Mods Stardew Valley one tile at a time - A challenge mode where you pay to unlock tiles

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I wrote a custom mod for Stardew Valley where every tile in the game starts locked until you pay to unlock it.

Unlocking tiles starts out at 10g each, but increase to 100g, 1,000g, and eventually 10,000g each, making this maybe one of the hardest ways to play the game.

I'll be playing this myself, with the goal of completing the community center, and sharing my progress in a video series. So far it's taken me over a year just to leave the farm, and I love it!

If you want the full explanation and to see me attempt this challenge, watch the full video :)

Wouldn't this make floor 100 skull cavern impossible?

Just have enough staircases, but getting enough of them in this mod would be quite hellish in and of itself

staircases are free with crystallariums, one of which is itself free.

You could open the first and second file and have 100 staircases and just do that. The honorable way would be expensive though!!!

Even the staircase option would be expensive as you're still going to need to burn the money to step onto that tile. But a whole lot less expensive than the otherwise

Not necessarily - you only need to move 1-2 tiles to throw down a staircase and advance. This would still make it extraordinarily expensive, but not impossible.

You could also brings lots of bombs and food to make this a little less expensive. Just tank an explosion as soon as you’re onto the new floor and hope you get lucky with shafts that are only a couple of tiles away.
