I've played off and on since the game released on Switch. I started a new game when 1.6 came out because I'm silly and didn't realize Switch hadn't updated yet. By the time I was thinking, "Isn't there supposed to be green rain?" I was already far enough I didn't want to stop.
My year 1 goes pretty good in my opinion, though I'm still not quite good enough to get the greenhouse reliably. (I forgot I needed **5** high quality melons until it was too late!) But I got all my tools upgraded to gold, got through the mines, and actually beat my last farm's income level. I spent a lot of Spring finishing up some projects like having enough sprinklers and getting a handful of pigs.
Now I'm at the part where I know I need iridium. And this is where I stall. I feel like I just can't make a dent in the Skull Cavern. There's no way I can get down to floor 40 unless I invest a ton of money into bombs and food. I want to spend that money on building upgrades. I'm squishy and can't handle the monsters. So I hem and I haw and I waste days. I can't remember what I did at this point in my last game. I had a Greenhouse then but I know that doesn't lead to any better combat tech.
What do you do to gear up for your first trip to the Skull Caverns? This is the part of SV I do the worst in. Also keep in mind I'm still playing 1.5 on Switch, so don't suggest any 1.6 goodies!
