Relaxed players rejoice! Stardew ValleyThe long-awaited 1.6 update finally arrived on PC on Tuesday, adding a laundry list of new content for fans of the beloved farming simulator. These include pets wearing hats, large boxes, and the chance of giving birth to a baby.

Developer Eric “ConcernedApe” Barone has been teasing me Stardew ValleyNew update for a while, saying in January that it has become “A slightly larger scope than originally planned.” This month he posted several lines of patch notes on Twitter/X in the days leading up to the release, starting with the introduction to the release The new livestock-focused Meadowlands RanchTo give farmers the ability to do so Drink mayonnaise.

As befits Stardew ValleyGiven Barone’s laid-back reputation, Barone seemed to be taking a relaxed approach to the update release. Although it was expected to arrive on March 19, no specific time has been set, with Baron saying only: “Once a [sic] “I wake up, I drink coffee, there’s no last minute problem, I’ll press the button.”

As such, his Twitter/X post stating that he was making coffee on Tuesday morning received a flood of excited responses.

Among the addition of new festivals, events, and the Mastery system, some of the most interesting changes have been included Full patch notes Includes:

• “A large tree has been added, with a quest line that will eventually give you some new neighbors.”

• “Four new crops have been added (Carrots, Summer Squash, Broccoli, and Powdered Watermelon).”

• “Added a jingling sound when running while wearing the Cinderella Clown Shoes.”

• “The couple now has a seven-day ‘honeymoon’ period after marriage, which prevents them from having to lie in bed all day due to discomfort.”

• “Constant invisible husbands asking to have children.”

Many new elements have also been added, such as:

• “Large chest, which is about twice the size of a regular chest.”

• “The dehydrator, which turns fruit into dried fruit and mushrooms into dried mushrooms.”

• “Mushroom log, which produces mushrooms and interacts with nearby trees.”

• “A fish smoker who produces smoked fish doubles the value of the fish.”

• “19 unique books of power, which grant special privileges.”

• “Raisins, which have a special use.”

• “Butterfly powder, which allows you to remove pets…”

Barron’s did not provide any additional details on exactly what the “special use” raisins contain, nor how the butterfly powder “removes pets.” But this omission doesn’t seem entirely sinister.

Stardew Valley It also has several pet-related updates, such as the ability to get more once you reach max affection with your first pet. Pets that love you will sometimes give you gifts, which will hopefully be more useful than the dead mice your real cat brings you. You can now have turtles as pets too, if cats and dogs aren’t enough to satisfy you.

Unfortunately for reptile lovers, pet turtles seem to have minor drawbacks. while Stardew ValleyUpdate 1.6 now lets players put hats on cats and dogs, and the Turtles appear to be excluded from this bright new world of clothing experiences. What’s worse is that 25 new hats have also been added to the game, increasing the number of hats the Turtles can’t wear.

Another corrective note that has received a lot of attention relates to parenting. Specifically, “the child now has the opportunity to criticize.”

In video games, the word “crit” is commonly used as shorthand for “critical hit”, and refers to when an attack increases damage beyond what is normal. in Stardew ValleyIn this game, players can strengthen their bond with their babies by throwing the infant into the air and catching them – the baby throw. As such, it would be reasonable to assume that “embarrassment” in this context may give an additional impetus to the emerging parent-child relationship.

However, the wording used led to many jokes Stardew Valley Allow people with young children.

Although the 1.6 patch notes are quite long, they are not comprehensive. Barron said on Twitter/X “There are many things that are not explicitly mentioned in the patch notes,” Which means there are more surprises for fans to uncover for themselves. However, he doesn’t seem inclined to spoil it.
