All of the above...?

@travisrex: I should have added that option!

However, I felt for the first many hours I focused on Fishing a lot. Ended up maxing it out pretty quickly. It's a great way to make money, especially in the winter now that I have no crops.

Also, I started freaking out when I realized the relationships can degrade over time :P

That led me to start talking to everyone in town at least once every day or two.

I also did out notes on paper of all the bundles I need so I can check them off. Some of the crap I have no idea how to even get.

I was going to choose mining but farming is likely more accurate. When I don't have anything pressing to do I'll head over to the mine and try to get 5 levels deeper. I made it far enough where I'm getting dangerously close to death each time I try to advance. But its fine because so far all the resources I need I can get, it just means I'm more wary about spelunking. I avoided fishing like the plague until I found out you hold the button, rather than click it.

Friendship kind of eludes me because I don't bother to keep track of where everyone goes and what they like. I've got one heart with some people, but that's it.

Things have changed since about halfway through the first summer. Money was really tight and I stressed about what decisions to make. I'm nearing the end of that summer and money has been flowing in, which means I've been able to invest in things other than farming. Like raising animals and artisan goods. The game has opened up more and I feel a bit freer to experiment.

@bam_boozilled:

Interesting thing about the friends is that you just have to make sure to talk to people. You can give them mostly anything with the exception of Haley who mostly likes flowers and jewels. I usually give people like beer or jewels and shit. Usually works.

Fishing. I don't plan my days out fantastically. When I don't have enough time to get to the mine after doing some stuff in the morning, I end up fishing.

i just make sure to do all of my farming first thing in the morning and then sort of see where the day takes me. the things I've been neglecting most are relationships and fishing.

I'll get into relationships more during winter/my second year because I'm just focusing on my farm for now and I just can't stand the fishing mini game

I think everyone eventually spends most of their time farming; the interesting question is what you spend most of your time in the afternoon (after farm chores are done) doing. I try to focus on mining on a secondary source of income.

I spend a lot of time just farming and caring for crops/clearing my fields. Just hit year 2, married Maru (I seem the be the only person who romanced her), and have the entire middle section of my farm hoe'd out for crops. I would go the Keg route but it's so boring just growing one crop to abuse liquor. :\

@captainjudaism: Always good to see another Maru fan. Hard to come by, weirdly enough.

I try to spread my time around to cover all the bases, but the majority is farming and then husbandry. Obviously once you get to Winter fishing and mining become more of a priority, but it's good to have at least a chicken coop to keep the mayonnaise empire churning over through the festive season.

My time has been mostly split between farming and mining. A little bit of fishing when I've done a lot of farming in the day and I don't have enough energy or time to go mining.

farming pretty much all year round. although not so much during the winter. my sprinklers does all the work. but i also run by my chicks, ducks cows and goats. just finished the first year. but friendship or fishing is not a high priority. although abigail is the one im going after. she is also easy to please sine she loves amethyst and i have a ton of them

finnished the mines and need to gather 25k so i can open the vault and go to the new dungeon via the bus)

im kinda surprised that fishing is so popular since i think its god aweful but i finally creeped up at around rank 6. everything else is rank 9 or 10

Haven't started with animals yet, mostly been splitting my time between fishing, mining, and friendships. A few small garden patches here and there.

Farming I guess but hard to say since I really split my time everywhere except really fishing, which I rarely do except last Winter when that kind of replaced my farming time.

Farming for sure. I'm in the middle of my first fall, and after listening to Dan talk about making beer in winter, I grew a ton of hops during summer. I'm gonna get a barn built, and stock it full of kegs as a little brew house.

I was spending the majority of my time farming, but now that I'm on year two, I have 30-some sprinklers so the only significant farming work happens on the first of the season. I usually get up, take care of the animals, and then either go talk to people in town and give gifts, fish, or mine. My goal right now is to get community center squared away so I've been fishing a lot -- I'd suggest for anyone doing the community center to use a guide for the fish.

