I went with the shrooms.
Oh hey, you can deposit items at the community center one at a time, doesn't have to be the entire bundle. Makes keeping track of things less of a hassle.
Also if you're half blind like me, not all CC bundles need all the items, some want like 5 of 8 or 2 of 4. Didn't look too close before. So nice not having to get 99 slime drops.

yeah... I may have been past floor 80 in the dungeon and gone through the hell of getting all the possible stuff for that bundle before realizing I could've completed it way earlier -.-

Is there a way to rename my cat?
Dont worry, maybe is super difficult to find them, so dont fret. And thanks for the help
So far I haven't seen them. I'll keep looking.
I learned that crows also eat maturing flowers -.-
Were the 8 surrounding tiles free all the time?
Go to %appdata%\StardewValley\Saves, back up your save folder, open your file in a text editor and search for your pet's name, change it. I've helped people with a couple minor changes/fixes related to the save files today haha. That should work, but that's something I haven't personally tried.

Thanks
It just turned summer and now my potatoes turned yellow? Are they useless now?
Most crops only survive one season, yeah. Corn is one exception as it lasts through both summer and fall.

..wait, so if you plant stuff in the last few days of Spring, it won't carry over to Summer? It will just instantly be destroyed?
No way. NO WAY. I just spent like 5000 gold planting fields of califlower on the last day of Spring as it specifically says "plant in Spring".
If my entire crop is lost I'm fucking uninstalling this game.
I got bad news for you...
yikes, it takes some balls to do that.
I read it as 'only grows in spring', so you gotta time it to ripen before the end of the month.
I should probably ask, how many days are there each season in the game? 31?
Ouch. I guess the seed descriptions are badly worded, but I still assumed that something I'm told to plant in Spring probably wouldn't grow in the Summer. I guess this is your first farm game?
28 days per season.
I'm sorry but I did laugh.
The game is really addictive, hopefully he expands upon it with more content.
This is something I was going to do in a second, so... I feel for ya, but also thanks for making the mistake lol. Would have also thought they'd survive.
I feel like I might be struggling, or not really playing optimally... It just seems difficult to really generate a big lump of money for upgrades.
I'm midway
through my first summer, only planting blueberries as I'm pretty sure they're the most cost effective, and fishing in my down-time, but I've only got about 3k to my name. I've not upgraded the house at all, don't have the back-pack upgrade. One sprinkler, two scarecrows, two preservers, a furnace and a beehive.
Not upgraded any of my tools, about 15 floors down in the mine...
I don't know. I'm really enjoying the game, which is the main thing, but I just feel like I'm not being as efficient as I could be. Like I'm missing something obvious.

Shit
okay, another thing I could really use advice on.. I'm on my 22nd day of spring and like... watering takes forever. like seriously it takes me until 1-130 to finish just watering the crops. There has to be a better way. I see there are sprinklers but those only apparently water the four adjacent tiles, which seems suuuuuuuper limited and almost pointless. I also don't have iron yet. are there any quicker ways to do this? It's killing the joy of farming for me
edit: it also uses ALL of my energy. fffff.
You eventually get sprinklers that water all around it. Just make sure to keep all your Quartz you find.
I think you just gotta keep your farming small scale until you have the abilities/levels/tools to support larger quantities. That's, I assume, the progression the game intends to deliver. I don't think it wants a player to be managing three 15x15 megafields in their first Spring as a newcomer.
I got myself in a bit of a situation early in Summer with a huge field (192 farmable tiles) and I then realised afterwards that just watering the damn thing took up around 150% of my daily max stamina. This was before I found the 'stamina replenish' location. I butchered my entire supply of snack bars and seeds maintining that crop to harvest, and it was nooooot fun either. Now I'm taking things more leisurely, making sure to work on the Mine until I can access the iron needed to make sprinkers.
Oh, one question about sprinklers. It says "four adjacent tiles." Is that right? Just left, right, up, down? I want sprinklers that water the eight adjacent tiles, so with diagonals included.

8 tiles one is next tier up. I got one as a reward from the community center IIRC.

Theres space after that spirnkler in the crafting menu. I really hope we get one even bigger than the 8 tiles, so i can even put less of them.
Bums. Okay.
I assume that sprinkler tiers aren't upgrades, but discrete items that have to crafted separately? So if I'm not interested in a 4-tile sprinkler, I should just not craft any and save resources? Or can I spend resources on the T1s and then bump those up to T2 later?

Guys, im afraid I will not be able to finish Haley's portrait today as I need to do stuff this afternoon. Very sorry for promising it today. Will try to get it done for tomorrow.
YAS!
Im afraid of the cost now lol The 8 one is already expensive.
Dont spend, the 4 one is stupid, and the iron ores are better spent in other things.

Be glad we don't have to care about soil rotation.
Or disease randomly wiping out our fields/parts of our fields if we don't catch almost impossible to notice signs early enough to get rid of the source.

Or chickens dying because they fell over and suffocated to death.
I upgraded my coop to hold 4 animals and bought 4 ducks immediately. I'm constructing an additional silo to prepare myself for winter, because I'd like to buy some cows then. I'll also plant some fruit trees in winter. In spring I'm going to reduce my crops by ~40 to have ~100 left. This should leave me with a good amount of income and more time to handle the cows every morning.
I'm gathering ancient seeds that I'll try to plant in the spring to come. From the fruit I'll try to make wine which should net a lot of money. (I hope so)
Edit: I'm curious if the already planted crop by one of those seeds will surive into winter. It survived the switch from summer to fall.
Edit2: I pet my cat and fill her bowl every day and I expect to see a heart someday next to her icon in the menu. I got an info text that popped up today: "Sarah (the cat) loves you". Still no heart.

So far I didn't have any problems with my animal, though I still only have one chicken and I always forget to buy another.

Im way too rich. I miss the early day struggles 
IMO, Pierre shouldn't sell infinite seeds. They should be limited. That way, we can't always buy the best and most profitable thing and reap like mad.
I am excited for this mod that adds pesticide and disease. It's too easy to grow crops.

Is there a way of knowing what a growing crop is, apart from memorising what every plant looks like (which is impossible for me)?
I wish I could click on something or hover over it and it would tell me what plant that is (if there's a way to see this in game, then I totally missed it).

There isn't I believe, I usually keep this open if I forget what I planted:

Am I the only person who has two cats? I think my game bugged out early on, and I now have a cat clone chilling in my farm.
The 'stray animal' cutscene played twice for me, I thought it was on purpose but I can't see anything else about it online.

There are some crops that are supposed to be available at Pierre's store, but I don't have them in my game? Like the red cabbage in summer, garlic in the spring etc...
Do they unlock later?

Yeah, that happened to some after patch 1.02 (I think). He added a fix for those who didn't get a pet at all, but for some it meant getting two.
Yes, they unlock in year 2.
I imagine some are streaming but it's not really a game that's going to get a big reaction out of an audience. It's too slow paced and long.
Just word of mouth, good game, and serving an ignored audience for the most part. I mean, not only have PC gamers been clamoring for a title like this, but really even most core gamers that might prefer consoles or handhelds don't have a lot of options for the genre these days. 3DS gets the games but even then a lot of them are in a downward trend quality wise.
I think a big part of it, along with Undertale last year, is it priced itself well too.
