As some of you may know, from watching my live streams, I am a Graphic Designer and Gamer.
These two professions have come together in more ways than one and they always seem to find a
way to rub off on one another. This Stardew Valley Indie Guide is where my love of gaming, meets
my love of graphic design and gets mashed together to create this helpful, unofficial guide, filled
with all sorts of tips and tricks I have learned while playing, both solo and with you watching. Some
of the things in this guide have been inspired by you, my viewers, who have offered your own tips to
me while playing live. That being said, Id like to dedicate this guide to my super fantastical viewers
as my way of saying thanks!

what's new
Great wealths of new content have been added to Stardew Valley with ConcernedApes last update to 1.1. The following
outlines what is new and has been added to this version of the Indie Guide. Minor changes were also made guide-wide.
These sections are included in the above Table of Contents but Whats New can quickly get Veteran players to the
new content.

The City Center
You will spend a major portion of your time in Pelican Town which is where most the villagers live and work. It is also

B. Community Center
After the 5th of Spring, if you enter Pelican Town between 8:00 AM - 1:00 PM, Mayor Lewis will take you
to the Community Center. It is in disrepair and strange creatures called Junimos are dwelling inside. The
Mayor seeks your help in restoring the Community Center to its previous luster. This is where you will come
to turn in items for bundles. If you buy the Joja Mart membership from Morris, it will become the Joja Mart
Warehouse.
Hours: All days, All times
C. JojaMart
JojaMart is a big box store owned by Joja Corporation. The store is represented by Morris, the Customer
Satisfaction Representative. Here you can shop for items similar to Pierres, however, their seeds are sold
for a cost of about 25% more than Pierres, unless you have coupons. If you purchase a membership,
prices become equivilent to Pierres but at a cost. They also sell special Joja Corporation products such
as decorations and their flagship product, Joja Cola.
Hours: All days, 9:00 AM - 11:00 PM
D. Blacksmith
Clint works and lives at the Blacksmith. He spends a large amount of time working here and is open 7
days a week. Here you can purchase ore, upgrade tools, and pay for Clint to break open Geodes for
25 gold each. It should be noted, you cannot buy Iridium Ore here.
Hours: All days, 9:00 AM - 4:00 PM
E. Minecart (Town)
A minecart is attached to the Blacksmith, once repaired you can use it to fast travel.
fantastical tip
The Notice Board at Pierres Shop
Check the Notice Board outside Pierres Shop everyday. If
there is a quest available, there will be a gold exclamation
mark hovering about it. Quests can offer gold in exchange
for items and may win you friendship points with the villagers
when completed. Also, check the calendar here for
upcoming birthdays!

E. Leahs Cottage
Leah lives alone in her Cottage in Cindersap Forest. She seems to be an outdoor gal and enjoys the
quiet life living among the wildlife. Leahs Cottage is locked until the played has at least two friendship
hearts with her. Her Cottage is located just south of Marnies Ranch near the east passage.
Hours: All days, 10:00 AM - 12:00 AM with two friendship hearts.
G. Abandoned House
This house is initially abandoned, probably due to its poor location on the outskirts in the far southwest
of Cindersap Forest. After the player unlocks their first achievement, a Mouse will take ownership of
the dwelling and start selling hats for 1,000 gold each. You can return to the shop each time you earn
another achievement, which is when a new hat becomes available for sale.
Hours: All days, All hours
H. Wizards Tower
This is the home of the Wizard, M. Rasmodius who lives alone on the western outskirts of Cindersap Forest
since most of the villagers appear to be afraid of him. The tower is locked until the player meets Lewis
at the Community Center for the first time and the Wizard will then send a letter inviting you to his tower.
After reaching 4 hearts with the Wizard, you can gain access to his trap door in the back room which
leads down to the Shrine of Illusions where for 500 gold you can change your appearance.
Hours: All days, 6:00 AM - 11:00 PM

local spa, where he goes regularly, and he also attends all the town events, but usually from a distance.
You can visit Linus in his tent at any time, and he is usually close by.
The Beach
Sun, Sand, & Surf
The area directly south of Pelican Town is the Beach. Here you will find plenty of spots to toss a line and fish for ocean
fish, scavenge the beach for shells, and Willys Fish Shop. The Beach is also where the Luau and the Dance of the
Moonlight Jellies events are held. If youre lucky, you might even see the Sea Monster swimming under Willys Fish

goods and has a birthday on Winter day 1. You can build your relationship with Krobus to 10 hearts

Quick Money Tip by Welpthatsawkward
Making money in the beginning can be hard and fishing
is an easy way to make money, fast! Fishing can net you
anywhere from 400g to 700g. While it may not sound like
much, it will help a lot while waiting for your crops to grow.
You can self sustain from algae, or seaweed that you
can catch while fishing that way you dont have to worry
about energy, which we all know can be a big problem in
the beginning.

