I. Preface
====-

Foreword						[PFOREWORD]
----=

 Harvest Moon: Back to Nature is one of the most misunderstood games in
the entire series, in more than one sense.  For a long time, the mechanics
of how the game reacts to what you do were only vaguely understood, mostly
due to the fact that the game doesn't tell you most of what's going on with
it, and many of the guides were left to simply speculate on what did what.
This guide was written to change all of that.  Using data-viewing software,
I've tracked down and debunked almost all of the mysteries of how the game
works.  This guide is meant to serve as not just a walkthrough, but also a
guide to how to make the game do what you want it to do, and as an
informational document on what exactly the game is doing at any given time.

 For those interested in more of my Harvest Moon: Back to Nature projects,
feel free to visit my BTN site: http://skyrender.saulesco.com/hmbtn.html

 You can contact me at [email protected] or [email protected],
though please add HM:BTN in the subject line if you're asking about (or
offering up information and/or corrections to) the guide.  Please don't ask
me for basic game help, as that's what this guide is for.  I didn't write
it for my health, after all.  Wait, I suppose I technically DID write it
for my health, so, er...  Well, I wrote it so people would stop asking me
about the stuff that's in this guide.  Yeah, that's the ticket...


Low-Bias Review						[PREVIEW]
----=

 This is a review written very differently from a typical review.  It uses
a system that I developed along with a fellow netizen, one intended to give
a clear picture of a game's features without having much personal opinion
mussing things up.  Ratings are not on a scale of good or bad, but simply
of how present (or absent) something is from the game.

Gameplay:

Repitition      [------*---]

 Much of the game involves doing the exact same farm work as the previous
day.  Festivals, story events, and other occasions break from this.  As
well, much of the gameplay that is repetitive is also entirely (or almost
entirely) optional.

Depth           [--------*-]

 Many options exist on how you can play this game.  There is no single way
that you must take the game on in order to win.

Learning Curve  [-----*----]

 The game has an in-game tutorial in the form of a TV channel, and there
are books in the game's libraries that explain how to do things, but for
the most part, you're left to figure the game out on your own.  There isn't
a whole lot to figure out, fortunately.

Difficulty      [-----*----]

 While specific goals may occasionally be challenging, the overall
challenge of the game is very low.

Continuity      [-----*----]

 Minigames tend to be fairly difficult, while everything else is easier.

Interface       [-------*--]

 The interface is very functional, and easy to adapt to.  Many help
dialogue boxes show up in menus, and tell you what specific buttons do in
said menus.


Graphics:

Suitability     [---------*]

 The environments and terrain all feel very much like they belong in this
game, and give an appropriately backwater-village-like setting.

Quality         [------*---]

 While not the best graphics on the PS1, they're still fairly good quality.

Fluidity        [--------*-]

 There are occasional graphical glitches that are inherent to the PS1 (such
as objects "overlapping" each other), but otherwise, everything in the game
works well with everything else, graphically speaking.

Sound and Music:

Instrumentation [-----*----]

 Fairly standard for a PS1 game, HM:BTN sports semi-synthetic-sounding
instruments.

Tonal Quality   [-------*--]

 There's nothing really earsplitting, though some of the music does get
annoying after it's been repeated five or six times in a row.

Balance         [---*------]

 Quite a bit of the music is only played during events.  The majority of
the time, you end up listening to either the current season's theme, or the
village theme.

Suitability     [---------*]

 The music fits quite well for the game and its environments, as well as
for the events that it's used in.


Story:

Continuity      [--------*-]

 What little story the game has flows just fine.

Depth of Focus  [*---------]

 The game's story is more of backstory, and there's not much of that.  The
primary focus of the game is the gameplay, and writing your own story, as
it were.

Clarity         [---------*]

 There's nothing really confusing at all about the story.

Translation     [-------*--]

 There are errors here and there, but for the most part, the translation is
solid.


Frequently Asked Questions				[PFAQ]
----=

 These are the questions asked most often about Harvest Moon: Back to
Nature, as well as the most important subjects that a first-time player
should know about.

Q: Augh!  My character just passed out!  Why'd he do that?
A: Because you used too much stamina, silly.  Your character doesn't have
infinite energy, and sometimes he has to restore it.  There's a couple of
ways to do this (jump in the hot springs, eat food items, go to bed).  Try
to pay attention to when your character complains, and take care of him
when he's tired.

Q: Why don't my animals like me?
A: Probably because you're not taking care of them properly.  Be sure you
feed your chickens, cows, and sheep daily, and talk to your cows and sheep
daily.  You need to pick up your dog and whistle to him daily, and you need
to brush and whistle to your horse daily.  You only have to take care of
any given animal's needs once per day, and any further taking care of them
has no effect.  Try to avoid hitting your animals with your tools, too.
Also, don't expect the farm's animals to all love you in a week flat; it
takes two seasons minimum for all animals except chickens to get to 10
hearts (and chickens still take the better part of a season).

Q: How do I win the cooking contest?
A: Bake a complicated dish on the day of the festival.  If somebody else
has also baked the same dish, you probably won't win, so you may have to
re-load from your saved game and try again with a different one.  Making
Relaxation Tea more or less guarantees that you'll win.  Of course, winning
the festival during the first year is essentially impossible to do.

Q: How do I win the (censored) swimming contest?
A: Two solutions exist.  The first is to learn to mash the X button so fast
that your thumbs will probably start bleeding.  The second is to buy a
turbo controller and let it do the button-mashing for you.  I suggest
option two.  Also, be sure to stop and breathe once your character's speech
bubble turns to an unhappy red face.  Hold down the triangle button until
the face turns to a yellow happy face, then race to the end.  If you have
to do another breather before you hit the end, only go up to the neutral
yellow face.

Q: How do I win the Sumo Chicken Contest?
A: Luck, mostly.  Having 8 or more hearts on your competing bird also helps
a lot.  Make sure you only egg your chicken on (no pun intended) when it's
facing the other chicken, and never when it's facing towards the far side
of the ring.  Sometimes the game will make your hen act like an idiot and
only face the outer ring, in which case you'll probably have to reload from
your last save and try again.

Q: Barley took my horse away!  How do I get him back?
A: You don't.  Once you lose your horse, he's not coming back, ever.  You
can, however, get a new pony.  See the next question.

Q: I never got my pony from Barley.  How can I get one?
A:  Plant at least 200 squares of land with grass (23 bags should do the
trick), and Barley will offer you a pony when the grass reaches its first
growth stage (light green).  Be sure to agree to take the pony!

Q: How come I can't get married?
A: There are three possibilities.  The first is that you aren't doing it
right.  To propose to a girl, you have to use the Blue Feather.  The second
possibility is that the girl's heart level is too low (she needs a red
heart, and you can buy the Blue Feather at the orange heart level; as such,
there's a lot of confusion about this).  The last possibility is that you
don't have the second house extension.  You need this extension before a
girl will accept your proposal.

Q: I keep chopping at the tree stumps, and smashing at the big rocks, but
nothing happens!  Why?
A: Three possibilities exist.  One is that your tool isn't leveled up
enough to deal with what you're trying to get rid of.  You need at least a
copper axe to chop down tree stumps, a copper hammer to deal with large
stones, and a silver hammer to deal with the misshapen rocks.  The second,
more likely possibility is that you're not standing in one place to hit the
object.  You cannot move at all when chopping down a stump or breaking a
big stone or rock.  The last possibility is that you're just not patient
enough.  It takes quite a few hits to break the big stones and chop down
the stumps.

Q: I upgraded (insert tool name here), but it still does the same thing!
What gives?!
A: Tools don't lose previous functionality, they gain new functionality.
Basically, just hold down the "use tool" button until your character moves
his body to indicate that he's gathering power.  Once your character stops
moving, he's doing as much as he can with the tool as it stands now.  Any
further upgrades will increase the amount of power that your character is
willing to gather with a tool, and have even more effect.

Q: I threw Cucumbers in the lake like the guides all say, but nothing
happened!  Where's Kappa?  I want my Mystic Berry!
A: You have to throw the Cucumbers after noon, on a sunny day that isn't a
festival day, during Spring.  Also, you don't throw them at where Kappa
actually shows up, you throw them directly down-right from the tree stump
in the upper left part of the lake (just press right on the control pad
until you hit the lake's edge).

Q: How do I get the Fishing Rod?
A: First off, wait until a Friday, Saturday, or Sunday.  Then, put one of
your tools away in the toolbox, so you have a free slot in your rucksack.
Finally, visit the beach between 7:00AM and 10:00AM (or 7:00PM and 10:00PM)
and talk to the man standing out on the end of the long wooden pier.  He'll
give you his Fishing Rod.

Q: How do I get the Fishing Pole?
A: Catch and/or breed 50 or more fish for your pond.  Once you've met this
criteria, make sure you have a spare slot in your rucksack, and exit your
house.  Greg the fisherman will be admiring your fish pond, and give you
the Fishing Pole as your reward for being so dedicated.  Be sure you talk
to him during this event, as he will never return to offer you the Fishing
Pole again.

Q: Fishing is too hard!  How can I make it easier?
A: Make sure you don't litter.  As your litter count goes up, your ability
to fish goes down.  Beyond that, it's mostly about being able to release
the Square button fast enough.  Evil, isn't it?  It would be infinitely
more tolerable if you just had to press the Square button to reel your
catch in instead, but no...  More in-depth tips can be found in the Fishing
Guide section.

Q: What counts as littering?
A: Any item thrown on the ground in the village proper or inside other
peoples' homes counts as littering.  You can safely throw items to the
ground anywhere around your farm, anywhere in the Mother Hill area (the hot
springs, the mine behind the waterfall, Mother Lake, the winter mine,
the flower garden, the peak, and outside Gotz' House areas), anywhere on
Mineral Beach, and anywhere outside of the Poultry Farm and Yodel Ranch.

Q: How much do I need to do to win the game?
A: Look at the "Winning" the Game section of this walkthrough.  The known
requirements are listed there.

Q: Some of the girls didn't come to give me Chocolate during Winter
Thanksgiving!  What gives?
A: Winter Thanksgiving is a very relationship-specific event.  Girls must
like you enough (have at least a strong purple-heart relationship), and you
cannot be married if you want to get Chocolate from anybody but your wife.
Also, the girls give different types of chocolate items depending on your
heart level with them, so you might get Chocolate Cake instead of just
Chocolate, if their heart levels are too high.

Q: How do I catch the Legendary Fish/King Fish?
A: See the Fishing Guide section for details.  Using the Fishing Pole is
advisable.

Q: May is missing!  Where'd she go?
A: Visit Mineral Beach some time at or after 6PM, and check the pier that
the boat is docked up against.  That's where May will be.

Q: Can I get into Zack's house?
A: No.  It's just decoration.  People don't even open the door to his house
when entering and exiting, which should be a huge tip-off.  You can enter
his house in Friends of Mineral Town, but not Back to Nature.

Q: Can I get into Kai's seaside lodge?
A: No.  See the above question about Zack's house.  The same applies here.

Q: How many crops do I have to sell to get Strawberries/Pumpkins/Spinach?
A: You need to sell 101 of each other type of crop for the season that
these three special crops are in.  That's 101 Turnips, Potatoes, Cucumbers,
and Cabbages for Strawberries, 101 Tomatoes, Corn, Onions, and Pineapples
for Pumpkins, and 101 Eggplants, Carrots, Sweet Potatoes, and Green Peppers
for Spinach.


Differences between HM:BTN and...			[PDIFFER]
----=

 Harvest Moon: Back to Nature is similar to quite a few games in the

Important Notice					[PIMPORTNT]
----=

 The gameplay mechanics are confirmed for the US and European versions
only!  I have no way to confirm or deny that they work with the Japanese
version, or with Harvest Moon: For Girl.  This guide may or may not be
helpful for players of the Japanese version of the game; I cannot say for
sure, as I don't have any solid proof that they do work for that version.
If anybody would be willing to test and confirm or deny their functionality
for the Japanese version, and provide whatever evidence they can, I would
be much obliged.


=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

II. Walkthroughs
====-

 I've decided to take a very different approach to the walkthrough section.
Instead of providing one method, I've provided three: normal, expert, and
master.  Pick the guide that you feel best reflects your patience and
willingness to dedicate yourself to the game.  The first two of these
guides don't take into account the extra time and effort needed to raise
girls' affection; that's entirely your choice, so if you find yourself with
free time, feel free to make with the romancing.

Season Events						[WSEASONS]
----=

 These are the events that occur every year, no matter what.  This is meant
to be sort of a reference guide.  Alternate birthday listings are for if
you set your own birthday to that character's birth date.  Alternates only
exist for the girls.

Spring:

Spring 1 - New Year's Festival
Spring 2 - Louis' birthday
Spring 4 - Bold's birthday
Spring 8 - Goddess Festival
Spring 11 - Saibara's birthday
Spring 14 - Spring Thanksgiving*
Spring 15 - Staid's birthday
Spring 16 - Elli's birthday
Spring 17 - Barley's birthday
Spring 18 - Local Horse Race
Spring 19 - Lillia's birthday
Spring 20 - Elli's birthday (alternate)
Spring 22 - Cooking Festival
Spring 26 - Aqua's birthday
Spring 29 - Greg's birthday
Spring 30 - Sasha's birthday

Summer:
Summer 1 - Opening Day
Summer 3 - Popuri's birthday
Summer 4 - Harris' birthday
Summer 6 - Cliff's birthday

Season Overviews					[WOVERVIEW]
----=

 This is a very brief look at each season and its potentials, as well as
what you can do for profit during said seasons.

Spring
Foraging: 2 Blue Grass (1 by hot springs, 1 by Gotz' house), 3 Bamboo
Shoots (all by hot springs); 350G total
Other Profit Opportunities: Waterfall mine
Best Crop: Cabbage
Notes: Spring is the least profitable of the growing seasons.  Most crops
grows at an average pace (except cabbages, which grow slowly), and the
regrowables take the longest to come back of any season.

Summer
Foraging: 2 Red Grass (1 by hot springs, 1 by Gotz' house); 200G total
Other Profit Opportunities: Waterfall mine
Best Crop: Pineapple
Notes: The plants of summer grow slowly, meaning that early summer days are
nigh-unprofitable.  This is made up for by plentiful late-summer harvests,
which make for a good head-start on Fall.

Fall
Foraging: 3 Apples (by the tree on the farm), 2 Green Grass (1 by hot
springs, 1 by Gotz' house), 4 Mushrooms (1 by hot springs, 2 by Gotz'
house, 1 on Mother Hill), 1 Poisonous Mushroom (by gotz' house), 2 Wild
Grapes (on Mother Hill), 1 Truffle (on Mother Hill); 1330G total
Other Profit Opportunities: Waterfall mine, Winery (1st year only)
Best Crop: Sweet Potato
Notes: The best profit-making season, hands down.  Everything grows fast,
and the regrowables grow back even faster than that.  The season that makes
or breaks many a farm during the first year, depending on planning.

Winter
Foraging: None; 0G total
Other Profit Opportunities: Waterfall mine, winter mine
Best Crop: N/A
Notes: The slow season.  You're given the previous 3 seasons to basically
build up your dairy during the first year, so that you can make money via
methods other than mining.  The most boring of all seasons, certainly the
least active.


Normal Walkthrough (The 3-Year Basic Plan)		[WNORMAL]
----=

 This is an easy and laid-back walkthrough.  Most days will end by 6:00PM,
and very little actual work will have to get done each day.  If you're in
it to see the credits roll, or don't want to push the game to the limit,
then this is the walkthrough for you.  This walkthrough is very much for
the first-time player, and explains how you do everything.

Season's Goals:
* Get the Brush
* Get your horse
* Get the Fishing Rod
* Get a chicken
* Get the medium rucksack
* Get 3 Power Berries and the Mystic Berry
* Upgrade axe to Copper
* Upgrade hammer to Silver
* Upgrade watering can to Gold

Daily Chores:
* Take care of the animals (pick up your dog and whistle to him, brush the
horse whistle to him)
* Tend to the chickens (give adult chickens feed in their feed boxes, and
sell the eggs if there's an egg in the incubator; if not, then put an egg
in)
* Harvest and sell ripened crops (pretty self-explanatory)
* Forage for items in the mountains, and sell the Bamboo Shoots and Blue
Grass
* Plant and/or water the crops
* Clear up the farm (move stones into the corner or break them, toss weeds
about or use the sickle on them, chop branches with the axe; you can't do
anything about the tree stumps or rocks just yet, though)

(NOTE: Daily chores are things you should do every day.  It's suggested
that you do them in the order listed, too.  If a daily chore isn't
possible for you to do for any reason, then you don't have to do it!)

Predicted Season's Expenses: About 11,000G
Predicted Season's Profits: About 23,000G

NOTE: If you ever find that your character is getting really tired, you can
restore his stamina by having him jump into the Hot Springs behind your
farm.  Stamina comes back at a rate of 4 stamina per second while in the
spring, so it only takes about 30 game minutes to restore 100 stamina.

Spring 1

 The game begins!  After you've inputted your name, birthday, dog's name,
and farm name, the game opens up with a series of cutscenes that introduce
you to the farm and the situation.  You have 3 years to get this farm back
in working order, and if you can get it up to what the village expects of
you by then, you get to keep the farm!  If you don't, though...  Well, that
shouldn't be a problem if you're using a walkthrough, right? ^_^

 Anyway, you can't actually play the game just yet.  Today is just an
introduction.

