I think that's everything relevant... feel free to add anything I may've missed. Anyway, usually we have a similar topic when everyone's beginning to play a new game. s'fun to talk about experiences and have a place for quick questions to ask other players. Right now, I don't have too many people in town. After Neil showed up to give me my first cow, Iroha showed up a few days later. Hopefully since I have a blacksmith now I can start getting some actual work done instead of just gathering/farming stuff...

I'll be honest... I've probably gotten through the plot the fastest out of anyone. There are some other people out there who've gone about as fast as I have, but not many. If you feel like you've screwed up and want to start over, then by all means, go ahead. I did it after I saw Town Renovation Plan #2 for the first time. The 50 small branch requirement threw me for a loop since I turned all of my original branches into lumber.

Really, it all depends on how fast you want to complete the game. For me, getting the retarded plot out of the way is the most important thing, and everything else comes second. To others, they like taking it slow and just enjoying their farm. If you have a specific bachelor in mind that needs to be unlocked, you might take restarting into consideration if going slow is going to prevent you from unlocking him until much later. It all just depends on what you want to do in game and what kind of pace you'll enjoy. You don't have to follow my example. Just have fun.

As for Star Ranking... there are a couple of ways to do that. The first is to water your crops only once every other day to extend the period of time that you can fertilize them. You'll gain more stars the longer you use fertilizer on them. The other way is to plant them, use fertilizer until they're ready to be harvested, harvest them, put them in the seed maker, and then repeat until you have produce of the star quality you want. The latter can't be done until later in the game when you gain access to the Maker Shed, unfortunately.

If the golden eggs are that important to you and you do end up wanting to start over, you can trade them to me or someone else you trust not to sell them, and one of us can hold onto them for you until you have access to multiplayer again. I'll know for sure that they're not mine, since the only chicken I have who lays golden eggs is my silkie.

Anyway, it's really whatever you want to do. Just play in a way that's fun for you. :D
