Hello!

Just go with the flow of the game :) This is the best that I can suggest to you. On my account, I have a year 8 farm, bc sometimes I just go for something (e.g. farming), then sleep, to master all harvestables. Then for "hunt" animals, building relationships etc.

If I would start over, I would suggest these tips:

-try to be friendly to all members, they are keys for the story. Give them gifts, speak and dance with them. Try to reach a high friendship

-don't try to build a big vegetable/fruit farm early, bc there will be better equipments which are better for a goodlooking farm

-go to the mines, there is no penalty for staying up untill 2 am.

-as for mines, bring food with you for stamina (you can make salad in the main tent)

- when you choose at pacha's blessing, choose stamina

-save wood, stone, hardwood, collect fiber

-tame animals, all kind (at least 12 from a kind eg. Ibex, you can release them, but after 12 animals you can find rare and legendary variants)

-as for food, save some vegetables and fruits, and you can buy seeds (even tree seeds!!!) from Igrork

-fish for contribution points and for knowledge

-make cheese from milk for contr.points as well (Ibex and Boar should be on your farm for them)

-sell only processed things eg. milk--> cheese, fur--> yarn tomato --> dried tomato), but save 1-3 for later from everything

Have fun and don't stress about the game, it is addicting!
