Story of Season: A Wonderful Life Tips
Looking for Story of Season: A Wonderful Life tips? One of the biggest differences between the old Harvest Moon games and the new Bokujo games is that they truly don’t make ‘em like they used to. Some of your farm sim assumptions won’t hold up here, and while A Wonderful Life is more of a spiritual successor than a remake, there are still some definite early pitfalls that players should avoid.
A Wonderful Life is best experienced at a relaxed pace. However, it is recommended to take a few early precautions to make the most of your first few seasons in Forgotten Valley, especially if you're a long-time fan.
Take Great Care of Your Cows
In most farm life sims, livestock are like a secondary crop; they just need feeding once in a while and they’ll produce resources you can sell. In A Wonderful Life, cows are much more like a primary crop. In fact, they’re the only crop you have in the early days, so taking good care of them is crucial.
Your cows have a health bar and a heart rating in the menu. Failure to feed and care for them properly will cause them to lose health, resulting in poor quality milk. To avoid this, make sure to provide them with proper food and regularly check their status in the menu. The milk bottle icon beside each cow indicates their readiness for milking. For maximum yield, milk each cow twice a day.
Managing multiple cows may seem like a chore, but the effort pays off when they start producing more milk than you can sell, allowing you to make cheese.
How to Make Cheese
Making cheese is one of the earliest and most beneficial upgrades for your farm. To make cheese, you need to buy the cheese press from Van the merchant for 3,000 gold. It is recommended to purchase the cheese press as soon as possible on the third day of Spring.
Remember that you cannot sell cheese for more than you paid for the press. While waiting for Van to restock, you can sell items yourself at the center of town to earn money from fishing. The fishing rod is another important early purchase.
Early Money-Making Tools
The fishing rod, which costs 500 gold, is another early expenditure. Since Van won't arrive for several days, selling fish at the center of town is a helpful way to make money.
Additionally, don't ignore the archeology site set up by Carter and Flora behind Vesta’s farm. Spending time digging there may take a chunk of your day, but finding and selling old items can help you afford early expenditures in your first season.
That's all you need to know for a successful start in Story of Season: A Wonderful Life. Embrace the slow burn of building your farm and finding your feet, as it is part of the charm of the Bokujo games.
