What do people prioritise to get completed in the 1st year?

[NoRiskNoBun]

For me it's:
1. Fully Upgraded bag pack
2. Tools upgraded to gold with priority on pickaxe and axe then the rest
3. Farm buildings

What about you all?

The goal for year 1 is to finish the community center. But you're out of luck if you can't get red cabbage from the traveling merchant.

Bus and minecarts mostly and if i don't mess it up, the greenhouse as well.

the tools and bag get upgraded no matter what i concentrate on, so i don't need to prioritize them.

There's a setting to have a guaranteed chance to get it in Y1 though.

Greenhouse and minecarts for me. Desert bus is a bit of money drain on Y1 and without prismatic shard delving into The Cavern might be inefficient.

Big brain strategy

[poppetshadow]

My first year is all about fully upgrading and automating coops and barns. It's also about getting quality sprinklers, and ancient seeds in the greenhouse, along with having everything ready to open the Community Center AFTER Spring 1st of year 2 (I wait for Kent to show up before completing the bulletin board for friendship points). I try to never miss a birthday in year 1 (preferably with loved gifts) but don't focus on completing relationships until year 2.

I don't speedrun, but my first two years are always very busy.

I try to do bare minimum to get the greenhouse, so i dont have to wait an entire year because i missed a single grain of sand in the last year.

Once you have greenhouse, you are never limited by seasons any more and can do whatever. This removes some part of anxiety, maybe im weird, but its a source of anxiety.

crops dont die if you dont water them every day ? oO

[psiionics]

For me, I always get the fully upgraded backpack and the bus fixed ASAP. I also aim to be married by the end of the first year. I try to have all my tools upgraded to gold by then as well, prioritizing my pickaxe and watering can first. Other than that, I'm not in any rush!

they dont "die". they just wont grow. parsnips takes 4 days to grow so they will be ready after the 4th rainy day. but im wondering how many will be lost to crows.

For me its get the greenhouse done. almost all the community bundles waiting till year 2 to complete the friendship bundle. and as someone else pointed out you could enable the guarantee a red cabbage Y1. secondary is the sewer.

+1
Having the Greenhouse is a great boost. Everything else can be doable in due time, but the Greenhouse is top proirity for me.

They can die without water. I missed a day of watering due to a festival event and clint was upgrading my watering can and one of my plots withered.

End of Spring : level 10 fishing, bottom of mines, lots of coffee plants, sprinklers everywhere
End of Summer: coop and barn built, gold tools
End of Fall: Shed with artisan machines full, Barn with pigs, Iridium axe and pickaxe
End of Winter: At least 1 million $, community centre finished.
Burn out, stop playing, start a new save a few weeks later.

I usually prioritize the backpack upgrades, getting the greenhouse, getting all my skills to at least 5, and upgrading all my stuff to iron
