Stardew Valley veterans are still discovering new techniques in-game, and even with hundreds of hours under their belt, one fan recently discovered that a player can move stacks of items from inventory into chests all at once. There are so many things to discover and uncover within games of this size, and rather than being met with hate comments or critiques, even the most seasoned players are sharing similar experiences they've had.

Redditor stefv86 was playing Stardew Valley with their spouse when they noticed he was able to move multiple items into a chest at once, a technique stefv86 did not know existed even after spending 250+ hours on the game.

The "technique", it turned out, was a simple button on the chest that allowed players to move multiple items into the chest at once, saving a lot of time in the long run.

Stardew Valley Fans Share Their Discoveries

Even After Playing For Hours, The Game Still Holds Surprises

Once this discovery was made, the pair quickly jumped to Reddit to see if anyone else had made this discovery prior. Stefv86 was greeted with accolades from other players who had no idea this technique existed, even as seasoned experts.

There were also plenty of other longtime players sharing their discoveries they only learned after hundreds of hours spent playing. Redditors then chimed in to share their own tips and tricks in Stardew Valley, such as East_Buffalo506 explaining how to ols by holding them down. They stated, "Oh yeah hold em down and they do way more! You can water like 24 tiles at once or something with iridium watering can."

Other finds included how a player could cast in different directions by hitting WASD on the keyboard, a discovery that ultravai3 said was made after logging 900 hours on the game. With each new reveal, veteran players were left shocked that this was the first time they had heard most of them.

Our Take: Many Major Titles Still Have Features Fans Have Yet To Discover

From Organizational Tools To Magic Spells, There Are So Many Hidden Treasures In Games

There is no standard way to play video games anymore, especially as open-world gaming becomes more common. Players can log hundreds of hours and still make discoveries with each new save file. Outside of Stardew Valley, popular games such as Zelda: Breath of the Wild or Tears of the Kingdom have similar worlds of secrets that improve gameplay, only for these secrets to be discovered after hundreds of hours of dedicated gaming.

As silly as a player can feel after making these discoveries after everyone else, it should be noted that the discovery of these secret tips and buttons is part of the experience. Developers want players to have fun while also giving their games longevity, so the goal is for players to learn more through multiple saves rather than one playthrough.

The Sims is a game I frequently return to because there is always a new update and something new to learn about the game. Despite spending literal decades on the game, my first time switching to a first-person perspective was a total accident and I only found it because my dog slapped my keyboard. A slip of the keys added a whole new level of immersion for me and made me a more invested player overall, which is what makes games like Stardew Valley, Zelda, and Sims all the more special.
