Early access to spa

[dundalol]

The spa gives HP and energy for free. in the begining of the game you have very limited means of getting HP (unless you are following a strat, ie, max fishing). On top of that, the spa is mostly useless when you get it.

Then, I think it would be a good idea that the spa should be available since the beginning of the game.

Maybe mid Spring? It does feel nice when it finally opens.
The place isn't that useful, as people would need to walk there to be healed, and those not using mods, cannot stop or slow down time.
So walking there would take more time than eating some early found forages.
Heck, let more forage spawn there, so we can get more healing in the beginning of the game.
Even if it's just Dandelion+Spring Onion(Spice Berry, Wild Plum and Snow Yam in their seasons), which are the least useful for gifting(and Spring Onions don't heal as much)... balance?
Maybe the train station would be used, and some trashcan being added which could contain some weak healing, like Field Snack that people don't like, and throw away there.
Then both algae that no one likes.
Just an idea to make that place a bit more useful.
