HARVEST MOON tm

You Have 2 1/2 Years To
Turn Things Around

You bought the farm, so it's time to roll up your sleeves and try living off the fat of the land. Fresh air and the beauty of the outdoors will be fulfilling, but a successful farm needs a lot of working capital as well. There are buildings on your property, but they are in need of livestock. You have a modest house, but if things get lonely in the field, it's going to take an remodel to woo a female farming companion. Your challenge is to dig in and build your life as a farmer from the ground up. How you manage will determine the outcome, but remember, you always reap what you sow!

THE LIFE OF A FARMER

Away from the hustle and bustle of big city life, you can enjoy the fresh air and beautiful scenery while making your living from the fruits of the earth. All of this sounds great, but how does one get started?


(Establishing Yourself)

Town
Visit the town often to buy and sell Items. Be sure to talk to everyone you meet, as they may have useful information for you.

Farm
A Farmer needs to prepare the fields, grow grass and vegetables, and take care of the livestock.

Mountain
Mountains are a part of a Farmer's life. They provide fruits, fish, a hot spring and certain items.


(Earning Money)

In the Spring, sell your vegetables and the fruits from the mountains. In the Winter, you'll have milk and eggs to sell.

6
------------------------------------------------

(Expanding Your House and Farm)

Once you've earned enough money, you may choose to make your vegetable and grass fields larger, add a room to your home or to buy more livestock. Which path will your life take?

------------------------------------------------

YOUR FARM

Below is an overview of your land as it looks in the beginning. It is up to you to clear away the stumps and boulders. Prepare your fields and plant crops. This hard work is what a farmer's life is all about!?





[Map]






(A) HOUSE

Here, you check the weather, the amount of money you have, and the list of the farm's assets. Save your progress each night by writing in the journal. If you don't expand your house, you will not be able to get married and have a baby later on.

8
------------------------------------------------

(B) WOOD STORAGE

When you break up the stumps in the field for your planting areas, the wood will automatically end up here. Use the wood for building fences and expanding your house.

(C) COW BARN

The Cow Barn has enough feeding troughs for 12 cows. The red boxes are for the milk you collect, and the lower right area is where the pregnant cows stay until their babies are born.

(D) CHICKEN COOP

The Chicken Coop has enough space for 12 chickens. The red boxes are for the eggs you want to sell. Place an egg in the lower right corner if you want to hatch a baby chick.

(E) STORAGE SHED

Keep important items such as your tools and seeds in the Storage Shed. Amateur farmers can refer to the Notebook for helpful tips on using the tools.

(F) LOADING AREA

Place produce in the big box, and the buyer will pick them up every evening at 5:00 PM. Place animals you wish to sell in the pen, but only after talking to the livestock buyer in town.

(G) HORSE STABLE

At first, you won't have a horse for your stable. If you want a horse, go to the mountains in the first winter and you may find one on the path.

(H) SILO

When you harvest your grass crops, the grass will automatically go to the Silo for storage. Make sure you have enough grass stored for your livestock to last through the winter months.

9
------------------------------------------------

GROWING VEGETABLES

One way to start a successful farm is to grow vegetables. They grow in the Spring and Summer, and each season lasts for 30 days.


(3x3 9 Areas)

When sowing your seeds, you will find that each throw of the seeds will cover an area of three by three blocks. Keep this in mind when using the tools for preparing the soil for planting. If you throw seeds onto an block of soil that has not been prepared properly, nothing will grow there.

You can experiment with different patterns to see which works best for planting and watering.
If you can't reach a certain block, you will not be able to water the produce in that block and nothing will grow.


Watering Can/Sprinkler

You will be able to water the space immediately in front of you, one block at a time with the Watering Can.
Like the seeds, the Sprinkler can reach the area of three by three blocks.

10
------------------------------------------------

(Turnips)

The Turnips are easy to grow because it takes only five days from planting to harvesting. If you start the first crop in early Spring, you can plant and harvest up to five crops of Turnips.

(Potatoes)

Start planting your potatoes in the Spring. Potatoes take a little longer to grow than turnips, but because of this, you will be able to charge more for them. They are a hearty vegetable, and if you get busy and forget to harvest them, they won't rot.

(Tomatoes)
Tomatoes can be planted in the Summer. They take 10 days to grow after you first plant them. Once you've harvested a crop of tomatoes, keep watering, and three days later, you'll be able to harvest a second crop!

(Corn)

Corn is also a summer crop. Corn takes 13 days to grow - the longest of all your vegetables. Like the tomatoes, though, you'll be able to get a second harvest if you keep watering after the first one.

