It’s starting to feel like ConcernedApe (aka Eric Barone) may in fact be a modern day Sisiphus, destined to work onStardew Valleyforever. Following on from the megaupdate of 1.6 a month ago, and1.6.3 soon after that, the hardy perennialfarminggame has a new 1.6.4 mini update. The key addition this time is more new layouts that will appear after you reach the bottom of the mines, and more layouts for the volcano mines too. If you’ve not played Stardew Valley you might wonder why there are deep mines and volcanos, and to you I say “Pah! You should play Stardew Valley.”
1.6.4 also has a lot of bug fixes (including fixing disappearing pets, new pets being a key feature of 1.6) and some balance changes, as well as a host of fixes for modders and modded players. ConcernedApe said early on that 1.6 would be an update for modders, so it’s nice to see that being supported. You can readthe full patch notes here.
PCGameralso notedthat under “other changes” is the reveal that two “inappropriate” names have been added to the exclusion list from the name generator. What could they be? What, at this late stage in the game’s development, could have popped up as inappropes?
Still, one must hope that we’re approaching another period of quiet on the Stardew updates front, if only for Barone - who keeps saying that work will resume onHaunted Chocolatierat some point. What will happen when there are two lovely life sim games to constantly update?
