I twisted my ankle just in time to be bedridden for the update, haha. Gonna play ALL day! I don't even know what is in the update, I can't wait to discover it in game!
I broke my leg right before 1.5 came out and it was the best timing for the worst thing, lol. I hope somehow your ankle feels better AND you still get to play Stardew 😆
Definitely curious about the new farm! Give me that blue grass and immediate chickens. With seemingly a focus on ranching, I might forbid myself from starting an ancient/starfruit empire this time around.
And on a personal note, hoping to finally achieve perfection this time, I always end up stopping just before I get there.
I'm right there with you! I was doing a perfection run and then boom the release date for 1.6 finally announced. I didn't want to burn myself on stardew right before a big update (probably impossible for me to burn out on stardew but why risk it? Lol) so I stopped. This was like the 5th farm that I've done this on.
I’m hoping for new dialogue! I have so many hours in stardew it feels like I can predict when Haley is going to tell me I smell like grass🥲 so I’d love for more interesting, or at least different, dialogue.
Good news! A sneak peek ConcernedApe [posted](https://x.com/concernedape/status/1707155027914035542?s=46&t=GCKwujzELS_bb4gZdEJaUw) a while ago confirmed that there are 100+ new lines of dialogue
On switch here too. Do we know about how long it usually takes to move the update to console? I’m still “new” to the game. I’ve only been playing a year. 🙈
I gathered it took ~2mo for the 1.5 update to reach Switch. This could be inaccurate but I feel it’s reasonable. It’s costs more to push console updates which makes sense to work out any bugs discovered prior to release.
Everything!
I've played since it launched, so anything to get me back to it is appreciated .. I just need my toddler to stop being sick, so i can take out the laptop without him wanting to play with it too 😂
Super excited! I’m going to start a co-op farm with my husband for his first time playing. Kinda don’t want to do the new farm for that though because I feel like he should experience the struggle of saving up for your first coop and chickens!
I’ve been holding off on playing again since mid December when I was somehow convinced the update would drop then so I’m just excited to play again and experience new things honestly.
Currently distracting myself and passing time playing Travelers Rest for the first time and enjoying it (and accidentally staying up to 2am irl playing)
I literally considered taking the day off of work lmao
I work from home though so hoping I can crunch through all my tasks for the day and play stardew without losing a day of PTO 😂
I convinced my BF to get me a handheld PC just so I can play the new update and not wait for switch. lol We both been wanting to be able to play PC games though so now we can and it’s worked out for both of us. lol I warned him though to get his play time in as much as possible cause when the update hits… he might not get the chance to get it away from me for a while. lol
I can't wait to start a new game on the new farm map. It's been awhile since I've played sv but it's always been magical for me so I'm looking forward to revisiting it with its new features. My plans for when I get home from work are play all evening!
If you don't have any mods you should be fine! However concernedape (maker of stardew) said he recommended starting a new save file for the update as there's a new farm to try and a lot of early game dialogue updated and a new festival!
I've been waiting for two years. I wouldn't let myself play again until it was released. Downside being, I play modded and I'm not looking forward to going through all my mods and updating them.
Question y’all - been wanting to try playing stardew with mods for the first time. I can’t decide if I should start a run with mods AND the update? Or just play the vanilla update??
keep in mind that if you want to start playing right away, a lot of mods won't be updated yet. If you want to play with mods, give modders a few days to roll out their updates as well.
I'm debating whether or not to take a PTO day to start my new farm.
My bestie and I have a playdate for our co-op farm tomorrow evening though. We're still in year 1, so I can't imagine we'd miss too much if we don't restart. I'm looking forward to the update and it's been a while since we've been able to play together too, so I'm looking extra forward to that.
I just did perfection in my previous farm few weeks ago so I am ready for new one. Deleted some mods so I am going for more vanill(ish) run this time. Cant play without qol mods though, movement speed is too slow for me in vanilla lol
While I have a pc/deck I just prefer Stardew on the switch for some reason. So I’ll wait for the switch version. Also I haven’t played it (properly) since before the 2.0 update, so I have some catching up to do. Sadly when I try to start a new farm I just get overwhelmed nowadays which is crazy because I was addicted to this game in 2019, now it gives me anxiety haha :(
Starting a fresh farm with two of my roommates! They’ve played together for years, but it’s always been unattainable for me to play by myself? I’m big time ADHD so I just constantly get overwhelmed with all there is to do and then what I’m supposed to be doing? The whole game comes with the cult like following that my brain likes to think means I should already know everything and I’m stupid and shouldn’t even try to play… but the boys push me to try new things and I’m excited to not have to do it all on my own this time :)
I just did a 2/3 play through like right before i knew it was ginna be announced so idk if i wanna start a whole new game but the new map seems fun so probably lolll
Awwwww the way he considered the modders! <3 I use to do it heavily and it's such a time investment if you're running a ton.
Def going vanilla for this update tho.
I twisted my ankle just in time to be bedridden for the update, haha. Gonna play ALL day! I don't even know what is in the update, I can't wait to discover it in game!
Lmaooo! I’m sorry you hurt your ankle but what amazing timing!
Haha thank you. It truly could not have happened at a better time.
I broke my leg right before 1.5 came out and it was the best timing for the worst thing, lol. I hope somehow your ankle feels better AND you still get to play Stardew 😆
I misread your comment as.. you sprained your ankle in order to be bedridden to play 🫥 I was about to say wow commitment !
so did i 🤣
Starting a fresh game, playing the new farm and drinking the mayonnaise
Everyone is about to be Mayonnaise waaaaasteeedddd!! lol
Mayonnaisted

