Holy crap, fatigue is...a thing

[Kai]

Is there something early on that's easy to get and increases my stamina or to help recover it? Or am I meant to be limited to a few actions per day until later on?

[Marlfox]

A bit discouraging.

[OtakuD]

I'm guessing it's a pacing thing, have to mix talking to ppl and getting seeds etc in your day else you would just plough through the content?

If the foraged items are any indication it will be consuming things to replenish energy. Try stopping by Joja Mart and seeing if they have anything to replenish your energy. Also, don't eat sap, it's bad for you.

It seems you only get fatigue from actually working (or at least a lot more than from other things), so why not go to town and talk to people when you are low on energy? There's no need to clear your whole farm on the first day, you can't use all that land yet anyways.

I like the feature because if it wasnt in place.. you could literally just farm and do so much in such a short amount of time. If that was the case- many people would be bored after a few in-game weeks IMO.

If I remember right- many Harvest Moon games had a fatigue meter of some sort too.

Also I want to point out- part of the day should be spent socializing with people, which doesnt use up energy.


Anyway- to the questions asked. There's items that help give you more energy. I would assume the shops sell them.

Considering the game's inspiration is the Farm Story series (Harvest Moon/Story of Seasons in English, just easier to use the direct translated name now), one of the charms of those games is managing your energy, fatigue and time to grow your farm. There are items in this game that will raise your energy, making fatigue less of a worry as you go.

I know having a stamina system is good, just trying to adapt to how quickly it depletes in early game. Fishing is especially stamina consuming. My first quest on the bulletin board asks me to catch a catfish in two days. I tried in different bodies of water but not luck. Could only fish a few times per day. Getting used to it a bit now.

make sure your going to bed before 0:00 I think if you stay up too late you wake up the next day with less stamina!!

[Mbos]

as a tip for when you walk around. becuase misclikcing can consume a lot of energy. have the scythe equipte doesnt use energy or the swords.

Once you start harvesting food stuff you can eat to offset fatigue. The clinic also sells powerful stimulants to keep working.

That said does anyone know if swining your axe and such when theres nothing to actually chop and such wastes fatigue? If so that's kind of annoying. I keep accednetly swining it tools in town when trying to interact with people and things (would be nice to be able to rebind those mouse buttons), havn't been watching the fatique bar when it happens though.

[Kai]

Thanks for the tips

@Astrobia yeah it appears so. I unselect any of my tools when I'm not using them to avoid accidental usage.

This has been around since Harvest Moon on SNES. You can't work all day at the farm, you have to commute with the townsfolk, and participate in those kind of activities. There were power berries in HM that would allow you to gain some stamina, i'm sure there will be similar items here as well.

There is also another good way I found out.

When leaving your Farm to the right side, there are Trash Cans standing around. They contain various things, from Bread, Jojo Cola to Field Ration. All those things are really helping out until you get a steady income to afford leaving aside some food or buying.
Just dont let the Villagers see you, they will complain. Not sure which Range so go safe and watch out no one is on the Screen.

You're a poor Farmer in the beginning, so lending some eatables should be okey. :P

Misclicked and gave someone trash and they were like "this is the worst present i ever got", hopefully it wont effect our 'relationship' negatively. Anyone know?
I don't get why he didn't just refuse it... Seems like it's too easy to lose items on accident.

Or you could use cheat engine, of course that would spoil the game if you did not use it in extreme moderation.
