The farming simulator genre is vast and full of many different games. Some have a stamina management system, while others give you infinite stamina Some games may even have a mechanic where you can get married and have a child! Obviously, every game in the genre involves one thing though, farming. Story of Seasons: A Wonderful Life is a re-release of an almost two-decade-old game and many of the mechanics found within it can come across as dated and slow – but it’s still a ton of fun. Thankfully, this guide will give you some handy tips to get started!
Water Your Plants Twice A Day
Water your plants every day is a key part of farming sim gameplay, but what A Wonderful Life does differently is require twice-daily watering. Ideally, when you wake up in the morning you should water your plants first thing, then go about your day. Then, later in the evening, the soil will dry up and you can water them again. Watering twice isn’t required to produce vegetables or fruit. But, if you make it a habit of doing it twice a day then the grade of your crop will increase.
Rotate Your Crops
As you begin to grow crops, the quality of your soil will decrease. If you’re a diligent farmer, you will want to make sure that you alternate areas where you’re planting your crops. Simply examining the soil will let you know its quality. Ideally, when you are rotating your veggies you will want to use fertilizer on the soil that is taking a break to get the best results you can. Keep this up all year round, and eventually you will be producing high-grade fruits and veggies that will sell for a lot!
Give Multiple Gifts Per Day
Finding out what people like can be the hardest thing in the world, both in real life and virtually in Forget-Me-Not Valley! In A Wonderful Life, when you give gifts to a person, they will let you know if they like it or not, sometimes nicely and other times not! If they don’t like the item, they won’t take it and your bond with them won’t increase. Once you find out what each person in the valley loves, you can give multiple gifts to them each day. This will speed up the process of becoming everyone’s friend or lover.
Buy The Fertilizer Machine ASAP
After buying fertilizer and using it on your crops, you will unlock the fertilizer machine for purchase. Out of all of the many updates for your farm that you can grab, this one is the most important one to buy. Once the fertilizer machine is finally on your property, you will never have to go to the store to buy fertilizer again. This will save you tons of money and help you improve your farm!
Selling and Loving Animals
You will need to sell your animals at some point. Unfortunately, there’s only so much space in your initial barn. Eventually, you will be cross-breeding cows to make the best breed you can to produce high-quality cheese and milk! Sometimes your animals will also pass away, so always make sure to keep up with them. To get your animals to be high enough grade to produce high-quality produce you will need to love them every day! Whip out the brush, talk to them and let them go and graze outside. The animals will definitely thank you for it by producing valuable goods!
