Biggest Changes in Stardew Valley 1.6 Update | Quality of Life Showcase

[@taliaghoul]

Just added in 1.6.3 update that you can now have Clint open geodes when he is upgrading your tools.

[@SpellThiefGames]

That is SUCH a good change and wow 24 hours and my video already irrelevant 😂😂

[@NicoTheMilkman]

1.6.3 update?? I Only have the 1.6.2 patch.

[@Koltsovaa]

and I mean you dont need any coal to break geodes by yourself, it was definitely what I noticed first :D

[@Meinyan28]

it's already 1.6.3 update ??

[@SpellThiefGames]

I think 1.6.3 is in the works but not live yet all! Its the next one coming

[@Shinigami344]

I think the new interaction with a horse is that you can feed it with a carrot

[@SpellThiefGames]

Oooohh that makes too much sense that is one item I don’t have yet even though it’s not rare lol

[@lunarhexagon8108]

ye, and do anyone know if it has any effect on horse? as far I seen, it only then shows carrot icon in animal list

[@oldvlognewtricks]

@@lunarhexagon8108It has a special animation. Unsure if it does anything else.

[@ceciict]

@@lunarhexagon8108no, nothing happens except for the animation

[@demoige7948]

Someone said, that the horse gets a little speed buff when fed with a carrot. I didn't check it by myself yet.

[@ignor_]

about eating mayo - there is actually a reaction from NPCs when you eat it in front of them, like "Did you just?.."

[@SpellThiefGames]

That is epic 😂😂

[@JasmineMoller-fs8em]

Leah just said "why????"

[@MedorraBlue]

@@JasmineMoller-fs8em Oh my gosh that's amazing 😂

[@sergey_molchanovsky]

While honey is still inedible...

[@usernametaken017]

​@@sergey_molchanovskyI wouldn't recommend you to eat an entire bottle of honey

[@quaintpaint]

I really like how you edited this straight to the point! I appreciate the detailed timestamps as well

[@SpellThiefGames]

Thank you for the kind words! This is one of the first time I have used time stamps so I’ll keep doing that!

[@mlp-violet-star]

The pause menu where the wallet used to be also reminds you who you got for Winter Star

[@SpellThiefGames]

Yes!! I meant to put that in this video I saw that and felt so much joy 😂 I hope everyone sees this. So helpful

[@jadenfoxx9159]

I've struggled with this every year following the first. I'm so glad there's a shortcut for it now

[@Lou-yq2xs]

This was always there! You could check the letters you recived

[@2000seoulsonyosound]

I was scared the first time i saw it, i was like why is Pam in my goddamn menu ??

[@mlp-violet-star]

@2000seoulsonyosound For me it was Kent. I was confused at first, until I checked my letter again.

[@Hypnos3GG]

The more I play 1.6, the more I appreciate every little things added to it. ConcernedApe is so awesome!

[@SpellThiefGames]

I agree he is so thoughtful and good to us 🥹

[@H-o-r-s-ei]

Huge props to ConcernedApe for really listening to the fans :) ‼️🐐

[@ishanchegu]

He actually does that a lot. It may not be apparent. But the updates we got from 1.5 and 1.6 are all based on mods that were downloaded the most as quality of life improvements. For example the enchants on pickaxe being faster was a change because many people can't do animation cancelling. This and so many more over the last 2 updates show that he puts himself in the players shoes and tries to make it more fun/less tedious for the players. Really impressive that he takes so much effort to do so.

