A wierd Stardew Valley bug makes names magical

An uncommon bug has been found in feel-good farming sport Stardew Valley, and developer Eric Barone has determined that he gained’t be patching it out. The excellent news is that it’s really useful, and also you’re nearly actually by no means going to come back throughout it until you search it out.

The bug in query, observed by IGN, is an exploit. If you title your character or pets after the ID variety of an merchandise, every time an NPC mentions you by title, that merchandise will spawn in your stock. If, as an example, you’re all about jade and may’t get sufficient of it, title your character ‘[70]’ and also you’ll get a stunning reward of jade every time anybody makes use of your unusual and unique title.

“I am aware of it, but I don’t think I want to fix it,” Barone mentioned. “It’s not game-breaking, it’s kind of amusing, and the likelihood that someone would randomly stumble upon it is extremely low. So I feel like it’s okay to leave it, and actually kind of fun.”

Barone additionally gave IGN an inventory of codes that can be utilized, and you could find all of them here.

It’s not an exploit that I fancy utilizing, since I couldn’t dwell with myself if I gave my poor farmer a numerical title. He’s not a cog within the machine! He’s an individual! But in case you don’t actually care about what folks name your character, then cheat away. It gained’t be going wherever.

While you’re right here, why not additionally try my favorite piece of writing on the sport, Paul Dean’s ‘A year in Stardew Valley’. It is excellent.
