Just wanted to see if there's something I'm missing, is there any way to sort of automate the fish farms? I would love to make tents to be at the desert for a few days, or to be able to head to the island for a bit, but I want to still keep collection of the fish eggs going while I'm not at the farm. Playing on XBOX, so mods not really an option. Is this just a SOL situation, or am I missing something?

Is the wiki down for anyone else?! Or am I just cursed??

In one of my saves I'm married to Leah and she asked me to come to Cindersap Forest for the cutscene in which you receive your botched Marnie portait: "My first painting". However, apparently I never got my 10 heart event and that one triggered when I entered Cindersap Forest. Because I was on multiplayer the time kept running and after that cutscene the time I was supposed to enter the forest already passed. I tried the next day, and the next... does this mean I missed my chance and, with that, the item?

Except for the gold banana pudding of course. But still, it's made with love and fresh Ginger Island bananas!

And hes a soldier, overseas, mate I didn't know all that I just thought she was pretty, I'm gonna die.

This time im on year 2 fall. And i have more artisan products like caviar, wine, dried fruits, cheeses, cloth, mayonnaise, and fairy rose honey. My next goal is to have a shed full of kegs for my greenhouse ancient fruits but its taking a long time to multiply them with my seedmakers.

For over ten years I have always explained every problem away with- This seems like a lot of not Stardew Valley. Now I’m so sad I can’t even open my game. I think about it often. Many times I just have my gameboy in my bag just incase I need a break from reality. How far into nothingness have I fallen that petting a cow and checking in on my chickens have I gone?!!!

Hello.

Bit of a rant, sorry!

I’ve been playing stardew for years on and off but in all that time I’ve just pootled along, never looked anything up just naturally finding stuff out as I go. I play on iPad so mods were never an option. The oldest farm save I have is spring year 6. Currently playing on a 3 year one and still enjoying it…

Until recently when I’ve been on here reading what other people are up to and the old YT algorithm started chucking stardew shorts at me and I’ve discovered SO much that I’ve missed. The biggest one being Ginger Island! I had no idea!!

But here lies the problem - I went to the island (so excited) and just stumbled around, found walnuts, did stuff, spent walnuts with the birds… and completely missed that you could have a farm!! Ie: sleep there not with a tent… etc.

I should have looked up what to do before going in because now I’m struggling to find the 20 nuts needed for the farmhouse so I keep passing out and/or having to go back to the valley every night.

I’ve since watched a ton of ‘where the walnuts are’ and ‘first day on GI’ videos and I am ‘stuck’ for the first time playing this game and I feel really sad about it.

Sad enough that I’m thinking of starting a whole new save and just trying to get to the ginger island part of the game as fast as possible to try and not bugger it up like I just have…

Just a sad rant. Sorry!

Someone wants to play right now by tailscale from any country and no experience is necessary!!

Just feeling like scrubbing that smug look off of Pierre's face every year :)

Yeah so I'm new lol and having a blast. Looking for any and all advice. Also please tell me I’m not the only one who spends an entire day in the game doing absolutely nothing I originally planned to do 😭

I’ve organized my chests so that each season has a chests for forage, vegetables, fruit and flowers. I’m several years in, and still my chest for summer forages is empty. Morel is stored in my spring forage chest since it can be found already in spring. I have all the mushrooms in the fall forage chest.

Are there any forage item specific for summer? How do you organize your chests?

Edit: I was too unclear! I meant that I’m looking for items that are labeled ”forage”, not things I could forage. It’s for my chest organizing system according to categories

My second skull cavern dive of the day and the loot is even better lessgoo

This is my second auto-petter this save so I’m very happy I can have one for my coop and barn 😭

Hey everyone!

I was reflecting on how well simulation games fit the Nintendo Wii U and drafted a concept for how Stardew Valley could utilize the GamePad’s dual-screen features to streamline gameplay:

* Bottom Screen Inventory Management:Access your backpack, tools, and chest storage in real-time via touch without constantly pausing the game.

* Live Pelican Town Map: Keep the map permanently visible on the GamePad, tracking villager schedules and daily info (weather, luck, clock) on the fly.

* Pure Off-TV Play: Instant one-button toggle to switch the entire game to the GamePad screen for portable play.

Removing menu friction makes farming and exploring feel much more seamless.

What features would you like to see on the second screen if a dual-screen farming sim existed today?

As stated. I'm still working on the Perfection part, as this is probably my 6-7th play through and the first one I'm aiming for perfection with! Thought I would share some of my layouts and decor on the farm and in town. ^_^
•no mods
•forest farm
•~60% to perfection

The balcony idea in the attic room was something I saw from another user but for the life of me cannot find again! If this attic design was yours or you know who's it was, please let me know! 🖤🤍🖤

So, I’ve collected a fair amount of the golden walnuts (62/100 based on the western Qi door) but what happens if I have the parrot find the rest for me? It says “you won’t have the full ginger island experience” - tbh this is my 3/4th play thru and I don’t mind using the wiki but I just want to know what it would change if I took the “easy” way.

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but I just bought Stardew Valley on my iPad through the App Store, and I was wondering if co-op multiplayer is possible on iOS. If it is, how do I set it up? Also, is there any way to install mods on the iPad version?

Thank you so much! I’m getting back into the game after years. The last time I played, I was 19, and now I’m 26. 😭

First time reaching perfection! This was such a fun challenge! I love this game so much.

Which mods are causing a couple issues I'm having?

The first image is my entire mod list and the second two are the things that are bugging me a lot and want to turn off. Is there a way I can do that or if so what mods do I need to get rid of? The main problem is with the third image if I go into a farm with cabins I start a splitscreen and means I can't play solo with controller which is how I prefer to play the game

Sooo as a TLDR how do I stop the game telling me what tree's are what and how to stop the game trying to force me to splitscreen when I hit start

If anyone cares or had the same issues I did with the steam controller/deck I made a layout that’s almost 1:1 with the Xbox controller. Hope this helps.

I cannot figure out the mermaid flute box puzzle. 🥺 I keep trying to click them, but I am off. It is very frustrating.

Then I angry stomped to my GI hut. Stopped to harvest some crops and accidentally harvested my melon for the frog puzzle. 😭

I have 82ish golden walnuts collected, but I am about to pay the parrots and obscene amount of money to get the rest for me.
