    Heya! Today i will tell ya some tips and tricks!
    Lets get into it <3 :

    1) An easy way to get Stardrops!
    - There is a possible chance if your married to someone they will give you a Stardrop.
    Also you can find them when reaching i think Mining Level 150?

    2) More money?!
    Geodes are good for getting money, also another way is to sell your high-quality ores for lots of money!
    I recommend reaching 10,000$ So you have enough to buy Robin's amazing house upgrades!

    3) Krobus the cute shadow figure!
    - You need to wait a while. In order to find Krobus, you need to display 60 items in the museum.
    Then Gunther will be at your house giving you a Rusty Key! Then you can unlock the sewers and find Krobus!
    Krobus sells very rare materials which you can possibly never get!

    4) Foraging!
    - When you're bored. You can go to some places then find for example a Wild Berry!
    - AKA: Crystal Fruits are very handy!

    5) Farm Layout!
    - The design is not really needed unless your like me. A person who is doing stuff for money!

    6) The Barn!
    - You want animals? Another one of Robin's House Upgrades!

    Thats it sadly. :fishbowl:

      Oh, you sweet summer child...

      Some of your tips contain actual errors, while others are very vague. Here's a little bit better organized and clarified list for you:

      1) An easy way to get Stardrops

      - The chest at Mines level 100 has the Stardrop. The Mines only go to level 120
      - Spouse will automatically give you a Stardrop when you hit 12 hearts or so.
      - Unlocking the Secret Forest and giving the statue there a Sweet Gem Berry will net you a Stardrop
      - There's one available from Pierre at the Fall Fair
      - You can purchase one from Korobus in the Sewers once they are unlocked (donated 60 items to Museum and received the key to the sewers). The other big things he sells are the void egg and a few essences you can pick up in your mining.​

      2) More Money?

      - Fishing is the best way to gain money, especially in your first Spring, assuming you the player has the skill to play the minigame.
      - Setting up your crops in a profitable manner is the best long-term financial growth. This is a guide unto its own.
      - Selling spare gems you come across after you've donated one to the Museum can sustain your bank account and provide pocket change for things like building construction or upgrading.
      - A Crystallarium can provide you with a slow but steady income as well. Multiples can yield more consistent and thus more profitable results.​

      In short, it is pretty trivial to make one million in your first year if you're primarily concerned about profits. You're gonna need a LOT more than $10k if you want any substantial upgrades anywhere

      3) Foraging

      - Foraging is a critical skill that unlocks key equipment needed to safely progress, especially the Lightning Rod unlocked at Foraging 6.
      - Spring Onions and Salmonberries will fuel your first couple of months by recovering stamina. In particular, they will help you delve deeply and greedily in the mines. This is key for obtaining gold as soon as you can for Quality Sprinkler production
      - Hitting Foraging 4 before Salmonberry Season starts will double the number of salmonberries from each shaken bush. You can easily get hundreds of the things in a day or two of gathering. ​

      4) Farm Layout

      - If you're playing for profit, then your farm layout is absolutely going to be an important factor, as you will be playing Tetris trying to make sure everything fits in properly.​

      5) Animal Handling

      - You will need both a Barn and a Coop to complete the Community Center bundles (unless going Joja Route). In fact, unless you can find specific items on the Cart Vendor, you'll need a Deluxe Barn and Big Coop at a minimum.
      - Don't forget the Auto-Grabber. By the time you hit Farming 10, the cost will be trivial compared to the hassles it will save. As of 1.4, works in Coops as well as farms!
      - Cheese is one of the best stamina recovering items in the entire game! If you are having difficulties with mining or delving the Skull Caves, I strongly recommend it.
      - Mayo and Cheese are generally decent gifting options if you wish to endear yourself to your fellow townsfolk, with but few exceptions.
      - Mayo and Cheese are also decently profitable to sell for a slow but steady income. Especially once you get the Artisan perk.​

            i used the Crystallariums only to produce diamonds to gift them to (most) townsfolk for easy relationship boost. i remember giving it to Marnie on her birthday, her heart goes from 1 to 3 (or 4, i forgot).

              To provide some details:
              Diamonds are a loved gift for Evelyn, Gus, Jodi, Krobus, Marnie, Maru, Penny, and Willy. They are a liked gift for everyone else. This does make them a pretty good one-size-fits-all gift, although you may prefer to find something better for those who only like them.
              Loved gifts give almost 1/3 of a heart normally (80/250 points) and liked gifts give over 1/6 of a heart (45/250 points). Note that better quality gifts give more friendship points, but you can only get normal quality diamonds.
              Birthday gifts give 8 times the normal amount of friendship points. For loved gifts, this is almost 3 hearts (640/250 points). For liked gifts, this is a bit over 1.5 hearts (360/250 points).

                Speaking of Crystallariums and Diamonds. One tip is when your mining, you need to bring cheese! Atleast bring three. That will recover one full bar of health, or energy.