Spring 2

 This is the first real day.  Familiarize yourself with the house, because
you'll have to do quite a bit here.  Don't worry, the clock is frozen while
you're indoors, so you can take as long as you want getting used to your
base of operations.  The TV has four stations (the weather channel, news,
Life on the Farm, and entertainment TV that changes on a daily basis).
Life on the Farm is the game's tutorial, but it's a bit misleading at
times.  The news lets you know about any upcoming festivals and when they
are.  The entertainment program doesn't really do anything, but the shows
can be funny sometimes.  And finally, the weather channel is the most
important TV station of all.  Unlike real life, this weather channel is
never wrong, and it can help you shape your farm to know what the weather
will be like tomorrow.

 Next up on the list of things to check out is the bookshelf.  This lets
you set the game's controls up, and get some basic help.  The game is set
up rather nicely as it is, so I don't suggest you change the controls any,
unless you really don't like the control setup.  Next item of interest: the
calendar.  The calendar shows you when any upcoming events are (festivals,
and maybe even your wedding some day!), as well as telling you what the
current day is.  In lower right of your house is the tool chest, where you
will find all of the tools of the trade you have available to you.  For the
time being, let's grab the hoe, watering can, and axe.  The last item of
interest (which we won't need until this evening) is the diary, which is by
your bed.  You can make a diary entry (which is how you save your game),
read a diary entry (load a saved game), or trade animals here.  Of course,
by making a diary entry, the current day ends, so be sure you don't use it
until you're ready!

 Alright!  Now that we have the house covered, let's head outside.  The
mayor will be waiting for you, and offer to give you a tour of the town.  I
suggest that you take it, as it will introduce you to the people of the
village, as well as the shops and services.  It only takes two game hours
of time, too!  Anyway, once you're back on your farm, pick up your puppy
and put him back down.  Once his tail stops wagging, walk a bit away and
use the dog whistle (if he doesn't respond, then you used the horse
whistle; try the other one).  Once he barks and starts running towards you,
then you know you've got it right.  Once that's done, it's time to start
clearing the farm up.  Starting from near your house, chop up branches,
move rocks aside, and throw out weeds until you've freed up enough space to
make some plots of land with your hoe.  Dig them like this:

ooo
ooo
o o

o o
ooo
ooo

 Within these dynamic plots, we're going to plant some seeds.  But first,
we need (you guessed it) the seeds themselves!  Run on into town, and visit
the supermarket.  Since you have 500G available, let's get 2 bags of
Cucumber seeds.  They're easy to manage, and they grow back every five days
after the first harvest.  Good deal!  Head back to the farm, go inside, and
replace your hoe with your newly-bought seeds.  Go outside and stand in the
middle of one of your plots.  Now, place the seeds in your hands, and use
them.  If done right, you should have all 8 plowed squares with seeds on
them.  Go and do this to the other plot, as well.  Before we water the
crops, let's go forage the Bamboo Shoots and Blue Grass from the Hot
Springs and Gotz' House.  Just grab them and put them in the rucksack with
L2 as you pick them up.  Since your rucksack is so small, you can only hold
two items at once, so you'll have to make two trips.  Put the items in the
shipping bin inside the chicken coop (since time doesn't flow indoors, this
will save you a bit of time).  Once you've foraged, fill the watering can
up with water, and water the seeds.

 By now, it's probably already getting late, possibly even close to 5:00PM.
If you still have some time left, then start clearing the farm up some
more.  At 5:05PM, Zack will show up and take the Bamboo Shoots and Blue
Grass from the shipping bin, and you'll get some extra money.  Neat!  Keep
clearing up your farm until your character gets tired, or until you get
tired of it, and then go to bed.

Spring 3

 This is a normal day.  What that means is that you just have to do your
daily chores, and once they're done, you can go to bed.  Most days are like
this, so if you don't see a day listed in the walkthrough, that means it's
a normal day.  A note for specific days: you should always take care of the
animals and tend to the poultry and livestock first thing.  One thing you
can do today (if it's not raining) is to go visit Mother Hill after noon,
and attempt to cut the tree up there down.  Agree to not cut it down after
all, and the tree will give you a Power Berry!  Whee!  You can also dig one
of those berries up from the mine.  Just keep going further underground,
and you'll eventually find it.  An added bonus of getting this berry is
that you'll get a few 10G bonuses, as well.  One final note: on days that
are normal days, after you've done all of your daily chores, use up your
remaining stamina inside your house by swinging your hammer around.  Try
and get it up to 200% by the 19th.  If you want to get it stronger by
smashing rocks outside, just be sure you leave at least one small stone
uncrushed.

Spring 4

 You have some loose change from those Bamboo Shoots and Blue Grass you've
been selling (you should have about 800G now), so let's go get the horse
and the Brush!  Go visit Yodel Ranch (it's two doors down from your farm;
just go to the upper-left of your house to the first area of the village,
then head down-right to the poultry farm and down-right to the ranch), and
agree to take care of the pony that May and Barley are fussing over.  Name
it whatever you like, then go to Saibara's and buy the Brush tool.  The
pony is easy to take care of.  Just brush him every day and whistle to him.
I suggest that you keep him in his stable all the time, as it's a pain to
have to find him and bring him inside whenever it's raining.  Other than
this diversion, this is a normal day.

Spring 6

 Again, you should have some loose change from the Bamboo Shoots and the
Blue Grass (700G this time), so buy some Turnip Seeds from the supermarket
(5 bags, to be exact) and plant them (with the same method you used for
your Cucumber plots, 8 squares of tilled land).  Before you even go to the
market, though, empty one slot of your rucksack, visit the docks between
7:00AM and 10:00AM, and talk to Greg.  He'll give you the Fishing Rod.
Woot, free items!  Anyway, plant and water your new Turnip seeds (you HAVE
been watering daily, right?), finish the day's chores, then go to bed.

Spring 7

 If you've been giving items to a girl, and they have a purple-heart
relationship or better with you, you might be able to ask a girl to the
Goddess Festival tomorrow.  Don't worry if you can't, though; it's not a
big deal.  Other than this tidbit, today is a normal day.

Spring 8

 Today is the Goddess Festival!  Once you've got your day's chores done, go
and attend it.  This is a good way to make friends with the villagers.
Talk to everybody, then talk to Mayor Thomas and agree to starting the
festival.  After it's over, finish any of the day's chores you may have
left to do, then go to bed.  Note that you won't get any money for the
stuff you foraged today until Zack shows up tomorrow.  This is true of
most festivals.

Spring 11

 The cucumbers are ripe!  Grab all of the cucumbers from both of the
clusters, and sell them all.  This will get you quite a bit of money
tomorrow, and compounding with what you already have, you should be able
to afford your first chicken come tomorrow (or possibly even today, if you
have 1,550G already)!  Be sure to buy at least 5 chicken feed along with
your new clucker, and make sure you provide it with 1 unit of chicken feed
per day.  To do this, just grab some chicken feed and put it in a feed box.
When your chicken starts laying eggs, put the first one in the incubator
(you can sell the ones that come after that, of course).  Eventually, that
egg will hatch into a baby chick.  Keep up the incubating of eggs, and
you'll never have to buy another chicken again!  The turnips you planted on
the 6th are ready today, as well, getting you even more money.  You should
have enough by now for the Medium Rucksack, so go and buy it!  Also, come
tomorrow, buy 5 more bags of Turnip Seeds, and plant them in the place of
the turnips you just harvested today.  Also, stock up on chicken feed
tomorrow, and be sure to buy more whenever your store of it is getting low.

Spring 14

 This is the Spring Thanksgiving (actually, it's more like Valentine's Day
than Thanksgiving).  Since you don't have a kitchen yet, you can't possibly
give any girls cookies.  Other than it being a holiday (and one of the
rare ones that the shipper still shows up on), this is a normal day.

Spring 16

 Today, another harvest of Cucumbers is ready!  This will get you another
960G, which should be invested in upgrading the axe to Copper status.
Since you should have been clearing up the farm every evening after all
other chores are done, the axe should be at least 100% by now.  Go to the
mine and dig up a piece of Copper Ore, stick it in your rucksack, and head
to the blacksmithy once it's open.  With the axe in your hand, walk up to
Saibara, pull out the Copper Ore, and ask him to upgrade your axe.  It
costs 1,000G, and your axe will be ready in 3 days (on Spring 19).
Otherwise, this is a pretty normal day.

Spring 17

 The second batch of Turnips are ripe!  Back on the 15th, the Mayor may
have requested that you bring him 3 Turnips.  If you agreed to help him,
then grab 3 of them and give them to him some time today.  Ship the rest,
of course, and plant 5 more bags' worth of seeds in their place (two days
from now, of course; the supermarket is closed today, and tomorrow's the
horse race).

Spring 18

 The horse race is today!  You can't participate in it this year, but once
you have your daily chores done (you do your watering after the races if
you want), then feel free to go to it and make friends.  Don't spend any of
your money on the horse race tickets; the prizes are not only useless to
you at this point (other than the uber-expensive Power Berry), but they're
also far too expensive.  You should get your axe back tomorrow, meaning
that you can start clearing away the tree stumps on your farm.  Be sure to
do that!  Also, you might want to start chopping up the tree stumps up on
Mother Hill, too.  Finally, you'll want to have Saibara start upgrading
your hammer to Silver tomorrow, too.

Spring 21

 Another batch of Cucumbers should have sprouted today.  Grab 5 of them,
and once noon time passes (as long as it's not raining, that is), toss all
5 into the small pond that the waterfall pours into.  Once you've tossed in
the last one, the Goddess will show up and give you a Power Berry!  Whee!
After you do this, take the remaining 3 Cucumbers from the same plant, and
go up to Mother Hill.  From the stump near the upper left edge of the lake,
walk straight towards the lake 'til you hit the shore.  Facing away from
the stump toss your 3 Cucumbers in.  If done right, Kappa should show up
each time, and give you his berry the last time.  The rest of the Cucumbers
should be shipped, of course.

Spring 24

 The latest batch of Turnips is in!  Ship them all out, and buy and plant
5 more bags of them tomorrow (since once again, the supermarket is closed
today).  Otherwise, this is a normal day.

Spring 26

 The last batch of Cucumbers is in for the season.  Ship them out, then cut
the Cucumber plants down with the sickle.

Spring 29

 Water your crops early today, and then go to the mine and dig up a Gold
Ore.  Then, go to Saibara's blacksmith shop, and have him upgrade your
watering can.  It's a bit pricey at 3,000G, but well worth it!

Spring 30

 The last harvest of Turnips (and the last harvest of the season) is today.
Ship them off, and finish the day's chores.  Around 1:00PM, go and visit
the Inn, and buy 3 bags of Pineapple Seeds from Won, as well as 1 bag of
Pink Cat Seeds.  Once you have those, don't plant them; just leave them in
your toolbox for now.  Finish anything you need to do, and then get ready
for Summer!

End-of-Season Profits: Around 7,000G

Season's Goals:
* Get 1 Power Berry (it's okay if you miss it, though)
* Upgrade the chicken coop
* Start the honey tree
* Upgrade the house
* Upgrade the axe to Mystrile
* Get the Large Rucksack
* Get the Basket
* Get a cow

Daily Chores:
* Take care of the animals
* Tend to the chickens
* Harvest and sell ripened crops
* Forage (just sell the 2 Red Grass, and chop down all of the tree stumps)
* Water the crops
* Clear up the farm (there shouldn't be much left to do by now)

Predicted Season's Expenses: About 35,000G
Predicted Season's Profits: About 40,000G

NOTE: Sometimes, hurricanes occur during summer!  These nasty storms will
rip up crops, and prevent you from taking care of any animals!  If you
don't want this to happen (who WOULD want it to happen?), then use the
double save trick (listed in the Bugs and Exploits section) to evade these
nasty weather occurrences.  You can also use my own crafted GameShark codes
to evade the storms.  Just be sure that you evade a storm on the day
BEFORE the storm hits, not on the day OF the storm.

Summer 1

 Today is Opening Day.  Get the daily chores done (not much at this point),
then head for Mineral Beach.  The swimming contest is one of those
deceptive minigames, in that it sounds easy but is really very difficult.
Unless you can mash buttons as fast as a turbo controller, chances are you
won't stand much of a chance.  If you have a turbo controller, then feel
free to use it.  Just set turbo for X, and hold down X until your character
spouts an angry red bubble.  Then let go of X and hold down the triangle
button until the face turns happy again.  Hold down X until you hit the
finish line (you might have to do another breather session near the end).
The prize is this season's coveted Power Berry, so if you possibly can, win
the festival!

Summer 2

 Now you can actually start doing the whole planting gig for the season.
Expand your existing plots out to 9 squares now; you'll be able to water
full 9-square plots now, so there's no need to limit your production
capabilities any longer!  Plant your Pineapple and Pink Cat Seeds (put the
Pink Cat Seeds some distance away from the Pineapple Seeds), and then head
into town and buy 3 bags of Tomato and Corn Seeds from the supermarket.
Once 10:00AM rolls around, pay Saibara a visit, and pick up your new and
improved watering can!  Fill it up (Saibara emptied it), and water your new
crops and flowers.  You should also start the chicken coop expansion today.
Finish all other chores for the day, then head for bed.

Summer 5

 The chicken coop should be fully expanded today!  Be sure to take full
advantage of both incubators.  Other than this, today is a normal day.

Summer 7

 Today is the Sumo Chicken Festival.  If you bought your chicken by Spring
12, and took care of it daily, then it should have 9 to 10 hearts by now.
Have it participate in the festival, and keep redoing the day until your
chicken wins.  Why?  Because winning the festival means that the winning
hen produces Golden Eggs!  This won't change anything just yet, but once
you get the Mayo Maker, you'll be glad you won!  Anyway, daily chores,
yadda yadda yadda.  Tomorrow should mark the sprouting of your Pink Cat
Flowers, which will get the beehive going!  When that happens, be sure to
take your first harvest of honey to Louis (he lives at Gotz' cabin) and
give it to him; this will make your honey worth 60G each (instead of 50G
each).

Summer 11

 The first tomato harvest is today.  Ship them out.  All of them.  Sorry,
I couldn't resist.  Other than the harvest, this is a normal day.  Do
chores, go to sleep.

Summer 12

 Today is the Tomato Festival.  And the first batch of tomatoes came in
yesterday.  Coincidence?  I think not.  Anyway, you can participate if you
want.  Winning is mostly a matter of picking a solid team, since this
minigame relies more on luck and skill than ability to mash a button really
fast.  If your team wins, then everybody at the festival will like you
better.  If you lose, there's no penalties.  I usually just skip this
festival, since it's probably the hardest one outside of Opening Day to
win, and the reward is far less.

Summer 15

 Another tomato harvest is today!  Harvest them and sell them, of course.
Otherwise, this is a normal day.

Summer 16

 Harvest numero uno of corn should be ready today.  Send them all out, and
complete the day's chores.  You should spend your gains on the Large
Rucksack come tomorrow.

Summer 19

 Another harvest of tomatoes.  Save the profits up this time.  Normal day
beyond the harvest.

Summer 20

 Corn harvest number two is today, and today is the Cow Festival.  You can
attend this festival if you wish, but there are no benefits in doing so
just yet, since you don't have any cows.  Come Tuesday, have Gotz expand
your house.

Summer 22

 Today will be your favorite day of the season, I guarantee it.  The
pineapples are finally ready!  There's also another batch of tomatoes ready
for shipment.  Ship everything else (place priority on gathering the
pineapples), and come tomorrow, buy the Basket from the supermarket, and
have Saibara upgrade your axe to Mystrile.

Summer 24

 Today is a corn harvest, and the Fireworks Display.  Also, your house
should be expanded now.  The expanded house has several new features: a
cupboard (which can hold any non-food item), a refrigerator (which can hold
any food item), and a kitchen (which you can use to cook in).  Since you
don't yet have any kitchen utensils, your cooking options are limited as of
now.  However, your new fridge could come in handy.  Start putting Red
Grass in it instead of shipping the grass.

 Once you've gotten everything done on the farm, go to Mineral Beach to
watch the fireworks.  You can ask any of the girls to watch it with you,
but I don't think they'll agree unless they like you at least a bit.

Summer 26

 Now that you have the first house extension, there's a new TV station,
called TV Shopping.  You can order kitchen utensils off of it!  Today's
offering is the Knife for 3000G.  That's actually a good deal, so be sure
to stop by the Inn today and order it via the phone there.  Otherwise, this
is (of course) a normal day.

Summer 27

 There's a harvest of tomatoes today.  Use the basket to gather the crops
in; you'll be surprised at how much time this saves.  Sell the tomatoes, of
course, but save the profits up.  Since there won't be another harvest of
tomatoes, once you've harvested all of the outer ones, cut one of the
plants away with the sickle so you can reach the inner tomato in each plot,
and ship those out (or save them in your refrigerator).  You obviously
don't need to water the tomatoes any longer.

Summer 28

 Another harvest of pineapples today!  And corn, but that's second priority
now.  Gather and sell all of the fruits and vegetables.  Now for a bit of a
risqu� investment: come tomorrow, you're going to be getting your first
cow!  Yep, you're already buying livestock.  Makes ya proud, doesn't it?
Be sure to buy some fodder to feed the cow with, as well.  You just have to
be sure to talk to your cow and feed it daily, and of course, you should
buy more fodder if you start running low.  Use the cut-to-the-center trick
on the crops to get those last fruits and vegetables, and either ship them
or save them in the fridge.  Now you have no crops left to tend to for the
rest of the season!  Yay?

Summer 30

 The last day of the season is today, obviously.  It is a normal day, but
it's worth noting that you'll want at least 3,500G for next season.  Oh,
and cut down the remaining crops on the field, since they're not going to
do anything but take up space next season.

