When creating a new character players can select a number of different maps for their [[farm]].
+
There are five different '''Farm Maps''' to choose from in ''[[Stardew Valley]]''. Each map offers a unique layout of [[the Farm]], offering different benefits and favoring specific [[skills]]. Only one map can be chosen when starting a new game, and cannot be changed once selected.
  
Each of these maps offer different benefits, and favor specific [[skills]].
+
The Standard Farm offers the most space to plant [[crops]] and raise [[animals]]. The other four farms lack farming area, but offer special perks in comparison:
 +
: The Standard Farm encourages [[Skills#Farming|Farming]]
 +
: The Riverland Farm encourages [[Skills#Fishing|Fishing]]
 +
: The Forest Farm encourages [[Skills#Foraging|Foraging]]
 +
: The Hill-top Farm encourages [[Skills#Mining|Mining]]
 +
: The Wilderness Farm encourages [[Skills#Combat|Combat]]
  
The player's farm house will appear the same from the outside on all maps, but begins with a uniquely styled interior after the maps theme. These house interiors offer different [[furniture]] pieces, [[wallpaper]] and [[flooring]] for each map.
+
The interior of the [[farmhouse]] is decorated to match the theme of the chosen map. This includes [[furniture]], [[wallpaper]] and [[flooring]]. The exterior of the house is the same regardless of map choice.
 
 
Each map will change how the farm appears on the game map slightly. Most simply change how the farm area appears, but some change areas outside the farm on the map - the Forest farm extends the forest to the west toward the farm and the Riverland map connects to a river which flows south of the desert. These changes are only reflected on the world map - no changes are made to the actual game world outside the players farm based on map selection.
 
 
 
After selecting a map it cannot be changed, characters are permanently tied to their map type once created. Space wise each map takes up the same area, but there are different amounts of usable/farmable/buildable land on each.

The selection area for maps at character creation.

There are five different Farm Maps to choose from in Stardew Valley. Each map offers a unique layout of the Farm, offering different benefits and favoring specific skills. Only one map can be chosen when starting a new game, and cannot be changed once selected.

The Standard Farm offers the most space to plant crops and raise animals. The other four farms lack farming area, but offer special perks in comparison:

The Standard Farm encourages Farming
The Riverland Farm encourages Fishing
The Forest Farm encourages Foraging
The Hill-top Farm encourages Mining
The Wilderness Farm encourages Combat

The interior of the farmhouse is decorated to match the theme of the chosen map. This includes furniture, wallpaper and flooring. The exterior of the house is the same regardless of map choice.
