Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Stardew Valley is a Farm Life Sim for the PC, designed and programmed (in C#) with original pixel art and music by Eric "ConcernedApe" Barone, and originally published by Chucklefish Games. An acknowledged inspiration for the game is early Harvest Moon, and as a result it feels and plays a lot like it, though it also has some additional gameplay elements like a crafting system and co-op play. The combat elements also give it a hint of Rune Factory, which has both farming and combat as well.The story starts with the Player Character's grandfather dying. They've left them an envelope and advised they wait to open it until they are at their most depressed... Skipping to XX years later, sitting alone in your work cubicle at the Joja Corporation, you have indeed sunk into a deep depression, feeling as if your life has become meaningless routine. You open the envelope and discover that you've been left a plot of land and a run-down old farm in Pelican Town in Stardew Valley. There's also a vast network of caves nearby, where players can go spelunking and fighting monsters in search of loot and artifacts, similar to Harvest Moon DS.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })But even now you can't get away from the Joja Corporation, as the town has recently opened a new JojaMart, and it has already begun threatening local businesses, polluting the area, vying for more land, crushing spirits and probably performing satanic rituals too. You can side with the town and revitalise the economy, making friends and giving gifts, or you can side with Joja, focus on money, and redevelop the town at the price of other local businesses' success.The game started development in 2012, was officially Greenlit on Steam on May 16, 2013, and was fully released on February 26th, 2016.You can buy it for Windows/Mac/Linux on Steam or on GOG.com. Since its initial release, the game has gone Multi-Platform; the PlayStation 4 version of the game was released on December 13, 2016, in North America and December 14 in Europe, while the Xbox One version was released worldwide on December 14, 2016, and the Nintendo Switch port was released worldwide on October 5, 2017. Lastly, the Playstation Vita port was released worldwide on May 22, 2018. An iOS version of the game was released on mobile devices on October 24, 2018, followed by an Android version on March 13, 2019.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); }) | |

Rescue Romance | |
Stardew Valley / Videogame / int_149f7447 | comment |
Rescue Romance: Even given the Reality Ensues exceptions above, many of the romances have an element of this, particularly the ones where someone has a strained home life (where moving in with you alleviates the problem and gives them their own space) or feels unloved and neglected (in which case marrying you gives them the affection and security they craved). Penny, Sebastian, Alex, Shane and (to a lesser extent) Abigail all have shades of the rescue romance. | |

Relationship Upgrade | |
Stardew Valley / Videogame / int_161f1ebf | comment |
For almost all NPCs, regardless of their marriage-eligibility status. Bachelors and bachelorettes have eight "hearts" of affection that can be increased to ten if the player undergoes a Relationship Upgrade with them. Everyone who can't be romanced can reach ten hearts by default. The player's spouse has their maximum affection rating increased to twelve hearts. The only regularly-recurring NPCs who can't be made friends with are Morris (because he's the villain of the story) and the two men who work in the Adventurer's Guild. | |

Dummied Out | |
Stardew Valley / Videogame / int_1653843c | comment |
Dummied Out: A whole slew of weapons—some the Weapons of Choice of bachelor(ette)s—are in the game's code. The original character sprites from the beta are still in the game files. Haley's shows up during part of her 8 heart event, but the rest cannot be accessed without hacks or mods. A glitchy unused mountain summit area can be found north of the railroad if you use an out of bounds glitch. Early screenshots showed part the intended path there from the railroad. Once you get there, you're stuck, so be sure to bring along a warp totem or return scepter. There is, however, a mod that fixes the bugs and restores it as fully functional and accessible area in the game. Files exist for an item called the "Jukebox Ring"; the description indicates that it would play a random assortment of music from the game when you equipped it. Unused sprites for Linus show him as a young man in a suit. These could have been from a cut heart event flashback showing his old life and why he left it behind. | |

Artistic License – Biology | |
Stardew Valley / Videogame / int_18aff462 | comment |
Artistic License – Biology: Just like the farming sims it takes from, all your poultry livestock is female and lays eggs, which can be incubated to hatch into chicks with no rooster in sight. Can double as an accidental reference when the "all females, yet can reproduce" situation also applies to dinosaurs. Lightning hitting fruit trees on your farm temporarily turns them into coal trees. | |

Sorting Algorithm of Threatening Geography | |
Stardew Valley / Videogame / int_18ca6144 | comment |
Sorting Algorithm of Threatening Geography: The mine applies this, starting with generic caves for the first floor or so, leading into jungle, leading into ice caves, and ending with lava caves. The desert caves, bizarrely enough, are the hardest of all, but come in a completely different cave. | |

The only regularly-recurring NPCs who can't be made friends with are Morris (because he's the villain of the story) and the two men who work in the Adventurer's Guild. There also exist less nuanced relationship systems with the animals the player can adopt and raise; both livestock and pets (with five and four hearts to fill, respectively). The former determines how high-quality the goods they produce (such as eggs and milk) are, while the latter has no in-game benefit except for potentially boosting Grandpa's evaluation score if you care for your pet enough but is a great source of Video Game Caring Potential. | |

Stardew Valley / Videogame / int_1be7d298 | comment |
Easy-Mode Mockery: Buying the Joja Mart membership and changing the community center into a warehouse may make upgrading it more straightforward, but all you get after completing it is a Joja cola vending machine. One that's no different from the one at the Saloon. You also don't get the prizes for completing individual bundles, and the "friendship" bonus you'd get from completing the bulletin board is locked out. | |

Green-Eyed Monster: After the player is married, a spouse has a small chance to get jealous if you give a gift to another bachelor/ette, which lowers their affection rating for the player character—though the 1.1 update changed it so that your spouse will never get jealous if you give another villager a gift on their birthday. | |

Reality Ensues | |
Stardew Valley / Videogame / int_1d9a2764 | comment |
Reality Ensues: Any character with an addiction, long-term trauma, or mental health issues will not magically lose it because of The Power of Love or The Power of Friendship. Shane's room once married suggests that his struggle with alcoholism and depression is ongoing. Yes, he loves you, but unfortunately, that is not going to erase his years of dependency or the poor mental health that's contributed to it. The restoration of Pam's bus driving job sees her move into Functional Addict territory, but it won't stop her being at the bar every night (even when her job is as a driver!) or mend her relationship with Penny. You can buy Penny and Pam a new house, and later you get an event with Pam where she realizes that while she's grateful for the house, it hasn't actually made her any happier or made her quit drinking. Kent's PTSD is not going to go away. You can smooth over a serious misunderstanding with his wife, and you can befriend him, but he still wanders the town lost and out of place, and his relationship with his kids doesn't see much improvement. You can't fix Sebastian's estrangement from Maru and Demetrius (although his relationship with Robin will improve if he marries and moves out). He'll also struggle to kick his smoking habit, although he seems to be at least partially successful in this respect. The player only gets into the farming business because they inherited it - like how most farms generally get passed along family lines. A lot of people in Pelican Town are unemployed or self-employed. Much like how in a real life small town, not a lot of people in a town means there aren't enough jobs to go around. Linus claims he goes through garbage because he doesn't want food to go to waste, but Gus is more realistic about the situation, clarifying that he does it because he can't afford food. If you complete every bundle in the Community Center, the JojaMart will shut down, and Morris and his plans for the town are both done for, causing JojaMart to leave Pelican Town. Great, right? Not entirely, since it means that the townspeople who worked there are now out of a job. Shane is particularly unhappy about the situation, since it was the only job he could get. With JojaMart gone, Shane now can't support his family at all, making his depression even worse. | |

Fishing Minigame | |
Stardew Valley / Videogame / int_1e1d10ee | comment |
Fishing Minigame: After responding to the fish tug, the minigame is then pulled up. In a sense, the player has to play an endurance 2D version of Missile Lock-On with a tug-o-war style progression. While the lock is maintained, the player gradually gets closer to catching the fish while lessening the fish's escape progression. On the other hand, failing to maintain it will not only hurt the player's progression, but also increases the fish's escape progression. Random treasure may also be included and will only be gotten if both the treasure and fish are caught. There are two proper minigames of the sort during two of the festivals, but you don't get to keep the fish. | |

Automaton Horses: The horse you get if you build a stable might as well be a bicycle. Doesn't need feeding, grooming or resting, can turn on a dime, and can run at full speed indefinitely. Is also completely loyal and will remain in the same spot where you left it (in case you decide to take a brief trip to the desert over the day), but will trot back to the stable if you go home and go to bed without bringing it back. | |

Just Train Wrong: Railroad companies usually don't run passenger trains mixed in with freight trains. And if they did, they would try to group them together and not have passenger coaches placed randomly between freight cars like you see in the game. One of the sound effects for a train passing by the valley is a diesel air horn, but you only ever see steam trains. | |

