Learn advanced farming techniques in Stardew Valley, including how to efficiently track your shipped items and fish collections. This guide, updated for 2024's 1.6 update, helps you master core mechanics for a thriving farm.

  • Collections Tab: This tab acts as a record of items discovered or shipped and their quantities.
    • Items Shipped: This tab tracks the type and amount of specific items shipped via the Shipping Box on The Farm.
    • Fish: This tab keeps track of the type and number of Fish caught, either using a fishing pole or Crab Pot. Entries are added upon catching fish or collecting them from crab pots. Fish do not need to be shipped to count towards the collection. Fish foraged from The Beach, mined from Mussel Nodes, dropped by enemies, or purchased from Krobus or The Traveling Cart do not count towards the Fish Collection.
  • Tool Upgrades: After upgrading your hoe or watering can, hold down the tool button to increase the area of effect.
