Summary
AStardew Valleyplayer with years' worth of playtime has realized that trees located off of the farm can grow back. The discovery has surprised a few fans ofStardew Valleywho had no idea and have had some struggles with acquiring enough wood without this knowledge.
Stardew Valleyis an easygoing game, but it can also be demanding, depending on what players are interested in doing. The game’s crafting system isn’t overly complex, but does often require using ingredients that have to be grown or collected from animals. When it comes to wood, it’s used for everything fromcrafting chests inStardewto building new farm structures, and there’s also multiple varieties, so getting enough can be a challenge early on in the game. However, it seems that some players have been struggling with it for a long time out of fear of ruining the game’s charm.
Stardew Valleyplayer just--trash shared their realization that trees outside of the player’s farm can grow back. Just--trash has reached year five in the game, and has spent multiple real-world years playing it, but didn’t know that if they cut down trees inCindersnap Forest, located to the south of the player’s farm, they could grow back. They say that as a result, they’ve been scrounging forWoodthe entire time.
While many players noted that they already knew about this, there were others in the comments who were equally surprised. WithStardew ValleyNPCs like Linus, Demetrius, and its overall story often emphasizing protecting nature, it’s understandable that players might be hesitant about hacking down every tree in sight. However, players don’t need to worry about this, as any trees cut down in Cindernap Forest, by the lake, or similar locations will eventually grow back. This ensures that players have a replenishing supply of wood to use without having to convert their entire farm into nothing but trees.
Finding Enough Wood in Stardew Valley
While just-_-trash seemed embarrassed by making this discovery late in the game, theStardew Valleycommunity was supportive as usual, providing suggestions on how else to get enough wood in the title. Some talked about how they would cut down the trees near Robin’s house if they were just shy of how much wood they needed for a project. Others suggested usingStardew Valley’s train area near the spa to create a tree farm, which puts them out of the way but ensures that there’s plenty of wood to gather when it’s needed.
Stardew Valleydoesn’t hold the player’s hand every step of the way, which can lead to some discoveries like these being made late in the game. While it can be annoying to realize one was struggling with limited resources for no reason, players are free to take their time with whatever they choose to do in the game, so it’s not the end of the world.
