The latest and greatest update for has just dropped for console, which means plenty of players are starting up a new farm and eventually come across tools.
Unfortunately, starting a new save means dealing with the early days of no energy and plenty of early nights.
Fortunately, there’s a way to cut down on energy usage, and that’s by upgrading tools. Some decisions in s early game are obviously big ones, like choosing Rancher or Tiller for the Farming skill. Other decisions are more subtle but will significantly impact the first year of gameplay on the farm and in Pelican Town.
One of these decisions is what order you should have Clint upgrade your tools. Once you have ventured into the mines and collected enough copper to make five bars, the Watering Can is the first tool you should upgrade.
This is the one tool that you will likely be using every single day of the year until Winter, which means that it’s the tool that uses the most energy every day.
