In Stardew Valley, players often accumulate a massive pile of items that can appear very chaotic. If you’re planning to sort and categorize them, how should you go about organizing your items into zones? For fellow farmers looking to tidy up their clutter, check out these storage and zoning techniques.

Stardew Valley

Preparation

Before starting your organization project, complete these steps:

  1. Visit Robin the Carpenter and pay gold to upgrade your Cabin to a 7×3 Large House.

  2. Purchase a Workbench (2000g). Once placed, it can automatically pull materials from the eight regular Chests surrounding it for quick crafting.

  3. Craft Wood Signs (25 Wood each). You can add text to label each zone, preventing confusion.

  4. Note: The Workbench only connects to regular Chests; it cannot pull items from Junimo Chests.

Recommended Zone Layout (7 Zones Total)

Zone 1: Crafting Area (Right Side)

Arrange seven large Chests around your Workbench to store basic materials and frequently used items.

  • Mineral Chest: Ores, Gems, Prismatic Shards.

  • Drops Chest: Fiber, Wood, Slime, Stone.

  • Sea Creatures Chest: Seaweed, Mussels, Sea Jelly, etc.

Zone 2: Produce & Goods Storage (Left Side)

Place about 16 Chests, using different colors to categorize their contents.

Management Tips
