New Any% Cake Contest Notes (Gina Route)
[Updated 6 Jan 2024]

- Goddess Questions: NEGATIVE
- Spring 2:
	> Must get a weed by the time you reach Katie
	> Fill the watering can then till 10 tiles, throwing away all minerals
	> Forage at the Villa, and intro+gift Gina (weed intro if you got a weed at the Villa)
	> Do part-time work, brushing cow and all horses (+170G)
	> Go to Flower Shop and sell until 300G, then buy 10 corn seeds
	> Forage on the way to the cafe
	> Enter the cafe, weed intro+gift Katie, then exit and re-enter for CS1
	> Re-enter again and show Katie the weed 5 times, then throw away the weed
	> Head back to the farm and plant and water all corn seeds
	> GET THE RECIPE WHEN YOU ENTER THE HOUSE
- Water corn everyday; harvests will be on Spring 12, 16, 20, and 24
- Gift Gina on Spring 3, 6, 10, 13, 24*, 27*; Summer 1*, 4*, 8, 11 (* = dry season, no risk of rain)
- Goddess Dress CS1 will trigger on Spring 4
- If 1-2 rainy days on Spring 3/6/10/13, it must be made up by getting a lucky no-rain on Spring 17 and/or 20, else reset
- After gifting on Summer 11, sleep until Summer 14 (rain on Summer 14 = reset)
- Summer 14:
	> Sell corn at Ronald's
	> Wait outside cafe and enter at noon sharp
	> Head to Villa; enter and gift+talk Gina one last time, then exit/re-enter for cutscene
	> Buy cow and chicken, then buy the milker
	> Head to cafe and enter by 5pm
	> Wait at Goddess Pond until Moondrop Dew cutscene
	> Back at the farm, put cow out to pasture, and put chicken in front of your house before sleeping
	> Sleep until Fall 24, exit house and skip the second Goddess Dress cutscene
- Start checking cow and chicken for golden egg/milk every day as long as it's not cloudy
- Mondays are Fall 25, Winter 2, and Winter 9, so don't try to go to the cafe to finish the ending on those days
- Once you have obtained both golden items, head to cafe on a non-Monday, give both to Katie, then enter cafe at noon; this will trigger a failed cake cutscene, so exit/re-enter once more to get the successful cake cutscene
- Head home, sleep a week, then exit to complete the ending (if animal death, skip cutscene and sleep once more to finish)
