Summary
Watching some television to start the day inStardew Valleyis a tradition for many players butmany are likely unaware that there are actually five channels to switch through. The Weather Report and Fortune Teller stations are always handy ways to determine what kind of activity the Farmer should undertake on any given day but neither is especially helpful infiguring out the best fishing routine. Fortunately, there is a way to learn what’s biting without leavingStardew Valleyto look up a guide.
Posted to Reddit by usermillennium-sky, the player shared thatafter playingStardew Valleyfor a year, they’ve finally uncovered the Fishing Information Broadcasting Service.
The channel, which provides insight into what fish will be available throughout the day, came as a revelation to many asthe comments are flooded with players who similarly had never heard of the F.I.B.S. It’s actually a very useful unlock: Not only does it explain what fish are available, but it also provides information on the time they’re active, where they’re found, and what weather is needed to catch them.
10 Things That Make No Sense In Stardew Valley
The world of Stardew Valley includes a lot of otherworldly elements, but certain aspects of the game still don’t make sense even in a fantasy setting.
How To Unlock F.I.B.S. in Stardew Valley
Small Chore, Big Reward
While it certainly seems strange to unlock something like a television channel inStardew Valley, accessing the F.I.B.S. requires players to complete a small request.A particular Special Order posted by Pam titled “The Strong Stuff” asks players to deliver 12 Potato Juice in 14 days, a task that can be daunting depending on one’s stock of the vegetable. Those who complete the Special Order are rewarded with 3,000g,250 friendship points with Pam, and a brief cutscene at the characters' trailer.
That’s not all though as the day after the aforementioned cutscene,players will wake up to discover a letter from Pam asking if they’ve ever looked into Channel 736. From this point on, the F.I.B.S. is available on every player-owned television, which is an incredibly powerful upgrade for anyonelooking to improve their fishing skills. Being able to quickly determine the best place to catch a seasonal fish without leaving the game to scope out a Wiki is a massive boon.
Stardew Valleymay be nearly a decade old butthat doesn’t mean the community has uncovered every secret hidden in the game. The Farming RPG is massive and while players have spent thousands of hours scouring Pelican Town for secrets and Easter eggs,there’s probably still plenty to unearth. One can only imagine how much more there’ll be to discover if the much-requested 1.7 Update ever comes to fruition.
