Rating ALL The 7 Farm Layouts in Stardew Valley 1.5
Hey there everyone philchill here and welcome to my channel today we are back with another starry valley video but this time we’ll be ranking the farm layouts in the game this is done purely by my
Own opinion since i know that everyone would have a different choice in their own game and i wanted to make this video for a while in hopes of helping out newer players out there with their choice
Of a farm for their start after the 1.5 update there’s a total of 7 farm layouts to choose from which all have their own pros and cons we’ll be starting this ranking from the bottom to the top
Making sure to explore all of those positive and negative sights so you the viewer can choose better when starting a new farm at the seventh spot we have the riverlands farm since it’s one of the hardest farms to start off properly since the waterways take up a lot of space from the farm
Leaving you with only a few places that you can build on and farm as well it’s not recommended for beginner players but you can still give it your best the whole farm is like a maze without any
Direct route to and from your house which adds on the challenge the farm has more water than farmable soil and it’s quite rare and important to plan your layout in advance in choosing where you want to plant your crops build your buildings and keep your animals in order to make a living on
That farm this farm layout was made with fishing in mind but most of the time you won’t even fish since it won’t be worth it in the long run even if you place crab pots all around it
It won’t be profitable since you will spend a lot in order to craft those as well so it’s a farm with quite a challenge in order to start properly at the sixth spot we have the beach farm the new
Addition which was added with the 1.5 patch is also quite low and only for one reason and that is the sprinklers don’t work on the sand on this farm it’s a really harsh penalty which takes a lot of
Your time in just watering the crops on the farm daily and only because of that reason it’s so low on the list the farm looks amazing and it’s quite beautiful you also can get occasional packages
Washing up on the shore that can contain random items when you break them those can help you a lot at the start of the farm and their contents are always random there is also on the bottom
Left corner of the mat a grayish area with a small pond that sometimes forageable items can spawn on the only place that you can use sprinklers on this farm is a small batch of soil above the mansion
Pond where you can plant crops and use sprinklers there but it’s still not enough to make up for a harsh penalty that you can’t use sprinklers on this farm because in order to make a lot of money
In the long run you’ll still need to plant on the sand for buildings at least it’s not an issue since you can place a lot of buildings and the beach farm it’s more suitable for keeping animals
Instead of planting crops so you can get a lot of bars with pigs and start your big madness there at the fifth spot we have the wilderness farm the wilderness farm is quite straightforward you have
A large pond in the middle as well as a pond in the bottom southwest corner of the farm by fishing in a pond you can catch mountain lake fish and there are a lot of cliffs that limit the formal
Area of the farm increasing the difficulty of this layout when night falls monsters can appear and attack you randomly which most of the time serves as an inconvenience since there’s nothing more worse than just coming low on hp on your farm and getting killed by a monster in front of your house
The most benefit that you can get from the monsters are from the wilderness golems which have a chance of dropping some mixed seeds when killed and this can be quite a benefit early on in your plague but afterwards it won’t be that useful since you can just buy your seeds from piers
When you have enough money and those monsters can only serve as a major inconvenience then at the fourth spot on our list we have the hilltop farm the hilltop farm has a lot of uneven terrain
Which also limits the farming space for that far but still gives you enough to work with to succeed unlike the riverlands farm which makes you getting from point a to point b quite hard this one manages to even out that and lets the player move around freely from multiple points
You have quite a lot of farming space to work with where you can grow a lot of crops which can help you in making a stable income the big feature of this farm is the quarry that periodically produces
Rocks geodes and oars which can boost your start with a nice source of periodic raw materials you need to just note that the quarry produces materials or based on your mining level so when you level up your mining the quarry levels up with you producing higher level
Materials like for example you start out with copper then with iron then with gold and then iridium the hilltop farm aesthetically looks really amazing with a river running through it making a lot of combinations possible with decorations so it’s a really nice farm to
Start your journey in stardew valley at the third spot we have the four corners map this map was made mostly for a multiplayer game where the whole farm layout is divided to four sectors
And each sector has its own look the farm is quite huge giving you a lot of farmable soil which you can use to get a stable income the divided look has a certain feeling and it helps you a lot when
You want to choose whether to build or grow some of the things you want the need for you to build fences or things like that is gone since there is a natural wall of stone going in four directions
This is the most optimal farm when used for a co-op game giving you the natural choice for every player and limiting their farming place i quite like the four corners layout since it has some nice places that you can make even better when you start decorating this farm
Layout is perfect for new players as well as the returning ones which want to try out something new at the second spot we have the standard farm which is one of the best farms to begin your journey in