Aborted Arc: Several of the bachelor and bachelorette storylines never get full resolution if you don't romance or marry them— Leah's relationship with her ex, Kel and Harvey's fear of flying are probably the standouts, but Sebastian's troubled relationship with his parents, Maru's robot-building efforts, and Shane's ongoing struggle with depression and alcoholism likewise never get total closure. | |

Lava is Boiling Kool-Aid: The lava lake on floor 100 of the mines kind of has this look to it. You can even fish in it! For all intents and purposes it seems to be mere water with red light reflecting off of it, as if it was literal lava it would disintegrate your fishing line, although that doesn't stop creatures called Lava Eels from residing in it. | |

Thriving Ghost Town: In the grand tradition of the genre. The whole of Stardew Valley - let alone Pelican Town - has about three dozen souls all told. It's a wonder JojaMart even bothered to set up shop here with such a tiny potential market to exploit.note As discussed on the Fridge subpage, there might only be a tiny consumer base, but there's millions of dollars in natural resources to exploit if they could just take control. | |

Ascended Glitch: Prior to patch 1.06, Abigail would appreciatively ask "how did you know I was hungry?" when given any item that she likes, including non-food items like quartz and other minerals. In the updated spouse dialogue in patch 1.06, Abigail was given a new line◊ where she asks you to bring her back something tasty if you're going in the mines. | |

Difficulty Levels | |
Stardew Valley / Videogame / int_29428ef | comment |
Difficulty Levels: Of a sort; multiplayer mode has a "Profit Margin" option that serves as a multiplier for gold earnings, which can be set to 100%, 75%, 50%, or 25%, to counterbalance the increased manpower. If you're feeling masochistic, you even can do a solo run on a multiplayer farm with the profit margin turned down. That said, reducing the profit margin also reduces the costs of seeds. | |

Parental Abandonment | |
Stardew Valley / Videogame / int_297ab1b9 | comment |
Parental Abandonment: Functional nuclear families are a surprising rarity in Pelican Town. Among the characters who still live at home with their families, the following have one or more absent parents: Sebastian's biological father is no longer a part of his life, and his fate is never mentioned by any character, not even Sebastian himself (who's too busy dwelling on how much his step-father Demetrius doesn't seem to like him). Alex is an orphan; his abusive father abandoned him and his mother, and then his mother died. He lives with his maternal grandparents. Penny's father left her and Pam to fend for themselves when she was a girl. Pam, meanwhile, is a drunk who doesn't seem to notice how much her drinking affects Penny's life. Haley and Emily's parents are world travelers, leaving their two daughters to look after the house in their absence. They never appear in the game, not even at their daughter's wedding should the player marry either of them. Sam and Vincent at first play this straight, because their father Kent is away serving in the military. However, he returns at the beginning of the second year, though he's clearly not the same man he was when he left. Jas' parents were friends of Shane's, but they both died tragically, leading him to take her in; she lives with him and her "Aunt" Marnie. Maru and Abigail are the only characters to avert this, as they live with their two parents from the outset of the game, unless and until you marry them. However, Abigail often clashes with her parents, especially Pierre. This would make Maru the only character who lives with both of her biological parents in a stable, happy relationship. Also, it is often hinted that Pierre is not Abigail's biological father, and is possibly the product of Caroline's dalliance with the Wizard. | |

Easter Egg | |
Stardew Valley / Videogame / int_29a39f6 | comment |
Easter Egg: The opening screen contains a few whimsical clickables, and the game itself contains obscure Easter Eggs that require very specific conditions to unlock. There are three interactive boxes that are partially hidden around Pelican Town that reward the player with unique statues if they are given certain items. Before the 1.1 update added a hint in the library, the only way to even know the existence of these Easter Eggs was through trial-and-error. It didn't help that there's a fourth box that doesn't interact with any (known) item. There is a furniture item that can only be gotten on the last day of a month, at exactly 12:00 PM, by interacting with a specific nondescript bush. The Strange Capsule and Owl Statue items can theoretically spawn in-game as a Random Event. However, the odds are so unlikely that the conditions for the items to spawn naturally are essentially zero. Inputting "ConcernedApe" or anything with "Stardew" in it will generate unique (albeit slightly bugged) Stardrop messages. | |

Trial-and-Error Gameplay | |
Stardew Valley / Videogame / int_29c50e28 | comment |
Trial-and-Error Gameplay: Figuring out when and where to catch certain fish - some tips are given in-game by a TV show, but they're not comprehensive or often repeated. Gift-giving. Each character has only a few "loved" gifts, which are often rare and/or expensive, and outside of a few specific hints from characters the only way to find out whether they love a specific gift is to use it up and give it to them. Add to this the fact that you can only give them a gift two times per game week and if you get it wrong you can even lose hearts with them, figuring out gifts without using a guide can get quite frustrating. Even the few "universal" loves tend to have exceptions (e.g. everyone loves Prismatic Shards except Haley, who hates them). The one exception to this is the Mermaid's Pearl, since everyone loves it, but you'll only ever get one, and the only thing in the game that tells you how to get it may never show up. This was somewhat mitigated in the 1.4 update, which doesn't make this process any less trial and error, but does add a tracking system so that you don't have to keep a spreadsheet of who likes or dislikes which items after you give them out. | |

Adam Smith Hates Your Guts: The traveling merchant can sell rare and exotic items, including some very hard-to-find crops, furniture and seeds. However, the prices vary wildly, and can be outrageously expensive compared to their value. The prices also start increasing the further along you get. While JojaMart claims to have low prices, everything there is always more expensive than the mom-and-pop store in town. This can be somewhat explained because of the 50% off coupons Morris hands out, however since you don't take the coupons you're not granted that discount. | |

Sickeningly Sweethearts | |
Stardew Valley / Videogame / int_2b68b7fa | comment |
Robin and Demetrius are Sickeningly Sweethearts who are thriving in their chosen fields. They have a sweet-natured prodigy daughter and a perfect life... if you ignore the isolated and depressed Emo Teen in the basement. Which is exactly what Demetrius does (unless when he scolds Sebastian for harmless fun such as his snow-goon). Sebastian mentions multiple times that Demetrius doesn't like him and that he feels like Maru is the preferred child of both Robin and Demetrius and despises her for that. Meanwhile, Maru wonders why her half-brother avoids her. ConcernedApe has also claimed to be considering making Robin a possible love interest, which would require the player to break up her marriage. | |

Awesome, but Impractical | |
Stardew Valley / Videogame / int_2bdae2ae | comment |
Awesome, but Impractical: Hops converted into Pale Ale has a similar profitability to Starfruit Wine with less upfront cost and is actually more profitable long-term in the Greenhouse than any other crop. However Hops use a trellis which limits crop placement and require far more micromanagement due to their daily harvest and short brewing times. Most players will instead stick with the simpler and less labor-intensive wine crops. Hatching a Dinosaur Egg in your coop to raise your own dinosaur is awesome but the dinosaur itself is underwhelming. It eats as much as the other coop animals but only produces one egg per week which generates a much smaller profit than a chicken's constant egg production. The ability to turn them into dinosaur mayonnaise added in patch 1.4 alleviates this somewhat, as it's the most valuable type of mayonnaise. You can use casks to upgrade cheese and Keg items to Iridium quality, doubling their value...but the process takes a long time, with cheese taking about a week and wine taking two months to reach that point. While it's a good long-term investment, if you need money now it's faster to just sell your wines once they're ready. | |

Game-Breaking Bug | |
Stardew Valley / Videogame / int_33ca811a | comment |
Game-Breaking Bug: The Playstation 4 Pro can be corrupted if it's put into sleep mode while running the game. Notable in that it's only the Pro - the vanilla and Slim versions don't suffer from this. Turns out this was Sony's fault and was addressed in a system update. In all versions of the game, there is a bug where if you buy an item from any shop with a full inventory, you cannot place the bought item in your inventory. You also can't empty anything from your inventory. There is no way to cancel or refund this transaction. Doing this leaves you with no way to get out of the shop menu except for closing the game, which means that you lose the current day's progress and have to start the day over again. In a strange, inexplicable bug that even the creator of the game is having difficulty finding the cause of, Pam can randomly disappear from the game. Not only does this mean that the player will not be able to befriend her, it also means that, if she disappears before the player restores the bus to the Calico Desert, they will be completely unable to go there. This prevents the player from ever being able to meet Sandy, get to the Casino, find desert-exclusive collectibles, and explore the Skull Cavern. | |

