by The Stone is an essential resource in Stardew Valley since it is necessary to create a lot of in-game objects and therefore it is a resource that should never be in short supply on your farm.
Suffice it to say that it is not at all a scarce resource, in fact quite the opposite, it is a quite abundant resource and also at the beginning of the game we will have our farm full of small Stones that we can chop with our pickaxe to start with a good assortment of this.
What is certain is that we will be asked for this resource so much (especially when we want to build buildings), that we will have to find an optimal way to obtain it in large quantities and in a simple way .
THE SIMPLEST METHOD: THE BIG ROCKS OF THE MINE
Without a doubt, the method that I recommend the most is to crush the large rocks that you can find in the Mine. In case you don’t know, you can access this starting on Spring 5 of course the first year (how crazy would it be to have to wait a whole year to go there).
These large stones that I am telling you about are the best source of stone because when we chop them we will obtain 10 stones instead of between 1 to 3 stones that we can obtain when we chop the smaller stones. Furthermore, finding them in the Mine is not much of a mystery; The strange thing will be if you don’t actually find them, because it is quite common for one of these to appear in any room you go to and given their size it is difficult for us to miss them.
Given that in a normal game of Stardew Valley, it would be common for you to go through the Mine from time to time to get materials such as Copper, Iron… etc., then my recommendation is that you take advantage and crush some of these large Rocks along the way. . Of course, keep in mind that unless you have the improved Pickaxe, you will invest some energy in the process and in the Mine energy management is very important, so it wouldn’t hurt to take an object that restores it (coffee comes in handy), especially if you intend to farm a lot of Stone.
If you are going to go to the Mine simply for Stone, I recommend that you start on Floor 1 so as not to complicate your life too much.