Crops are seasonal and can only be grown outdoors in Spring, Summer, and Fall. If you have the
Greenhouse, you can grow crops inside the Greenhouse without the season restrictions and grow
crops during Winter. It is important to remember, at the end of a season, crops will die on the first day
of the new season. Pay attention to grow times and season restrictions. If you are making your own
seeds, instead of buying them, plan ahead and have your seeds ready to plant on the 1st day of the
new season. Crops have a quality when harvested that can increase their value. Quality ranges from
Basic, Silver (1.25x), Gold (1.5x) and Iridium (2x) displayed on the crop as a colored star.
general tips
Grow Times
The day you plant your seeds does not count towards the grow time. Each crop has its own grow time which is
listed on the seed packet. Pay attention to these times and make sure to get them planted with enough time to
harvest.
Scarecrows
If there is not a Scarecrow in the vicinity of your
crops, a crow can eat your crops (which removes
them). Scarecrows will protect an 8x8 area of
space vertically and horizontally and a 6x6 area
of space diagonally from its location. This area is
a total protected circular space of 249 spaces
surrounding the Scarecrow. Rarecrows protect
the same area as regular Scarecrows and are
purely cosmetic. There are 8 Rarecrows that can
be collected in Stardew Valley.
Giant Crops
Trellis Crops There is a chance of Cauliflower, Melon and Pumpkin growing
Some crops grow on a trellis, such as Green Beans, a giant crop when planted in a 3x3 pattern. A Giant crop is a

for harvesting, even if you cant. This can allow you to
plant trellis crops in big square grids.
fruit trees
Fruit trees take 28 days to mature so it is best to plant them before the season they bloom. Fruit trees will produce 1
fruit each day it is in season after becoming fully grown and will accumulate up to 3 fruit between harvests. They do
not require water or tilled soil and will not die in Winter. To plant and grow, they require a clear 3x3 space. Can also
be grown inside the Greenhouse which will produce fruit year-round, no matter the season. As they age, higher
quality fruit can be harvested, up to gold quality (as of update 1.07).
The potential profit of fruit trees are quite high. While the individual fruit is not worth much and you will take a
loss the first season selling fruit individually, making Jam (in Preserves Jar) or Fruit Juice (in Kegs) can make these
little fruits worth a whole lot more. Fruit trees can be a worthwhile investment if crafted into Artisan Goods.
Fruit Tree Saplings are sold year-round at Pierres Shop, but may also be purchased occasionally at the Traveling
Merchant, sometimes at a reduced price, sometimes at an inflated price.
1. Purchased from the Traveling Merchant for 400 - 700 gold. Rarely stocked.
2. By donating an Ancient Seed artifact to Gunther at the Museum, you will be rewarded with 1 seed pack and
the crafting recipe for Ancient Seeds. The Ancient Seed Artifact can be found by digging worms in the
Forest or Mountains, or by fishing in a treasure chest.
3. Crafting (see line 2).
4. Placing Ancient Fruit into the Seed Maker, yields 1 - 3 seeds.
5. Placing any crop into the Seed Maker, 0.5% chance of yielding an Ancient Seed.
Ancient Fruit Seeds can be planted in Spring, Summer, or Fall. Due to their long grow time of 28 days, it is best to
plant them on the 1st day of Spring, or use some sort of Speed-Gro Fertilizer before planting, or plant them in the
Greenhouse to prevent them from dying at the end of Fall. They can be grown and harvested year-round inside
the Greenhouse.
Ancient Fruit can be very profitable, especially if turned into Artisan Goods, such as Ancient Fruit Wine (using a Keg)
or Ancient Fruit Jelly (using a Preserves Jar).
Rare Seeds can be planted in Fall. Due to their long grow time of 28 days, it is best to plant them on the 1st day of
Fall, or use some sort of Speed-Gro Fertilizer before planting, or plant them in the Greenhouse to prevent them from
dying at the end of Fall. They can be grown and harvested year-round inside the Greenhouse.
Mixed Seeds
A special seed that can be planted during any season, except Winter, to produce a random crop from that
season. Can be obtained from cutting grass with a Scythe, digging up worms with a Hoe, or by placing any
crop inside the Seed Maker (2% chance of Mixed Seeds).
Wild Seeds
Wild Seeds come in four varieties Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter. They can be crafted out of foragables,
once you reach the appropriate level (Spring level 1, Summer level 4, Fall level 6, Winter level 7). When crafted
they produce 10 seed packets. When planted, they produce random variety of that seasons foragables. Takes
7 days to grow. Wild Seeds Winter are the only crop that can be grown outdoors in Winter.