End of Season Profits: Around 5,000G

Predicted Season's Expenses: About 70,000G
Predicted Season's Profits: About 80,000G

Fall 1

 Clear up your field and get your 9 plots of land ready for this season's
vegetables.  Since they're so valuable, we're going to dedicate this entire
season's field space to Sweet Potato seeds.  Buy 9 bags of Sweet Potatoes,
and plant and water them all.  Finish the day's chores, then go to bed.  Oh
yes, and Won might come by today (or some time soon) to sell you a dog ball
for 100G.  Buy it!  By throwing the ball for your dog, as long as he comes
back to you with it and barks at you, you can increase his intelligence a
bit every day.  You only have to throw the ball for him and have him bring
it back once per day; any other times you do won't have any effect.

Fall 3

 Today is the Music Festival.  After everything is done on the farm, go to
the church and head inside.  You need to arrive between 6:00PM and 6:50PM,
so don't slack off.  Once inside, talk to Carter to begin the festivities.
If you agreed yesterday to help him out, then you'll also be performing,
and everybody present will like you a bit better.

Fall 6

 The first of nine harvests is today.  Ship the Sweet Potatoes out, and use
the profits tomorrow to buy the Milker.

Fall 9

 The second of nine harvests is today, and it's also the Harvest Festival.
Ship your items out, and bring an egg to the festival.  Put the egg in the
hot pot, and everybody present will like you a bit better.  This game just
hands out the free affection, doesn't it?  Anyway, you should be able to
afford the barn upgrade now, but you won't be able to have Gotz start it
until the next harvest day.  Be sure to order the Pot from TV Shopping
tomorrow.

Fall 12

 The third of nine harvests is today.  Go see Gotz today, and have him
begin upgrading your barn.  Also, stop by the supermarket and buy 12 bags
of grass.  Plant them all on the far side of the field (you don't have to
water them, thankfully).

Fall 13

 Today is Moon-Viewing Day, and one of the rare holidays that all of the
shops are still open on.  Go and buy a new cow (or two) from Barley with
yesterday's harvest profits.  If you go up to Mother Hill between 6:00PM
and 8:00PM, you'll find the girl who likes you best up there.  View the
moon with her.

Fall 14

 Duke will come by today to ask you to help with the grape harvests.  Agree
to it, even if you don't plan to.  If you want Cliff to stay in the village
for the rest of the game, go and find him today and tell him about the job.

Fall 15

 The fourth of nine harvests is today.  Use the profits tomorrow for
another cow, and the Mixer from TV Shopping.  At 4:30PM, even if there's
crops left on the plants, head into town and go to the winery.  You need to
get there between 4:45PM and 4:59PM.  Participate in the grape-gathering,
and grab all 16 grapes (one of which is impossible to get if you don't get
it first thing; search the vine in the upper right first for grapes).  Do
this every day for the next six days (including today, of course).

 Here's the layout for the winery grapes:

Fall 18

 The fifth of nine harvests is today.  Use the profits Tuesday for two more
cows.

Fall 21

 The Sheep Festival is today, but since you don't have any sheep yet, there
is no point whatsoever in attending.  This is also the sixth of nine
harvests.  Tomorrow, invest in another cow.

Fall 24

 The seventh of nine harvests is today.  Invest yet again in cows, as well
as buying the Whisk from TV Shopping.

Fall 27

 The eighth of nine harvests is today.  Invest yet again in cows.  Starting
to see a trend here?  By now you should have (or be close to having) 10
cows.

Fall 30

 The ninth and final harvest is today.  Ship all of the sweet potatoes
out, saving a few if you wish for the icebox.  You won't be able to use the
profits until next season, but that's okay.

End of Season Profits: About 10,000G

Season's Goals:
* Upgrade the sickle to Mystrile
* Get 4 Power Berries
* Get the Clippers
* Get 5 sheep

Daily Chores:
* Take care of the animals
* Take care of the cows and sheep
* Take care of the chickens
* Forage (chop down the lumber, and mine in the winter mines; you can use
the basket to collect large amounts of minerals from the Winter Mines,
which will up your season's profits considerably)
* Fish (this isn't critical, obviously)

Predicted Season's Expenses: About 30,000G
Predicted Season's Profits: About 40,000G, possibly more if you mine

Winter 1

 The start of the season of rest...  Except, of course, that you'll
probably not be getting much rest at all.  Start the day the usual way,
and be sure to grab the Power Berry behind the winter mine.  Take your
basket and dig in the winter mine until you've filled the basket with 30
pieces of Orichalcum and/or Adamantite (just toss the Mystrile).  Doing
this should get you the winter mine Power Berry eventually, as well.  Be
sure to grab a few pieces of each type of ore to store in the cabinet, as
well.  That way, you won't have to wait until next Winter to collect it.
Oh yes, and be sure to order the Rolling Pin from TV Shopping today.  As
the season progresses, fish in the ocean for the elusive Power Berry found
in it.

Winter 8

 Order the Oven off of TV Shopping, and if you haven't already, get a
sheep.

Winter 10

 The Dog Race is today.  You can have your dog participate if you want.
Winning it doesn't really do much, so it's not mandatory.  By now, you
should be able to afford another sheep.  Be sure to keep getting sheep as
money comes available for them, and don't forget to keep your fodder (and
chicken feed) stock high!  I'll assume that you're buying your sheep when
money is available for them, and not mention it again.  Just be sure that
you have 5,000G available on the 15th and 22nd, and 2,500G available on the
29th.

Winter 14

 Winter Thanksgiving is today.  Any girl who has at least a purple heart
relationship with you (at least 10,000 affection, in other words) will show
up today and give you gifts, as long as you're not married (which isn't
even possible yet, since the house is still in stage 2).  Try and get every
girl up to at least 10,000 affection before this day, as you can get
Chocolate if you do (which is the rarest item in the game; you can't get it
any other time).  Tomorrow, be sure you order the Seasoning Set off of TV
Shopping.

Winter 22

 Order the Power Berry off of TV Shopping.  Good deal!

Winter 24

 This is the Star Night Festival.  If you have good relations with one of
the girls, talk to her on the 23rd several times, and she'll probably
invite you over to her place for dinner tonight.  If this does happen, be
sure to show up between 6:00PM and 7:50PM!

Winter 29

 Order the Frying Pan off of TV Shopping.

Winter 30

 This is the New Year's Party.  Go up to Mother Hill after all of your
day's work is done, to the peak.  Everybody is there, awaiting the first
sunrise of the new year.  Join in and gain some respect from the village.
The time to arrive is at midnight, surprisingly.

End of Season Profits: Varies; hopefully around 3,000G

Predicted Season's Expenses: About 75,000G
Predicted Season's Profits: About 80,000G

Spring 1

 Today is a festival.  After the day's work is complete, go to either the
inn or the square, depending on what group of people you want to like you
better.

 NOTE: During this season, until you have a full barn of 10 cows and 10
sheep, you should spend any available money on sheep.  Once you have a
full barn, buy the 9 bags of grass and plant them.  Once that is done, get
the house upgraded, and when that's taken care of, spring for the Mayo
Maker.  The reason for not listing the specific goals per day is because
your profits will vary according to how much you mined during Winter.

 NOTE 2: Your horse will also grow up at some point during this season.
As long as he has at least 8 hearts, you'll get to keep him, and as an
added bonus, you can start riding him.  When you ride your horse, you
increase his stamina (though you can only increase it once per day), and
this increased stamina will let him do better in the local horse race on
the 18th of Spring.

Spring 2

 The supermarket is closed today, so buy 6 bags of Cabbage Seeds from Won
and plant them.

Spring 3

 Get your supermarket seeds today.  Since you've already shipped a lot of
crops the previous year, you only need to buy 3 bags of Cucumber Seeds,
12 bags of Potato Seeds, and 1 bag of Turnips.  Plant the Cucumbers,
Turnips, and 4 bags of the Potato Seeds.  When the Turnips are ripe, store
them in your icebox.

Spring 8

 The Goddess Festival is today.  Chances are that this year, you'll be able
to ask a girl to go with you.  Whatever the case, attend it to make friends
with the villagers.

Spring 11

 The first batch of Potatoes is ready now.  Ship them out and replace the
freed-up field space with more Potato Seeds.  Do this again the next Potato
harvest.

Spring 14

 It's Spring Thanksgiving again, and this time, you can give cookies to the
girls.  Just bake some up in the kitchen, and give them to the girls at
some point during the day (but before 5PM, please!).

Spring 18

 The local Horse Race is today.  If you've taken good care of your horse,
and ridden it around since it grew up, you'll have a shot at winning.  Keep
trying until you do if you want the Power Berry for this season.  If not,
just leave it for year 3.

Spring 22

 The Cooking Festival is today.  If you want to win it, get some Relaxation
Tea Leaves from the Harvest Sprites some time before the 22nd, and on the
day of the festival, make the tea with as much as you possibly can.

Spring 30

 The last day of the season.  Be sure that you have everything done for
the season (including having saved some of each crop in the fridge), and if
you haven't yet, buy some Strawberry Seeds for next year.  Also, buy 4 bags
of Pineapple Seeds from Won (or more, if you want more money next season),
and 12 bags of Pink Cat Seeds.

End of Season Profits: At least 4,000G

Predicted Season's Expenses: About 80,000G
Predicted Season's Profits: About 100,000G

Summer 1

 Opening Day is today.  If you missed the Power Berry last year, you have
another shot at getting it this year.  The contest is still just as hard as
it was before, though.

NOTE: As with last season, no specific dates are given for getting the two
Maker machines or the Hothouse.  Get them when money is available for them.

Summer 2

 Buy 12 bags of Onion Seeds, 1 bag of Corn Seeds, and (if you didn't store
any Tomatoes last year) 1 bag of Tomato Seeds.  Plant 4 of the bags of
Onion Seeds, as well as the Pineapple, Corn, and Tomato Seeds.  Plant all
12 bags of Pink Cat Seeds on the far side of the farm.  Be sure to refresh
the Onion plots as harvests are made.

Summer 7

 The Sumo Chicken Festival has arrived again.  Enter your second-best hen
(seeing as your first should've won last year), and win again this year.
Some time soon, Anna should show up and ask to pick flowers.  Let her, and
she'll give you the last Power Berry.

Summer 12

 The Tomato Festival is back.  Attend if you'd like, but don't feel
pressured to.

Summer 20

 The Cow Festival is today.  Enter your original cow, and watch as it
begins producing Gold Milk.  Yum.

Summer 24

 The Fireworks Display is today.  Watch it with your best girl if you want.

Summer 30

 The last day of the season, and the checkpoint.  Make sure you have all of
the season's goals met, then start in on Fall.

 Season Overview: At this point, giving an in-depth walkthrough is no
longer necessary.  Simply make sure that you plant enough crops to unlock
the Spinach crop, with time to plant some once you do unlock it (4 plots of
Eggplants, 6 plots of Carrots (which you should refresh at the appropriate
time), and 2 plots of Green Peppers).  This season is very much lacking in
any real goals, since most everything was completed last season.

Year 4 and Beyond					[NYEAR4]

 As the first of Spring opens up in year 4, you'll receive your final
evaluation.  If you did everything as this walkthrough asked, then you will
most definitely get to keep the farm.  After this, it's just an endless
loop of doing the same stuff you did during year 3 (minus the minor goals
of planting the secret crops and finishing the recipes).  Congratulations
on completing Harvest Moon: Back to Nature!

Expert Walkthrough (The 1-Year Wonder Plan)		[WEXPERT]
----=

 This is for the truly dedicated only.  This walkthrough focuses on getting
the absolute most possible done in a single year.  Do not (I repeat, do
not) attempt this guide if you're not willing to dedicate every possible
minute as efficiently as possible.  Days that end before midnight are very
rare, and the only time spent not working is spent getting from place to
place to do more work.  Holidays are all but ignored.  This walkthrough is
very terse, as I expect an expert player already knows how to play the
game, and doesn't need step-by-step instructions for every little thing
(i.e. I assume you'll have the sense to get the Brush, Clippers, and Milker
when you need them, and that you don't need step-by-step instructions on
how to do things like plant crops and tend to animals).  I also assume that
an expert player knows to hop into the hot springs when their stamina is
running low.

 A NOTE TO THE EXPERT PLAYER: You can get much more bang for your buck, per
se, if you use the hot springs while you have a fair amount of fatigue
built up.  Since the springs simultaneously restore stamina and reduce
fatigue, you can work 'til you start getting sick, then just hop into the
hot springs for 50 minutes to get rid of the sickness completely, and
restore 100 stamina.  Take advantage of this useful feature; it will make
the task of gaining money via mining that much easier.

* Upgrade rucksack to medium size
* Get 3 Power Berries and the Mystic Berry
* Upgrade axe to Copper
* Upgrade hammer to Silver
* Upgrade watering can to Gold
* Save 16,200G for Pineapple Seeds and Pink Cat Seeds

Daily Chores (best done in the order shown):
* Take care of animals
* Tend to chickens
* Harvest and sell ripened crops
* Forage (mine for 10G bonuses, sell the Bamboo Shoots and Blue Grass, chop
down stumps once the axe is upgraded)
* Water the crops
* Clear the farm up

Season's Profits: ~50,000G

Spring 2

 Refuse the tour.  Go to the mine ASAP and start digging up 10G bonuses.
Get your money up to 2000G, and buy 4 bags of Cabbage Seeds.  Plant them,
then head for bed.

Spring 3

 A normal day.  Perform the daily chores, then go to bed.  Get at least 10
more bags of Cabbage planted by the 14th.  Before this, though, use your
mining profits to buy a chicken.  You should also get the copper axe
upgrade before the 16th.  Get the Power Berry from the mine, and the Power
Berry from the tree on Mother Hill as soon as you can.  Be sure to get the
Fishing Rod from Greg ASAP, too.  If you have all of this done and you find
yourself with the cash available, buy a package of turnips and plant them.

Spring 16

 Your first harvest of Cabbage is in.  Sell them all, then buy the medium
rucksack come the next day.  Buy one package of Turnips (if you haven't
already) and one package of Cucumbers, and plant them both.  If you already
planted the Turnips, donate 5 of them to the Waterfall Goddess for a Power
Berry once they're ripe.

Spring 22

 If you bought your Turnip seeds later, this is the day to dedicate your
Turnips to the Waterfall Goddess for a Power Berry.  Try to get the hammer
upgraded soon.  You should also get the Mystic Berry as soon as your
Cucumbers are ripe.

Spring 29

 Do your watering early today, and give your watering can to Saibara to
upgrade to gold.  Otherwise, normal day.

Spring 30

 The last day of the season.  If you have more than 16,200G on hand, feel
free to buy some extra seeds for next year, and/or upgrade the chicken coop
ahead of time.  Buy 16 bags of Pineapple Seeds and 1 bag of Pink Cat Seeds
from Won for next season.

* Water the crops
* Harvest grass that's ready

Season's Profits: ~120,000G

Summer 1

 Try to win the Opening Day swimming contest.  A turbo controller can
assure you victory.  The reward (a Power Berry) is critical.

Summer 2

 Plant your seeds (9-square plots from now on), go get your watering can,
and water them all.  You won't be able to forage as much today as you can
normally anyway.

Summer 7

 Take your original hen and win the Sumo Chicken Festival.  Upgrade the
chicken coop as soon as your mining makes money available for it.

Summer 22

 First pineapple harvest is today.  Tomorrow (if you haven't already), have
Gotz come and upgrade your house, have Saibara upgrade your axe, buy the
Basket and Large Rucksack, and buy as many cows as you can.  Be sure to get
at least one bag of grass per cow, and plant the grass.

Summer 28

 Second pineapple harvest is today.  Profits should go into buying more
cows, and the barn upgrade.  The rest of the season is unprofitable, so be
sure you have 5,000G saved up for Fall.  Feel free to buy seeds for next

 This is the guide for people who want to make the game bend to their will,
for those who have truly mastered the art of time management and priority
setting.  Taking on this challenge requires a level of dedication that even
Expert pales in comparison to.  Be aware that taking this challenge is pure
insanity if you're not fully prepared for it.  You will not find any room
for screw-ups in this guide, hence the secondary title.  If you're ready,
then delve in, and good luck.

Season's Expenses: ~90,000G

Fall 1

 Buy 16 Sweet Potato, 3 Eggplant, and 3 Carrot seeds.  Plant all of your

 Harvest Festival.  Attend, talk to everybody, add an Egg or Green Pepper
to the soup.

Fall 12

 Start Gotz on building the Hothouse.

Fall 13

 Moon-Viewing Day.  Don't bother with attending, there's no affection
changes.  Upgrade the hoe or hammer (depends on which you're comfortable
with, tilling the hothouse first thing or after getting the hoe back).  Buy
8 bags of Pineapple seeds by the 16th.

Fall 14

 Buy 6 bags of Carrot seeds and plant them in the flower area of your
field.  Duke will come by today and ask you to help out at the orchards.
Agree to it, and if you want Cliff to stay in the village, tell him about
the part-time job today.

Fall 15

 For the next 6 days, you'll need to visit the Aja Winery to pick grapes.
Halt work on the farm at 4:30PM (the harvest should keep you on the farm
this late today), and head for the winery.  You have between 4:45PM and
4:59PM to enter the winery, so you need to pay attention and get there
quickly.  Harvest all 16 grapes (there's one you'll have to go for ASAP, on
the vine in the upper right, before Cliff gets there), then resume your
farm work.

Fall 16

 Pick up the hoe (or hammer), upgrade the hammer (or hoe).  Plant the
hothouse with Pineapples, using the hothouse formation listed in the
Strategies section.

Fall 21

 Sheep Festival.  Attend, talk to everybody.  The fish pond should be
getting close to 50 fish.  Try to get it at least that full by Fall 29, so
you can have the Fishing Pole for Winter.