Boring, but Practical: Chickens and Cows, the first animals unlocked for Coops and Barns, also offer some of the best utility. Eggs are used in a number of dishes and mayonnaise is a good gift for most of the town. Milk can be converted into cheese, an efficient food for recovering health and energy without losing any food buffs. The most reliable way to get to the desert is to just pay 500 gold to take the bus. It only runs from 10 AM to 5 PM with return trips available any time, but the driver is there 111 days a year out of 112 and all the alternate methods of getting to the desert require rare resources, such as Iridium. | |

Crapsaccharine World: Pelican Town and its surroundings look bright and cheerful, the inhabitants are friendly and the music is peaceful and idyllic. Dig deeper though and you'll find that it's not all sunshine and lollipops: firstly, the country you're in is at war with another nation and when Kent returns in year 2 you find he seems to be suffering from PTSD; Penny lives with her alcoholic mom in a trailer; Shane also has a drinking problem due to being miserable working at a dead end job and attempted suicide; Alex lives with his grandparents because his parents died (and his father hated him); Linus lives in a crappy tent and has to rummage in trash cans to find food to get by; finally Sebastian in contrast hates his step-sister because he thinks (not wrongly) his step-father is giving her preferential treatment; and finally more than half the town doesn't have any kind of a job - and those who do like Shane or Pierre, you can run out of town. For those unaware it can be quite different from the casual farming game they expected. | |

Schizo Tech: The eponymous Stardew Valley has a very strange level of technology, featuring a couple of cars but no major roads, a modern gym and hot springs, internet access, and high-tech tools, but monster hunting is done with swords and slingshots, and nobody appears to have ever heard of a tractor. Sprinklers are advanced tech that has to be unlocked, everything else on your farm is done with hand tools, and your starting gear is roughly Stone Age. On the other hand, an Iridium Axe is undoubtedly better than a modern chainsaw for cutting down trees. | |

Broken Aesop: Get out of the rat race and go live a simple life in the country. Rediscover the things that matter, like love, friendship, and connections with nature. And make a million gold, because that's the biggest single part of your grandfather's evaluation. You can choose to sell out the Community Center and turn it into a Joja warehouse, putting more of a focus on getting rich with the bundle rewards becoming purchasable, or you can keep the Community Center and instead offer items to a bunch of nature spirits to restore the town in a more healthy manner. Oh, and you need to make and pay a fair amount of gold to the spirits as one of their objectives, so either way you've got to put some focus on profit. Big Predatory Business is bad, mmkay? Except that Joja gets results, and working with them is a faster, smoother and easier way to restore the town than trying to fix up an old community center that nobody in the town really cares about anymore. And if you work with Joja, you can get that million gold much quicker and spend the rest of your time exploring, making friends and getting married. Grandpa can still give you the highest evaluation if you do this. While he likes it if you do restore the community center, he ultimately cares more about results. The more you know Pierre, the more you realise he's almost exactly like Joja Mart. He even mentions creating new holidays to drive sales. | |

Endless Game: You can't get a Game Over in Stardew Valley. The worst that happens is running out of health or energy, as doing so costs you some money and some items. But even that can be recovered from with enough work. Theoretically, you can keep playing the game for decades (both in-universe and in real life), and it will never reach an end point. | |

Trying to use the out-of-bounds bug to reach the casino staircase results in the bouncer catching you, throwing you out, yelling "you little punk!" and hitting you with a Mega Bomb. He does the same thing if you try using a mod to warp into the Casino before you've unlocked it. | |

Black Comedy Burst: The game has a cheery and relaxed atmosphere where it's impossible to kill your animals (but if you don't feed them and pet them they won't produce food), but in the intro at the soul crushing Joja Corp. there's both one employee who appears to be chugging prescription pills and the skeleton of another employee lying in a cubicle. At the Stardew Valley Fair in the fall, the strength game's lowest possible score is "George's knee". | |

Adult Fear | |
Stardew Valley / Videogame / int_46118dc5 | comment |
Adult Fear: For a relatively cutesy-looking Harvest Moon/Rune Factory expy, Stardew Valley's inhabitants have some pretty mature issues to deal with: Your protagonist was trapped in the horror and isolation of the Joja Corporation's cubicle rat race, with no way out until their late-Grandfather's farm gave them an escape. Shane is trapped in a similar path as a shelf-monkey in the aisles of Joja-Mart, and he's falling apart from alcoholism to deal with his depression, causing both Marnie and Jas to worry a lot for him. He attempts suicide at one point. Jas, as an orphan, only has Shane and Marnie to be her family, and is sometimes neglected due to their worklife and personal issues. She has some serious worries about Shane's depression, and has witnessed his drunken ranting at least once, which has traumatized her. A subtle hint found in Jas's room indicates that she may have been abused by her grandfather - a possible reason why she now lives with Marnie. Several villagers are dealing with very mundane and real personal issues, from family tensions to worries about their future. Leah left the city for the country because she was escaping an abusive ex who didn't support her dream to be an artist. Lewis refuses to make his relationship with Marnie public because he says it would affect his authority as Mayor - even though there's nothing scandalous about it and they're both mature and single adults. Instead, he strings her along, keeping their affair a secret and depriving her of the companionship she really wants. Sebastian has literally become a basement dweller just to stay away from his family. Demetrius seems to dislike him and wants Maru to stay away from him and Robin does nothing to fix this situation. The only people in town he appears to like are Sam and Abigail. Alex might seem like a stereotypical airheaded jock, but he had a physically abusive father and once his mother passed away he moved with his grandparents to escape him. Penny has self-esteem issues from living in a trailer with her alcoholic mother, and their relationship has gotten soured by the closure of the town bus, which left Pam jobless and with nothing to do but getting drunk at the saloon, which (as you can witness yourself) makes her aggressive, which she takes out on Penny. Kent is shown to have PTSD after returning to the Valley from his stint in the Army. While it's clear that he and Jodi care for each other, there is some tension in that he has difficulty re-adjusting to civilian life after his stint as a POW, while she has some regrets about getting married and becoming a mother too early in her life. There are some dialogue hints that all is not necessarily well in Demetrius and Robin's marriage, and Concerned Ape originally planned for Robin to be a romanceable character. | |

A.I. Roulette | |

Regardless of your spouse's supposed intelligence, due to their A.I. Roulette nature when they "help" out on the farm, they are all apparently incapable of understanding how a sprinkler works (they water the plants next to them anyway) or that your upgraded barn/coop has an automated feeding system (claiming they've fed the animals). Justifiable to a degree for Haley, but not for the rest of them. Especially Shane has no excuses, considering he lived on Marnie's farm until marriage and was raising chickens of his own while doing so. | |

Infinity -1 Sword: The Lava Katana, which can be purchased at the Adventurer's Guild after reaching the bottom level of the mines. It's considerably more powerful than nearly every other weapon in the game—the next-strongest sword does about half as much damage on average—although slightly less powerful than the Galaxy Sword. | |

No Stat Atrophy | |
Stardew Valley / Videogame / int_4a321697 | comment |
No Stat Atrophy: Zigzagged. Skill points play the trope straight. After increasing a skill stat to a certain level, even if you never do that activity for the rest of the game, the stat doesn't go down or make you lose any levels. Averted with friendship. It'll decrease at a rate of two points a day if you don't talk to someone.note For comparison, talking to someone gives you twenty points, and a heart is worth 250 points. However, this stops once a player reaches max friendship with someone, which is either eight or ten hearts, depending on if the player character is married. The exception to the max friendship rule is a player's spouse. If a player doesn't talk to their spouse, their friendship goes down by twenty points a day, and it never stops decreasing as long as the player continues to ignore them. | |

And Your Reward Is Interior Decorating: Completing some events (like reaching certain museum checkpoints) may result in furniture rewards for your home, whose sole purpose is aesthetic. Completing all of the bundles for each room of the Community Center not only lets the spirits there restore the room to its former glory, but also gives you the base reward (like fixing bridges to certain areas) and in the center of the main room a star is put on a plaque that holds up to six. Completing all six rooms restores the Community Center to its former glory. | |

Stardew Valley / Videogame / int_5049f19d | comment |
Do Well, but Not Perfect: If by chance you complete the Bulletin Board bundles before the end of the first yearnote this is very hard, but doable with some pre-planning and use of the Travelling Cart, which often sells bundle requirement items including red cabbage which you can't get seeds for from Pierre's until the second year, every non-romancable NPC with a friendship meter that you know will receive 500 friendship points (two whole hearts)...but Kent is guaranteed to miss out, because he doesn't return to town until the start of the second year. That said, given the difficulty of trying to do this bundle within your first year (Red Cabbage in particular can't be grown until Year 2, it can only be bought from the Travelling Cart), you'd have to be trying for this to be a problem. | |

