Stardew Valley is a popular farming simulation game, developed and released by Eric Baron. It offers players to take on the role of a character who inherits a small farm in a colorful town. There, gamers can enjoy the routine of agriculture, including cultivating land, growing various crops, breeding animals, as well as mining, and much more.
And it's important to note that the game doesn't have the ability to drop items using hotkeys as in other games to quickly share items with other players. But don't worry, this article will show how to drop items in Stardew Valley.
How to Drop Items
Below, readers will find information on how to drop items on different devices:
PC
If gamers need to throw away items from their inventory on PC, they need to select the item they want to drop and move it outside the inventory.
Console
In this case, it will be a little more difficult for users because they will have to go to the settings. So first, open the inventory and go to the Options tab. Remove the cross from the Use Controller-Style Menus setting. After that, users will be able to move the cursor freely through the menu and move the desired item out of the inventory and drop it.
Mobile
In order to drop items on the mobile version of the game, simply go to the inventory, select the item, and move it to the lower right corner of the inventory. Also, in the mobile version, players can drop tools, which can be useful when one of the gamers runs out of energy.
Why Drop Items in Stardew Valley?
Dropping items from the inventory can have quite a few uses:
- If a user wants to release a fish back into the water.
- If there is not enough space in the inventory, a fan can drop items on the ground and return them later.
- But perhaps most often, players drop items when they want to give it to another user.
In any case, there are a few things to know about dropping items:
- Magnet zone that attracts dropped items is quite large, and as soon as a fan drops an item, he or she should immediately run in the other direction so that the item does not appear again in the inventory, or otherwise just fill the inventory with items of a different type.
- Items that were dropped are saved for no longer than 1–2 days, after which they simply disappear.
- For some reason, tools on PC and Console versions cannot be dropped.
Stardew Valley is available on Mobile, Nintendo Switch, PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation Vita, and Xbox One.