* Get 4 Power Berries
* Get the remaining kitchen utensils
* Buy lots of cooking supplies and cook up some recipes
* Buy seeds for the coming year
* Catch 3 of the King Fish

Daily Chores:
* Cook up new recipes (if you have the ingredients handy; best to do this
first, so you don't have to redo a full day if you make a slip-up)
* Take care of the animals
* Tend to the cows and sheep
* Tend to the chickens
* Forage (chop lumber if you need it, mine and sell the ore)
* Fish (I suggest the ocean; as usual, cut-off time is midnight, unless you
are after the Angler)

Season's Profits: At least 200,000G

Winter 1

 Get the two Winter Mine Power Berries, start Saibara on the Mayo Maker.
Fish for the ocean Power Berry, too.  Try and catch the Catfish from the
Winter Mine some time this season, and fish late at night in the ocean for
the Angler.

 Start Saibara on the Cheese Maker.

Winter 10

 Dog Race.  Attend, talk to everybody, win if you can.

Winter 12

 Start Saibara on the Yarn Maker.  If you haven't already, cook up all 4
fish-related recipes, and then start fishing for the Char in the stream.

Winter 14

 Spring Thanksgiving.  You should get at least 4 pieces of Chocolate due to
relationship levels with the girls.  Propose to the girl you like best
tomorrow (or today if you can reach her around 3:00PM).  Start shipping out
fish from your fridge (but don't use the Basket!).  Try to send out over
200 by mid-spring.  This shouldn't be too tough; even on a bad day, it's
possible to fish up 7 fish per day from the ocean and stream near the
house.

Winter 24

 Star Night Festival.  Attend it with your wife.

Winter 26

 Set this day aside for buying seeds for next year.  Get however many you
think you'll need, and maybe even extras for just in case.

Winter 30

 New Years' Eve.  Attend, talk to everybody, ending with Saibara.


Year 2 and Beyond					[MYEAR2]

 At the end of Winter, you should have around 200,000 to 300,000G saved up,
and (of course) everything of significance done.  Congratulations, you've
truly mastered HM:BTN!  See if you can get even more done in this span of
time.  It is possible to do better than even this walkthrough allows for.
Here's a hint on how: upgrade the Watering Can to Mystrile on Spring 10th.

Gameplay Challenges					[WCHALLENG]
----=

 This section is a list of things to challenge yourself with once normal
gameplay bores you.  Take a crack at them if you're getting tired of the
usual path to victory.  The last few make for a very interesting experience
indeed.

* CO (crops only) - Don't participate in any festivals, don't buy any
animals.  Basically, you can only work the field and get a girl to like you
well enough that you don't lose at the end of year 3.

* NM (no mining) - Don't mine for profit; only use the mine to get tool
upgrades and Maker machines, nothing else.  Not that much of a challenge,
but it does limit your output in winter.

* NA (no animals) - Don't buy any animals.  You can plant crops, and you
don't necessarily have to get married to win.

* NC (no crops) - Don't plant anything, only tend to animals and forage.
You have to marry by the end of year 3 to win this way, too.

* NCNA (no crops, no animals) - A mix of the two methods above.  You have
to get married by the end of year 3.  A pretty tough path to take.

* NCNANM (no crops, no animals, no mining) - The second-most difficult
challenge.  Basically, you can only forage and fish, and you have to be
married by the end of year 3.

* FO (foraging only) - The most challenging way to win (which isn't saying
a whole lot).  Only forage, nothing else.  You have to be married by the
end of year 3, as well.  It's tough, but quite possible.

Mineral Village Overview				[GGMINVIL]
----=

 Mineral Village is where the game takes place, of course!  This is a list
of everything important about the village.  Don't throw items on the ground
in the village (or other people's homes), by the way.  No matter how
innocent your intentions may be, you'll be littering if you do.


Business Hours						[GGHOURS]
=-=-=

 Of course, not every business (or house!) is open all the time.  This is
a list of shop working hours.  Obviously, shops are all closed on festival
days.

Saibara's Blacksmithy - 9:00AM to 4:00PM, closed Thursdays
Aja Winery - 9:00AM to 12:00PM, closed Saturdays
Library - 10:00AM to 4:00PM, closed Mondays
Chicken Lil's - 11:00AM to 4:00PM, closed Sundays
Yodel Ranch - 9:00AM to 3:00PM, closed Mondays
Gotz's House - 11:00AM to 5:00PM, closed Saturdays and Sundays
Supermarket - 8:00AM to 6:00PM, closed Tuesdays and Sundays
Clinic - 9:00AM to 6:00PM, closed Wednesday
Seaside Lodge - 8:00AM to 11:30AM & 1:00PM to 5:00PM daily (Summer)
Inn - 8:00AM to 9:00PM daily
Won's Seed Corner (at the Inn) - 1:00PM to 4:00PM daily
Church - 10:00AM to 5:00PM daily
Harvest Sprites - 10:00AM-5:00PM daily
Most houses - 10:00AM to 5:00PM daily (some houses are locked during
certain days when their inhabitants are elsewhere for the day)

 If you have high enough relationships with the people who live there, you
can enter homes and places of business before they officially open.  You
can't get any shop services until about an hour before official opening
times in most cases, though, and you can never get the services on a shop's
day off.  Shops also stay open an extra hour longer if you're good friends
with the owners.

Your Farm						[GGFARM]
=-=-=

 This is an overview of the farm's buildings, their functions, and how
they're upgraded (if possible).  No map is provided here, as the manual's
map does this job of explaining where everything is admirably (and the
in-game map isn't too shabby, either).

House - This is where you start and (hopefully) end each day.  You can save
your game here (when you go to bed), check the calendar for upcoming
events, store tools, change gameplay settings, and watch TV.  After the
first house upgrade, you'll also be able to cook food and store things in
the cabinet and refrigerator.
Upgrades: 1st House Expansion (370 lumber, 4700G), 2nd House Expansion (750
lumber, 10000G)

Doghouse - This serves no purpose whatsoever.  Your dog never uses it.
Upgrades: None

Barn - This is where your livestock go.  It starts out with a fairly
spacious 10 spots for animals, and can be expanded to a cavernous 20 spots.
Upgrades: Barn Expansion (500 lumber, 6800G)

Horse Stable - This is where your horse lives.  You don't have to actually
feed your horse, but it is a good idea to get him inside the stable if it's
raining.  It's even wiser to simply leave the horse in his stable all the
time, taking him out only when he's fully grown and able to be ridden.
Upgrades: None

Field - Ah, the field...  This is where you sow and reap the crops you
plant.  It's a bit of a mess at first, but that's not tough to fix.  You
can plant everything from the standard crops to grass and flowers out in
the field.  Basically, anything that you get as seeds has to be planted
out here (or in the hothouse).  The field has 45 by 25 plots of land (1125
total) to work with, so you'll likely never run out of room.
Upgrades: None (this isn't Harvest Moon GBC)

Chicken Coop - This is where your chickens go.  You can incubate their
eggs here, as well.  An incubated egg will hatch 3 days after it's placed
in the incubator.  The coop comes with 5 spots for chickens, and can be
upgraded to 10 spots.  Outside the coop is the mill.  Placing a piece of
corn in the water wheel will net you 10 chicken feed.  This is not the most
cost-effective way to get more feed, however.
Upgrades: Chicken Coop Expansion (420 lumber, 5000G)

Hothouse - You don't actually start with this, but you can have it built
once you have all of the other upgrades done.  It allows you to grow any
crop year-round.  Unfortunately, it's also subject to being completely
destroyed every time any hurricane or blizzard rolls in.  An expensive
investment to lose, to say the least.  Using the double-save trick (listed
in the Bugs and Exploits section), this is no longer an issue, and it
becomes a powerful tool to earn massive lucre via crops during any season.
Of course, by the time you can afford it, you'll probably have a solid
dairy making you massive lucre as it is.  On the whole, the Hothouse is
best for growing off-season crops for recipes, and corn for lots of easy
chicken feed.
Upgrades: Hothouse (580 lumber, 30000G)

 The expansions are offered in the following order: chicken coop, house,
barn, house, hothouse.


Taking Care of the Farm					[GGCARE]
-=-=-

 The farm doesn't just take care of itself, after all!  Here's an overview
of what you need to do to keep it in working order.

The Field: Since it starts as such a mess, you obviously need to clean it
up to be able to use it.  10 to 15 weeds pop up per day, and if you don't
take care of them, they can quickly take over your field.  Weeds are only
really annoying when they block access to crops or take up space where you
want to plow the earth, so feel free to ignore them if they're not doing
this.  Once Winter hits, all weeds vanish from the farm, and the cycle
begins anew in Spring.

The Crops: Crops are probably the least complicated thing on the farm to
tend to.  Once the seeds are placed, just be sure to water them daily, and
harvest the fruits and vegetables once they're ripe.  Crops are seasonal,
so unless they're grown in the hothouse, they'll wither during any season
other than the one that they're meant to grow in.

The Hothouse: Just like tending crops in the field, only time doesn't flow
since it's indoors.  Weeds don't pop up in the hothouse, either, so you
don't need to worry about clearing it up like you do the field.  You still
need to water in here on rainy days, because it is (of course) an enclosed
area.

The Dog: The dog is with you from the start.  Taking care of him is easy.
Just be sure to pick him up once daily, and whistle to him once daily.
Once he grows up, Won will sell you a dog ball.  By playing fetch with your
dog once daily, you can slowly raise his intelligence (which helps if you
plan to win the Dog Race on Winter 10).

The Horse: The horse is one of the first animals you'll get, and the only
one (other than your dog) that's free.  Simply brush the horse and whistle
to it daily to keep it happy.  When your horse grows up, assuming Barley
lets you keep it (it needs to have at least 8 hearts), you can start riding
it.  By riding your horse at least once daily, you can get his stamina up.
This stamina will help in winning the local Horse Race on Spring 18.

The Fish: Once you have at least 2 fish in your pond, you can start to
breed them.  Just put 1 unit of fish food in the pond daily (fish food can
be bought for 20G a unit at the Supermarket), and they'll grow up and
eventually spawn more fish.  This isn't the best way to fill your pond,
though; it takes about a five days for a fish to become a larger fish (and
about ten days to make new fish, if they're already adults), and the number
of fish that get spawned is always low.  The maximum number of fish the
pond can hold is 99.

The Chickens: Chickens are usually the first animals you actually buy.  To
tend to the chickens, you need only feed them (be sure to do this before
noon), and deal with their eggs (either sell them, make them into
Mayonnaise via Saibara's Mayo Maker, or, if there's room for more chickens
in your coop, incubate them).  If you get a chicken's affection for you
high enough, it can win the Sumo Chicken Festival on Summer 7.

The Cows: Cows are expensive, but the biggest money-makers on the farm.  To
tend to the cows, you need to feed them and talk to them daily (brushing
them is optional, and has no benefits).  Once they become adults, as long
as you keep feeding them daily, you can milk them with the Milker tool, and
sell their milk or turn it into Cheese via the Cheese Maker (which you have
to buy from Saibara).  A cow with high affection has a shot at winning the
Cow Festival on Summer 20.  You can impregnate a cow with the C.M. Potion,
which will produce another cow 20 days later.  This is not an advisable way
to get more cows.

The Sheep: Sheep are less expensive than cows, but also much less valuable.
To tend to the sheep, you need to feed them and talk to them daily
(brushing them is optional, and has no benefits).  You can clip their wool
off with the Clippers tool, and sell it or turn it into Yarn Balls via
Saibara's Yarn Maker.  A sheep with high affection can win the Sheep
Festival on Fall 21.  You can impregnate a sheep with the S.M. Potion (that
sounds vaguely erotic, doesn't it?), which will produce another sheep 20
days later.  This is not an advisable way to get more sheep.

 Try to keep your animals healthy, too.  If you ever have an animal die,
the entire village will think less of you (and the little halo with wings
icon will gain a number; that's how many dead animals your farm has had),
so be sure to keep them fed daily (and if they do fall ill, be sure to cure
them of their sickness with Animal Medicine).


Taking Care of Yourself					[GGCARE2]
-=-=-

 Of course, your character has his limits, too.  He starts with 100 stamina
at the beginning of the game, and most tools pick away at it slowly as you
use them.  Once stamina falls enough, your character will start complaining
about how tired he is via pantomimes.  Once he passes out and gets back up,
he starts getting fatigued.  When this happens, he only has 100 more
stamina to work with, and this extra stamina drains twice as fast.  As
well, as he continues to work, he gets sick, and eventually passes out,
losing the rest of the day.  You can double the time it takes for fatigue
to fill up completely with Kappa's Mystic Berry, but it's still a big
problem.  The simplest solution is to keep your stamina above 0 at all
times, and restore it in the hot springs when it starts to get low.  The
hot springs will reduce fatigue, but only at half of the pace that it
restores normal stamina; it takes 1 hour and 45 minutes of game time to
restore fatigue from 99 back to 0.

 When it's raining or snowing, the situation is even worse.  Your character
starts getting fatigued immediately as he uses tools, and his regular
stamina drops along with his fatigue going up, so he can basically only use
tools 49 times before he gets sick.  Fortunately, the Mystic Berry
completely removes this problem, and once you've gotten it, you can work on
rainy and snowy days as long as you do on normal days (and that's taking
into effect the Mystic Berry's bonus of slowing down how fast fatigue
rises!).  These effects also apply after 11:00PM on normal days.

 Other methods exist to restore stamina and reduce fatigue, of course.  You
can eat food items to restore stamina and reduce fatigue, as well as use
Bodigizer or Bodigizer XL medicine.  Fatigue can be reduced slightly during
the winter by placing a log in the fireplace of the second house extension.
And finally, Turbojolt and Turbojolt XL can be used to reduce fatigue by 20
and 50, respectively.  Try not to go to bed with more than 49 fatigue, as
this will cause the next day to start later (and as you fill your fatigue
up more, you'll start the next day later if you go to bed like that).

 You can increase your maximum stamina by 10 with each Power Berry you
find.  You can never increase your maximum fatigue, but if you eat enough
Power Berries, you won't really have any need to, anyway.  See the Secrets
sections for information on how to find all of the Power Berries.


The Harvest Sprites					[GGHARVEST]
-=-=-

 Of course, you don't have to do all of your work yourself.  You can hire
out the help of the Harvest Sprites, seven little elfling brothers who live
behind the church.  The Harvest Sprites start out liking you only a bit,
but you can make them like you better by giving them gifts (see the
Relationships and Gift-Giving section for what they like).  The better they
like you, the more likely they are to offer to help you out.  It's worth
noting that, if a blizzard or hurricane is due to hit your farm, the
Sprites won't come and work that day (so don't think hiring them out if one
is coming will help; it won't).

 You can assign the Harvest Sprites to any of three jobs: you can have them
water the crops, harvest the crops, or tend to the animals.  However, you
can't get them to do any of these jobs if any of them don't need to be done
today.  Unfortunately, they won't come to do their work until the next day,
either.  How well they perform is dependant on how often they've helped
out; the more they help, the better they get at helping out.  All Harvest
Sprites start out equally unskilled, and (very) slowly get better as they
continue to do their jobs.  The Harvest Sprites won't be able to get the
full affection boost for your barn animals when you ask them to take care
of them, either, since your farm animals need to be spoken to by you.  They
don't know how to use the Maker machines, either.  Also, they won't take
care of the chickens properly most of the time, so you'll end up having to
tend to the poultry.

 Harvest Sprites will lose a bit of their affection each day they work on
your farm, but it's a very small amount, and a single item that they love
will repair the "damage".


Getting Married						[GGMARRIED]
-=-=-

 This is entirely optional, but you can get married to one of the five
girls in town (any one of them, but not more than one; polygamy doesn't
exist in this game).  Once she's up to a red-heart relationship with you,
you can ask her to marry you with the Blue Feather (which you can either
buy at the supermarket for 1000G, or get swindled by Won for 30000G).  Of
course, she won't accept your proposal until your house has been upgraded
twice (so that it has a separate bedroom).  Just show a girl with a red
heart relationship the Blue Feather once your house is fully expanded, and
you'll be set!  Your wedding date will be exactly one week later (or 8 to 9
days later, if there's a festival in 7 days; it will be 9 days if you
propose on Winter 23).  The day of the wedding is a special one, so you
can't take care of your animals or crops that day; hire out the Harvest
Sprites before the big day.

 Of course, you do have to woo the girl of your choice.  There are several
ways of doing this, but the most effective way is to give her a lot of
presents that she loves on her birthday.  How effective is this, you ask?
It would take only 40 gift-wrapped loved items to bring a girl from a black
heart relationship to a red-heart relationship.  This would normally take
120 gift-wrapped loved items.  Other ways to boost their affection are to
answer to them appropriately in one of the events involving them (each girl
has at least 3), and to attend festivals.

 Upon getting married, the girl you chose will ask you to pick a name for
her to call you.  Pick whichever of the three you like best.  If you have
the original European version, then the game will lock up at this point
(which is definitely bad), but Japanese, US, and second version European
players have nothing to worry about.  From now on, the girl you married
will live with you!  Continue to give her things she likes, and she'll get
pregnant soon.  You'll know this happens when she complains that she's
feeling strange.  Go to the clinic ASAP when this happens, and it'll be
official that your wife is with child.  The child will be born about two
and a half seasons later, and you'll be able to name it whatever you want.
You won't be able to give your child any items until another two seasons
later, though.

 Don't mistreat your wife, or she might leave you.  If your wife's
relationship ever falls below a purple heart, she'll go back to her home.
To get her to come back to you, go to her place and apologize to her.
She'll go back up to a green-heart relationship with you once you do this,
and return to your farm the next day.  You can never lose your wife
completely (no matter how often you basically chase her out of the house),
so there are no worries about that.  Of course, you can never divorce her
either, so be sure you're really happy with the girl you choose.


