Stardew Valley Fan Asks For A Fix For This "Farm Destroying" Feature, Other Players Jump In To Help
One Stardew Valley player finds that their more rural farm look comes with the struggles of overgrowing weeds that break their design, asking how they can prevent their farm from being destroyed while keeping their desired farm's look. Players will find from starting the game that their farm is overrun and overgrown, but taming that isn't as hard as it appears. By cleaning everything back and removing any later patches of weeds when they show up, they won't be much of a problem down the line.
After finding their pathway had been destroyed by a new patch of weeds, the player Massive_Copy1090 turned to Reddit to plead for help. Wondering if their desired cozy farm look of tufts of grass throughout their paved stones was impacting the appearance of random weed patches, they quickly sought advice on how to fix the problem. Unfortunately, though, there isn't much that can be done, as these random weeds and their destruction are a guarantee for everyone.
This Stardew Valley Fan Wants A Fix For The Weeds
This Frustrating Mechanic Seems Pointless
In Stardew Valleyplayers can expect random weeds to appear on their farm in any area that isn't already built upon, regardless of the farm type, meaning farms that aim for a more cottagecore aesthetic can often struggle with the reappearance of these pesky plants. If they aren't taken care of, the weeds can also spread and grow into objects placed on player's farms, often coinciding with a message to alert them that something was destroyed. Unfortunately for Massive_Copy1090, with open spaces left on their farm, they're likely to see a return of weeds, but players have rallied to offer advice to make their life a little easier.
Despite the jokey affliction, one user comments "Just save up a small amount of 10,000,000 gold and you'll be golden", permanently stopping the growth of weeds through the purchase of the golden clock but for quite the price tag. Another commenter offers some advice they can take on immediately, suggesting they "Just scythe those weeds when they spawn. You might accidentally take out some of the grass with it, but it’ll soon grow back." While it's not ideal that there's no real way to stop this without a lot of money, it does make sense for weeds to keep coming back just as they annoyingly do in reality.
Our Take: The Stardew Valley Community Is Always There To Help Others
No Matter The Issue, The Players Are Always There To Help
This isn't the first time a Stardew Valley player has turned to the game's subreddit for help, asking players how they can do things better or what the purpose of differing items is. Whether players have accidentally ruined 7 in-game years of being roommates and need tips on how to fix the damage, or they just want advice on how to better farm, other players are always here to help. With such surprising complexity within this indie gem, there are always new things to be discovered and learned even by long-time fans.
There are also plenty of details in-game that often leave players asking questions, like strange doorways in the mines that seemingly could take players to new locations. Older players often know the answers to why these things exist, particularly after hearing developer ConcernedApe share previous details about what he'd wanted to implement into the game. With such a sweet player base always looking to help each other out, it's no surprise that Stardew Valleyis as successful as it's become.
