Stardew Valleyplayers tired of their inventory quickly filling with stacks of items they don’t need should check out this incredibly helpful mod. When it comes to gathering resources in ConcernedApe’s farming RPG,finding enough space to carry everything back home can frustrate even the most practiced spelunker. Thanks to items automatically being scooped up whenever the Farmer enters their vicinity, players often need to micromanage their inventory to ensure they have open slots to pick up the things they want to keep.
Over on Nexus Mods, creatorDarkmushu1shared their handy “Loot Filter Item Pickup Filter” mod which addsa mechanic that allows players to specify which items they don’t want to automatically pick up. Once the mod is installed, any item that’s been “blocked” by the filter won’t be added to one’s inventory but rather placed back into the environment further away to prevent it from being picked up again. Players who want even more control over their game can even assign the mod to a hotkey so it can be toggled on or off depending on the situation.
Stardew Valley Is All About Optimization
Inventory Management Is Never Fun
The creation ofan Item Filter solves one of theStardew Valleycommunity’s biggest complaints about the game: Storage. While collecting all manner of items from the world and figuring out how to best use them is one of the game’s core appeals, it can be frustrating having to constantly sift through the inventory to determine what one should keep and what can be discarded. This annoyance is compounded by the game’s chests which have a limited capacity, meaning players who want to collect everything need dozens around the farm.
ConcernedApe has made several improvementsto the game’s chests and general storage system but it can still be tedious. Having a mod that provides players withadditional control over what they collect and ignore should make exploring the world, especially the mines, much easier.Trawling through one’s inventoryto throw away a pile of Stones significantly breaks upStardew Valley’s pace.
Stardew Valley 1.6 Is Great, But We’re Still Missing The Most Obvious Fix
Stardew Valley is missing a feature that would have been a perfect addition to the game’s 1.6 update, and is very notable for its continued absence.
Stardew Valley Needs An Item Filter
It’s All About Efficient Gameplay
The creation of an item filter inStardew Valleyis fantastic and I can’t wait to try it out. I’ve often lamented how frustrating the mines can be when my character automatically grabs whatever junk remains afterdetonating a Bomb, sobeing able to create an “Ignore List” is genuinely game-changing. Once again,the modding scene provesthat it’s possible to improve upon perfection.