Everyone Is Bi: The player character(s) can get together with any of the twelve eligible bachelors and bachelorettes, regardless of the sex of either partner. However, all of the bachelors and bachelorettes seem to default to "straight" (each of them tends to be shipped with an opposite-sex counterpart), and if you pursue a same-sex relationship with any of them, several will note that they've never felt this way about another guy/girl before. Leah is the one exception: depending on your player's gender, she can be seen as either straight or gay, because Kel, her ex, is always the same gender as the player. | |

Gotta Catch Them All: Inverted. A compendium of items will slowly become unlocked as you sell the item in question. Which you first need to collect/catch. Played straight with the "Rarecrows", 8 collectible scarecrows available to unlock or purchase from certain events. Played literally straight with the fish (you need to actually catch them in order for them to show up on the collections screen; finding them elsewhere such as picking up shells on the beach don't count) and the artifacts (which also need to be donated to the museum). Completing either awards you a Stardrop. | |

Bragging Rights Reward | |
Stardew Valley / Videogame / int_55e5b37c | comment |
Bragging Rights Reward: If you sell out the community center to JojaMart and buy every available upgrade, Morris gives you a vending machine that produces Joja Cola. Not really all that useful, since everyone in town but one person hates the soda, it doesn't even restore that much energy, and sells for cheap. Also, you'll miss out on the other smaller rewards the completing the bundles would give you, and the "Friendship" reward that boosts all of your affection rating with every villager by two hearts becomes unavailable. But hey, free soda! The secret buildings. If you complete the quest for the wizard to enter the witch's hut, he unlocks several buildings you can place on your farm. These buildings might be nominally useful if they didn't cost so much money and resources to create. The warp pillars for the mountains and the beach each cost one million gold in addition to the other resources needed to craft them. And while instantaneous warping is nice, it's to pass over a minor inconvenience, and it's possible to create Totems that do the same thing which can be used anywhere. The Golden Clock is the most "bragging rights" of these buildings. In addition to requiring the Double Unlock by first completing a quest for the wizard, it's the most expensive thing in the game at ten million gold, and the only thing it does is stop debris from appearing on your farm. By the time you can earn that much money, debris is a pitiful concern. Completing a Secret Note challenge to reach floor 100 of the Skull Cavern earns you a maximum health boost from Mr. Qi. If you're good enough to clear a hundred floors in the game's hardest dungeon all in one sitting, you definitely don't need a health boost. Though this is subverted if you cheat your way to level 100 by building a huge stack of stairs, making it a potentially useful reward. | |

However, a player is free to romance any of the bachelor/ettes that they choose, regardless of gender. Subverted with Leah if you're playing as a female farmer, as her ex-lover Kel will always be the same gender as the player. | |

Predatory Business: Joja Corporation's JojaMart retail chain is obviously a pastiche of Walmart, and they even have a flagship product called "Joja Cola". Their business moved into Pelican Town in the hopes of driving Pierre's shop out of business and turning the Community Center into a warehouse. Hell, before the PC quits their job there, the skeleton of a former employee nobody's bothered to do anything about can be seen a couple cubicles in front of theirs. One almost has to wonder if Morris meant it literally when he said "I'm done for" after the community center was fixed up and he realized he lost the battle for the town. | |

Charged Attack: Non-combat version. Several tools, when upgraded, use the "hold" type charge, which will increase the AOE, decreasing both stamina and time usage to achieve a particular goal. For example, charging the gardening hoe once will create 3 tiles of furrow instead of one. Note that the how high a tool can be charged is based on how upgraded the tool is, maxing out at the fourth charge level. | |

Gathering Steam | |
Stardew Valley / Videogame / int_591c36ae | comment |
Gathering Steam: Plants that grow multiple crops without the need to replant them are this. Like every plant they need to grow to their full size first. But then they regrow their crops every couple of days, until they die at the end of their season (unless planted in a greenhouse, which makes them regrow forever, or if they are fruit trees that only become inactive out of season). Fruit trees produce crops with increasing quality the older the tree is. Bringing one up to iridium quality requires three in-game years. When a new animal is born, or bought from Marnie, it first needs to grow up before it can produce its goods. Increasing friendship with the animal, which takes several weeks, also improves the quality of the good and adjusts drops for some animals. Cows, goats, and chickens upgrade their products to Large versions which are worth more and the only way to produce gold cheese and mayonnaise. Rabbits and ducks increase the chance of them dropping their more valuable rare item, rabbit's feet and feathers, instead of their standard drop. Sheep can be sheared more frequently as friendship increases, going from once every three days to daily. | |

Disc-One Nuke | |
Stardew Valley / Videogame / int_5b81ca8d | comment |
Disc-One Nuke: Fishing is a great source of early game money when the player can't afford to expand their farm. By spending the entire day fishing it's possible to rake in more than $100,000 in the first Spring which can then be invested in the farm. Fishing also offers a chance at catching the mid-game weapons Neptune's Glaive and Broken Trident. They do more damage than anything the player can obtain in the Mines until Floor 60. Salmonberries are the perfect early game food for recovering energy. While they don't provide much energy individually, during Salmonberry Season a diligent player can gather hundreds of the fruit. This should tide a player over until they can get a more reliable source of food. Insect enemies have a tiny chance to drop an Ancient Seed. This is one of the most profitable crop types in the game, and insects roam the early mine levels. Some players make it a habit of grinding for insects to get at least one sample in Year 1. Abusing Staircases to complete the Mines early will net the player the best boots in the game and the fifth strongest sword. These make farming for copper in the early game much easier. | |

Bribing Your Way to Victory | |
Stardew Valley / Videogame / int_5c17c12f | comment |
Bribing Your Way to Victory: In-Universe: Choosing to take up a JojaMart Membership will see to the destruction of the Community Center and replace the bundles system, where you bring various items to the spirits inhabiting the place, with directly paying money to get the same rewards. This inevitably results in a farm that revolves almost entirely around making money. It's a lot easier, and a lot more expensive. Naturally, this is thematically and mechanically discouraged, as Joja effectively serves as the underlying antagonist to the game and losing the Community Center will lock you out of a lot of potential rewards. The staircase item is also this. It allows you to descend one floor in the mines, at the cost of 99 stone. Theoretically, you could store up masses of stone in advance, build dozens of staircases, and bypass the mines completely. At the Stardew Valley Fair, if you don't feel like playing lots of mini-games or didn't get enough star points for your grange display, you can just buy star points at 50 gold per point. | |

Expressive Health Bar: This game features an energy bar and health bar. When the player character is exhausted, an icon showing a tired face appears above the energy bar, and in-game, the character moves slowly. When the character's health is very low, the bar shakes while periodically erupting red droplets. | |

Late-Arrival Spoiler: A lot of them in regards to the NPCs. Pelican Town is very private and close-knit, and many characters won't tell you basic information about themselves (like Leah being a sculptor or Elliot being a writer) until you build a friendship with them, but it's hard to discuss the game in any detail without mentioning such things. | |

Gameplay and Story Segregation | |
Stardew Valley / Videogame / int_6320eced | comment |
Gameplay and Story Segregation: Despite the player being repeatedly informed that JojaMart's "low prices" are threatening to drive Pierre out of business, JojaMart's items are all more expensive than Pierre's store (presumably for balance purposes, since JojaMart, unlike Pierre's, is open from 9 AM to 11 PM 7 days a week). Even if the player purchases the Joja Membership, prices simply become the same. However, in a cutscene we learn that Joja can afford to do things like give away 50% discount vouchers right in Pierre's shop. This could be explained as the things you aren't shopping for being much cheaper, however. Earlier versions of the game had it so that if the player causes the JojaMart to shut down by restoring the Community Center, Shane would still go to "work" there every day. This issue was fixed in a patch. Regardless of your spouse's supposed intelligence, due to their A.I. Roulette nature when they "help" out on the farm, they are all apparently incapable of understanding how a sprinkler works (they water the plants next to them anyway) or that your upgraded barn/coop has an automated feeding system (claiming they've fed the animals). Justifiable to a degree for Haley, but not for the rest of them. Especially Shane has no excuses, considering he lived on Marnie's farm until marriage and was raising chickens of his own while doing so. Both Sam's eight-heart event and Shane's ten-heart event make use of the bus, even if it hasn't been repaired yet through the Community Center. | |

The Key Is Behind the Lock | |
Stardew Valley / Videogame / int_65bc52c5 | comment |
The Key Is Behind the Lock: This can become a huge hassle when trying to befriend certain townspeople. Some of them have schedules that will keep them in their rooms for most or all of the day, making them hard to find in order to befriend, and you can't go in their rooms until you have at least two hearts with them. Elliott and Sebastian are the most notorious for this, as they rarely leave their respective dwellings, and thus are very hard to make friends with. | |

