''[[Stardew Valley]]'' is an open-ended game, allowing [[The Player|the player]] to [[Achievements|achieve]] goals non-linearly.<br/>
There are various ways to earn [[Gold|income]] and many activities to choose from including [[farming]], [[fishing]], [[foraging]], [[mining]], [[The Mines|combat (fighting enemies)]], [[crafting]], [[cooking]], [[Villagers|gift giving]], completing [[quests]], donating to the [[Museum]] and restoring the [[Community Center]].
==Character creation==
* Animal Preference determines which pet will arrive on the farm later.
* Gender does not affect in-game marriage.
* The "Favorite Thing" will be referenced in-game when the player eats a [[Stardrop]]. If the player chooses [[ConcernedApe]] as their favorite thing, the following top message will appear when you eat a Stardrop:eaten. If the player puts anything containing Stardew(Capital S), then the lower message will appear.

Players can later change their appearance for {{price|500}}, in the [[Wizard's Tower]], after reaching 4 Hearts of friendship with him or gaining access to the [[Witch's Hut]] and using the portal within.
Sleeping at the end of the day will restore the players' energy. After 12:00AM, the player won't restore 100% of the energy. If the player is exhausted when they go to bed or forced sleep at 2:00AM, they'll wake up in the morning with their energy level about half restored.
On Multiplayer, lying in bed will regain energy over time.
On the third day of summer, an earthquake will remove the rocks that block the path leading to the [[Spa]] (north of the [[Carpenter's Shop]]). The Spa will fully restore energy over a short period of time.
==Skills==

{{main article|Villagers|Friendship}}
:''See also: [[Marriage]], [[List of All Gifts]]''
Giving gifts to villagers will increase their friendship rating. You can give a gift by highlighting it in your inventory or selecting it by typing its hotkey number and then left clicking on the person to whom you wish to give the item. As friendship is earned villagers will send [[cooking]] recipes or food gifts through the mail, give you access to their bedrooms, and treat you differently in dialogue. Unique cutscenes and interactions can also occur as friendship is earned. The player must also earn a high level of friendship in order to date, and eventually marry, an eligible villager.
