Stardew Valley: The best tips for winter

In Stardew Valley you have to endure the long winters. Read the best tips for the cold season in this practical tip. You cannot plant fields immediately, but there are good alternatives for the pastime and the lack of income.

Stardew Valley: Tips for pastime in winter

In winter you have a lot more time because, for example, irrigation of the fields is completely eliminated. Read below how you can make good use of the time saved:

• A good occupation for winter is the completion of the museum collection. Farm minerals and geodes in the mine. Use the pickaxe to chop worms on the ground. These sometimes drop rare items.
• You can also use winter to clean up. Bring the farm back into shape by removing trees, stones and bushes. Not only do you create free space for the fields in summer, you also collect resources.
• Also pay attention to the community center. Complete the bundles in winter to win practical rewards that will help you in the summer.
• Bring your tools to the blacksmith because you don't necessarily need them in winter. This then repairs them and ensures maximum efficiency in spring.
• Most of the time you probably spend in the mine during winter. So use the time to get to the top floor and collect lots of minerals.
• Also improve your relationship with the other Stardew Valley residents in winter. Pay attention to birthdays, make friends and visit the festivals.

Stardew Valley: Make money in winter

Initially, the entire cultivation of the fields appears to be eliminated. However, there are still enough ways to make a lot of money even in winter.

• The main source of income in winter is the animals. So take good care of these and buy several mayonnaise machines. These can then process eggs from chickens.
• If you also have cows, you should also craft or buy a cheese machine. You can use it to process the milk further.
• Do winter foraging, so go in search of fruits and plants.
• Find a winter root, a crystal fruit, a snow yam and a crocus. You can use it to complete the associated bundle in the Community Center to receive 30 Wild Seeds. These are the only plants that you can plant in winter.
• If you have level 7 in the foraging skill, you should craft additional wild seeds. If you harvest the first 30 seeds, you can make more wild seeds from them - and increase the yield exponentially.
• Go fishing in winter too. You can use it to feed and earn money by selling.
• If you have already set up the greenhouse, you can even harvest any seeds, plants and trees of the summer here.
