Hoarding Tips?

I'm starting a new playthrough on the normal farm. Is there anything important I should try to get or save? I already harvested the seeds you get at the beginning. I forgot if I've sold them or not.

A great strategy for early game is to get Caroline to 2 :heart: (Forage and Gift Daffodils, speak to her each day) and she will send you the Tea Sapling recipe the day after after you visit her Tea Room and drink some of her hallucinogenic tea which I'm sure that Emily doesn't share after Workout Tuesdays. Tea Saplings sell for 500g each and will alleviate any early game g shortages. Just 2 Wild Seeds, 5 Fiber and 5 Wood to craft one.

Collect and save all the Fiber you can, and in early game there are a lot of places on the map you get Fiber from clearing out Weeds. Leave a Weed or 2 in each spot as that helps Weeds spread faster for future harvesting. The early levels in the Mines also have a lot of Weeds and you'll probably open those up at about the same time you get those :heart:s.

Thanks, I will keep it in my mind. By the way, I am a college student, I am not good at writing and I am looking for essay examples online I found this website https://writinguniverse.com/free-essay-examples/russia/ in this website I can see many essay examples which help me to improve my writing skills.
Thanks, I will keep it in my mind.

I just discovered the best reason to hoard random stuff: Qi's prismatic grange quest. Got it two weeks in a row and filled it both times with random stuff I had piled up over the years.
Nice. I just hoard stuff because I can - must collect all the things! And then store them in designated chests with signs arranged in my many sheds. :laugh:

(I wish my actual house was half as organised...)

This is one of the best hoarding strategies. Keeping Weeds, Salmonberries and Blackberries is half the quest done for things you get a ton of just grabbing as you pass by on your way to chillin' with Seb at the Lake or the Bear in the Secrit Woods. By the time I knew there was a Prismatic Grange quest, I had enough things stashed away to immediately finish the quest 5 times over.

Re: that quest

What are the strategies for stockpiling orange? Go hog wild mining for copper ore or plant a bunch of orange (or apricot, does apricot work?) trees on Ginger Island? Or maybe convert fish ponds to those with orange roe?

By the time this quest comes around, I usually have enough of all ores to fill those colours a couple of times. I like mining and I don't like crafting stuff, so it just piles up.

Orange fruits are too valuable to spend on the Priz Grange quest IMO. Plus, they are just soo ORANGE and round
that I simply cannot give their beautifulness to that horrid taskmaster for his sweet, sweet farm-enhancing trinkets. No, all he qualifies for is:

Copper Ore. Take this and begone! Earlier in game once you've upgraded your tools, there is less demand for Copper Bars. Plus, it smelts too fast for me to get anything else done and wayyy too fast for me to keep on top of it as smelting Copper Ore is very NotLazy. So the Ore piles up nicely.

Yellow - Sap. You have SOOOOOooooOOOOOooooO much Sap already. Just keep it for this quest.

That just leaves Purple. Bug Meat is my jam. Um, OK not really... I prefer my Bug Meat in Bug Steak form and not as a bagel schmear, but this stuff usually accumulates for me too. It's the one I usually run out of first, with Copper Ore being second.

Can you use bait instead of bug meat? Because if you can, then just craft five bait out of every bug meat and then you only need 20 bug meat to fill the quest.

Somehow, I have managed with exactly two furnaces and yet don't have a bottleneck for smelting anything other than iridium. This seems wrong.

Unfortunately Bait isn't something you can use because I tried! That was very disappointing but I comforted myself by Fishing in Cindersap and Leah was kind enough not to wake me while she painted.
