Year 1 Survival Tips

  1. Choose the fruit bat cave. It drops forageable fruits you need for bundles — the mushroom cave is tempting but harder to replace.
  2. Check the Traveling Cart every Friday & Saturday. She stocks rare items like Red Cabbage seeds that can save your Year 1 run.
  3. Pick the Year 1 Completable option for Red Cabbage. In the remixed bundles setting, this guarantees Red Cabbage is obtainable without relying on luck.
  4. Save one of everything. Fish, crops, foraged items — if it looks unique, stash it in a chest. Future-you will be grateful.
  5. Plan your rainy days. Rain means free watering, so use those days to mine, fish, or forage instead. Every energy point counts in Year 1.
