Stardew Valley cheats

Using Stardew Valley cheats can save you time on a game as deep as this. It might look like a simple game where you tend to your crops or enjoying a beer at the local Stardrop Saloon on the outside, but, it’s not really that simple once you get into it. If you don’t fancy putting in all the hours and hard grafting that Stardew Valley requires to get where you want, then we’ve got a few Stardew Valley cheats for you. And honestly, there’s no shame in using a shortcut.

Maybe you’re fed up with clock-watching to make sure you don’t get stuck outside past 2AM. Well, there’s a cheat for that. Or, maybe you want to duplicate that Prismatic Shard you’ve worked so hard to get your hands on. Well, there’s a cheat for that too. Check out our guide below for the lowdown on the top Stardew Valley cheats.

Stardew Valley Galaxy Sword cheat

The Galaxy Sword is a rare and powerful item in the game that is obtained by holding a Prismatic Shard between the Three Pillars in the Calico Desert. Now, the Prismatic Shard is also a rare item and so getting yourself a Galaxy Sword may take a while. Unless you use this cheat. All you have to do is buy the catalog from Pierre’s General Store and purchase the green wallpaper. The catalog is 30,000g but also provides unlimited access to all wallpapers and floor from your home. For some reason, the game recognizes the green wallpaper as a Prismatic Shard when standing in the right spot in Calico Desert and will change into a Galaxy Sword for you. Pretty neat, huh?

Stardew Valley gold spring onions cheat

For energy, especially in year one, spring onions will help you out. And there’s a cheat to forage only gold quality spring onions which means they’ll be better for energy and for money. All you have to do is fill up your inventory but make sure one slot is filled up by a gold spring onion. Make sure you don’t have any lower quality spring onions in there. Then, when you pick up a spring onion, if it isn’t gold quality, your character won’t pick it up. If it is, it’ll stack on the one you already have and so on and so forth.

Stardew Valley out of bounds cheat

If you head to the edge of an area and get out a tool or weapon and start swinging it, you’ll shift forward. If you repeat this action enough, you’ll actually head out of bounds and access areas of the game you’re not supposed to e.g. further out to sea or, not so helpfully, into the darkness surrounding your home. This one’s mainly useful for fishing and will help you move closer to unreachable bubbles when your fishing skill is too low still. There’s also a mod that lets you see the fish, if you want to check that out here.

Stardew Valley Extended Fishing Cheat

If you want to increase your fishing skill all the way up to level 10, then you'll need to spend a lot of time sat by the water, and if you factor in your travel to reach an appropriate fishing spot then get home again afterwards this can become a huge time sink. However, there is a handy exploit to give you much more fishing time, as long as you have an active quest in your journal. Simply cast your line, then open your journal and wait - opening your journal will pause time in-game, but your fishing will continue uninterrupted in the background. When you hook a fish, you can reel it in then repeat the process, allowing you to fish for much longer than you normally would in a single session.

Stardew Valley Delay Sleep Cheat

The day cycle in Stardew Valley lasts from 6am to 2am, and once you hit midnight you really need to consider getting your character to bed for some rest. If you reach 2am and you're still up and about, you'll pass out where you stand then wake up in bed, having been dragged home and tucked in by a helpful soul. However, they don't do this out of the kindness of their heart, and you'll lose 10% of your money (up to 1,000g) for this service which can be pretty costly.

So, if you find yourself stuck outside as 2am arrives, or you just want to do one... more... task... before hitting the hay, wait until your character yawns and is about to pass out then open your journal. This will stop you passing out - the game will try to trigger this action several more times so be ready to keep opening your journal when you yawn, but doing this will allow you to keep going longer and avoid an expensive nap rescue.

Stardew Valley Item Duplication Cheat for Unlimited Money

When it comes to Stardew Valley cheats, this is the big one! Every item in the game has a unique numerical code, and by using up to three of these codes each in [square brackets] as your character name, you'll spawn those items in your inventory every time your name is mentioned in the game. For example, naming yourself [163][166][434] will mean that whenever the game references your name you'll receive a Legend fish, Treasure Chest, and Stardrop in your inventory which can be sold for 5,000g, 5,000g, and 7,777g respectively, although the Stardrop is often consumed automatically rather than remaining in your inventory to sell. If you want to speed up this process further, go and chat to Gus the bartender at the saloon as he regularly mentions your name.

You can also utilise this Stardew Valley cheat when it comes to purchasing and naming an animal, but you only get the item(s) once. It's best to buy a chicken for this, and use the code(s) when naming it to get specific item(s) you really need. If you're trying to use the same codes and are having problems with repeating an animal name, try changing the order of the codes or adding a number/letter on the end and that should allow it to go through.

UPDATE: this exploit was patched out of the console versions of the game in the 1.3 patch.
