Stardew Valley is a simulation RPG where players move to the countryside and begin a new life on the Farm with a few coins in their pockets and some hand-me-down tools. As the game progresses, players learn how to live off the land with skills such as mining, fishing, and cultivating crops. Besides that, Stardew Valley also allows players to master cooking and crafting items from scratch.
These items are stored in the Inventory. The Inventory in Stardew Valley essentially acts as the player’s backpack. It allows them to store and carry items with them as they travel around the Valley. Players don’t need access to all sorts of forageables, stone, wood, and fish when they’re just running about – not to mention the ores and geodes collected in the Mines. But what happens when players create too many things, and their inventories are filled up? To store extra items, cooked foods, and other Artisan goods, players can create Wood 
Chest .
How to Craft a Wood Chest
The easiest way to store all the items in one place is by creating a Wood Chest. Players can color-grade their Chests and organize items according to their preferences. The only requirement to craft a wooden Chest is 50 pieces of Wood. Players can either cut down trees or collect wood around their farm using their axes. Chopping down on trees gives 10 pieces of wood at a time.
- Once a player has 50 Wood pieces in their backpack, they should press the “E” key and open the in-game Main Menu.
- Select the Craft Menu, denoted by the Hammer icon.
- Select the Chest from the available options.
A Chest will be crafted and stored in the player’s Inventory.
How to Move Chests
There are different ways to move Chests – depending on whether they’re Empty or Loaded.
- If the Chest is empty, players can simply hit it with a pickaxe, a hoe, or an axe. This will remove the Chest from the floor, and it can be stored in the Inventory – ready to be placed elsewhere.
- If the Chest is loaded, it can’t be moved the same way as an empty one. To move loaded chests, players need to unequip any tools and repeatedly hit the chest about 10 times. This will move the chest one square forward in whichever direction the player is hitting it.
Stardew Valley is available now for Android, iOS, PC, PS4, Switch, and Xbox One.
