How are points allocated to each stat?

Each stat receives a share of the total points equal to its weight divided by the sum of all weights. The tool then rounds to whole points and assigns any leftover to the highest-weighted stat so the totals always add up.

What do the weights mean?

Weights are relative priorities, not fixed amounts. A weight of 3 versus 1 means that stat gets roughly three times the points, regardless of the absolute numbers you choose.

Can I force a minimum into a stat?

Yes. Set a minimum for any stat and the tool reserves those points first, then distributes the remainder proportionally to the weights so your floor is always met.

Why might the split not be exactly proportional?

Points are whole numbers, so the tool rounds each share and gives the rounding remainder to the top priority stat. With small point pools this can shift the ratio slightly from the exact weights.

Is there a single best build?

No. The optimal split depends on your goals — burst damage, survivability, or utility. This tool turns your stated priorities into a clean numeric split rather than prescribing one universal build.

Turn your playstyle into an exact Stardew Valley stat split

Build guides give vague advice like prioritise damage, but you still have to decide how many points that means. This optimizer converts your priorities into weights, divides your points proportionally, and respects any minimums so you get a concrete, balanced allocation.

How it works

Each stat has a weight w. After reserving any minimums, the remaining points R are split so each stat receives:

share = R × (w / sum of all weights)

Shares are rounded to whole points, and any leftover from rounding is added to the highest-weighted stat so the assigned points always equal your total exactly. Minimums are added back on top of each stat’s proportional share, guaranteeing your floors are met before optimisation.

Tips and example

With 30 points and weights of Strength 3, Agility 2, Intelligence 1 (sum 6), the proportional split is 15 / 10 / 5. Add a minimum of 4 to Intelligence and the tool reserves it first, then splits the remaining 26 by weight. Re-weight whenever your goals shift — a survival build raises a defensive stat’s weight, while a glass-cannon build pushes everything into offense.
