If we don’t have enough strength, there will be many tasks that we won’t be able to accomplish. We’ll tell you all about it.
Stardew Valley is a game in which we have to work on our own farm, among many other available tasks. But… would it be as fun if the character never got tired ? That’s where the game’s energy system comes into play , which must be differentiated from the life system. What happens if that bar goes to the maximum and we enter a state of exhaustion ? We tell you all about it in this guide.
The energy bar in Stardew Valley
First of all, you should know that the energy bar is what determines whether our character is tired or not. As well as whether he ends up exhausted , in case of losing all that energy. What is it for? As simple as the player needs energy to use tools , with the exception of some like the scythe or weapons. Also, if we pick up or move chests with empty hands we will also need energy.
Of course, energy will also decrease as the day goes on . That’s why it’s important to replenish it when necessary, by eating foods that offer positive energy (there are others that lower it). Usually, the most expensive foods give more energy, but that’s not always the case. Also, remember that we have published a guide with the foods that will increase the maximum energy bar the most (for a limited time).
Exhaustion in Stardew Valley
In case our energy reaches 0, a message will appear in our character’s head telling us that we feel slow because we have exerted ourselves too much. If that happens, our speed will be drastically reduced. Also, we will not be able to cast fishing rods . And if that were not enough, we will still be able to use some tools, but they will consume energy and we will end up with a negative value.
This means that if we reach -15 energy, we will faint as if we lost all the life in the health bar. Therefore, the day will end. And be careful, because if we faint outside our house, we will also lose 10% of our money (up to the amount of 1,000 G).
What happens if we have reached exhaustion but regain energy to be above 0 again? In that case, we can move faster again and fish. However, we will remain exhausted for the rest of the day. The game will not tell us this, but the next night we will only regain 50% of energy . If that happens, we can only recover by consuming a muscle relaxant or with a kiss from our partner as soon as we wake up if we are married.
On another note, while you need to keep an eye on your energy, don’t forget the importance of taking your health into account . If you want help in that regard, remember that we have published a guide in which we talk about the colors of the health bar and their meaning . And if you want to read more about Stardew Valley, remember that we have its respective analysis available .
