Stardew Valley
- There is no time deadline; you don't have to min-max!
- The alternative to the community center just involves buying the upgrades with cash.
- You might want to look up NPC schedules and what gifts they like/dislike, since finding people can be kind of a pain.
- Once you get access to the Community Center, look up the available bundles and start storing items that will satisfy them.
- Don't forget that you can sell by throwing items in the storage container by the house. Not all items can be dumped there though, some need other vendors. There doesn't seem to be a price difference for where you sell items.
- Quests get posted outside of Pierre's periodically. Don't go out of your way unless the reward is really good, but some of them are very easy to satisfy.
- Some decisions are permanent: you can't move buildings after you've placed them, and once you advance your skills enough (to levels 5 and 10) you choose specialties for them. I'd recommend looking up the effects, since the level 10 skill choices depend on what you chose at level 5.
