Stardew Valley: Green Rain, Explained

The world of Stardew Valley is charming and known for its cozy farming vibes. Farming, ranching, mining and more can be done daily, and having the perfect weather can impact how successful you are in your endeavors. However, not all weather is optimal, and some weather can be unpredictable.

Stardew Valley: Things To Do After You Beat The Game

Stardew Valley has a great main story, but a majority of the game takes place after you finish it.

In the 1.6 update, the green rain event is introduced. When everything turns green, what happens to your livestock and crops? Thankfully, we're here to shed some light on what this unique and puzzling weather means and how you can use it to your advantage as you go about your day.

What Is Green Rain?

When checking the weather in the morning, you may find that the meteorologist is puzzled. The reading will not be clear, and the newscaster will express not knowing what the weather report means.

Green Rain will only occur in the summer!

The next day, you'll wake up to find a green rain has descended upon the valley. The entire screen will be green, and almost everyone will seek out shelter at the Stardrop Saloon (except for Demetrius, who hangs around in a hazmat suit to collect samples).

What Does Green Rain Do?

The green rain may seem dangerous, but fear not! It's not acid rain or anything that can hurt you. Instead, it means that Moss is growing in abundance. You'll find that many of the regular trees are overgrown, and some have moss growing on them.

Use your Scythe or axe to hit the trees with moss to collect one to two pieces.

The green rain affects all of Pelican Town, so spend the day collecting moss as much as you can. Another resource you'll find is Fiddlehead Fern, as large stalks of it grow around the valley only for the day.

Harvesting them will yield around six ferns per stalk, so you'll want to grab all you can in the day. Don't shirk your other responsibilities around the farm, but take the opportunity to catch up with your neighbors and gather limited resources while they are plentiful.

While called Green Rain, it will not water your crops or fill your pet's water bowl.
