Stardew Valley: Dead Trees, Explained
Dead Trees have puzzled the players about their functionality and appearance on their farms. Here’s a detailed walk-through of them.
How to Get a Workbench in Stardew Valley
The Workbench allows you to craft items using resources stored in adjacent chests. Once you have placed a Workbench on your farm, you can access the contents of chests located on the eight tiles surrounding it. This enables you to store crafting materials in these chests and use them directly through the Workbench without needing to manually transfer the items to your inventory.
To get a Workbench in Stardew Valley, you need to visit Robin. Here’s how you can acquire one:
- Head to the Robin’s Carpenter shop, which is situated in the mountains, located north of Pelican Town.
- The Workbench is available for 2000 gold. There are no prerequisite requirements to buy it, so you can purchase it as soon as you have enough money.
If needed, you can buy more than one Workbench to place in different locations within your base.
Once you have your Workbench, you can place it on your base and start crafting using the resources stored in the neighboring chests.
How to Use a Workbench in Stardew Valley
To use a Workbench, place it in any accessible location within your base where you can easily interact with it. Once the Workbench is positioned, arrange chests around it and store the necessary crafting materials in these chests. This way, you can access the materials directly from the Workbench without needing to manually transfer items to your inventory.
When you are arranging the chests, make sure to leave one of the eight adjacent tiles around the Workbench free. This allows you to access the Workbench while using the remaining seven tiles for placing chests.
After placing the chests, you can use the Workbench to craft items. The Workbench will then pull the necessary resources from the adjacent chest.
Each type of chest has its own inventory capacity and construction requirements; for example, to craft a standard Chest, you will need 50 Wood and can hold 36 items.
