Although the world of Stardew Valley is a relaxing one, it's no doubt that its dedicated fanbase has taken in-game farm design to new heights. While meant to help its audience achieve a sense of relaxation and fun, some new players can't help but feel pressured to clean up their plots a bit to try and be lavish as some of the farms these incredible fans have created.

Preference is everything in the end — what works and makes each player happy is a great build. Still there are some great pointers that any fan can get behind in the event they decide to seek out some tips. Whether they're aiming for a cozy build or an extravagant one, here are a few simple (yet effective) tips that can help any player make their beloved farm layout amazing.

8 Use Online Farm Layout Planners

Don't be afraid to look for resources outside of the game to help plan out the perfect farm layout. There are plenty of helpful sites out there when it comes to helping players map out their ideal layout. This way, players don't have to go through the long process of trial and error in-game.

There are only so many hours in a day in the wonderful world of Stardew Valley. Sometimes it can be difficult to fix up the entire field while also making time for selling crops and tending animals. Using a third-party application to plan out a layout can save not only time, but also precious resources and money.

7 Don't Be Afraid To Make The Move

Moving buildings and other various bigger objects can be a great option when trying to make space. Sometimes it can be easy to simply go with the flow and build around the already given locations of some of the items and buildings that are unlocked throughout the game. However, as of the newest update, things such as the greenhouse and even the shipping bin can be relocated to any part of the farm plot.

Don't let an item ruin a layout plan; instead, take the extra step to move whatever object is in the way. Taking the extra time and effort will feel most satisfying in the end when the layout finally comes together, with no obstacles ruining its aesthetic.

6 Use Fences Or Paths To Organize Areas

Seeing each bunch of crops sectioned out in their own respective areas can make the overall layout of a farm look clean and efficient. Not only is this aesthetically pleasing, but it also helps when it comes to harvesting, as the crops of the same kind (and same quality) will stack with each other. On top of that, it also helps when replanting the seeds once the first batch has been harvested.

Keeping all crops in their own categories/sections around the farm will help with both style and substance. Players can use fences or even paths as a means of making the clean lines of separation.

5 Don't Be Afraid To Craft Multiples Of Items

Sometimes the fear of ruining an aesthetic can keep players from achieving maximum efficiency on their farm. Once a new machine (such as the loom or cheese press) has finally been crafted, it can be easy to think it's a "one and done" situation. However, making room for duplicate machines can pay off in terms of aesthetic and efficiency.

Crafting multiple machines can create a more organized look and daily work routine. Only crafting one of each machine can lead to lower profits while waiting for each resource to transform, before selling them for their maximum value. Ensuring that all items farmed from animals can be processed at the beginning of a day is crucial. It will also help with the layout's overall look and functionality in the long run.

4 Don't Focus Solely On Crops

Another great addition in the newest 1.5 update is the ability to place certain pieces of furniture outside. Placing furniture outside will make the overall feel of the farm more realistic and "lived-in". It will help with making the layout feel less "cold" and barren with crops, sprinklers, and scarecrows going on for days.

Try livening up the farm area with realistic resting areas or flowery decorations. This can go a long way in helping the atmosphere of the layout feel fresh and a little less plain.

3 Place Artisan Equipment Near Their Respective Resources

Having a good farm layout isn't just about how aesthetically pleasing the overall look is. It's also about how well the farm functions as a profitable business. Players may find it preferable to have one designated area for all their machines that transform any animal resources (ie. milk, eggs) into a more valuable item.

However, in a game where time is everything, dealing with tight inventory/pocket space can dampen efficiency. Placing all machines nearby their respective barn house can drastically save time dropping off extra items at the shipping bin to create more inventory space.

2 Big Picture Vs. All About The Details

Every player is different. Thus, it's natural for everyone's "perfect" farm layout to be unique from one another. Some players build their layout around the idea of a "bigger picture", a layout that involves an aesthetic view from a wide, zoomed-out perspective that includes beautiful patterns and intricate designs.

Meanwhile, other players are all about the intricate details. Make sure to know which style of layout is the ultimate goal. Focusing on both simultaneously without knowing which one to prioritize can make achieving the "perfect" layout difficult. Remember that the zoom feature can be toggled to help keep focused on which layout style to keep in mind as the ultimate end goal.

1 Build Around Your Final Design From The Beginning

For those beginning their journey, it's a good idea avoid being lazy and growing crops wherever is convenient for the time being, thus leaving the heavy lifting for later on. Even without a clear vision, it's best to keep things as organized as possible from the beginning. Don't allow crops to get unruly or equipment to be set up wherever seems okay for the time being.

Working around a simple starting build will always be easier and more satisfying in the end, rather than going through the trouble of breaking everything once other resources are unlocked later. Time is incredibly valuable in the world of Stardew Valley. Losing an entire day just to break down a previous build and set it up all over again is not only a waste of time but a waste of precious energy as well.