(Grass)

Plant grass in the Spring and Summer and store enough for the Winter. The first harvest will be ready in 10 days, and then a new crop will grow every 9 days without re-seeding or watering. When the grass fields are covered with snow in the Winter, they will grow again in the Spring.

11
------------------------------------------------

RAISING COWS AND CHICKENS

In the beginning, grow vegetables and sell them until you have enough money to buy your first cow and chicken. Not only are your animals a great monetary investment, but they also require a great personal investment of time and energy.


[] Animals Need Your Attention

To yield the most milk from your cow, you must brush her and talk to her every day.

If your chickens are in good spirits, each chicken will lay an egg for you every day.

Don't forget man's best friend! Although he doesn't lay eggs, it's still important to pet your dog.


Why Can't I Buy A Cow?

The Livestock Dealer knows a lot about his business, and he won't sell a cow to an ill-prepared Farmer. Grow plenty of grass to feed the new addition, and the Dealer will be happy to sell you one of his cows.

12
------------------------------------------------

[] Feeding

Providing enough food for your livestock all year round is a major responsibility. It is more economical to grow and store your own grass, but you can buy feed in town whenever necessary. Your dog, horse and baby chicks do not need to be fed, but never forget the others!

Place the grass in the chicken coop every day and your chickens will lay plenty of eggs.

Each cow requires one block of grass per day. Be sure to place food for a pregnant cow in her corner.

Let the cows go outside to the fertile grass fields to graze. Bring them inside when it rains, though, or they'll get sick.


[] Making Babies

You can buy livestock in the town, but it is expensive. Early on, sell vegetables and save enough to buy your first cow and chicken. After that, breed your own babies. A cow costs 5000G, but the Miracle Potion is only 4000G. A chicken costs 1000G, but hatching your own baby chick is free. A farmer's business isn't all about making a profit - you get a chance to witness the essence of nature!

After giving the Miracle Potion to the cow, put her in the corner until the baby calf comes. A cared-for calf will produce more milk.

Put an egg in the corner and three days later, a baby chick will hatch. In one week, it will be ready to lay eggs.

13

[Map]





Gathering Seasonal Produce

The seasonal fruits and vegetables can be found in the mountains and are an especially valuable natural resource in the beginning when money is tight. Although they can be eaten, it is better to sell the fruits at the Public Market. The Wild Grapes can be found in the Spring. In the Summer, look for the Tropical Fruits. In the Fall, Mushrooms are in abundance, and in the Winter, look for Herbs in the Cave.

15
------------------------------------------------

17
------------------------------------------------

CONDITIONS OF FARMER

At the beginning, your maximum capacity is set at 100 energy points. As you work, you will consume these energy points. Although a meter is not shown on the screen, you need to monitor how each hit of the Y Button affects your energy reserve. When you become weak and tired, there are ways to recover your strength. There is also a way to increase your maximum capacity from 100 energy points possibly to 200 points.


[] Getting A Fresh Start

Watch your Farmer's appearance and behavior because he will periodically let you know the level of energy consumption.

You will start your day at 100% of the capacity. Your Farmer looks fine.

After consuming a half of the capacity, he is sweating.

He will let out a big sigh after using 3/4 of the capacity.

With only a few energy points left, he will drop down to his knees.

When you spend all energy points in your capacity, he will collapse.


[] Work Consumes Energy Points

You can handle light work like weeding by using the A Button and save the energy points. However, you must use the Y Button when you get to the real work. When planting seeds, each press of the Y Button uses 1 point. Using the tools such as the Hammer and Sickle takes 2 points and later 3 points when they become the Super Tools. The Sprinkler also uses 3 points.

18
------------------------------------------------

Conserving Energy

When breaking up a stump or boulder in your field, keep hitting it with your tool until it breaks. Don't walk away too soon, as it will take more time and energy to do a little at a time.


[] How Do I Recover My Energy?

There are two ways to recover your strength. One way is to eat food, and the other is to bathe in the Hot Spring.


[] Precious Food

You will find many things in the mountain which are eatable and give you various energy points. The chart shows the energy points you will recover when you eat each item.

Wild Grapes 10
Tropical Fruits 10
Mushrooms 10
Berry of Fullmoon Plant 50
Cake 50
Fish 10


[] A Soothing Swim

The Hot Spring is a quick way to recover a lot of energy points. You can take a refreshing dip any time and in any weather. Each dip will recover 24 energy points. Both food and the Hot Spring can recover energy points only up to your maximum capacity you have at that time.


Can I Increase the Maximum Capacity?

Eating a Berry of Power Tree will increase the maximum capacity by 10 points. If you are lucky, you will find ten Berries during the course of the game. You will know how many Berries you have eaten by counting the number of blooming flowers in the back yard.