Give Gifts
Be sure to give gifts early and often. I like to carry around a
stack of blueberries and give them to anyone I see. Mostly
because they are generally liked by most villagers and they
are plentiful. Be mindful of villagers reactions to gifts though,
each villager has unique likes and dislikes. And it is best
to give them something they love (worth 80 points) or like
(worth 45 points). If they really love something, a little heart
will appear above their head when they receive the gift
and they will tell you how much they like it. This is fantastical
good and will boost your heart rating much more quickly.
Be Conversational
Engage in conversation with villagers, sometimes they will fantastical tip

single men
These are the bachelors of Stardew Valley, if you achieve 10 hearts with any of them you can choose to marry them and
they will move in with you. Lets meet the bachelors!
Alex
An avid sports enthusiant who plays Gridball, hangs out on the beach, and works at the ice-cream
stand in Pelican Town in the Summer. While Alex may appear cocky at first and the sterotypical jock,
he actually may be hiding some internal feelings related to his family. He can often be seen hanging
around Haley. He lives with his grandparents, Evelyn and George, just to the East of Pierres Shop,
and has a dog who is kept outside in the dog house.
Elliott
Lives on the beach in a cabin where he spends most his time writing. He is an aspiring novelist
and a romantic looking for inspiration, could it be you? Elliott can be seen hanging around The
Stardrop Saloon on the occasional evening, on the beach near the firepit, in the library, or with
his friends, Leah and Willy. He also stays home frequently when it rains, it takes him a long time to
get his hair looking that way, you know. His cabin is locked until you receive two hearts with him.
Sam
Skateboards and making music are his hobbies. Sam plays guitar and drums and occasionally in-
vites his best friend Sebastian over for a jam session. He is a generally outgoing and friendly guy, he
plays pool at the Stardrop Saloon on some evenings. Sam also works part-time at Joja Mart and can
be found there on Mondays and Wednesdays. He is a bit stressed about his family life, his Dad Kent,
is away for long stretches do to his line of work. He lives in his families house on the southwest end of
Pelican Town with his mom Jodi, and younger brother Vincent. His Dad returns in Year 2.
Sebastian (Sebby)
A rebelious, young guy who likes to spend the majority of his time in his parents basement, tinkering
on his computer or hanging out with Sam. He also loves sci-fi novels and comic books. He appears to
be jealous of his half-sister, Maru, who he thinks gets all of the attention. He takes a bit to warm up to
and can seem unfriendly to people he doesnt know. It is important you get him to 2 hearts as soon
as possible, since he spends most his time in his room. He lives in the Mountains with his Mom Robin,
his Step-Dad Demetrius, and his half-sister Maru. His Mom calls him Sebby.
fantastical tip
Blue Chickens?!?
Thats right! I said blue chickens and you can have em!
After you finish the 8 Heart cutscene with Shane, you will
have the ability to acquire Blue Chickens for your farm. To
get a Blue Chicken, simply purchase a new chicken from
Marnies Ranch. Blue Chickens are very rare (1/4 chance)
so getting one can be tough. You may have to buy and sell
a lot of chickens before you get one. Lucky days seem to
increase your chances!
single Women
These are the bachelorettes of Stardew Valley, if you achieve 10 hearts with any of them you can choose to marry them
and they will move in with you. Lets meet the bachelorettes!
Abigail Abby
She is an alternative girl who loves to play video games, seeks the thrill of adventure, and plays vi-
olin in the rain for the mountain frogs. She generally doesnt get along with her mom Caroline, who
doesnt approve of the way she dresses. She also has a knack for finding Easter Eggs despite hating
them, and always wins the annual Egg Hunt (unless you find more than 9 eggs). She is friends with
Sam and Sebastian. Abigail lives with her mom Caroline and her dad Pierre at Pierres Shop in the
center of Pelican Town.
Haley
The stereotypical popular girl, conceited and self involved. She makes quick decisions about peo-
ple based on their looks and is generally rude to everyone until they get to know her. Once she
opens up to you, you may find that she is actual a nice person who loves photography, animals,
and the beach. Haley does not live the rain and will deviate from her regular schedule if it is raining
or snowing. She often hangs out with Alex and goes to the fountain regularly. She lives with her sister
Emily in the south end of town, west of the cemetary.
Leah
An outdoor enthusiast, she finds great joy in taking in the outdoors and foraging for a home cooked
meal. She is also an artist and makes sculptures but she is nervous about getting her work out there
for the world to see, and might need a little push from someone she trusts. She can often be found
in Cindersap Forest enjoying time by the lake, at the beach in the summer, or in the Stardrop Saloon
in the evenings. She lives in a small cottage, just south of Marnies Ranch which is locked until the
player reaches 2 hearts with her. She often doesnt leave her cottage till 10:00 AM.
Penny
A shy but warm soul, she spends most her free time looking after Jas and Vincent, teaching them in
the Library and taking them to play at the park. She has a big desire to start a family and she loves
to read under a shady tree in the summer and cook. She is friends with Maru and Alex. She seems
a bit embarrased by her mom Pam, who she thinks drinks too much and the fact that they live in a
trailer. Penny lives on the west shore of the river that runs through town in a trailer with her mom Pam.

