Stardew Valley is a popular farming simulation game known for its realistic and engaging gameplay. Being free from the daily grind and hustles in the city, players can find their solace in the simple and serene life in the countryside. Gamers can enjoy peaceful evenings by sitting next to a cozy 
Campfire and unwind after a long day of working on the farm or in the Mines.
As the sun sets over the Valley, a Campfire’s soft, warm glow contrasts beautifully with the dark nighttime environment of the game. Campfires provide a gentle light to their surroundings, making it easier for players to move around in the darkness. To gain regular access to Campfires in Stardew Valley, players should learn how to craft them.
How to Craft a Campfire
Campfires are a practical source of light during the nighttime. They can be strategically placed around the farm to illuminate key areas and enhance visibility. Players can place them near essential farm buildings, such as barns, coops, and sheds.
Moreover, Campfires contribute to a warm and inviting atmosphere, creating a sense of comfort. They blend well with the rustic design of the farmhouse and can be used as decoration to enhance the visual appeal of the farm.
Crafting a Campfire in Stardew Valley is a quick and easy process. To start a Campfire, players need to gather the following materials:
- 10 Stone – can be obtained by mining rocks with a Pickaxe
- 10 Wood – can be obtained by chopping down trees with an Axe
- 10 Fiber – can be obtained by destroying Weeds on the farm using a Scythe/Hoe/Axe
Players who want to save time can purchase Stone and Wood from Robin at the Carpenter’s Shop.
Once players have gathered the required materials, they can follow these steps to craft a Campfire:
- Open the Inventory or Crafting Menu by pressing the “E” or “ESC” keys on PC. Players can press the “X” button on Switch, “B” on Xbox, and “O” on PlayStation consoles.
- Navigate to the Crafting tab (denoted by a Hammer icon).
- Look for the Campfire icon. It will be highlighted if players have all the necessary ingredients.
- Click on it to craft a Campfire.
After it is crafted, the Campfire will show up in the Inventory. Players can then place one wherever they need a light source.
How to Switch Off a Campfire
Campfires can be toggled on and off by “right-clicking” on them. When switched off, the fire extinguishes, leaving the area in darkness.
Stardew Valley is available on Mobile, PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
