Stardew Valley’s 1.6 update led to new peak concurrent records on Steam, with a whopping 236,614 players jumping in last month, per SteamDB. Developer Eric “ConcernedApe” Barone has since released update 1.6.4, which contains bug fixes and improvements but also packs 40 new mine layouts.
These range from 20 “alternate” layouts that manifest upon reaching the bottom and 20 new volcano layouts. Other new features include four new fairy styles, fish frenzies, tree-specific drops from the Shaving enchantment, mystery boxes and golden mystery boxes at the Raccoon Shop, and more.
Edits to the Korean, Portuguese, Russian, Hungarian and Turkish translations have been made, with the Chinese version also receiving several improvements. There are also multiple balance changes for treasure chests in Skull Caves, Life Elixirs and Energy Tonics. Furthermore, players can look forward to randomized monsters in the first volcano level daily.
Check out some of the patch notes below. Stardew Valley is available for PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, PC, iOS and Android and has sold over 30 million copies.
