Stardew Valley may receive other updates

Stardew Valley may not have completed its evolution process, as developers and in particular author Eric 'ConcernedApe' Barone hinted that there is room for other possible improvements to the game, perhaps with a 1.6 update coming soon. br>
Despite being already busy on Haunted Chocolatier, his new project already announced in recent months, Barone has also hinted that work on Stardew Valley may not be finished. "There is always room for other improvements," said the indie developer, hinting at how other updates may be planned.

On the other hand, we have seen that Stardew Valley has sold an impressive amount of copies , therefore it is right and understandable that the author continues to take care of it, as on the other hand he has done for several years from its original release onwards.

In fact, when the patches 1.5.5 and 1.5.6 were released, Barone had made it clear that the intention was to add new content coming to the game as well, but the update 1.5.6 it only reports some technical adjustments and extended support for mods, so it is possible that there is still new content planned to be added to Stardew Valley, which could thus get a 1.6 update.

"I don't want to make any promises about new updates but I don't even want to say it's all over, ”ConcernedApe said of the possibility of seeing news regarding Stardew Valley. "I think the game is in very good condition as it is, so I don't think we need to add anything else, but on the other hand there is always room for further improvement."

New Stardew Valley update adds support for modders

Stardew Valley on PC has received a new update that adds modding support, quality of life changes, and a few bug fixes for good measure. 


In the patch notes, shared to Steam, the game’s developer 'ConcernedApe', aka Eric Barone, shares what changes have been made to Stardew Valley in the 1.5.5 update and explains that: 'It's a small update, which doesn't add new content, but has some important technical changes for modders, some quality of life changes, and some bug fixes.'  


These technical changes for modders include 'architectural changes' such as migrating the game from XNA 4 to MonoGame, in an effort to futureproof the game by allowing mods to access more than 4GB of RAM - according to Barone in the patch notes. The update also made various internal changes for mod authors, which we’re going to assume is a good thing if you’re an avid Stardew Valley modder. 


The 1.5.5 update also added a number of quality of life changes to Stardew Valley including allowing players to now purchase/craft stacks of 25 items at a time, giving players the ability to nudge pets out of the way while building/moving a building, buy back items accidentally sold in the same shopping session, and more. The full patch notes for the Stardew Valley 1.5.5 update can be found at the bottom of this story.


Another interesting tidbit discovered in the update’s patch notes is a message from Barone which reads: 'A 1.5.6 update is also currently underway. [...] there may be some new content in 1.5.6, too, but it's not going to be anything huge like 1.5.' The Stardew Valley developer must be very busy if they’re already working on another patch, as well as their new game Haunted Chocolatier. Not only this but it is reported that ConcernedApe is also working on another 'new project' besides Haunted Chocolatier. 


In other news, Stardew Valley is coming to Xbox Game Pass today.
