The 1.5 update for Stardew Valley launched for PC players at the end of last year, bringing a huge swathe of new content. Although it has yet to arrive for consoles,the update is alreadytempting many players back to the simple life in Pelican Town. However, whileStardew Valleymay be all about simple living,the late-game content canactually get pretty complicated.
As the Seasons pass and players get more established on their farms, they'll begin unlocking more powerful tools and buildings. These can be as simple as a silo for collecting hay, or as complex as aclock that stops time for certain events. One of the most interesting late-game structures is the Jumino Hut, butis itworth building?

How Jumino Huts Work
Junimo Huts are one of the last buildings that players will gain access to in Stardew Valley.They are purchasable at the Wizard's Tower, but only after players have completed the Goblin Problems quest and returned the Bottle of Ink. Buying a Jumino Hut costs 200 Stone, 100 Fiber, and 9 Starfruit. Starfruit is the second most valuable crop in Stardew Valley, and getting seeds can be a challenge. However, Jumino Huts have the potential to return the investment in time-saving.
Every morning, three Juminos will leave the hut and begin harvesting ripe crops within 8 tiles of their front door. They'll continue doing this until all crops in range are harvested, until the player sleeps, or until 7pm. However, Juminos won't collect crops in the rain, in Stardew Valley's winter season, or from Garden Pots. Players can collect any crops that the Juminos have gathered by checking the bag outside their hut.
Are They Worth It?
While Jumino Huts are certainly useful, they're also expensive and take a long time to acquire. The time they save the player in daily harvesting may pay back their huge initial costs, but they're not a perfect solution. The Juminos themselves are inefficient harvesters, and may not clear their area every day, leaving some crops unharvested. In addition, harvesting is only half the work that needs to be done when there are ripe crops on a Stardew Valley farm. Players will also need to replant if they want to maintain their farmland and fertilizer, meaning they'll have to tread the same ground as the Juminos anyway.
Ultimately, the question of whether Jumino Huts are worth it in Stardew Valley comes down to the attitude of the player. Jumino Huts can save a lot of time on harvesting, so for players looking to automate as much of their farm as possible, they're ideal. However, for players who are fine with undertaking more manual work themselves, and want to ensure it's done efficiently, Jumino Huts are not the best solution.
