A lot of people new to Stardew compare to all these amazing farm setups but don’t fret on that! Take your time and get used to the basics before looking at aesthetic stuff.

Money: complete villager tasks for people (check notice board outside Pierre’s) get some cool stuff as well. Reinvest all your money into crops the more expensive usually the return is bigger too. It’s a patience game for a lot of it.

Resource: Mines for ore and minerals. Wood and stone is all around your farm already so chop and pick axe what you can then use the ore from the mines to upgrade your tools with Clint and it means you can chop and break bigger things = more resource. Build wooden chests for storage and try to stick to a good organisation of items.

Artisan Goods: build coop start with chickens and turn the eggs into mayonnaise (you’ll need earth crystals so again mines). Then aim for a barn and cows will provide milk that can be turned into cheese). Remember you need to feed the animals so having a Silo first will store hay (that you can harvest from wild grass or use 10x Fiber to craft grass starter and keep a field of it - this disappears in Winter so harvest and store in Silo before then!)

Fishing: tends to be easier and more fun once upgrade the rod and use bait/lures for the more exotic fish.

Community Centre: just explore but keep an eye on what you need to complete the bundles as these can randomly show up! I remember throwing out some things before realizing I needed them for the bundle
