish.
B
Binoguio says:
A fish chest before a fishing rod.
-
Forage with the leftover energy, then sleep to end day one.
-
Watch TV first thing in the morning: it gives the weather forecast and The Queen of Sauce recipes.
-
Read the letter in the mailbox: Willy is waiting on the beach today.
-
Water the crops before leaving the farm.
-
Cut any spring onions on the way and head to the beach.
-
Meet Willy on the beach and receive the Bamboo Pole.
-
Dig the worm spots on the beach for clay.
-
Fish at the beach edge and sell the catch to Willy, keeping one of each fish.
-
Have 750g saved by day 5; the reason shows up then.
-
Gift a Daffodil to Caroline; her friendship leads to the Tea Sapling.
B
Binoguio says:
Tea over romance this time.
-
Sell the clay, but keep the shells, oysters and Daffodils.
-
Sleep; day two ends near 1,900g earned.
-
Rain waters the crops, so no watering today. Carry only the hoe and the Bamboo Pole.
-
Fish the river south of the farm, staying on the near edge of the water.
-
Target the rain fish of spring: Catfish and Shad.
-
Fish all day: the catches raise Fishing to level 1, and then the darker water comes into reach.
-
If a Catfish gets away, never skip another rain day this spring.
-
Sell the day's fish: gold and silver quality pay most, keep two of each type, and never the Catfish.
-
Store the fish in the fish chest, then sleep; the account is near 3,000g and Fishing hit level 2.
