A Stardew Valley player achieved a remarkable feat: amassing over ten million gold without leaving their farm. While the game's charm lies in Pelican Town's NPCs, the core gameplay focuses on farming. This player bypassed typical seed acquisition from Pierre's, instead leveraging the power of Mixed Seeds.
These seeds, obtainable by tilling soil or harvesting weeds, yield different crops depending on the season (see table below). This method, shared by Ok-Aspect-9070, proved highly effective, particularly on the Four Corners farm map due to its ease of Mixed Seed acquisition and convenient mining area.
Season | Crops |
---|---|
Spring | Cauliflower, Parsnip, Potato |
Summer | Corn, Pepper, Radish, Wheat |
Fall | Artichoke, Corn, Eggplant, Pumpkin |
Winter | Any (Greenhouse & Garden Pot only) |
Island | Blueberry, Melon, Pineapple, Rhubarb |
Initially, Cauliflowers provide significant income. However, efficiency skyrockets after crafting a Seed Maker (requires Farming Level 9 and a gold bar). This machine produces 1-3 seeds from input crops, with a rare chance of generating lucrative Ancient Seeds (28-day growth cycle). This unconventional strategy, completed over nine in-game years (25 real-time hours), demonstrates impressive resource management, although it doesn't unlock any achievements. It's a testament to the game's depth and a challenge for seasoned players.
