Summary
InStardew Valley, you can find a quarry in which new rocks and nodes are randomly generated every in-game day. One player decided to let it fester for a whole year to see just how many minerals would spawn.
You canunlock the Quarryby working on the Community Center and repairing the bridge to the right of the Adventurer’s Guild.
Before embarking on this time-consuming experiment, they removed all of the regular stones and trees to make way for the onslaught of ore that would crop up over the year.
In total, leaving the Quarry empty for 365 in-game days netted imageWS two topaz, 134 iron, 375 copper, two aquamarines, 259 coal, three amethyst, 63 gold ore, five rubies, two jades, three emeralds, one diamond, and one iridium. Unfortunately, they didn’t get a single prismatic.
Stardew Valley 1.6 Adds Coal Nodes
Thenewest Stardew Valley updateadded a brand-new coal node so that you may find one of the basic resources more easily.
Some fans affectionately refer to this node as the chocolate chip cookie rock.
Because imageWS left their quarry alone for a yearafterthe new update, they were able to see not only how many resources you’re able to get, but how common the new coal node is. 259 veins in 365 days isn’t too bad - it’s certainly a major quality-of-life improvement over old methods.
“The discovery of coal nodes when I started playing PC was life-changing,” one commenter said. “Can’t wait for coal nodes,” another replied, evidently waiting for the update to drop on consoles. “I feel like I’m always short [on] coal, and the coal furnace takes way too much wood. I end up mining dust sprites instead.”