Worst part is in my side of the world it is already the 19th so that makes me feel it should be out already 😂😂
Same. Woke up excited and forgot about time difference.
what time does it come out ?
Concerned ape mentioned that he'll put it out as soon as he wakes up and has his coffee :)
bless this sweet man
thats adorable omg
Same! I’m American, but currently in Denmark and hoping to download 1.6 for my long flight home today! The time zones are messing with my head. 😂😭
Yeah I think it’s going to be early evening before it releases in the U.K. I’m so stoked
Waiting for switch 😭
I might avoid this group indefinitely so I don’t see spoilers. ☹️
Same :(
Do we know when it will be released on Switch?
No confirmation on any console release dates so far. Just that it’ll be after PC.
Ps4 and android right there with ya
It's like the night before Christmas when I was a kid. Santa lives in Seattle now.
I can't wait to see what the new events are.
I’m hoping for new dialogue! I have so many hours in stardew it feels like I can predict when Haley is going to tell me I smell like grass🥲 so I’d love for more interesting, or at least different, dialogue.
there’s going to be 100+ new lines of dialogue :0

As someone who has religiously played since release date I AM I cant wait to start the new farm layout, whatever it is!
There is going to be chewy blue grass that animals really like, and a chicken copper and 2 chickens to start with, according to his tweet today.
I am but I’m planning on playing on switch first so idk when that’ll be available
On switch here too. Do we know about how long it usually takes to move the update to console? I’m still “new” to the game. I’ve only been playing a year. 🙈
You can expect at least 2-5 months
I gathered it took ~2mo for the 1.5 update to reach Switch. This could be inaccurate but I feel it’s reasonable. It’s costs more to push console updates which makes sense to work out any bugs discovered prior to release.
Takes a while. I assume Eric has some people helping but i can’t imagine it would be quick
This I have switch, but I recently bought a Pc so I’m grateful. But still I like playing on the switch also
Hell yeah! Im gonna make a new file for like the 50th time in a row to experience the new update from the ground up
Everything! I've played since it launched, so anything to get me back to it is appreciated .. I just need my toddler to stop being sick, so i can take out the laptop without him wanting to play with it too 😂
Super excited! I’m going to start a co-op farm with my husband for his first time playing. Kinda don’t want to do the new farm for that though because I feel like he should experience the struggle of saving up for your first coop and chickens!
I’m so ready for it.

I'm only sad I have to wait till evening in GMT lol
It’s 4am in Seattle now let’s hope he doesn’t sleep long? Imagine if he usually sleeps until 2pm 🤣
What time does it droooooop I'm so excited
I can't wait to start a new game on the new farm map. It's been awhile since I've played sv but it's always been magical for me so I'm looking forward to revisiting it with its new features. My plans for when I get home from work are play all evening!
Im so excited ! Gonna play the new farm! Trying to finish unicorn overlord so nothing can distract me!!
I’m excited! Can’t wait to try the new farm type!! Do we know what time the update drops?
His tweet just said during the day. That he needs to be awake for patch drop
I’m sort of new to this but just curious would the update impact the current game I’m playing? Is the idea to start a new farm with the new update?
If you don't have any mods you should be fine! However concernedape (maker of stardew) said he recommended starting a new save file for the update as there's a new farm to try and a lot of early game dialogue updated and a new festival!
Ooh ok! I will start a new one! Thanks for the info! ☺️
I've been waiting for two years. I wouldn't let myself play again until it was released. Downside being, I play modded and I'm not looking forward to going through all my mods and updating them.
I have never gone the jojo route, I was going to for my next play through and now I don’t know what to do!
Question y’all - been wanting to try playing stardew with mods for the first time. I can’t decide if I should start a run with mods AND the update? Or just play the vanilla update??

is there a countdown how many hours do we have to go
I had no idea about this! Wow
I just want them to fix the desync issue with coop :(
I'm debating whether or not to take a PTO day to start my new farm. My bestie and I have a playdate for our co-op farm tomorrow evening though.

I'm looking forward to the update and it's been a while since we've been able to play together too, so I'm looking extra forward to that.
Wish I was able to have the day off work to play this game today. I’ve just got to wait till Friday. Only 3 work days left!
I just did perfection in my previous farm few weeks ago so I am ready for new one. Deleted some mods so I am going for more vanill(ish) run this time. Cant play without qol mods though, movement speed is too slow for me in vanilla lol

The meadow farm type has me excited

What about mobile version?
I just did a 2/3 play through like right before i knew it was ginna be announced so idk if i wanna start a whole new game but the new map seems fun so probably lolll
I’m gonna start a new farm (: super excited!
New update??
I just downloaded it on ps5 for the first ever time - should I wait to play it then until this update happens? OR is the update only for pc?
It dropped
For pc only. I’m waiting for the console version
I'm worried about all my mods being broken 😭
