Sharing Your Farm
For PC, Switch, PlayStation, and Mobile
These platforms have a native way to capture not just your farm, but any map you’re on! To use this feature:
- Enter the in-game map you want to capture.
- Open your inventory.
- Click on/move to the Options tab and scroll to the bottom.
- (PC only) Select a percentage. This actually refers to the quality of the screenshot produced, it will capture the full map no matter which % you pick, just at different levels of image quality (and file size).
- Click the camera button on PC, or "screenshot" on console or mobile.
You can find your screenshots on PC by clicking “Open Destination Folder”, or:
- On Windows at
%appdata%\StardewValley\Screenshots
- On Mac and Linux at
~/.local/share/StardewValley/Screenshots (Don’t see this folder on your Mac? See here to resolve that issue.)
- On Switch in the Album page
- On PS4 under Settings -> Storage -> System Storage -> Capture Gallery
- On PS5 under Settings -> Storage -> Console Storage -> Media Gallery
- On iOS and iPadOS in the Files app under On My iPhone/iPad -> Stardew Valley -> StardewScreenshots
- On Android at Android/data/com.chucklefish.stardewvalley/files/Screenshots
If chat commands are more your style, /mapscreenshot also works. You can also specify a filename and percentage with the command, for example /mapscreenshot image01 100.
For Xbox and PS Vita
Unfortunately, there’s no easy way to share your farm from an Xbox or Vita. The best options are:
- Recreate your farm using Stardew Planner and export the plan as a render. Plans can be rendered in any season by clicking the purple button in the top right.
- While playing, go to Robin’s and select the move buildings option. This will give you a slightly larger view of your farm, but you’ll still need to take several screenshots and stitch them together.
Planning Your Farm
Stardew Planner is a great tool for planning a farm. There is also a multiplayer planner where you can work on a single farm plan with multiple people.
Getting Started with the Planner
To start, you’ll want to select a farm map from the Layouts dropdown. If you play on PC or mobile, you also have the option to upload a save file and begin planning from there.
The site has a number of keyboard controls that make it easier to use, so once you’re on the planner page, scroll down to see those. It’s also worth noting that this site is designed for a desktop browser and doesn’t work well on mobile.
Saving a Plan
When you save a plan, the site will generate a unique url for that plan. Please be sure to bookmark or otherwise save this link to return to that plan. (If you saved a plan and closed the site, you’ll still be able to recover the plan in your browser’s history)
Sharing a Plan
Click the purple button in the top right and select your favorite season to get a render of your farm plan. Please note that if you’re planning a modded map, you won’t be able to render it, but you can still select “Save plan as picture” to get an unrendered image.
