Taking care of a virtual farm in Stardew Valley is a great way to relax and find an escape from the day's stresses. However, Stardew Valley has been out since 2016, and even with its regular updates, many fans have explored most of the content the game has to offer. For those looking to make Stardew Valley fresh and challenging during a new playthrough, there are ways to invent new objectives and limit resources, pushing a player to try new strategies.
While Stardew Valley's 1.5 update has recently added a good deal of new endgame content to explore, players may feel like giving themselves a new set of challenges to accomplish in order to make gameplay more rewarding, especially if they start a new save file to enjoy the 1.5 update from the beginning of the game.
To test their financial skills, Stardew Valley players could take on a challenge to sell nothing for a full in-game year. A budget can be set in advance, as the player won't be able to make money while the challenge is going. The player can also choose how far into the game the challenge year will take place, which will affect the difficulty level. For example, if the challenge begins on a save that is several years into the game, the player will have more access to upgrades and resources. However, if the player only gives themselves a single season in a new game to prepare, this Stardew Valley challenge will be quite difficult, forcing them to be strategic on how their saved money is spent.
Players could also choose to play a game where the only way they're allowed to make money is selling artisan goods and cooked items. This challenge encourages Stardew Valley fans to convert raw materials and resources into more complex items. Players who made the majority of their money on raw crops and gemstones previously may find themselves learning how to utilize a truffle oil farm in Stardew Valley, for example, or find themselves filling their farm with sheds to store spinning wheels and cheese makers. This is a great challenge for a player who wants to create a specialized farm, like a winery or dairy farm.
Many players make their money farming high-profit Stardew Valley crops like strawberries. For those who want a particularly hard challenge, playing a game where only one pack of seeds can be purchased for each crop - and then only the seed maker can be used to make more - may create an interesting strategy experience. This type of playthrough requires players to gamble on the seed maker for the productivity of their farm. Challenges like these can help keep Stardew Valley gameplay fresh and exciting.
