Like any Sandrock-style farming sim, inventory management is a core element of the experience, and Disney Dreamlight Valley similarly features a backpack system with limited slots. During one's adventure, players will collect many items, ranging from apples and tomatoes to gems and magical crystals. Unfortunately, despite having almost two-dozen available backpack slots from the start of the game, the inventory screen will become full relatively quickly. Of course, players could sell their items to Goofy or store resources in their homes, but such measures for freeing up space can become inconveniently tedious.
In the indie farming sim Stardew Valley, players could visit the local grocery store to purchase a larger backpack that offered expanded inventory slots for storing more items. On the other hand, Disney Dreamlight Valley features a system akin to My Time at Sandrock. While backpacks are offered at the clothing store in the Valley, these apparel accessories primarily serve as cosmetics and not functioning bags. Instead, players can expand their inventory within the backpack screen by spending the world's currency, Star Coins. If Dreamlight Valley players have enough Star coins, they can increase the number of slots.
Thanks to a video demonstration provided by YouTube content creator TagBackTV, players can see that the backpack upgrade to 35 inventory in Disney Dreamlight Valley costs 20,000 Star Coins. Of course, in the end-game, such a price is mere pennies to player wallets, but 20k is a massive amount of money for beginners. Nevertheless, it is an investment that is well worth undertaking, especially if players plan to farm, forage or fish for most of their playtime.
How To Upgrade Backpack Inventory In Disney Dreamlight Valley
Fortunately, TagBackTV also provides money-making advice in the same video mentioned above. One of the fastest ways to earn Star Coins for upgrading one's inventory in Disney Dreamlight Valley is by farming Carrots and Tomatoes. Carrots are one of the first crops available to the protagonist from Goofy's shop near the player's home in this cozy farming sim. Tomatoes can be unlocked later after gaining access to the beach in the Valley. Nonetheless, both vegetables are highly profitable compared to their seed price.
Moreover, if Disney Dreamlight Valley players have their favorite Villager tag along as they cultivate and harvest their crops, the NPC will occasionally harvest the produce, producing bonus crop yield. Players can repeat this farming process several times within a few hours to earn thousands of Star Coins, which will eventually be more than enough to increase inventory space in Disney Dreamlight Valley.