[@SpellThiefGames]

Appreciate that about him

[@brenda0006]

How does this not have more views! I genuinely thought I was watching a video by a big creator until I closed out of fullscreen! Great video! One of the only ones I've seen that are both super informative but don't actually have very many spoilers at all. Keen to see what else you come out with :)

[@SpellThiefGames]

Thank you so much for saying so! I’m glad you found it helpful I put my heart and soul into this haha ❤️

[@Mooner_9]

The Big chests are really really an S+ Tier QOL 8 Big chests with a work bench is a solid setup Very helpful in early game also very helpful who love to collect all types of fishes of all 4 qualities

[@SpellThiefGames]

Heck yeah! Going to talk about those in my next video I am LOVING THEM

[@laynebroussard8468]

The update pathing thing is like Vincent used to have this path where he’d walk through a bush than a fence and up a wall to get to the playground

[@SpellThiefGames]

What in the pelican town parkour is that 😂 that is hillarious

[@ishanchegu]

​@@SpellThiefGamesfollowing in his brothers footsteps or rather skatesteps 😂

[@astrobabeyyy]

villagers will also react to u eating mayo in front of them :3

[@SpellThiefGames]

That is such a good Easter egg LOL

[@Jack-kx5rf]

Fingers crossed for better Tea Set RNG.

[@cinarynroll]

SAME😂

[@SpellThiefGames]

Have been to 17 winter star festivals… 0 tea sets and mostly clay tbh haha

[@SpellThiefGames]

That is SO lucky haha

[@bncrain]

Take heart! After ~20 winter star festivals over multiple playthroughs where I never once got a tea set, I got it from Gus on my very first winter playing with the 1.6 patch!

[@Raziel_HHL]

is it just a rare item or does it have any actual use?

[@trontoni]

1:56 This QoL is mainly for fixing the iridium scythe melee range. before, when you use scythe to harvest mod, it was impossible to get the middle 4x4 hops. now with the range extended a little bit, it is possible to get all crops within 4x4 hops

[@SpellThiefGames]

Excellent point!

[@michaelmuliadi6088]

Thanks for the summar! Even when I play with mods, I can never stop appreciating all the cool changes on vanilla. Most of them coexist with mods anyway so it's win-win

[@SpellThiefGames]

I agree I love how interchangeable everything is!

[@kahanii333]

I just found your channel and really love it!! So glad to have more quality Stardew content

[@SpellThiefGames]

Thank you so much! Still working on the “quality” part but Stardew content for sure haha. Glad to have you

[@jakeymaine]

another change is evelyn now likes the broken sunglasses as a gift

[@SpellThiefGames]

What if in 1.7 we got to forge broken sunglasses into chic new glasses for her 🥹🥹

[@carmenbell2968]

This was the EXACT video I was looking for in every way thank you so much!!!

[@SpellThiefGames]

Glad it was helpful! Made one for balance changes too if you like ☺️

[@zerodeconduite804]

This was a very informative video. Thank you! I have minor wants: 1. Widen the door to the farmhouse, at least to match the staircase. 2. An alternative method of picking up/moving furniture. 3. Dump all contents into a chest 😁 I do not decorate my house because I don't want to be trying to access a machine or the fridge and all of a sudden have a couch or painting in my hotbar.

[@SpellThiefGames]

Thanks for sharing and I like those ideas!

[@ReBrandedd]

9:30 the new interaction is horse being able to eat a carrot

[@SpellThiefGames]

The horse does a lot of work getting me around they deserve it 🥹

[@eonoire]

Oh my god you bookmarked it😂😭that's so much work

[@SpellThiefGames]

😂😂 took AGES

[@100levelz]

This vid is amazing, thank you so much for making it 💜

[@SpellThiefGames]

Thank you for watching I’m glad it was enjoyable!

[@Kraiglyndor]

I heard that you can feed your horse a carrot to increase their speed for he rest of the day, that’s probably the mysterious interaction.

[@SpellThiefGames]

That is unreal and so cute 🥹

[@elephaalice]

super helpful vid !!!! thank u for ur effort !! :DD

[@SpellThiefGames]

You are welcome thank you for watching !!

[@ieatbookz]

i noticed something cute the other day. i rummaged through a trash can in front of linus and it made him smile :3

[@SpellThiefGames]

Oh we love Linus and love that interaction!

[@Revna_Engel]

Great video! I love the fact that we can make vinegar now as well.

[@SpellThiefGames]

Yes! Thank you!

