Details you STILL Didn't Know about Stardew Valley

This is probably the last video in this style I'll make. After digging deep, here's just a few more cool details that could help you out, or just go unseen by most people! I've also been thinking about making a master video of ALL of the tips, secrets, and details that I've compiled up to this point, since there's like 200 of them.

[@jojoslameerrand9305]

I'm pretty sure the reason the first golden walnut doesn't count is because you feed it to Leo's bird friend. It's kinda like a tutorial quest item

[@Fokeno]

That's the one yeah

[@CrazyIvan865]

Yeah that's what I was thinking. It requires 100 golden walnuts to enter. But you gave 1 to the bird. So you've found 100 but only hold 99 in your possession to serve as proof at the door.

[@mirjanbouma]

Oh that makes sense.

[@drzeworyj]

@@CrazyIvan865 you don't hold anything in possession. you keep giving it to birds to trade them for services.

[@vampiregodace]

Close. It doesn't count that GW because it is given to you as per you said tutorial. You have to find all 100

[@thatsaladprophet7051]

Something I just learned is that if you get a secret note that shows a characters favorite gifts, it actually updates the gift log to show what they like

[@DementiaPlayzz]

or if someone mentions it in dialogue

[@blairdactyl]

​@@DementiaPlayzzdialogue mentions never update it for me, which is strange

[@davidci]

That casino bouncer is a real one, blowing up Sandy's shop just to make sure the player doesn't get past him at all

[@Severina_x]

I never realized that there are tips in the starting screen

[@PosaYT]

yeah, thats a pretty bad spot to put them. i always spammed ape's avatar there from the very beginning. also spammed left and right mouse button to mass buy items and felt stupid when i saw a streamer buying them quickly somehow (after my full playthrough). also i didnt know you can like grab half of your wood and other items . . . so yeah, he should make those tips more visible lol.

[@alvinreinaldy5148]

The "no seed before foraging lv1" really just implies you're so bad at foraging that you managed to shook the tree wrong

[@Happyworldshark]

True 💀

[@ordanimason9703]

When it comes to the bouncer, sadly it's not just because you went out of bounds to do it. Stardew has a failsafe for if a person is blocking your path. Two, really. First, if you block their walking path long enough they'll get annoyed and just clip through you (or break whatever is in their way.) But second, if you keep pushing against someone, eventually the collision will disable and allow you to walk through. This was the intended way to trigger that easter egg. Push against the bouncer for a little and you walk through him, fade to black, and he drops the bomb.

[@MoleculesAndMinecraft]

I dunno. I've tried walking against him and he just says, "Nice try"- or I assume that's what he says; some it is blocked by the stuff in the top right of my screen- but maybe I just haven't tried long enough.

[@64bitMike]

Multi-player mines actually resets after 10 minutes (next tik on the clock) on the in-game clock with no one in the mines

[@salmence100]

Ah darn, I didn't even think to check for a longer time frame

[@SimuLord]

I knew about the fish multipliers thanks to running across a chart on SeanieDew's recent video where he watched, as awestruck as everyone else, as BlaDe went from level 0 to level 10 in both fishing and combat in a single day for each skill, something Sean himself had been unable to do. I love Stardew KZbin. I'm an "advanced casual" player with almost 600 hours in the game, but the things the people who make videos discover are _amazing_ to me.

[@slwrabbits]

BlaDe sort of redefines what it means to play a game.

[@SavageDarknessGames]

@@slwrabbits hes the spiffingbrit of sdv!

[@SuperCatPrincess]

In terms of luck buffs you also forgot the Luck Ring which gives +1 when worn (obtained from panning)

[@FernandoRafaelNogueiraReis]

Right, and you can use two. Should've e watched Panning With Poxial.

[@SavageDarknessGames]

@@FernandoRafaelNogueiraReis yup and with ginger island forge you can merge those two lucky rings with other rings to have 4 ring buffs active at once.

[@FernandoRafaelNogueiraReis]

@@SavageDarknessGames Right, but IIRC you can't stack four Lucky Rings, can you?

[@mirjanbouma]

​@@FernandoRafaelNogueiraReis correct, you can't combine 2 lucky rings with each other. I tried it earlier this week.

[@FernandoRafaelNogueiraReis]

@@mirjanbouma Thanks, it's been a while but I remember not being able to stack 4 Iridium Bands.

[@28pinkdancer]

i knew about the geode crusher and the void mayo but only because im obsessed with the wiki. on that note, im floored by lewis not wearing the purple shorts, because i remember reading that too! lastly, im so sad about the future mushroom update

[@a_peanut4320]

The mines do change in Co-op, you will have to wait 10min to re enter when no one is in. It might also be depended on the fact if 2 or more players have entered the mines that day. Source: Been playing coop lately and grinded mining lv 10 and dust sprites, so resetting mines helped.

