Summary

  • Use the deconstructor to get 99 Stone by recycling staircases for a Stone farming hack.
  • Fans excited by Stone advice, some use Jade for unlimited Stone while others share Wood farming ideas.
  • Uncover new tips even with Stardew Valley's age, like utilizing Crystalariums for Jade to acquire Stone.

A Stardew Valley player has shared a great idea for those who are struggling to get enough Stone in the game. Since Stardew Valley relies on a number of crafting materials to unlock everything one might want or need, having enough core materials like Wood and Stone can be a big deal for players.

While Stardew Valley players can sometimes have an absurd amount of particular crafting ingredients saved up, it often doesn't take long to use them all up. For example, in addition to spending money, players can end up needing to hand over hundreds of Stone in order to have certain buildings crafted by Robin, or to craft unique items like the Statue of Blessings. For those who are struggling to maintain a stock of Stone, this may be a valuable tip.

On Reddit, user FoodzyDudezy007 shared a discovery they made with others on how to quickly gather up Stone without making regular trips to the mines or quarry. The OP says that their wife tossed a Staircase into a Deconstructor and was surprised to get 99 Stone out of it. Stardew Valley Deconstructors give players back some - or all - of an item that is used to craft something, which is also the case with Staircases. However, players can also get staircases by trading in Jade with the Desert Trader once the bus is fixed. In other words, if a player has plenty of Jade available, they can trade one Jade for one Staircase as many times as they like, bring those back home, and deconstruct them for piles of Stone.

Stardew Valley Fans Are Intrigued by Stone Advice

Numerous fans have left comments on the post, with some being very excited at the prospect of being able to get Stone easily. Others have been a bit more thrown off by the post, as some have plenty of Stone and a distinct lack of Jade to implement this tip. However, it's largely based upon where a player is in the game and what they need to progress. For example, some other players professed having a number of Stardew Valley Crystalariums, which can duplicate Jade, ensuring that players never have a lack of the material needed to buy Staircases, and thus a practically unlimited Stone supply.

Some fans also expressed feeling frustrated because they have more than enough Stone, but not enough Wood. To that, fans also shared ideas, like planting tree seeds to the north by the railroad. After a few days, players can cut down all the trees and gain a lot of Wood in the process. Players also suggested using bone fragments in the Bone Mill to produce fertilizer, which can speed up the process of growing the trees.

Though Stardew Valley is approaching a decade old at this point, there are still finds that players regularly share that are a big help to the community as a whole. For those who have Jade but not enough Stone, this tip is something to look into.
