Stardew Valley Ore and Geode Routing
Resources / Copper, iron, gold, geodes, coal, and dirt patches
Mining routes should target the floor band that matches the resource bottleneck. Dirt patches can add Cave Carrots, clay, artifacts, ore, minerals, and geodes, while Dust Sprite routes help solve coal pressure.
Facts and route notes
Category: Resources
Focus: Copper, iron, gold, geodes, coal, and dirt patches
Checklist: Farm copper in early floors, iron in frozen floors, and gold in lava floors. Hoe dirt patches when museum, Dwarf Scroll, clay, or Cave Carrot needs matter. Fold coal farming into Dust Sprite and minecart routes instead of only breaking rocks.
