I did a search on this, apologies if I missed it if someone else already posted something similar.

After 90 hours in my main game, I finished most of the achievements and decided to start a new play through to get the Joja Co. achievement. I pushed it as quickly and as efficiently as I could to see how fast I could get it with a new game.

It really did not take long at all, a little less than 6 hours. I know others could probably do it faster, as I did some things I should have skipped (Mines), but I thought others would be interested to see.

Some (likely obvious) tips: - You want to save 140,000g (5,000 initially, and 135,000 for the unlocks). - Planting/Watering/Expanding your farming plot is your first priority (at the end I had a 14x12 square, 167 squares with a scarecrow in the middle). - Sell EVERYTHING you don't need. - During downtime, harvest wood and complete the beach bridge asap (I know, duh), save enough wood/fiber to make a Scarecrow (buy 1 piece of coal from Clint if you didn't get one while gathering). - Whenever you have money, buy NOTHING but seeds. (Potato in Spring, Blueberries in Summer) and always be planting and expanding your farm. Even if you only have 200g, go spend it on seeds and plant immediately (just watch the date before the season switch so you don't lose crops). - If you have nothing to do, and no energy, go forage the beach/forest. Take your scythe! Clear out any grass patches to allow more forage to appear later. - If you have nothing to do, and ENERGY, go fish. - If you run out of energy mid-day and the Bath house (by the RR) is open, go relax, and finish the day fishing. - Loot any trash cans you pass and sell anything you find. - And a lesson I learned, skip the mine. By the time you get to the point where you can start thinking about sprinklers, you're already almost done. The time you're spending in the mine can be better spent farming, foraging, or fishing.

Good luck!
