Indie Games That Became Major Success Stories
Though most only see a modest amount of success, some indie games have etched their way into video game history by becoming must-have titles.
Such is the case for Stardew Valley player Zestyclose_River_601, who found a meteorite had fallen from the sky and landed smack dab in the path for the southern exit of the player’s farm. A screenshot shows them looking at the meteorite from the side, with the meteorite perfectly centered in the exit path. Based on the player’s hotbar, they lack the pickaxe upgrade necessary to break the meteorite and get the valuable materials inside. In other words, they’ll only be able to use the paths near their house to enter and exit the farm, at least until they spend the time and resources necessary to upgrade their pickaxe with Clint

Stardew Valley Fans Commiserate Over Meteorite Problems
Many fans have shared in Zestyclose_River_601’s frustration over this scene, with some reporting that they’ve experienced similar issues. While meteorites can’t land in such a way that a player gets completely trapped on the farm, it’s nonetheless frustrating to lose a shortcut like this. Other players have experienced different headaches with meteorites, like having them destroy prize crops, or even block off the entryway to the farm cave. Since a meteorite can land just about anywhere on the farm, it can potentially show up exactly where it’s most problematic. With only a 1% chance of a meteorite landing in Stardew Valley, some players have likely never seen a meteorite, but based on the number of people experiencing similar incidents, some would probably prefer to never be that “lucky” again.
Thankfully for Zestyclose_River_601, they had already upgraded their pickaxe twice prior to this happening. While the steel pickaxe can’t break the meteorite, they only have one upgrade left to go. The Iridium Ore
that will eventually drop from the meteorite may even end up being a boon, as the valuable material can be used to upgrade Stardew Valley tools even further.