[@AnInnocuousBlueCube]

You also all need to leave the mine to let it reset. My young daughter and I use this to grind for murder, err.... Monster Slayer goals.

[@klutterkicker]

Speaking of Yoba on the thumbnail, Caroline said something interesting the other day. Pierre's family aren't devout. The shrine in their house was there when they moved in.

[@dwell7315]

I love Abigail's line on Sundays (assuming this is in vanilla and not a modded line of dialogue): "We're in here hiding from everyone." Which to be fair, if I had a place of worship attached to my house/my dad's store, I would also hide in my room while people came over for religious purposes, so I relate

[@ihadastrokereadingthis]

fun fact: for early game/later game, if u need mixed seeds, look for the swirled fibre. in the summer, this shows up with a pink centre i believe. this has a 100% chance of dropping mixed seeds.

[@elliottmanning9376]

Only for forest farm😊

[@ihadastrokereadingthis]

[@theannilators7479]

Knew most of these, also the wiki claims that you need to give mayor Lewis the TAILORED purple shorts

[@dh.151]

You can get these by putting a staircase in your pants spot!! It might be removed in 1.6 so if anyone still has 1.5 do it before u update !!

[@dwell7315]

@@dh.151 you can still get them in 1.6 by putting a staircase in Lewis's house, you'll just have to go through a maze and get out before the shorts kill you (not a joke)

[@ashleyross554]

I think you’re the only stardew creator I still learn from after playing hundreds of hours! Amazing work man

[@sovietbot6708]

Lucky rings also increase luck, and they stack

[@salmence100]

Ah I completely forgot about them! They would essentially add 2 skill points, which is a 16% buff, so the final multiplier would be 1.97x!

[@gaylord92839]

Part of me knew that in 1.6 the mushroom cave was going to be redone to not be as op, but it's still gonna be a hard blow for people who rely on it for money lol

[@samlewis6487]

There's a simple solution! Pick the fruit bat cave instead! It's way better.

[@derektroutman4793]

Just as a note, the geode crusher 'off by one' exploit has been patched as of 1.6.3, so it will no longer give you the same item you got from Clint. They now no longer require coal.

[@mattd824]

Ok good to know! Thanks dude

[@lumiepop5049]

The fact that i knew over half of these is... Impressive bc these are pretty damn obscure. I've been obsessed with Stardew for years, even digging through the source files and everything. Still super enjoyed this video!

[@bunnylexy2625]

Ok I’m not crazy! The mushroom caves used to spawn mushrooms like every 2 days ish the last time I played (around last year) and I started a new file last week and got the mushrooms spawning every day now and I was wondering why!

[@Mr.Derp8finity]

I already knew about the tree seeds and coconuts one lol (From sdv low%) I also knew about the bouncer. (From my own experience) AAAND I already knew about the slot machine being in your favor and affected by luck.

[@farmerash]

From playing with the Stardew Valley Expanded mod, I already knew that you could get such a big luck boost that it became impossible to lose at all in the slot machine.

[@stirlingclark5430]

4:45 the mines don't stay the same all day, they reset if there's nobody in the mines and the clock turns over to the next 10-minute interval

[@christineskall]

I've some other things, that most players may not know. When holding down to till/water multiple spaces with the hoe/watering can, the colour of the sparkels will match the metal that was used to unlock that "level", so when you till a 1x5 the sparkles are the same colour as iron. Holding down shift when making or buying some items, will allow you to buy 5 at once. With stuff like hay, wood, seeds ect. you can hold shift and rightclick in order to buy a lot of ressourcers very fast. On pc, you can cast slightly to the left or right, by using the left or right arrow keys on the keyboard. Once you've reached perfection, a new kind of witch can come by, they wear golden and blue colours and will drop off golden eggs. If you teleport to the desert and take the bus home, you can see yourself driving the bus instead of Pam. If you have the key to the town, some shopkeepers will be tending their shops before opening/closing hours, especially Clint and Marnie. You can also shop if the shopkeepers are not tending their shop, but are walking closeby. So you can shop at Robins on tuesdays when she leaves for aerobics and comes back home at around 9:30 am and 06:00 pm. Maru has the most loved items at 16, including the universal loves.

[@meh8982]

You can buy 25 items at once by holding down Shift + CTL.

