Have you ever wanted to add a Stardew Valley cabin to your farm? Or perhaps you’ve been playing for a little while and noticed the option to build a cabin on your farm? Whatever the case might be, understanding what the purpose of cabins is in Stardew Valley can be incredibly helpful, and we’re on hand today to help you find out more about how to build a cabin on your farm and why this might be a valuable option to consider.
What are Cabins in Stardew Valley?
Cabins are small buildings in Stardew Valley that are built to provide a home for additional farmhands on your farm; in other words, cabins allow you to host a multiplayer game quickly and easily, providing somewhere for each player to sleep.
In order to host a multiplayer game, you’ll need to have one cabin per player. This is true even if the player never uses their designated cabin. It’s worth noting here as well that cabins can be added to or removed as desired.
Cabins Come Included with Multiplayer Farms
If you are hosting a multiplayer game in Stardew Valley, it’s worth noting that you won’t have to build cabins at the outset; instead, a cabin will be provided for free. This allows each player to have their own farm cabin without having to make everyone share the same house.
Can A Player Only Use Their Designated Cabin?
It’s easy to assume that you’ll only be able to use the cabin you are assigned when you spawn into the game; however, this isn’t actually the case. In reality, a player can use any cabin they want, or even the main farmhouse! It’s also possible for several people to sleep in the same bed to pass the night, so even if several people end up entering the same house at once, this shouldn’t pose a problem for sleeping arrangements.
Why Might I Want to Build an Extra Cabin on my Stardew Farm?
There are several different reasons that you might want to build an extra cabin on your Stardew farm, and keeping these in mind could help you decide on the right approach for your farming needs. Some of the main reasons you might want to build an extra cabin on your farm include the following:
- To invite new players. Did you know that you can turn a single player game into a multiplayer game just by building extra cabins on your farm? Once you have built cabins on your farm, you’ll be able to invite friends to the game, allowing you to get more help for your already established farm.
- To have somewhere else to sleep. If you’re the sort of person who often leaves things late at night and to the last minute, building extra cabins on your farm—namely, around the extra entrances to the farm at the North and South of the map—could be useful. This could help reduce the risk of passing out and losing some of your money or items when you reach that 2 am curfew!
- To make your farm look lived in. At the price of them, if you wanted to add cabins to your Stardew Valley farm simply for the purposes of role playing, there’s nothing to stop you! Cabins don’t need to be used, so you can always build them and just leave them empty if you so want.
What if I Want to Cancel Multiplayer on my Stardew Valley Farm?
If you’ve built cabins on your farm to make the game multiplayer, but later change your mind, you can always kick out any invited players and ask Robin to delete the cabin. However, this can be a somewhat drastic measure, and naturally, your friends might be a little annoyed if this came to pass!
Of course, it’s always worth weighing up whether to kick a player off the farm carefully. Sometimes, though, this is simply required for logistical reasons, such as servers struggling to handle multiple players or only being able to play when others are online. Luckily, our dedicated ScalaCube servers fix these problems, with 24/7 uptime and instant access—perfect to help make the most of your game.
