NPC Pathing in Stardew Valley – 1.5

, , ,

Villager Paths of DestructionMy original maps for 1.5 paths

I filled the entire world of Stardew  Valley with items with one goal in mind, let the villagers destroy everything… which they did. For SCIENCE! or rather… for DECORATING!
The original maps were taken from a 100% completed game file, with which I did everything I could possibly do to access every map and variation, so there may be some spoilers if you haven’t worked through the 1.5 update released in 2020.

I tried my best to account for any and all schedule changes and paths here, including marrying (and then divorcing) everyone for their unique marriage paths. Cutscenes, festivals and the like such do not affect normal maps, as they use a different instance of that map.

Some locations are not shown here, they are either completely used, or are unused. Some you can fill with anything you want! Like the wizards tower… just a little reminder of his past mistakes. I’m the only witch he needs…

Pelican Town

The notable change from 1.5 is the addition to Leo’s pathing, he cuts behind the community center to go to the playground. Both Community Upgrades are done and the Theater is built. The wiki version has Penny’s path blocked at the skinny bridge up top, so I fixed that.

The Bus Stop

The only major changes here come from getting married and when Emily visits Sandy.

Cindersap Forest

Pictured after Year 3 and the Trash Bear has done their thing. I also, uh, forgot to get Robin’s axe. That spawning in destroyed a chest. Um…. yeah. Don’t see me getting that for you anytime soon Robin.

The Ocean and Tidepools

A lot of chests were destroyed when the Villagers started heading to Willy’s Boat, as well as some on the docks from when I got married to a couple of different candidates.

The Mountains

This doesn’t account for Sebastian sometimes going across the added lake bridge.

The Trainyard / Railroad

A train coming through didn’t crush the boxes, and the chests are able to be placed all the way up to the summit entrance.

Bathhouse

The Women’s room is untouched so I didn’t include the picture. Also, the shower in the Men’s room hasn’t been used. Gross Alex… just gross.

Calico Desert

Emily visits Sandy for her birthday once a year, and they go on a rampage.

Sandy’s Oasis

Seed Shop

The Seed Shop where Pierre, Abigail and Caroline all kick it. 1.5 added the space near the bottom.

Caroline’s Tea Room

Harvey’s Clinic

I made sure that every Villager that has an appointment with Harvey made it to their checkups so that the space here is updated.

Harvey’s Apartment

Granny’s Place

Evelyn and George’s place. Oh, and Alex lives here too I guess. The notable update here is George & Evelyn’s room. A bed fit for two!

Pam & Penny’s Trailer Home

Pam & Penny’s Home

I’m still a bit upset that I financed this place and Pam still sleeps on the couch. There are a couple of chests missing from either side of her bedroom door as that causes pathing issues normally, but she doesn’t even go in there, so I’m sure those spots are safe.

Jodi, Vincent, Sam and Kent

Kent and Jodi have such a tiny bed!

Emily and Haley’s Home

Emily & Haley’s home. Alex doesn’t stop visiting when you get too close to Haley. That’s nice they can still ne friends.

Lewis’s Mayor Manor

You can reach some areas by hopping in the chairs.

Stardrop Saloon “Before”

This is how the Saloon looks before changes with Alex’s 14 heart event. I have the after-event shot near the bottom of the page with the other “Spoilers.”

The Blacksmith

Always need Clint on Fridays

The Museum & Library

There was a very small change with the addition of Leo.

The Carpenter (Robin, Demetrius and Maru)

A few chests are missing here compared to the prior map, which likely happened when I married Sebastian or Maru and they came home to visit.

Sebastian’s Dungeon

Marnie’s Ranch

Of COURSE, she’s not at the counter. Jas and Shane live here too.

Leah’s Cottage

Elliott’s Cabin

Willy’s Shop

Willy’s backroom gets no actual foot traffic, so it’s a Safe Zone.

Jojamart

Can’t say I trust leaving items in here, but you can. Although, if you complete the Community Center with things inside here, they are gone forever. I learned that the hard way and had to re-do JojaMart on a new farm because I forgot to get a picture the first time.

The Community Center Completed

Before you complete the community center, there isn’t any foot traffic in here, so it’s not pictured. Keep in mind, if you put stuff in here and then finish the Community Center or your Joja Membership, your stuff is going bye bye.

Ginger Island

Leo’s Hut

The Jungle

Ginger Island Shrine

Leo does come over here from time to time.

Island South (Resort Built)

I spent a ton of time trying to get every Villager to visit the resort. Nearly all of them do, apart from Willy, the Wizard, Linus, George and Evelyn, Sandy, Gunther, Dwarf and Krobus, and all the “other” NPC’s. As I was watching them it looks like there are a few villagers who have specific paths, like Sam playing his guitar, and others swap between a few different patterns. I’m not 100% sure they have done all their damage, but this is the result of letting them cause property damage on the resort every sunny day for a year and a half in-game.

Island North

I chopped down all the trees to make it easier to see. The only person who comes up here is Leo. I had him do his normal routine for an in-game year before I triggered his heart event for him to move in the Treehouse in the Mountains. Afterward, he does come back to the island to visit often, so I gave him another year so that I could see the final results. There is one spot I could put a chest, at the cave entrance by the river, but there was nowhere for me to go to make the room so I left it. Leo’s cutscenes don’t affect the boxes.

SPOILERS BELOW

The below pictures are from areas you have access to after you complete the community center, and stuff some may consider spoilers.

Stardrop Saloon “After”

Alex’s 14 heart event opens up the back room for Game Day.

Theater Interior

I took EVERY villager to the movies. I placed the chests when there wasn’t anyone really in here, and the various loitering patrons don’t destroy anything. Other villagers who watch the move and leave at the end will destroy stuff. I’m not sure this is 100%, but I went to the movies 40 times and ended with this.

Joja Theater

If you sold your soul to the company store, the Community Center will be a warehouse. Nobody goes in there, so it’s a Safe Zone until you upgrade it to a Theater. The Joja Theater pathing is the exact same as the regular one, I tested it with 40 movies as well.
