Stardew Guide Codex
Current codex: Stardew Guide, a practical reference for new farmers.
Stardew Guide is the Stardew Valley section of Player Codex. It combines searchable database pages with original beginner and progression guides so a player can move from a raw item fact to a practical decision.
Use the database when you need a specific villager, crop, fish, animal product, mineral, or bundle reference. Use the guide articles when you need planning help: first-week priorities, energy management, mining windows, fishing cash, sprinkler scaling, tool upgrades, festivals, animals, and long-term preparation.

How to read this section
Database facts become planning choices
A crop page can tell you season and growth time, but a guide explains whether that crop fits your cash, sprinklers, and bundle pressure. A fish page can tell you weather and time, while a fishing guide helps decide whether today should be a cash day, bundle day, or mining day. That separation keeps reference pages useful without turning every lookup into the same generic article.