Specialty Items						[GGSPECIAL]
=-=-=

Horse Race Prizes

 This is just a list of everything you can buy at the horse race, which
occurs on Spring 18 every year.  You earn medals by betting on horses at
the races with tickets, and having tickets placed on the winning horse.
Any unspent medals remain in your possession, and you can spend them next
year, if you want to.

* Mystrile Ore - 3 Medals
* Truffle - 12 Medals
* Bodigizer XL - 15 Medals
* Turbojolt XL - 21 Medals
* Earrings - 33 Medals
* Necklace - 35 Medals
* Bracelet - 42 Medals
* Power Berry - 1001 Medals (see note below)
* 500 Lumber - 97 Medals (see note below)

NOTE: You can only trade for one Power Berry.  After that, the Power Berry
is removed from the list.  Also, 500 lumber is not offered until after you
trade for the Power Berry.

TV Shopping Items

 After you upgrade your house once, the TV show What's Your Passion?! will
be replaced with TV Shopping.  Once this happens, you can order cooking
utensils off of TV Shopping on Saturdays by first watching the entire
program, and then going down to the inn and using their phone to order
the item they're selling.  Phone calls cost 10G, so you'll need at least
that much extra along with the price of the utensil.  Also, since the inn
is closed on holidays, any non-romantic holiday that falls on a Saturday
will prevent you from ordering a utensil.  Worry not, though; once all of
the items have been offered, the program starts over from the last item
that you don't have, and keeps offering whatever you're missing until you
buy them all.  Once you've ordered all of the items, What's Your Passion?!
returns.  Items you order arrive on Tuesday, or Wednesday if there's a
festival in Tuesday.

 The items are offered in this order, and for these prices:

* Knife - 3000G
* Frying Pan - 2500G
* Pot - 2000G
* Mixer - 2500G
* Whisk - 1000G
* Rolling Pin - 1500G
* Oven - 5000G
* Seasonings Set - 5000G
* Power Berry - 5000G


Festivals						[GGFESTIVL]
----=

 There are plenty of festivals and holidays in this game.  This is an
overview of each event, and their effects if you choose to attend (or not
attend).  For Holiday Type, if it's listed as Romantic, then the shipper
will still come by and pick up produce in the bin; for the other two types
(Get-Together and Competition), the shipper won't pick up the stuff put in
the bin on the festival day until the next day.  Obviously, Competition
festivals have something you can take part in, usually with some sort of
prize if you win.  Get-Together festivals are usually just events where you
talk to everybody and watch a cutscene.

Events
----=

 NOTE: This section is still under construction.  The majority of events
are listed here now, but some of them still lack an explanation of their
effects.

 Events are special occurrences, which can cause all sorts of things to
happen.  Usually, only one event involving any given villager can happen
per day (with a few exceptions), so you can't just go and see every event
on the first day.  I've divided the events up into three sub-sections:
girl, villager, and misc. events.

Girl Events						[GGEGIRLS]

Relationships and Gift-Giving
----=

 The people of the village will all come to like you, given enough time
and festival attendance.  But why wait for that?  You can give gifts to
speed up the process of people liking you by a considerable amount.  All
sizes of Eggs (except for Golden Egg), Mayonnaise, Milk, Cheese, Wool, and
Yarn Ball result in the same reaction, and any case where Fish is listed
without a prefix means that that person feels that way about all sizes of
fish.  Note that sometimes it's smarter to give a lot of liked items than
it is to give a few loved items.  Really, it depends on how common the item
in question is.

The Girls						[GGGIRLS]
=-=-=

 This is a list of what every girl loves, likes, is neutral towards,
dislikes, and hates.  Note that the second date listed for birthdays is
when their birthday will be if your birthday is on the first date listed.
Also, all girls get a special boost from jewelry pieces, and an even
bigger boost from Perfume.

The Villagers						[GGPEOPLE]
=-=-=

 This is a list of what every villager loves, likes, is neutral towards,
dislikes, and hates.  All villagers love the jewelry pieces, so those are
not listed here.

Sasha - Sasha is Jeff's wife, and she's frequently angry at him for letting

Gray - Saibara's grandson, who is constantly in the shadow of his elder.
He despises the way Saibara just ignores him or puts him down, and is only

interests with Mary.

unemotional man, except when he's talking with Elli.  Most of the village

Cliff - A drifter, Cliff left his own village for reasons unknown (though
they seem to have to do with his family), and came to Mineral Town.  He's
homeless, jobless, penniless, and relies on the kindness of others to
survive.  He can't help but like Ann, if only because she resembles his
younger sister.  A very likeable fellow, though apparently ravenous, given
his love of just about everything you can cook.

left to look for a cure for Lillia's illness, but she just wishes that he

Rick - Lillia's son, Popuri's brother, and the maintainer of the chickens
at the Poultry Farm.  Ever since his father left to look for a cure for
Lillia's illness, Rick has taken it upon himself to be a substitute father
for Popuri.  Rick despises Kai, mainly because Kai likes his sister so
much (or is it because Popuri likes Kai so much?  It's hard to say...).

Manna - Duke's wife, and the manager of the Aja Winery.  Manna talks a lot.
And I do mean a lot.  She'll spout four pages' worth of dialogue in
response to just about anything you give her, and she makes buying wine and
grape juice an arduous task with all of her inane babble.  Making friends
with her may lead you to the brink of insanity.  You have been warned.

warmer all year round than Mineral Village; he complains that it's cold in

a big deal, given that I've recorded all of the data here.

Your Baby - This is your kid!  He doesn't exist when the game starts, and
you can't give him any gifts until two seasons after he's born, but he
still deserves a place amongst the villagers.  Interestingly enough, items
that he hates don't cause his relationship to go down with you (though this
may be limited to the US version; I'm not sure just yet).

Daily Schedule: In your house (all day) 

Birthday: Whenever your wife gives birth to him.  Were you expecting a
fixed date?

The Harvest Sprites					[GGSPRITES]
=-=-=

 This is a list of what every Harvest Sprite loves, likes, is neutral
towards, dislikes, and hates.  They actually all have the exact same likes
and dislikes, so there's only one table of those listed here.  They're
always in their house (unless you've hired them out), so they don't have
any daily schedules listed.

Chef - The cook of the sprites, Chef is the least likely to offer his
services at harvest time.  He's the one in red.

Birthday: Fall 14

Nappy - Nappy loves to play, and though he's not a big fan of work, he will
do it if you ask him nicely.  He's the one in orange.

Birthday: Winter 22

Timid - As his name suggests, Timid scares easily.  He doesn't like working
with animals, since they frighten him.  He wears green.

Birthday: Summer 16

Hoggy - Hoggy is a bit of a glutton, but reliable enough as a farm worker.
He's the one in yellow.

Birthday: Fall 10

Staid - Staid loves work.  He'll gladly take any job you offer him.  He
wears dark blue.

Birthday: Spring 15

Bold - Bold is the most neutral of all the sprites, despite his name.  He's
fairly easy to get work help from.  He wears purple.

Birthday: Spring 4

Aqua - The most vain of all the Harvest Sprites, Aqua is mainly concerned
with how good he (she?) looks.  Not a very devoted worker.  This one loves
to wear light blue.

Birthday: Spring 26

Produce Guide						[GGCROPS]
----=

 As found in most walkthroughs, this is a list of what each crop is worth,
how much the initial cost of the seeds is, how long it takes to grow, etc.
However, all of these values are 100% confirmed.  Growth time takes into
account the time taken from the day that the crop is planted on up to the
day that the crop is harvested.  The stages of growth listed are how many
phases the plant goes through (not counting the seed phase).  Regrowth time
is the time from harvest to next growth, excluding the actual day of the
next harvest.  Potential profits listed are for a constant season of
growing that crop (from day 1 to day 30), with constant refreshing, and
subtracting seed price from the profits.  The profit per harvest does not
take into account the seed costs, only the amount of money you make each
time you harvest a single 8- or 9-square plot of that crop.  Note that the
9-square harvest potential profits require at least a Silver Watering Can,
since you can't reach the middle crop of a 9-square plot otherwise.  Crop
profit rank is based off of the 9-square harvest potential profits, when
compared to all other crops.  Hothouse Rank works the same way, but is in
consideration of how much a crop is worth for one full year in a hothouse,
starting from seed and with constant refreshing of the non-regrowing crops.

Fishing Guide						[GGFISH]
----=

 Some people enjoy the fishing function in this game.  If you're amongst
those people, then you'll probably want to know about some of the stuff you
can do with fishing (like catching the King Fish, which can only be caught
when specific circumstances are met), and how the fishing is in the spots
where you can fish.  Below is the list of each of the King Fish, and where
to find them.  I suggest you use the Fishing Pole (not the Rod) to try and
catch any of these.  Most of them are very easy to catch, and can usually
be caught within a single day's worth of trying.  The trick is to meet the
requirements, of course.

Catfish - This one is in the winter mine's lake, and can't be reached until
Winter (obviously).  There are no requirements for catching it, making it
the easiest one to fish up.

Angler - Fish in the ocean in the early hours (6:00AM to 8:00AM) or the
dead of night (10:00PM to 5:50AM), during Winter.

Char - Get all of the fish-related recipes (Grilled Fish, Sashimi, Sushi,
and Chirashi Sushi), then fish in the river/pond near the Hot Springs (not
where it runs past your own farm).  You can do this during any season,
fortunately.

Squid - This one only appears during the Summer.  Throw a Small Fish into
the ocean, and then keep fishing.  The Small Fish only works for one day,
so if you fail to catch it, you'll have to toss another one in the next
time you try.

Sea Bream - Ship out at least 200 fish total.  This is not even remotely
easy to do, since you can only catch one fish at a time, and they breed
very slowly in the fish pond.  Once you have met this requirement, go
fishing in the ocean during any season but Summer.  NOTE: You HAVE to ship
out the fish for this King Fish by hand; the game doesn't count it if
they're put in the Basket first!

Carp - Caught in the lake during Fall, after having caught all 5 other
King Fish.

 Next, we have the overview of each and every fishing spot.

Spot: Stream running by the farm
Fish Types: Small Fish
Fish-to-Trash Ratio: 1 fish to 3 trash
Time to Catch: 5 minutes to 1 hour
Difficulty: Easy
Notes: This is the worst place to fish.  The only time it's even remotely
reasonable is if you have only the Fishing Rod and it's Winter.

Spot: Goddess waterfall pond
Fish Types: Small Fish, Medium Fish
Fish-to-Trash Ratio: 1 fish to 2 trash
Time to Catch: 10 minutes to 2 hours
Difficulty: Average
Notes: The fishing here is okay, but I don't advise you bother with it.
There are better catches not far away at the lake, and it takes less time
up there.

Spot: Mother Lake
Fish Types: Small Fish, Medium Fish
Fish-to-Trash Ratio: 2 fish to 1 trash
Time to Catch: 10 minutes to 1 hour 30 minutes
Difficulty: Average
Notes: This is the best spot to fish.  The only downside to it is that it's
the furthest away from home.  I suggest you use it for all of your fishing
purposes, even after you get the Fishing Pole; it's possible to pull up 8
fish in 6 hours there, which makes catching the Sea Bream that much easier.
Note that you can fish here in winter, even though the majority of the lake
is frozen.  If you go to the bridge, you'll see that there's no ice near
where the waterfall flows.  Just cast out on either side of the bridge, and
you should hit water.

Spot: Ocean
Fish Types: Small Fish, Medium Fish, Large Fish
Fish-to-Trash Ratio: 1 fish to 1 trash
Time to Catch: 10 minutes to 1 hour
Difficulty: Hard
Notes: If you're feeling especially masochistic, you can do all of your
fishing here.  The difficulty of catching fish here is atrocious, though,
so I advise you only fish for the Power Berry out here until you have the
Fishing Pole.  Once you do have said Pole, though the ocean is the best
spot to fish for variety, it's far too time-consuming if all you're after
is a lot of fish.

Spot: Winter Mine underground lake
Fish Types: None (King Fish only)
Fish-to-Trash Ratio: N/A (though you only catch fish bones down here for
garbage; that's one hungry Catfish!)
Time to Catch: 20 minutes to 3 hours (when converted; time doesn't pass
indoors, so no time actually does pass)
Difficulty: Very Hard
Notes: Since you can only catch the Catfish here, there's no point to fish
here once you've pulled that fish up.

 The Fishing Pole makes the task of fishing monumentally easier.  It takes
half as long to catch something when using it, and it ups your chances of
catching the King Fish.  You can get it by having 50 or more fish in your
pond, and talking to Greg when he stops by to admire your well-stocked fish
habitat.  Be sure you have a free slot available in your rucksack, and
don't enter any buildings once he shows up until you've gotten the Pole
from him, or you'll never be able to get it!

 And finally, some strategies that might help you fish.  Try to set a time
limit for how long you'll wait for a fish to tug on your line, or you could
end up spending a lot of time waiting to pull up a piece of trash.  The
limits I suggest are 30 minutes for the stream by the farm, 40 minutes for
the waterfall pond and lake, and 50 minutes for the ocean.  Keep your eyes
on the clock, but also keep a lazy eye on your character.  It's much easier
to catch fish this way, because if you're entirely focused on your
character, your reaction time can actually drop.  Having vibration on can
be a good thing or a bad thing, depending on how you respond; if it's
throwing your timing off, turn it off via the bookshelf at home.  The last
tip I'll provide is to keep at it.  Fishing takes a bit to get the hang of,
and few will ever be able to get good enough at it to catch everything that
tugs at the line, but it is a good way to pass the time on slow Winter
days.

Strategies						[GGSTRATGY]
----=

 This is a list of various strategies and methods to better spend your game
time, and get more done each day.  If you find that things are just too
tough, or that you just don't have enough time, then the tactics listed
here might just help you out a bit.


Layout Strategies					[GGSLAYOUT]

* Decide on a farm layout even before you've finished clearing it up.  The
lay of your farm decides much of how your time will be spent during 3/4ths
of the game.

* It's a good idea to set aside some land in one corner of the farm for
flowers, since you'll have to grow a lot of them to get one of the Power
Berries.  Be sure to set out at least 10 plots' worth, and don't worry
about spacing the plots out; flowers don't regrow, so you only need to
provide enough room to water them.

* Use the set-aside flower area for non-regrowing crops once you've gotten
the Power Berry that the flowers gain for you.  It's an excellent use of
the space, as you won't even have to re-plow it.

* No matter how you choose to lay things out, be sure you have some of your
plots near the shipping bin.  Give those plots top priority for the fastest
growing or most valuable crop of the season you're in.

 Here are some popular layouts for the field.  The fences are optional,
except for the ones that form the animal pens, so feel free to omit them.
Also, you can substitute the inner fences of animal pens with lumber, but
you can't substitute the outer fence with rocks; wild dogs can and will run
straight through them.

 Have a good layout that's not listed here?  Send it my way via the e-mail
address in my contact information, and if it's a good one, I'll add it to
the guide and you'll get credited for it!

Key:
x = plowed earth
o = grass
r = small rock
c = lumber

Patchworks: A curious and somewhat abnormal planting technique that leads
to greater yield than other formations that also allow for grass.  Just the
ticket for a go-getter planter, especially since you can easily convert a
few standard plots into condensed plots, for ease of planting the
non-regrowing crops.  Watering is a royal pain before you have a Gold or
Mystrile watering can, though.  60 standard plots, 3 condensed plots.

Crop Strategies						[GGSCROPS]

* Always keep in mind how much time you have left during the season, and
plant your crops accordingly.

* Plant regrowing crops early in the season.  Since they grow back, you'll
get more money for your efforts that way.

* Plant intelligently.  If you can't hit the middle crop of because of
your watering can's level, then don't make 9-square plots (unless you're
willing to let a plot be mostly unused as you grow that last vegetable or
fruit).

* Always water your crops at some point during the day.  Even if it's at
10:00PM, just be sure they get watered.

* Don't plant more than you can handle.  Consider your character's stamina
limitations, as well as the limits your tools and the game clock impose
on you, before you buy and place your seeds.

* If you don't mind losing a harvest of a crop (in some cases, anyway), you
can stagger the plantings of regrowable crops.  This will make it so that
you don't have to deal with the full harvest of fast-regrowing crops each
day, but rather deal with half or a third of the harvest per day.  Just
plant the groups of seeds one day apart each to get this effect.

* Hire out the Harvest Sprites whenever you can for harvesting crops.  It's
what they're best at, and it'll save you a lot of time.

* Use the basket intelligently.  Place it at intersections between crop
groupings (as pictured below).

Key:
o = unharvested crop
x = harvested crop
b = basket

o o o   o o o
o o o   o o o
o o o   o o o
      b
o o o   o o o
o o o   o o o
o o o   o o o

From here, gather all of the inner fruits/vegetables.

o o x   x o o
o o x   x o o
x x x   x x x
      b
x x x   x x x
o o x   x o o
o o x   x o o

Then, gather the outer crops for three of the plots (two if the crops are
non-regrowing), so that the basket has less than 30 items in it.  Deposit
the harvested goods in the shipping bin.

x x x   x x x
x o x   x o x
x x x   x x x

x x x   x x x
x o x   x o o
x x x   x o o

Do this for all ripened crop groupings on the field, then gather the left-
overs for one or two final basket-loads.

