Should i start a new farm ??

[Kastrolus]

Hi guys, i am returning to the game after 3 months and i had a farm, year 2, summer, cc not finished, started after the new update, 10 hearts Penny, and i had barn and chicken coop, some tappers, and just not alot of progress done, i already asked on some Stardew Valley stream, and people told me to stick with my old farm, othervise if i keep reseting i wont get much progress done, but getting back into the grind of old farm is not very fun for me, i wanna try out forest farm, and try and build friendship with different character then before, so what do you think, should i do new farm, or should i play on old one and go through painfull grind ?

Hi,
Had the same issue when the new update dropped. Started a new farm on the forest but got quickly bored bc I had to go through all the painful "beginner" stuff I still remembered. My advice is to keep going to the old farm and try to figure out what's new if you haven't read the patch note.
It was a little hard to catch up but it was the best decision in my opinion.
I also had a save on Year 3 end of summer so I had already did much more than you.

Hope this helps :)

when you play stardew valley you set goals, if your goals require you to start a new file, then by all means do so.

start a new farm!!!

lots of people enjoy playing the "struggle" part of the farm more than playing it once you've got it established

if you're playing it for fun, just start a new one whenever you want.

the only reason to NOT start over is if you're only playing the game for achievements (or speed running or---) and not fun

if you're playing it to meet somebody else's goals instead of your own, yes, you're gonna have to do your grindy chores

you don't have to delete your other save. just make a new one, and then if you decide that the established would be more fun, go back to that

You won't really miss anything if you return to your old save file, i think a lot of the 1.6 stuff comes into play after you have reached lvl 10 on all your skills.

The main reason to start over again is if you want to shuffle up the community center or go with JoJa Mart for a change

I start a new file, once i feel disconnected from the previous one. Hard to tell how many weeks need to pass for that feeling to arise and it's individual anyway, so only you can tell (though after 3 month i probably wouldn't even know who i married last, so that's usually a restart reason for me^^).

try the forest farm, you won't be disappointed

I'd definitely say start a new one. I've only been playing a few weeks, and I've already restarted twice. Each time, I have a little better understanding about how things work (for example, who knew that quest to build a Coop required you to go to Robyn the Builder to build it?) so my early farm building gets more refined. So I'm a big proponent of do it, while it's still early in your game. Just keep restarting, and getting better.

For example with me, I'm better with my crop layouts, and what to invest in, and how much time that requires each day. But I'm still bad about incorporating things to make all that easier. I'm also bad about just focusing on crops so much that I wind up doing nothing else. Right now, I have one "crop plot" with three 6x6 grids that I do 3x6 plants for every crop of the season (cooking purposes). Then I have another "crop plot" with four 5x5 grids, that's for my cash crops. Just a straight 100 seeds of the long grow, high return crops (melons, pumpkins, etc). But watering all that, plus the greenhouse, plus the livestock, plus the artisan products... it's 4p by the time Farmer's finished. Every day. There's little time to do anything else. So I know I gotta get better about it, and that'll be another start-over once I get the layouts more refined.

Always plan on a do-over. Find something you want to refine, refine it, incorporate that into the start of your next game. Play smarter, not harder.

What will give you more fun? Answer of this question is answer of your question, I think :)
