Stardew Valley Multiplayer Cheats

[Martha Vanschaick]

Thisis purely a secret item, but one most players will never find without help. Secret Note #13 holds the clue to it, but all you really need to do is go to the bush on the northwest corner of Pelican Town on the 28th day of any season. If you right-click on it precisely at noon, you will get the rare plush.

Fishing is one of the hardest skills to level up to max in Stardew Valley only because of how long it takes. You will need to spend days trekking out to an appropriate spot, casting your line, waiting for bites, and then making it home in time for bed. What if there was a way to stop time while you fish to let you grind levels without wasting days on end? All you need is an active quest in your journal to perform this simple exploit. When you reach a fishing spot, open your journal as you cast your line into the water. We already know that time stops when you have your journal open, but for whatever reason, fish will still come and bite your line and let you catch them.

Stardew Valley is a game made by just one person, but it has seen more success than most games made by dozens, or even hundreds, of people. It's even one of Digital Trends' top 50 video games of all time. Since its release in 2016, the game has been updated regularly with new features and content to keep its avid fans coming back. This includes an online multiplayer component that allows you and up to three friends to hang out on each other's farms. And with the recent trend of games allowing players on different platforms to join together, you may wonder if Stardew Valley offers cross-platform functionality. Here's everything we know about cross-platform support in Stardew Valley.

Is Stardew Valley cross-platform?

Stardew Valley does not offer cross-platform support, meaning you can't play online multiplayer between any of the systems the game is on. So if you want to team up with some friends, make sure you all are playing on the same platform, such as the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, Nintendo Switch, or PC. Also be aware that whoever starts a multiplayer game is saving that shared world locally, meaning no one else can reenter that world without the host present.

The sad fact of the matter is there doesn't seem to be any indication that crossplay will come to Stardew Valley. The game's official Reddit still lists it as not being supported, and there was only one mention of it by the developer on Twitter back in 2018, when he responded to a question asking if crossplay would come to the game. He replied, "Unfortunately, there will not be crossplay. Apparently, the technical barriers are very high. It's still something I really want to add and I promise to look into it more closely, but first priority is getting the update out there." This was many years ago, and there has been no further information about cross-platform play since, so it seems very unlikely that we will see support for this functionality come to Stardew Valley.

Cheat codes have somewhat become a thing of the past in modern gaming, with mods coming in to take their place. Most Bethesda games, such as Starfield and Fallout 4, enjoy plenty of mod support, but also have plenty of ways that you can tweak the game using some old-fashioned cheats and console commands.

Even as big as Fallout 4 is, it has shown its age at this point, so why not try out a few cheats to keep things exciting in the wasteland? Here are all the cheats and console commands you can use, and how to activate them.

Private Division revealed a new game set in the Middle-earth universe called Tales of the Shire: A The Lord of the Rings Game. The title, developed by Wētā Workshop Game Studio, is a cozy life simulator set within the world of the books by J.R.R. Tolkien.

In 2022, No Rest for the Wicked publisher Private Division first teased that it was working on a game based on The Lord of the Rings with Wētā Workshop, the visual effects studio whose initial claim to fame was working on Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings film trilogy. Wētā Workshop has technically had a game studio since 2014, but Tales of the Shire will be its most significant release yet.

So, regardless of how you want to renovate your farm: the Stardew Valley modding community has your back. If you want to make a pastel flower paradise, scrap together a platoon of robots to tend your crops, switch over to anime character portraits, or you just want some reminders of when to plant a crop, this list is ready to be your guide. You can root around yourself on the Nexus Mods page or the Stardew Valley Mod forum, both of which get amazing new creations all the time.

Even without mods, Stardew Valley is definitely one of the best laptop games to pick for your low-spec machine. Don't forget one important thing to note though, before jumping in: Stardew Valley does still get updates. Since there isn't any official mod support, there's a good chance that mods will stop working or need a reinstall after updates.

