Summary

  • Stardew Valley players can use the "add to existing stack" button to easily organize items in chests.
  • Many players have overlooked this feature despite it being in the game for a few years.
  • Continuous updates in Stardew Valley ensure more content and discoveries for players.

A Stardew Valley player recently discovered an extremely useful feature when sorting items into chests. The "add to existing stack" button allows players to add whatever they have in their inventory to pre-existing stacks within the chest and can often be overlooked by Stardew Valley players.

Stardew Valley has a huge amount of content for players to enjoy within the farming life simulation game. With many objectives for players to complete both on the side and as a part of the main storyline, it is easy to log a ton of hours into Stardew Valley before players beat the game. Stardew Valley also doesn't contain a traditional video game ending, offering a seemingly infinite experience. Instead, players can choose to complete the main story or continue enjoying and tending to their farm indefinitely. Oftentimes, this is how gamers can log hundreds of hours into the game, and with the wealth of content at their disposal, it is no wonder that some features can occasionally be overlooked.

Reddit user stefv86, who has over 250 hours of playtime in the cozy farming game, recently just discovered the useful "add to stack" button when organizing items into chests. This button allows players to add all items in their inventory into pre-existing stacks within the chest. Other Stardew Valley players shared that they took a while to find this button and understand what it did as well. A few other users even shared how they didn't know about this until now, sharing the original poster's delight at finding this incredibly useful feature after all this time.

Long Time Stardew Valley Player Discovers Useful Organization Button

While the discovery of this feature has become somewhat of a meme among the Stardew Valley community, since it was added to the game several years ago in patch 1.4, it is still an incredibly easy button to overlook. With tons of content to explore, it makes sense that players are still finding new things within the game. Just recently, another Stardew Valley player discovered a useful fishing tip that allows them to yield less common items and actually make use of trash items when fishing via a recycling machine.

Although the "add to stack" button has been in Stardew Valley for quite some time now, it is still surprising players today with its helpful functionality. With update 1.6 for Stardew Valley released earlier this year, there is now even more content for players to enjoy and more secrets for them to find within the cozy farming sim.
