Stardew Valley, the most popular cozy game on the market, was recently given a new set of quality-of-life changes in its 1.6 update. The addition of big chests, being able to move a pet’s water bowl, and other small tweaks made the game much easier to play. Unfortunately,one quality-of-life aspect has been overlooked, as flowers still take up far more inventory space than they should.
Different colors of flowers each take up their own inventory spot, which canquickly clog up the player’s inventory and make it harder to manage cropswhen harvesting. By slightly modifying how flowers work in storage,Stardew Valleycould avoid this annoyance and add to its stellar list of quality-of-life changes.
Managing Flowers In Stardew Valley Can Be A Pain
Too Many Blooms Clog Up Storage
Like most games,Stardew Valleyhas relatively limited inventory spacefor players to manage as they gather crops and resources from around town. Most of the time, having enough space to store everything is not an issue, especially with thegenius addition of big chests, butflowers cause an annoying amount of inventory management. Every single different breed comes in an array of colors, each of which gets its own inventory slot.
The biggest problem that comes at harvest time inStardew Valley, especially in Spring and Summer, is picking and storing all the different colors each flower has. Fairy rose, summer spangle, and blue jazz each have six unique color variations, while the tulip has five and poppies come in three different shades. That meansharvesting most blooms will cause up to six inventory slots to be taken up, which is quite a lot for what should be a single type of flower.
Allowing Colors To Stack Would Subtly Improve Inventory Management
A Small Drop-Down Menu For Every Flower Could Help
In general,Stardew Valleyis very liberal with the number of items players can have in a single stack. Stone, sap, wood, andpractically any item in the game can stack up to 999 in one inventory slotalone. Being able to carry that much around makes most quests and tasks very convenient, but also makes the fact that some items can’t be stacked even more glaring.
Stardew Valley 1.6 Gets Another Patch & It’s Great News For Beekeepers
ConcernedApe unveils yet another patch for Stardew Valley and this time it’s focused on fixing bugs and making life easier for patient beekeepers.
The best solution to flowers taking up too much inventory space while harvesting is to simply make them only take one slot. From there,a tiny drop-down menu of colors currently in inventorycould allow players to select the specific color they need. This small change inStardew Valleywould do a lot to make flowers less of a pain to harvest and would provide a small quality-of-life update to make gameplay smoother.