Sardival the standard farm doesn’t have anything except farmville soil which is the best for all those money hungry players out there since you can just use up every square inch of land and plant it with crops making a ton of money in the process the downside of the standard farm is its look
Mostly since there is no variety in it and you need to come up with your own ways to make it the farm look the way you wanted it the huge quantities of gold you would be making with
This farm can help you achieve that since you’ll be able to unlock most of the end-game equipment buildings and crops more easily since you would have a more easier access to gold then on the other farm layouts this one is one of my favorite layouts as well
Since you can manage to make it just the way you would want it to look like and at the first place we have the forest farm the forest farm for me is on the first place because of its look since it makes a great combination between nature and farmable soil
Giving you a perfect balance between them the farm border is made from trees and foliage giving you a secret woods vibe and there are a few forest clearings where you can find a bunch of stuff like forageable items weeds that always drop mixed seeds and 8 renewable large stumps
Which can be an awesome source of hardwood early on in the game before even getting access to the secret woods when fishing you can catch cinder step for a spawn fish but there is also a chance to catch a wood skip which is also important for the community center bundles
I just love the forest farm layout since you have loads of farming space that you can use in combination with the forest clearings and it has a really beautiful look in every different season well those were my thoughts on the farm layouts of sergio valley what do you think which is the
Most favorite layout for you and which one is the one that you have spent the most time on please let me know in the comment section below since i would love to hear your stories about those in any
Case that’s all i have for you today if you want to see more content like this consider subscribing to my channel since it helps me out a lot and if you enjoy the video don’t forget to leave a like
I hope you have a great day and i will see you all in my next one but till then stay safe you
In today’s video we will be ranking All the Stardew Valley layouts in order to determine the best one. This is purely my opinion and it shouldn’t be taken for granted since everyone can have their own choice in which is their best farm layout in the game. The farm layouts in Stardew Valley are quite important and with the addition of the beach farm the total number of farm layouts are 7 in the game with the Stardew Valley 1.5 patch and all have their own unique pros and cons.

I have a four corners farm even tho I dont co op with anyone. I just wanted to get organized I guess.
Hold on, I just had a thought. You can place sprinklers on floor tiles, right? I have this on my own farm to stop myself from ploughing up my sprinklers every season. Can you not place floor tiles on the beach farm too make the beach farm an actual option?? And put sprinklers on the sand with the floor tiles???
the 4 corners map is great but it would be even better without the divider cliffs
Dang Phil! All kinds of views on this video! Congrats!
I chose the riverland farm as my first one. I kinda have an idea of how I want myy farm to look like, although it is pretty hard finding my way through I wanted to chose something out of myy comfort zone
I can never decide if I prefer Hilltop or Forest as my favorite layouts. Both are aesthetics I absolutely love, but Hilltop slightly wins out for the hills and river running through. But at the same time, the bridges for the river in Hilltop could be wider and the quarry just doesn't replenish ore and stones fast enough for long-term use. Forest, on the other hand, is both beautiful and fully practical; no restrictive navigation beyond forageables and weeds, plenty of soil for crops, and provides an additional constant source of hard wood. I just wish I had that river and hills…
If only there is a layout that combines those two: a forested hill with a river running through (maybe even with a small waterfall) easy to walk around in, hard wood stumps AND an actually useful quarry, and plenty of space for crops, animals, and buildings. That would be the dream.
my first ever farm was on the hilltop farm but i got frustrated with it and chose standard when i changed from PC to my switch. kinda wanna try starting another on on the hilltop farm again or try out the forest farm since it does look really nice
my first farm was the beach farm, after I got to Ginger Island and opened Qi's walnut room. I decided to start a new file on the Forest farm as I wanted to see how much sprinklers would change my farming experience. I can safely say that having not only access to sprinklers, but also tons of foragables and 16 free pieces of hardwood each day from the 8 stumps found on the left side of the farm makes the forest farm my favorite farm layout.
My first farm, which I'm still playing on, is the river farm
And honestly.. I'm loving it so much! I kinda like planning it out a lot and i Like the maze like Feature ..it looks really interesting and i love that i can just go outside of my house and fish if i still have 2 or 3 hours of the day and want some more money. Also, I think it kinda reminds me of my childhood, since i grew up on a farm with a lot of little places and many different ways to get somewhere, as well as having to "work" to get to specific places
Glad to have chosen the forest farm for my first farm !
I'm also into forest farm, they're kinda difficult to get with during early parts but damn the place when clean is awesome
what farm is better 4 corners farm standard farm or forest farm? im new player in this game
My farthest play through is only year 2 because I haven’t been committed to the game lately, so I’m starting fresh again and thanks to this video I think I’ll try out the forest farm!! I didn’t know about the benefits my first time around!