* Once you have the hothouse, if you have extra money available for seeds
and are growing regenerating crops, try using this planting formation for
maximum harvest output:

o o o o o o o
o o o   o o o
o   o o o   o
o o o   o o o
o   o o o   o
o o o   o o o
o o o o o o o

* If you have a hothouse and are growing non-regrowable crops, try this
pattern instead:

o o o o o o o
o o o o o o o
o o o o o o o
o o o   o o o
o o o o o o o
o o o o o o o
o o o o o o o


Animal Strategies					[GGSANIMAL]

* Try and get the pony during the first Spring, so you don't have to plant
grass to get it.  Though you'll probably end up planting quite a bit of
grass anyway (unless you don't plan to raise livestock, or plan to raise
livestock solely on Barley's fodder), it's better to get the pony with
little to no effort involved, and as early as possible.

* Don't do more than is necessary to take care of each animal.  Just do
each thing required for each animal once per day.

* Don't forget to take care of the animals each day.  It's easy to forget
the dog and the pony, but they're just as important to tend to as the
money-producing animals are.

* Keep animals indoors.  Keeping them outdoors leads to all sorts of
hassles, whereas if they're kept inside, they're always safe, not taking
up valuable field space, easy to feed, and easy to tend to (as well as the
time-freezing factor that takes place while indoors).

* Always keep mental track of whether or not you've fed the animals.  This
is more important than anything else, since they stop producing for a bit
and lose affection if you forget to feed them.

* Deal with the animals the same way each day.  If you feed the cows first
and talk to/milk them second (for example), always take care of them that
way.  It will make matters easier on you, as you'll have a more solid
schedule to work with, and you'll be less likely to forget something.

* Always keep at least a three-day cache of chicken feed and fodder
available, so festivals and shops' days off don't catch you off-guard.


Quick-Profit Strategies					[GGSPROFIT]

* The mines are an infinite source of money, albeit in small increments.
This can be very helpful early on, so make mining a top priority when
farming isn't getting you the profits you need.  Dig for 10G bonuses on the
first floor, exit the mine once it's cleared out, then go back in and dig
again.  Keep it up until your character starts to get sick, then take a dip
in the hot springs.

* Buy the basket before almost anything else.  It is, above all else, a
great profit-making device and a serious time-saver.

* Once you have the basket, the mines can provide even more profit.  Dig
down to the bottom, and fill the basket with Silver, Gold, and Mystrile,
then sell the basket load.  It will almost always result in a bigger gain
than just digging for 10G bonuses.

* Foraging items in the Mother Hill area and selling them is always a good
idea if you need a quick bit of money, and should be part of your daily
schedule.  Once you get the first house extension, you may want to save
your foraged goods in the refrigerator instead.

* Getting a chicken early on and incubating more chickens is an excellent
idea.  Chickens are not huge profit-makers, but the small, steady amount of
money per day can and does add up.

* Use the chicken coop shipping bin when sending foraged goods out.  It's
closer to the Mother Hill entrance to the farm, and time doesn't flow
inside buildings, so you're not rushed to get things shipped.

* Upgrade the watering can as soon as possible during the first Spring, to
Gold (or Mystrile). The loss of 2 or 3 days' worth of crop growth is worth
the boost in productivity that the upgraded watering can provides.

* The first Spring is a good time to save up money to buy Pineapple Seeds
for Summer.  If your Spring is not getting you a whole lot of lucre, just
save up enough money for 10 to 20 bags of Pineapple Seeds, plant them on
the 2nd of Summer, and you'll have big-time profits by the end of that
season.

* Fall is the ultimate quick-profit season.  Sweet Potatoes are worth a
lot of money, and regrow quick.  If all else has failed in your efforts to
make money, Sweet Potatoes won't fail you.  Just keep in mind the huge
chunk of time they will rip out of your daily schedule when you have to
harvest them every 3 days.  You may even want to save harvesting 'til all
other stamina-related tasks are complete, and get your profits from the
harvest given to you the next day instead.


General Strategies					[GGSGENERL[

* Work out a schedule ahead of time, and stick to it.  Try to get stamina-
related tasks (anything that requires tools, essentially) out of the way
before 10:00PM, and get shipping done before 5:00PM.  Making tending to the
animals the first thing on the schedule is a good idea, since they're the
easiest thing on the farm to forget to tend to.  Unless you're selling the
goods, always save foraging for late night (though you can and should do
some foraging while chopping lumber).

* Keep a checklist (be it mental, typed, or hand-written) of what needs to
be done each day, and take time to check things off as you do them.  Once
you are used to your daily schedules, this won't be as important, but it
can really help early on.  Go over the checklist at the end of the day, and
make sure you've completed everything.

* Abuse the hot springs!  Their power is remarkable, almost unbalancing.
You can work your character to the point that they start feeling ill, hop
in the hot springs for 50 game minutes, and have them back in tip-top shape
just like that.

* Abuse the hot springs some more!  Before you go to bed each night, take
an hour soak in the springs.  This will have as much (indeed, more) effect
as going to bed at 6:00PM does on you, and it's much less time-consuming.
It extends the time you can work each night to as late as 5:00AM.

* Abuse the hot springs even further!  Since the springs are right next to
the mine, you can combine the two strategies of mining for profit and using
the hot springs to make a decent profit in a very short span of time (game-
time-wise).

* Always keep in mind the schedules of the other villagers when trying to
interact with them.  Try and intercept them somewhere indoors, so time
doesn't keep flowing onwards while you're giving them gifts.

* Get upgrades as you need them, instead of when you can afford them. If
you don't need it yet, then buying it won't do you any good.  Exceptions
apply when you have a strategy planned out that requires the purchase of an
upgrade before it's necessary.

* Until you have the Mystic Berry, don't work past 10:00PM.  The game gives
serious penalties for working so late.  Once you have it, try not to do any
stamina-related work past midnight.

* Though they may seem useful, Bodigizer and Turbojolt medicine are highly
over-priced.  The only advantage they have over other means of restoring
stamina and fatigue is that you can use them anywhere, any time.  They are
never necessary, however, if you plan ahead.

* On festival days, if you don't have enough time to get everything on your
farm done before the festival, work with this plan: feed and tend to the
animals first, and do all stamina-related work (watering, chopping lumber,
etc.) before 2:00PM.  Go to the festival, and finish all non-stamina tasks
(harvesting, foraging, etc.).  This obviously only applies to festivals
that start at 10:00AM, though most of the festivals are that way.

* Don't panic.  Remember, you have 3 game years in which to accomplish what
can be done in half a game year, potentially far less.  Time is in fact on
your side, and as long as you don't just give up, chances are you'll do
just fine.  You don't have to master the game to win it, you just have to
be sure you keep moving in the right direction.  It doesn't matter how fast
you're going, just that you are.


Secrets							[GGSECRETS]
----=

 These are all of the gameplay features that the game itself never directly
tells you about, or doesn't give you much detail about.

Special Crops

 There are three special crops: Strawberries, Pumpkins, and Spinach.  These
crops are growable in Spring, Summer, and Fall, respectively, and are
accessed by shipping 101 or more of each other type of crop for the season
first (so for Strawberries, you would have to ship 101 Turnips, 101
Potatoes, 101 Cucumbers, and 101 Cabbages minimum to unlock them).  These
crops are all pretty average in value, but all are required in at least
one recipe each.

Power Berries

 Power Berries increase your stamina.  They're critical, to say the least,
once your farm starts to take off, since 100 stamina is nowhere near
enough to tend to everything on a full farm.  Each berry gives you 10
more stamina, and restores your stamina entirely when you first get them.
Below is the list of how to get all 10.

* Given to you by the tree on Mother Hill if you choose to not cut it down
* Dug up inside the mine
* Caught in the ocean during Spring or Winter
* Given to you by the Goddess for 5 crops
* Prize at the horse races
* Won from the swimming contest
* Outside of the winter mine
* Dug up inside the winter mine
* Bought off of TV Shopping
* Given to you by Anna if you have 91+ flowers planted, and you let her
pick as many as she likes; she may need to like you a bit before she'll
visit to pick them (this is unconfirmed); she'll also drop by after noon,
so you'll have to enter and leave your house around that time for her to
show up

 And here is how to get the Mystic Berry, which reduces the rate at which
fatigue rises.

* Given to you by Kappa on any sunny day after noon; throw 3 Cucumbers at
him (NOTE: If you're wondering, there's a good reason for why you have to
throw cucumbers.  Kappa are a type of water sprite in Japanese mythology
that will leave you in peace if you throw a cucumber with your name carved
into it at them.)

 See below for a rough map of where to throw the Cucumbers.  Basically,
anywhere on the little peninsula will do, as long as you're facing out at
the lake, and not towards the mine.

T = Trees above the path

The Goddess of the Waterfall

 You can summon this goddess by tossing crops into her pond (any will do).
If you toss 5 crops into it, she'll give you a Power Berry.  Toss in 5
more, and you'll get a special event with the girl that has the most
affection for you at the hot springs that will boost her affection for you.
Donate 10 more, and the goddess will give you some special lumber, which
you give to Gotz automatically and get 1000G.  You can only summon the
Goddess on sunny non-festival days, and only before 6:00PM.


"Winning" the Game (Playing Past Year 3)		[GGWINNING]
----=

 On Spring 1 of Year 4, your farm will be evaluated.  If you've met some
(very easy) requirements, then you'll get to keep it.  These are the known
basic requirements:

* Ship out at least 11 farm-produced items total
* Plant at least 101 crops total
* Have 500 affection or more with at least one girl

 If you are married by the end of Year 3 (not engaged to be married; you
can still be kicked off the farm that way), then you'll win even if you
somehow fail to meet the above criteria.

 The farm score, though unrelated to winning, should still be broken down
here.  Take note that it's impossible to get 100% completion, since there
are 16 too few recipes.

10% Power Berries*
10% dog's hearts
10% horse's hearts
10% house expansions
10% chickens owned
20% cows/sheep owned
10% wife's hearts
10% baby's hearts
8% recipes (1% per 8 recipes)
--------------------
98% completion

* - Power Berries don't count towards farm score on some versions of the
game.  In these cases, 88% is the maximum farm completion.


Bugs and Exploits					[GGBUGS]
----=

 This particular Harvest Moon has a number of bugs in it.  Here's an
overview of all of the significant ones, their effects, and what to do
about them.

Naming Bug

 This one is pretty rare, but some combinations of character, farm, and dog
names will cause the game to make you start out with 1 stamina left (in
fact, your character will fall on his rump sweating during the game's intro
sequence!).  It seems to happen only when you input 8 letters for all of
the names, though it might be more specific than that.  The obvious
solution is to make sure that at least one of the names is less than 8
letters long.

Power Berry Bug

 This only exists in some versions of the game.  Power Berries won't cause
the farm score percentage to go up (they're supposed to).  They still give
their boost to maximum stamina, but players of these versions of the game
will be unable to get above 88% completion.

Doorway Bug

 If an animal is placed too close to a door (outside only), then they can
become stuck there, and you won't be able to pick them up, since the door
takes priority over the animals.  The dog and horse can usually be freed
from this by whistling to them.

Clipping Plane Bug

 This is actually a fairly common problem in 3D games, but it's quite
pronounced in Harvest Moon.  If you try to go up certain stairways at just
the wrong angle, you can become stuck in them.  In these cases, there's
usually very little that you can do to get free.  This bug also can result
in your character falling through the ground when jumping over things,
though this is a very rare occurrence.

Overload Bug

 This only happens when the game is played on a PS2.  If too many objects
are present on the farm's field, the game will overload the PS2 and crash.
This is a very rare bug to encounter, and (surprisingly enough) entirely
absent when playing on a PS1.

Dog Ball Bugs

 The Dog Ball is a tricky item.  If it becomes stuck somewhere that you
cannot reach, it will simply disappear once you leave the area and re-
enter.  Also, sometimes the dog ball will simply vanish for no reason when
the dog picks it up, when you pick it up, etc.  Also, if you have more than
one dog ball, you can only ever have one on the ground; any second ball
tossed about will cause the first to disappear.  Of course, since Won is
constantly trying to sell you this toy, this is far from a dangerous series
of bugs.  Speaking of Won, sometimes the game will forget that you already
have a dog ball, and he'll constantly come to sell you a new one, even
though you already have at least one.

Popuri Bug

 Even though Popuri leaves with Kai if they get married, she still shows up
at all of the festivals.  She also apparently shows up at Chicken Lil's,
albeit upstairs.

Wedding Bug (Original European release only!)

 After getting married, your new wife will ask you what you want to be
called.  However, after selecting a choice, the game simply locks up.  This
was fixed in the later version released in Europe, and is not present in
the US or Japanese releases.

Skipped Wedding Glitch (All versions!)

 This is a different Glitch from the one above.  If you propose on certain
days, and are scheduled to marry on the day before select festivals, the
day will pass as a normal day.  This is because the game sees that it's an
event day (even though it's not a festival), and that tomorrow is a
festival, but that's as far as it's been coded to be able to store data.
As such, the wedding gets passed over.  However, the wedding will still
take place on the day after the festival, so don't panic.

Nickname Bug

 When you get married, your wife asks what you want her to call you.  If
you select Honey, she will continue to call you by your entered name
instead.

Winter Thanksgiving Bug

 Sometimes, a girl will come to your farm twice on Winter Thanksgiving.  It
won't happen every time, and seems to have something to do with going into
your barn after eating the gift they gave you (though it may be something
else).  This bug can be annoying if a girl comes and gives you two cakes,
as it will usually prevent you from getting a piece of chocolate from
another girl.

Harvest Sprite Bugs

 The Harvest Sprites never come to work during hurricanes or blizzards,
even though the game insinuates that you should hire them out if one of
these disasters is coming.  This bug might be limited to certain versions
of the game; no confirmation just yet.  Also, the Harvest Sprites don't
take care of the chickens properly; the food they put in the chickens' food
bins isn't recognized by the game as food.  Note that this chicken-feeding
problem does not seem to happen if you don't go outside at all on days when
you've hired out the Sprites.  And lastly, the Sprites can only be hired
when whatever chore you want them to do still hasn't been completed on your
farm yet on the day you hire them.  Since they won't come to work until the
next day, this "feature" is more of a bug.

Save Bug

 This is the killer.  It's very, very rare, but very, very annoying.  For
no discernable reason, the game will sometimes freeze while scanning your
memory cards.  This doesn't damage any of the data on the cards, but it
does mean that anything you've done since you last saved is now lost.

Upgrade Bug

 One of the key reasons to not let your animals roam freely is this one.
While upgrading the farm, your animals can get stuck inside the expansions
made to your buildings.  Normally, if an animal has something appear below
it overnight, the animal it "teleported" back to a set location, but since
the expansions aren't on the field, this doesn't apply to them.

Animal Trading Bugs

 If you trade an animal to another farm that's currently entered in an
upcoming festival (for cows and sheep, of course), then the other farm will
not have these animals in their barns, but the animals will still behave
like they are there.  The bug can be reversed by entering those animals in
the appropriate festivals on the game that they got transferred to.  If you
transfer a chicken that you're currently holding, then the chicken will
disappear when you put it down.

Analog Switch Exploit

 When you press the analog switch on the controller (obviously, you can't
use this exploit with the original PS1 controllers), the game acts as
though you're no longer pressing any buttons, even if you have a button
held down.  This can make fishing much easier.  Hold down the S button, and
keep your other thumb over the analog switch.  When you get a tug on the
line, press the analog switch, and the game will immediately forget that
you have S pressed.  Since it's easier to time button presses than button
releases, this really does help.  This exploit is actually true of every
PS1 game, whether or not it supports analog (though the controls will not
respond at all on pre-analog games once analog mode is on).

Orange Cup Fruit Exploit

 Orange Cup Fruit, despite being a hothouse crop, can be grown in the field
in any of the three crop-raising seasons.  Just plant a bag of seeds and
keep watering them.  After a few days, the seeds will vanish, and you might
think that they're lost, but you'll also notice that you can't walk onto
the plot of land that the seeds were on.  They're still there, but the game
can't render them.  Keep watering them, and harvest them at the appropriate
time.

Held Item Exploit

 If you have a single sick chicken, and you can't get into either of the
two shops that sells animal medicine, grab the ill bird and stay outside
holding it until the next day dawns.  Since the bird is in your hands, the
game doesn't check to see if the bird should die, and it will live.  This
exploit only works on one chicken at a time, so if two birds are scheduled
to die tomorrow, you're going to lose one of them.

Dog Ball Exploit

 There is a positive side to the dog ball bugs.  You can replicate a dog
ball by grabbing it just as the dog grabs it.  This is very precisely
timed, so it may take a few tries to pull off.

Stamina Exploits

 As you use tools, your stamina drains and your fatigue builds up.
Normally, you'll lose the entire day if you hit 100 fatigue.  But if an
event must take place on a day (such as the mayor greeting you on the first
real day, or Harris asking about Won on the second day), fatigue will stop
at 99 while using tools indoors, meaning that you can use your tools
infinitely.  This might seem pointless, but it's actually a good way to
level up your five basic tools to 400%.

 The second stamina exploit is to not go to bed.  As long as you're still
awake at the day-change at 5:59AM, you'll wake up at 6:00AM the next day,
no matter how much fatigue you have.  The only disadvantage to this tactic
is that you can't save your game when you stay up all night.

Watering Can "Exploit"

 This is not really an exploit, but it's not a bug, either.  A lot of
people seem to get mixed up about it, though, so it goes in here.  If you
use the watering can anywhere but on tilled earth, the water in the can
will not decrease.  This is why you can level up the watering can to 400%
using the first stamina exploit listed above.  The watering can does not
suddenly have infinite water.

