Idle Stardew Valley on Steam
Idle Stardew Valley for its trading cards and full achievement set
Stardew Valley ships with 40 Steam achievements and a full trading card badge - a manageable, well-defined set that makes it a favorite for people working through their Steam completion percentage across their whole library.
Since most of Stardew's achievements are tied to actual farm progress (a specific harvest, a completed collection, an in-game relationship milestone), idling mainly helps with card farming and the handful of playtime-adjacent unlocks rather than full completion.

How many achievements does Stardew Valley have?
Stardew Valley has 40 Steam achievements, most tied to specific farm and story milestones.
Can idling unlock Stardew Valley achievements for me?

Does Stardew Valley need a local Steam client to idle?
No - it isn't a Game Coordinator title, so it works through both Agent Mode and Legacy Sign In.