I like to use the 4 corners
I got the forest farm first because I was very into cottage core lol. For my second, I chose the four corners farm (and kept it on single player) so that I could section out into something more uniform and primarily money making, with pigs in the top left, other animals and my tree farm in the bottom left, fish ponds and artisan machines in the bottom right and crops in the top right
i just started the game and chose forest farm because i feel wood is very important and i love forest as an aesthetic and so far i like it. im struggling for money(idk what to put in the item box what not to) but im managing. im going in blind and staying in blind
edit: i have a question tho. whats a perfection run?
The mixed seeds on the forest farm are so great
Hmm which farm could I take as a „Beginner“ I played at the release and then I didn’t played for a long time. I want to start now again but I don’t know which farm type I should choose. I have a game with the forest farm but I need a second farm ( one is for Videos one for streaming – not this channel so no add for my channel – sry can’t good English xD hope you understand what I mean ) so .. would you say it’s not too hard on the hill-top farm when I didn’t played a few years? :-/
Would be nice if you would answer I really don’t know which one I should choose I like the forest farm but I can’t take the same farm again. 🤷🏻♀️ And the Standard farm .. I don’t want it again I played so long on this farm x3
I would switch first and second place but, overall, I do agree.
Hilltop has got to be my favorite! It’s very aesthetically pleasing and has a lot of dimension to it.
I like lots of space so I picked the standard farm on my main file and I'm glad I did because I always need space.
I chose the riverfarm and regret it, I don't even know why I chose it I don't like fishing
I am relatively new player and I chose the four corners farm and I was wondering if it was good because everyone said to pick the basic farm. I am on my second year
I have come to prefer the wilderness farm. The large amount of farm-able land with decorative nooks has made it my favorite look. I avoid getting killed early on by doing things late outside my farm and running to the house from the shortest route to go to bed. As my fighting skill goes up I can enter the farm from any path to head for bed without getting killed. The large pond is by far the easiest to use for crab pots.
I rlly like riverland farm as a beginner. I had trouble fishing XD so it helps.
I might choose 4 corners for sections and a taste of everything
I started on river I thought it was the easy one bc you didn't have to clean up much but it sucks to play on with no room.
can t decide between forest and hilltop:(
My personal favourite is the beach farm! It’s so pretty I like having a challenge 🙂
I started playing about a week ago, and I’m starting to see that I shouldn’t have picked riverlands
But i also don’t want to make a new farm as it’s my first save
Forest farm is my fav too! 🙂 it’s so pretty !!! then beach is my second fav but having no sprinklers does suck lol.
My main farm is the forest layout, and it ranks near the bottom for me. There isn't much farmable space, and the huge pond in the center makes it hard to get creative with decorating your farm with sheds and paths, since most of the space is used up by farm buildings. I do like the layout, but I like the others, like hilltop and standard, more, mostly because it's easier to plant crops.
I wish if there is option to change my farm from standard to forest 🥲
When i starded the game, i knew nothing about stardew valley, and my first acount was in the forest map, what a coincidence lol
Standard and Four Corners are the best ones to pick on your first playthrough.
My first farm was a standard one. It's not difficult to live there, but its look is kinda bad :/
How does your forest farm look like that? The leaves blowing and purple leaf border looks so cool but when I chose it, it looks so basic
my 2 favorite farms are hilltop and forest, but tbh Hilltop is the bets in my opinion
The forest farm’s treestump area is a better secret forest.
Realizing u had ur first game at the intermediate level with the riverside farm…
My first attempt was on a standard farm some years ago. For some reason the game didn't hook me, and I quit. i've recently started playing again, on Riverland, picked for its beauty, and I love it. beautiful land, and great game. I actually like how the farm is is already divided and can be used to put different buildings in different arras and isles.
I've also tried the forest farm, and it is great too. All the forageables and stumps, and t looks nice too.
The only thing I don't like in this game is the fishing. i just can't make it work, which means I'm stuck with buying fish for community center tasks.
HAHAHA LASING KBA? 😀
stardew valley
The beach layout is so beautiful 😭
Even if I can't use sprinklers I will use this layout for my third ever farm layout
I don't know why I never used this layout it's so beautiful!!
I am a very new player so I am using the largest one I think you put it as three on your list? I did start a beach one for my first co-op oops. Maybe I will do a four corners later on but am most interested in the forest one hehe. It looks so amazing and the hilltop one I could work with too maybe I will play them once I wrap up my big project on the map I am on. The four corners though I think I would want to have more than just me and my hubby on hehe.
imo the 4 corners and riverland farms are my favourite. I struggle a lot with managing space on my farm so these farms are just perfect for me since the land is split into segments. Best aesthetic definitely goes to beach farm though. 👍
