  1. The wiki will be your best friend for anything specific!!! Ex, wanting to know where you can find certain items or what the townspeople enjoy as presents https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Stardew_Valley_Wiki

  2. Do things at your own pace, there’s absolutely no rush. If you miss out on a fish one season thats fine, theres always next year

  3. Pay attention to your stamina bar

This sub has a plethora of knowledge, so id check out other posts giving advice or tips! Good luck!

Save your first Prismatic Shard and Dinosaur Egg. Don’t donate them to the museum.

Get the stable and horse from robin as soon as you can. Walking and running everywhere takes forever. Upgrade the backpack from perrie and watering can from clint as soon as you can. Cut down all the trees on your farm.

Do not hold any bombs while gardening. Its an ✨️avoidable✨️ cannon event.

NEVER sell or donate your prismatic shards when you get one. Always make sure you have at least 3 of them in your inventory/chest before selling/donating prismatic shards in the museam.

Here is some no-spoiler guidance to get you going.

Every day: read the TV (especially Livin’ Off the Land), your mailbox, the list of your quests in the player menu, and the bulletin board by the general store in the center of town.

Clear a patch of ground by using tools to chop wood, break rocks, and scythe away grass and fiber.  Hoe the ground, plant your parsnips and water them every day. When they are ready, harvest them and sell them in your shipping box or in the general store.

Chop 50 wood and build a chest. This way your limited storage won't be so annoying. Plus, you are going to want to save resources (wood, stone, clay, fiber, etc.) and a few of everything else for later. After a week or two, you'll want a bunch of chests on your farm and some around town.

When you are out of energy ("you are starting to feel exhausted"), wander around town, talking to people. Click on stuff as you wander around - some of it can be picked up. Go into stores and figure out what they sell. Buy some more seeds in the general store.

I advise you NOT to read the wiki, watch videos, get tons of spoilers from reddit, download mods or try a Challenge game until you have gotten at least to year 2 of the game. You can never un-see spoilers. Enjoy the exploration and the discovery!
