    Reached the bottom of the mine. It was a decent trek. Now I can mine for anything!

    Also, has anyone figured out what the fuck that creepy sound is on rainy days!?

    Homestead cave question:
    I'm thinking of making it a mushroom factory. Good idea, or is the fruit route better?
    I went with the mushrooms. I figured that down the line I'll have a bunch of each fruit tree, but mushrooms I'd have to harvest in the wild without that cave.

    It would be awesome if you could pay the Wizard to make it rain on your homestead.

    I normally wait for a rainy day being next to upgrade the can, if you water all the crops then give the can to the blacksmith you can get it back the day after the rain and not lose any crop progress.

    Keep checking the weather channel, and when it says it's going to rain tomorrow, upgrade the can. The rain takes care of the crops, and you can get the can back the day after.

    Just hit my first summer and went all in on corn. Had a fairy come and instantly grow some of my crops, so things are looking pretty good right about now.

    Oooh, got an ancient seed! From what I saw they grow in Spring, Summer and Fall. Even better, they keep regrowing their fruit after harvesting. I'll be planting that sucker on the first day of summer.

    No, the sounds frogs make are distinctly different than the creepy sound that sounds like a damn zombhost.

    No, okay, I have no idea, but that's what I've always assumed it was.

    It'd be awesome if the Wizard did anything. Got him to 10 hearts, and the only benefit you get is access to his basement at 5 hearts.

    While searching for how to attach bait to a rod I stumbled across a character/quest spoiler. But it's kind of funny.
    The quest to find the mayor's lost lucky purple shorts
    real spoiler:
    They're in Marnie's bedroom.

    Currently installing this game and I'm very excited to play it, since I'm a Harvest Moon fan (played Back to Nature on PSone). I've watched a couple of streams on Twitch and the music is amazing! I heard though that the entire game can be finished in 20 hours. To the people who've played it already, how true is that? I'm a bit worried that I'll finish it sooner than I want to.

    I'm somewhere around 20 hours and don't feel anywhere near "finished".

    Also it seems like there's at least a couple of different ways you can play it that encourage multiple playthroughs.

    I've put maybe 15 hours in and haven't even made it past the 2nd month. I'm nowhere near finishing my first game of it. Not to mention there's basically 2 completely different plots you could see if chose to be a corporate parasite instead of wholesome townsperson.

    Thanks for the info! I do like multiple endings. For me replayability makes it worth the money. Anyway, I doubt I can play for 20 hours straight. I would have to wait for the weekend D:

    I hope the wholesome ending lets me murder Morris and bury his body in one of my fields. That guy has it comin'

    So is there any point in talking to people if you don't have a gift for them? I know some HM games had conversation raise affinity but some had only gifts do that and I'm not sure which one side this falls under.

    Sometimes they say interesting things? Also they sometimes mention what they (or more often, someone else) likes to receive as gifts.

    They do gain affinity just by talking to them. It's much slower, of course, but it is there.

    Yeah but is what they have to say more interesting than the gold ore and blackberries I'm missing out on by talking to them? Probably not!

    Oh, I am going to drown penny in whatever shiny googaws she loves, and the next flower dance? She will be mine.

    Edit: two days before the last day of spring year one and I decide to get around to checking out whatever that cut rate Mandrake unlocked in the community center. Oh. I need to forage a bunch of crap in two days, craaaaaaaaaap. Made it just under the wire though!

    I do wish there was a little more characterization to some of the characters before you started to build up affinity with them.

    So far each one has had some depth beyond the superficial "I enjoy living here/I hate living here" layer so I'm curious about all the NPCs now but there's little that indicates some would be interesting to examine further and giving gifts to from the start.

    And then your reward is something you can only plant in the Spring anyway!

    At least it starts you off with a big pile of seeds. And the nice thing about forage items, is that while they don't sell super well, you can make your own seeds without having to buy them. Do they also take watering or have I been wasting my time tending to something which grows on its own in the wild?

    I'm finally starting to progress the plot, and THE WIZARD has been the dumbest but also best thing. I love that this is a serious down to earth farming game and then there's just A WIZARD.
