One Stardew Valley player has showcased how they used the forest layout to build a highly productive and profitable farm while only in their seventh year in-game. This is quite an impressive accomplishment, given the limited wide-open spaces that this particular farm layout in Stardew Valley has. However, fellow players can probably get a few ideas on how to design their own forest farms from this fan's setup.
The game's developer, Eric Barone or ConcernedApe, has recently been stirring up online excitement over news about both his projects. A new scene from his upcoming title Haunted Chocolatier was just posted on social media, while Stardew Valley fans likely rejoiced over the newly announced cookbook and re-release of the themed board game. What's more, while Barone may seem to be more focused on Haunted Chocolatier's development, the 1.6 update for Stardew Valley is also in the works. So, gamers have a lot to look forward to, especially if they are a part of the farming RPG's fan base.
On Reddit, user OfTheLandOfTheLake posted an image that showed off their incredible Stardew Valley forest farm layout. According to the Redditor, they are in Year 7 of their playthrough and have heavily utilized this particular layout to make a lot of profit on their farm. The player seems to have used most of the open spaces to plant fruits and trees, while the smaller pockets have Deluxe Barns filled with truffle-hunting pigs. They also have several Fish Ponds that they called "caviar pools," which likely means they are full of Roe-producing Sturgeon. However, even if the whole layout focuses on turning a profit, the design still complements the forest farm's overall aesthetic.
According to OfTheLandOfTheLake, they plan to revamp their Stardew Valley farm once they reach winter in this playthrough. Other players on the thread wanted to know more about their design and process, especially how they were able to place their Mushroom Trees on their desired spots and how they feed their pigs. Without any spoilers, the Redditor generously offered a lot of advice regarding the Mushroom Trees and shared that they place natural grass to feed their pigs, but also feed them Hay that they purchase from Marnie.
Overall, OfTheLandOfTheLake's Stardew Valley forest farm layout is not only aesthetically pleasing, but is also a great way to make money in the farming RPG. Given how challenging it can be to build up funds in Stardew Valley, other players can probably emulate what this fan did with their own forest farms.
Stardew Valley is available now on Android, iOS, PC, PS4, Switch, and Xbox One.
