what order do you suggest I play my game? I'd like to have my child as fast as possible

I'd like to make the most of my game, I wanna live in both towns and experience both but konohana doesn't interest me as much, but I'd at least like to see all the festivals in both. Id kinda like to get married in bluebell yet I don't because then I'd have to stick around and raise another million before I move, and I don't wanna do everything in bluebell and then move because I feel like I might not wanna keep playing if all I have is konohana to do, because it just dont think I'm quite as interested in it..
ugh. I dunno.
( I'm at winter 20th year 1 and in have Can at pink flowers, and his family at their required flower level if this helps, and I have like 300,000 from the flour and rice trick + buckwheat in shipped and I have all materials for the house expansion)

how often/ when did you move, did you complete the tunnel first, or hold off till the end of the game, did you regret what you did? how would you do it differently

what do I do?!? I can do all this but in what order?! what's most useful/fun
* befriending the wild animals
* finishing the tunnel ( I have the mayors hearts halfway and if stopped coz I don't know if I should wait to unlock the tunnel cos I might not feel like going to cooking fests then, plus I'm trying to have this baby already so I don't wanna waste time doing things yet)
* get married
* have my kid
* move
* unlock both houses
* have a hot spring built
* upgrade to pastures.. (bluebell)
* upgrade to fields.. (konohana)
* upgrade to play pen! (blue)
* upgrade to waterwheel and rice paddy (kono)
* maker sheds - yarn and cheese (blue)
* maker sheds seed and flour (kono)
* beehives! (blue)
* fish pond!(kono)
* beverage maker (blue)
* pickler maker (kono)


p.s I'm about to marry cam, but dirk seems a little interesting... would he be worth waiting for, is he super interesting? or boring.
can I date people when im married?

I can't suggest how you play your game, but I can tell you why I am playing mine the way I am.

I started in Kono and maxed it out first.

Once you get the Seed Maker, it's really really easy to get the 1mil. I moved to Bluebell with 30+mil. (For example, 5 star yams produce 2 seeds worth 2,660 each and regrow every 1-2 days after taking just 4-6 days to mature, so that's like 44,333 to 71,820 [depending on the weather] per yam over the course of the season!)

If I was to replay, I would *not* get married/have a child right away, I would expand all tunnels, all Kono expansions, then I would be forced to expand my house, then the South Tunnel, then the Hot Springs, then the Mine. Once I had the Mine open, I would get married, move to Bluebell, and therefore push the Big Bed quests out until Bluebell.

By getting married and triggering the 2 bed requests, I wasted 2 seasons that I could have spent doing upgrades that would let me move to Bluebell faster.

Conversely, if I started in Blue and then move to Kono, I would lose the benefit of all the Animal expansions as you can only take a limited few with you to Kono. If I started in Kono and then move to Bluebell, I get to keep and use all the Kono expansions. That was what decided me, personally. But that's just me! :D

Upgrade one farm at a time, this way thing don't get too messy. Get married, work on upgrading your house, have a child.

Attend the cooking festivals to work on the game's story and do the tunnel requests. That's the basics, in my opinion.

Like RedCatfish, I made money with the Seed Maker too (some seed bags sells way more expensive than the crop itself), I'd say it's best to start with Konohana, since crops seeds are cheaper than animals, and easier to handle.

We clearly cannot tell what must you do, but I'll tell you something.

Apparently, when I started the game, I focused on getting married first Because I have a habit to look on the marriage candidates first (damn my childish thoughts). I'm married to my husband-in-game in about mid Summer year 2, and that I hadn't even reopen the tunnel. Then because of that, I had been in money crisis, because I bought the Triple Bed and such. Even now (Year 4) I haven't hada child (how frustrating is thaaat)

If I could give you suggestion, then I think you should focus on reopening the tunnel and expanding the farm (Konohana, if you ask me) first.Then after that, you wouldn't have to do money trick again, since your income will (mostly) come from the Makers. If you already have enough money (Konohana farm doesn't have to fully expanded), you can start expanding Bluebell for the Maker too. Then after that, you can do whatever you want freely.
To sum up: I think you should not get married first, as you must give gifts to raise friendship. If you think you're ready, you should buy the Double Bed and expand your house, so you can get a child faster.

idk if this helps, but good luck
