Living a relaxing farming life might be a big part of Stardew Valley‘s appeal, but that doesn’t mean that chasing success can’t easily become a central part of the gameplay experience.

Most of the best methods of doing so have long been solidified over the eight years since the game launched, but updates can always shake things up and provide new opportunities.