Your Spouse has their own Style
Once you marry, your spouse will move into your house with
you. Next to each bachelor or bachelorette, you can see
their marriage room, which is the room that will be
added on to your house. Choose your spouse wisely if decor is
important to you. You cannot change your spouses rooms
flooring or wallpaper but you can add your own objects.
They also utilize the stone space above your mailbox.

How to Speak with the Dwarf
To access the Dwarf you need to break the stone blocking
the path inside the mines, directly to your right, using a
Steel Axe or a Cherry Bomb. You can only communicate
with the Dwarf once you find all 4 Dwarf Scrolls (one of
each color) and donate them to Gunther at the Museum.

4 Hearts, Her House
grandpa's evaluation
The evaulation Grandpa gives you is directly related to the number of candles lit around Grandpas Shrine at the beginning
of Year 3 (Spring, Day 1). The number of candles lit is based on a point system, and points are earned during the first two
years by reaching specific milestones. Milestones are worth points and there are a total of 21 points possible.
If you do not get all four candles lit right away, dont be discouraged. You can have Grandpa re-evaluate you at any time by
placing a Diamond in his Shrine. Grandpa will then appear the following day, when the game loads, or in some cases, the first
day of the next season.
Spouses will offer assistance on the farm, such as repairing fences, feeding animals, watering crops,
or filling your pets water bowl. They may also make you breakfast, providing you with an Omelet,
Hashbrowns, Pancakes, etc. If they are happy enough, you may also be able to start a family by
having kids - or by adoption if in a same-sex marriage. Watch my video How to get Married.
It is impossible to get a single villager past 8 hearts unless you give them the bouquet. It is possible to gift all the single
villagers bouquets in order to get them all to 10 hearts before proceeding to the next step of marriage, which would
allow you to see all possible 10 heart cut scenes. Once you are married, gifting a bouquet to a villager besides your
spouse, will have negative effects on your heart rating with your spouse.
After the wedding ceremony, the player and their Spouse will appear on their front porch at 6:00 AM. If you go inside
your house, you will see their marriage room has been added on to your house and is themed based on their likes.
There is also a new outdoor space, above your mailbox for your spouse based on their hobbies.
After the divorce, the spouse will move back to their old home,
and will have negative interactions with the player due to their
failed marriage. Players can reverse this negativity from their ex by
using one of the Shrines in the Witch Hut to erase their ex-spouses
memory, as if the marriage and divorce never happened. Should
one choose, they could even date and re-marry their ex.
Any children from the marriage will stay at the farmhouse unless
you opt to turn them into doves using the Witch Hut shrine. This will
remove the children permanently.
You can increase your heart rating with your spouse through
gifts, as usual. However, you are no longer restricted to two
gifts per week with your spouse, but you can only gift them
once per day.
spouse chores
If your spouse is kept happy, they will help out around the
farm by doing chores. They may repair all of the broken
fences, water crops during Spring, Summer, and Fall, feed
the animals, and fill your pets water bowl. The may also Your chance of your spouse asking if you want to have

