Repairing the Bridge to Unlock the Ferngill Republic Frontier in Stardew Valley Expanded Joja Run
Repairing that busted bridge and opening the Ferngill Republic Frontier are tonight’s tasks of Joja’s infrastructure division. Tonight we work on collecting all of the materials needed to make the repair. After unlocking the Highlands and Crimson Badlands, it is time to check another unlock off of the list and expand the Joja Expanded Farm. This stream is all about turning one neglected chunk of valley infrastructure into a brand‑new frontier for profit, exploration, and company‑town expansion in our Stardew Valley Expanded Joja run.
Episode 13 | Stardew Valley Joja Expanded | LIVE
In this livestream we’ll:
Gather every material needed to repair the bridge and complete the project live
Walk through the exact unlock steps for the Ferngill Republic Frontier
Evaluate the Frontier as a Joja investment: is this essential infrastructure or vanity project?
Slot this unlock into our wider “Joja Isn’t the Villain” expansion roadmap
🔥 SERIES PREMISE: JOJA ISN’T THE VILLAIN
This SVE save treats Pelican Town as a modern company town under Joja development:
Joja infrastructure vs Community Center tradition – which actually improves life and mobility?
Every big decision filtered through efficiency, scalability, and systems thinking
Light Joja RP layered over real talk about game design, economy, and power in company towns
Tonight we test whether connecting Pelican Town to the Ferngill Republic Frontier is visionary planning… or corporate overreach
🌉 BRIDGE REPAIR – STEP‑BY‑STEP UNLOCK
Turning a gap into a gateway:
Review the full material list for the bridge (wood/stone/hardwood/gold/etc.)
Optimize routes to gather any missing resources quickly and safely
Document the entire process clearly so anyone can replicate it in their own SVE saves
🏗️ JOJA’S FRONTIER DEVELOPMENT PLAN
Folding the new region into our company town:
Compare the ROI of this unlock to other SVE projects we’ve completed
Decide where Frontier development ranks vs Highlands, Crimson Badlands, Ginger Island, and Summit goals
Sketch phase‑one projects: roads, routes, resource loops, and quest priorities
Frame the bridge as part of Joja’s “regional connectivity initiative” – tying remote areas into a centralized economy
If “infrastructure nerdery meets new‑region exploration in a Joja company‑town run” sounds like your thing, hit subscribe, turn on notifications, and come grab a metaphorical Joja shareholder seat. 💙