Permanently Missable Content | |
Stardew Valley / Videogame / int_6602cad | comment |
Permanently Missable Content: Before the 1.1 update, several key items could only be found once and were unrecoverable. The Mermaid's Pendant could be bought only once, and if it was destroyed somehow before the player used it, the player would be locked out of marriage. The Galaxy Sword could only be created once, and losing it meant the player lost the (then) best weapon in the game. Sam's three-heart event can only be triggered during the first year, since his father Kent comes home in the second. Rarecrows can be blown up from bombs, without any means of replacing them. All the more reason to keep bombs off the farming grounds! They can also be lost "naturally" by debris on the farm expanding randomly each day and destroying them. All it takes sometimes is for you not to pay attention to the wild growth on some remote corner of your farm for a few days. Fortunately, an Anti-Frustration Feature was added to the game that allows purchasing additional copies of previously once-per-game rarecrows after one has been acquired. Clint's six-heart event will be lost if the player did Emily's eight heart event first, or if Emily married the player. | |

Stardew Valley / Videogame / int_681077c5 | comment |
Wide Open Sandbox: Gameplay is open-ended, with no requirements put upon the player(s) to complete any story objectives (not even the main Joja Co. storyline). In fact, it can take several in game years to complete the main storyline, so that player is all but encouraged to take things at their own pace. The only thing that has a "time limit", so to speak, is the evaluation that your Grandpa gives you at the end of Year 2, but as of patch 1.05, you can get re-evaluated at any time afterwards at the cost of a diamond. | |

An Economy Is You: Justified, since you're running the only local farm in town. Since JojaMart moved into town, it's damaged the local economy. NPCs go in and out of the local shops and will comment on them, and you can examine items on shelves. Shane works at the JojaMart. If you repair the Community Center, people will add it to their routines. Notably, if you sell your crops directly at Pierre's, you will see that he in turn has your products for sale himself (at a mark-up of course). | |

Repressive, but Efficient: Say what you like about their methods, there's no denying that Joja gets things done. JojaMart is open 14 hours a day, seven days a week. By contrast, Pierre's shop is open eight hours, and it's closed on Wednesdays and weekends. Also, if you buy a membership, the Joja Community Development Program is significantly faster, smoother and easier than restoring the Community Center, requiring a fairly trivial amount of gold to completely rebuild the town. You miss out on the bundle rewards, of course, but you can always make those yourself. | |

Treasure Room | |
Stardew Valley / Videogame / int_6ca84a8f | comment |
Treasure Room: Downplayed. At certain mine checkpoint levels, there may be exactly one treasure chest that contains a lootable item of varying usefulness. In addition, some mine levels (usually found right before a checkpoint level) will have an area with a large number of breakable treasure chests. However, the usefulness of these items may vary. Each day, one floor between 80 and 120 in the mines spawns a large number of rare mushrooms. In the version 1.3 Skull Caverns, you'll randomly come across rooms with a treasure chest in them. These chests can give out various seed packets, food items, useful farming devices, valuable items (such as iridium bars and slime eggs), and even red and blue cowboy hats that can't be obtained anywhere else. | |

Everybody Is Single | |
Stardew Valley / Videogame / int_6d2a892a | comment |
Everybody Is Single: There are a surprisingly large number of unattached characters in the valley. All of the bachelors and bachelorettes tend to be sorted into "mating pairs" but none of them ever into a proper relationship in order to remain available for the player character: Sebastian's feelings for Abigail are relatively muted (but then he's not the sort of character who makes grand romantic gestures anyway), but he does draft her to join Sam's band and if you marry either Maru or Sam, both of them will muse that they think the two of them should get together. Haley has a blatantly obvious crush on Alex and often follows him around; despite otherwise being girl-crazy, he is Oblivious to Love and never notices. Harvey (the town doctor) and Maru (his nurse) seem to have a strictly professional relationship but if you marry Penny (her best friend) she'll comment that there's something between them... but Maru is going to have to make the first move. Elliot and Leah often drink together at the Stardrop Saloon; both are similar personality-wise, loner creative types who live in solitude (they're the only bachelors who live and work alone). Shane and Emily tend to recruit each other for their creative projects, and are oddly quite cordial toward each other for having such diametrically opposed personalities. Notably, Shane and Emily were not romanceable when the game was first released. They were made available as partners together thanks to fan feedback. Ironically it's Sam and Penny, who are otherwise seldom seen together, have the most blatant reciprocal interactions of any of the bachelor pairs, though you only learn about this once you start getting serious with Penny, when Vincent comments he saw the two of them climbing trees together. (ConcernedApe, despite his usual tendency to invite player interpretation of events, made the point of defending her honor and insists nothing serious happened.) | |

Balance Buff: Sheds are useful for storing things like your food-processing machines, but Deluxe Barns have more space despite being intended for livestock. The 1.4 patch introduces the Big Shed upgrade, which provides just as much interior floor space as a Deluxe Barn but with the Shed's slightly smaller exterior footprint. Big Sheds furthermore cost less to build than Deluxe Barns and require less time to complete since only one upgrade is needed rather than two. | |

Extreme Omnivore: Several reactions to receiving gifts imply that the recipient intends to eat them, which makes sense if their particular Likes/Dislikes are food, but they also say the same line for anything else, edible or not. Abagail is the standout example for (apparently) eating Ametheyst and Quartz, but you can get some unintentionally amusing responses, like Kent claiming he was fed explosive ammo as a P.O.W. or Harvey claiming he may be allergic to ancient fossils and statues. | |

Guide Dang It! | |
Stardew Valley / Videogame / int_6ec989d8 | comment |
Gift-giving. Each character has only a few "loved" gifts, which are often rare and/or expensive, and outside of a few specific hints from characters the only way to find out whether they love a specific gift is to use it up and give it to them. Add to this the fact that you can only give them a gift two times per game week and if you get it wrong you can even lose hearts with them, figuring out gifts without using a guide can get quite frustrating. Even the few "universal" loves tend to have exceptions (e.g. everyone loves Prismatic Shards except Haley, who hates them). The one exception to this is the Mermaid's Pearl, since everyone loves it, but you'll only ever get one, and the only thing in the game that tells you how to get it may never show up. | |

Commonplace Rare: The only way to get a tea set is by gift during the Feast of the Winter Star, on one day of the entire in-game year. Any adult other than Clint, Evelyn, Marnie, Robin, or Willy may give you a tea set, but even if your secret gift-giver isn't one of these townspeople, there's still no guarantee that they'll give you a tea set. | |

Mana Meter: The more general Energy, instead of Mana. It, like the Life Meter, is also a vertical green bar. It decreases with tool use, consumption of energy lowering foods, and other things. It is restored mainly through food and the Spa. In multiplayer, a character can also regain energy by laying in their bed. | |

NPC Roadblock | |
Stardew Valley / Videogame / int_7cd781f1 | comment |
In order to bypass the NPC Roadblock in a late-game quest, the player needs to give the NPC Void Mayonnaise. The item can be gotten the long way around, which requires a Void Egg from either a Random Event or paying the only merchant who sells it 5000g... or Void Mayonnaise can simply be directly fished from the area's surrounding waters (but only once). | |

Too Awesome to Use | |
Stardew Valley / Videogame / int_7d561d58 | comment |
Too Awesome to Use: Life Elixirs, which completely restore health and energy. You get one by merit of requiring one of each uncommon mushroom to craft. This includes the Purple Mushroom, which you aren't likely to get a ready supply of until later in the game and mines (or via the farm cave with the mushroom option, or the forest farm map in autumn). The Mermaid's Pearl and the Golden Pumpkin are two of the only items that everybody in town loves, no exceptions. At most, you can only get one of them per in-game year, because they're festival-exclusive items. Chances are you'll just sell them for profit or hang onto them until someone's birthday some months away. Magic Rock Candy is one of the most powerful food items in the game, restoring a whopping 500 Energy and 255 health and giving massive boosts to your skills: +2 to mining, +1 to speed, and +5 to luck, attack, and defense. It's also hard to come by; you get one as a reward for donating 90 items to the museum, but the only way to get more is as a rare drop from Haunted Skull enemies, or from the Desert Trader (who only sells one a week every Thursday in exchange for three Prismatic Shards, one of the rarest minerals in the game). | |

Vague Age | |
Stardew Valley / Videogame / int_7f080f98 | comment |
Vague Age: No character is given an explicit age in the story, a deliberate design choice by ConcernedApe to help players make their own subjective interpretations of characters, events, and relationships. This is especially true of the bachelors and bachelorettes: many seem to be fresh out of high school or the equivalent (Alex, Haley, Maru, and Penny in particular) whereas others are clearly meant to be somewhat older (Elliott, Leah, and Harvey in particular). ConcernedApe has said that all the characters are "legal" and that he envisions most of the younger bachelor(ette)s to be around 20 years old. | |