[@DementiaPlayzz]

shift + control to buy 25 at once

[@ajbgamerpro9786]

Wow an amazing video as always. The junimos having so many colours was a mystery to me because I always either have no gem in or a prismatic shard. Getting to level 4 fishing from 0 is absolutely mind blowing but impossible because you can't reach out that far :( . But my favourite thing is the stardrop above grandpa's shrine, it just looks so cute. (Ps. If you get perfection before the shrine cutscene does it appear in it or not?).

[@ajbgamerpro9786]

Also in the chapters it says Copper axe when you talk about the copper pickaxe?

[@salmence100]

Ah thanks, I fixed it! And yeah, I thought there were just like 5 colors and then prismatic, I definitely didn't expect so many.

[@OliviaRossini11]

Ok you finally got me with the one about the Junino hut I’ve never had one so I didn’t even know you could put gems in it!

[@taliaghoul]

I knew the fishing one, the junimo colors one, the geode crusher one, and because I watched your imperfection run, I knew the walnut room door one. 😁

[@anamaleth_ad]

I have a feeling that your imperfection run may or may not be the reason for to the first fact being in this video xD anyway - awesome video! great combination of trivia, tidbits from the code and easy to miss design details! also, I love the way you edit these - the music and narration make them so nice to listen to :] (and I might be obligated to yell at you for already having known some of these? my brain is full of semi-obscure stardew trivia, though, so I'll just pretend I didn't)

[@Lauren-hg3ps]

I knew the stone stardrop at Grandpa's shrine, only because I was so happy the first time i got perfection that i sat and looked at the shrine for like a full minute when i did it.

[@starfirevalley]

I've actually never got perfection

[@heartlessfox420]

Keep up the great work and consistent uploads. Always love to see your vids

[@meh8982]

I knew some of these. I always plant grass starters just before spring. Exploit the geode crusher sometimes. I found out about fishing out the void mayo purely by accident :D I heard about the reduction in mushroom cave filling, too bad! And about the bouncer bomb. I always buff luck as much as possible before going to the casino to get that miserable scarecrow, but it's really not necessary to go as far as Qi seasoning and magic rock candy. You will still win, just takes a bit longer. Didn't know about the mines in multiplayer though, that's good information! (Edit: Turns out it's not such good information haha)

[@carpinari]

I love your content so much! that was one of the most interesting and unique stardew videos that I've watched, there are really secret detailes! thank you

[@_polyy]

heard about the geode crusher trick 3 times by now but its always a good thing to know

[@lolzasouruhm179]

I’ve played through Stardew 3 times before 1.5 and 2 times after now but never gone for 100% but watching your vids has encouraged me to go for it

[@FilthyGorilla44]

I Actually didn’t know all of these as quite a few of them are outright wrong or just need a little context. 1. Quality also factors into fishing xp so you’ll need to catch an iridium legend to get that load of fishing xp. You’ll be catching it as a perfect and most of the fishing areas make it’s initial quality gold but it’s possible to have an initial quality lower than gold. 2. The gems are also part of the junimo colour list, not just geode minerals. 3. The mines does reset in multiplayer if no player is in them, you just have to wait for a tick to pass (clock to advance by 10 minutes). 4. Iridium and gold pickaxes take way more than 2 hits to break an iridium node, iridium pick alone takes 4 hits or 3 with powerful. 5. You just completely forgot luck rings for The Casino “tip”. Hope this helps clear any confusion some experienced and knowledgeable players had when watching this.

[@alexion3007]

Perfect doesn't raise the quality for that base rate, you would need the quality bobber.

[@FilthyGorilla44]

@@alexion3007 yeah it does, you don’t need a quality bobber to get an iridium legend for example.

[@alexion3007]

@@FilthyGorilla44 You can get an iridium legend but it doesn't give the experience points of an iridium quality fish. You would get gold quality fish xp + perfect boost. You need the quality bobber to get the iridium quality fish xp

[@Quintingent]

Ah, I AMOST knew all of these. The only ones I was unaware of (disregarding the inaccuracy of the multiplayer mines point) were the stardrop above Grandpa's shrine, and the stuff relating to the Greenlight page. So close!

[@Lilablutz]

I just read about Louis in ginger island and was gonna try it in my current play through

[@demonicmerma1d22]

The reset on the next 10min tick in multiplayer mines also works in singleplayer, if you eg go from 45 directly to 40 via the elevator(not going to floor 0, that instant resets the mines) and wait for the tick, everything below you will reset

[@juminhan5711]

When you restart the game via 'return to desktop' right after you died (in the mines), when you restart the game, the icon of concernedape shows a dying expression for a second, accompanied by a dying sound.. I encountered this when i died for the first time while being married and Sebastian said that he cried finding me and i felt so bad that i restarted and then THAT happened and i was super creeped out, reminded me of flowey saying 'I know what you did' 😢
