What has been your biggest mistake in Stardew Valley?

[poinapel]

Personally, it was when I accidentally put 30,000 gold worth of truffles into the trash can.

 

[Aine]

I accidentally sold all the tree saplings I just had bought. And then couldnt afford the same amount, Pierre became rich that day.

Waiting too long to start playing.

Oh! in-game. Donating my first Prismatic Shard to the Museum. I did not see a second one for another 3 saves and almost 200 hours.

Just remember you can re-do any day by quitting to title before 2:00am. I did not know about the game's save strategy with King Prismatic Shard the First.

Putting a huge (and I mean huge) batch of fairy rose honey, not once but twice into kegs for mead... Oh man so dumb.

Donating my dino egg to the museum *shudders*

 

[Lorekeeper]

I donated my dinosaur egg, not knowing I could hatch it. I still resent doing that to this day, even a handful of years later.

 

[One More Day]

Definitely my biggest mistake was downloading it.

Several years, thousands of hours and hundreds of farms later, here I am....

 

[Lemon_Stone]

Recently, in my excitement of reeling in a dinosaur egg, I completely forgot that you actually had to click the egg in order to put it in your inventory. Needless to say, I clicked OK without clicking the egg first, and ended up losing it. Even worse, I haven't found another dinosaur egg on that file since this incident. I'm hoping to get one from a pepper rex soon.

I had a chance to buy a duck feather in the merchant cart when it was the only thing left I needed in the dye bundle. I also think I have a tendency to pay more for the fruit sapling at the cart then I would have otherwise spent at pierres.

I usually either forget to water my crops or feed the animals (pre-deluxe coop or barn), especially when it's a "good luck day" and I'm trying to go fishing or mining as soon as possible.

mine was I forgot to take food to the mines

 

[Boo1972]

I accidentally blew up part of my farm and failed to notice I had destroyed my crystalarium. It took me 2 in-game days to notice, too late to swap to a previous save. That was a huge loss in year 1 of a foraging based farm.

 

[MagnificentMage]

Sorry, but how does one accidentally blow up their farm?

 

[Person090]

Sorry, but how does one accidentally blow up their farm?

I've done it before, accidentally switched to a bomb for the mines and blew up my crystalorium

 

[Zaphira]

There might be little mistakes here and there, but not much hurts like donating the prismatic shard to the museum before getting the sword in the desert. But that was a while ago and I never did it again. ;)

I did it exactly like Person090- I was heading to the mines and didn’t notice I had clicked on a cherry bomb when I stopped to check the mail box. I also once blew up my living room while gathering bombs for the mine- fortunately there was nothing of value in my house. I might have a problem.

 

[Lorelei]

I filled my greenhouse with tea saplings... couldn’t get to any and wasted over a year’s worth of forage

 

[BlueFlash]

I donated a dinosaur egg without knowing I can hatch it :(( I hunted like crazy for Peppy Rex and they aren't being generous...>_> but I finally got one :) when fishing and apparently, it didn't take me long. Talk about luck xD

 

[Jack Of Shades]

Telling myself I'm not addicted to this game.

 

[Chililover]

I didn't know how at the time but, not backing up my save on my iPad :(. It died and I had to start over.
major bummer lol !
