If you’ve ever thought that gathering crops in Stardew Valley is much faster in one instructions than another, recognition is at hand. The cherished farming sim’s developer has actually validated that the long-rumoured peculiarity is genuine, as its inbound 1.6 upgrade prepares to repair a bug going back nearly a years.

Eric ‘ConcernedApe’ Barone dropped the information on TwiXXer as part of a continuous tease of spot notes and functions for Stardew Valley’s huge 1.6 upgrade, which will bring expanded assistance for modders, eight-player co-op and a brand-new significant celebration (plus 2 smaller sized ones), amongst brand-new products like a larger chest and some fresh tricks to look for, when it shows up on March 19th.

Detailing a few of the more behind-the-scenes modifications in current days, Barone exposed that 1.6 will see dropped trees now yield saplings that match the fruit quality of more fully grown trees, which will likewise develop much faster based upon the quality level. (Making it much easier to replant trees and have them return to their previous maturity.)

Being fine-tuned is fight, with swinging a sword downward now having actually an increased area-of-effect to bypass the initial choice to match its variety with the animation that left gamers at a drawback. Other modifications consist of cutting in half the quantity of time you require to invest pressing versus a family pet before having the ability to stroll through them and including a one-week “honeymoon” duration for NPCs you wed that stops them right away investing all the time in bed sensation unfortunate.

The most significant discovery, nevertheless, was available in a relatively harmless spot note that verified what lots of gamers (and speedrunners) had actually believed for several years: collecting crops in one specific instructions is much faster than another.

(Well identified, Kotaku.) Update 1.6 will lastly repair the bug, increasing the speed of the right-to-left animation to make gathering in either instructions similarly quick.

There’ll no doubt be a lot more such information in upgrade 1.6 when it lands next week, which Barone advises you experience with a fresh conserve to see all that it provides. It’ll still work with your existing video game if you can’t bear to provide up your many hours invested in organizing your garden and courting townsfolk.