Chilly Reception | |
Stardew Valley / Videogame / int_815215f5 | comment |
Chilly Reception: The small town is wary of newcomers, and characters like Shane, Sebastian, George, and Linus will be particularly stand-offish and hostile until you raise their heart level. Even the friendlier sorts aren't particularly inclined to chat for long at first, and you'll probably be spending the first Flower Dance observing, as you're not close enough to anyone to participate. Later in the game, if you get married, the Mayor will admit he had concerns as to whether you'd ever fit in. The only characters that seem to be instantly friendly are Robin and Pierre. Y'know, people that live from selling you their products/services. | |

Dysfunction Junction | |
Stardew Valley / Videogame / int_820ac3c5 | comment |
Dysfunction Junction: Pelican Town really is as neighborly and wholesome as it appears, with nothing in the way of skeletons in the closet...at least, on a community level. In private, each family is a mini-Crapsaccharine World to themselves. The dysfunction is less dramatic than usual, but it's still present. For example: Jodi's family consists of two playful but generally decent and well-behaved boys who care about each other immensely, and their doting mother. However, their father is away fighting a war in Year One, and returns a Shell-Shocked Veteran in Year Two. And the doting mother regrets marrying so young and is either constantly complaining about the housework, or fantasizing about living on her own, without a family. Robin and Demetrius are Sickeningly Sweethearts who are thriving in their chosen fields. They have a sweet-natured prodigy daughter and a perfect life... if you ignore the isolated and depressed Emo Teen in the basement. Which is exactly what Demetrius does (unless when he scolds Sebastian for harmless fun such as his snow-goon). Sebastian mentions multiple times that Demetrius doesn't like him and that he feels like Maru is the preferred child of both Robin and Demetrius and despises her for that. Meanwhile, Maru wonders why her half-brother avoids her. ConcernedApe has also claimed to be considering making Robin a possible love interest, which would require the player to break up her marriage. Pierre's got as traditional a nuclear family as you can get, and their store is the center of life in Pelican Town with the only apparent downside being Caroline occassionally complaining that he spends events with selling things. If only he could be sure that his daughter is biologically his... Despite being the Ragtag Bunch of Misfits of the Pelican Town families, Marnie, Jas and Shane all love and care about each other. However, Marnie's affair with Lewis dominates her life, and Shane's working and drinking himself to death, which is why poor Jas is so self-sufficient. Evelyn, George and Alex are a sweet set of grandparents with their grandchild and each of them is clearly very proud and happy to be part of this family. Yet George complains especially in summer that is disability makes it impossible for him to play with Alex, and Evelyn suffers from George's bad health as well as the loss of her daughter. And Alex has to deal with his deceased mom and drunk/abusive, absent father... | |

Ambiguously Evil | |
Stardew Valley / Videogame / int_853b7948 | comment |
Ambiguously Evil: JojaCorp is hinted to be polluting Stardew Valley and is portrayed as soul crushing to work for, but is otherwise very fill-in-the-blank when it comes to everything else. Aside from it being left to the imagination what siding with them would entail in the long run, just the nature of the company itself is ambiguous. It's presumably a top tier soda producer like Coke/Pepsi, but it's also a big box chain and internet provider. In the opening scene it looks like any white collar environment — allowing the player to fill in just about anything that applies to them. | |

Downplayed. At certain mine checkpoint levels, there may be exactly one treasure chest that contains a lootable item of varying usefulness.

Also, Pierre is not personally a Jerkass (at least not intentionally) while Morris is. | |

Even the local mom and pop business does things like constantly pressure you for seeds. | |

It also used to be that, if you gave a bachelor/bachelorette a gift while married, your spouse had a fairly high chance of getting jealous. ConcernedApe would later patch in a fix to where this wouldn't happen as long as you gave the bachelor/bachelorette a gift on their birthday. As of the multiplayer update, the bachelors/bachelorettes will react accordingly if you try to date all of them at once. In co-op, bachelors/bachelorettes can date multiple players, i.e. more than one player can present a bouquet to them, and they'll accept. | |

Evil Is Easy: The community center is a long-term project that requires you to put a lot of effort into doing stuff in every arena of the game to rebuild Pelican Town. The Joja Community Development Program will turn the community center into a warehouse, and then let you buy the upgrades as soon as you can come up with the dough, which a good farm will make far more quickly than they'll get that fishing or greenhouse bundle finished. Who needs some old junimos, anyway? | |

Stardew Valley / Videogame / int_985f0a0f | comment |
Production Throwback: Joja Cola originates from a panel of Eric Barone's previous webcomic, Wumbus World. Said panel shows a newspaper ad promoting the soda as having "3x more aspartame" than before, which would make it ridiculously sweet, possibly explaining why the villagers all hate it so much. Wumbus World is referenced again at the movie theater, introduced in version 1.4, which will sometimes screen a movie called Wumbus that evidently stars the comic's title character. | |

Difficult, but Awesome: The Fishing Minigame earns a lot of complaints from players for being hard, but if you get the hang of it early on, it'll be the bulk of your income for the early game, giving you the funds you need to get the farm up and running. A later update added the "Training Rod" purchaseable at Willy's, which gives you similar stats to having level 5 fishing making it much easier for new players. | |

Stardew Valley / Videogame / int_9bb0dcc5 | comment |
Saving the Orphanage: The Pelican Town Community Center is rundown and Lewis is almost ready to sell the land to Jojamart, who will tear the building down and replace it with a warehouse. Completing "bundles" for the juminos inside the Center restores the building and saves it from destruction. | |

Foreshadowing | |
Stardew Valley / Videogame / int_9d12bbc1 | comment |
Foreshadowing: There's a line of dialogue from Jodi in which she warns you that if you're not careful, all traces of your old lifestyle will be wiped away once you get married. In the original version of the game, this happens to several of the love interests if you marry them, including her own son, Sam (who loses all interest in his music), and Sebastian (who decides that his beloved motorbike is too dangerous for a family man to have around). In contrast, Abigail seems to take the opportunity to realize her dream of being an adventurer; she will randomly mention on some mornings that she went adventuring for a bit, and will give you some monster drops. She will also occasionally give you bombs and buffing food to help your adventuring along. The 1.1 update has alleviated some of this. For example, a married Sebastian has apparently changed his mind about his motorbike, as he now keeps it in your shared backyard and can be seen working on it from time to time and Sam's private room contains his keyboard. | |

In-Universe Game Clock | |
Stardew Valley / Videogame / int_9f93adcd | comment |
In-Universe Game Clock: Ten in-game minutes for approximately every seven real-time seconds, though more accurately the twenty hours of in-game time that comprises one day takes 14 minutes and 20 seconds to elapse (approximately 84:1 time compression). Originally this was ten game minutes for every five real-time seconds (120:1 time compression) but it was slowed down after the Chucklefish pre-release stream due to widespread complaints about the pace being too rushed. | |

Purple Is Powerful: The most powerful tier of items are purple. The best tools are Iridium tools, the best quality is Iridium quality, and the best weapons are the purple Galaxy weapons. And the Wizard, who seems to be fairly adept at magic, has purple hair and clothes. The most valuable mushroom is the Purple Mushroom. Eating a Purple Mushroom of Iridium (purple) quality gives more energy than any prepared meal, and is in fact one of the most nutritious objects in the game. | |

Randomly Generated Levels | |
Stardew Valley / Videogame / int_a456a8a9 | comment |
Randomly Generated Levels: The cave system, which is divided into "floors" (you must find the way down to the next level in order to proceed). This is in contrast to the static overworld map, including the farm. However, ConcernedApe moved away from pure procedural generation for the caves/mines, instead designing "some things" by hand. This is even more so the case in the Skull Cavern. In the regular mines, where there is still a sense of randomness in the enemies and items that spawn, as well as when the ladders show up, those mines have a set layout for each level and it ends at level 120. In the Skull Cavern, however, the level layouts are completely randomized and you can go down well past level 120. | |

Mood Whiplash: At the end of year 2, your grandfather evaluates your work on your farm, and it can be surprisingly dark and harsh depending on how much or how little work you've done. In an interview with PC Gamer, the developer admitted outright that the harshness of the evaluation clashed too much with the game's overall relaxed, casual tone, and he changed it with the patch 1.05 update. | |

Dramatic Irony | |
Stardew Valley / Videogame / int_ab5eea65 | comment |
Dramatic Irony: A player who chats to everyone can become aware of relationship dynamics that the people in that relationship aren't aware of. As a result, the player listens to characters make assumptions that the MC knows are wrong. However, in most cases, you have no option to correct mistaken assumptions or help characters reconcile. | |