TV Shopping Exploit

 You can still order items that are offered on festival Saturdays, due to
this exploit.  Simply watch TV Shopping, play through the next 7 days
without watching the TV, checking the Inn's phone, resetting, or loading
from a save, and use the phone then.  The game will not have cleared the
previous TV Shopping offer, and since it's Saturday, the phone will work.
You can also order the item for that day.  Just go back home after ordering
the first item, watch TV Shopping, then return and order the second one.
On Tuesday (or Wednesday, if Tuesday is a festival), go outside twice, and
Zack will give you both utensils!  Don't use this trick in Winter or
Summer; storms can kick up unexpectedly, and you won't be able to evade
them (let alone know that they're coming) if you do.

Double-Save Exploit

 This trick allows you to avoid storms.  Keep two saves on your memory
card for this game, and save alternately between them (i.e. save first in
diary 1, then save the next day in diary 2, then the next day in diary 1
again, etc.).  If a storm is coming tomorrow according to the news, then
load the previous day, and redo it.  This can prevent the storm from
hitting the farm.  Alternately, I invented a GameShark code that can
control the weather, if you have a GameShark and don't want to redo a day.
You can find the code in the next section of this guide.

Animal Trading Exploit

 For this to work, you need two different saves (not just two versions of
the same farm), and at least one must have farm animals.  Load the game
with the better farm animals, and then choose to exchange animals to your
other game.  Give all of the most valuable animals to the other farm, and
then read the better-farm-animal diary without saving.  You still have all
of the animals that you just traded to the other diary, and the other diary
also has them.  You can keep duplicating animals from the better file until
the other file's chicken coop and/or barn are full, then sell the
duplicated animals in the other file, and get a significant head start in
funds.  Note that this guide does not use this strategy.

Animal Trading Exploit, Take Two

 This exploit is just downright cheap, though it can save you a lot of time
getting animals to produce gold items.  Get a farm up to the day before a
festival for judging animals (Sumo Chicken, Cow, or Sheep), and save the
game so that you can load up the game on that day (when you get asked to
pick an animal to compete in the contest, in the case of the Cow and Sheep
festivals; you can save on Summer 7 for the Sumo Chicken Festival, since
you bring your own chicken to that).  Load up a game with a lot of animals
that have high heart levels, but few who have won a festival.  Harvest from
the animals for the day, then trade all the animals that can compete in the
upcoming festival on the other farm to the other farm, complete the day,
and save (Yes, save.  You'll understand why soon).  Go back to the other
save, and enter one of the other farm's animals into the contest.  Once it
wins, transfer it back to the other farm, and read the diary again to get
back to the day before the festival.  Enter a different one of the animals,
and let it win, then trade it back.  Keep doing this until the entire
barn/coop on the other save is full of gold-crown animals.  As an added
bonus, the farm you traded all those animals to so they could win the
contest are still on that farm, as well (albeit without gold crowns).


Rumors/False "Hints"					[GGRUMORS]
----=

 These are persistent lies about the game that refuse to die.  Not one of
them are true, and most are listed on Gamewinners as "hints".

RUMOR: You can get infinite water by filling the watering can in the Winter
Mine lake.
TRUTH: The watering can does not lose water unless you use it on tilled
soil, which many players fail to notice, hence the origin of this rumor.

RUMOR: There is a secret Yellow Dog Ball that guarantees your victory in
the dog races.
TRUTH: No, there is not.  There is only the pink dog ball.  There's only a
a graphic for the pink dog ball, for that matter.  I have no idea how this
rumor started.

RUMOR: If you leave your dog in the hothouse, it won't be destroyed by
storms.
TRUTH: It doesn't matter what you do, your hothouse will always be at risk
of being destroyed during storms.  This rumor predates even this game; it
started back when HM64 was new, and isn't true in that game, either.

RUMOR: You can find more ore near the ladders to the next floor in the
mines.
TRUTH: The odds of finding ores are the same everywhere that you can dig
them up.  The outer ring of the mine and a two-tile square around the
stairs out of the mine are the only spots where you will never find ores.
Besides those areas, the odds don't change.

RUMOR: You only have to plant over 100 of the Supermarket crops for a given
season to get the hidden crops.
TRUTH: Nope, you need over 100 of all seasonal crops.  That includes
Cabbage for spring, Pineapples for summer, and Green Peppers for fall, as
well as all of the seasonal supermarket crops.

RUMOR: Having lots of grass planted will allow you to keep your pony even
if you don't have it with 8 hearts.
TRUTH: If you get the pony from Barley during the first spring, you have to
get it up to at least 8 hearts to keep it.  It doesn't matter if you have
nothing but grass in the entire field, if that horse has less than 8 hearts
after a year, Barley takes it away.  He will come back with a new pony a
little while later if you have over 200 grass planted, but it's a different
pony entirely.

RUMOR: You can get things from people in return for insects.
TRUTH: Nobody ever gives you a return gift, certainly not for insects.

RUMOR: Whoever you talk to first during the cooking festival will win.
TRUTH: The winner is chosen randomly.  It doesn't matter who you talk to.
The winner is always either Doug or Ann, unless you win it.

RUMOR: You can raise Karen's affection to max by showing her your dog
repeatedly.
TRUTH: This worked in HM64.  It does not work in HM:BTN.  None of the
animals cause any affection changes when they're shown to people.  Ever.

RUMOR: You can make dialogues print completely in an instant by pressing O.
TRUTH: This works in HM:FoMT.  It does not work in HM:BTN.  How this rumor
even started, given how blatantly easy it is to prove wrong, is beyond me.
The dialogue will print faster if you press X or O, but it won't print
instantly.

RUMOR: Littering only counts for fishing garbage.
TRUTH: Any item you throw in the village area, ANY item, will count as
littering.

RUMOR: You can win the chicken contest just by urging your chicken on
constantly.
TRUTH: This works sometimes, but it really depends on luck.  If your
chicken is acting stupidly, then urging it on repeatedly could cause you to
lose.

RUMOR: You can brush, talk to, and milk/shear barn animals by hitting X and
Square at the same time.
TRUTH: No, not possible.  How do these sorts of rumors start?  They're so
easy to prove wrong...

RUMOR: You can build fences from rocks and have them be as effective as
wood fences.
TRUTH: Wild dogs run right through rocks.  Therefore, rocks do NOT make
effective fences compared to wood ones.

RUMOR: There's a Music Box that you can dig up inside the barn or chicken
coop before they're upgraded.
TRUTH: There is no Music Box item.  There's not even a graphic in the game
of a music box.  And to cinch it, there's no shovel tool, so how would you
dig in the chicken coop or barn anyway?  How do these rumors start?  And
more to the point, why do people believe them?

 Remember, all of these rumors are FALSE!  Each and every one has been
proven wrong, and most are entirely the opposite of the truth!  Please
don't ask about how to make them work, because they don't work.


GameShark Codes						[GGGSHARK]
----=

 Sometimes, games don't play fair.  Indeed, sometimes they downright cheat.
For those of you with a GameShark finding yourself in this situation, you
can cheat right back.  Below are all of the known GameShark codes for
Harvest Moon: Back to Nature.  Most of these came straight from GameShark's
official site (www.gameshark.com), though some are from www.cmgsccc.com.
Several others are extensions upon existing codes (such as the codes for
chickens 5-10).  The rest I made.  If a code has ?'s listed in the end of
the code, then there are special numerical values that can replace those
?'s.  For #'s, any value can be inputted.

(This code was found by me!  Amazingly, nobody ever thought to look for it
before...)

This one was also devised by sniperscope:

8012DB4B 0000 Near-instant bite during fishing (you still need to hold down
the Square button, but not for long; the longest it will take is 2 seconds)

 And finally, here's a few GameShark codes that I myself invented!  I've
noticed that a few of these popped up on CMGSCCC "mysteriously" not too
long ago, despite the fact that I never submitted them...  Maybe I just
never noticed them before, but it still seems suspicious.

D005E874 ???? Joker Command

D005E87C ???? Joker Command

D01231F4 ???? Joker Command

 Yes, there are three Joker commands, all of them normal Jokers.  They all
work, too!  What the heck is a Joker command anyway, you ask?  When
enabled, Joker codes will cause the code right after them to only execute
when the conditions in the Joker Command variable are met, meaning that you
can make codes only work when you want them to (via button presses).  The
values to use for these codes are as follows:
0000 - Nothing
0001 - L2
0002 - R2
0004 - L1
0008 - R1
0010 - Triangle
0020 - O
0040 - X
0080 - Square
0100 - Select
0800 - Start
1000 - Up
2000 - Right
4000 - Down
8000 - Left

 To make a multi-button command, just add the digits together.  Note that
these values are in hexadecimal, so (for example) L1 + R1 + R2 would be
000E.  Also note that you should not use the last Joker command, as it
updates less often than the other two do.

80071AC2 #### Rucksack Slot 1 Modifier
80071AC8 #### Rucksack Slot 2 Modifier
80071ACE #### Rucksack Slot 3 Modifier
80071AD4 #### Rucksack Slot 4 Modifier
80071ADA #### Rucksack Slot 5 Modifier
80071AE0 #### Rucksack Slot 6 Modifier
80071AE6 #### Rucksack Slot 7 Modifier
80071AEC #### Rucksack Slot 8 Modifier

 These codes have a few different uses.  For food items, they are the
"tastiness" factor for the Cooking Festival on Spring 22.  For gifts, they
determine what's inside the gifts.  For everything else, their effects are
more or less unknown at this point (save that they seem to factor into how
tasty a dish made from those items is).

300712C0 00## Total items currently in the basket

800712F4 #### Total value of produce in the basket
800712F6 ####

Here's a somewhat advanced code.  Put all of these values into a single
GameShark code:

D007AD02 0003 Never have hurricanes or blizzards hit the farm.  This will
8007AD02 0000 not affect the weather of the first day you play after
D007AD02 0004 activating this code, only from the next day onwards 'til you
8007AD02 0000 turn the PS1 and/or GameShark off.

Here's another somewhat advanced code.  As with above, put them into a
single GameShark code:

C105E874 0050  Instantly win swimming festival (press X and triangle at the
800BFE64 0FA0  same time).  Do not use this code at any time other than the
800BFE66 0000  swimming festival, as the effects outside of it are unknown,
               but potentially harmful.

And another somewhat advanced code.  Again, put them all in one code.

D005E874 0050 Instantly win the current round of the Sumo Chicken Festival
800BF528 FC58 (press X and triangle at the same time).  Don't activate this
              code at any time other than the Sumo Chicken Festival.

Another advanced one.  This is a bugfix code, so if your horse isn't stuck
in the stable wall, you don't need it.  As usual, all in one code.

D005E874 0060  Set the horse in the middle of his stable.  Only use this
80075B0C 00F3  code inside the stable itself, while the horse is in the
D005E874 0060  stable with you.  Excellent for the rare occurence of the
80075B0E 0000  horse getting trapped in the stable walls.
D005E874 0060
80075B10 0000
D005E874 0060
80075B12 0000
D005E874 0060
80075B14 FF7C
D005E874 0060
80075B16 FFFF

And here's a really advanced code.  As above, put them all in one code.

D005E874 0014  Freeze time at 6:00AM when you press L1 and triangle.  The
3007937E 00FF  effects will last until you press R1 and triangle, at which
D007937E 00FF  point time will start flowing again from 6:00AM.  This code
80070CF8 0006  can be used to completely reset the day's time elapsed, but
D007937E 00FF  it cannot be used to undo events that have already been
80070CFA 0000  done for the day.  People who have gone places since you
D007937E 00FF  started the code won't redo their daily activities, so this
80070D02 0168  code is best used at the start of any given day.  Be sure to
D005E874 0018  deactivate this code when you're done with it!
3007937E 0032

And another super-advanced code.  Same as the previous codes.

D005E874 0110  Press Select and triangle to situate yourself on the shores
80071B00 D494  of the Winter Mine island.  Press Start and triangle to
D005E874 0110  place yourself on the mainland shores.  Do not use these
80071B02 FFFF  codes anywhere but the area of Mother Hill that contains the
D005E874 0110  Winter Mine!  If you do, you will almost definitely be
80071B04 F9E7  melded into the scenery with either button combo, and there
D005E874 0110  will be no way to free yourself!
80071B06 FFFF
D005E874 0110
80071B08 22A9
D005E874 0110
80071B0A FFFF
D005E874 0810
80071B00 D188
D005E874 0810
80071B02 FFFF
D005E874 0810
80071B04 F960
D005E874 0810
80071B06 FFFF
D005E874 0810
80071B08 1A72
D005E874 0810
80071B0A FFFF

NOTE: For PAL users, using a hexadecimal calculator, you can make these
codes work for your version!  Just punch in the code into a hex calculator
(30071A14, for example) and add 4694 to it.  The result: a code that works
with the PAL version (300760A8, for the above code)!  This does not work
for the Joker codes, though.  The European Jokers are D0063004 and D006300C
(joker #3 not included because it's so unreliable as it is), and use the
same digits as the US versions' do.  Also, any of the "ineffective" codes
(dead animal count, farm percentage, etc.) won't work right when converted.
It really doesn't matter, seeing as they do nothing anyway.

IV. Gameplay Mechanics
====-

 These are the governing mechanics of the game.  Everything from how the
game calculates how long you can work to how the villagers react to gifts
is covered here in as full detail as possible.

Misc. Mechanics						[GMMISC]
----=

 These are mechanics that don't fit anywhere else.

 When you throw items on the ground in any of the village areas (the
outside of the poultry farm, Yodel Ranch, and Gotz' house, as well as the
hot springs, your farm and farm buildings, the beach, and Mother Hill are
exempt from this), your litter count goes up by 1 per item tossed, and
everybody in the village loses 1 affection for you.  This count makes it
more difficult to fish, and (in theory, at least) increases the likelihood
of a storm during Summer and Winter.  Litter count can be returned to 0 by
going to the church around 3:00PM and admitting to it at the confessionals.
Throwing items in the trash bin has no effect, but it gets rid of them
without adding to your litter count.

 The five basic tools gain 150 experience per use when being used
correctly, and 40 experience per use when not being used correctly.  Tools
gain a "level" (ie. can be upgraded one level higher) at 6000, 18000,
36000, and 65535 experience.  65535 is the maximum experience you can have
with any tool.  Filling the watering can does not increase experience for
that tool.  The level of power used for a tool does not affect how much
experience you get, so if you're trying to level up a tool, using weak
blows will level them up faster.

 When trying to use a tool, if you continue to hold down the button for 3
seconds after you've hit the most powerful level that a tool is capable of,
your character will cancel out of the attempted tool use by panting, and
no stamina will be used.

 The game ranks your overall season progress according to how much you earn
and how much you spend.  This is a breakdown of how it works.  Note that
you must have earned or spent at least 1G during a season to get the
"Try harder!" rank.  As well, these ranks serve absolutely no purpose
whatsoever.  Feel free to ignore them completely.

Earned		Spent		Rank
0G		0G		Nothing
0G to 1999G	0G to 1999G	Try harder!
2000G to 4999G	0G to 1999G	Keep working
5000G+		0G to 1999G	Hard worker
0G to 1999G	2000G to 4999G	Play too much!?
0G to 1999G	5000G+		Idler!
2000G to 4999G	2000G to 4999G	You should save
5000G+		2000G to 4999G	Satisfactory
2000G to 4999G	5000G+		Spend too much!
5000G+		5000G+		Go getter


Time Flow						[GMTIME]
----=

 Time flow is simple in Harvest Moon.  10 "units" of time make up each 10-
minute period of game time.  A unit of time is approximately half a second,
meaning that each day can last up to about 12 minutes if spent entirely
outdoors.  Time stops flowing entirely while indoors.


Your Stamina						[GMSTAMINA]
----=

 Your character starts out with 100 stamina.  Each tool takes 1 stamina to
use for their basic function, and an additional point of stamina per
upgraded tool function (so a Mystrile tool takes 5 stamina to use the full
potential of).  The Brush, Milker, Clippers, C.M. Potion, S.M. Potion,
Animal Medicine, Blue Feather, and Bell tools take no stamina to use.
Similarly, picking objects up and throwing them requires no stamina.
Stamina is increased by eating Power Berries, which give 10 maximum stamina
each, and completely refill current stamina when eaten.  When your stamina
is one point over 50% gone, your character will wipe his brow.  At one
point over 30% stamina, your character will hulk his shoulders and look
tired.  At one point over 10%, he'll sit down sweating.  At 0 stamina, your
character will pass out briefly, and all further tool use will begin to add
up in a separate variable as you continue to use tools (tools that don't
normally take stamina will tax this new variable).  This value will be
referred to as fatigue.  For more information on fatigue, see the next
section.

 Stamina can be restored by eating crops and farm goods, or using the hot
springs.  See the Items section for information on how much stamina each
good restores.  The hot springs restore 2 stamina per time unit, and begin
working the moment your character touches the water.  Note that fatigue
reduces at a rate of 1 per time unit in the hot springs, at the same time
as stamina is being restored.  Finally, you regain 127 stamina (and 30
fatigue) when going to bed before 6PM; this goes down by 7 stamina and 3
fatigue per hour past this, though.


Your Fatigue						[GGFATIGUE]
----=

 Fatigue raises according to a few factors.  Under normal conditions,
fatigue won't rise until you have 0 stamina.  Once you are out of stamina,
it normally drains by 2 fatigue per tool use.  On non-rainy days, from 10PM
to midnight, fatigue will rise by 1 point per tool use if you still have
stamina left, and by 3 if you have no stamina left.  After midnight,
fatigue drains by 2 per use with stamina left, and 4 per use without.  On
rainy days, all situations add 1 more fatigue (including before 10PM and
with stamina left).

 The Mystic Berry changes this, however.  If you have it, then the rainy
day fatigue boost effect does not take place.  Furthermore, you only lose 1
fatigue per tool use once you're out of stamina, all the way up to 12AM.
At that point, you will gain 1 fatigue per tool use with stamina left, and
2 fatigue without stamina left.  The only difference between normal and
rainy days concerning fatigue, once you have the Mystic Berry, is that the
fatigue drain if you have stamina left will begin at 10PM instead of 12AM.

