Eric “ConcernedApe” Barone, the creator of megahit farm builder/RPG Stardew Valley, introduced through Twitter (opens in new tab) that the sport will likely be receiving a 1.6 replace. Although Barone qualifies that it is “principally modifications for modders” and far smaller in scope than 2020’s 1.5 addition, it should have new content material and is a big sufficient challenge that Barone is taking a break from engaged on the upcoming Haunted Chocolatier (opens in new tab) to ship it.
There may be going to be a Stardew 1.6 replace. It is principally modifications for modders (which is able to make it simpler & extra highly effective to mod). However there’s additionally new sport content material, albeit a lot lower than 1.5. I am taking a break from Haunted Chocolatier to work on this for the time being. Then again to HCApril 16, 2023
For added context, the 1.1-5 updates have all featured new content material for Stardew Valley, with 1.5 being virtually a full-on enlargement (opens in new tab), together with high quality of life modifications, a brand new farm, and an enormous extra endgame space. Stardew Valley’s final replace, interval, was 1.5.6 on the finish of 2021, with a number of supplemental hotfixes initially of 2022—that replace was restricted completely to bug fixes, nonetheless.
Barone’s deliberate modifications for modders are additionally fascinating, particularly since Stardew already has a sturdy mod scene (opens in new tab) as it’s. Ease-of-use is one factor, however I am curious as to what skilled modders will have the ability to accomplish with “extra highly effective” instruments. Maybe we’ll witness highly effective new psychic frontiers of messing up your grandpa’s deathbed (opens in new tab).
I would not learn an excessive amount of into the developer’s break from engaged on Haunted Chocolatier—simply as earlier than, it is coming when it is achieved. As for once we can anticipate to see Stardew Valley 1.6, I am unable to think about the wait will likely be overly lengthy.
