Fall

Fall is when the work load lightens substantially and the money starts to pour in. You've still got some exploring in the mines to do, but much of the fishing is already done and the crops start becoming self sufficient, if you've done things right.

Primary Goals

Bundles

Fall Foraging Bundle

Fall Crops Bundle

Corn is also on here, but it should have been filled during summer

Quality Crops Bundle

Only needed if you missed one from Spring or Summer

River Fish Bundle

Night Fishing Bundle

Strategy

This month will be a lot less work and a lot more profitable, by the time your pumpkin harvest comes in you should have access to the green house, plus you should be able to use sprinklers now, so it'll be a lot less work every day. Your pig should start producing truffles soon so you should make a press to start generating oil

For crops you should already have the corn plants from last season, so I'd recommend the following additions:

All that will cost 5840g. Since your corn will still grow from the last season you will not need to replace those and the hops will be removed with grapes put in their place as they are again blockers, due to their trellis, so need to be kept out of the way. Yams and bok choy are not as big money makers so I don't plant as much of them, I leave a space in their rows in order to drop sprinklers as they become available. Wheat stays in its plot but by now you should be able to put down a sprinkler, so there are only 8 growing at a time. The Amaranth and fairy rose I put down around the beehouse, the Amarnath is required for Marnie but once harvested you can plant more flowers, or continue with Amaranth. If you have the sprinklers there is nothing wrong with putting down more pumpkins.

Yet again the foraging bundle will give you a pack of seeds. Plant them and harvest them as best you can fit in, they money will be helpful, but not as necessary as previous seasons.

Sometime in the first week you should have the money to upgrade your coop to a big coop (10000g, 400 wood,150 stone) and buy a duck (1200g). The duck will generate eggs, which are needed for the animal bundle and, eventually, drop duck feathers, which are needed for the dye bundle.

At your first opportunity after the big coop is purchased upgrade to the Deluxe Coop (20000g,500 wood,200 stone) and buy a rabbit (8000g). The rabbit will eventually produce wool and drop rabbits feet for the Enchanter bundle.

With the farmyard upgraded it is time to turn to the house. First up is the kitchen expansion (10000g, 450 wood), this will allow you to cook and ask Haley to marry you, you just need to be on the beach on a rainy day to buy the pendant (5000g).

Finish up what fishing needs to be done, there won't be much left over but take advantage of the weather as needed to fill in what there is. The sandfish will come whenever you get the vault finished and the bus service to the desert is in operation.

You likely won't be done exploring the mines yet, but you should have gotten deep enough to get all the items you need for the Boiler Room, which will give you access to the mine cart system. This will save a tremendous amount of time and should not be overlooked.

Fall is also a great time for collecting mushrooms, which are needed for several bundles. The secret forest has several kinds of mushroom that should be harvested and used.

Toward the end of the month your fruit trees should be producing, allowing you to finish off the fodder bundle, as well as anything that might still need a pomegranate.

Mid month will be a harvest festival which will allow you to win tokens that can be exchanged for stuff. Fishing usually yields enough iridium quality items for the win, just pad it out with a couple gold star items, or whatever iridium animal products you have on hand. The stardrop (2000 tokens) is always worth the purchase, increasing your energy permanently.

As the month goes on you will be building more money so you should be able to finish up the vault bundles and get access to the desert. The sandfish can be caught here, along with coconuts and cactus fruits if you're still missing anything for the exotic foraging

At the end of the month is a Halloween event, the prize in the box is a golden pumpkin, valuable, but not useful

No need to save money going into winter, there are no crops to plant, so maybe buy some fall seeds for the greenhouse.

Pro tip: Grapes generate at the same rate as preserve jars, so buying grapes and building an equal amount of preserve jars means a constant flow of jelly.
