I was under the impression all of the rod unlocks were based on your fishing skill.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

When I unlocked fiberglass, it was immediately following a day where I leveled up. I actually think I unlocked the fiberglass rod in late spring 1, though it may have been summer 1 (very early on). I really enjoy the fishing minigame so I've actually probably been fishing a lot when I should be mining or farming, but c'est la vie. I'm not great at it, so I'm not one of those 6k/day fishers - I think my record is like 3k - but I really enjoy it anyway. It seems like even failure may get you a bit of experience as long as you're fishing?

Also, fish seem to bite faster once you get the fiber rod and attach bait to it. I don't feel like I'm sitting and just waiting nearly as long as I was in the beginning. Rainy days seem even better imo, though that may just be luck. Also once I saw some weird ripple section in the ocean that caused near instant bites, but about half of them were hard fish. I don't know if there's anything like that in the other areas.

If you need to level though, try the pond SW of the farm. There's only smallmouth bass there and they're very easy to catch.

Rainy days has been an HM feature before.

My 2c on fishing are that it's pretty fun but I can see why some people would hate it, particularly some of the fish which are really tricky to catch. Catfish, Tuna, Pufferfish, Squid. Lot of tricksy fish that jump around.

That said, I'm glad the dev made something fun and interactive for fishing instead of staring at a screen for 10 minutes and just waiting for the ! then you have a fish.

Finally made it down past level 40 of the mines. I noticed that starting from 40, the room layout of each level is the same as it was starting from level 1, just a different color palette. I also found a ton of iron ore and a Forest Sword down there. Squee.

Huh, I thought they were starting to look familiar. And a Forest Sword? Good on you, all I've found in the dropped weapons department is a surprisingly useful club and a surprisingly useless dagger.

On another note, I've been looking forward to this game for awhile. I'm pleased to say that the only real disappointment I've had is when I realized that non-hardwood fences deteriorate. Also the lack of really compelling waifus, but that may just be my pickiness.

What I dislike about fishing since HM is finding the right conditions to find a certain fish to unlock something before the game-end time limit. That's why I spoiled myself the final fishes for the bundles..I was wasting whole days fishing with the Iridium Rod and still wouldn't get what I need.
I think one of the Lost Books should at least mention the conditions for the bundle fishes..there's plenty of other secret/conditional/legendary fishes there, no need to force people to keep trying to find the ones for the unlocks.

And about tool unlocks, you guys are right, my bad. It must depend on skill, and I took a long while to get 5-6 since I focused more on the mining/combat part, that's why I only got it on winter.

The game changed for me now. With like 17 6x6 sprinkled fields, it means I'm planting 10 times more stuff I used to plant the last year.
I have goats now, and they already destroyed my grass..so I guess I'm gonna make my Coop/Silo/Barn enclosures into one and make a huge grass field because I'm missing precious tiles by keeping them separate. 
The wife is also cute/funny some times. For some reason, my whole house changed its flooring to a single weird one after she moved in..but I think this was already reported.

I also have a RL friend who was playing a pirated copy of the game. He's a great guy struggling with all sort of things so he couldn't buy the game..and HM was a huge part of his childhood like it was for me, so I just gifted the game to him and he was surprised. I invited him to talk via mic while playing and it would be great if the game had multiplayer, ha!
I hope I got at least 3 hearts from that action and the cutscene better be funny. No, wait..

That's why I married George. Evelyn just don't understand him.
As a male, you have so many great options when compared to the female options. You have a dancer/artistic/DIY, you have a gamer/dark/adventurer, a sculptor/artist/designer, a scientist/inventor/astronomer, and that's just 4 of them.

I'm suffering from lack of material for the 8 tile sprinkler. That one is not proving to be easy and I'm not up to recycling junk into it yet.

Who wants a Melon!?!?!?

Well, when you put it that- Hold the phone; Abigail's a gamer?

I'm not quite sure what I'm looking at, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be the one doing the eating. And probably singing as well.

Spoiler: Yup (click to show/hide)

Gamer, and occultist. The 2-heart scene requires playing through the first level of that minigame co-op with her. She also spends her Sundays hanging out with the Wizard, apparently. The more I learn about her, the more awesome she is.

When loading the game, on the second splash screen(for ConcernedApe), click on the face.

Just going to mention, it's not really 'as a male,' which I'm thankful for.  Kudos to the dev for letting us marry whoever we want.

At first I didn't like the bachelor choices, but they're growing on me, oddly enough. Except Mr-70s-mustache. I don't know what CA was thinking there.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

To be fair, at least, on Story of Seasons once you get the closet you can basically look male, which is what I did, but still. So appreciative that the dev gave gay options.

Though honestly, I like all the characters so far. I haven't been going all out to raise hearts super fast (just making sure to talk to most people once or twice a week), but they're cute anyway.

Except Sebastian. Damn it emo kid get out of your room _{and love me}!

[Neyvn]

Ugh... Playing Game within Game caused a crash...

[spümpkin]

You can date females as a female character, I know, I'm playing a female and I'm dating Penny. 9/10 hearts people, 9/10!

Edit: Reached 10 hearts, and soon afterwards she asked me to come to the bath house after dark. O_o
Weiiiiiiiiird...... We will see...

If you want to change it I resprited him without the moustache:

If you want it, just copy and past the file inside your Stardew Valley portraits folder, which should be Stardew Valley\Content\Portraits and make sure to back up the old one! I've been playing with it for the last couple days and I've had no issues in the few times I've talked to Harvey.

Oh my god what a difference a shave makes!  That brings him from dead last to "crap should I choose Harvey or Sebastian" territory.

Thanks so much, I didn't think to just mod his portrait like that. _{Not that I'm good at spriting anyway...}
