Have you always wanted to place objects North of your Shipping Bin but can’t do anything? Spoiler: it’s for your spouse. Find out more about what your partners will do on the Stone Path as you marry them!
Aside from standard stone walkways you can craft for decorations, another one exists North of the Shipping Bin. Most beginning Stardew Valley players have no idea of its purpose. You can neither place any furniture nor object as the tile won’t allow it.
Farmland tiles are one of the most significant factors for your in-game success. However, this free space could be more space for profiting with Starfruit and Ancient Fruits. What is this farmland tile exactly, and why does it exist?
A Small Stone Path Behind the House
A few steps outside the door is a 4×2 paved concrete space. Its looks will differ depending on your farm layout, but still an unsuitable place for objects and buildings.
What is the Paved Path for?
While useless at first, it’ll be a spot for your spouse’s hobbies when you’re married. Out of 12 bachelors and bachelorettes, Abigail, Penny, Harvey, and Elliott have the same garden design and hobbies except for Abigail playing her flute.
From Spring to Summer, here is every marriage candidates’ backyard and what they do in their free time:
Abigail
Abigail enjoys the yard with extra calmness, playing the same instrument as her four-heart event. Let the lady play her flute as it’s a form of natural meditation.
Haley
Haley’s aesthetic and modernistic side is showcased during her alone time in the backyard. She surely spends an enjoyable and relaxing day with mini coconut trees and a camera.
Emily
Opposite to her fashionista sister, Emily loves to connect with the surroundings through meditation. You’ll see weird yet colorful crystals on the paved area where she does her healthy ritual.
Leah
If there’s someone more connected with nature, your relationship might work with Leah. The artistic and alluring lady crafts the same masterpiece as her perfection.
Maru
Robot heads are something you won’t expect on your growing fields in Stardew Valley. One exception is marrying Maru, where she works on it all year round.
Penny
Since Pelican Town couldn’t afford a formal educational institution, Penny embodied knowledge for every child. However, don’t be surprised if she’s still reading books in your garden – she’s enjoying the atmosphere.
Alex
Alex is a diehard fan of healthy breakfast and a workout station to keep his body in good shape.
Elliott
Innovative writer, talented pianist, long-brushed hair – you’ll find Elliott reading books and enjoying the season.
Harvey
Another bookworm as a spouse and a full-time doctor in Town.
Sam
Sam is one of the cool boys in Stardew Valley. He spends time skating in front of their house, on a stone path behind the farm, and everywhere he goes!
Sebastian
While his dream is to get away from the Town and live a life in the city, it never happens once you marry him. But you get to see him on the tiles fixing his motorcycle sometimes.
Shane
Although unstable and defensive, Shane is fond of chickens. You have no choice but to bring in Charlie and his mini-coop on the farm if you marry him.
Stone Path in Every Season
Every flower in the backyard changes depending on the season. If your spouse puts something as decor, it won’t change except the snow on top during Winter. Even though you can’t place on the 4×2 tiles, at least you’re giving some freedom to your special someone in Stardew Valley.
