Spring: parsnips to strawberries
Plant the free parsnips, convert everything into potatoes, and spend the first two weeks fishing for festival capital. On day 13 buy strawberries with every coin at the Egg Festival. Craft a few chest-loads of sprinkler materials and finish the spring Community Center bundles. Target: 15,000–30,000g banked by summer.
Summer: the blueberry engine
All-in blueberries on day 1 of summer, plus a melon block for bundles. Build your first quality sprinklers (Farming 6 arrives around now) to automate the field. Buy the first coop and chickens — daily eggs diversify income between harvests. Target: 50,000g+ and a barn permit.
Fall and winter: cranberries, pumpkins, machines
Cranberry fields plus a pumpkin block in fall; complete the fall bundles for the greenhouse. Winter is artisan season: process the stockpiled crops in jars and kegs, mine for sprinkler metals, and prepare next spring’s starfruit and ancient fruit money. Year two starts with the greenhouse online — from there the curve goes vertical.