 At 12AM, 2AM, and 4AM, your fatigue goes up by 3 automatically.  If your
character is napping (ie. lying on the ground, or in the hot springs
asleep), this will not take place.  At 6AM, if you still have not gone to
bed, your fatigue will go up by 20, but this cannot send you to the
hospital; breakfast still restores 1 fatigue, which will leave you, at
worst, with 99 fatigue built up.  If an event must take place for the day,
and you build up fatigue before the event takes place, then fatigue will
cap at 99 until you exit your house for the first time that day.

 Fatigue is directly tied to sickness, and the four levels of sickness
(from 0 to 3).  If fatigue is below 50, your sickness level is 0.  Once
fatigue reaches 50, your character will shake his head (sickness level 1).
At 70, sickness level will hit 2. At 80, he'll fall over and get up
awkwardly, and at 100 he'll pass out completely (sickness level 3).  The
sickness levels determine how late you start your next farm day.  At
sickness level 0, you start out the day at 6:00AM.  At level 1, your
character will start the day at 8:00AM.  At level 2, 12:00PM, and at level
3, he'll miss the rest of the day entirely and start the day after that one
at 12:00PM with 75 fatigue.  By starting a fire in the fireplace, you
reduce your fatigue by 5.  Unfortunately, this only works once per day, and
you can't light a fire in the fireplace any time other than Winter.
Stamina and fatigue both are restored according to how many hours of sleep
your character gets (127 stamina maximum and 30 fatigue maximum per night,
decreasing by 7 stamina and 3 fatigue every hour past 6:00PM).  If you
don't go to bed, you get no stamina restoration or fatigue reduction at
all.  Your automatic morning meal reduces fatigue by 1.

 If you pass out, you will automatically be carted off to the hospital,
and lose the rest of the day.  You'll also lose 10G (unless you have no
money), and be returned home at 12:00PM the next day with 75 fatigue (which
of course gets reduced to 74 by the morning meal), and your stamina
completely refilled.

 Fatigue rises by the same amount no matter what tool action you take, even
if it's a powered-up tool.  This means that using a tool's most powerful
level is only as fatigue-building as using a tool's basic level.

 Fatigue can be removed via Turbojolt and Turbojolt XL, or slowly removed
via food items (see the Items sections for exact values).  The hot springs
reduce fatigue by 1 per game minute, along with restoring 2 stamina per
game minute.

 Here is a breakdown of how fatigue will rise:

Normal weather, no Mystic Berry, before 10PM:
* If you have stamina left, fatigue does not rise
* If stamina is 0, fatigue rises by 2 per tool use
10PM to 12AM:
* If you have stamina left, fatigue rises by 1 per tool use
* If stamina is 0, fatigue rises by 3 per tool use
12AM to 6AM:
* If you have stamina left, fatigue rises by 2 per tool use
* If stamina is 0, fatigue rises by 4 per tool use

Rainy weather, no Mystic Berry, before 10PM:
* If you have stamina left, fatigue rises by 1 per tool use
* If stamina is 0, fatigue rises by 3 per tool use
10PM to 12AM:
* If you have stamina left, fatigue rises by 2 per tool use
* If stamina is 0, fatigue rises by 4 per tool use
12AM to 6AM:
* If you have stamina left, fatigue rises by 3 per tool use
* If stamina is 0, fatigue rises by 5 per tool use

Normal weather, have Mystic Berry, before 10PM:
* If you have stamina left, fatigue does not rise
* If stamina is 0, fatigue rises by 1 per tool use
10PM to 12AM:
* If you have stamina left, fatigue does not rise
* If stamina is 0, fatigue rises by 1 per tool use
12AM to 6AM:
* If you have stamina left, fatigue rises by 1 per tool use
* If stamina is 0, fatigue rises by 2 per tool use

Rainy weather, have Mystic Berry, before 10PM:
* If you have stamina left, fatigue does not rise
* If stamina is 0, fatigue rises by 1 per tool use
10PM to 12AM:
* If you have stamina left, fatigue rises by 1 per tool use
* If stamina is 0, fatigue rises by 2 per tool use
12AM to 6AM:
* If you have stamina left, fatigue rises by 1 per tool use
* If stamina is 0, fatigue rises by 2 per tool use


Villagers' Affection					[GMAFFECT]
----=

 All villagers follow the same calculations for affection, except for the
girls.  All girls have max affection for you of 65,535; everybody else has
up to 255.  The effects of your first gift to the girls on any given day
are as follows:

Normal:
-800 for a hated item (-800 if wrapped)
-500 for a disliked item (-500 if wrapped)
100 for a neutral item (100 if wrapped)
300 for a liked item (300 if wrapped)
500 for a loved item (500 if wrapped)
1000 for perfume (can't wrap)

Birthday:
-800 for a hated item (-4000 if wrapped)
-500 for a disliked item (-2500 if wrapped)
100 for a neutral item (500 if wrapped)
300 for a liked item (1500 if wrapped)
500 for a loved item (2500 if wrapped)
1000 for perfume (can't wrap)

 And for every gift after that (excepting jewelry, which still follows
the first gift rule):

Normal:
-800 for a hated item (-800 if wrapped)
-500 for a disliked item (-500 if wrapped)
0 for a neutral item (0 if wrapped)
100 for a liked item (100 if wrapped)
300 for a loved item (500 if wrapped)
1000 for Perfume (can't wrap)

Birthday:
-800 for a hated item (-4000 if wrapped)
-500 for a disliked item (-2500 if wrapped)
0 for a neutral item (0 if wrapped)
100 for a liked item (500 if wrapped)
300 for a loved item (1500 if wrapped)
1000 for Perfume (can't wrap)

  Girls will gain 200 affection overnight on any day that you interact with
them, even if you just talk to them that day.  Girls' heart levels go up at
5000, 20000, 30000, 40000, 50000, and 60000.

 For the villagers, the first gift you give them for a day will have the
following effect:

Normal:

-9 for a hated item (-7 if wrapped)
-3 for a disliked item (-1 if wrapped)
1 for a neutral item (3 if wrapped)
3 for a liked item (5 if wrapped)
9 for a loved item (11 if wrapped)
3 for jewelry (5 if wrapped)

Birthday:
-45 for a hated item (-43 if wrapped)
-15 for a disliked item (-13 if wrapped)
5 for a neutral item (7 if wrapped)
15 for a liked item (17 if wrapped)
45 for a loved item (47 if wrapped)

 All gifts after the first one of the day will have this effect:

Normal:

-9 for a hated item (-10 if wrapped)
-3 for a disliked item (-4 if wrapped)
0 for a neutral item (-1 if wrapped)
1 for a liked item (0 if wrapped)
3 for a loved item (2 if wrapped)
1 for jewelry (0 if wrapped)

Birthday:

-45 for a hated item (-50 if wrapped)
-15 for a disliked item (-20 if wrapped)
0 for a neutral item (-5 if wrapped)
5 for a liked item (0 if wrapped)
15 for a loved item (40 if wrapped)
5 for jewelry (0 if wrapped)

 Simply interacting with the villagers at least once per day (even if you
just talk to them) will cause their affection to go up by 1 overnight.

 Harvest Sprites' heart levels go up every 25 points.  Their affection goes
down by 2 points every day they work.  Harvest Sprites gain 1 point of
skill at any job that you have them do per day that they do it (all sprites
start out with 0 skill at all jobs), and can gain up to a maximum of 255
skill points per job.

 All girls start out with 0 affection, and all villagers start out with 50.
Every time you go to bed, a few random villagers will have 1 affection
subtracted from their affection counter (if a girl experiences an affection
drop overnight, it will be by 200); however, this will not occur if you
talk to everybody in town.

 If an animal on your farm dies, everybody gets a drop of 20 to their
affection for you (and the girls get a drop of 1000).  This is, needless to
say, a very bad thing.


Marriage and its Effects				[GMMARRIED]
----=

 If a girl has at least 60,000 affection, you have the second house
extension, and you have the Blue Feather tool, you can get married.  Simply
go to a girl with the appropriate amount of affection, and use the Blue
Feather on her.  Your wedding date will be set to one week from the date
you use the feather (or two weeks, if there's a holiday that day).  On your
wedding day, you won't be able to perform any farm chores.

 Giving your wife items and talking to her has the same effect as normal.
If your wife's affection ever drops below 5000, she'll return to her home.
To get her to come back to the farm, you must visit her and essentially
apologize for being such a jerk (at which point her affection for you will
be upped by 30000; the girls in this game are very forgiving).

 32 days after marriage, your wife will get pregnant.  When this happens,
she will give birth 58 days (roughly two seasons) later.  You'll need to go
to the clinic once she starts complaining about not feeling well, at which
point the pregnancy will be official.  If you fail to go to the clinic
within 8 days of your wife complaining (or fail to talk to her on the 7th
day of her complaining), she will end up being very sick instead, and lose
some affection with you.  You won't be able to work on the day of birth.
This will get you a baby that you can name.  The baby starts with around 50
affection, and cannot be given items until 60 days after his birth.  As
with most things in this game, the date of confirmation or birth coincides
with a holiday, the date for this event will be pushed forward one day.


The Animals
----=

 These are the mechanics concerning the animals.  Surprisingly, most of the
data here is contrary to what the manual, and most guides, have to say
about them.  However, the data has been confirmed with an active-program
value editor (aka. RAM editor).  All animals have a maximum affection of
255, and only the first time you do something during any given day has any
effect on them.  Heart levels are gained every 25 affection points.  All
affection changes take place upon choosing either Sleep without making
diary entry or Make diary entry and then sleep from the diary menu (or by
having the day roll over by staying outside until 6:00AM), save for actions
which reduce affection.  Performing any action on any animal more than once
does not result in any changes, save attacking them.

Dog							[GMDOG]
=-=-=

 The dog starts out with 10 affection.  By picking it up and putting it
down, he will gain 2 affection.  Whistling for him at least once a day (as
long as he responds) will also result in a boost of 2. Ignoring him
completely causes his affection to drop by 1 per day.  Leaving him out in
any bad weather (snow, rain, hurricane, or blizzard) overnight will cause
his affection to drop by 5.  Leaving him outside has no effects otherwise.

 Once your dog is an adult, you can throw a dog ball for him.  If you do
this once per day, he barks, chases it, brings it back to you, and barks
again, his intelligence will go up by 3.  His intelligence starts at 0, and
cannot not drop no matter what.  The higher his intelligence is, the better
your dog will do in the Dog Race on Winter 10.  Raising your dog's
intelligence does not raise his affection, but it will prevent your dog
from losing affection because of neglect.  Attacking him reduces his
affection by 10, and each further attack reduces his affection by 10.

Minimum Time for 10 Hearts: 60 Days
Minimum Time for Max Intelligence: 85 Days

Horse							[GMHORSE]
=-=-=

 The horse starts out with 10 affection.  Talking to him has no effect.
Whistling for him (as long as he responds) also causes a boost of 2.
Brushing him causes an affection boost of 2.  Not brushing him or whistling
to him on any given day will cause an affection drop of 1.  Leaving him out
in bad weather overnight causes an affection drop of 5.  As with the dog,
leaving him outside has no effects otherwise.

 Once your horse is an adult, you can ride him.  If you at least jump onto
your horse once per day, his stamina will go up by 3.  His stamina starts
at 0, and cannot drop no matter what.  The higher his stamina is, the
further ahead your horse can push himself in the local Horse Race on Spring
18.  Riding your horse does not raise his affection, but it will prevent
your horse from losing affection because of neglect.  Attacking him twice
reduces his affection by 1, and each further attack reduces its affection
by 1 (with an upper limit of 5).  These attacking effects also apply for
when the wild dog barks at him.

Minimum Time for 10 Hearts: 60 Days
Minimum Time for Max Stamina: 85 Days

Chickens						[GMCHICKEN]
=-=-=

 Chickens start out with 10 affection.  Feeding them every day will make
their affection will go up by 10.  Forgetting to feed them causes an
affection drop of 20.  Leaving them out in bad weather overnight causes
their affection to drop by 120.  Leaving them outside otherwise has no
effect.  Any chicken who is not fed will not produce eggs for the next two
days, even if you feed them.  Attacking them causes their affection to drop
by 10, and all further attacks reduce their affection by 10.  These 
attacking effects also apply for when the wild dog barks at them.

Minimum Time for 10 Hearts: 24 Days
Maximum Potential Profit per Animal per Season: 1500G (9000G w/Maker)

Cows							[GMCOW]
=-=-=

 Cows start out with 10 affection.  Feeding them every day will make their
affection go up by 1 (affection goes up by 2 if they eat grass outside).
Talking to them will make their affection go up by 3.  Forgetting to feed
them causes an affection drop of 10 (9 if they're left outside and there's
no mature grass for them to eat).  Brushing and milking them has no effect
whatsoever.  Leaving them out in bad weather overnight causes their
affection to drop by 120.  Leaving them outside otherwise has no effect.
Any cow who is not fed will not produce milk for two days, even if you feed
them.  Impregnating a cow will not change how the cow's affection raises or
drops.  Attacking them causes their affection to drop by 10, and all
further attacks reduce their affection by 10.  These attacking effects also
apply for when the wild dog barks at them.

Minimum Time for 10 Hearts: 60 Days*
Maximum Potential Profit per Animal per Season: 9000G (18000G w/Maker)

Sheep							[GMSHEEP]
=-=-=

 Sheep start out with 10 affection.  Feeding them every day will make their
affection go up by 1 (affection goes up by 2 if they eat grass outside).
Talking to them will make their affection go up by 3.  Forgetting to feed
them causes an affection drop of 10 (9 if they're left outside and there's
no mature grass for them to eat).  Brushing and clipping them has no effect
whatsoever.  Leaving them out in bad weather overnight causes their
affection to drop by 120.  Leaving them outside otherwise has no effect.
Any sheep who is not fed will have their wool growth halted for two days,
even if you feed them.  Impregnating a sheep will not change how the
sheep's affection raises or drops.  Attacking them causes their affection
to drop by 1, and all further attacks reduce their affection by 1.  These
attacking effects also apply for when the wild dog barks at them.

Minimum Time for 10 Hearts: 60 Days*
Maximum Potential Profit per Animal per Season: 2000G (4000G w/Maker)


* - Cows and sheep can potentially get 10 hearts in as little as 48 days,
but this would require constant sunny weather and a very large pasture
available to feed them with.  The boost in affection growth is not worth
the loss of time that this option entails.

Items							[GMITEMS]
----=

 This is a full list of every item in the game, and the various attributes
for each one.  Eatable items have stamina and fatigue values listed.  For
fatigue, the value listed is how much fatigue is reduced; a negative value
means that the item adds to fatigue (which is bad, of course).

* - The stamina restorative properties of food are entirely determined by
what ingredients are used.  Food does in fact restore stamina if you
yourself make it, but the amount varies depending on the ingredients you
use.  Fatigue reduction, however, is constant.  The baked items given to
you by villagers (during events or Winter Thanksgiving) have no stamina
restorative properties.

V. Conclusion
====-

Special Thanks To					[CTHANKSTO]
----=

 Unsurprisingly, I didn't write this guide entirely on my own.  This is a
list of everybody I'd like to thank for their support in making this guide
what it is today.

* SoSweettoo - A user on the GameFAQs message boards who got me started on
my information-seeking quest.  Thanks to ye!  She's also co-responsible for
finding the GameShark code conversion value for European gamers.

* The GameFAQs HM:BTN message board regulars - eviltogepi, andyman, Pooh
Da Stryker, Spunkypunky, DetroitDJ...  You know who you all are.  The
support you guys (and gals) provided (as well as the information early on)
really helped me out.

* loto610 - The original discoverer of the stamina exploit that allows for
mastering all tools within the first two days of the game.

* Koalyak - Devised the ingenious figure-eight hothouse planting formation
that's listed in the Strategies section.

* IAmVincent, Lagniappe, Megarpggal2002, and Glazius - Helped me locate
some of the more obscure events in the game

* Blood Angel Dante - Came up with the idea for a no-field play-through,
which in turn caused me to think up all of the other challenges.  He also
spotted a minor (but significant) error in the master walkthrough.

* sniperscope - For devising several new GameShark codes.  Which ones they
are are listed in the GameShark codes section itself.

* JungleJim - Discovered more of the fatigue mechanics, and inspired the
Patchworks field formation in the strategies section.

* Chitraka Jubatus - Informed me of how Bodigizer XL and Turbojolt XL are
made available for sale at the clinic.

* znights - Brought to my attention the Spring 30th wedding bug.

* [email protected] - Informed me that it's possible to fish in
the lake during winter

* The CMGSCCC and Gameshark.com - For devising/posting the original HM:BTN
GameShark codes.  It would've taken a lot longer to find everything without
their codes as a starting point!

* The ArtMoney Team - For making ArtMoney, the RAM editing software that
allowed me to find so much information about the game.

* The ePSXe Team - For making ePSXe, which allowed me to track the data in
a much more efficient manner than I could have with my PS1.

* Victor Interactive and Natsume - They're the guys who made and published
the game, respectively.  Without their efforts, naturally, this guide would
not exist.


 And finally, a big not-thanks to Gamewinners for never confirming
anything, and thus spreading more blatantly false game rumors faster than
any other method humanly possible.


Afterword						[CAFTERWRD]
----=

 After many years of playing this game and never quite knowing just how
everything works, it was very satisfying to sit down and figure it all out.
I enjoyed the process of writing this guide, and I hope that somebody
finds it helpful.
