The Almanac

The Almanac records item information from the following categories:  Artifacts,  Blacksmithing,  Bugs,  Cooked Dishes ,  Crops,  Fish,  Forageables,  Furniture,  Materials, and  Ranching. It shows each items icon, description, selling price, and whether or not it is able to be donated to the Museum. If the item can be donated, The Almanac will also show whether or not the item has already been donated.
Items must first be acquired before becoming visible in the Almanac. The Almanac lists the maximum number of items attainable for each category.

Tip: Some Players may find it useful to set a Use Tool (Repeated) key or button in the Controls menu. Doing so will allow you to press and hold the click, key, or button to use your  Tools. This will make certain actions such as using the Axe to chop down Wood and Trees easier and more efficient than having to click or press every time. Just keep in mind you may also need to rebind the Tool Use (Charged) key or button (default is ( left click+hold) on PC) in order to use any upgraded Tools when charged!