I have a schedule:

• Sunday - Fishing
• Monday - Mining
• Tuesday - Town (Buy whatever I need, community centre, chat people up, whatever else needs doing in town)
• Wednesday - Clear out the grass, trees, rocks, and shit from the farm. This is nearly all gone though, so it'll probably turn into "expand farm day"
• Thursday - Fishing
• Friday - Mining
• Saturday - Town

This is all of course after seeing to my crops and animals, so my time is split pretty evenly between all activities. I don't really focus on foraging ever, just pick stuff up as I see it.

I'm level 10 in both mining and farming, so, those...

Landscaping should be an option. So many damn weeds and sticks everywhere.

I've sorta gotten to the point where I can consistently go 40+ floors deep in the randomized dungeon, and gotten kinda bummed/burned out 'cause it ends up being the best use of a day after a few farming tasks. It's like, around 8k a trip even without the gem focused mining perks. Still kinda need the money to finish the greenhouse so I can more easily get people their favourite thingy.

Farmin' every day:

Just got to summer so right now Im still farming in the mornings, then spa then mining. one or two days of the week Ill wander around town or fish or do something else. Gotta get dem earth crystals for Maru!

I have been enjoying living in the moment. There's no plan. I figure year one is for learning... townsfolk probably think I'm anti-social. I kinda want to see if they turn on me somehow for not lavishing them with gifts because then my plan is to let the corporation take over their town. Once I'm the sole supplier of goods I'll offer them minimum wage non-union jobs on my farm while I run things from my yacht in Florida.

I kind of go with the flow but I have a morning and evening loop. Morning is get the animals milked/sheared/etc., pull any ripe crops, load up my food processing items. After that I'm off to do whatever goals popped up in the mail or work on my lowest skill or weakest item.

At this point my farming plots take care of themselves after I plant them at the beginning of a season. Just got married to Abigail last night.

Such a fun game.

I completed the mine before the first winter, so now I have nothing to do but fish until spring... It's boring. -_-

First year I did a lot of clearing the dungeon, but year 2 is more farm focused. Farming is probably one of the faster ways to get money, but I spent a lot of time doing a bit of everything the first year. Mining is dependent on the luck for the day, so is probably not that great for gaining cash. I'm trying to avoid getting FAQ spoiled, but I'm glad I found out that villagers lose 2 friend-points per day if you don't at least talk to them and even talking to them give some points. That put less pressure on me to run around clicking on people. Just like IRL.

I did get Leah to be my waifu in the 2nd summer though. Abigail was too much like me. (Except for eating rocks)

I'm in Fall of year one and overall, I think a vast majority of my time is spent mining. At some point early Summer I got my farm completely automated so the first half of each day I spend doing various upkeep at home and around town and the second half of each day is dedicated to collecting stuff from the mines. That said, I reached the bottom at the end of Summer and have a pretty generous stockpile of ores so I'll probably cut back and figure out something else to do with my time.

Pretty evenly split doing everything except fishing. I just don't find it all that enjoyable, and so it's holding me back in finishing the community center. I had hoped the crab pot would help me get past the tediousness of fishing, but alas. It only delivers a handful of kinda useless fish.

The traveling cart has been very useful for buying some of the rarer fish, but I'll probably just have to buckle down, look at the wiki, and spend some time knocking out the rest of the bundles.

Fishing, farming and turning my property in to a brewery.

I'm in summer of my second year and it's definitely crop farming for me. I don't have any set day plans, so once all my crops are picked/watered (I have sprinklers for pretty much everything now) I just kinda judge the rest of my time by what I need. I'm level 10 in farming and level 6-8 in everything else. It's only in my second year that I've gotten more into extra objects (beehives, lightning rods etc) and now animals. Chickens are doing well and I'm saving up for cows at the moment so farming will probably continue to be my top thing.

I've barely touched on working towards relationships, except for Abigail. We got married in Spring.
