Stardew Valley developer Eric “ConcernedApe” Barone has a behavior of being fairly quiet on social media, so when he does converse up everybody pays consideration. Today he tweeted simply two phrases: “iridium scythe” which is a nod to a device improve apparently long-desired by far more gamers than I might anticipated.
Final we heard, Barone was taking a hiatus from growth on his subsequent sport Haunted Chocolatier to concentrate on a 1.6 replace for Stardew Valley. On the time, Barone mentioned that 1.6 is “principally adjustments for modders” however that it might embrace some content material updates too. So the apparent guess is that he is planning so as to add a brand new harvesting device tier in that eventual replace.
Stardew Valley’s scythe is initially used to reap grass for crafting or feeding animals and can be used for harvesting grains like wheat and amaranth. Different instruments in Stardew may be upgraded a couple of instances from copper to metal to gold to iridium—Stardew’s prime device materials—gaining extra performance at every degree. The scythe is completely different although. There’s solely the starter scythe and a gold scythe which has an elevated reducing radius and harm.
It did not appear to be a very egregious omission to me. I believed we have been all nonetheless maximising revenue on historical fruit wine. Are you all actually planting that a lot wheat and kale? Absolutely you are not utilizing the scythe as a weapon within the mines. And but, the replies and quote tweets are stuffed with glee.
This is a pattern of reactions to this adjective and noun:
- “FINALLY ALL PURPLE”
- “Omg????? It’s the little issues 💕”
- “nature is therapeutic”
- “he tweeted 2 fucking phrases and that i’m going batshit over right here WTAF”
- “YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES!”
That’ll present me to underestimate farm sim gamers. It truly is the little issues.
Stardew Valley’s modding group has completed quite a bit in the previous few years to handle little annoyances and fixes, a few of which you could find options to in our finest Stardew Valley mods checklist. For those who’ve absolutely retired from Stardew, contemplate this ever-growing checklist of video games like Stardew Valley to vary issues up. Although hey, may as effectively shoot your shot requesting another new options alongside the iridium scythe since Barone will not cease engaged on new Stardew Valley sport updates.
