Stardew Valley’s upcoming 1.6 replace lastly launches tomorrow, March 19, and its developer has been prepping us for the event by sharing a spoiler-free line from his patch notes each day. The lead-up to the patch’s launch has been momentous for the devoted Stardew Valley neighborhood, which has endured after a years-long drought of little to no content material, however are transfixed by the sport and its upcoming replace, even with the drip-feed of data they’ve been getting about it. It’s a testomony to the sport ConcernedApe constructed that the sequence of innocuous adjustments he’s introduced haven been met with absolute uproar. He continued his each day transmissions over the weekend and unsurprisingly, the obscure tweaks 1.6 will introduce have set the neighborhood ablaze once more.
ConcernedApe’s two weekend updates included a change to the colour of things akin to jellies, wine, and pickles, in addition to a tweak to how gamers can work together with mayonnaise. The previous replace appears slightly extra sensible: Stardew gamers may craft these things utilizing vegetables and fruit that we establish with their colours, like purple tomatoes or purple grapes. Nevertheless, the sport would churn out the same-colored items whatever the merchandise used to craft them within the first place. Now, gamers who use shade coordination to maintain issues organized can let their neat freak flags fly, since these crafted items now correspond with the colour of their base ingredient.
This shade consistency difficulty appears, on the very least, aligned with the remainder of the updates ConcernedApe has supplied on 1.6 thus far. All of it started with an obscure repair to fruit bushes, earlier than ultimately confirming a long-suspected harvesting idea and a promise to tweak it. Then, the developer addressed a longstanding difficulty with the effectiveness of downward swings with weapons or instruments, and an issue gamers had been having with their in-game pets that always blocked their path. The funniest of all of them focused a glitch that brought about newlywed spouses to spiral into despair in the course of the first week of marriage. Each one of many adjustments ConcernedApe has outlined up to now has been a minor difficulty within the recreation, whereas concurrently being an enormous factor for probably the most zealous gamers. Nevertheless, there was yet another replace supplied that I can’t make sense of.
As of 1.6’s launch tomorrow, Stardew gamers will now have the ability to drink mayonnaise. I’ve been seething since I first learn it. Why? Why would you allow the worst form of individuals? There’s validity to each different line from the patch notes however this one. What fan is that this servicing? What great sick of the sport is that this motion correcting? That is like opening Pandora’s Field, nevertheless it’s a shitty jar of mayo, which is 1,000,000 occasions worse. It’s taking place although, whether or not I prefer it or not, so I assume I needs to be glad for y’all. I received’t be.
Tomorrow’s launch of Stardew’s 1.6 replace will nonetheless be trigger for celebration. The long-awaited patch received’t simply arrive with a bunch of obscure adjustments, it’ll additionally characteristic recent content material. Chief amongst all of it are new dialogue alternatives, one other competition, and secrets and techniques that ConcernedApe has nonetheless not divulged. The replace will even seemingly make the sport simpler to mod, which was the meant objective for 1.6 earlier than the dev began including new content material. As soon as it drops, the developer shall be shifting focus to cell and console ports of the 1.6 patch, in addition to their religious successor, Haunted Chocolatier.
