This post is reserved for the list of things we know can be done. This list isn't meant to be exhaustive - if you think there's something we should be able to do that isn't listed here, go ahead and ask!

Exploration

- costs time. Digging up buried treasure costs a small amount of energy.

• We can go over an area we already know to see if we missed anything, or if anything's changed.
  
• We can explore a shop to get an updated list of what they sell. This includes the Traveling Merchant (Fridays, Sundays), with different stock every time!
  
• If submitted before I start the deadline timer, I will process this ASAP. During the actual playthrough, we will commit to visiting the area / shop / location.
  
• You can specify a time of day to explore; this may affect which people are present. If you don't, I'll pick a time myself.

Visiting Calico Desert

- costs either 500G or a Warp Totem: Desert. If paying cash, Pam runs the bus starting at 10:10 AM; unknown when she leaves for the day.

• Fishing, foraging, and searching for dig spots are all options here.
  
• There are also two merchants: Sandy and the Desert Trader. Their stock changes regularly, so recommend exploring if we want to buy anything from them. The Trader specifically does *not* accept standard currency!
  
• Skull Cavern
  is here. It offers mining, with a wider variety of rewards. It's also deadlier.

Clearing & Chopping

- costs time & energy.

• The farm is covered with weeds, rocks, sticks, logs, stumps, trees, and grass. If we want to put all this space to good use, we'll have to clear some room out.
  
• Weeds require a
  weapon
  or
  Scythe
  ; they yield fiber (always) and mixed seeds (rarely). This costs no energy.
  
• Rocks require a
  Pickaxe
  ; they yield stone (always), coal (rarely), and geodes (rarely).
  
• Sticks and trees require an
  Axe
  ; they yield wood (always), sap (trees only, always), and seeds (trees only, usually).
  
• Grass requires a
  Scythe
  ; without a
  Silo
  , it yields nothing. This costs no energy.
  
• Other locations may have debris and/or trees as well: Cindersap Forest (both), Pelican Town (debris), and the Mountains (trees).
  
• Trees grow wild on Content Farm; we can also replant them at specified locations. Elsewhere, they'll regrow automatically.

Planting Crops

- costs time & energy.

• Tilling the ground requires a
  Hoe
  . After harvesting, tilled ground can be re-used.
  
• (Optional)We can apply fertilizer to the soil. Depending on the type, it may improve the crop's quality, growth speed, or water retention.
  
• Once planted, the crops must be watered.

Crop Management

- costs time and energy

• Unless it's raining, crops must be watered daily. This requires a
  Watering Can
  (manual watering; costs energy), or the use of
  Sprinklers
  (automatic watering).
  
• Retaining fertilizer gives a chance for water to stay in the soil, lessening the need to water.
  
• Once fully grown, crops must be harvested. Some crops require a
  Scythe
  to harvest.

Animal Management

- costs time

• Animals must be fed daily.
  • On sunny days, we just have to let the animals out to feed early in the day. The animals will return on their own in the evening.
    
  • On rainy days, we have to provide hay. With a Silo, we can cut grass to make hay. Without a Silo, we have to buy it from Marnie.
• Animals can be petted daily.
  
• Mature, well-fed animals will produce items that can be harvested on a regular cycle.

Rummaging through trash

- costs time.

• Sometimes people throw away the craziest things. On the other hand, most of the time they throw away ... well, trash.

Fishing

- costs time & energy.

• We can fish in any body of water. I recommend specifying where to fish if requesting this as an action. If not, I'll pick an area that we're already going to be in to fish.
  
• Results may vary based on a wide variety of factors.
  
• Practice can pay off in the long run.

Mining

- costs time, energy, & health.

• We can either mine at The Mines or Skull Cavern.
  
• The Mines: we can choose a region to concentrate on. We can start at any floor divisible by 5 (up to 120, which is the last floor).
  
• Skull Cavern: we have to start from scratch. More variety, but a lot deadlier. It costs 500G to visit, and we can't get to the desert any sooner than 10:10 AM.
  