baby to not arrive.
For the first 14 days after your child is born, they will remain
sleeping in the crib. After this, they will stand in the crib
and you can interact with them for the next 14 days. Next,
your baby will crawl around the house and play with toys
during the day for 14 days. Finally, the baby will become a
toddler (the current, final stage of kids) and begin sleeping
in one of the beds in the nursery. This will free up the crib
for a second child which can now be born. You can only
have two kids. You can get 10 hearts with your children.
On the day of the festival, a pop-up will appear in your bottom left corner of your screen, saying the
festival has begun. You will need to remember when the festival ends, so you can be sure to arrive
before then if you want to attend. When you are at a festival, time does not appear to be a factor.
You can stay as long as youd like so feel free to explore, but you typically return home to your farm
well into the evening, usually around 10:00 PM, no matter the time the festival was scheduled to end.
Festivals are a great chance to talk to ALL the villagers, as they always attend. This can help boost your
friendship rating simply by chatting with everyone while you are at the festival. Some festivals have
events you can participate in, others may require you bring something, and some have shops you can
buy special items from, including Rarecrows, so be sure to bring some gold!
It should also be noted that on festival days, you are not able to enter the area the festival will be held
until it starts. Some villagers will also differ from their regular schedules on these days, for instance, Robin
the Carpenter will not work on your farm buildings on festival days. Plan accordingly!

Flowers, Tub o Flowers crafting recipe, and Rarecrow #5 (my personal favorite).
The Governor is attending the event and Mayor Lewis will ask you to bring an ingredient to
put into the Soup. Once you place your ingredient into the soup cauldron, talk to Mayor
Lewis. The Governor will taste the soup and react to its quality. This reaction from the Governor
may either positively or negatively effect your heart rating with all of the villagers. I have
had positive reactions with Truffle and Truffle Oil. Not all items can be added to the soup.
During the festival, there isnt much to do other than admire the beautiful Jellies. You can
talk to all the villagers and when you are ready, you can talk to Mayor Lewis to start the
event. Note, once you talk to Mayor Lewis, you are triggering the event to end and will not
be able to return.

Stardew Valley Fair
Fall, Day 16 | Pelican Town
You can enter the festival in Pelican Town between 9:00 AM - 3:00 PM. When you decide to
leave, you will be returned to your doorstep at 10:00 PM.
This is probably the most interesting festival as there are many things to do here and a
Stardrop is up for grabs, which permanently increases your Energy Bar. You can play a
variety of mini-games to earn Star Tokens. Star Tokens can be redeemed at the booth at
the entrance of the festival in exchange for prizes. You can exchange your tokens for Dried
Sunflowers (decorative), Fedora (hat), Rarecrow #1, and a Stardrop.
The festival also features the Grange Display contest. Mayor Lewis has asked you bring 9
items to the Fair to be judged. In order to win, you need 90 points and if you win, you will
receive 1,000 Star Tokens. You get 14 points automatically and each unique item add 5
points (i.e. Vegetable, Fish, Fruit, Artisan Goods, etc.). You also want to bring gold quality
items, each gold quality item will add 3 points. Silver is 2 points, regular is 1 point. If you bring
a variety of gold quality items with a minimum sell value of 400 gold, you can receive the
max number of points per item, which is 8 points. Here is a sample of items you could bring
to win 1st prize (all items are gold quality); Dorado, Mayonnaise, Truffle, Pumpkin, Ancient
Fruit, Blue Jazz, Rainbow Shell, Leek, and a Star Fruit. You will be competing against Marnie,
Pierre, and Willy. Watch my video Grange Display, How to Win 1st Prize.
There are six mini-games you can choose to play to earn Star Tokens. Most cost gold to
participate, although the Smashing Stone is free to play. Booths include the Fishing Mini-
Game, Slingshot Mini-Game, Smashing Stone, Token Seller, Clairvoyant Booth, and the
Spinning Wheel. Winning will reward you with varying amounts of tokens based on your
performance or choices. Or you can just buy tokens for 50 gold each at the Token Seller.
The player can journey into the Haunted Maze during the festival north of Pierres Shop. If
you can find your way through the maze to the secret chest, you will be rewarded with a
Golden Pumpkin. While it is not used for anything, it is valuable and can be sold for 2,500
gold. Watch my video How to open the Chest in the Haunted Maze.
Pierre will have a shop set-up during Spirits Eve. He sells Jack-O-Lantern, Jack-O-Lantern
crafting recipe, and Rarecrow #2.

