You'll likely find the same fossil again.

If you go back and load from the start of the day the Worms will be in the same place with the same rewards.
It's just random. Sometimes you get clay, sometimes you get a fossil, sometimes you get
something cool
How are the controls on this version? I tried playing it on PC at some point with an Xbox controller and I thought it controlled really awkwardly. I remember you had to control a mouse cursor with the analog stick for menu navigation. Felt really unintuitive and put me off from playing
You switch what items you have equipped with the shoulder buttons, you can navigate most menus with the d-pad or left stick. You do occasionally have to use the right stick as a cursor. I haven't found any other way to see the journal/active quests, haven't had to use it for anything else yet.

Still no analysis of the port it seems, shame.
Just buy it. Youll be too busy playing to look at any analysis!
Doesn't the minus button bring up the journal/quests?
Is there anything in particular you're curious about regarding the port?
It does

This game is like crack I swear. I played for nearly 15 straight fucking hours yesterday. This is the sequel to Harvest Moon: Friends of Mineral Town that Ive always dreamed of.
Already halfway through Summer and about to get my first farm upgrade. Fishing is so good.

Fuuuuuck that is insane! Lol. I thought I was crazy for playing danganrompa 3 for 8 hours straight a few days ago.
But yeah, I never invested much time on this on the PS4, but the switch handheld is such a perfect way to play this game.

How do I use fishing bait? I can't figure out which button to press/where to press it.

Use the pickaxe. Some rocks require you to hit them multiple times.
The initial fishing rod cannot use bait. The first upgraded fishing rod can definitely use bait, but I don't know which button would let you do that. I assume pick it up in your inventory and then hit A or Y while selecting the rod.

Thanks, I only have the first one, so that'll be why.

Same thing happened to me too. I'd spent all month wooing Emily and she asked someone else to dance. Made me want to stop worrying about towns people and do my own thing
It's close to impossible to make someone dance with you on year one. Don't feel bad!

Finally starting to get the hang of it...
Whose the bigger drunk? Pam or Shane? Lol
Its kinda insulting that the game starts you off with so little carrying space. Like this isn't Witcher 3. C'mon ;_;
Oh and Haley ignoring me? Lol
Ran into Elliot and I died laughing.
But am I starting to figure stuff out... kinda focused on making alotta money to grow then I'll get a girl.

Walk into town after 9am using the road next to your farmhouse a few days after the game starts. If it doesn't work on one day, just try a day or two more. An event will trigger with the mayor that kicks it off.

I think the best way to go about it early is to fish and mine for money and resources and upgrade your tools to copper first so it goes quicker.
Is the watering can the best first upgrade? Or would I be better off with the pickaxe/axe/fishing pole? I'm starting to get deeper into the mines (at 31 now), and it looks like I can make sprinklers soon once I get more iron, so I'm thinking of spending my money on something else first.
No
No
Fishing poles can't be upgraded. You can just buy a better one.
Upgraded pickaxe and axe are needed for getting rid of bigger stones and tree stumps.
I'd go with the watering can first, so you can water your plants a bit faster and spend the additional time for other activities.
Edit: The first sprinklers only water the top/down/left/right tiles.
Upgrade the watering can is much better than earlier sprinklers. Tier 1 sprinklers are not worth at all. Tier 2 are ok but the tier 3 are the real deal.
Yeah, that's what I meant with the fishing poles. And the sprinklers only water 4 tiles? lol, guess I'll go with the watering can.
Fishing is my favorite side activity in the game. I immediately bought the best poles to fish like a pro. If you spend a lot of time fishing, get a better pole
The first sprinkler type waters only 4 tiles, the second sprinkler waters 8 surrounding tiles, the third sprinkler waters 24 surrounding tiles.

I've just started the game and I'm completely new to this. Just started badly by not talking to everyone on the first day and falling asleep outside, losing 50 coins.
How much is the time passing a big deal in this game? I always feel stressed in these situations where time is constantly passing because I feel like I'm missing out on everything because I've been playing sub optimally and don't have a real plan.

I went into and out've sleep mode plenty of times with no audio bug after 4:34 so probably not that, unless its sleep mode while in game since I always press home and then sleep. I guess that's possible.

I triggered this and still have no clue what to do with it
I go inside a few days later in every room I find nothing I can interact with
You should have got a letter in the post giving you your next instruction...

I'd say there's nothing about the port that should deter anyone from buying it.
My impressions so far: it controls well in handheld mode, looks charming on the small screen and it's easy on the system's battery life.
There should be a note with a cryptic language on it in one of the rooms. Have you interacted with that yet?

Is your review already on YT? Still on the fence. I never play these kind of games but I'm very intrigued.

Still working on it! Codes only went out the day before release but I'm hoping to have it done by tomorrow.
