To say Stardew Valley has a lot for you to do is a little bit of an understatement. With so much farming, mining, fishing and rummaging through bins to do, it can be a bit overwhelming the first time you set out.

As such we've put together the video above with 8 handy tips that should help you on your way to becoming the farmer you'd always dreamed you might be (at least in a video game). Do you have any tips of your own for fresh-faced farmhands? Let us know what they are down there in the comments.

Imma pick this up later, thanks for the tips!
Tip number one don't go to the beach with full pockets....i had no room for the fishing rod so i went "home" to empty them, ran out of energy, slept....woke up and it was gone.
I'll never fish in this game out of spite 😅
This was actually pretty helpful. I'm not going to lie; I was wandering around pretty aimlessly this morning for my first hour or so of playing. The game could use a bit more of a sense of direction, at least at the beginning.
These video articles are really annoying. Some people would prefer reading. At least write out a short list in addition.
Now that I'm finally playing it I'm happy to see all the praise and hype was not overblown. I can see this easily becoming a 100+ hour time suck.
@justin233 For me it depends on the time of day. Daytime - it's super annoying. But at night, when I'm home a playing a game or something, I like having them to run in the background.
Man, I started playing last night at 11 PM and I'm already hopelessly enthralled. I don't think I'll find it in me to do anything this weekend apart from playing this little gem.
For some reason the art style of the game is unappealing to me 🤷♀️
Great game. Now if only the static noise in docked mode problem could get fixed asap, cause it's really irritating. A restart of the game temporarily fixes it, but comes back soon enough
I'll get to this once I finish up the games on my SNES mini. But it will be glorious!
Can't wait to get this! It looks like something I could really waste a lot of time on. Now if only I had the money to waste, too...
@justin233 Glad I am not the only one!
i want to play this game so bad, but I'm saving for Oddessey.
Thanks I was wondering where the green Placement tile had gone!
great tips. thanks. i'd love to see a video on how to fish. i can't get the hang of this at all.
turned on auto run. moves at the same speed... Also where is the run button?
@Sidon_ZoraPrince Tip number 2: you can empty your pockets wherever you like by going to the inventory screen and moving things into the trash can.
@Megal0maniac I've noticed that, too. It's very subtle, and at first I thought my speaker was blown, but I'm glad it's just a glitch. Here's hoping it gets patched soon.
@Megal0maniac I’ve noticed that too!! I thought I was the only one wow... I hope it’s patched soon. I just turned off the music so the static couldn’t happen.
@gcunit i know that but everything i had was worth gold, that i needed ....i didnt plan on fainting on the way to my shipping box 😅