Stardew Valley / Videogame / int_b3b162c8 | comment |
Honesty Is the Best Policy: In almost every cutscene where you have the choice to lie or tell someone else to lie, the person being lied to will see through it and lose Friendship Points as a result. Conversely, telling the truth will turn out for the best, as the other person appreciates the honesty and is willing to forgive simple accidents. In the few cases where it is better to hide the truth, it's generally because you're doing it to allow someone else to save face, rather than lying on your own behalf. | |

Acceptable Breaks from Reality | |
Stardew Valley / Videogame / int_b6e1d40b | comment |
Acceptable Breaks from Reality: On top of the compressed timeframe for growing and seasons, the game has a few other breaks from real life farming in the name of reducing player frustration. When you purchase a plant that needs to be grown on a trellis (such as hops or grapes), they come with the trellis. If you marry someone and they move in with you, they will be able to harvest and water plants you accidentally trapped with trellises. The Junimos from the Junimo Hut can also harvest trapped plants. Cranberries do not have to be wet-harvested, they're only dry-harvested. Pests are pretty uncommon. The few that the game has show up all have ways of blocking them or dealing with them. You don't have to worry about anything you harvest spoiling or suffering from some abiotic pests like in real life. You can store fruits, veggies, fish, etc. for years, and they will never go bad. Milk and egg producing animals are capable of breeding despite the apparent lack of any male of their species. The Greenhouse can simultaneously grow plants from every season despite the vastly different growing conditions most plants require which prevent them growing at the same time. | |

Dumpster Dive | |
Stardew Valley / Videogame / int_b8259a3b | comment |
Dumpster Dive: Rummaging through the bins won't endear you to anyone who sees you do it, but the trash you find can be reprocessed, and once in a while you discover something nice that's been carelessly thrown out. Linus's first Heart event involves discovering him rummaging through George's garbage, claiming he doesn't want the food to go to waste. After agreeing to leave George's trash alone he proceeds to go after the Saloon's trash instead. Gus immediately catches him and refuses to accept his explanation, instead offering Linus a free meal whenever he's that hungry again. Combining the above two, Linus is the only character who doesn't react badly to seeing you go through a trash can, instead asking if you've found anything. This only comes up once in the game, as Linus does not frequent the town outside of scripted events. | |

Did They or Didn't They?: A few of the marriage candidates (particularly Haley, Penny, and Sam) have ten-heart scenes that suggest more than just cuddling was going on between them and the main character. In the 10-heart scene with Emily, your camping trip is interrupted by a bear, forcing you to hide with Emily in the tent. Then you realize the second sleeping bag is still outside, so you have to share one. Then the tent shakes before a Fade to Black. | |

Really Gets Around | |
Stardew Valley / Videogame / int_bf1255fa | comment |
Really Gets Around: As of 1.3, if you get ten hearts of friendship with every bachelor or bachelorette in the game but have yet to marry, the town will take note of this and perceive the player as this. And the next time you visit Emily and Haley's house or Gus' restaurant, all of the bachelor/ettes will confront you. Normally this ends very poorly for the player, and everyone will be angry with them for at least a week. However, if they have the Lucky Rabbit's Foot in their inventory at the time of being caught, instead of a hostile confrontation, the respective group greets the player with open arms, either gossiping or playing pool without a hint of resent. | |

Shout-Out | |
Stardew Valley / Videogame / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: A couple of the player character's shirt choices are clearly references to Link's attire (one based on Ocarina of Time, and one based on a A Link to the Past). Abigail has posters of Crono and Ecco the Dolphin in her bedroom. At the Fall Village Fair, there is a test-your-strength minigame which nets you one single Star. One of the 8 special scarecrows is Turnip Head from Howl's Moving Castle. One of the mine monsters is a tiny ball of soot who jumps around and squeaks. Usually travels in packs. The Broken CD: "It's a JojaNet 2.0 Trial CD. They must've made a billion of these things." Anyone who's lived in the US in the 90s will likely remember the sheer volume of trial CDs they received in the mail. Sebastian has a poster of the player's avatar from the early Harvest Moon titles. The way the Juminos put up the stars on the wall in the Community Center is reminiscent of the Star Piece screen in Super Mario RPG complete with the star spinning sideways and going up from the bottom and the Jumino in a similar Item Get! pose to Mario. Eventually you will have six stars in a hexagonal layout, with the exception of the seventh star in the center in SMRPG. A randomized name for your pet is Kupo. One of the wallpapers you can put on your walls has some very Minecraft-esque dirt-and-grass block terrain. If Abigail is your wife and you name your daughter Cirilla, she'll mention having a dream of your child growing up to be a monster hunter.◊ | |

Video Game Caring Potential: As you befriend characters, you help make positive changes in their lives. Many players also opt to "rescue" the characters they feel the most sympathy for via marriage, such as marrying Penny to save her from her unhealthy relationship with her mother. Alternately, a great number of people romance and marry Sebastian, who barely HAS a relationship with his whole family as The Unfavorite. | |

Combining the above two, Linus is the only character who doesn't react badly to seeing you go through a trash can, instead asking if you've found anything. This only comes up once in the game, as Linus does not frequent the town outside of scripted events. | |

Stardew Valley / Videogame / int_d45c0b86 | comment |
Using a pile of staircases to complete the 100-level quest in Skull Cavern gets you a reprimand that you were supposed to do it the hard way... but he'll give you the reward anyway, for having the chutzpah to cheat. If you do the quest fairly, your benefactor is sincerely impressed and remarks that he expected you to cheat. | |

Mooks but No Bosses: There are no boss enemies in the dungeons. The closest you get to them are the floors where the exit appears when all enemies are defeated, including one type of floor in the Skull Cavern where Pepper Rexes make their only apperances, but they're encountered in squads and go down just as quickly as other enemies. | |

Anti-Frustration Features | |
Stardew Valley / Videogame / int_d6f284a3 | comment |
Anti-Frustration Features: Accidentally put something in your sell box that you didn't mean to? You can take 'the last thing you sold right back out for no cost. The only time the items are actually sold is when you go to sleep at the end of the day. The Queen of Sauce occasionally does reruns in case you miss an episode and its associated recipe. The Scythe and Weapons don't harm crops, meaning the player won't accidentally cut down a crop still needed. The scythe only cuts down dead crops, and harvesting crops that require the use of the scythe get harvested through pressing the pick-up button instead of the use-item button. This is especially helpful on the Monster farm, where monsters spawn at night and might need to be fought off. Grandpa's assessment of your work was originally a one-time deal, meaning failure was permanent and the rewards were lost. This was eventually changed in a patch so that you could have a reassessment by paying the shrine a Diamond. Your friendship rating with another villager stops decaying after you max it out, meaning that you don't have to continue flinging gifts their way to maintain that elusive rating. Also, a patch eventually made every affection rating stop decaying after a certain amount of time had passed if you didn't talk to a villager. (The exception to this rule is your spouse, whose affection rating never stops decaying if you ignore them.) In order to bypass the NPC Roadblock in a late-game quest, the player needs to give the NPC Void Mayonnaise. The item can be gotten the long way around, which requires a Void Egg from either a Random Event or paying the only merchant who sells it 5000g... or Void Mayonnaise can simply be directly fished from the area's surrounding waters (but only once). Originally, the player couldn't apply fertilizer to a tile after the seed has been sown, a problem for many first-time players who had just planted their crops. The 1.1 update adds the ability to apply fertilizer after seeds have been sown. You can't add fertilizer if a crop has already started to grow, though. In the fishing game at the Stardew Valley Fair, the game doesn't end when time runs out if you're in the middle of catching a fish. It's only when the catching mini-game is finished that the game actually stops and your score is assessed. The 1.3 update added secret notes, which practically outright state what items various characters like or love the most, addressing a major concern that knowing what gifts to give people was essentially an exercise in frustration trying to find out using trial-and-error or just giving up and looking on the wiki. 1.4 added a gift tracker for each townsperson that lists what gifted items they love, like, or dislike. This gift tracker automatically updates from both conversations and uncovered Secret Notes, making it easier to start discovering what people like best. As of 1.4, it is now impossible to overshoot floor 100 of Skull Caverns from using mineshafts, taking out a good deal of frustration from trying Qi's second challenge. 1.4 added dinosaur enemies that can drop the otherise elusive dinosaur egg. Similarly, a new merchant in the desert sells artifact geodes in exchange for omni-geodes. You can add player slots to an existing farm by buying cabins. Normally, most buildings are relatively expensive, but cabins only cost 100 gold and a pittance of one or two other common resource types; in-universe this is explained by cabins being funded by the town's agricultural fund. If you go to bed after midnight with more energy than the amount you would start with the next day, you'll wake up in the morning with the same amount of energy that you had going into bed instead. If you pass out from staying up past 2 AM in your own house, you'll still start the next day with an energy penalty, but you won't incur a Gold penalty. The Night Market was added in update 1.3 where, among other things, you can re-purchase Rarecrows that could previously be acquired only once per game (and could be permanently lost for a variety of reasons). | |

