Stardew Valley1.6 update It’s finally here—and it’s bigger than any of us expected. Developer Eric “ConcernedApe” Barone has been coy about some of the bigger features the update will introduce, teasing a festival and some new dialogue, but more or less The land remained for a long time.They did share some spoiler-free lines in the week leading up to today’s release Patch Notes One day is the cycle.These seem Minor technical Variety received warm applause from all sides stardew communities, but they are just the tip of the iceberg. Now that the day has arrived, ConcernedApe has released the full patch notes, and boy, is there a lot going on here.
First, ConcernedApe lied.when he first mentioned What’s new in 1.6, he said a “major” festival is being added, which we now know is a three-day desert festival that takes place after players fix their buses in the spring. What he failed to mention is that 1.6 will also add two smaller fishing festivals, the Trout Derby and the Squid Festival, as well as additional “summer environmental ‘events.'” All festivals (except Night Market and Desert Festival) will now also receive map and dialogue changes after every two years.
After teasing a bunch of smaller ones. Mechanical As well as bug fixes throughout the week, ConcernedApe announces 1.6 drip update Important new features: Grass farm type with “Chewy Bluegrass”. This beginner-friendly farm type, which starts with a chicken coop and two chickens, is now available to players at the start of the game.There’s also a new “Mastery System” accessible through a whole new area, so add that to the ever-growing list of unexpected new additions stardew1.6 update.
One of the updates ConcernedApe delivered last week was that players will be able to Get to know their beloved pets step by step (who often block their way) are much faster in 1.6, but it turns out that’s not the only adjustment pets are getting. Starting with 1.6, players can now have multiple pets, which is convenient since the patch also introduced turtle pets as well as new breeds of cats and dogs available for adoption. Players’ favorite pets can now also return gifts to their owners, and in return, players can now give their cats and dogs hats.
One of the early promises about 1.6 was that it would offer new dialogue, and I can now confirm that a ton of it has been added stardew. NPCs now have custom gift reactions, dynamic dialogue that reacts to things around them, custom dialogue when accepting a flower dance, and even some previously missing dialogue has been restored to the game.
Let’s summarize some of the main changes:
- PC lobbies can now support up to 8 players, and stability has been improved across the board.
- The world map will now show your exact location rather than a fixed point based on your area.
- A large number of new items have been added, but there are too many to reasonably list here.
- There are four new houses being renovated.
- Now, a bookseller comes to town twice every season.
- Adjustments have been made to Ginger Island to include a world map for the location and a golden parrot to help players find the golden walnuts there.
- A big tree will apparently lead to a whole new side quest.
- More crops, including carrots and broccoli.
- Y’all, I have way too much to fit in here.
I think it’s safe to say that 1.6 was updated to stardew It’s much richer than expected, and even calling it an update or patch understates its magnitude.It’s actually essentially a DLC or expansion that not only over-delivers in terms of content, but seems to polish up the game and make a bunch of changes for modders who will make sure the game is live for the next few releases. Got a development year, and ConcernedApe returned to full-time development The haunted chocolatier (and port updates to other platforms)