It's smart to back-up any files you are going to modify in case you need to revert the changes. And back up your save data just to be safe. It can be found by default at C:\Users\[USERNAME]\AppData\Roaming\StardewValley\Saves.

Stardew Valley Expanded is one of the biggest Stardew mods out there and it really does feel like a proper Stardew Valley expansion. It adds tons of new characters with their own backstories and events. It adds new farm maps and tons of new in game locations too. Those are just the big changes. SDVE comes with plenty of smaller tweaks too and if any mod is worth starting Stardew over for, it's this one.

Automation is the future! If you want to add a little sci-fi styling to your sleepy farmdom, Farmtronics by Joe Strout grants you with your very own army of robots who can water crops, plants seeds, and just generally care for your farm while you're doing other stuff. To receive your first automaton in the mail, you'll have to complete the ToDo tasks on the Farmtronics Home Computer that'll be added to your TV. After that, you can purchase more bots from Pierre's Shop.

For those of us who really struggle to choose a farm type when starting a new farm, Farm Extended gives the standard farm benefits of all the specialty farms. The extended farm features dedicated areas for fishing, foraging, and mining as well as fenced areas designed to keep animals from escaping. Modder Forkmaster also added a minecart stop behind the farmhouse for quick travel to other parts of town directly from home.

Here's another excellent standard farm redesign, though this one is focused on being cute instead of efficient. This farm map has lots of designated crop fields in different sizes, a few ponds, and just a couple nooks for tucking buildings. It's definitely for the farmers who want a really lovely piece of land but aren't as worried about maximizing profits.

There are a ton of mods for expanding the greenhouse, most of which are excessively large. Ellie's redesign is very balanced and offers three different greenhouse redesigns, from the modest one above to a larger two room building. You can spruce up your greenhouse with simply a better laid out central plot and tree planting spaces or go for a large second orchard room.

The Animal Husbandry mod, formerly known as the Butcher Mod, allows you to turn your animal friends into their component meat parts. If you don't care for using the meat cleaver on your cute little hogs, modder Digus added a "softmode" that changes the cleaver into a Meat Wand that lets you "exchange your animals for meat that grows on trees on another dimension." It also adds a new animal contest event to participate in.

"Mayor Lewis has recently passed legislation allowing you to now grow cannabis on your farm!" says modder Paradigmnomad. Cannabis Kit adds a number of cannabis strains that can be bought from Harvey and Pierre during the summer and fall. Your mature cannabis plants can be crafted with original Stardew Valley artisan machines to produce products like hemp cloth and cannabis oil.

There are a ton of other mods by Paradigmnomad adding more recipes, crops, and items. There are slews of artisan goods and even trees that grow meat. They are no longer being updated, but appear to still be operational with Stardew Valley version 1.5.

This mod is for people who really do love cooking and want it to matter more in Stardew Valley. It adds new recipes, a search function, and the ability to toggle using high-quality ingredients. It even changes healing so that eating foods heals over time instead of instantly. There's even a new community center challenge that unlocks kitchen upgrades.

The Automate mod is a huge boon to productivity on the farm that reminds me of complicated redstone machinery in Minecraft. Automate allows you to pair chests with machines that automatically pull raw materials from a connected chest and push the output back into the same chest. Smarter folks than me will be able to chain together complex interactions that save you from running about your farm to fill up machines all day.

Modern farmers rejoice! No longer does escaping to the countryside mean you must also submit to ancient farming techniques. The Tractor Mod allows you to purchase a tractor that performs the same functions as many of your basic farm tools but faster. It does everything from tilling dirt to breaking rocks to planting seeds, all from the comfort of a cushy seat. It's a very expensive upgrade, as tractors are, but once you've bought that garage you'll never have to plant by hand again.

Stardew Valley is one of few games where I don't outright detest the fishing minigame, but Teh's Fishing Overhaul makes the experience that much better. It adds the possibility for fish to be unaware of you, making them easier to catch, and rewards you for consecutive perfect catches as well. I'll still never choose the riverland farm map, but this overhaul will certainly make grabbing those fishing achievements less painful.
