I often just try to press my buttons just incase something is ready
if it is ready you will pick them out of the ground
be careful not to eat them
It won't let you water crops that are ready to pick.

All I'm doing at work is planning what I will accomplish when I get home.
I have winter coming up and trying to set everything up for artisan stuff every day all day. But there is such a huge up front cost to build all the kegs, pickles, mayonnaise machine and animals.
I'm praying I make enough to at least reach/buy ducks and goats before winter.

One interesting thing that happened when I tried to get all animals by the end of the first year is I ran out of wood. There were just no more trees anywhere and the seedlings dont grow in the winter. Ended up needing to buy a few hundred to finish my deluxe barn. Didnt happen on my steam playthrough because I spaced out my big purchases over two years.
Could have been avoided if i planted trees more aggressively in the first spring

Started this, finally. Can't seem to find the 8 people I need to finish the 'introduce yourself' mission. Tempted to just say screw it and return to farming/fishing. Picked the farm with lots of water because one of my favorite things to do in Animal Crossing/Harvest Moon is fish.

Clear out the trees in the forest south of your farm. They auto repopulate.
But yeah, mid summer I realized how much I would need and started to replant some trees in the areas I could already clear with my copper tools.
This game is unacceptably broken 
I've had 15+ crashes in 60hrs I'd say. All before save, upon sleep. It's usually mining related but not always. Currently I've made 4 awesome attempts at the desert mine, getting beyong floor 50, and it has crashed every single time. Sometimes I pass out in desert, sometimes I make it back to bed, sometimes I deposit all my items before sleep, one I tried doing something else like fishing before bed and watering plants.... all crashed ;_; ugh.

Introducing yourself to people gets you started on the social aspect; planting and farming the parsnips will net your (probable) first skill increase; visiting the docks when you get the letter from Willy will introduce you to fishing; visiting the mines will introduce you to the Adventurer's Guild and getting your first ore will prompt a visit from Clint, giving you a new crafting design for Furnaces, which unlocks the ability to craft Bars from ore you've mined; walking into town after Spring 5 between 8 and 1 will trigger a cutscene
with Lewis introducing you to the Community Center
glowing tile triggers another scene with the Wizard which allows you to start building bundles
It doesn't straight up tell you "Do these things," but it actually does give you some guidance. It just lets you completely ignore it, too, if you want to.
That's a fair comparison. Maybe you can use the community center quest as a direction but there's still a ton of freedom on how to complete that.

Between the various "story" quest the game gives you and the community center I find it's the opposite of needing direction. I have so many directions its hard to know what to prioritize on. One suggestion I have is don't be afraid to look up where something is easily found.
About to enter my first Fall, I've still not build any building but I'm already at the 45th level of the mines. About to build a silo, clear a shit load of grass, and build a coop/barn during the fall so I can rely on those in winter. I have the level 3 axe and pick and about to get the level 3 watering can.
This game is hopelessly addicting.

When did these issues start to occur? I'm probably over 30 hours in at this point, but have not once experienced this glitch. I just wondering how widespread the issue is or what causes it.

From what I hear it starts around the 10 day of the first winter. Most people are around 30 hours at that point.

They were trying to grab your prize. They work for the mercenary. The masked man.

It's the wood floor recipe from the carpenter's shop.
In terms of things that are easily purchased without completing any bundles or having learned to craft a seed maker or whatever, things like Strawberries, Hops, Melons, Red Cabbages (year two), Blueberries, Corn (if you start growing them in Summer and let them go all Fall), Cranberries, Grapes, Pumpkins, and the like all give lots of money. Basically, anything that is either expensive to buy and has a high sell price once you've grown it, or something that repeatedly gives you new harvests without making you replant.
If you have the ability to go to the Desert, you can get Star Fruit; if you've gotten your first Ancient Seed (either from getting lucky in the mines or with a Seed Maker), you can start working your way towards Ancient Fruit.

this is the most daunting thing I've done in a game, so frustrating to wait for a few Oak Resin per week
any tips on how to get more Oak trees?
I have one more empty barn to fill

On my first Winter and just put together 80 quality sprinklers. Can't wait to start taking in the dough, I haven't even started in the Community Center. Planning on hitting that in year 2.
How many hours have you been playing?

Are you tapping the trees all around town? A great spot is all of the trees at the bus stop and north forest
e: also interested in seeing your farm layout love what you are doing with the storage buildings
Wow wtf, I'm around 50 too and so behind compared to you, for instance I only got like 300k overall so far, also that Energy bar is nuts, again wtf lol
...Could've sworn I tried that. -_- Thanks!

all my loli wolf companions are so moe
I'm still wondering if it's better for upgraded can or I should go sprinker
If we're talking about the first sprinkler, it only waters the spots above, below, left and right, which I think is pretty worthless. The next level one waters all 8 squares surrounding it, and the next one is waters one square further, for 24 spots total. I was planning on holding out until the last one, but that might be a while, so I think I'll start using the 8-square sprinklers once spring rolls around.

He used cheats at least for the energy bar, that thing can't get this big by normal gameplay.
And no I am not accusing, he admitted doing so in this thread and even gave an explanation how it works, still very impressive what he has done with the farm.

The latter.

Yeah, I feel like lv 1 sprinkler is crap compared to copper can which is 3 tiles watering in a single press, feels much more efficient
Lv 1 sprinkler is crap compared to the base can, let alone an upgrade. <_<
The only thing I miss from the PC version is modding. The mod where you can check the map to see where the villagers are located is very useful.
The latter. Literally like harvest moon

Are there cheats on the Switch version?
Yeah. The energy bar cheat he mentioned is one.

How do access these? I didnt know there were cheats

Didn't know either until it was posted. Here's the post.
this is my cheat file to test out cheats to see what works on Switch from the PC version, I did this by getting Stardrops from the naming trick
for example buy a chicken or cow and name it [434][645] you can use one number but I wanted to purchase 8 animals so the second number is an iridium sprinhkler.
as soon as the shopkeeper says the name of the animal you just purchased you get the items
if you want more go back to your barn and click on your animals to sell them and go back and buy new ones with new names, you can't buy 2 with the same name so use combo of numbers
a list of item numbers here
Warning: before you use this trick put any tool or sword away in a Chest at your farm because if you are carrying them sometimes they will turn into Stardrops and if you eat those goodbye Galaxy Sword

Interesting! Will check them out on a later playthrough. Will do this one vanilla.

That's pretty much it outside if random loot drops in the mines. If you have extra energy at the end of a day, just smack away at the beach and your farm

I am halfway through winter making slow bank on my artisan goods. I am now focused on giving every towns person a lifetime supply of mayonnaise in-between finally starting to fish. Those first 2 levels were ROUGH, Jesus.
I hope to be married come spring. I regret fucking up my gold star parsnips and melons spring/summer year 1 when I knew so little. Delayed my green house by a year. I have so many ancient fruit seeds ready to go. What else is recommended for the greenhouse?
Maybe 2 of each fruit tree so it's always in season for wine/pickling?