[@katjosephperez8772]

I just started my 1.6 game with a Beach Farm and a black cat. That cat looks cute as hell on the beach 💗 I won the egg hunt and plopped the hat right on that lil guy

[@SpellThiefGames]

Love that! Hope it’s coming along very nicely

[@kmlcor1]

The thought of placing a torch (a flame) on a sprinkler is cracking me up

[@SpellThiefGames]

😂😂 I literally never thought of that haha

[@Jasonrak123]

Buying materials at robins will never be the same!

[@josephdragunov374]

The option to change the design of the farmhouse should have been implemented

[@stumbling_]

[@HannahSwift-si9kb]

There is a new inteaction when you click on the logo for CA at the start it turns green and junumos appear where the wording was know someone else will frind this but just wnated to share so people here can see it

Concerned ape is a god that I will forever worship ❤😂

[@SpellThiefGames]

Right hahaha

[@TheFlashzap]

10:21 this would’ve been good last year WHEN I HAD 36 PIGS

[@SpellThiefGames]

😂😂

[@TheFlashzap]

@@SpellThiefGames seriously 36 diggity dang pigs each set of 3 pigs named with various vowels in their names, for example Porkchop, Porkchip, Porkchep and my favorite “Porkchap” and each one needed to be painstakingly dragged to the barns at the freaking bottom of the farm which took well over 40mins

[@ieatbookz]

i only started playing stardew a few days after this update dropped and i can’t even imagine playing without some of these mechanics 😳

[@ieatbookz]

i’m also very grateful they added a black cat. i even named my farm “Black Cat Farm.”

[@SpellThiefGames]

I know some of them too good hey

[@AnnikaHerzLP]

I knew it!! my cat suddenly gave me fish!! My first thought was.. no way, he didn´t... xd

[@SpellThiefGames]

Haha it was such a shock the first time. I have only got bone fragments from my dog so a fish sounds nice lol

[@AnnikaHerzLP]

I could bet the cat gives you all possible fish. I got river fish and crabpot fish. who knows maybe the dogs can dig out fragments and bone artifacts?@@SpellThiefGames

[@SpellThiefGames]

It sounds like you are right from what I have seen! Makes sense I suppose hhaa

[@godemperorofmankind5874]

I hope the Dev would add updates about the children being helpful. Like, them growing up to help you around the farm. It's ok if they reach only at the age of 18 (IG timeline). Also, adding the wife or Husband NPC's helping you out in the farm too and more.

[@SpellThiefGames]

100000%

[@mikec4390]

Regarding 71, cabins also no longer need materials to build, just the gold.

[@SpellThiefGames]

Thank goodness for that haha

[@EighmyLupin]

I didn't even know clothes were gendered in the first place. Like I'm positive I've seen people put their male character in skirts before.

[@SpellThiefGames]

I thought so too… was shocked to see that in the list!

[@slwrabbits]

There were a few shirts that had male and female variants. I think that is what the change is referring to. Skirts have been available for everyone, though.

[@meisterl0]

Even tho first played it on pc back in 1.2 I think, the news that we got 1.6 now on a easy access mobile device, got me coming back, I have so much to catch up on 😅

[@Mystic-Midnight]

Oh i thought sword changes were the southern swing hitbox got extended cause before it matched up with the blade itself but was perceived as short when it was the same distance

[@SpellThiefGames]

I could be wrong but when testing it I felt I had more space when swinging south but I could be delusional lol

[@Mystic-Midnight]

@@SpellThiefGames I think before the hitbox lined up with the sword model and now it's slightly longer when facing downwards but I skimmed the patch notes

First, I accidentally saw a wild skunk like animal at night around the town's bushes when i was going home and then at the 2nd year hollow's eve i saw the dwarf hiding at the back at the bushes at the mountain side near of community center, I'm curious of what will the dwarf say if you use a cheat to get near him.

It's a bug / oversight that some people would get. You marry them at 10 hearts, but a spouse can have up to 13, I think. The day after you marry them, they suddenly have "minimum hearts" with you, and that made them upset because the game thinks you were neglecting them.