Fictional Sport: Gridball, which so strongly resembles American football (also known as gridiron football) that it might as well just be an alternate name for it. Zuzu City has a professional gridball team, the Tunnelers, and several of the NPCs are fans. Alex even dreams of playing for them someday, and if you get close enough to Shane, he'll take you to a Tunnelers game. (They apparently aren't very popular, since a guy working a minimum-wage job was able to get two front-row tickets and the stadium is half-empty.) | |

Cash Gate | |
Stardew Valley / Videogame / int_dd078783 | comment |
Cash Gate: Most of the bundles indirectly require you to spend money so that you have the seeds and tools needed to complete them. But of note are the Vault bundles, which are completed by paying money upfront; 42,500 Gold is needed to complete all of them and access the Calico Desert. And then every time you want to go there, you have to pay 500 Gold to take the bus, or use Desert Warp Totems which must be bought for 3 Omni Geodes each or crafted, and the crafting recipe itself costs ten Iridium Bars and each crafted Totem uses even more Iridium alongside other ingredients. Buying a Joja membership to replace the Community Center with the Joja Warehouse turns the bundle system into this. Instead of offering the required items, you just pay cash to have Joja Corporation complete the projects that the Junimos would otherwise do. | |

Money Multiplier | |
Stardew Valley / Videogame / int_dd43121c | comment |
Money Multiplier: The quality of a good will increase its value. While mostly random, there are ways to increase the chance of getting a good quality item, like using fertilizer (crops) or casting the line further away from any landmass (fish). The processed version of something sells for more then the basic version (mayo sells for more than eggs, cheese sells for more than milk, etc), encouraging you to craft processing machines for your farm (though some are given as rewards for completing bundles). Casks increase the quality and thus price of cheese and alcohol over time. Otherwise there is no way to produce alcohol with any star or cheese above a gold quality. Skills act as multipliers in two manners. First, higher levels of Farming, Foraging, and Fishing increase the chance of getting quality crops, foraged items, and fish respectively. Using food items to increase the level adds to this. Second, several of the Profession choices at Level 5 and 10 of skills offer a flat increase to the sale value of items. Bear's Knowledge triples the sell value of Blackberries and Salmonberries, making the raw fruit worth as much as the wine. Similarly Spring Onion Mastery increases the sell value of the item by five times. Planting flowers next to bee houses causes the honey produced to have a higher sale value based on the type of flower. The value of the honey can increase enough that it's worth more raw than processed into mead. | |

Gameplay Automation: Sprinklers will automatically water surrounding tiles every morning, saving the player time and energy. Higher-quality sprinklers water more surrouding tiles but require increasingly scarce resources. You can buy an Auto-Grabber item that, when placed in a barn or coop, will harvest resources from animals residing in the same building every morning and hold them for you. However, it costs 25,000 gold, and it cannot collect truffles (that pigs find) because truffles are only found outdoors. If you're married, your spouse may water crops for you. | |

Stardew Valley / Videogame / int_e5eabfc4 | comment |
Elemental Crafting: Most of the tools (axe, pickaxe, hoe, and watering can) start with a generic variant of an unspecified material, and can later be upgraded to copper, steel, gold, and finally to iridium. Each upgrade makes them stronger or cover a larger area. Fishing poles go through bamboo, fiberglass, and iridium, gaining the ability to apply bait and tackle on the way. Weapons avert the trope, however, as the materials they're made out of are all over the place, from more common metals like iron and steel to less common materials like insect parts and bone. | |

Great Offscreen War | |
Stardew Valley / Videogame / int_f722f635 | comment |
Great Offscreen War: The Dwarves and Shadow People have only recently ended the Elemental War, a thousand year long conflict which has left both sides bitter. Based on the conversation between Krobus and the Dwarf, the Shadow People launched the first attack in response to the Dwarves forcing them out of their homeland. Stardew Valley is located in the Ferngilly Republic which is currently at war with the Gotoro Empire across the sea. It is mostly mentioned in passing with the most direct references being related to Kent, a soldier who spent time as a prisoner of war. | |

Video Game Cruelty Potential | |
Stardew Valley / Videogame / int_f87c42d4 | comment |
Video Game Cruelty Potential: You can do some pretty horrible things to the characters that play on their worst fears and insecurities, such as calling Alex "worthless" (shortly after he's revealed to you that his abusive father hurled that specific insult at him on a regular basis). The 1.1 update adds a few more callous ways to interact with other characters. You are free to divorce and marry all the eligible villagers if you so choose to. And while they will hold a grudge against you after you divorce them, you can activate a a dark shrine in the Witch's hut to erase their memories, causing them to forget that you were ever involved with them and letting you start fresh. And by offering a Prismatic Shard to another dark shrine you can turn your children into doves, permanently removing them from your life. On top of all of the above, you can even romance Emily in the update, after pushing Clint to ask her out! You can also anger people by using the slingshot on them, or building things in their walking paths. If you don't give back Lewis's Lucky Shorts immediately, you can use it in the Luau pot, grossing out the Governor and royally pissing off Lewis. You can also use it for your display at the Stardew Valley Fair, causing Lewis to bribe you with 750 stars to get you to keep quiet about it. With the addition of the movie theater, you can take one of the kids to a horror movie. Surprise, they dislike it. | |

Random Event | |
Stardew Valley / Videogame / int_f9a49c92 | comment |
Random Event: There is a wide range of semi-random events that can occur. Some occur on dates randomly determined when a save file is first generated while others occur if certain conditions are met. A crop fairy can visit the farm at night and cause all planted crops within a set area to instantly reach maturity. A meteor can crash into the farm, destroying anything it lands on and requiring a gold pickaxe to harvest. A UFO can visit the farm, leaving a capsule behind. This requires a set of randomly selected squares in the farm be empty or the visit does not occur. An owl statue can appear on the farm. This has the same requirement as the UFO visit. When the player has a coop or slime hutch the Witch has a chance of cursing it at night. This causes a Void Egg to appear in the coop or turns all slimes in the hutch black. During fall, a Mushroom Tree may appear on the farm. If you have any farm animals out overnight and you don't have the doors to their homes open, there is a chance that one of them will be killed overnight by wild animals. A train may pass by during the daytime. You'll hear the distant sound of a whistle and see a text notificaton. Get there before it passes by completely and you can salvage whatever items fall out of it. | |

Sequence Breaking: You can make use of getting gifts from villagers with friendly relations to get ahead in developing the Community Center. Most notably, Emily's Raw Wool presents, which can help immensely in getting the Greenhouse within Year 1. | |

Video Game Cruelty Punishment | |
Stardew Valley / Videogame / int_fcd993bd | comment |
Video Game Cruelty Punishment: There are several things you can do which cause people to lose friendship points with the farmer. Shooting people with a slingshot causes a drop in friendship, since they'll be annoyed with you. Using an item with a negative energy value (such as a Red Mushroom or Void Mayonnaise) in the potluck soup at the Luau will cause a substantial hit in your friendship values with everyone in town. Rejecting Penny's Anguished Declaration of Love in her ten-heart event causes her to lose 1,500 points of affection for the player (a full six hearts) and prevents the player from romancing her. Saying you don't like kids in her eight-heart event causes the same large affection drop. Selling the community center out to JojaMart replaces the items you need to bring to the community center with money. However, the player can no longer earn the smaller rewards from completing bundles, and the "Friendship" bonus that would have increased everyone's friendship with the player by 500 points will no longer be available. | |

You Mean "Xmas": The Egg Festival, Spirit's Eve, and the Feast of the Winter Star are analogous to Easter, Halloween, and Thanksgiving/Christmas respectively. | |

Brick Joke: During the Stardew Valley Fair, Willy will comment that Mayor Lewis doesn't seem to like fish. Sure enough, during the Festival of Ice, while he's judging the ice fishing competition, Mayor Lewis gags at the smell of the fish. | |

Bigger on the Inside | |
Stardew Valley / Videogame / int_fe1b2e75 | comment |
Bigger on the Inside: All buildings are bigger on the inside - both the buildings and expansions you can buy and every house in town. Even Linus' tent is slightly bigger inside. Perhaps that's part of the magic of Stardew Valley? No wonder JojaMart came to town. Want to create a distillery farm? You can now almost double your output by putting your kegs inside sheds, thereby making more room for crops. (Barns are even bigger for the footprint, but many players dislike the layout required to maximise, and it takes both time and a lot of materials to get them.) | |

Shown Their Work: The women's locker room in the spa has a pad and tampon dispenser. (Though the game doesn't specify whether it is perpetually empty with a nonfunctional coin slot, which would be the true mark of accuracy.) | |
