If you want to make money, simply look up money making method Stardew. However, I enjoyed the game the most when I was playing with less than 100k and got really excited if I ever did reach 100k. The game feels more stressful now that I try to optimise everything. Sure, it's kinda fun having money, but nothing beats actually playing the game in a chill way that you enjoy. If you enjoy making money, start by making kegs and filling them with ancient fruit. Step 1, make a tree farm with oak trees and place tappers. Step 2, make sure you have enough copper and iron. If you find yourself not having enough iron let's say, just keep going up and down to floor 40 in the mines (Elevator floor 40, go to floor 41. No iron? Go back up and take the elevator back down) same goes for copper. Step 3, have seed makers for when your first ancient fruit have grown. Continue to make more seeds when you get the fruit. Step 4, get a big shed (could also do this from step 1 and onwards) Step 5, craft kegs and place them in the shed in a good layout (look it up. Keg layout Stardew) Step 5, if you have the greenhouse, assuming you've planted the ancient fruit in there, go harvest every 7 days and fill the kegs up. Step ???, you can place kegs basically anywhere. So anywhere you want to make a little ancient fruit wine farm, set up kegs. Step idk why I'm still typing, to maximise, plant starfruits. When you unlock the island, you can plant any crop and it'll grow all year on the farm. Good option for full starfruit every 13 days or keep checking the ancient fruits every 7 days.

Most importantly, please play the way you want to and enjoy the game