• We must have a Pickaxe and a Weapon with us to mine. Bringing along food is highly recommended.

Smelting

- costs time & items.

• We can smelt ores and certain minerals into usable bars by feeding the ingredients (plus one coal) into a furnace.
  
• Smelting takes time, but the furnace can be left unattended while in use.
  
• Each individual furnace can only craft one bar at a time, and must be reloaded manually each time for larger projects.
  
• The bars sell for more than the raw materials do.
  
• The bars can also be used for crafting.

Donations & Gifts

- costs time & items.

• We can give things to people! We generally won't get anything concrete from this, but if the recipient likes the gift, they'll think better of us. Birthdays make for especially memorable occasions.
  
• Gunther will only accept donations on behalf of the museum -
  minerals and artifacts
  that haven't already been donated. He'll occasionally give us items in exchange.
  
• Morris and the JojaMart cashier will not accept gifts.
  
• We can donate items to the Community Center. It will only accept specified items. We'll get rewards for completing categories of donations.

Pre-game

During the initial game set-up, we have to decide on the following:

The name of the farm. It has to end with "Farm" and has a character limit of approximately 8-12 characters (not counting the word "Farm").

The farm's starting layout. Choices are:

• Standard Farm - this farm has a lot of room, but not much else to distinguish it.
  
• Riverland Farm - this farm has lots of water. Great for fishing, but not a lot of space.
  
• Forest Farm - this farm has the bounty of the forest on hand, but a lot of the territory isn't great for farming.
  
• Hilltop Farm - this farm has a quarry for mining, with narrow tracts of land for farming.
  
• Wilderness Farm - Lots of space here, but at night we'll have to contend with monsters.
  
• Beach Farm - this farm is set up on the ocean. Salvage washes up regularly, and there's room for foraging and fishing - but most of the soil is sandy, which means sprinklers won't work.

Please let me know preferences for farm name and/or farm type. I'll open up suggestions for gameplay in a week!

[mallowgeno]

Farm Farm

Wilderness Farm

[Farren]

"Yes, Mr. Grandpa, I've recorded the deed as Farm Farm, as per your request."

"No, I said it didn't need a name; it was just the farm!"

"Sorry, Mr. Grandpa, all transactions are final!

"

We'll work on a consensus system here for both name and farm type - if there is no consensus, I'll pick from the options everyone gives me.

[Cat Scratch Fever]

I'd be happy to play any farm that's not river or beach

[Menalque]

Ñame:

Content Farm

I’m good for forest farm or wilderness farm

[Farren]

And lo, was the bounty of the farm piled high in front of them. And they called it the Table of Contents, for they were content with their crops.

[Farren]

I'll give this until tomorrow for anyone else to weigh in on farm name / farm type.

Right now, consensus is pointing towards the

Wilderness Farm

. We have two suggestions with no consensus for farm name.

[Farren]

Spoiler: Screenshot: Character Selection

If anyone has any suggestions on how to change this, let me know! With no consensus on name, I've chosen

Content Farm

as the name of the farm.

Submissions for Spring 1 will open on Monday.

[Farren]

The last time you spoke with Grandpa before he passed away, he handed you a sealed letter.

He told you not to open it yet; the time wasn't right.

"There will come a day where you feel crushed by the burden of modern life ...
and your bright spirit will fade before a growing emptiness.

When that happens, you will be ready for this gift."

[Farren]

And sure enough, the day came.

Was it too much time spent working for JojaMart? Let's go with that.

You opened Grandpa's letter. It said:

"If you're reading this, you must be in dire need of a change.

"The same thing happened to me, long ago. I'd lost sight of what mattered most in life... real connections with other people and nature. So I dropped everything and moved to the place I truly belong.

"I've enclosed the deed to that place... my pride and joy:

Content Farm

. It's located in Stardew Valley, on the southern coast. It's the perfect place to start your new life.

"This was my most precious gift of all, and now it's yours. I know you'll honor the family name. Good luck.

