Stardew Valley Players Shouldn't Sleep on Robin's Town Shortcuts

gamerant.com:

Though it may seem like just a simple farming sim, Stardew Valley is a lot more expansive and complex than many gamers may realize. There are many secrets and side stories to discover throughout the game, such as the secret of Fall 26, which can only occur if the player has abandoned their children by turning them into doves at the witch's hut.

Another Stardew Valley secret includes passageways that can be purchased via Robin. Moving around the Pelican Town map can be a bit tedious, especially before unlocking the minecart or buying a horse from Robin, sometimes resulting in falling asleep in random locations at 2 AM. However, not many players actually know about the secret passageways that can be purchased, likely because it's late-game content that was only added after the 1.5 Stardew Valley update, but getting them installed can prove to be quite a useful quality-of-life improvement.

Unfortunately, these shortcuts aren't available early on and will require putting some work in. The «main quest» of Stardew Valley is largely considered to be completing the Community Center, which requires donating to several bundles in the dilapidated Community Center building on the northern end of Pelican Town. Each section of the Community Center has at least a few bundles, and each bundle includes various forageable, collectible, or craftable items like crops, fish, artisan goods, mined materials, and so on. It takes at least a full Stardew Valley year to complete, though doing it in just a year is difficult and is considered a player-made challenge for the game. Most new players won't complete the Community Center until their second year at the earliest.
