๐ฉ Four Corners Farm
The Four Corners Farm is a versatile layout in Stardew Valley designed with multiplayer in mind, though it also works well for solo players. The farm is divided into four distinct quadrants, each with its own theme and benefits, making it a balanced map that combines elements of other layouts. While farming space is reduced due to the segmented design, it encourages specialized playstyles and efficient cooperation.
๐ Layout
- Farm divided into four large quadrants by cliffs and paths.
- Each quadrant has unique terrain and resource focus.
- Tillable land: about 2,952 tiles — less than Standard Farm but more than many specialty maps.
- Designed to give each player (in multiplayer) their own farming area.
๐ Quadrant Features
- Top Left: Similar to Forest Farm, contains renewable stumps for hardwood and forageables.
- Top Right: Quarry area with rocks, ore, and geode nodes like the Hill-Top Farm.
- Bottom Left: Large open space for farming crops and animals, similar to Standard Farm.
- Bottom Right: Water area with a pond for fishing and Crab Pots.
โ Advantages
- Combines benefits of multiple farm maps into one layout.
- Excellent for multiplayer — each player can manage their own quadrant.
- Provides hardwood, mining nodes, fishing, and open farmland all in one map.
- More flexible than most specialty farms.
โ Drawbacks
- Segmented design reduces large continuous farming space.
- Travel between quadrants can be less efficient.
- Not as specialized in any one activity compared to dedicated maps.
๐ก Strategy
Pro Tip: Treat each quadrant as a specialized zone — farming, mining, foraging, and fishing — to maximize the map’s potential.
- Use the bottom-left for high-value crops and animal buildings.
- Harvest hardwood daily from the top-left quadrant.
- Clear and farm the quarry area often to keep ore and geode nodes spawning.
- Fill the pond in the bottom-right quadrant with Crab Pots for steady resources.
