Stardew Valley Player Accidentally Discovers Clever Use for Torches

Key Takeaways

  • Torch lighting options in Stardew Valley can be found or crafted.
  • Reddit user kellsipeth discovered by accident that torches can be placed on fence posts, creating visually appealing rings of light.
  • Other player suggestions for enhancing farm aesthetics include hiding torches behind tree trunks, using jack-o-lanterns, and placing torches on sprinklers for crop illumination.

As a seasoned Stardew Valley farmer with countless hours spent tilling soil and fishing for catfish, I’ve always appreciated the game’s attention to detail and the community’s ingenuity. Recently, I stumbled upon a delightful discovery that has added a whole new level of aesthetic appeal to my farm – torch rings on fence posts!


One clever Stardew Valley player has stumbled upon an unconventional way to use torches to light up their farm, placing them atop fence posts. Lighting options in Stardew Valley are limited, especially outdoors, but this way of using torches presents them in a much more aesthetically pleasing way.

There are several methods for obtaining torches within the game. One straightforward approach is discovering them in the mines or other dungeons and utilizing a pickaxe to collect them into your inventory. Alternatively, you can craft them using a basic recipe consisting of two pieces of wood and one sap. Lastly, three torches may appear in the Recycling Machine after it has finished processing a Soggy Newspaper.

Torches are simple to find or create and serve as useful light sources indoors and outdoors, but spreading them haphazardly on the ground or floor isn’t the most attractive lighting choice in the game. However, Reddit user kellsipeth has come up with a more aesthetically pleasing solution – placing torches atop fence posts! By employing this method, players can create chains of light across their farm without scattering torches everywhere, reducing the need to wear one of Stardew Valley’s light-casting accessories.

Stardew Valley Player Finds a Prettier Way to Use Torches

Many players are delighted with the new findings, but some have offered additional suggestions for enhancing a farm’s nighttime appearance in Stardew Valley. One player recommended concealing torches behind tree trunks as a way to both decorate and aid navigation in Cindersap Forest at night without using a Glow Ring. Another player suggested substituting torches with jack-o-lanterns, although they only illuminate a smaller area and can’t be acquired until late Fall of Year 1. Yet another player recommended the fence post method to brighten up Pelican Town, while one more mentioned that torches could also be positioned atop sprinklers to keep crops lit.

Players can engage in activities while they anticipate the arrival of Stardew Valley Update 1.6 on consoles and mobile devices, as its release has been postponed due to unspecified complications during the process of adapting it for platforms other than PC. This delay in ports has also caused developer ConcernedApe to temporarily halt work on his upcoming project, Haunted Chocolatier, so he can focus on ensuring Update 1.6 is compatible with all platforms that host Stardew Valley.
