WhileStardew Valleyfans will have to dive in to the game post-update to see all the new content, ConcernedApe has teased them with a couple of non-spoiler patch notes. The firstStardew ValleyUpdate 1.6 patch note has revealed that the patch will fix a bug that made it faster to harvest left-to-right than right-to-left. Now both methods will be equally fast. The second patch note shared that the area of effect fordownward-facing melee attacksis being extended. A new patch note is going to be revealed each day leading up toStardew ValleyUpdate 1.6’s release on March 19, so fans have more to look forward to this week.

These quality-of-life tweaks are small on paper, but they should go a long way in improving theStardew Valleyexperience even further. It will be interesting to see what other improvements are coming withStardew ValleyUpdate 1.6. If all goes as planned, the game should be in a much better state than it was pre-patch, which is saying a lot, since many already considerStardew Valleyone of the best games ever made.

Some fans of ConcernedApe’s work may be more interested in his next project,Haunted Chocolatier. OnceStardew ValleyUpdate 1.6 has been released for all platforms and its bugs have been squashed, ConcernedApe will be returning his attentionback toHaunted Chocolatierdevelopment, so updates on that project should start coming at a steadier pace.
