Ah nuts I just started Summer. Might have a few saved.
I don't have any fruit trees yet. Started growing an apple tree but it's taking ages.
Summer music is best music. So upbeat and happy!
The script in this game is not very diverse. Perhaps the game's biggest shortcoming IMO.

As great as stardew valley is there are some emersion breaking moments where you're reminded one dude made the game.
More data on my fridge crash! I started that day again and, I'm pretty sure, did all the same stuff except for not using the kitchen in any way, and it saved fine. But I still had a quest to give someone some sashimi, so the next day I risked it. I already had a fish in my personal inventory, and the recipe used that instead of my storage. Then... I accidentally gave it to the wrong person. Back to the kitchen.
After I made the second sashimi, with fridge fish this time*, I went back to the fridge and auto-sorted the contents... and that left a mysterious empty slot between two of the items! So I hit the auto-sort button again, and it put things in some slightly different order, and the empty slot went away. I pushed it a few more times but never got the empty slot again. Since then, I've added a few more items to the fridge, and auto-sorted after adding new types of items and not bothering when just adding more to an existing stack, and the game saves just fine on this pattern.
*EDIT: I forgot to mention, the fish it used was one I had only one of (a silver star carp). I guess that's the slot the game was preserving on the first auto-sort.
EDIIT: That may be why it also occurs when people leave their tools to be upgraded? If that's happened to you, did you notice whether that inventory slot stayed empty when you went to sleep, or anything like the above? Try auto-sorting a couple of times.

Ohh wow! thanks for this !
With the depth of content on display elsewhere in the game, I think it just highlights what the dev's priorities were and what his skills are. It is a shame though, as it makes socializing not that rewarding. My favourite moment so far was
playing Journey of the Prairie King with Abigail.

keep your chests and fridges sorted and you should be fine, it seems.

Take all of your coins and bet it on the spinner game. Bet on green. Just keep betting half your money until you have enough to buy everything at the store
Just Haley being Haley.
I married Penny. I have a type. Good thing I didn't marry my type in real life

It is truly random.
Later in the game
you can get an object that will force it to be rainy the next day.
Do the actual event and win. You will get 1000 coins, then you can bet them to win more
I actually won all my coins to buy all the items from the fishing game. It took an hour. I then proceeded to finish the judging event and won the 1000 star coins but at that point, they were useless to me because I had bought every item already..

Pro tip:
The "Green" part of the betting wheel has a 75% chance of winning. If you win the event first, and then place 50% of your earnings on green each time you'll have all the points you need to buy everything in way under 5 minutes.
Yeah, the fishing sucks though. I managed to get ~400 coins from one go, and then ~140 for the rest... before it glitched out on me when I tried to cancel a poor rod and the gmae got stuck with me standing there aimlessly. Then I restarted and found out about the above =P
Seems easy enough to avoid until the patch hits.
Well there you go then. Wonder when this patch is coming out.

Started the game since last week. Did as much of everything as I can during first spring, which may have been a rookie mistake on my part, but a learning experience. Halfway through, I got a proper rhythm down and managed to prioritize what to do and how much, mostly depending on weather.
Now it's Summer, and I made a modest field with all of the available seasonal crops, with Blueberries being the focus. Got enough materials to make tappers, recyclers, furnaces and a couple of preservatives.
I also made a couple of sprinklers and set up a few flowers with two bee houses for honey. I definitely want to get better sprinklers to lessen the time/energy needed to do the watering myself.
I can show a picture of the place later.

choosing between Mushrooms and Fruit Bats for that one cavrle. I chose the former; was that the wrong call?

Mushrooms as you can't grow them on your farm the way you can fruits on trees/in the green house. Mushrooms also spawn a lot more frequently where as fruit bats are pure rng.

Are those improved copper tools worth it?
I thought about getting a better pickaxe.

be a betting man
green has a 75% chance of winning. give yourself enough room to double up if you lose.
Yes. The updated water can is essential, and the others will help a lot too.

Why is it essential?

It helps salving energy and time to do other things instead of spending hours watering crops everyday. You can do without it if you want, but it is a very, very good investment nonetheless.
Specs:
Copper = Water 3 tiles
Iron = Water 5 tiles
Gold = Walter 9 tiles
Iridium = 18 tiles.

Watched reviews and Im not sure if Id like this game. Its cheaper than I thought itd be so Im tempted. I also heard theres some things you should do early on in the game to make it better or easier? I actually dont know much about this game beyond that its highly regarded and Im open to trying it out.
Me too. The farming in RF4 was the most deep and involving in the genre so far. If they just had sprinklers and/or trenches like Tale of two towns, it would be amazing.

Thanks guys!
I think Ill improve the pickaxe first to get enough cole and copper.

don't forget to press and hold the button to get the benefit
I forgot to do this until Iridium level
also put pavement under you sprinkler so you don't dig them up when charging hoe
Holy shit.

It will take forever to 100% it blind because the events repeat only once per year, and some have very specific requirements that by trial and error will take forever to figure out
Okay, I guess the question is -
Is this game like Animal Crossing where its real time?
Is this game like Minecraft where its open ended?
More Minecraft than Animal Crossing.
It's not real time like animal crossing. Each ingame day is like 15 minutes IRL.
You can go on forever if you want but it's not as open as minecraft. If you miss something there's always next year.There are people on youtube who are in year 40 or something.
There's dungeon crawling-lite but it's not game over if you die.
Awesome. I guess the question is - Im really looking to just relax and play - is it possible to relax and play if I play blind or will it be impossible/frustrating?
I will say that with Minecraft - its kinda impossible to play if you dont know crafting recipes.
Don't worry. It's not nearly as open ended as Minecraft. It's very relaxing and, while you might not be super efficient in the beginning by going blind, ultimately it doesn't matter. You will discover stuff by yourself just by playing the game, which is part of the fun.

When you buy a big coop or a big barn does it automatically replace your current one or do you need space for a second bigger barn?

Lol same. I thought the event ended after you were judged.
