FAQs

What is the best thing to do in winter Stardew Valley? ›

Remodel the Farm and Upgrade Tools in Stardew Valley

Since the player does not have a lot of crops growing, that makes winter the perfect time to do some remodeling. That can mean reshaping crop plots, upgrading pre-existing structures, constructing new buildings, or just adding new decorations around the farm.

There are no plantable crops in Winter with the exception of Winter Seeds and Fiber Seeds. An assortment of wild winter seeds. Plant these in any season. Does not require watering.

Starfruit is, in many ways, both the most iconic and most profitable crop in Stardew Valley. It sells for a massive 750g, twice its buying price of 400g from the Oasis Shop, which must be unlocked by completing the Vault Community Center bundle.

A heater has an effect on animal Mood (which is different than Friendship) during the Winter when an animal is inside a barn or coop past 6PM, and the animal has 150 mood or above. Only a single heater is required to have an effect, additional heaters provide no additional benefit.

Wine is the most valuable artisan good that players can make, as it is worth three times the value of the fruit that's placed in the keg to make it. Once the fruit has been turned into wine, it can be put into a cask, just like pale ale, and aged to increase its quality.

Mermaid Boat

The player may leave the boat anytime, but leaving will restart the show. After the show, clam shells inside the boat can be clicked to play musical notes. Playing the correct notes in the correct sequence will award the player a special item.

One of the biggest questions in Stardew Valley is whether there is actually an end to the game or not. And the answer is: there isn't one.

Sleep will restore the player's Energy and Health to full if they go to bed no later than midnight and are not exhausted, and to half if they pass out or are exhausted.

The lonely stone is not an area, but it has a location on the Stardew Valley map. Upon clicking the lonely stone on the map, a rock sound effect will play. After clicking on the lonely stone and around the time when the rock sound effect is played, the map screen will close entirely.

The single most profitable crop in the fall has to be sweet gem berries. Neither a fruit nor a vegetable, this mysterious crop grows from a rare seed worth 1,000g but can be sold for 3,000g. These seeds take 24 days, almost a whole month, to grow in-game.

Each coffee sold (150g each) is essentially selling the beans at 30g apiece (equal to the iridium star price), regardless of the quality level of the source beans. Using Iridium-star Coffee Beans to brew coffee is not profitable, because the price of 5 Iridium beans (30g each) is equal to 1 Coffee (150g each).

Do cows allow pregnancy Stardew? ›

Barn animals may become pregnant at random if the pregnancy option is enabled on their status menu. This is opened by interacting with the animal after petting it. An icon to the right of the menu can be toggled to allow pregnancy for that animal.

Cows, like pigs, sheep, and goats, have a low chance to reproduce and can produce baby cows. The more animals there are inside the same barn, the higher the chance an animal will give birth. There is no indication that a cow is pregnant except the morning after the baby cow has been born.

Cows will become pregnant by themselves without any action by the player. During the night, the player will receive a notice that their animal gave birth. To prevent pregnancy, it can be disabled through the animal information screen (which also shows heart level).

They won't go outside during the winter, even if it's not snowing, so unless you want to chance them getting eaten by wolves, I'd say keep the doors closed.
