Stardew Valley 1.6 Update – All New Content & Changes REVEALED!

So the stardo valley 1.6 update is finally here it has been released on PC consoles and mobile will have to wait a little bit longer but it is out on PC so we have the full change log and update patch notes right here and it seems like

There is a lot to jump into now this is my very first time looking through these so I’m going to be doing so with you and kind of reacting to all of the new stuff as I’m first seeing it so let’s jump right into this added new festivals and

Events the desert Festival is a free day of event in Spring which can be accessed after the bus is repaired that’s a really cool sounding one I’m glad the desert is getting some more content I honestly didn’t expect that at all I thought the festival would be something

In Spring potentially to add some more early game content but technically this is later game content or I guess midgame content which I think is a really great idea two mini fishing festivals Trout Derby and Squid Fest squid Fest huh reminds me Splatoon new environmental event in summer that’s a fun sounding

One I can’t wait to see what it’s like added a Mastery system access via a new menu which GRS powerful perks and items that sounds like it has a ton of potential to be a really interesting new feature I love that added a new Farm type Meadowlands Farm it has Che blue

Grass that animals love you also starve a c and two chickens so I made a video about this one yesterday I’m so so excited to try this new Farm out I’m definitely going to have to start up on this new Farm because you know it’s a

New Farm type you got to love it so I’m really excited to check out all of the different perks for actually getting that one and to see what it actually looks like because I haven’t seen this yet at all added many new NPC dialogues that includes custom gift reactions

Dynamic dialogues which react to things that happened custom flower dance acceptance dialogue restored missing dialogue like Emily and Shane’s flower dance custom accept dance dialogues when married to the player Shane’s dialogue when browsing the saloon vending machine Lewis congratulating female Farmers after their wedding a line in maru’s 14

Hard event three dialogues from Sam related to Kemp two randomized dialogues when an NPC buys an item you sold to a shop two speech bubbles for M mani and Robin when you enter their shop building and a fortune teller dialogue for your potential spouse loads of new dialogue

That is a fantastic update we all love the dialogue in stardo Valley so it’s great to see that get a significant update in this way and lots of very specific New pieces of dialogue here which I think will go a long way in making these characters feel even more

Deep I guess so that’s really cool you can now get multiple pets after getting Max hot your starter pet I love that especially with the updates that we’ve seen to pets not only in this update that concern ape already confirmed but things like adding hats to them I’m so

Happy we can get more pets I wonder if it’s just one more or not I guess we’ll have to find out soon added a world map for ginger Island visible when visiting the island the world map now shows your actual position within the world in real

Time instead of showing you at a fix point for each location in multiplayer you’ll see other positions in real time too what a great quality of life update I feel like concern a did tease this one a while back but yeah great to see this pet I love you will sometimes give you

Gifts that’s so cool I love it I’m wondering what those gifts are going to be and it’s really strange to think of your pet giving you a gift but hey I guess sometimes pets do do that although it’s usually in the form of other dead animals so hopefully that’s not what

They’re doing NPCs now have winter outfits another one concern ape did confirm early on love to see it festivals now have a map and dialogue changes every second year except the night market and desert Festival added a golden Jojo parot which you can pay to find all the remaining golden walnuts on

Ginger Island added Perfection waivers a new JoJo way to by far certain Perfection challenges added a prize machine in Louis’s house you can now collect prize tickets as a reward for completing quests and special orders and from repeated egg Ice Festival wins that’s really cool so it gives another

Reason to continue playing these festivals when I think it’s fair to say a lot of us kind of just skip them once we get to a certain point and there’s nothing really new I’m really curious what these prizes will be I can’t wait to find out that’s a great little update

A book seller now comes to town twice a season that’s so cool I wonder what they’re going to look like and what books are going to do that’s going to be interesting unless it is literally the books we do currently get maybe that’s what it is I don’t know with the money

Coming twice a season it makes me feel like it would be something new so we’ll have to wait and see added mystery boxes added a big tree with a quest line that ultimately gives you new neighbors new neighbors that’s so cool I’ve been waiting to see some new neighbors

Especially after we got one with the the 1.5 update so that’s great to hear added four new crops carrots suers squash broccoli and powder melon which can’t be purchased at the store and two new giant crops we didn’t have carrots why does that feel like a

Mandela effect to me I I I could have sworn we had carrots but I guess not they’re finally here added four new home renovations dining room attic expanded Corner Room and a cubby oh my God this update is adding so much more than I could have possibly expected there’s

Just some really huge exciting things in here I’m I’m so excited about this added new items big chest which has almost a double the size of a regular chest it can also be placed onto a regular chest to upgrade it dehydrator which turns fruit into dried fruit and mushroom into

Dried mushrooms mushroom log which produces mushrooms and interacts with nearby trees bait maker which can produce fish specific baits heavy furnace which can now process more bars at a time and yield bonus bars fish smoker which produce smoked fish doubling the value of the fish you get

Grants a random blessing each day interesting statue of the dwarf King which allows you to select one or two one of two mining Buffs a day 10 kits which allow you to build a 10 which can be slept in for one night that’s that’s so cool treasure totems which spawn a

Through all of these and I know the majority of people won’t be as interested in these so I will leave a link to the patch notes in the video description if you want to read the full thing but yeah overall my thoughts are this is an incred incredible update I’m

So happy that we’ve got an update that just focuses on improving every aspect of the game which this has definitely done there’s also some great new content in here to enjoy but it’s clear the main bulk of this update is just improving what we already have and I think that’s

Fantastic the 1.5 update gave us masses and masses of new content and don’t get me wrong this one is giving us a ton too like way more than I could have ever expected but I’m so happy to see all these quality of life improvements and visual changes and such it’s so great
