Useless Stardew Trivia

This thread is for anyone to post some useless Stardew trivia they know. It won't help in-game but it's fun anyway. Ooo ooooh! Me me, pick me first!

• Penny is the only Villager with 2 swimsuits.
• Like kittens, Pelican Town residents grow into their hand/paw size: Jas' are the same size as Maru's.
• The Bachelorettes and Bachelors overall face you equally. Elliott's mad side-eye does some heavy lifting for the more directly engaging Bachelors.
• Harvey only grew his moustache recently.

He also tacked on a bitta weight.
• Emily wears chunky heels. During the Flower Dance she's of only average height whereas elsewhere she's the tallest Bachelorette.
• Evelyn is the only Pelican Town resident whose eyes you never see.
• The genes for Jodi's hair texture are likely recessive.
• Sebastian is the only villager to own a white T-shirt, the very last person I'd expect.
• Emily's sprite often shows a mole on her face but she hides it for closeups.
• Sam's nose alone has more personality than some Villagers, changing between many of his portraits.
• Maru is likely farsighted as she has glasses on when working and off when at Ginger. Also she only recently got them after straightening her hair.

• Emily and Sebastian exchange scarf ideas for his birthday. Elliott is not invited because he insists his is a fluffy Persian cravat.


I'll add or post more as I think of 'em. The most uselessesest the betterest!

I have so many of these, here are a couple random ones:
1. The game has a stat for cave carrots collected but it doesn't actually track anything
2. For machines, only furnaces, heavy furnaces, oil makers, slime egg presses, kegs, and preserves jars still active at 6:00am are considered as factors in determining that day's daily luck in 1.6
3. Step manipulation doesn't affect standard mainland weather in 1.6, but still affects ginger island weather (at least as of the earlier 1.6 patches)
4. It's possible to trigger the fishing minigame from a fish pond if your natural bobber movement within the pond removes it from the fishpond 'hitbox'
5. The original meteorite texture was grey with craters instead of purple with pink crystals
6. There exist very buggy items within the game only accessible through spawning them in, such as the shadow obelisk which spawns in slimes, shadow guys, and shadow girls (looks like krobus with a pink bow), which run around and shrink until they crash the game's visual processing
7. (the sprite sheet for the shadow girl)

8. The specifics of which NPC will be a vendor at the desert festival partly depends on their order within the save file, which is determined by the location where they were upon saving the previous night (those locations having the order)
9. At least in 1.5, the vegetable medley had 2 names, called vegetable stew in the cooking menu and vegetable medley in the collection tab (or vice versa, I don't really remember)
10. There's actually a 7th colour for the coloured flowers, which is the default flower, only obtainable from the traveling cart (or previously through glitches with junimo huts), this is due to the flower only gaining specific colour values when being picked
11. Since sunfish replaces other easy fish on your first fish, and the fish frenzies simulate a random catch when determining what fish to select, it's possible to get a sunfish frenzy in all the wrong catch conditions, such as in the ocean in the rain in the wrong season

I can come up with way more if y'all want, I have too much random info

They are random drops when you fight Haunted Skulls in the Quarry Mine. They have special abilities like moving around your House at night and occasionally swapping clothes with you! Also they'll occasionally blink at you but you gotta pay attention, it's really creepy. And sometimes they teleport themselves right next to your bed, creeping on you in the morning. Isn't it great?

I went to the QMine every day for about 2 seasons to get a few and currently have 5 male and 3 female models! They're trapped in a Shed and I'm trying to make some rules for them to play Hide and Seek but I've had so many other Stardew projects that that one is kinda just sitting fallow. And 2 of them have trapped themselves in the walls, the fools.

It's almost like they have stuffing for brains.

Putting your name as the ID of items will give you said item whenever a villager says your name directly. An example is naming yourself [499] which gives you ancient seeds. Also works with animals and children.

Wait waitwait these are starting to sound actually useful! I'm looking for stuff that doesn't help anything at all, which fits my play- and lifestyle. :wink:

Sandy will often sell you a fun shirt. I know, we normally only visit her when we need starfruit seeds, but she does sell other stuff! If I'm not getting any suitably fashionable shirts falling out of trees, I'll see what Sandy has in stock.

Then, you can change your shirt in front of her, just to show off your muscles and give her a little show. It doesn't do anything game-wise, but I imagine she enjoys it.

Don't worry I can help remedy that actual usefulness

Don't use item IDs, if you instead put %favorite in your name or farm name whenever someone says your name or farm name they'll instead call you by whatever your favourite thing is