Festival of Ice
Winter, Day 8 | Cindersap Forest
You can enter the festival in Cindersap Forest between 9:00 AM - 2:00 PM. When you de-
cide to leave, you will be returned to your doorstep at 10:00 PM.
At the festival you will see the Villagers working on igloos and building snowmen. If you talk
to Penny, you can help decide what her and Jas snowman will look like. The festival hosts
an Ice Fishing Competition. To start the event, talk to Mayor Lewis. Note, once you decide
to start the fishing competition, you will no longer be able to explore the festival. Watch my
video How to Win the Ice Fishing Competition. To win, you will need to catch at least 5 fish
and you will be competing against Pam, Willy, and Elliott. If you win, you will receive three
Tackles and a Sailors Cap (hat). If you have already won during a previous year, you will
be rewarded with gold.
The Feast of the Winter Star is an event similar to a Secret Santa gift exchange. You are
assigned a person to give a gift to, Mayor Lewis will send a letter to your mailbox telling you
who your assigned person is on Day 18, so youll have plenty of time to prepare a gift for
them. Likewise, someone will be assigned you. Be sure to bring your gift to the event, locate
the person you were assigned to and give them their gift. After you give your gift, a cut-
scene will start and the villager who was assigned you, will arrive with a package. You will
open your gift and receive an item, or multiples of that item. The gift you receive it based
on that Villagers loves, for instance, Marnie will give you a dozen Eggs while Vincent will give
you Pink Cake.
If you talk to Willy while at the event, he will tell you a story of a mysterious Stardrop. Require-
ments for this Stardrop, or if it even exists, are still unknown. You can also talk to Gus and he
will tell you a long winded story about how he hand crafts candy canes. You can talk to all
the Villagers at the festival, but Willy and Gus are the stand-outs.

Building Cost: 100 Gold, 100 Stone, 10 Clay, 5 Copper Bars
Before you build any of the animal farm buildings, I recommend build-
ing a Silo. Once built, a silo will allow you to cut grass with a Scythe for
Hay, which is automatically stored in the Silo. You can pull Hay from the
Silo or from inside the Coop or Barn at the Feeder, to feed your animals.
Each Silo holds up to 240 pieces of Hay. You can also buy Hay from
Marnie if you need to. If you click on your Silo, you can see how much
Hay you have in stock. Be sure to stock up before Winter!
Well
Building Cost: 1,000 Gold, 75 Stone
Wells can be built to provide an alternate water source to fill your
watering can. They also look pretty as farm decorations whether you
need water or not.
stable
Building Cost: 10,000 Gold, 100 Hardwood, 5 Iron Bars
The Stable is a place to house your Horse. And the Stable comes with
a Horse, of course! It is best to build your stable somewhere close to a
exit on the farm for easy access. Either the North end, Northeast end,
or South end. As long as you dont demolish your Stable, your horse will
always return home the next morning if you leave him somewhere.
shed
Building Cost: 15,000 gold & 300 Wood.
An empty building with an interior that can be decorated. Fill it with
anything youd like. Sheds are a very efficient use of space as they
only take up 21 squares on your farm but the interior is larger than 21
squares.

Decorating Ideas for the Inside of your Shed
The inside of your shed can be used for almost anything youd like. Personally, I like to group Artisan Goods and other
crafting stations into a themed Shed. This way, all the materials you need (i.e. Ore) and the crafting station(s) you need
(i.e. Furnace) are in one place, saving you precious time and valuable farm land.
Building Cost:

