Tips for 1.5

Hi everyone! I'm a seasoned Stardew player, but for anyone who's gone a couple of years since the 1.5 update hit, what are your tips for creating a new game in 1.5? Is it different than before?

Are you starting new or continuing an old save?

For new saves:

- remember the beach map has limited space for sprinklers. Since I don't plant a lot usually, I didn't mind. You can fit 8 sprinklered fields on it.

- if you remix the bundles, remember to check regularly if you need different stuff. Especially if you have done the regular bundles a couple of times and remember them.



For late game:

- stockpiling some of your favorite greenhouse seeds, and different gems as well as prismatic shards could be worth it

- some of the quests require a bit of preparation (stockpiling cooking ingredients, planting mahagony trees, having a couple of chicken or ducks...) while others require you to work fast and dedicate farming space and time to the completion of a quest.

There are some quality of life stuff you should maybe look into. For example when opening a chest there is a button to the side that lets you put only the copies of the stuff you have in your inventory into the chest. Example: If you have 1 stone, wood, sap, clay in your inventory and you open a chest that already has stone, wood, and clay and press that button, then the stone wood and clay from your inventory would go into the chest and you'd still have the sap in your inventory because it wasn't already in the chest.

Robin now has a telephone for sale. That has some useful features (and some unique ones too). If you're the type to buy the calendar from her I also recommend getting it.

You can also now check the Community Center bundles from anywhere. And when you get an item you still need for the CC. It'll pulse the CC icon when you hover over it in inventory.

Most other things are similar enough it doesn't matter too much, or you should experience for yourself. Some price changes and weapon balance things etc.
