The long-awaited Stardew Valley update 1.6 is finally here, and with it comes a long list of exciting new features for our farmers to explore. While solo developer Eric “ConcernedApe” Barron initially intended patch 1.6 of this indie gem to be fairly minor, the final update brought everything from a new farm type to crafting recipes and seasonal festivals. Whether you’re looking to bond with the villagers or live a quiet life tending to your crops in Stardew Valley, version 1.6 probably has something fun in store for you.
La Ferme des Presentes brings stunning turquoise pastures to dedicated animal lovers, with its luscious fields of blue grass and free chickens to get you started. City lovers and romance enthusiasts, a new honeymoon with update 1.6 is here to ensure a happy start to every young marriage. If you’re less interested in love and more devoted to your hard farming work and the products that come from it, everything in the game is now more organized with an improved ingredient-based color coding system for products like jellies, juices, pickles. and wine.
There are two new “mini” festivals to enjoy, as well as a festival that ConcernedApe describes as a “main”, perhaps comparable to the beloved Stardew Valley Fair and Spirit Festival. Thanks to the patch, you can enjoy all these events with up to seven of your friends as multiplayer now supports eight people on the same farm. In addition to the farm map, festivals and everything in between, version 1.6 also brings skill tree expansion and new end-game content. Yes, there are new endgame options for JojaCorporation fans who choose to follow Morris.
