Stardew Valley players explain why they take the long way around after an image calls them out for their nonsensical route through town. The map of Pelican Town in Stardew Valley is fairly straightforward, and it's easy to get from point A to point B without having too much trouble. But it turns out that many fans tend to take the long way around, anyway.
Reddit user TheRealJustSean shared an image they found of two paths from the farm to the blacksmith. The quicker, more obvious route is displayed on top, with the caption "this path makes sense," and the more circuitous route is shown beneath it with the words "but I can't stop doing this." The Redditor claims that they feel attacked, since they, like many others, take the longer route without fail. Fans took to the comments to explain why they purposefully chose the longer path, and the consensus is that they're simply following the trash.
While the top route pictured in the Reddit image is the faster and more straightforward path to take to the blacksmith, the second path is more beneficial for players to take. Etianen7/Reddit explains why quite simply: "Bottom route has more trashcans tho."...
