Light the fireplace and collect spherical, younger’uns. Eric “ConcernedApe” Barone has stumbled in on this chilly November’s eve, bearing items to enhance the approaching yr’s harvest. Stardew Valley‘s long-anticipated 1.4 update is finally here, a massive free renovation touching every last plank, grain and villager in the valley. We’ve been teasing out particulars for ages, so let’s take a whole have a look at the replace that brings “a whole new level of polish” to the cosy crop grower at the moment.
Now shut that door, you’re letting the warmth out.
It’s been a very long time coming although, hasn’t it? Over the previous few months, the scope of 1.four has expanded as we’ve been drip-fed new options arriving with the replace. Among many, many others, at the moment’s replace provides fishponds, personal banking in multiplayer and a brand new four-player Four Corners map. There’s even an arousing new way to spice up married life with a brand new 14-heart relationship occasion, plus a pleasant new hotkey for snapping a pic of your whole farm in a single go.
Of course, at the moment’s release announcement revealed much more. Shed interiors can now be doubled in measurement. Jumino Cart, a side-scrolling platformer I didn’t even know existed, has been utterly reworked. 60 new objects have been added to the game, alongside 24 new hairstyles, 181 new shirts, 35 new hats, 14 new pants (trousers, please), and a couple of new boots.
Barone wasn’t kidding when he unofficially referred to as this the “everything” replace. No a part of the farm has been left untouched. There are some pretty new quality-of-life options – easy issues like having the ability to tab via stock rows, or hovering over objects to see in the event that they’re wanted in group bundles. You can now monitor all of the letters you’ve been despatched by way of the collections tab.
There are loads of little adjustments like that, wherever Barone “felt that the game had some holes or weak points that could use a little boost”. It’s a doozy of an replace, and I’d be right here all day if I went via all of it. You can peruse the total changelist over on the Stardew Valley 1.4 patch notes.
That obtained you in an actual farmin’ temper? 1.four went dwell at the moment, and Stardew Valley is at the moment 10% off on Steam and GOG for £9.89/€12.59/$13.49.
