A walkthrough of year one, step by step.

Where you are

Each room remembers its own place. Moving here does not touch the others.

Early spring

Your first three days

The collected Getting Started page: Lewis left a gift in the house. Plant what he handed you. Water every planted tile each morning. The existing farm walk already says the same thing — clear only the tiles you will plant, not the whole farm. Debris waits. Daylight is the scarce thing. 1. Use the gift in the house. Clear only the tiles you will plant. A clean farm is not the first job. 2. Water every planted tile each morning before you leave. A skipped watering costs a growth day. 3. Chop a few trees as you go. Almost every later upgrade asks for wood. Do not spend the morning on rocks you do not need. 4. Ask already has that first-week card. This room will not rewrite that script. This room will not dump a Meadowlands script. Walk the farm you were handed. Gifts and romance live on the People tab.

Heads up. Most people burn their first week clearing the whole farm. It looks productive and costs you the planting season.

The ask box follows you between rooms. Hit a wall on the farm, ask. Hit one on a romance path, ask. Same conversation.
