l’m brand new to SDV and I keep getting overwhelmed because I don’t know how/where to start and panic as soon as the clock starts ticking. Do you have a guide or tips getting through the start of the game?

    On the first day especially l’m not sure how much I’m supposed to clear, how much l’m supposed to forage, who I’m supposed to meet, and I’ve gotten lost on the way home and passed out more times then I care to admit.

      There is a map for seeing where you are and the farm is. Most things are east of the farm.

      Don’t worry to much about meeting people quickly. Just say hi to any villager you don’t recognize.

      Don’t think about it in terms of how much you are supposed to plant, forrage, etc. Decide what you want to do and work on that.

      For farming don’t till soil you aren’t planting. Unplanted soil has a chance to revert overnight. Plant how much you can afford both in cost of seeds and time / energy watering the crops.

      A good general day is to get up water crops, harvest, and replant. Then think about what would improve your game the most and do that.

      Need storage chop some trees for chests. Need energy forrage. Need better tools or sprinklers hit the mines for ore. Need cash fish or plant crops.
