A creative Stardew Valley fan has shared the personal thermal bath they built inside a shed on their farm. The design is impressing fellow fans, both for its general appearance and how it utilized the game’s cosmetic options.
Stardew Valley offers players plenty of ways to build and customize their farm and home, but some players take it a step further. The game’s sheds are entirely unfurnished, which lets players choose how to use them. While some are content to use sheds for storage or producing products like preserves, others use them for creative applications that add charm or character to their home.
In this case, Stardew Valley fan YuffiePlinPlinPlon utilized a shed to build a thermal bath, or an indoor hot spring. The image shows a shed completely transformed, with an open bath surrounded by plants and stone in the center of the room. A pipe leads down into the bath, presumably intended to look as though it’s providing heat or pumping water, while trees and butterfly hutches give additional charm to the scene. While nowhere near as big as the Stardew Valley spa, it’s more homey and naturalistic than the more sterile spa.
Players have been more than happy to shower YuffiePlinPlinPlon with praise for their creation, with several expressing how they were impressed with the Stardew Valley player and the community at large for their constant creativity. A few players wanted to know how it was built, and while YuffiePlinPlinPlon hasn’t provided a complete explanation, they did answer some questions.
How a Stardew Valley Player Built an Indoor Bathhouse
The indoor thermal bath uses a bit of trickery to make it look like water is in the room. However, the blue making up the water is actually blue flooring. The stone and wooden square surrounding it are also flooring, which can be used to create paths. By carefully positioning the flooring and plants around the blue part, it gives the appearance of a spring in the middle of the room. Additionally, the butterly hutches, seen in the upper right, allow butterflies to freely float about the area. Some of the trees seen in the build were taken from the toy crane machine in the Pelican Town movie theater. A few lamps and general home decorations, like the small table, finish off the look.
Stardew Valley fans continue to find interesting ways to make the game their own, years after the title’s release. It will be interesting to see if the same continues in developer ConcernedApe’s next game, Haunted Chocolatier.