"Love, Grandpa."

[Farren]

"P.S. If Lewis is still alive say hi to the old guy for me, will ya?"

The very next day, you found yourself on a bus bound for Stardew Valley.

[Farren]

Robin, the local carpenter, was waiting there to meet you. She escorted you to the farm.

The farm had seen better days. It had been neglected for years - the farmhouse was rundown and the fields were strewn with debris.

Mayor Lewis - who was in fact still alive! - exited the farmhouse as you looked over the farm. He welcomed you to Pelican Town and recommended you get a good night's rest - after all, Spring is just about here!

As a welcome gift, he gave you

Parsnip Seeds x15

. He also mentioned that

the rest of the town was excited to meet you

- it's not every day that someone new shows up!

New quests obtained!

  It would be a nice gesture to introduce yourself around town. Some people might be anxious to meet the new farmer.
  Progress: 2/28 people met.
  
• Getting Started
  :
  If you want to become a farmer, you have to start with the basics. Use your hoe to till the soil, then use a seed packet on the tilled soil to sow a crop. Water every day until the crop is ready for harvest.
  Progress: 0/1 parsnips harvested.

How this works:

- Anyone can suggest one or more things for us to do today. If multiple people suggest the same thing, it'll be more likely to happen and/or get more time and resources spent on it. Check out post #1 for some ideas; as we discover more of the world, I'll add more ideas to the list!
- If anyone wants to explore, I'll process that ASAP; exploration will let everyone know what Pelican Town has to offer. As such,

it's better to explore sooner than later!

- The game can only be saved once a day is complete, so I won't save the results of exploration - but when the time comes to play through the day proper, I will make a point of going to every location we explored today.
- Be as detailed - or as sparse - as you like in your instructions.
- The spirit of the game: have fun.

The floor is open!

Deadline will be no sooner than 72 hours from now, and I will extend it freely if need be (lots of exploration, that sort of thing).
The only caveat to that is: Summer in Stardew Valley will start when summer in the northern hemisphere starts. We've got three months to get through 28 in-game days.

We should clear some land and plant the starting seeds and also water them

Explore South

[Farren]

Explore South

Locked-in actions:

• Clear Debris - clear a path to the south.
  
• Explore Cindersap Forest

Approximate time spent: 4-5 hours.
Approximate energy spent: minimal.

Cindersap Forest

To the South lies

Cindersap Forest

.

The first thing that catches your eye is

Marnie's Ranch

, at the eastern edge of the forest; its posted hours are

9:00 AM - 6:00 PM.

A road runs

east

, leading to Pelican Town.

A

river

runs through the southern end of the forest, winding its way from Pelican Town to the coast. On the riverbank, there's a cottage with a green roof; a sign nearby reads "

Leah's Cottage

." The door is locked.

The river is wide, with a few islands scattered throughout. Bridges allow for easy access to either side of the river and a view of the coast - cliffs prevent reaching the coast from here.

On the south side of the river, there's a

sewer grate

, blocked by a locked grating.

Further down the river, you found an

abandoned house

. The doors and windows are boarded up.

On the west side, close to the deep woods, there's a

tower

. The door is locked, although you can hear someone inside.

There's a path leading to the deep forest in the

northwest

, but it's blocked by

a large log

, too big to climb over. Your current Axe can't make a dent in the bark.

Finally, there's a

large lake

in the northwest, separate from the river.

Cindersap Forest: Actions

Available actions here:

Chop trees

- unsurprisingly for a forest, there are plenty of trees you can chop here.

Clear weeds

- there's a lot of debris near the lake, similar to what's on your farm. While it's not part of your property, certainly no one would object to your maintaining the area.

Forage

- there are quite a few spots that look promising for wild forage.

I will automatically forage this area on my playthrough of Spring 1 unless told not to.

Visit the Ranch

- It wouldn't take too much extra time to stop by Marnie's Ranch while we're here, assuming the posted hours are accurate.
