Still no update!!!

Is anyone getting as impatient as I am waiting for 1.6?, it's been over 2 years now!

[ChrillBill]

Haven't thought much about it to be honest. It is mostly a modding focused update as well, so nothing too exciting except for mod authors. But CA did mention that there will be some new content as well, though nothing major. And to my understanding, right now there is a big focus on the 1.5 update for mobile. So let's be patient, it will come eventually

ConcernedApe never stated (to my knowledge), that we will definitly see 1.6. So nothing to be impatient about for me.

Incorrect. 1.6 is coming and has been in the works for quite some time.

To be honest... not really.

The last time I played the game, back in late-2017, I decided to start my second playthrough and use a custom farm layout. The game ended up updating near the end of that playthrough and broke the mod (which never got updated), leaving that save partially unplayable. And I was right at the end of the game, about to finish the last couple of bundles and finally complete the Community Center for the first time.

I am now in the middle of my third playthrough of Stardew Valley, currently in mid-Autumn of Year 1, and I'm running a lightly modded game with a new farm layout, the Longevity mod, and some other stuff. If the game held off on updating for a while, so I don't run into that exact same scenario again, I'd be kind of happy about that.

No. Technically speaking, the game is finished. Even has a quasi ending.

Is pretty bug-free too.

The only thing that will be interesting is what the modding community will make with the 1.6 update, since it's focused on moddablity and what it entails for old old mods that no one will make an unofficial update for.

Not every game needs support for forever. It's okay to call a game finished and move on to the next...

[Playzr 🐵]

Have you tried Stardew Valley Expanded mod? It's like a big update. You'd need to start a new game with it though.

i'm waiting for Haunted Chocolatier, guess it'll be more interesting than 1.6

[Sleepy Sylvie]

not really, no. He just finished the 1.5 mobile version and is trying to work on a new game. I'm perfectly fine waiting for it to come when ever it does

Nope.

I'm in the 1.6 alpha and there's not many changes when it comes to gameplay features. There's some bug fixes and some small improvements but it's mostly just an update for mod creators that will help making mods easier.

The only thing I'd love to see is a bug quest. I love collecting bugs in these kinds of games, and considering there's already some variety there, I think that'd be a really fun thing to add that simultaneously wouldn't add too much or be too complicated, but it could hypothetically come with a new event similar to the fishing contest, or even a new occasional vendor character that sells bug related stuff. I wouldn't go as crazy on the AI as the fish; I'd have all bugs act relatively the same, and just have different levels of rarity and season/region exclusive areas to show up in. I don't even want complex animations; a single asymmetrical sprite that flips quickly to simulate movement would be fine for the vast majority. If not that, then at least a camera challenge, where your goal would be to place a character/creature within the camera's "square" in front of the character, and get a little money/lore for every entry. Then seeing birds and frogs and squirrels can have some tension. I love bestiary style things, and a camera quest could be the perfect way to logically catalog everything. Again, having a new character could be a good way to present this, or simply have it as an in-universe social media app similar to instagram that rewards money for good pictures.

Those are my pipe dream hopes. My realistic hopes would be expanded crossplay options with consoles, or at least the ability to import a save from any platform to another. That would be really nice. Better mod integration is exciting though, and if that's all it really entails I'd be fine with it.

OH! And a few more achievements to round out completionist stuff, like having every kind of chicken color, slime color, etc. That may have given too much away when the game was new, but now it would give us an excuse to go back and play a little more.

Just your guess, not officially. ConcernedApe never said that it is going to happen, just that it might happen.

1.6 is official, CA has stated it will be released when it is ready but after 1.5 for mobile which has been released and just being patched at the moment. The relevant mod authors have been kept in the loop and a lot of preparation has already been done for the changes
