Perhaps you just got your hands on Stardew Valley on PC. Or, like me and many others, you picked up the game because it’s on the Nintendo Switch. Whatever the case may be, it turns out running a farm all on your own is a lot of work! Not only that, much of what you do day-to-day is all on you. The vast sense of freedom might be exciting for many players, but it can also be overwhelming. To help you make the most out of your days on the farm, we put together a Polygon guide for Stardew Valley. This will cover the basics and allow you to feel comfortable tackling the daily operations at your farm in the valley.
