Sphere Signals
8 min readStardew Valley characters: gift hub for every villager search
A character gift hub that routes into extracted villager tastes instead of duplicating every love/like list on one page.
Use the live matrix, not a static dump
There are 47 social NPCs in the current extract. Listing every taste here would drift; the /gifts matrix and /villagers cards are the source of truth. Use the on-page links to jump straight into the matching JunimoSphere tool instead of retyping names from memory.
This hub explains how to navigate tastes, birthdays, and romance gates, then deep-links into per-villager tools.
- Open /villagers and search by name.
- Use /gifts to sort by item.
- Birthday fields come from NPC data, not hand-typed calendars.
Romance vs friendship
Bachelors and bachelorettes share the same early gift rules until 8 hearts. Bouquet and pendant decisions are separate from normal weekly gifting. Use the on-page links to jump straight into the matching JunimoSphere tool instead of retyping names from memory.
Non-romance villagers still accept gifts forever — useful for stash-busting loved crops.
How to verify after a patch
JunimoSphere rebuilds tastes from Content extracts. If a social post disagrees, trust the villager card and file a correction if the extract looks wrong. Use the on-page links to jump straight into the matching JunimoSphere tool instead of retyping names from memory.
- Check /methodology for extract dates.
- Use /corrections to report mismatches.
- Compare item IDs, not just display names.
Verify with live tools after every patch
Stardew patches can rename objects, retune prices, or change gift rows. JunimoSphere rebuilds catalogs from the game Content extract, so the linked hubs above are safer than memorizing a static article table.
If a number on this page disagrees with the live card, trust the catalog, then send a correction with the game version and the exact item or villager name. That keeps Sphere Signals aligned with the extract revision shown on /methodology.
- Open the linked catalog card and confirm the ID/name.
- Check /news for patch notes that mention the system.
- Report mismatches via /corrections with your game version.
