What are the Advanced Options in Stardew Valley?

Community Center Bundles

The Community Center in Stardew Valley is an important piece of a major quest line, and it takes a significant amount of effort to complete. Inside the building there are groups of bundles within the Crafts Room, Pantry, Fish Tank, Boiler Room, Bulletin Board, and Vault. This advanced option allows players to alter the bundles in the Community Center, changing some options within bundles as well as adding the possibility of completely new bundles.

Underneath the option to remix the bundles is a checkbox that mentions guaranteeing the ability to complete the Community Center in the first year of Stardew Valley. This is typically impossible because acquiring Red Cabbage seeds in the first year is only possible through the random chance of the Traveling Cart. Clicking this option guarantees that a Red Cabbage seed will be available at least once throughout the year at this shop.

Mine Rewards

The Mines in Stardew Valley contain important resources that players need to collect in order to improve their tools, complete quests, and check off bundles. They also contain rewards at every tenth level except for 30. These are the same for every playthrough and this advanced option allows players to open up more variety. For example, normally level 60 comes with the Crystal Dagger while this option allows for the chance of finding that weapon, a Cutlass, an Iron Edge, a Burglars’s Shank, or a Wood Mallet. Some items such as the Slingshot, Master Slingshot, Stardrop, and Skull Key remain the same regardless.

Underneath the option to remix the Mine rewards is a checkbox that allows monsters to spawn at a player’s farm. This is an exciting way for players to increase their difficulty by having to fight off monsters at night. These monsters will scale in difficulty with a player’s combat skill.

What are the Advanced Profit and Multiplayer Options in Stardew Valley?

After the Community Center and Mine remixing options, players will find the option to adjust the profit margins in their game. This effectively functions as a difficulty setting in Stardew Valley, decreasing the amount of money players can earn through selling crops and other goods. The possibilities here are items selling for 75 percent, 50 percent, and 25 percent of their original value.

While not particularly hitting on the profits in Stardew Valley, the random seed text box allows players to plug in known world seeds. For example, particular world seeds are known for having frequent visits by the Crop Fairy, great stock in Stardew Valley’s Traveling Cart, and even the ability to complete the Community Center in the first year.

Multiplayer Options

Within the advanced options, there are two sections that specifically impact multiplayer games in Stardew Valley. The first of these is the Starting Cabins option. With this, players can choose to have 0, 1, 2, or even 3 cabins automatically spawn on their farm. This will give co-op players their own place at the very beginning of the game.

Further adding to this, the next option allows players to choose if these cabins should spawn nearby or far apart from one another. This could be especially useful for maps such as the Four Corners Farm in Stardew Valley with its four, unique areas.

Stardew Valley is available now for Android, iOS, PC, PS4, Switch, and Xbox One.
