Patience is the key to ConcernedApe's farming sim, but the next Stardew Valley update can't come soon enough; since its first release in 2016, Stardew Valley's wholesome farming and laid-back town life have taken root in everyone's heart. Four years after Stardew's launch, ConcernedApe continues to gently tend to his game, adding bulky updates and bug fixes to the base game.

Fans of Stardew Valley have received numerous updates over the years, including Stardew Valley multiplayer farming, four new farm maps, and the phenomenal 1.4 "Everything Update" that tweaked nearly every feature of the game. enjoyed.

ConcernedApe has hinted at an upcoming 1.5 update for this farming sim, but if you are not aware of all the previous updates to the game, we have prepared a detailed list below for your reference.

We have cataloged patches and updates and divided them into convenient bars at the top. Since there are so many, I also created a second page of past updates for farming sims.

What's in store for the next big free update to Stardew Valley? We don't know, but ConcernedApe has confirmed that there will be another content update on Stardew's 4th anniversary. The last major updates were fairly large (Everything update and Multiplayer update) and took quite a bit of time to develop. We probably won't hear specifics on 1.5 until closer to release.

Here's what we know so far, thanks to Barone's teaser and post:

The farm in the split-screen screenshot certainly looks like it could be on a beach! Perhaps update 1.5 will offer a new farm map to choose from when starting a new game.

ConcernedApe has released the 1.4.1 patch to address issues found in the 1.4 Everything Update. This patch was originally listed as version "1.4.0.1" but was changed to 1.4.1 for compatibility with the Stardew Valley Modding API.

Below are the fixes and changes from the patch notes.

ConcernedApe places a high priority on avoiding spoilers when publishing notes for major content updates, so the blog post announcing all 1.4 updates has some previews of the new content but does not go into detail. In the same spirit, we begin with an overview of the 1.4 updates.

Below are the highlights of the update without spoiling the new story itself:

A new endgame mystery about the ruins.

A new 14 heart event for each spouse "We wanted to introduce a little more of what each spouse has been up to since their marriage and add another layer of post-marital fun."

Fishpond A new fish farm building where you can raise fish and harvest a variety of items. Most fish produce eggs, which can be further processed in preservation jars. However, some fish produce other things, and many also produce useful secondary items.

Four Corners farm map Four Corners is a great new separate accounting option for multiplayer, as each farmer can have his or her own living quarters. However, it can also be enjoyed as a single-player or cooperative farm. Each quadrant has different perks, but the total farming area is smaller due to the cliffs that intrude. It is interesting to note that the greenhouse, farm cave, and pet area are located in the center of the farm.
