FIELD AND FORAGE PATTERN
- Spring 3:
	> 9 plots starting from the back left corner of the house (right to left in a row)
	> Till 3 plots+6 tiles, eat all Indigos and 2B Purples; finish 4th plot, till 2 plots, then 1 tile, eat remaining grasses; till the remaining 8 tiles+2plots, and sow all seeds
- Spring 4 (tutorial): 3 plots starting to the left of the weed above Taro; forage and eat all grasses then 2 more plots
- Spring 5: 5 plots towards the left along the bottom row (save 1 purple grass)
- Save before bed on Spring 4, reset to 1:01:45 (cloud), then sleep
	> The forage should be 2 purples, 1 indigo, 1 blue, AND THE SEAWEED
	> Buy 14 turnip seeds from Chen on your forage path
	> Till and plant 5 plots, going right to left, starting from the already tilled section on the bottom row
	> Eat 1 purple, 1 blue, 1 indigo, saving the other purple
- Save before sleeping on Spring 5, reset to 1:01:08, and sleep as follows: sleepx3, phonex2, sleepx1, phonex1, sleepx1, phonex2, sleepx1
- On Spring 11, after the Gannon CS, proceed to harvest, shipping enough turnips to cover the remaining seeds, replant all plots, and till+plant as many new plots as possible after foraging and seaweed
- Spring 11-17 weather should be cloud, cloud, clear, clear, rain, sun, rain

FORAGES
- Spring 3
	> Blue: 1A (+19), 2B (+19 ea)
	> Purple: 1A (+14), 2B (+13 ea)
	> Indigo: 1A (+17), 3B (+17 ea)
	> For some reason, one of the Indigo B's gives +16, unless combined in a stack with the other B's, in which case they all give +17
	> Do not combine A's with B's, or they will become B's (except Indigo, where they are all +17 regardless)
	> This gives a total of +165
	> Till 3 plots+6 tiles, eat all Indigos and 2B Purples; finish 4th plot, till 2 plots, then 1 tile, eat remaining grasses; till the remaining 8 tiles+2plots, and sow all seeds

SPRING
- Spring 3
	> Sell hammer, sickle, watering can, axe
	> Buy 24 turnip seeds (20G remaining)
	> Forage all grasses and seaweed
	> Till+plant 9 plots
- Spring 4
	> ACCEPT THE TUTORIAL
	> In the tutorial, equip hoe, seeds, and watering can, then till and plant 3 plots before talking to Taro to end the tutorial
	> Forage seaweed and grass; eat all grasses and till+plant 2 more plots
	> Ship both seaweeds
- Spring 5
	> Forage grasses and seaweed
	> Buy 14 turnip seeds from Chen
	> Till+plant 5 plots
	> Ship seaweed
	> Manip and sleep until Spring 11
- From here, no precision or manips are required
- Spring 11:
	> Till until nearly passed out (3 plots+4 tiles)
	> Forage 7 Indigo, 6 Blue, 5 Purple for a total of +299 (consider skipping seaweed)
	> Will need to eat some grasses while foraging in order to fit in the rucksack
	> Return to farm, harvest+ship 9 turnips
	> Till ~8-9 plots and plant all, including the harvested turnip plot (watch stamina, avoid working past 10pm)
- Spring 12
	> Forage, buy 16 turnip seeds from Chen, return and ship seaweed
	> Till+plant at least 6-7 today, 6 tomorrow, depending on how many planted on Spring 11 (need 21 total)
- Spring 13
	> Forage, then till and plant remaining seeds until 18 seeds remain
	> Harvest all turnips, plant remaining seeds, and ship before bed
- Begin gifting Julia from Spring 14, getting seaweed everyday as well
- Begin harvesting on Spring 18 (probably takes two days)

SUMMER-WINTER
- Gift Julia everyday, foraging on Saturdays and the 30 of each season
- Try and make sure that you have enough flowers stored up by winter that you don't miss too many gifting days
- Julia seems to have a chance to lose 100 affection after three days of not talking, and another 100 for subsequent days
- Gift on Winter 14, then wait until 8am to enter the house to get the Winter Thanksgiving (+1000 for Julia)
- Aim to get Julia to a green heart (30000 AP) by Winter 23 and invite her to Starry Night
- On Winter 24, you cannot enter Julia's house until 6pm for the dinner; thus, you should likely do various tasks, such as mining or fishing. The former would require you to unlock the mine by this point, which would unlock the festival area, which would start triggering festival reminders, and it is also a bit too early for Sabrina to move in, so fishing is likely better.
- Starry Night is +2000 for Julia
- Test if you need to have unlocked the Goddess for the Goddess festival
















ROUGH OUTLINE
- Till and plant roughly 17 turnip plots on Spring 3-5, using grasses for the necessary stamina
- Ship seaweed on Spring 3-5 as well
- Use the seaweed money to buy more turnip seeds on Spring 5
- On Spring 5, save before sleeping, then set up second manip
- Sleep until Spring 12
- On Spring 12, harvest all turnips, and on Spring 12-14, till and plant ideally 37 more turnip plots
	> First round of turnips will sell for 301 apiece
	> Harvesting+planting will take all day, so make sure that you ship some turnips (maybe 2 plots' worth) before 5pm
	> You will need to buy any remaining necessary seeds on Spring 13 before finishing the second round of planting
	> For reference, seaweed appears to sell for approximately 853G; total seaweed earnings seem to reach about 20kG (Y1 spring and the few fishing days from Y2 spring)
- Start gifting Julia from Spring 12
- Harvest and ship turnips when ready, obtaining the remaining money from seaweed and all fish caught for Denny+Lanna (primarily large fish from the beach)
- Once money is obtained, start upgrading the house/town and doing all the social stuff
