The islands are so tiny it makes raising livestock extremely difficult, and Slime Hutches are almost definitely out of the question. At least it has an additional 516 non-farmable but tiles, which helps a little. The problem is that the map is almost entirely water, with only a measly 1578 tillable tiles. It also does well with fruit trees, rice, and makers such as Bee Houses, Preserves Jars, and Kegs as they can take advantage of those buildable but unfarmable tiles easily while also raking in passive income.

This all makes it highly profitable in the early stages of the game where fishing is the best moneymaker. 70% of the fish are going to be the same river fish found within Pelican Town, while the other 30% are pond fish like those that can be found in Cindersnap. This is the most viable farm for fishing out of the lot, with very little trash. It makes for some great organization, but the highlight is fishing here. The Riverland Farm is a gorgeous farm layout with tons of water and a bunch of little islands. Expect to do little else on this farm but scraping by on low energy, running to Gus to purchase food, and probably fainting due to overexertion at least a few times. Additionally, due to its massive size, it takes a ton of elbow grease to actually get up and properly running.

It doesn't gain any special quirk other than having a metric ton of buildable space, the pond is full of trash, there's very limited foraging, and the respawn rate for debris is very low compared to some of the other farms. The downfall is that it is so perfectly made for farming, that it is useless for anything extra. Once it's all cleaned up and automated, this farm can really rake in the profits in a way none of the other farms even compare to, making it so after a year or so, the player will want for nothing. It's the perfect place to sit back and ignore the villagers unless they happen to appear en route to a shop. That makes it perfect for shaping to suit any need or preference.

It is the layout with the most profit potential due to its whopping 3427 tillable tiles and then 235 additional tiles that are not tillable but are buildable. The silo is integral for the sole purpose of being able to harvest wild grass and store it as hay, but its other features become less useful the further into the game the player progresses.The default Standard Farm layout is the go-to if the plan is to spend a ton of time farming. That said, while the silo unlocks the ability to store hay in each of the player's barns and coops, that feature becomes less useful once the automatic feeding system is unlocked with the deluxe barn and coop upgrades. Related: Stardew Valley: The Best (& Worst) Romances The happiness of the player's farm animals effects the quality of their produce, so it's important to keep them well-fed. There is nothing that feels better than mowing down an entire field of grass and getting a hefty stack of hay, especially since the item is so crucial to feeding farm animals and keeping them happy. Once a silo is built, players will be able to cut down grass with a scythe in order to automatically obtain and store hay in all their barns and coops. The silo unlocks one of the most satisfying features in Stardew Valley.

But, if players are getting the majority of their income from places like crops and artisan goods, it may be best to save the resources that would've gone into building a slime hutch. For what it's worth, this isn't a bad method to have a passive source of income from the otherwise useless materials that slimes drop. The player has the chance to find slime eggs as a rare drop from killing a slime, but they can also farm the slimes in their hutch and use an item called the slime press to create slime eggs. Slime eggs sell for a pretty penny, with the rarest egg (the tiger slime) selling for 8k. Unfortunately, the slimes that hatch in the hutch will still be hostile unless the player is wearing the slime charmer ring. This building can be used to raise up to twenty slimes, including being able to hatch slime eggs and breed the gooey creatures together to gather and sell valuable resources. The slime hutch was a relatively new addition to Stardew Valley, and one that had many players scratching their heads looking for a use in-game.
