In Stardew Valley, there is a long list of random events that can possibly occur overnight at any point, such as the Witch who drops off a Void Egg, or an explosion being heard in the night.
If you get the “An explosion was heard in the night” notification at the beginning of a new day, you may be wondering what this means, but don’t worry I’ve got all the details you need.
What exploded in Stardew Valley?
Unlike some other random overnight events that open up a new area of Pelican Town and the surrounding area to explore, an explosion is a more targeted event. When you hear an explosion, it means that a Meteorite has fallen somewhere on your farm and now you need to go out and find it.
Most of the time, Meteorite will fall somewhere that’s very obvious at first glance. If you’re unlucky, one of two things can happen:
- The Meteorite will fall directly into your crops or decorations, destroying them
- The Meteorite will fall into a bush and be hidden from view
Regardless of where it falls, and how much damage it does to the space around it, you can get some useful items from a Meteorite.
What do Meteorites drop in Stardew Valley?
Meteorites can fall at any time, including during the first year, which makes at least one of the items they drop particularly useful. However, in order to get these items, you will need to have a Pickaxe that is either Golden or Iridium quality. This can take a while, especially given the resources needed and the cost involved.
If the drops aren’t particularly valuable to you, you could always choose to keep the Meteorite as a decoration and repair the space around it in order to turn it into a centerpiece. Meteorites are quite rare, so it can be a bragging piece if you happen to get one.
The items Meteorites drop are mostly always the same, and you’re guaranteed to get the first three items listed below if you destroy a Meteorite:
- 10 Iridium Ore
- 2 Omni Geodes
- 8 Stone
- 25% chance of dropping a Prismatic Shard