Get Free Stuff from the Train
The train can randomly pass through Stardew Valley. When
it does, a message pops up on your screen letting you know
A train is passing through town. The train can drop items
off its cars while it goes by, so head up to the Mountains
and go to the Railroad Station to snag a few free items. The
train often drops Coal, Stone and Geodes.
Christmas Train
When the Train passes through town in the Winter, go up for
a special Christmas Train, packed with gift boxes in every
car. Chances of good items dropping increase in Winter.
Fill the water troughs inside the Slime Hutch and Slimes will leave slime
balls. If you manage to get a male (ball on his head) and female (no
ball), they will breed making more slimes and it is the only time they
will leave slime balls, when both genders are present and can appear
daily. Different color slimes have different drops, for instance, purple
slimes will occasionally drop Iridium Ore or Bars when killed.
First, you need a Slime Egg Press (unlocked after Combat level 6)
and place 100 slime balls inside to make a Slime Egg. In one day,
the Slime Egg will output a Slime Egg (ir order of quality), Green and can cost more to get started than if the
(60% chance), Blue (25% chance), Red (10% chance) or Purple player were to purchase a Slime Hutch, it does
(5% chance). offer benefits. One, you dont forget about
checking in on your Slimes every day because
Next, you will need a Slime Incubator (unlocked after Combat level they are outside, so you can see what is going
8) which will hatch the Slime Egg into actual Slimes, the same color on. Two, you save 10,000 gold. And three, if
as the Slime Egg. you dont prefer the look of the Slime Hutch
on your farm, you dont have to have it on
While keeping a Slime farm outside does not produce as much your farm.

together at Pierres Shop during the day to exercise as a

Happier ducks have a higher chance of producing Large Duck Eggs. Ducks at
a full 5 hearts sell for 5,200 gold each. Eggs can be sold for 75 gold each,
although I recommend making them into Duck Mayonnaise while sells for 300
gold. Ducks may also drop Duck Feathers if they have a high enough heart rating.
You can interact with your ducks once a day to increase their heart rating.
Rabbits
Adult Rabbits will leave Wool daily inside the Deluxe Coop if fed, with no need
to shear them. Rabbits at a full 5 hearts sell for 10,400 gold each. Wool can be
sold for 270 gold each, although I recommend making it into Cloth on a Loom,
as Cloth sells for 375 gold. Rabbits may also drop Rabbits Foot if they have a high

Need more Earth Crystals?
If you want to keep up with your Chickens and Ducks making
Mayonnaise, you will need a lot of Mayonnaise Machines
which are unlocked at Farming Level 2.
Barn animals can also become pregnant, if allowed. If the option in enabled in their menu (when interacting with the
animal), a random pregnancy can occur. If an animal becomes pregnant, a message will pop-up at night telling you
they gave birth. The game will then prompt you to choose a name for the baby animal. While you need room in your
Barn for the new animal, you do NOT need two of one type of animal (i.e. two cows) to have a baby animal. Pregnancy
requires the Big Barn.
Cows
Adult Cows can be milked every day if fed. Happier cows may produce quality
items, such as Large Milk. The color of your cow is random and does not effect
their milk. If you want a different color, you can sell the cow and buy another.
Cows at a full 5 hearts sell for 1,950 gold each. Milk can be sold for between
100 - 150 gold each, although I recommend making them into Cheese which
sells for 160 - 240 gold.

quality items, such as Large Goat Milk. Goats become sad if you leave the barn
door open at night. Goats at a full 5 hearts sell for 5,200 gold each. Goat Milk

Adult Sheep can be sheered every other day if fed using Shears. Happier sheep
can be sheared more often. Sheep at a full 5 hearts sell for 10,400 gold each.

on a Loom, as Cloth sells for 375 gold.
You can interact with your sheep once a day to increase their heart rating.
Pigs
Adult Pigs will automatically find Truffles if allowed outside. During Winter, Pigs
will not find Truffles, as they will not go outside. Winter is a great time to buy Pigs
so they are adults come Spring. Pigs at a full 5 hearts sell for 20,528 gold each.
Truffles can be sold for 500 - 750 gold each, although I recommend making
them into Truffle Oil using the Oil Maker, as Truffle Oil sells for 850 gold. The Oil
Maker is available at Farming Level 8.
You can interact with your pigs once a day to increase their heart rating.
When you reach 25,000 gold total earnings, Demetrius will come by your
farm in the morning. He will tell you he has been doing some research and
noticed your small cave on your farm. Hell then ask if he can continue his
research in your cave, and you can keep the items left inside. You have
two choices, the Mushroom Cave or Fruit Bats. The choice is permanent so
choice wisely based on your play style.
Your Spouse
Keep your spouse happy and get them
beyond 12 of 12 hearts, to 13 hearts and
they will give you a Stardrop as a token
of their love. You cant see this in the
regular friendship menu but it is possible.
