Playing for the first time.

[tr0pical]

So i started playing Stardew Valley today, i go thru the intro, i wake up in bed the next day and i recieved some parsnip seeds. I go outside and wanted to clean up the yard a little before planting the seeds. When i go outside, i see this box to the left of the house, and i'm like oh cool, a storage box. Little did i know that stuff you put in there disappears xD

looks like you've discovered the shipping bin haha,in the cutscene lewis mentions that if you keep items in the shipping bin, he'll collect it at night and you'll earn gold for the items you sell!

One of the great things about games is when I miss something I immediately stop playing and replay the thing I missed. So I got what the Shipping Bin was all about on the second try. I may or may not have been distracted by the cutscene carpenter...

If you click on the shipping bin, you can get the last thing you put in back. Only on the same day though.

I've seen this happen a lot so don't fret, it's quite commonplace with new players, seeing how it isn't all too dissimilar from a chest.

If you do want something for storage, you can craft actual chests with 50 wood, you have to enter your menu and press the tab with the little hammer which opens the crafting menu to see the recipe.

Confusing the shipping bin with a chest? No, I did not do that, though I can understand the mistake.

But on a similar level during my first walkthrough, I got the message from Evelyn saying that crops will die at the end of each season and that I should plan accordingly. I was like "isn't this obvious? I did not need an mail for telling me that..."

And guess what? Yes. You guessed right.

I read that letter, but did not pay attention to the fact that a season has 28 days. I think I thought a month has 30 or 31 days, so a season should have 30 or 31 as well.

I also thought spring had 30 days, and meticulously planted cauliflower to mature on day 29 - I always planned to have one day of leeway in case something went wrong.
