Grandpa's Farm

Grandpa's Farm
Address	West of Pelican Town
Occupants	Farmer

“	"Modestly sized farmland with tillable grass, different landmark locations, shortcuts to surrounding areas, and secrets to discover."

Grandpa's Farm is a new farm map included in Stardew Valley Expanded. This map expands the farm size substantially and incorporates features of multiple default Stardew Valley farms.

It is recommended to start a new save when using Grandpa's Farm. See Modding Existing Saves for more details on installing either farm on an existing playthrough. SVE Farm options are available as a separate download. They are not included with SVE's main files.

Features

Bat/Mushroom Cave

The cave where Demetrius sets up his experiment. It is located in the upper middle of the map, next to the staircase which leads north.

Forageable Areas

Much like the Forest Farm map, the western side of this farm (across the small stone bridge) can spawn forageables.

Greenhouse

The greenhouse is now located in the western part of the farm and has a stone bridge which leads to it. The player will need a copper axe to reach it. The interior defaults to the game's original version. By editing the "larger greenhouse" option in the \[CP] Grandpa's Farm\config.json file from "false" to "true" you can access a larger interior.

This new interior layout has been redesigned, with more room for crops and 13 dedicated fruit tree planting spots. If changed, this file will need to be re-edited after updates. If not, a large L-shaped portion of the interior crops will be lost after playing a day and saving.

Grandpa's Shed

Grandpa's Shed is now included on the farm in the northwest corner. It is initially inaccessible until the player has a gold pickaxe or higher, due to a meteorite that has landed on the front stairs. See the quest section below for more details on unlocking it.

Grandpa's Shrine

On the Grandpa's Farm map, Grandpa's Shrine is hidden behind the waterfall to the right of Grandpa's Shed.

Fish

Several types of fish are found casting into the river on Grandpa's Farm. No special fish are found by fishing in the small pond near the farmhouse.

Grandpa's Shed Quests

	All events in the questline must be triggered by the host in multiplayer. However, any player can contribute to the required materials amount.

Grandpa's Shed Part 1: Safety Inspection

After the player has entered Grandpa's Shed for the first time, Robin will visit the farmhouse and knock on the door between 7AM and 3PM. She is making a check of abandoned buildings and suggests the player come watch her inspect Grandpa's Shed. After looking it over, Robin decides it would be a good challenge of her skills to restore the building. She asks the player to visit her shop later to discuss the details. By the time the player arrives, Robin has calculated the material costs for repairing the shed. She needs 150 pieces of hardwood, 600 pieces of stone, 50 iron bars, and 20 battery packs. Robin tells you to take your time gathering everything, and she'll craft a special chest to leave in the shed for storing everything.

Grandpa's Shed Part 2: Rotten Wood, Rusty Pipes

After the player has seen Robin, they will be able to drop the materials off in the shed as they are able. After gathering all materials, Robin will come to the farm and declare that not only will she start that day, but she also thinks she will be done by tomorrow! The next morning, the player can enter the shed to find Robin already there. The downstairs area, she says, would be a great space for using them to age wine. Upstairs Robin has installed window panes on the roof to allow the floor to grow plants, like a greenhouse. Susan has also donated several plants to spruce up the floor. The questline ends here, effectively giving the player a second basement and a second greenhouse in one location.

Grandpa's Shed Bridge: Stone Masonry 101

Sometime after the player has seen the finished Grandpa's Shed interior, Robin will come to the farm again between 9AM and 6PM. She has been reading up on masonry and offers to build a small bridge near the shed so she can try out her new knowledge. Robin needs 900 stone to build the bridge and tells the player they can drop the stone off at her workshop chest. Once the player has delivered all the stone, Robin will arrive at the farm between 6AM and 11:50AM excited all the stone is ready. She says she'll start the next day. This quest is exclusive to Grandpa's Farm.

Thicket Removal: A Strange Commission

In Year 2, if the player has already had the bridge built near Grandpa's Shed, the player will enter the blacksmith shop and find the Mayor just leaving. Clint says he has a commission and needs to source 30 gold bars for it. In trade, he offers to clear a thicket near Grandpa's Shed as it might provide access to a natural hot spring. Clint asks the player to leave the bars on his ingot shelf in the corner of the shop. The next day after dropping off the gold bars, Clint shows up on the farm. He's checked out the area near the shed and confirmed it's worth clearing. The following day, the player gains access to Grandpa's Grove.

Farm Expansion: Hoppin' Fences

After the player has completed the Community Center or the Joja Development goals, built the movie theater, built the Ginger Island resort, and cleared the summit boulder, the Mayor visits the farm on a sunny day between 8AM and 5PM. You've done a lot of good work on your farm and in the community, and he wants to offer you the roughly one-acre of land next to Grandpa's Farm. The player can choose to ignore this opportunity, or purchase the land. With either option, the player needs to visit the Mayor and let them know what they decided. If purchasing the land, you must sign and deposit money for the deed using a ledger in the Mayor's house/office. Once you have the deed, you also need to hand deliver it to the Mayor. The following day, he will show up and say the deed was approved and the land will be cleared and available the day after that. Purchasing this land give the player roughly 400 more tiles of space on Grandpa's Farm.
