Summary
AStardew Valleyplayer who has enjoyed the game for nearly 800 hours shared their surprise at learning about changing the game’s bobbers for fishing. While the single discovery pleased theStardew Valleyfan, they also immediately learned something new from a shared comment about how the bobbers work.
Stardew Valley’s fishing systemis simple to learn, but more complicated to master. In essence, all one needs to do to capture a fish is to keep the fishing bar over the fish’s location while reeling the rod in. However, plenty of complications can come into the picture, from jittery, rapidly-moving fish to treasure boxes luring people away from their catch. While there are many options for tackle and bobbers that can make fishing easier or more profitable, one particular alteration is cosmetic and took this player by surprise.
Reddit user andStardew Valleyfan Canine0001 shared their surprise at discovering the Bobber Machine in Willy’s fishing store. Although they had 800 hours in the game, they’d never noticed the existence of the Bobber Machine, and were happy to share their delight in changing the look of their bobber into a flower. Other players were quick to point out that the Bobber Machine had only been around since the1.6Stardew Valleyupdate, so the player hadn’t been blind to it for all 800 hours. However, their new discovery was quickly made even sweeter by another fan.
Variety is the Spice of Life
While players can choose from any availablebobber styleto use from the Bobber Machine, they also have the option of making it a random pick every time they cast their line. AnotherStardew Valleyfan shared with the OP that under the list of available bobbers, players should see a die. If clicked on, this will change the bobber’s appearance every time a player casts their line, choosing from the list of available bobbers that they’ve unlocked. While the list may be small at the start, there are ultimately 39 different bobber styles to pick from, so randomizing could make fishing much more interesting visually.

While some find it a bit embarrassing to realize something later on, thelaid-back nature ofStardew Valleyallows players to enjoy it however they like. In a title as content and feature-rich asStardew Valley, discovering things later on just helps to keep the game entertaining and exciting year after year.
